[0002] The lost foam casting process is a relatively mature process. Usually, the lost foam is placed in the sand and needs to be connected with a runner. The molten iron poured vertically is transferred horizontally into the lost foam through the runner to melt the lost foam. After the molten iron is cooled, it becomes the shape of the lost foam. The runner is also melted when the molten iron is poured.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 In the casting process, the runner system includes a sprue 7 and a cross runner 8. The lower end of the sprue 7 is closed, and the upper end is used to communicate with the pouring cup. The lower end of the side wall of the sprue 7 is symmetrically provided with an inner joint 71. The cross runner 8 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sprue. An external pipe 81 is arranged at one end of the cross runner close to the sprue, and the inner joint 71 is plugged into the external pipe 81. When the runner system is connected and assembled today, the inner joint 71 is docked with the external pipe 81.

When the inner joint passes through the laser sensor emitting part and the laser sensor receiving part, the inner joint blocks the laser light emitted by the laser sensor emitting part, and the processor generates a time t for the inner joint to block the laser light.

[0018] The distance between the two ends of the inner joints facing each other is L, the outer diameter of the inner joint is D, the angle between the axial direction of the inner joint and the width direction of the workbench is α, and the above L and D are recorded into the processor;

Keep the inner joint and the brushing assembly coaxial, drive the two brushing assemblies toward each other through the driving mechanism, and when the brushing assembly contacts the peripheral surface of the inner joint, glue is applied to the outer wall of the inner joint. After the glue is applied, the two brushing assemblies are driven away from each other through the driving mechanism, so that the sprue is easily removed from the workbench. Using machinery instead of manual labor to apply glue reduces labor intensity and improves glue application efficiency.

[0030] 2. Through the setting of the driving component, the two sliding plates can be controlled to move synchronously in the center. The movement of the sliding plate drives the movement of the connecting vertical plate, and the movement of the connecting vertical plate drives the painting component, so that the two painting components can move synchronously in the center to ensure that the glue coating on the internal joints on both sides of the straight runner is uniform.

After the glue is applied, the two brush assemblies 4 are driven away from each other by the driving mechanism 5, so that the sprue 7 can be removed from the workbench 1.

[0051] S6 , the rotating motor 62 receives the electrical signal from the processor 151 and rotates a corresponding angle according to the unique value of α to achieve deflection correction of the sprue 7 .

[0052] In this way, by deflecting and correcting the straight runner 7, the axial direction of the inner joint 71 is ensured to be consistent with the width direction of the fixed frame 3, thereby ensuring the position alignment of the inner joint 71 and the brushing component 4, avoiding interference with the movement of the brushing component 4, and at the same time improving the uniformity of the glue coating on the outer wall of the inner joint 71.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The driving assembly 52 includes a movable bar 521 and vertical racks 522 fixed on both sides of the movable bar 521. The movable bar 521 is slidably arranged on the fixed frame 3 in the vertical direction.
