Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball casting production and manufacturing, and specifically to a casting machine for ball casting. Background Technology

[0002] Cast spheres are spheres manufactured by pouring molten metal into a mold. In the manufacturing process, molten metal is usually poured from a tank into a mold. In the original method, all of the above steps were done manually, which had a significant impact on worker safety. At the same time, the placement of the mold could not be completely precise, which affected the manufacturing process. Although existing production machines have replaced manual labor in casting and solved some of the safety issues, their ability to calibrate the mold position and accurately stop at the casting location is still limited.

[0003] Therefore, a casting machine for ball casting was designed to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention addresses the problems mentioned above by designing a casting machine for ball casting, which can replace manual labor in casting balls, minimize the dangers of the casting site for workers, make the mold more accurate in entering the casting location, and improve the quality and efficiency of casting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a casting machine for ball casting, comprising: a feeding platform, a driving device, a storage bin, a conveying device, a transfer device, and a funnel. The driving device is mounted on the feeding platform, the storage bin is mounted on the driving device, the conveying device is located in front of the feeding platform and below the storage bin, the conveying device has a notch located directly in front of the storage bin, the transfer device is located below the notch, and the funnel is fixedly connected to the conveying device and located directly in front of the storage bin.

[0006] In this manner, the drive device tilts the storage bucket to pour material, the conveying device transports the casting mold to the transfer device, the material is poured into the mold through the funnel, and then the transfer device rotates the casting mold and continues to transport the material.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving device includes a hydraulic cylinder and a support platform. Support legs are connected to both sides of the unloading platform, and the support platform is rotatably connected between the two support legs. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the support platform, and the other end is connected to the unloading platform. Driven by the hydraulic cylinder, the support platform can rotate around the support legs.

[0008] Furthermore, the support platform includes a fixing groove, a limiting block, and a fixing block. A non-through-hole snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the side of the storage bin. The fixing groove is vertically continuous on the side of the support platform. The fixing block has a stepped structure; one side of the fixing block is placed in the snap-fit ​​groove, and the other side of the fixing block is connected to the fixing groove. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the front end of the upper surface of the support platform, and the storage bin abuts against the limiting block. With one side of the fixing block fixed in the fixing groove and the other side snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove, the storage bin is pressed onto the support platform. Simultaneously, the limiting block precisely positions the storage bin on the support platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying device includes a roller conveyor table and a straightening device, the notch is located on the roller conveyor table, and the straightening device is connected to the roller conveyor table and located between the starting end of the roller conveyor table in the conveying direction and the notch.

[0010] Furthermore, the correction device includes a long plate and a bracket. There are two long plates, which are fixedly connected to the roller conveyor table in a "Y" shape. The inclined end of the long plate is placed on the roller conveyor table, and the vertical section of the long plate is connected to the side of the roller conveyor table through the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the correction device also includes a roller, which is rotatably connected at the bend where the inclined section and the vertical section of the long plate meet.

[0012] In this way, when the ball casting mold is placed on the roller conveyor table, it passes through the opening formed by two long plates. Through the rotation of the rollers, the ball casting mold can be accurately moved above the conveying device after passing through the rear half of the Y-shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the transfer device includes: a support platform, a cylinder, a lifting platform, a limiting baffle, a rotating platform, and a motor. The support platform is placed below the notch, the rotating platform is mounted on the support platform, the cylinder is mounted on the rotating platform, the output end of the cylinder is connected to the lifting platform, and the limiting baffle is connected to the upper part of the lifting platform.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating platform is equipped with gears, the bottom of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the gears, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the gears, and the two gears are meshed together.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive device, conveying device, and transmission device are all communicatively connected to the signal control cabinet.

[0016] In the above manner, the gear transmission causes the cylinder to rotate, the cylinder drives the lifting platform to rotate, and the casting mold on the lifting platform rotates. After the casting mold is blocked by the limit baffle, it cannot continue to move forward. After the casting is completed, the casting mold can continue to move forward by rotating.

[0017] The present invention also proposes a method for casting balls, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Pour the materials needed for casting into the storage bucket, and place the casting mold on the roller conveyor table; Step 2: Start the conveying device. The ball casting mold is transported by the rollers, passes through the straightening device, and is transported to the top of the notch. The cylinder lifts the ball casting mold to the bottom of the funnel. Step 3: The ball casting mold moves to the limit baffle, and the worker controls the drive device to make the storage bucket pour the material through the funnel into the funnel below; Step 4: After casting is completed, the rotating table drives the ball casting mold to rotate 180°, and then lowers it back to its original height. The ball casting mold then contacts the roller again and continues to be transported forward.

[0018] In summary, the casting machine for ball casting of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial technical effects: 1. The drive device in the casting machine for ball casting of the present invention enables the operator to control the machine away from the casting site, thereby reducing the safety threat to the operator; 2. The present invention provides a transfer device for a casting machine for casting balls, which enables accurate positioning of the casting ball mold and alignment of the casting ball mold with the funnel, resulting in better casting effect, while simultaneously rotating and transporting the casting ball mold; 3. The correction device of the present invention for a casting machine for casting balls enables the casting ball mold to be transported more accurately to the top of the transfer device during transportation, making the subsequent casting process more accurate.
