AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, residual core sand accumulates around the spigot retainer during the annealing process of cast pipe, affecting the rotation of the cast pipe, increasing the rotation resistance of the support roller, and even causing the support roller to tip over and the cast pipe to deform. Moreover, the cleaning process requires manual operation, which is physically demanding and subject to high temperatures.
Sand leakage holes and channels are set around the insertion stop wheel. The residual core sand is filtered by fine mesh steel grating. The residual core sand is guided to the outside of the trolley through the sand leakage channels. The cleaning is automated by using operating rods and collection devices, avoiding high temperature exposure and manual operation.
It effectively prevents the accumulation of residual core sand, ensures the quality of cast pipes, improves cleaning efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of operators, avoids high temperature injuries, and reduces production risks.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cast pipe annealing process, and particularly relates to a method for cleaning residual core sand of an annealing furnace trolley. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, when producing ductile cast iron pipes, the cast pipes need to be annealed in an annealing furnace. The cast pipes are placed on the supporting wheel set of the trolley and are axially blocked by the plug-in blocking wheels at the front and rear ends of the cast pipes. Since a certain amount of residual core sand exists in the cast pipes during the casting process, when the cast pipes slowly rotate with the supporting wheel set, the residual core sand in the cast pipes falls into the surroundings of the plug-in blocking wheels. The long-term accumulation of the residual core sand affects the rotating function of the blocking wheels. If the residual core sand is not cleaned in time, the cast pipes will be deformed, and even if the residual core sand is accumulated too much, it will fall into the supporting wheels at the lower part of the annealing furnace, increasing the rotating resistance of the supporting wheels and affecting the rotation of the cast pipes, and even causing the floating wheels on the supporting wheels to be unevenly stressed and to be tilted, the cast pipes to be out of control and scrapped, and the heat-resistant cotton in the annealing furnace chamber to be damaged, resulting in a stop of production and a serious impact on the production efficiency. The current cleaning method is that an operator stands on the support beside the annealing furnace trolley and uses an iron scraper to scrape the residual core sand into a garbage chute. The operator has to endure the residual gas smell and be roasted by the high temperature of the annealing trolley, and a lot of physical strength is consumed. Therefore, there is a need for a method for cleaning the residual core sand of the annealing furnace trolley, which can prevent the accumulation of residual core sand and avoid the roasting of the operator by high temperature.

[0011] Further improvement of the technical scheme of the present application is that in step S5, a plurality of pull rings are arranged circumferentially on the collecting device, and the pulling end of the operating rod is provided with a metal hook capable of hooking the pull ring.
[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the present application has the following technical progress: the sand leakage hole and the sand leakage passage matched with each other arranged around the plug-in stop wheel can effectively prevent the accumulation of residual core sand around the plug-in stop wheel during the annealing process of the casting pipe, ensure that the plug-in stop wheel is not damaged, ensure the quality of the casting pipe, avoid the high-temperature roasting of the operator, and improve the efficiency and effect of cleaning the residual core sand.
