Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of casting, in particular to flange casting equipment and a casting process for avoiding crack defects. Background Art

[0002] Flange is a component that connects pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment. It is usually used to seal and support piping systems. Nowadays, centrifugal casting machines, die casting machines, sand casting equipment and investment casting equipment are widely used to produce flanges.

[0003] The technical solution currently adopted by the equipment for producing flanges by centrifugal casting machines can refer to the patent document "CN107088651A Multi-piece Centrifugal Casting Flange Mold", but in the actual working process, since most cooling components can only cool a certain area of ​​the flange, the flange may sometimes produce crack defects due to uneven cooling shrinkage during the manufacturing process; in addition, the existing centrifugal casting machine usually controls the thickness of the flange by means of the pouring amount of molten metal and the speed of the centrifuge, but this control method is very unstable and the thickness of the flange often deviates. If a retaining structure is set when designing the mold, although the production accuracy of the flange can be improved, the application range of the mold is reduced, which is not conducive to mass production of flanges of different specifications. Summary of the invention

Compared with the cooling components used in current casting equipment, the present invention can synchronously cool the upper and lower sides of the flange as well as the inner wall and the outer wall to prevent the cooling rate of the flange close to the cooling component from being greater than the cooling rate of the flange away from the cooling component, thereby avoiding crack defects caused by uneven shrinkage during flange cooling.

[0006] Furthermore, an annular air inlet groove is provided at the lower end of the turntable, and the annular air inlet groove is connected with the air inlet end of the third cooling groove through the second air guide groove, and the air outlet end of the third cooling groove is connected with the air inlet end of the first cooling groove.

When the sealing spring rod moves to above the second exhaust hole, the movable cover will be located at the upper end of the first fixed cover. At this time, several groups of first exhaust holes are no longer blocked, and the cold air will flow along the second exhaust holes and several groups of first exhaust holes.

When the smelted molten metal is poured into the mold 72, the molten metal will be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the mold 72 under the action of centrifugal force, and gradually form the required flange shape. When the staff needs to cool the flange, the cooling system 331 is used to transport cold air into the annular air inlet groove 741, and finally ejected from the exhaust assembly 75. During the flow, the cold air will synchronously cool the upper and lower sides of the flange and the inner and outer wall surfaces to avoid crack defects caused by uneven shrinkage when the flange is cooled. When the cooling of the flange is completed, the motor 5 and the cooling system 331 are turned off, and then the staff takes out the feed rack 4, the upper end cover 73, and the flange from the installation tube 3 in turn.
