Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent casting, and in particular relates to an intelligent casting device based on robot-assisted enhanced cooling and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Sand casting is a process of making a sand mold of a casting using molding sand with corresponding characteristics, combining a sand core of the corresponding casting shape with the sand mold, taking out the sand core to obtain a sand mold shell, and then pouring the prepared characteristic metal solution to obtain the casting after cooling. The characteristics of sand casting are that the molding materials used are cheap and easy to obtain, the mold is easy to manufacture, and it is suitable for mass production of castings. Since the sand mold shell can withstand extremely high melting points and the surface has a certain degree of air permeability, the metal liquid is easy to fill during pouring, and thin-walled components can be formed. It is suitable for the preparation process of most components in the aerospace field and has a wide range of applications.
[0003] Counter-gravity casting is a casting method that allows liquid metal to fill the mold cavity and solidify under a certain pressure. The process flow is as follows: first, dry compressed gas is introduced into a closed insulation furnace, and the molten metal in the insulation furnace rises along the riser under gas pressure and enters the mold cavity through the gate. The gas pressure in the insulation furnace is maintained until the molten metal in the cavity is completely solidified to form a casting, and then the pressure in the insulation furnace is released to allow the unsolidified molten metal in the riser to flow back to the insulation furnace, and then the pressure of the clamping device on the top of the mold is released to take out the casting. The characteristics of counter-gravity casting are that the molten metal fills the mold smoothly during casting, which can reduce defects such as oxidation slag inclusions, and can also solidify under pressure, so that the interdendritic filling is good, which can reduce casting defects such as shrinkage cavities and shrinkage, and obtain a dense solidification structure.
[0004] Traditional sand casting is done by manual pouring in a sand box under gravity. It has a low level of digitization and intelligence, uncontrollable cooling rate, and poor casting quality stability.

The metal melt 4 can select a mixed metal melt of corresponding proportion according to actual needs, and an air intake channel 2 is opened on the side wall of the low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1 and located above the heat preservation furnace 3. Compressed gas is introduced into the low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1 through the air intake channel 2 to drive the metal melt 4 to move upward. A gate base 6 is arranged on the top of the low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1, and a thin-shell casting mold 7 is rotatably inverted on the top of the gate base 6. The thin-shell casting mold 7 and the metal melt 4 inside the casting mold are evenly and quickly cooled by rotation, and at the same time, the metal melt 4 inside the casting mold can be closely filled on the inner surface position of the casting mold under the action of centrifugal force to achieve the formation. The distribution of products is accurate and uniform. As one of the preferred embodiments, the thin-shell mold 7 can be inverted on the top of the gate base 6 by a manipulator or a transport rail with a clamping device. The interior of the holding furnace 3 is connected to a riser pipe 5, one end of the riser pipe 5 is located inside the holding furnace 3 and is connected to the molten metal 4, and the other end of the riser pipe 5 is located inside the gate base 6 and is connected to the internal cavity of the thin-shell mold 7. The compressed gas introduced into the low-pressure anti-gravity casting machine 1 can drive the molten metal 4 to rise from the inside of the holding furnace 3 to the inside of the thin-shell mold 7. To ensure the internal sealing, high-temperature resistant dynamic sealing rings and other sealing parts can be added between the thin-shell mold 7 and the gate base 6; an intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and an intelligent detection device combination 10 are arranged on the outside of the thin-shell mold 7, and the intelligent detection device combination 10 and the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 are coordinated to realize intelligent cooling of the thin-shell mold 7.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thin shell mold 7 in this embodiment is set in the form of a protrusion with a groove. The thin shell mold 7 in this embodiment uses a sand casting mold or an investment casting mold. The surface of the thin shell mold 7 is provided with a reinforcing rib structure 8, and the thin shell mold 7 with the reinforcing rib structure 8 on the surface is manufactured by a digital manufacturing method. The digital manufacturing method at least includes a digital additive manufacturing method and a digital CNC cutting method. Preferably, the thin shell mold 7 with the reinforcing rib structure 8 on the surface can be manufactured by moldless CNC cutting technology and / or 3D printing sand mold casting technology, wherein the 3D printing sand mold casting technology belongs to digital additive manufacturing, and the moldless CNC cutting belongs to the digital CNC cutting method, so as to realize the digitization of the thin shell mold processing and manufacturing process, complete the manufacture of the thin shell mold without the need for a sand box, a sand core, auxiliary tooling and materials, simplify the manufacturing process of the traditional mold, reduce the influence of human factors on the mold manufacturing process, and realize the full digitization of the thin shell mold manufacturing process.
[0028] In this embodiment, the cooling medium in the cooling nozzle of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 is selected from at least one of gas, liquid, gas-liquid mixture, gas-solid mixture or solid-liquid mixture; wherein the gas medium is selected from a mixture of at least one or more of water vapor, compressed air, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon, helium, krypton, and xenon; the liquid medium is selected from a mixture of at least one or more of water, oil, coolant, and liquid nitrogen; the solid particles are selected from a mixture of at least one or more of carbon, graphite, diamond, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, carbon nanotubes, graphene, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, gold, silver, copper, aluminum, magnesium, iron, and stainless steel to meet different cooling needs of users. And as a preference, the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 can perform real-time feedback adjustment on the adjustable parameters according to the detection results of the intelligent detection device combination 10, and the adjustable parameters of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 at least include nozzle angle, nozzle position, medium injection amount, and medium injection speed, so as to adjust different cooling parameters to achieve different cooling rates.
[0029] As a further preferred implementation of the present embodiment, among the adjustable parameters of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9, when the casting is locally sequentially cooled and solidified, the adjustment priority of the medium injection amount and the medium injection speed is higher than the adjustment priority of the nozzle position and the nozzle angle. This is because at this time, only the metal melt 4 in the same layer of the casting needs to be cooled and enhanced. Therefore, the cooling effect of the medium injection amount and the medium injection speed on the metal melt 4 inside the thin-shell casting 7 is much greater than the cooling effect of the nozzle angle and the nozzle position on the metal melt 4 inside the thin-shell casting 7; and when the subsequent solidified layer before the casting is re-melted, the adjustment priority of the nozzle position and the nozzle angle should be higher than the adjustment priority of the medium injection amount and the medium injection speed. This is because at this time, the cooling of the metal melt 4 in different layers of the casting needs to be enhanced, that is, it is necessary to focus on adjusting the upper and lower layer positions of the cooling nozzle. Therefore, at this time, the cooling effect of the cooling nozzle position and the nozzle angle on the metal melt 4 inside the thin-shell casting 7 is greater than the cooling effect of the medium injection amount and the medium injection speed on the metal melt 4 inside the thin-shell casting 7.
[0030] Preferably, the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 in this embodiment can perform the following adjustment actions according to the real-time monitoring results of the intelligent detection device combination 10: First, the temperature and distance of the thin-shell mold 7 are detected in real time from top to bottom through the intelligent detection device combination 10, and the cooling nozzle of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 is controlled to operate at the same time, and the medium injection amount and medium injection speed of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the distance between the cooling nozzle and the real-time cooling and solidification layer are adjusted according to the three-dimensional shape of the casting and the thin-shell mold and the real-time detection distance, until the cooling medium can evenly and comprehensively cover the side of the middle real-time cooling and solidification layer, and finally move downward in coordination with the intelligent detection device combination 10 to ensure that the metal melt 4 in the thin-shell mold 7 is cooled, enhanced and solidified sequentially from top to bottom layer by layer; Second, if the temperature of the preceding solidified layer of the thin shell casting mold 7 is detected in real time by the intelligent detection device combination 10 to be increased and higher than the preset temperature, the abnormal result is fed back to the control system, and the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 is controlled to move to the preceding solidified layer according to the real-time distance detection result of the intelligent detection device 10, and the nozzle position and nozzle angle of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 are adjusted so that the cooling nozzle can perform local secondary cooling enhancement on the re-melted part of the preceding solidified layer; Third, if the intelligent detection device combination 10 detects in real time that the temperature of the metal melt (4) inside the subsequent unsolidified layer drops below the preset temperature in advance, the abnormal result is fed back to the control system, and the control system sends a signal to increase the gas pressure in the low-pressure anti-gravity device 1, driving the metal melt 4 to rise to increase the temperature of the layer, while increasing the medium injection amount and medium injection speed of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9, thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the real-time cooling solidification layer.
[0031] In order to further achieve uniform and effective cooling process, multiple intelligent cooling nozzle robots 9 can be evenly arranged on the periphery of the thin-shell casting 7, and after the thin-shell casting 7 stops rotating, multiple intelligent cooling nozzle robots 9 work synchronously to complete the enhanced cooling process of the casting.
[0032] The intelligent detection device combination 10 in this embodiment includes at least a temperature detection module and a distance detection module. The temperature of the metal melt 4 inside the thin-shell casting mold 7 is detected in real time by the temperature detection module, and the current real-time distance of the temperature detection module relative to the thin-shell casting mold 7 is determined by the distance detection module.
[0033] The intelligent detection device combination 10 and the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 are clamped or installed on the guide rail by a manipulator to realize the synchronous horizontal and vertical movement of the intelligent detection device combination 10 following the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9. The intelligent detection device combination 10 follows the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 to synchronously perform horizontal and vertical movements to respectively detect the temperature of the metal melt 4 in the previous solidification layer, the intermediate real-time cooling and solidification layer and the subsequent unsolidified layer, control the intelligent cooling nozzle robot and the intelligent detection device combination to follow and move downward layer by layer, so as to realize the intelligent gradient sequential cooling and solidification of the thin shell casting. At the same time, according to the real-time detection situation of the intelligent detection device combination, the cooling part and cooling medium parameters of the intelligent cooling nozzle robot are adjusted by intelligent feedback to prevent unexpected conditions such as filling failure, solidification and shrinkage path blockage, insufficient solidification and shrinkage increase, casting scrapping, etc. caused by the re-melting of the previous solidification layer or the first solidification of the metal melt inside the subsequent unsolidified layer, so as to realize the intelligent detection and adjustment of the metal melt inside the thin shell casting and the intelligent cooling rate enhanced solidification.
[0034] [Method Example] like Figure 3-9 The control method of the intelligent casting device based on robot-assisted enhanced cooling in the device embodiment provided by the method embodiment of the present invention is shown, and includes the following steps: Step S1: Prepare a thin shell mold 7 with a reinforcing rib structure 8, and place a holding furnace 3 filled with a metal melt 4 in a sealed and pressurized low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1, insert a liquid riser 5 in the holding furnace 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown; Step S2: The thin shell mold 7 is rotatably inverted on the top of the gate base 6 of the low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1 and sealed, so that the interior of the thin shell mold 7 is connected to the riser pipe 5; an intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and an intelligent detection device combination 10 are installed around the thin shell mold 7, such as Figure 5 As shown; Step S3: Dry compressed gas is introduced into the low-pressure counter-gravity casting machine 1 through the air inlet channel 2. The air pressure causes the molten metal 4 in the holding furnace 3 to rise along the riser pipe 5 and enter the cavity of the thin shell casting mold 7 until the molten metal 4 fills the cavity. Figure 6 As shown; Step S4: Rotate the thin shell mold 7, maintain and increase the gas pressure, detect the temperature of the thin shell mold 7 and the metal melt 4 through the intelligent detection device combination 10, control the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 to work with the intelligent detection device combination 10, move layer by layer from top to bottom and implement intelligent feedback adjustment, and at the same time, the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 sprays cooling medium to accelerate the cooling of the metal melt 4 inside the thin shell mold 7, so that the metal melt 4 inside the thin shell mold 7 can be rapidly solidified from top to bottom, as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, the protruding parts and the concave parts of the thin shell casting mold 7 are sequentially recorded as the first layer to the fifth layer from top to bottom, that is, the first protruding part is the first layer, the first concave part is the second layer, and so on, including the following steps: Initially Figure 7 As shown in (a), the No. 1 intelligent detection device is placed on the top of the thin shell mold, the No. 2 intelligent detection device is placed next to the first layer of the thin shell mold, and the No. 3 intelligent detection device is placed next to the second layer of the thin shell mold; then the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the intelligent detection device combination 10 are controlled to cooperate and move to the lower layer; Then as Figure 7 As shown in (b), the No. 1 intelligent detection device is placed next to the first layer of the thin shell casting, the No. 2 intelligent detection device is placed next to the second layer of the thin shell casting, and the No. 3 intelligent detection device is placed next to the third layer of the thin shell casting; then the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the intelligent detection device combination 10 are controlled to cooperate and move to the lower layer; Then as Figure 7 As shown in (c), the No. 1 intelligent detection device is placed next to the second layer of the thin shell casting, the No. 2 intelligent detection device is placed next to the third layer of the thin shell casting, and the No. 3 intelligent detection device is placed next to the fourth layer of the thin shell casting; then the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the intelligent detection device combination 10 are controlled to cooperate and move to the lower layer; Again Figure 7 As shown in (d), the No. 1 intelligent detection device is placed next to the third layer of the thin shell casting, the No. 2 intelligent detection device is placed next to the fourth layer of the thin shell casting, and the No. 3 intelligent detection device is placed next to the fifth layer of the thin shell casting; then the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the intelligent detection device combination 10 are controlled to cooperate and move to the lower layer; Finally Figure 7 As shown in (e), the No. 1 intelligent detection device is placed beside the fourth layer of the thin shell casting, the No. 2 intelligent detection device is placed beside the fifth layer of the thin shell casting, and the No. 3 intelligent detection device is placed at the bottom of the thin shell casting; Step S5: After the molten metal 4 in the thin shell mold 7 is completely solidified, the rotation of the thin shell mold 7 is stopped, the intelligent cooling nozzle robot 9 and the intelligent detection device assembly 10 are removed, and the air is released and the pressure is reduced at the same time, so that the molten metal 4 in the riser tube 5 refluxes. Figure 8 As shown; Step S6: Remove the thin shell mold 7 containing the casting, obtain the casting, complete the production cycle, and return the machine to the original position. Fig. 9 shown.
[0035] The above-mentioned intelligent casting device and control method can also be applied to gravity casting, by applying intelligent cooling rate enhancement and step-by-step cooling to the gravity casting mold from bottom to top through a robot 9 with an intelligent cooling nozzle and an intelligent detection device combination 10.
