[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] The pouring system for low pressure casting provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the pouring of aluminum alloy castings, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown,
[0049] The runner 10 includes a plurality of horizontal runners 11, a plurality of slit runners 12 and at least one group of liquid inlet runners 13; the plurality of horizontal runners 11 are evenly spaced from bottom to top, and adjacent horizontal runners 11 are connected by a group of slit runners 12;
[0050] The first end of the slot runner 12 at the top is connected to the horizontal runner 11 at the top, and the second end is provided with a riser 15; the number of groups of slot runners 12 is equal to the number of horizontal runners 11, and each slot runner 12 is provided with a pouring part 14 connected to the casting cavity 40;
[0051] The liquid inlet runner 13 includes a vertical runner 131 and a plurality of connecting runners 132, the number of connecting runners 132 corresponds to the number of horizontal runners 11; one end of each connecting runner 132 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the vertical runner 131, and the other end is connected to the corresponding horizontal runner 11; the liquid inlet end of the vertical runner 131 is used to connect to the pouring port;
[0052] The intercepting device 20 has a number corresponding to the number of the connecting runners 132, and each connecting runner 132 is provided with a corresponding intercepting device 20;
[0053] A control unit 30, the control unit 30 is used to control the closing of each intercepting device 20, so that each intercepting device 20 is closed from bottom to bottom during the pouring process, so that after each horizontal runner 11 is filled with molten metal, no more molten metal flows in from bottom to top;
[0054] Among them, when any horizontal runner 11 located above the lowest horizontal runner 11 is filled with molten metal, the shut-off device 20 corresponding to the adjacent horizontal runner 11 below is controlled to close by the control unit 30; when the riser 15 is filled with molten metal, the control unit 30 controls the last shut-off device 20 to close to complete the pouring process.
[0055] In the above scheme, the basic principle of the pouring process is that when pouring starts, all the shut-off devices 20 are opened, and when the molten metal flows from the pouring port through the vertical runner 131, the connecting runner 132, the horizontal runner 11 and the gap runner 12 in sequence, and finally fills the casting cavity 40 from the pouring part 14, the flow direction of the molten metal is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the arrow; during the above-mentioned pouring process, the control unit 30 controls the shut-off device 20 arranged on the connecting runner 132 (to close it), so that the shut-off device 20 is closed from bottom to top in sequence, so that the casting cavity 40 is regularly filled from bottom to top (to prevent the gate area at the bottom of the casting cavity from being flushed by the high-temperature molten metal for a long time), and then the solidification process of the casting cavity 40 is regularly solidified from bottom to top, avoiding the formation of local overheating areas during the solidification process of the casting, thereby avoiding the occurrence of defects such as looseness, segregation and even thermal cracking.
[0056] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each group of slit runners 12 includes a plurality of sub-slit runners 121, and the plurality of sub-slit runners 121 are arranged circumferentially around the casting cavity 40, and each sub-slit runner 121 is provided with a pouring portion 14. In the present technical solution, by providing a plurality of sub-slit runners 121, the casting cavity 40 can be filled at multiple angles, so that it is heated and solidified uniformly, and further porosity, segregation and even thermal cracking defects after solidification can be avoided.
[0057] Optimize the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sub-slit runner 121 in one group of slot runners 12 is staggered with the projection of the sub-slit runner 121 in the adjacent group of slot runners 12 in the vertical direction. This arrangement avoids the sub-slit runners 121 in each group from being connected in a straight line in the vertical direction, which causes the metal liquid to flow faster and thus destroy the sand mold. It also allows the liquid to flow evenly into each part of the casting cavity 40, and can also compensate for the shrinkage of the casting solidification process below, so as to obtain better metallurgical quality.
[0058] The above technical solution is optimized, the number of sub-slit runners 121 is four, and the angle between adjacent sub-slit runners 121 is 90 degrees, so that the casting cavity 40 is evenly filled with liquid from four directions, which is beneficial to the filling of the casting cavity 40 and the solidification of the casting 50.
[0059] Optimize the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 As shown, the height of the pouring portion 14 is equal to the height of the sub-gap runner 121, which can allow the casting cavity 40 to be quickly filled and avoid excessive flow of molten metal, which would damage the sand mold.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, the horizontal runner 11 is in the shape of a circular ring, which is conducive to the filling of the casting cavity 40. However, in actual industrial applications, the specific shape of the horizontal runner 11 can be adjusted according to the shape of the casting cavity 40, and there is no limitation on this.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 4a-4b As shown, the shutoff device 20 includes a shutoff valve 21 and a motor 22;
[0062] The shut-off valve 21 is arranged on the connecting runner 132, and the rotary switch of the shut-off valve 21 is connected to the motor 22. The motor 22 receives and executes the instructions of the control unit 30 to control the closing of the shut-off valve 21. In the present technical solution, the shut-off device 20 is closed in sequence by controlling the shut-off valve 21; in addition, the control unit 30 can also issue instructions to control the opening of the shut-off valve 21 as needed.
[0063] Optimize the above technical solutions, such as Figure 4a As shown, the shut-off valve 21 includes: a shut-off valve cover 211, a hole core 212, a connecting rod 213 and a driven wheel 214:
[0064] The shut-off valve cover 211 has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet;
[0065] The hole core 212 is located on the flow channel formed between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet.
[0066] The hole core 212 is located on the flow channel formed between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, and the hole core 212 is connected to the driven wheel 214 located outside the shut-off valve cover 211 through the connecting rod 213. The motor 22 controls the rotation of the hole core 212 through the driven wheel 214 to control the flow and disconnection of the flow channel. In this technical solution, when the motor 22 receives and executes the instructions of the control unit 30, the motor 22 controls the disconnection of the flow channel through the driven wheel 214 to achieve the closure of the shut-off valve 21.
[0067] Optimize the above technical solutions, such as Figure 4a-4c As shown, the hole core 212 is composed of a round iron ball or steel ball with a central through hole, and a positioning rod 215 is installed below the hole core 212 for positioning in the sand mold; the shut-off valve cover 211 is composed of a left cover and a right cover, and the left cover and the right cover are respectively installed on the semicircular structure on both sides of the hole core 212, with a through hole reserved on the top for the connecting rod 213 to pass through, and a through hole reserved on the bottom for the positioning rod 215 to insert; the left cover and the right cover are respectively reserved with a cover through hole with the same inner diameter as the central through hole of the hole core 212 (that is, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are the cover through holes) to facilitate the passage of molten metal.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, the control unit 30 includes: a controller 31 and a plurality of groups of signal lines 32;
[0069] The signal line 32 includes a first wire and a second wire, and the first end of the first wire and the first end of the second wire of the signal line 32 are both connected to the controller 31; the second end of the first wire and the second end of the second wire constitute a liquid contact end, and the second end of the first wire and the second end of the second wire are arranged at a distance, so that when the horizontal runner 11 or the riser 15 is preset and the horizontal runner 11 or the riser 15 is not filled with molten metal, the second end of the first wire and the second end of the second wire are disconnected and not connected;
[0070] The liquid receiving ends of each group of signal lines 32 are respectively preset in each horizontal runner 11 located above the lowest horizontal runner 11; when the horizontal runner 11 with the liquid receiving end preset is filled with molten metal, a loop is formed between the first wire, the second wire and the controller 31, and the controller 31 receives the signal that the horizontal runner 11 is full of molten metal, thereby controlling the shutoff device 20 corresponding to the adjacent lower horizontal runner 11 to be closed;
[0071] The liquid contact ends of the top group of signal wires 32 are preset in the riser 15. When the riser 15 is filled with molten metal, a loop is formed between the first wire, the second wire and the controller 31. The controller receives the signal that the riser 15 is full of molten metal, thereby controlling the last shut-off device 20 to close to complete the pouring process.
[0072] In the above technical solution, the second end of the first wire and the second end of the second wire cooperate with the molten metal, so that the controller 31 can receive the information that the corresponding horizontal runner 11 is filled with molten metal, and then use the interception device 20 to complete the filling of the casting cavity 40 from bottom to top, so as to avoid the gate area at the bottom of the casting cavity 40 being subjected to a long flushing time of the high-temperature alloy liquid (i.e., molten metal) from the beginning to the end of pouring; it should be noted that the gate area can be understood as the area connected between the pouring part 14 and the casting cavity 40.
[0073] In the optimization of the above technical solution, the control unit 30 also includes an execution module, which is used to control the pouring of molten metal. When the controller receives a signal that the riser 15 is full of molten metal, in addition to controlling the last shut-off device 20 to close, it also controls the execution module to stop the pouring of molten metal.
[0074] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the number of the liquid inlet runners 13 is multiple groups, and preferably the number of the liquid inlet runners 13 is two groups, and the two groups of liquid inlet runners 13 are symmetrically arranged.
[0075] A pouring method is applied to the above-mentioned low-pressure casting pouring system, the low-pressure casting pouring system comprising:
[0076] S1. After coating a layer of release agent on the mold of the low-pressure casting pouring system, a sand mixer is used to mix sand and form a sand mold;
[0077] Among them, after the mold is coated with a layer of release agent, it is dried and then assembled. It should also be noted that the sand mold can be formed in sections using the mold according to actual needs. After the sectioned molding, the sand molds are assembled in sequence from bottom to top on the mobile platform;
[0078] S2, installing the intercepting device 20 at a preset position in the sand mold, and connecting the liquid inlet end of the vertical runner 131 to the pouring port through the pouring channel;

[0080] By using the above-mentioned pouring method, it is possible to achieve stable filling of large aluminum alloy hanging castings from bottom to top and sequential solidification from bottom to top, thus solving the problem of defects such as looseness, segregation and cracks that are prone to occur at the bottom of large castings.

The cutting performance of the designated area 3 on the casting 50 reaches a tensile strength σb=480MPa and an elongation δ=13%; it should also be noted that the casting 50 has a large diameter and a small diameter.
