DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The embodiment of the present application discloses a sanding part, which is mainly applied to a sand printing machine.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sanding part comprises a case 1, wherein the case 1 is vertically arranged, and the horizontal section of the case 1 is in a rectangular shape.

[0053] The inside of the cabinet 1 is shaped into a cavity 11, and a plurality of sliding positions 12 are vertically arranged in the cavity 11. The sliding positions 12 are arranged in a rectangular array. In this embodiment, four sliding positions 12 are arranged, i.e., two sliding positions 12 are arranged in each horizontal row and each vertical row in the cavity 11. A position corresponding to one sliding position 12 on the upper side of the cavity 11 on the upper side of the cabinet 1 is provided with a slot 13.

[0054] A plurality of sandboxes 2 are arranged in the cavity 11 and are used in cooperation with the sliding positions 12. In order to ensure that the sandboxes 2 can be exchanged between the sliding positions 12, the number of sandboxes 2 should be at least one less than the number of sliding positions 12. In this embodiment, four sliding positions 12 are arranged, and therefore, at most three sandboxes 2 are arranged. For the sake of description, three sandboxes 2 are taken as an example for illustration. The three sandboxes 2 are moved between the four sliding positions 12, so that the three sandboxes 2 can be sequentially located in the slot 13, thereby facilitating sanding of the sandboxes 2.

[0055] In this way, the N sliding positions 12 arranged in a rectangular array in the cabinet 1 cooperate with N-1 sandboxes 2 that can slide between the sliding positions 12. The sliding of the sandboxes 2 along the sliding positions 12 enables the positions of the sandboxes 2 to be exchanged with each other, so that any sandbox 2 can be located at a position corresponding to the sliding position 12 of the slot 13, thereby facilitating sanding of the sandboxes 2 through the slot 13. Different sand can be stored in different sandboxes 2, and sanding operation of different sand can be achieved by moving different sandboxes 2. This achieves the switching of different sand without stopping the machine or removing and replacing the sand from the sandboxes 2, thereby improving the sanding efficiency of a single sample of multiple types of sand, and improving the printing efficiency of the sand mold.

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding mode of the sandboxes 2 in the cabinet 1 is further illustrated by way of example as follows:

[0057] Referring to Figure 3 A slide rail 14 is formed on one side of the cavity 11 of the cabinet 1 and corresponds to the positions of the plurality of sliding positions 12. The slide rail 14 is connected to the plurality of sliding positions 12 in sequence. Each sandbox 2 is provided with a sliding carriage 21 on the side close to the sliding groove. The sliding carriage 21 is rotationally connected to the sandbox 2, and the rotation axis of the sliding carriage 21 is horizontally arranged. Two push wheels 211 are rotationally connected to the two sides of the slide rail 14 on the sliding carriage 21. The two push wheels 211 can abut against the opposite sides of the slide rail 14 and move along the slide rail 14. In addition, in order to improve the tightness of the cooperation between the slide rail 14 and the push wheels 211, the slide rail 14 is formed by processing a I-shaped steel in this embodiment. The sliding carriage 21 is also provided with a driving component for driving the sliding carriage 21 to move or stop.

[0058] ReferringFigure 3 , so that by driving the movement of the carriage 21, the push wheel 211 along the slide rail 14 can be run, each sand box 2 can be moved to replace the position between the plurality of sliding positions 12, and because the carriage 21 is rotatably arranged on one side of the sand box 2, the sand box 2 can be kept with the center of gravity downward during the movement of the carriage 21, thereby avoiding the sand box 2 from falling during the movement of the sand box 2.

[0059] Referring to Figure 3 , the drive rack 141 is formed along the track on both sides of the slide rail 14. The drive component includes a drive gear 212 coaxially fixed to one side of each push wheel 211, the drive gear 212 is engaged with the drive rack 141, and the drive element such as a servo motor, a stepping motor is fixed in the carriage 21, the output end of the drive element is connected to the axis position of the push wheel 211, so that the push wheel 211 and the drive gear 212 can be driven synchronously, so that the drive element drives the push wheel 211 and the drive gear 212 to synchronously rotate, so that the drive gear 212 can move along the drive rack 141, thereby realizing the movement of the carriage 21 along the slide rail 14, completing the position adjustment of each sand box 2. When it is necessary to stop the movement of the sand box 2, the drive gear 212 is stopped by the drive element, the engagement of the drive gear 212 and the drive rack 141 is locked, so that the position of the sand box 2 is fixed.

[0060] Referring to Figure 3 , further, the upper surface of the case 1 is formed with an inclined surface 15 inclined upward away from the position of the sand box 2, the inclined surface 15 is located below the position of the sand box 2, and the sliding position 12 is located on the side of the horizontal direction of the other sliding position 12. So it is convenient to move the sand box 2 along the horizontal direction to the position of the sand box 2.

[0061] The specific structure of the sand box 2 is further described as follows:

[0062] Referring to Figure 4 , the sand box 2 is in a rectangular box structure, the upper end is open, and the sand box 2 can be filled with sand. The bottom of the sand box 2 is horizontally provided with a sand pushing plate 22, the side edge of the sand pushing plate 22 abuts against the inner wall of the sand box 2, and the lower side of the sand box 2 is provided with a sand pushing driving element 221 for driving the sand pushing plate 22 to move upward. In this embodiment, the sand pushing driving element 221 is not limited to the sand pushing box 2, that is, any element that can realize the vertical movement of the sand pushing plate 22 can be used as the sand pushing driving element 221. So when the sand pushing box 2 moves to the position of the sand box 2, the sand pushing plate 22 is pushed vertically upward by the sand pushing box 2, so that the sand is pushed out of the upper end of the sand box 2 and protrudes from the upper side of the case 1.

[0063] Referring to Figure 2 Figure 3In addition, to avoid the sand box 2 from shaking during the sand filling process, a limiting component is arranged at the sliding position 12 below the accommodation slot 13 in the cavity 11, for limiting the movement of the sand box 2, which will be further described below:

[0064] Referring to FIG. 2 and Figure 3 The limiting component includes an insertion block 16 arranged on the side of the cavity 11 where the sliding rail 14 is installed, and the machine box 1 is provided with a limiting push cylinder 161 corresponding to the position of the sliding block, and the telescopic rod of the limiting push cylinder 161 is directed towards the sand box 2 and fixed to the insertion block 16. The side of the sand box 2 close to the sliding rail 14 is formed with an insertion slot 23, and when the sand box 2 moves to the sliding position 12 below the accommodation slot 13, the limiting push cylinder 161 drives the telescopic rod to extend, so that the insertion block 16 can be inserted into the insertion slot 23 of the sliding rail 14, thereby fixing the sand box 2 in the cavity 11 and avoiding the sand box 2 from shaking, ensuring the stable operation of the sand filling process.

[0065] Referring to Figure 4 Further, the upper side of the sand box 2 can be provided with a shielding plate 24 for opening or closing the upper side of the sand box 2.

[0066] The shielding plate 24 can be fixed by using a detachable connection mode such as insertion or clamping with the upper end of the sand box 2, so that the shielding plate 24 can be easily opened when filling sand or sanding.

[0067] Further, to facilitate the opening of the shielding plate 24, a winding component can also be provided to wind the shielding plate 24, which can be implemented by the following scheme:

[0068] In this embodiment, the shielding plate 24 is a roller shutter plate, which is composed of a plurality of parallel hard plates and a deformable soft curtain fixed between adjacent plates. In this way, the shielding plate 24 can be wound and can ensure the strength after being unfolded.

[0069] Referring to Figure 5 The side of the sand box 2 is formed with a sealing cavity 25, and the winding component is arranged in the sealing cavity 25. The winding component specifically includes a winding roller 251 horizontally rotating in the sealing cavity 25 and a winding motor 252 fixed to the end of the winding roller 251. The machine box 1 forms a communication groove between the sealing cavity 25 and the sand container part, one end of the shielding plate 24 passes through the communication groove and is fixed to the winding roller 251, and the upper side wall of the sand box 2 is provided with a guide groove 26 along the movement track of the shielding plate 24. The shielding plate 24 can move in the guide groove 26, and the winding motor 252 drives the winding roller 251 to rotate, which can drive the shielding plate 24 to move synchronously along the guide groove 26, thereby realizing winding or unwinding and opening or closing the upper end of the sand box 2, effectively avoiding the sand from spilling out.

[0070] To facilitate the quick filling and discharging of the sand in the sand box 2, the following further settings can also be made:

[0071] With reference to Figure 6 , the cabinet 1 is provided with an inspection door 17 on the side away from the slide rail 14 corresponding to the cavity 11, one side of the inspection door 17 is hinged to the cabinet 1, and the other side of the inspection door 17 is buckled to the cabinet 1. The cavity 11 of the cabinet 1 can be opened through the inspection door 17, so that the running state of each sand box 2 in the sliding position 12 can be observed.

[0072] With reference to Figure 6 , the sand box 2 is horizontally provided with a sand filling port 27 at the upper end of the side away from the sliding frame 21, and a first closing plate 271 is vertically and slidably connected to the lower position of the outer side of the sand box 2 corresponding to the sand filling port 27. The first closing plate 271 vertically moves upward to block the sand filling port 27. The sand box 2 is fixed with a first push cylinder 272 at the lower side corresponding to the first closing plate 271, which is used to push the first closing plate 271 to vertically move. The sand box 2 is horizontally provided with a sand outlet 28 at the lower end of the side away from the sliding frame 21, and a second closing plate 281 is vertically and slidably connected to the upper position of the outer side of the sand box 2 corresponding to the sand outlet 28.

The sand box 2 is fixed with a second push cylinder 282 at the upper side corresponding to the second closing plate 281, which is used to push the second closing plate 281 to move.

[0073] In this way, when it is necessary to fill the sand, the inspection door 17 is opened, the sand filling port 27 is opened by moving the first closing plate 271, then the sand is filled in the sand box 2 through the sand filling port 27, and then the sand filling port 27 is closed by the first closing plate 271. When it is necessary to discharge the residual sand in the sand box 2, the inspection door 17 is also opened, the sand outlet 28 is opened by moving the second closing plate 281, so that the residual sand in the sand box 2 can be discharged from the sand outlet 28 by gravity, and then the sand outlet 28 is closed by the second closing plate 281, and the sand is refilled.

[0082] In summary, when printing sand molds is required, first, the sand bed 32 is raised to a height that is lower than the thickness of one layer of sand on the upper side of the cabinet 1, the spraying nozzle 54 is driven to move by the binder spraying head 53, and the binder is sprayed on the upper side of the sand bed 32 according to the preset pattern, the uppermost sand of the sand box 2 is pushed to protrude from the upper side of the cabinet 1 by the sand feeding part, and then the sand is pushed to move towards the sand bed 32 by the sand laying roller 41, so that the sand is laid on the upper side of the sand bed 32. At this time, the sand on the sand bed 32 that is coated with the binder can be bonded and fixed. At this time, the bottom layer of the sand mold can be completed. Then, the sand laying roller 41 is retracted, and the binder is sprayed on the sand laid on the sand bed 32 according to the pattern slice of the next layer by the binder spraying part 5. Then, the sand bed 32 is lowered by one layer of sand mold height, so that the sand mold on the upper side of the sand bed 32 is lowered synchronously with the cabinet 1. The sand feeding part continues to push the sand out of the upper side of the cabinet 1, and then the sand laying roller 41 moves again to realize the bonding of the sand mold on the sand bed 32. Thus, the sand mold printing required can be achieved by continuous reciprocation. When other sand is required, the sand box 2 on the upper side is covered by the shielding plate 24, the sand box 2 is rotated to the other sand box 2 on the upper side by the sliding frame 21, the shielding plate 24 is opened, another spraying nozzle 54 is used, and the previous printing steps are repeated, so that the rapid printing of a single sample of various types of sand can be realized.

[0083] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
