A lifting motor 121 is fixedly installed on the top platform 114, and a gear 120 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the lifting motor 121. A rack 119 is also slidably installed in a rectangular through hole opened on the top platform 114. The rack 119 meshes with the gear 120 for transmission, and the toggle block 123 is fixed on the rack 119.

[0018] The working principle of the internal defect detection equipment for metal part casting disclosed in the present invention is as follows: the initial position of the cart plate 108 is on the external slide rail 101, the casting that needs to be detected for defects is placed on the cart plate 108, and then the transmission motor 103 is controlled, the transmission motor 103 drives the transmission belt 104 to rotate, the transmission belt 104 drives the pulling frame 106 to slide on the guide sliding rod 105, and then the push-pull screw 107 on the pulling frame 106 pushes the cart plate 108 from the external slide rail 101 to the internal slide rail 112. Since the internal slide rail 112 is set in the bottom sealing shell 126, at this time, the steel plate 135 is below the cart plate 108 and the casting. Then the telescopic rod of the lifting electric cylinder 138 is controlled, and the lifting electric cylinder 138 lifts up the lifting frame 136 and the steel plate 135, so that the upper surface of the steel plate 135 is higher than the upper surface of the cart plate 108, and the casting on the cart plate 108 is lifted, so that the casting is separated from the cart plate 108. At this time, the weight of the casting can be measured by the pressure sensor.

[0019] Control the lifting motor 121. The output shaft of the lifting motor 121 drives the gear 120 to rotate. The gear 120 drives the rack 119 to move linearly. The rack 119 drives the lifting bar 117 to move linearly through the toggle block 123, that is, the lifting bar 117 is allowed to slide on the top platform 114. The lifting bar 117 will drive the sealing buckle cover 118 to move, so that the sealing buckle cover 118 is buckled with the bottom sealing shell 126, and then start the vacuum pump 127. The vacuum pump 127 makes the space formed by the sealing buckle cover 118 and the bottom sealing shell 126 in a vacuum state. The air pressure changes inside the sealing buckle cover 118 can be observed through the barometer 116, and then the start and stop of the vacuum pump 127 can be controlled (a one-way valve is provided at the connection between the vacuum pump 127 and the bottom sealing shell 126). During this process, valve 129 is in a closed state, and then the vacuum pump 127 is stopped and valve 129 is opened. Under the action of the air pressure difference, external air will enter the space inside the bottom sealing shell 126 and the limit plate 128 through the flow meter 130 and valve 129. Since the casting is inside the sealing buckle cover 118 and the bottom sealing shell 126, the volume inside the sealing buckle cover 118 and the bottom sealing shell 126 will decrease (the initial volume is known because the internal components are fixed inside and have not changed). The volume of the gas entering the internal space of the elastic pad 125 and the sealing buckle cover 118 can be known through the flow meter 130. At this time, the volume of the casting can be known by subtracting the measured volume from the initial volume. This method does not need to consider the shape type of the casting. The density of the casting can be calculated through the volume and weight of the casting. If there is a defective steam drum inside the casting during the casting process, it will affect the density of the casting, so it can be known whether there are defects inside the casting.

[0020] Finally, the lifting motor 121 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, and the lifting motor 121 drives the gear 120 to rotate, and the gear 120 drives the rack 119 to move upward. The rack 119 will drive the lifting bar 117 to move upward through the toggle block 123, thereby lifting the sealing buckle cover 118, so that the sealing buckle cover 118 is separated from the bottom sealing shell 126. When the clamping column 124 moves to contact the inner wall of the rectangular through hole opened in the top platform 114 (enters the rectangular through hole), the lifting motor 121 is stopped. Under the action of gravity, the lifting bar 117 will tend to move downward. At this time, the clamping column 124 will be subjected to the friction force from the top platform 114 and will be upward. Therefore, the inclined surface of the trapezoidal limiting groove 122 and the rectangular through hole of the top platform 114 will jam the clamping column 124, thereby preventing the lifting bar 117 from falling, thereby preventing the sealing buckle cover 118 from falling, and there is no need to keep the lifting motor 121 in the started state. When the lifting bar 117 moves downward, the toggle block 123 on the rack 119 will push down the stuck post 124, thereby driving the lifting bar 117 to move.

[0021] The lifting electric cylinder 138 is controlled to lower the steel plate 135 to the lowest position, so that the casting falls back onto the cart plate 108. Finally, the push-pull screw 107 on the pulling frame 106 is controlled to move to the position of the threaded hole 109 (when the sealing buckle cover 118 and the bottom sealing shell 126 are closed, the pull bar 117 needs to be pulled out), and then the locking motor 111 is controlled. The output shaft of the locking motor 111 drives the push-pull screw 107 to rotate, and the two push-pull screws are rotated through the synchronous chain 110. The pulling screw 107 rotates at the same time, and the rotation of the push-pull screw 107 cooperates with the transmission belt bracket 102 to drive the axial movement of the push-pull screw 107, screwing the push-pull screw 107 into the threaded hole 109, and then through the transmission belt bracket 102, driving the pulling frame 106 to move. At this time, the push-pull screw 107 and the trolley plate 108 are fixed in a fixed state, and the trolley plate 108 is pulled from the inner slide rail 112 to the outer slide rail 101, and then the casting after inspection can be taken away.
