[0027] like Figs. 1 to 4As shown, an investment casting shell-making device includes a housing 1, a support assembly 2, a power assembly 5, and a feeding assembly. Through slots 11 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and a conveying guide rail 3 is arranged between the two through slots 11. The support assembly 2 is installed at the bottom of the conveying guide rail 3, and a wax model workpiece 4 is installed on the support assembly 2. Driven by an external power source, the support assembly 2 slides along the conveying guide rail 3. A support frame 13 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a first mounting disc 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 13. The support frames 13 are evenly installed on the first mounting disc... The side of the disc 16 provides stable support for the first mounting disc 16. A power component 5 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting disc 16. The power component 5 is used to drive the rotation of the support component 2 and adjust the support angle of the support component 2. A feeding component is installed on the top of the box 1. The feeding component is used to provide uniform sand to the box 1. By driving the support component 2 to rotate through the power component 5 and adjusting the support angle of the support component 2 on the wax model workpiece 4, the feeding component can provide sand to the box 1, so that the wax model workpiece 4 on the support component 2 can be uniformly sanded.

[0028] The support assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21, a top plate 22, a limiting disc 23, and a mounting rod 26. The connecting rod 21 is connected to a chain inside the conveying guide rail 3. Driven by an external power source, the chain inside the conveying guide rail 3 can move the support assembly 2 along the erection direction of the conveying guide rail 3. The top plate 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 21. The limiting disc 23 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the top plate 22. Several sets of clamping plates 25 are evenly installed circumferentially at the bottom of the top plate 22. A collar is rotatably installed on each clamping plate 25. The collar is rotatably installed on the mounting rod 26. A support disc 29 is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting rod 26 away from the limiting disc 23. A wax model workpiece 4 is mounted on the support plate 29. A driven gear 27 is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting rod 26 near the limiting disc 23. A bevel gear 28 is fixedly mounted on the end of the driven gear 27. A first annular gear disc 24 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limiting disc 23. The tooth surface of the limiting disc 23 faces the bottom of the housing 1. The driven gear 27 and the first annular gear disc 24 are in a transmission engagement. The bottom of the limiting disc 23 is provided with an annular tooth groove. Through the transmission engagement of the power component 5 with the annular tooth groove, the first annular gear disc 24 can be driven to engage with the driven gear 27, thereby driving the mounting rod 26 and the wax model workpiece 4 to rotate.

[0029] The power assembly 5 includes a turntable 51, a first motor 52, a conical cover 53, a push rod 54, and a guide sleeve 55. The turntable 51 is rotatably engaged with a first mounting disc 16. The first motor 52 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the first mounting disc 16, and the output end of the first motor 52 is connected to the bottom of the turntable 51. Driven by the first motor 52, the turntable 51 can rotate on the first mounting disc 16. A hydraulic telescopic rod 56 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the turntable 51. A push plate 57 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating disk 51. Guide rods are connected between the top two sides of the push plate 57 and the bottom of the rotating disk 51. A top rod 54 is fixedly installed on the top of the push plate 57. An annular cover 67 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top of the first mounting disk 16. A conical cover 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the annular cover 67. A guide sleeve 55 is installed on the top of the conical cover 53. The top rod 54 slides with the guide sleeve 55. A second mounting disk 59 is installed on the top of the guide sleeve 55. The top rod... A drive gear 66 is fixedly installed on the top of 54. The drive gear 66 is engaged with the annular toothed groove at the bottom of the limiting disc 23. The first motor 52 drives the turntable 51 and the push rod 54 to rotate, thereby driving the limiting disc 23 and the first annular toothed disc 24 to rotate, thus realizing the circumferential rotation of the wax model workpiece 4 in the horizontal direction. A pressure signal acquisition module 58 is embedded in the connection between the push rod 54 and the push plate 57. The pressure signal acquisition module 58 is used to collect the pressure signal between the push rod 54 and the push plate 57 and send the signal to the controller 6. The controller 6 is installed on the annular cover 67. When the drive gear 66 is inserted into the annular toothed groove at the bottom of the limiting disc 23, the pressure signal collected by the pressure signal acquisition module 58 will increase. When the pressure signal collected by the pressure signal acquisition module 58 reaches the pressure threshold set in the controller 6, the controller 6 sends a rotation command to the first motor 52, thereby realizing the first motor 52 driving the mounting rod 26 and the wax model workpiece 4 to rotate.

[0030] The second mounting disc 59 is circumferentially mounted with several sets of electric telescopic rods 61. An arc-shaped support plate 62 is rotatably mounted on the top of each electric telescopic rod 61. In its initial state, the arc-shaped support plate 62 rests on the bottom of the mounting rod 26. The contact point between the mounting rod 26 and the arc-shaped support plate 62 is located between the support disc 29 and the mounting rod 26. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rods 61 allows the mounting rod 26 to drive the wax model workpiece 4 to rotate around the clamping plate 25. Several sets of triangular plates 65 are connected between the bottom of the second mounting disc 59 and the guide sleeve 55 to reduce interference to the second mounting disc 59 when the electric telescopic rods 61 support the mounting rod 26. The second mounting disc 59 is provided with a second annular toothed disc 64, which rotatably engages with the second mounting disc 59. A ring is mounted on the inner side of the second annular toothed disc 64, and a guide block is mounted on the inner side of the ring. The top rod 54 is positioned along the top... A guide groove is provided in the extension direction of rod 54. The guide block slides in the guide groove. After the hydraulic telescopic rod 56 pulls the top rod 54 downward to disengage the drive gear 66 from the limiting disc 23, the second annular toothed disc 64 can still rotate under the drive of the top rod 54. A miniature blower 63 is installed on the second mounting disc 59. The miniature blower 63 is used to blow clean the second annular toothed disc 64 to ensure its cleanliness. The second annular toothed disc 64 is driven by the bevel gear 28. Under the extension of the electric telescopic rod 61, the mounting rod 26 rotates around the clamping plate 25, tilting and lifting the wax model workpiece 4 upward while making the bevel gear 28 contact the second annular toothed disc 64. Driven by the rotation of the first motor 52 and the top rod 54, the upwardly tilted wax model workpiece 4 can be sanded, which can avoid the occurrence of sanding dead corners, thereby improving the thickness and integrity of the shell after sanding.

[0031] The top of the first mounting disc 16 is provided with an annular groove 17, and a number of rollers 18 are rotatably installed in the annular groove 17. While the turntable 51 and the first mounting disc 16 are rotating and cooperating, the rotation of the rollers 18 can reduce the friction force experienced by the turntable 51 relative to the first mounting disc 16.

[0032] The top of the box 1 is provided with an annular discharge port 7. A bracket 8 is installed inside the top of the box 1 to provide stable support for the feeding assembly. A grid plate 71 is installed inside the annular discharge port 7. Driven by the feeding assembly, sand particles fall evenly from the annular discharge port 7 onto the wax model workpiece 4 inside the box 1. A sand discharge port 12 is provided on one side of the bottom of the box 1. A guide plate 14 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the sand discharge port 12. The guide plate 14 is located inside the box 1, and the end of the guide plate 14 away from the sand discharge port 12 is installed on the box 1 by a spring. A vibrator 15 is installed between the bottom of the box 1 and the guide plate 14. The vibrator 15 can quickly discharge the sand particles that fall to the bottom of the box 1, which is convenient for recycling.

[0033] The feeding assembly includes a second motor, a rotating shaft 74, a support arm 75, and a scraper 76. A conical guard plate 72 and a rectifier shell 73 are fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. The rectifier shell 73 is located inside the conical guard plate 72. The second motor is installed inside the rectifier shell 73. The output end of the second motor is equipped with a rotating shaft 74. A support arm 75 is installed on the rotating shaft 74. A scraper 76 parallel to the top surface of the housing 1 is installed at the end of the support arm 75 away from the rotating shaft 74. The rotating shaft 74 is driven to rotate by the second motor, thereby enabling the scraper 76 to clean the sand particles between the rectifier shell 73 and the conical guard plate 72. This allows the sand particles to fall evenly into the housing 1 through the grid plate 71 and the annular discharge port 7. Combined with the rotation of the wax model workpiece 4 and the coating adhering to the wax model workpiece 4, the sand particles can be evenly adhered to the wax model workpiece 4.

[0034] The bottom of the annular cover 67 is provided with a rubber plate, and several sets of strips are installed on the bottom of the rubber plate. These strips can be used in conjunction with the rotation of the scraper 76 to scrape sand particles into the grid plate 71 and the annular discharge port 7, thereby achieving uniform material feeding.

[0035] A shell-making process for investment casting includes the following specific steps:

[0036] The wax model workpiece 4 is fixed on the support plate 29 on the support assembly 2. After the wax model workpiece 4 is coated with paint, the support assembly 2 and the wax model workpiece 4 are sent into the box 1 through the conveying guide rail 3.

[0037] The hydraulic telescopic rod 56 extends and inserts the drive gear 66 into the annular tooth groove at the bottom of the limiting disc 23. The first motor 52 drives the push rod 54 and the first annular tooth disc 24 to rotate, thereby realizing that the wax model workpiece 4 follows the installation rod 26 to rotate and perform a uniform sanding operation on the wax model workpiece 4 in the horizontal direction.

[0038] The hydraulic telescopic rod 56 retracts and drives the electric telescopic rod 61 to extend. As the wax model workpiece 4 and the mounting rod 26 tilt upward, the bevel gear 28 and the second ring gear 64 are engaged in transmission. Under the drive of the first motor 52, the wax model workpiece 4 is subjected to sanding operation at an upward tilt angle.

[0039] After the sand is applied, the support assembly 2 is moved out of the box 1 via the conveyor rail 3 for drying.
