Description

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0041] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, the following mold quick maintenance lost foam casting equipment is provided:

[0042] Combination Figures 1-14As shown, the present invention provides a mold quick maintenance lost foam casting device, a casting box 1, which is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with an open top, a first side baffle 11 is provided at one end of the casting box 1, and a second side baffle 12 is provided at the other end;

[0043] The conveying track 2 has a production position at one end and a discharge position at the other end. A vibration separation box 7 and a sand cleaning component 8 are provided at the discharge position, and a receiving component 5 is provided at the production position.

[0044] The sand mold making mechanism 3 is placed on one side of the making position. The sand mold making mechanism 3 includes a base 31. The top of the base 31 is rotatably connected to the switching spindle 32. The top of the switching spindle 32 is provided with a top frame 33. Four stations are arranged on the outer side of the top frame 33. Three of the four stations are respectively installed with a sand filling component 34, a compaction component 4 and an upper film component 35. The remaining one of the four stations is an open lost foam placement station. The sand filling component 34 is used to evenly fill the bottom sand 91 and the middle sand 92 into the casting box 1. The lost foam placement station is used to manually place the lost profile 93 on the bottom sand 91 and install two groups of casting tubes 94. The upper film component 35 is used to place the film 95 on the middle sand 92. The compaction component 4 is used to compact the bottom sand 91 and the middle sand 92 and open a through hole on the film 95 to expose the casting tube 94.

[0045] The sand mold maintenance mechanism includes a discharge assembly 6, a first clamping assembly 64 and a second clamping assembly 65. The top end of the discharge assembly 6 is connected to the first clamping assembly 64 and the second clamping assembly 65, and a vibration separation box 7 is provided on one side of the second clamping assembly 65. The sand mold maintenance mechanism includes the following working states: in the first state, the second clamping assembly 65 pulls up the second side baffle 12, the first clamping assembly 64 pushes the first side baffle 11, and the first side baffle 11 pushes the sand material to be transferred to the vibration separation box 7; in the second state, the first clamping assembly 64 and the second clamping assembly 65 drive the casting box 1 to flip downward, and the sand cleaning assembly 8 cleans the residue in the casting box 1 and reduces the temperature of the casting box 1.

[0046] In the above scheme:

[0047] 1. By switching the main shaft 32, the sand filling assembly 34, the compacting assembly 4, the upper film assembly 35 and the lost foam placement station can be driven to be alternately placed above the production station. In this way, the four processes can be quickly alternated, effectively improving the efficiency of lost foam casting. There is no need for the casting box 1 to turn back and forth between multiple stations, effectively reducing the workload of workers;

[0048] 2. The sand filling component 34 can quickly put the molding sand into the casting box 1, and the upper film component 35 can cover the film 95 on the middle sand 92, thereby improving the working efficiency of sand filling and film covering;

[0049] 3. The compaction component 4 can first compact the bottom sand 91 to ensure the tightness of the bottom sand 91, eliminating the need for manual tamping with tools; after the film 95 is completely covered, the compaction component 4 can be adjusted to expose the casting pipe 94 and press down the middle sand 92 to ensure the tightness of the middle sand 92. At the same time, the film 95 will also be pressed down accordingly to ensure the degree of adhesion between the film 95 and the middle sand 92; after the pressing is completed, the compaction component 4 can cut off the part of the film 95 covering the casting pipe 94, so that the casting pipe 94 is fully exposed.

[0050] 4. The casting box 1 is designed with movable first side baffle 11 and second side baffle 12 at both ends. When pouring the lower sand, the first clamping component 64 and the second clamping component 65 can drive the first side baffle 11 and the second side baffle 12 to act respectively, so that the first side baffle 11 can push the sand material together with the workpiece to the vibration separation box 7 quickly, separating the sand material from the workpiece. In this way, the blanking efficiency is effectively improved and the lower sand is more thorough.

[0051] 5. The first clamping component 64 and the second clamping component 65 can also drive the casting box 1 to turn over, making the opening of the casting box 1 face downward. In this way, the sand cleaning component 8 can extend into the casting box 1 to clean the casting box 1, removing the sand material attached to the inner wall of the casting box 1 and reducing the temperature of the casting box 1 for the next production of the sand mold.

[0052] In this embodiment, a U-shaped first storage opening 15 is provided at one end of the casting box 1, and a U-shaped second storage opening 16 is provided at the other end. The inner bottom end of the second storage opening 16 is flush with the inner bottom surface of the casting box 1, the inner bottom end of the first storage opening 15 is higher than the inner bottom surface of the casting box 1, the cross-sectional area of the first storage opening 15 is smaller than that of the second storage opening 16, and clamping grooves 13 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of one end of the casting box 1; the first side baffle 11 fits and stops inside the first storage opening 15, a sealing plate 112 is provided on the outer wall of the first side baffle 11, the sealing plate 112 is embedded in the first storage opening 15, elastic clamping blocks 111 are symmetrically provided at the bottom end of the first side baffle 11, and the elastic clamping blocks 111 are clamped and embedded in the clamping grooves 13. Translation slide rails 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the casting box 1, and sliding blocks 113 are symmetrically provided at the top end of the first side baffle 11, and the sliding blocks 113 are slidably embedded in the translation slide rails 14; vertical grooves are symmetrically provided inside the second storage opening 16, and the second side baffle 12 is vertically slidably inserted into the vertical grooves, and a negative pressure joint 19 is provided on the side of the casting box 1.

[0053] In the above solution:

[0054] The first side baffle 11 can slide horizontally. When it is in normal use, the elastic clamping block 111 is snapped into the clamping groove 13, and the sealing plate 112 is embedded in the first storage opening 15, so that the first side baffle 11 can carry out normal side enclosure; during blanking, the first side baffle 11 is subjected to a horizontal thrust on the side, so that the elastic clamping block 111 leaves the clamping groove 13, and the first side baffle 11 can push out the sand in the casting box 1.

[0055] The second side baffle 12 moves vertically. When it is in normal use, the second side baffle 12 closes the second storage opening 16 under the action of gravity. During sand feeding, the second side baffle 12 is lifted by the second clamping assembly 65, and the second storage opening 16 can be completely exposed, so that the sand pushed out by the first side baffle 11 can be quickly transferred to the vibration separation box 7.

[0056] The negative pressure connector 19 is used to connect with an external negative pressure device during casting to extract the air in the sand, and the film 95 can assist in improving the negative pressure suction effect from the upper part.

[0057] In this embodiment, the sand filling assembly 34 includes a first driving rod 341. The top end of the first driving rod 341 is connected to the top frame body 33, and the bottom end is connected to the cover plate 342. The cover plate 342 is cooperatively covered on the top of the casting box 1. A sand feeding pipe 343 is arranged inside the cover plate 342, and a stirring blade 344 is arranged in the middle of the bottom of the cover plate 342.

[0058] In the above solution: during blanking, the cover plate 342 rotates above the casting box 1, and the sand in the sand storage box 9a is extracted by negative pressure to the sand feeding pipe 343 and then falls into the casting box 1, and the stirring blade 344 can disperse the falling sand.

[0059] In this embodiment, the film feeding assembly 35 includes a second driving rod 351. The top end of the second driving rod 351 is connected to the top frame body 33, and the bottom end is connected to the first moving guide rail 352. One end of the bottom of the first moving guide rail 352 is slidably connected to the storage seat 353. A film 95 roll is stored inside the storage seat 353. A translation cutter 354 and a first restraint clip 355 are installed on the output side of the storage seat 353. The other end of the bottom of the first moving guide rail 352 is fixedly provided with a second restraint clip 356. The first restraint clip 355 and the second restraint clip 356 are used to movably clamp both ends of the film 95.

[0060] In the above solution: When the upper film assembly 35 moves above the casting box 1, the worker first places the film roll 95 in the storage seat 353, then pulls the film 95 outwards into the second restraint bar 356. Subsequently, the storage seat 353 translates along the first moving guide rail 352, and the film roll 95 releases an appropriate length of the film 95. Then, the first restraint bar 355 clamps the film 95, and the translation cutter 354 translates to cut off the film 95. The second driving rod 351 drives the first moving guide rail 352 to descend, so that the film 95 covers the casting box 1, and the first restraint bar 355 and the second restraint bar 356 are loosened.

[0061] In this embodiment, the compaction assembly 4 includes a third driving rod 41. The top end of the third driving rod 41 is connected to the top frame body 33, and the bottom end is connected to a pressing plate 42. Avoidance holes 421 for avoiding the casting pipe 94 are formed on the surface of the pressing plate 42. A plurality of groups of fixing rods 431 are provided on the outer periphery of each avoidance hole 421. A fixing ring 43 is provided at the top end of the fixing rod 431. A toothed ring 44 is rotatably installed on the top surface of the fixing ring 43. The side wall of the toothed ring 44 is meshed and connected to a driving gear 432. The driving gear 432 is arranged at the side of the fixing ring 43. A horizontal telescopic rod 45 is provided on the top surface of the toothed ring 44. The inner end of the horizontal telescopic rod 45 is vertically connected to a fourth driving rod 46. The bottom end of the fourth driving rod 46 is connected to a cutting motor 47. The bottom end of the cutting motor 47 is connected to a horizontally arranged cutting wheel 471. When the pressing plate 42 presses down the bottom sand 91, the cutting wheel 471 blocks the avoidance hole 421. When the pressing plate 42 presses down the middle sand 92, the cutting wheel 471 is lifted and placed on one side of the casting pipe 94, and the cutting wheel 471 makes a circular motion to cut off the part of the film 95 wrapping the casting pipe 94.

[0062] In the above solution:

[0063] When pressing down the bottom sand 91, the cutting motor 47 is placed above the avoidance hole 421, and the cutting wheel 471 extends into the avoidance hole 421 and blocks the avoidance hole 421. In this way, when the pressing plate 42 presses down the bottom sand 91, the bottom surface of the pressing plate 42 is a flat surface, and the cutting wheel 471 can assist in pressing down.

[0064] Before pressing down the middle sand 92, the fourth driving rod 46 drives the cutting wheel 471 to be lifted above the pressing plate 42, and the horizontal telescopic rod 45 contracts, so that the cutting wheel 471 is placed on one side of the avoidance hole 421. When pressing down, the pressing plate 42 fits the middle sand 92, the casting pipe 94 extends out of the avoidance hole 421, the driving gear 432 drives the toothed ring 44 to rotate, and then drives the cutting wheel 471 to make a circular motion. At the same time, the cutting motor 47 drives the cutting wheel 471 to rotate, thereby cutting the film 95 in a circular shape.

Telescopic clamping plates 657 are provided on both sides of the second magnetic suction plate 655. Clamping sleeves 18 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the casting box 1. The telescopic clamping plates 657 are fitted and embedded in the clamping sleeves 18.

[0068] In the above solution: when discharging, the first lifting arm 641 moves along the opening and closing guide rail 63, so that the first magnetic suction plate 642 fits and adsorbs the first side baffle 11. The seventh driving rod 651 moves along the opening and closing guide rail 63, so that the second magnetic suction plate fits and adsorbs the second side baffle 12. The seventh driving rod 651 contracts, thereby driving the second side baffle 12 to lift and separate from the second receiving port 16. The first lifting arm 641 translates, and the first magnetic suction plate 642 can push the first side baffle 11 to translate, thereby pushing out the sand material.

[0069] After the sand is filled, the first side baffle 11 and the second side baffle 12 are reset. The telescopic clamping plates 657 retract, so that the telescopic clamping plates 657 are inserted into the clamping sleeves 18. The first magnetic suction plate 642 and the second magnetic suction plate 655 are flipped synchronously, so that the opening of the casting box 1 faces downward. The sixth driving rod 621 drives the casting box 1 to descend, so that the sand cleaning assembly 8 enters the casting box 1.

[0070] After cleaning, the casting box 1 has its opening facing upwards, and the chassis body moves along the second moving guide rail 61, so that the casting box 1 is transferred to the rollers of the conveying track 2, and the rollers can drive the casting box 1 to be transferred to the manufacturing position.

[0071] In this embodiment, the sand cleaning assembly 8 includes a bottom plate 81. Both ends of the surface of the bottom plate 81 are of open structures and both ends are provided with collection boxes 811. On both sides of the surface of the bottom plate 81, side enclosing plates 82 are vertically provided. Above the inner wall of the side enclosing plates 82, side grooves 821 are provided. At the center of the bottom plate 81, a rotatable central rotating box 83 is installed; an activity groove 831 is formed in the central rotating box 83, and an activity arm 84 slidably penetrates through the inside of the activity groove 831. One end of the activity arm 84 is provided with a sliding sleeve 85, and at the top of the sliding sleeve 85, a rotatable cleaning brush column 86 is provided. A translation rod 87 is slidably installed between the two groups of side enclosing plates 82. The sliding sleeve 85 is installed on the translation rod 87, and a scraping strip 871 is provided on the bottom surface of the translation rod 87; an eighth driving rod 88 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 81.

[0072] In the above solution: when the central rotating box 83 rotates, it can drive the activity arm 84, the sliding sleeve 85, and the translation rod 87 to move synchronously. In this way, the cleaning brush column 86 can perform a rectangular motion, and the cleaning brush column 86 can clean the inner wall of the casting box 1, thereby cleaning the adhering sand on the inner wall of the casting box 1. The sand material can fall onto the bottom plate 81. When the translation rod 87 reciprocates, the scraping strip 871 can push the fallen sand material into the collection box 811. The sand material in the collection box 811 and the sand material in the vibration separation box 7 are both pumped into the sand storage box 9a; the translation rod 87 is located above the central rotating box 83.

The side air extraction holes 822 and the high-pressure exhaust head 832 are both communicated with the circulating air box 89. The high-pressure exhaust head 832 outputs cold air into the casting box 1 from the center, and the side air extraction holes 822 suck in the hot air flowing to both sides.

[0074] In the above solution: the translation rod 87 is located above the high-pressure exhaust head 832. The circulating fan discharges high-pressure air to the central rotating box 83, and then discharges high-pressure cold air upwards through the high-pressure exhaust head 832. The high-pressure cold air is discharged to the middle part of the inside of the casting box 1. The high-pressure cold air pushes the hot air to move around from the middle part, and then the hot air is extracted through the side air extraction holes 822. The hot air is dissipated through the heat dissipation channels in the circulating air box 89.
