Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting modeling, and in particular to a 3D additive material molding device. Background Art
[0002] 3D additive material molding technology is also known as 3D printing technology. 3D additive material molding technology is also widely used in sand casting. Sand casting is a casting method that uses sand as a molding material to produce castings. A 3D additive material molding device can be used to manufacture sand molds. The sand is bonded into the desired shape by spraying adhesive layer by layer through the 3D additive material molding device, and then degreasing and sintering are performed to finally obtain a sand mold with certain mechanical properties. Compared with traditional casting processes, this technology can greatly shorten the product development cycle, reduce costs, and can produce complex geometric shapes.
[0003] As one of the important parts of the 3D additive material molding device, the sand box is generally equipped with multiple sand boxes. When one of the sand boxes is finished printing, another empty sand box will be transported to the printing device to improve the printing efficiency. After printing, the sand box will be cleaned to remove the unsolidified sand. The cleaned sand will be mixed with new sand for reuse.
[0004] However, in the process of implementing relevant technical solutions, it was found that at least the following technical problems exist: Generally, sand cleaning is to place a negative pressure tube for sand suction in the sand box to suck the sand in the sand box. At present, the sand box is generally large, and multiple sand molds will be printed in the sand box at the same time. This method of sucking unsolidified sand has a low suction efficiency. In addition, since the newly formed sand mold has not yet been degreased and sintered, it is relatively fragile. When the suction tube is near the sand mold, the negative pressure generated during the suction process will inevitably damage the sand mold. Summary of the invention

The box body 221 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and is arranged horizontally. The box body 221 is inserted into the mounting hole 211, and the length direction of the box body 221 located in the mounting hole 211 is consistent with the length direction of the box body 21. In the sand moving state, a part of the sand moving box 22 is located in the inner cavity of the box body 21, and the other part is located outside the box body 21. The inner wall of the box body 21 is provided with a side groove 212 along the edge of the mounting hole 211. The edge of the side plate of the box body 221 located in the inner cavity of the box body 21 is formed with a sealing edge 2211. The sealing edge 2211 is parallel to the side wall of the box body 21 with the mounting hole 211. When the sand moving box 22 finishes moving sand, the box body 221 is pushed out of the box body 21, and finally the sealing edge 2211 on the box body 221 is fitted in the side groove 212 on the inner wall of the box body 21, so that the side wall of the inner cavity of the box body 21 is flat, so as to ensure the flatness of the sand laid in the box body 21.

[0027] When the box body 221 moves into the box body 21, the moving column 2262 is moved upward so that the waist-shaped flange 2263 is above the limiting edge 2212, so that the limiting edge 2212 can be attached to the outer wall of the box body 21. When the sand is moved, the box body 221 is moved outward so that the spacing between the limiting edge 2212 and the outer wall of the box body 21 is greater than the width of the waist-shaped flange 2263, and then the moving column 2262 is moved downward. Move so that the waist-shaped flange 2263 is located between the limiting edge 2212 and the outer wall of the box body 21, and then rotate the moving column 2262 to use the waist-shaped flange 2263 to gradually separate the limiting edge 2212 from the outer wall of the box body 21, until the sealing edge 2211 of the box body 221 located in the inner cavity of the box body 21 fits in the edge groove 212 of the inner wall of the box body 21, and then engage the pawl 2265 on the ratchet 2264 to lock the box body 221.

The moving seat 2244 is sleeved on the light rod 2242, and a connecting column 22441 is connected between the moving seat 2244 and the moving cylinder 222, and the connecting column 22441 is located below the connecting column 1 22431. The driving motor 1 2245 is installed on the outer wall of the box body 221, and the driving motor 1 2245 drives the screw rod 2241 to rotate through gear transmission.
[0031] When the driving motor 2245 is started, the driving motor 2245 drives the screw rod 2241 to rotate, the screw rod 2241 drives the nut seat 2243 to move, and the nut seat 2243 drives the moving cylinder 222 to move, so that the moving cylinder 222 can be moved out of the box body 221 or put into the box body 221.
[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, the driving mechanism 225 includes a gear 1 2251, a gear support plate 2252, a gear 2 253, a gear 3 2254, a worm wheel 2255, a worm 2256, a driving rod 2257 and a driving motor 2 2258.

In addition, when the translation When the mechanism 224 drives the moving cylinder 222 to move, since the driving rod 2257 is rotatably set on the moving cylinder 222, the movement of the moving cylinder 222 will drive the driving rod 2257 to move, and the support rod 22551 used to install the worm gear 2255 is also connected to the connecting column 22431, and the connecting column 22431 is fixed on the moving cylinder 222, so that the worm gear 2255 also moves synchronously with the moving cylinder 222. Therefore, when the moving cylinder 222 moves, the driving mechanism 225 also moves synchronously.
[0034] This application can explain its functional principle through the following operation methods:
[0035] When the printing of the molding chamber 1 in the sand box 2 is completed, the conveying track 3 moves the sand box 2 out of the molding chamber 1, and then moves the empty sand box 2 into the molding chamber 1 for printing. Then, the sand box 2 moved out of the molding chamber 1 is cleaned to remove the uncured sand from the sand box 2.
[0036] Before cleaning the sand, release the lock on the box body 221 by the lock box mechanism 226, so that the box body 221 can move into the box body 21, and the box body 221 is pushed into the box body 21 to continue moving, so that the limiting edge 2212 is finally attached to the outer wall of the box body 21, and the box body 221 is pushed to the preset position, and then the translation mechanism 224 is started, and the translation mechanism 224 is used to move the moving cylinder 222 in the box body 221 into the box body 21, and the unsolidified sand in the sand box 2 can enter the moving cylinder 222 through the sand inlet hole 2221, and the sand entering the moving cylinder 222 will enter the box body 221 under the step-by-step transportation of the spiral blade 2232, and the spiral blade 2232 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 225.
[0037] A conveying hose with negative pressure can be connected below the discharge inclined pipe 227, and the conveying hose is connected to the agitator of new and old sand, so that the sand entering into the box body 221 can flow into the agitator of new and old sand.
[0038] After the sand cleaning is completed, the moving cylinder 222 is first collected into the box body 221 by using the translation mechanism 224, and then the box body 221 is pushed out of the box body 21, and the box locking mechanism 226 is used to lock the box body 221, and finally the sealing edge 2211 on the box body 221 fits in the edge groove 212 on the inner wall of the box body 21, so that the side wall of the inner cavity of the box body 21 is flat, so as to ensure the flatness of the sand laid in the box body 21.
[0039] Before cleaning the sand, you can observe the height of the sand in the sand box 2, first push the box body 221 closest to the top layer of sand along the height direction of the box body 21 into the box body 21, and then as the height of the sand in the box body 21 decreases, push the box body 221 in the vertical direction of the box body 21 into the box body 21 step by step, so that the sand can be gradually cleaned from top to bottom, and the sand in the box body 21 can be prevented from collapsing and causing impact on the printed sand mold, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the sand mold.
[0040] As a result, the sand can be cleaned synchronously around the box body 21, which improves the efficiency of removing the unsolidified sand from the sand box 2, and does not allow the cleaning pipe with negative pressure to directly act on the printed sand mold, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the sand mold during the sand cleaning process.
