[0052] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0053] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The low-pressure casting machine comprises a workbench 1, a fixed plate 10 arranged on the workbench 1, at least three support columns 11 fixedly arranged at the periphery of the fixed plate 10 in the vertical direction, a driving mechanism 2 arranged on the workbench 1, a guide column 20 and a movable die plate 21 arranged on the driving mechanism 2, the movable die plate 21 being connected to the bottom of the guide column 20 and movably arranged above the fixed plate 10, the driving mechanism 2 being used to drive the guide column 20 to move in the vertical direction, so that the movable die plate 21 approaches or moves away from the fixed plate 10, at least three guide mechanisms 3, each of which is movably arranged at the periphery of the movable die plate 21, a rolling piece 30 and an adjusting piece 31 movably arranged on each guide mechanism 3, the rolling piece 30 being rolled and tightly arranged on the support column 11 and being rotatable relative to the movable die plate 21, the adjusting piece 31 being horizontally arranged towards the support column 11, and the adjusting piece 31 being used to push the rolling piece 30 to be rolled and tightly arranged on the support column 11, so that the movable die plate 21 is in a horizontal posture and reciprocally moves in the vertical direction, an elastic piece 4 movably sleeved on the adjusting piece 31, one end of the elastic piece 4 being connected to the periphery of the movable die plate 21, the other end of the elastic piece 4 being connected to the adjusting piece 31, and the elastic piece 4 being used to apply a buffering force to the rolling piece 30 when the rolling piece 30 rolls in the vertical direction of the support column 11, a pressing plate 5 movably arranged on the fixed plate 10, the pressing plate 5 being used to extend into the movable die plate 21 and the fixed plate 10 to form a product required, a heat preservation furnace 6 and a lifting mechanism 7 movably arranged, and the lifting mechanism 7 being connected to both sides of the heat preservation furnace 6 to drive the heat preservation furnace 6 to approach or move away from the fixed plate 10 in the vertical direction.
[0054] Specifically, the present application is mainly based on the movement of the original movable die plate 21 along the axis direction of the guide column 20, and the guide mechanism 3 is arranged at the periphery of the movable die plate 21, as shown in Figures 1 to 2As shown, the rolling piece 30 on the guide mechanism 3 rolls against the support column 11, which improves the stability during the movement of the movable mold plate 21 and greatly avoids the shaking of the movable mold plate 21 during the vertical movement. Since the rolling piece 30 will have a gap with the support column 11 after long-term use, the movable mold plate 21 of the low-pressure casting machine is also provided with an adjusting piece 31. The adjusting piece 31 pushes the rolling piece 30 to rotate relative to the movable mold plate 21, so that the worn rolling piece 30 can roll against the support column 11 again, further improving the stability of the low-pressure casting machine during operation. In addition, the present scheme is also provided with an elastic piece 4 connected between the adjusting piece 31 and the movable mold plate 21. The design of the elastic piece 4 can give the rolling piece 30 a certain buffering force during rolling on the support column 11, that is, the elastic piece 4 can effectively avoid the phenomenon of shaking or even jamming of the rolling piece 30 during rolling due to the unevenness of the support column 11, improving the smoothness of the casting machine during casting. Therefore, the overall structure of the low-pressure casting machine is relatively simple, and the movable mold plate 21 moves more stably compared with the traditional low-pressure casting machine, ensuring that the quality of the workpiece after casting is not affected.
[0055] The rolling piece 30 comprises: a rotatingly arranged mounting seat 300, an extension plate 210 being detachably connected to the periphery of the movable mold plate 21, one end of the mounting seat 300 being hingedly connected to the end of the extension plate 210 close to the support column 11; a connecting shaft 301 and a roller 302, the connecting shaft 301 being arranged in the mounting seat 300, and the roller 302 being rotatably arranged on the connecting shaft 301. The support column 11 is provided with a guide rail 110 in the vertical direction, and the roller 302 rolls against the guide rail 110.
[0056] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The extension plate 210 at the periphery of the movable mold plate 21 faces the support column 11, and the top of the mounting seat 300 on the rolling piece 30 is hingedly connected to the end of the extension plate 210. Since the connecting shaft 301 is arranged on the mounting seat 300, and the roller 302 is rotatably arranged on the connecting shaft 301, the roller 302 at the periphery of the movable mold plate 21 rolls in the vertical direction on the support column 11, improving the smoothness of the movable mold plate 21 during vertical movement and avoiding the shaking of the movable mold plate 21 during movement. It should be noted that the extension plate 210 in the present scheme is detachably arranged on the movable mold plate 21, so when the roller 302 or the connecting shaft 301 is damaged after long-term use, since the rolling piece 30 is rotatably arranged on the extension plate 210, the worker can detach the extension plate 210 from the movable mold plate 21, and then replace the damaged parts of the rolling piece 30, which is convenient for the worker to operate and further improves the stability of the low-pressure casting machine during operation.
[0057] Preferably, in addition to using the roller 302 to roll on the guide rail 110, this solution can also use a rolling bearing to replace the roller 302 to achieve the above function, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the moving template 21 during vertical movement.
[0058] The adjusting component 31 includes: a leveling bolt 310 arranged horizontally, one end of which is movably disposed within the movable template 21, and the other end of which is movably abutted against the side wall of the mounting base 300; a first nut 311, which is rotatably disposed at the end of the leveling bolt 310 away from the movable template 21, and when the first nut 311 moves relative to the leveling bolt 310, it pushes the mounting base 300 to rotate relative to the extension plate 210, so that the roller 302 rolls and abuts against the guide rail 110; and a second nut 312, which is rotatably disposed at the position of the leveling bolt 310 near the movable template 21, and the second nut 312 is connected to the end of the elastic member 4 away from the movable template 21.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting component 31 is arranged horizontally as a whole. The right end of the equalizing bolt 310 is movably disposed within the moving template 21, and the leftmost part of the equalizing bolt 310 is movably pressed against the right side wall of the mounting base 300. When the roller 302 wears down after prolonged use, a gap will inevitably appear between the roller 302 and the support column 11. At this time, the leftmost first nut 311 on the equalizing bolt 310 rotates along... Figure 2 Move to the left, using the first nut 311 to push the mounting base 300 relative to the extension plate 210 along... Figure 2 Rotating clockwise causes the worn roller 302 to roll and press against the guide rail 110 again during the rotation, thus preventing gaps between the roller 302 and the guide rail 110 from affecting the stability of the moving template 21 during vertical movement.
[0060] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the right end of the equal-height bolt 310 is movably disposed within the movable template 21, and when the equal-height bolt 310 is in a stationary state, the right end is always pressed against the inner wall of the movable template 21 near the support column 11. Furthermore, because one end of the elastic element 4 is connected to the movable template 21, and the other end of the elastic element 4 is connected to... Figure 2 On the right side wall of the second nut 312, therefore along the second nut 312 Figure 2When rotating to the right, the equal-height bolt 310 is in a static state, and the elastic member 4 is compressed and deformed, that is, the second nut 312 can adjust the plastic deformation capacity of the elastic member 4 by extruding the elastic member 4, so that when the guide rail 110 is uneven or the low-pressure casting machine vibrates during the rolling of the roller 302 along the length direction of the guide rail 110, the equal-height bolt 310 can be displaced by a small amplitude through the elastic member 4, thereby buffering and damping the rolling of the roller 302.
[0061] Preferably, the elastic member 4 in the present scheme can be a compression spring, a return spring or other elastic devices, and the equal-height bolt 310 in the present scheme can be replaced by a stepped shaft, which is matched with the inner threads of the first nut 311 and the second nut 312 through the outer threads on the stepped shaft, so as to achieve the same adjustment function as described above.
[0062] The driving mechanism 2 comprises a first driving member 22, a mounting plate 12 provided on the workbench 1, and the first driving member 22 fixedly provided on the mounting plate 12; a gear and a circular rack 23, the circular rack 23 being arranged in the vertical direction, the top of the guide column 20 being provided with a connecting plate 200, the top end of the circular rack 23 being connected with the connecting plate 200, and the gear being connected with the output end of the first driving member 22 and engaged with the circular rack 23; when the first driving member 22 drives the circular rack 23 to move in the vertical direction, the guide column 20 moves along its axis direction and drives the movable mold plate 21 to approach or move away from the fixed plate 10.
[0063] As shown in Figure 3 , for the driving mode of the movable mold plate 21 moving in the vertical direction, the present scheme is provided with the first driving member 22 on the mounting plate 12 of the workbench 1, the output end of the first driving member 22 being connected with a gear (not shown in the figure), and the circular rack 23 engaged with the gear being arranged in the vertical direction, and since the top end of the circular rack 23 is connected with the connecting plate 200 at the top of the guide column 20, under the driving of the first driving member 22, the circular rack 23 reciprocates in the vertical direction by the rotation of the gear, thereby making the movable mold plate 21 approach or move away from the fixed plate 10 during the movement of the guide column 20, ensuring the stability of the low-pressure casting machine during casting.
[0064] Preferably, in addition to the above-mentioned driving mode of the gear and the circular rack 23, the principle of the ball screw can also be used to realize the reciprocating movement of the movable mold plate 21 in the vertical direction, and the ball screw has the characteristics of high precision, small friction loss and high transmission efficiency, which is conducive to improving the stability of the movable mold plate 21 during movement.
[0065] The bottom of the fixed plate 10 is provided with at least three fixed columns 100, and the bottom of each fixed column 100 is provided with an adjusting column 101, and the top end of the adjusting column 101 and the guide column 20 are movably provided with an adjusting nut 13, which is used to adjust the parallelism between the fixed plate 10 and the movable die plate 21.
[0066] It should be noted that the number of fixed columns 100 corresponds to the number of the above-mentioned support columns 11, both of which are four in this scheme. In order to further improve the precision of the low-pressure casting machine during casting, the parallelism between the fixed plate 10 and the movable die plate 21 can be adjusted before casting. Specifically, the bottom of the fixed column 100 is provided with an adjusting column 101, and the adjusting column 101 and the guide column 20 are provided with external threads (not shown in the drawing). By rotating the adjusting nut 13 on the adjusting column 101, the fixed column 100 is pushed to move in the vertical direction. When the worker adjusts the adjusting nut 13 on each adjusting column 101, the fixed plate 10 is in a horizontal position by moving the fixed column 100. At this time, the worker can adjust the adjusting nut 13 on the guide column 20, thereby ensuring that the movable die plate 21 is parallel to the fixed plate 10. The adjusting method is the same as described above, and will not be described here. That is, this scheme mainly adjusts the fixed plate 10 to a horizontal position in advance, and then adjusts the movable die plate 21 based on the horizontal fixed plate 10, thereby ensuring that the parallelism between the movable die plate 21 and the fixed plate 10 meets the required requirements, thereby improving the precision of the low-pressure casting machine.
[0067] The fixed plate 10 is provided with a second driving member 14 distributed in a ring shape, and the output end of the second driving member 14 faces outward from the workbench 1 and is connected with a connecting rod 15. The pressing plate 5 is movably arranged at a position close to the middle of the fixed plate 10, and the pressing plate 5 is connected with the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the output end of the second driving member 14.
[0068] As shown in Figure 4 , the second driving member 14 is reversely installed, that is, the output end of the second driving member 14 faces outward from the workbench 1. The connecting rod 15 of the output end is connected with the pressing plate 5 located at a position close to the middle of the fixed plate 10, so that there is a certain distance between the output end of the second driving member 14 and the pressing plate 5. The purpose of this design is to prevent heat from being transferred to the second driving member 14 during the forming of the workpiece, thereby ensuring the normal use of the second driving member 14, prolonging the service life, and improving the stability of the low-pressure casting machine.
[0069] Preferably, the fixed plate 10 and the movable die plate 21 can be provided with a mold clamping groove (not marked in the figure). In this way, the workpiece to be cast can be quickly sent to the mold clamping groove by an external trolley, realizing the rapid positioning and installation of the workpiece, and thereby improving the working efficiency of the low-pressure casting machine during casting.
[0070] The support column 11 is also provided with: a fixed seat 16, which is connected to the support column 11, and a rotating column 160 is movably arranged in the fixed seat 16 along the vertical direction; an L-shaped rotating arm 17, which is connected to the rotating column 160, and a tray 18 is provided at the end of the rotating arm 17 away from the fixed seat 16. When the rotating arm 17 rotates relative to the fixed seat 16, it is used to extend the tray 18 between the moving template 21 and the fixed plate 10, so that the tray 18 can pick up the formed workpiece; and a third driving member 19, which is arranged at the end of the rotating arm 17 near the rotating column 160, and the output end of the third driving member 19 is hinged to the fixed seat 16.
[0071] After the casting is completed in this low-pressure casting machine, the workpiece often remains at the bottom of the moving mold 21. During the movement of the moving mold 21, the formed workpiece is often easily damaged due to the large drop height. This solution provides a rotating arm 17 on the support column 11 that can rotate relative to the workpiece. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, since the output end of the third driving member 19 is hinged to the fixed base 16, when the third driving member 19 is driven, the rotating arm 17 rotates around the rotating column 160 along... Figure 5 Rotating clockwise causes the tray 18 to extend between the moving template 21 and the fixed plate 10, ensuring that the formed workpiece falls onto the tray 18. After the rotating arm 17 resets, the workpiece can be removed from the worktable 1. The L-shaped design of the rotating arm 17 saves space in the overall structure, meaning that the angle of rotation of the rotating arm 17 does not need to be too large to complete the workpiece retrieval, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0072] At least two supports 170 extend along both sides of the width of the end of the rotating arm 17 away from the fixed base 16. Each support 170 has a buffer spring 171 connected to both ends. The buffer springs 171 are distributed around the periphery of the tray 18, and the top of the buffer springs 171 is connected to the bottom of the tray 18.
[0073] To further prevent damage to the tray 18 when picking up workpieces, this solution also provides two supports 170 at the end of the rotating arm 17 away from the fixed seat 16. A buffer spring 171 is connected between the support 170 and the bottom of the tray 18 at the periphery. When the workpiece falls into the tray 18, the buffer spring 171 can provide a certain buffering force to the falling workpiece, preventing heavy workpieces from directly hitting the tray 18 and causing damage during the fall.
[0074] The lifting mechanism 7 includes: a base 70; several fourth drive components 71 and several turbine screw jacks 72 distributed around the periphery of the heat preservation furnace 6; a first transmission shaft 73 connecting two adjacent fourth drive components 71; a second transmission shaft 74 connecting the fourth drive component 71 and the turbine screw jack 72; and the turbine screw jack 72 being connected to the heat preservation furnace 6 via the second transmission shaft 74 to drive the heat preservation furnace 6 to move vertically up and down.
[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, during the driving process of the fourth driving component 71, the power is transmitted to the worm gear screw jack 72 through the first drive shaft 73 and the second drive shaft 74. Since the two sides of the heat preservation furnace 6 are located on both sides of the worm gear screw jack 72, the heat preservation furnace 6 can be lifted along the direction of the fixed plate 10 under the drive of the worm gear screw jack 72, so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the filling material or the heat preservation furnace 6. It should be noted that the working principle of the worm gear screw jack in this solution is similar to that of the ball screw, and will not be described in detail here.
[0076] The base 70 is also provided with: a slide rail 700 and a limiting block 701; a rotating wheel 60 is provided at the bottom of the heat preservation furnace 6, the rotating wheel 60 rolls against the slide rail 700; the limiting block 701 is located at both ends of the slide rail 700 and is used to limit the distance the heat preservation furnace 6 can move on the slide rail 700; a fifth driving member 702 is provided on the base 70, the output end of the fifth driving member 702 is connected to the heat preservation furnace 6, and the fifth driving member 702 is used to drive the heat preservation furnace 6 to move along the length direction of the slide rail 700; and a traction chain 703, one end of the traction chain 703 is connected to the base 70, and the other end of the traction chain 703 is connected to the heat preservation furnace 6.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the holding furnace 6 can move along the length of the slide rail 700 by means of the rotating wheel 60. In this way, after the worm gear screw jack drives the holding furnace 6 to descend, the holding furnace 6 can be moved out of the worktable 1 by the rolling of the rotating wheel 60 on the slide rail 700, so as to facilitate subsequent operations. In addition, the limit block 701 in this solution is mainly used to prevent the holding furnace 6 from accidentally slipping, effectively avoiding the safety hazards of the low-pressure casting machine and improving the safety of the production process. The driving force of the holding furnace 6 is provided by the fifth driving component 702 on the base 70. The fifth driving component 702 can also drive the holding furnace 6 to move on the slide rail 700 by means of the rotating wheel 60 through the cooperation between the motor and the ball screw. The traction chain 703 plays a guiding role in the movement of the holding furnace 6, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the low-pressure casting machine in operation.
