Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to casting, in particular to a bidirectional centrifugal casting machine. Background Art

[0002] Centrifugal casting machines are divided into three types: horizontal, vertical and inclined. Horizontal centrifugal casting machines are mainly used to cast various tubular castings. In addition, they can cast large-diameter copper rollers for papermaking machines. Vertical centrifugal casting machines are mainly used to produce various annular castings and smaller non-circular castings. Driven by centrifugal force, metal crystallization gradually proceeds from the mold wall to the inner surface of the casting in sequence. It has a certain directional cooling crystallization. Driven by centrifugal force, the metal liquid is thrown to the side wall of the mold, so that casting defects such as pores and shrinkage cavities are bridged under the action of pressure. Similarly, traditional centrifugal casting has some problems. Tube castings often have transverse cracks and incomplete filling in some parts. The main problem solved by this device is how to improve the product filling completeness rate and how to reduce the product transverse cracks. Summary of the invention

[0010] According to a further technical solution, an upper cover is provided on the upper side of the shell, a funnel is provided on the upper side of the upper cover, a through groove is provided in the funnel, and the through groove of the funnel is connected to the central groove of the guide body.

[0011] According to a further technical solution, a transmission shaft frame is provided on the upper side of the rotating disk near the transmission shaft, and a hole in the transmission shaft frame is rotatably connected to the transmission shaft.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0013] A bidirectional centrifugal casting machine of the present invention is provided with a shell, a rotating disk, a working chamber, a flow guide, a lower mold frame, etc. The molten metal diffuses to the surroundings through the flow guide and flows into the molding cavity. The rotating rotating disk provides flow power for the molten metal to enter the molding cavity, which can reduce product defects caused by incomplete filling of the casting. Secondly, the lower mold frame and the upper mold frame rotate in the rotating bracket, so that the metal liquid is thrown to the side wall of the casting mold, so that the casting defects such as pores and shrinkage holes are bridged under the action of pressure, thereby retaining the advantages of the traditional centrifugal casting machine.

[0014] The device can control the annular body to rotate or lock in the annular slide groove by arranging a locking groove and a locking plate. When the annular body is locked, the locking telescopic rod rotates, and at this time, the bidirectional centrifugal movement is started. It is used for casting solid products, and the advantage is that the generation of transverse cracks is reduced. When the annular body is released, the annular body actively moves to drive the lower mold frame and the upper mold frame to rotate, and the rotating disk stops rotating. This mode is suitable for the production of pipes and shell products with hollow structures, thereby greatly improving the adaptability of the present invention.

[0015] When the locking plate releases the lock on the annular body, a power motor and a driving gear are set, and the driving gear drives the annular body to rotate actively. By controlling the speed of the rotation direction of the annular body, the rotation speed of the lower mold frame and the upper mold frame can be controlled separately, and it can be independent of the rotation speed of the rotating disk to adapt to the requirements of different metals and different product sizes. Similarly, by adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating disk and the annular body, the rotation speed of the rotating disk can be adjusted separately while keeping the rotation state of the lower mold frame and the upper mold frame unchanged, so as to control the axial pressure of the molten liquid inside the molding cavity along the molding cavity separately, thereby reducing the generation of defects such as air holes and shrinkage holes in the product in this direction.

The annular body 17 is provided with teeth inside and outside. An intermediate gear 30 is rotatably provided on the upper side of the rotating disk 35, and the intermediate gear 30 is distributed around the circumference of the axis of the rotating disk 35. The intermediate gear 30 is meshed with the teeth on the inner side of the annular body 17, and the shaft of the intermediate gear 30 is provided with a first bevel gear 31, and the first bevel gear 31 is meshed with a second bevel gear 32, and the shaft of the second bevel gear 32 is connected with a transmission shaft 34, and the inner end of the transmission shaft 34 is connected to the axial position of the end of the lower mold frame 19.

[0026] The molten metal is injected into the guide body 21, and the rotating disk 35 rotates in the working chamber 36. The rotating disk 35 drives the lower mold frame 19 and the upper mold frame 39 to rotate, and the annular body 17 is locked. The rotating disk 35 drives the surrounding intermediate gear 30 to rotate relative to the annular body 17, and the intermediate gear 30 drives the first bevel gear 31 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 31 drives the second bevel gear 32 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 32 drives the transmission shaft 34 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 34 drives the lower mold frame 19 and the upper mold frame 39 to rotate in the rotating groove of the rotating bracket 18, thereby realizing the two-way rotation function. The molten metal enters the molding cavity 20 through the guide tube 22, and moves to the outside of the molding cavity 20 under the action of centrifugal force, so that the molten metal fills the molding cavity 20. On the one hand, it avoids incomplete filling of the local position of the molding cavity 20 and avoids defects in the casting. On the other hand, it allows the metal to start to cool during the cooling process. Finally, it is subjected to the centrifugal force along the axial direction of the molding cavity 20, reducing the generation of transverse cracks in the casting.

In this mode, it returns to the traditional centrifugal casting function and is suitable for manufacturing pipe and shell castings.
