The sand falling hopper 1 is in the shape of a flat quadrangular pyramid, and two quadrangular pyramid-shaped hollow chambers are provided therein, and filtering strips 101 are provided on the upper part of the two hollow chambers, and sand discharge holes 102 are provided at the bottom of the two hollow chambers. The lower output end of the cyclone processor 5 is connected to the input end of another cyclone processor 5 through another sand suction hopper 3 and a suction pipe. The two cyclone processors 5 are arranged vertically side by side, and the dust collector air duct 6 on the top is connected. The lower output end of the other cyclone processor 5 is connected to the upper end of the sand warehouse 8 through a bucket elevator 7. The lower part of the sand warehouse 8 is connected to a screw conveyor 9, and the output port of the screw conveyor 9 is connected to the inner cavity of the lost foam sand box 11 installed on the three-dimensional vibration table 10.
[0035] Preferably, the cyclone processor 5 includes a main body installed on a bracket 56 to form a conical inner cavity 51, the main body is provided with a spiral tube 52 connected to the conical inner cavity 51, the spiral tube 52 is connected to the straw through a pipe mouth 53, a sand outlet 55 is provided at the lower end of the main body, the sand outlet 55 is provided in the inner cavity with a connecting tube 54 connected to the upper surface of the spiral tube 52, specifically, 7 connecting tubes 54 are provided, and the multiple connecting ports on the surface of the spiral tube 52 are evenly distributed in a fan shape on the surface of the spiral tube 52; the vertical cross-section of the spiral tube 52 is a hollow square shape, and the connection between the spiral tube 52 and the pipe mouth 53 is in an involute shape.
[0036] When working, the function of the lost foam casting cyclone sand processing equipment is to physically cool down the buried box filling, remove impurities and recycle them. At present, the buried box materials used by manufacturers are mainly pearl sand, quartz sand, olive sand, etc. In the production process, the buried box sand is sucked out of the air in the sand box by a vacuum pump to harden the sand in the sand box under negative pressure (to achieve the purpose of molding), and then the molten steel is injected into the mold cavity through the gate. When the casting is cooled to the process temperature, the box is turned over. At this time, the temperature of the buried box sand exceeds 120℃, and locally exceeds 250℃. The buried box sand flows into the vibrating screen 2 through the sand falling hopper 1, and the large particles enter the material barrel through the screen composed of ribs 101 on the upper layer of the vibrating screen 2, and the buried box sand and fine dust enter the sand suction hopper 3. The first-stage cyclone sucks the buried sand and dust in the sand suction hopper 3 into the barrel of the cyclone processor 5. The buried sand falls into the inner cavity 51 of the cone inside the cyclone cone after cyclone processing. The sand outlet 55 at the bottom of the inner cavity 51 of the cone flows into the second-stage sand suction hopper 3 through a pipeline, and the fine dust enters the dust collector air duct 6 through the cyclone outlet pipeline. At this time, the sand temperature of the second-stage sand suction hopper 3 does not meet the requirements for reuse. The second-stage cyclone sucks the sand in the sand suction hopper 3 again into another cyclone processor 5 for further processing. At this time, the clean sand that has been processed and the temperature reaches room temperature flows into the bucket elevator 7 through the pipeline. The bucket elevator 7 lifts the sand to the sand storage 8 for storage. The operator transports the sand to the lost foam sand box 11 on the three-dimensional vibration table 10 through the screw conveyor 9 at the bottom of the sand storage 8, and packs it into the box for pouring again, and the cycle is repeated.
