DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example:

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0028] A sand core coating device, comprising:

[0029] A support column 10, wherein the support column 10 is fixed on one side of the dipping tank 12, and the top of the support column 10 is fixedly connected to the reduction motor 7, which is used to fix the reduction motor 7 and supply power at the same time. The output end of the reduction motor 7 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 8, and the rotating shaft 8 crosses the upper space of the dipping tank 12 to reach the other side of the dipping tank 12 and is rotatably connected to the bracket of the rotating shaft 8. A core supporting platform 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8, which is used to carry the sand core 2 to flip and contact with the dipping coating 9, and an inflatable tape 3 is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the core supporting platform 6;

[0030] The top of the core supporting platform 6 is fixedly connected with a sand core grabbing assembly 1 via a connecting arm 1701 .

[0031] In this embodiment, a sand core grabbing assembly 1 is arranged above the core supporting platform 6, and a lifting cylinder 17 is arranged on the fixed connecting arm 1701, and the lower end of the lifting cylinder 17 is connected to the two-way oil cylinder 18. Because the output ends on both sides of the two-way oil cylinder 18 are respectively connected to the core connecting arms 19, when the lifting cylinder 17 drives the two-way oil cylinder 18 to stably lift and lower through the first guide rod 1702, the core connecting arm 19 also rises and falls with the two-way oil cylinder 18. At the same time, the lower end of the two-way oil cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to two second guide rods 20, and the lower end of the core connecting arm 19 is slidably connected to the second guide rod 20. When the two-way oil cylinder 18 is driven to operate, the core connecting arm 19 will be driven to move synchronously in both directions, thereby ensuring that the core connecting arm 19 moves symmetrically around the center of the sand core 2.

[0032] When the lifting cylinder 17 drives the grabbing plate 1901 at the lower end of the core connecting arm 19 to move to the lower surface of the sand core 2, when the lower surface is flush with the grabbing plate 1901, the two-way oil cylinder 18 contracts the core connecting arm 19 to the position of the sand core 2, so that the sand core grabbing assembly 1 completes the grabbing of the sand core 2, and then drives the lifting cylinder 17 to move downward, and places the sand core 2 on top of the inflatable tape 3 on the core supporting platform 6. At this time, the two-way oil cylinder 18 is driven to extend, driving the core connecting arm 19 to open, thereby loosening the grabbing of the sand core 2, and driving the lifting cylinder 17 to move upward to complete the loading of the sand core 2.

[0033] Specifically, the sand core grabbing assembly 1 includes a lifting cylinder 17 , which is fixed to the upper end surface of the connecting arm 1701 , and the output end of the lifting cylinder 17 passes through the connecting arm 1701 to the bottom and is fixedly connected to the bidirectional oil cylinder 18 .

[0034] Specifically, first guide rods 1702 are fixedly mounted on the upper end surfaces of both sides of the bidirectional oil cylinder 18 , and the first guide rods 1702 are slidably connected to the connecting arms 1701 .

[0035] Specifically, core connecting arms 19 are respectively installed at the output ends of both sides of the bidirectional oil cylinder 18 , and the lower ends of the core connecting arms 19 are slidably connected to the second guide rod 20 , and the second guide rod 20 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the bidirectional oil cylinder 18 .

[0036] Specifically, the lower end surface of the core connecting arm 19 is fixedly connected with a grabbing plate 1901 through bolts for grabbing the sand core 2 .

[0037] In this embodiment, after the sand core 2 is placed on the core supporting platform 6, the sand core 2 is covered above the inflatable tape 3. At this time, the external air source is started to fill the inflatable tape 3 with a certain amount of compressed air through the air pipe 5 and the inflation nozzle 4. At this time, the inflatable tape 3 expands under the action of the compressed air, so that the expanded surface of the inflatable tape 3 is in close contact with the inner surface of the sand core 2 to press the sand core 2, thereby fixing the sand core 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the reduction motor 7 rotates during dipping, driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. Since the inflatable tape 3 is in a compressed state at this time, the sand core 2 can be fixed together with the core support platform 6, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 will drive the core support platform 6 and the sand core 2 to rotate 180° (such as Figure 5), at this time, the four lifting cylinders 11 fixed under the dipping tank 12 drive the dipping tank 12 to rise, and the sand core 2 is completely immersed in the dipping paint 9, and the dipping paint 9 is dipped onto the surface of the sand core 2, thereby completing the dipping process. At this time, the reducer rotates slowly in the reverse direction by 180°. During the rotation process, the excess paint will flow into the dipping tank 12 for recovery, avoiding paint dripping due to excessive paint and forming painting defects. Then the lifting cylinder 17 moves downward, driving the sand core grabbing assembly 1 to grab the sand core 2 and move it to the next station for subsequent process processing.

[0039] Specifically, lifting cylinders 11 are respectively installed at the four corners of the lower end surface of the dipping tank 12.

[0040] Specifically, the bottom of the inflatable tape 3 is provided with an inflating nozzle 4, and the inflating nozzle 4 is fixedly connected to an air pipe 5 extending from the inside of the core supporting platform 6, and the other end of the air pipe 5 is connected to an external air source.

[0041] In this embodiment, during the use of the dipping paint 9 in the dipping tank 12, paint precipitation may occur. At this time, a certain amount of paint is transported from the paint stirring tank 15 to the bottom of the dipping tank 12 through the paint pump 14. Since the paint pump 14 has a certain pressure, the dipping paint 9 input into the dipping tank 12 will cause the bottom dipping paint 9 to flow, thereby causing the precipitate to flow, thereby solving the problem of paint precipitation while replenishing the paint in the dipping tank 12.

[0042] A stirrer 16 is arranged above the paint stirring tank 15 to stir the inside, so as to avoid the paint from settling, thereby ensuring the concentration of the paint.

[0043] Specifically, the bottom end of the dipping tank 12 is connected to a paint pump 14 pipeline through a paint hose 13, and the paint pump 14 is connected to a paint stirring tank 15 pipeline through a hose.

[0044] Specifically, the upper end surface of the paint stirring tank 15 is fixedly connected with a stirrer 16 .

[0045] When the present invention is in use, a sand core grabbing assembly 1 is arranged above the core supporting platform 6, and a lifting cylinder 17 is arranged on the fixed connecting arm 1701, and the lower end of the lifting cylinder 17 is connected to the two-way oil cylinder 18. Because the output ends on both sides of the two-way oil cylinder 18 are respectively connected to the core connecting arms 19, when the lifting cylinder 17 drives the two-way oil cylinder 18 to stably lift and lower through the first guide rod 1702, the core connecting arms 19 also rise and fall with the two-way oil cylinder 18, and at the same time, the lower end of the two-way oil cylinder 18 is fixed. Two second guide rods 20 are connected, and the lower end of the core connecting arm 19 is slidably connected to the second guide rods 20. When the two-way oil cylinder 18 is driven to operate, the core connecting arm 19 will be driven to move synchronously in both directions, thereby ensuring that the core connecting arm 19 moves symmetrically with the center of the sand core 2. When the lifting cylinder 17 drives the grabbing plate 1901 at the lower end of the core connecting arm 19 to move to the lower surface of the sand core 2, when the lower surface is flush with the grabbing plate 1901, the two-way oil cylinder 18 retracts the core connecting arm 19 to the position of the sand core 2, thereby The sand core grabbing assembly 1 completes grabbing of the sand core 2, and then drives the lifting cylinder 17 to move downward, and places the sand core 2 on the inflatable tape 3 on the core supporting platform 6. At this time, the two-way oil cylinder 18 is driven to extend, driving the core receiving arm 19 to open, thereby releasing the grabbing of the sand core 2, and driving the lifting cylinder 17 to move upward to complete the loading of the sand core 2. When the sand core 2 is placed on the core supporting platform 6, the sand core 2 is covered on the inflatable tape 3, and the external air source is started to inflate the sand core 2 through the air pipe 5 and the inflatable nozzle 4. A certain amount of compressed air is filled into the air tape 3. At this time, the air tape 3 expands under the action of the compressed air, so that the expanded surface of the air tape 3 is in close contact with the inner surface of the sand core 2 to press the sand core 2, thereby fixing the sand core 2. During the dip coating, the reduction motor 7 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. Since the air tape 3 is in a compressed state at this time, the sand core 2 can be fixed together with the core support platform 6, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 will drive the core support platform 6 and the sand core 2 to rotate 180° together (such as Figure 5 ), at this time, the four lifting cylinders 11 fixed under the dipping tank 12 drive the dipping tank 12 to rise, and the sand core 2 is completely immersed in the dipping paint 9, and the dipping paint 9 is dipped onto the surface of the sand core 2, thereby completing the dipping process. At this time, the reducer rotates slowly in the reverse direction by 180°. During the rotation process, the excess paint will flow into the dipping tank 12 for recovery, avoiding paint dripping due to excessive paint and forming painting defects. Then the lifting cylinder 17 moves downward, driving the sand core grabbing assembly 1 to grab the sand core 2, and it can be moved to the next station for subsequent process processing.
