Description

Technical Field

[0002] The rotor body of the screw compressor has a thick wall, and the middle ring has a small processing hole. The hole diameter is small and long, and the aspect ratio is greater than 10. In sand casting, it belongs to the hole diameter of super sand casting, which is very difficult to cast. In addition, the connection surface between the casting hole and the outside is extremely small, and the ratio of the surface area inside the hole to the heat dissipation area of ​​the two ends of the hole is extremely large. The heat dissipation condition in the hole is poor, the solidification in the hole is late, and the shrinkage is serious. Generally, graphite chilled iron is used instead of sand core to bring out the casting hole structure, while affecting the solidification temperature field and strengthening the cooling in the hole. However, due to the stone The lubricity and softness of the ink make it difficult to clean after casting. It cannot be directly polished and can only be removed bit by bit. The cleaning efficiency is low, and it may even be scrapped if it cannot be cleaned. Or resin sand is used to make the core. When making the core, a core iron is placed in the middle, but the position of the core iron is not fixed. During the pouring process, the core iron expands due to heat, causing the core iron to deform together with the sand core. The position of the core iron affects the deviation of the hole size and the quality of the casting around the hole. Finally, the casting is scrapped due to the deformation of the hole.
