[0073] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, different clamping heads 523 can be selected according to the size of the part of the blade wax model 6 to be clamped, so as to facilitate the clamping of different parts of the blade wax model 6.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the device for wax mold welding of the embodiment of the present invention can be used to adjust the welding quality by adjusting the process parameters of the welding between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7. That is to say, the device for wax mold welding of the above embodiment is used to weld the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 with different process parameters. The parameters of the welding area of ​​the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 that are welded and combined with each other are measured to evaluate the welding quality between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7, so that the parameters of the welding area meet the preset parameter range by changing the process parameters, so as to obtain the optimal process parameters for welding the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7.

[0075] Among them, the process parameters for welding between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 include the pressing speed of the hot melt part 4 to extrude the runner wax mold 7, the pressing depth of the hot melt part 4 to extrude the runner wax mold 7, the hot melt temperature of the hot melt part 4 to melt the runner wax mold 7, and the curing time between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7.

[0076] The curing time is a key parameter for calculating the production time of the welding process. The production time of the welding process can be calculated by: , calculated. is the number of repetitions; t move is the movement time of the driving component 41 and the grabbing part 5 during the combination of the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7, which is mainly limited by the movement speed of the driving component 41 and the grabbing part 5 and can be calculated; t tech is the process time, which is mainly determined by process parameters such as melting time, pressing speed of the hot melt part 4, pressing depth of the hot melt part 4, etc., and can be obtained by statistics; t wait It is the curing time, which is mainly affected by factors such as ambient temperature, melting process, wax material, etc., and is obtained based on actual environmental tests.

[0077] Furthermore, the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 that have been welded and combined with each other are inspected, and the geometric dimensions of the melting area of ​​the runner wax mold 7 at the position to be welded are measured with a ruler, such as the area of ​​the melting area. The geometric dimensions of the melting area are used to characterize the bonding strength between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7. The joining position between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 is connected by an arc, and the radius of the arc at the joining position is measured with a ruler to obtain the arc radius. The arc radius is used to characterize the degree of continuity of the transition between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7. The geometric dimensions of the melting area and the arc radius of the joining position obtained by the above measurements are compared with the preset parameter interval of the melting area and the preset parameter interval of the arc radius to determine whether the welding process parameters meet the process requirements.

[0078] If the geometric dimensions of the melting area and the arc radius of the bonding position obtained by the above measurement do not fall into the preset parameter range of the melting area and the preset parameter range of the arc radius, change the pressing speed of the hot melt part 4 to extrude the runner wax mold 7, the pressing depth of the hot melt part 4 to extrude the runner wax mold 7, the hot melt temperature of the hot melt part 4 to melt the runner wax mold 7, and the curing time between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 until the geometric dimensions of the melting area and the arc radius of the bonding position fall into the preset parameter range of the melting area and the preset parameter range of the arc radius, so as to obtain the optimal process parameters for welding between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7.

[0079] In addition, the bonding defects between the blade wax model 6 and the runner wax model 7 also include defects such as interlayers, welds, and bubbles, and the main measurement methods are manual visual inspection and counting.

[0080] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a casting mold, comprising:

[0081] S1: Using the wax mold welding device described in the above embodiment, the blade wax mold is welded to the position to be welded of the runner wax mold.

[0082] S2: coating the ceramic slurry on the exterior of the blade wax mold and the runner wax mold that are combined with each other to form a ceramic coating.

[0083] S3: calcining the ceramic coating to melt the blade wax mold and the runner wax mold inside the ceramic slurry to form a casting mold for the gas turbine blade.

[0084] By manufacturing the casting mold by the above method, the combination accuracy between the blade wax mold 6 and the runner wax mold 7 is improved, thereby improving the manufacturing accuracy of the casting mold for the gas turbine blade to meet the casting process requirements of the gas turbine blade, a high-precision part.

[0085] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, step S2 can be refined as follows: sticking ceramic slurry on the outside of the combined blade wax mold and the runner wax mold, and drying, and repeating the above operation 8 times. Step S3 can be refined as follows: using a heating method to melt the blade wax mold and the runner wax mold inside the ceramic slurry, realizing a dewaxing process, and further firing to form a casting mold for a gas turbine blade.

[0086] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail.
