Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of centrifugal pump impeller casting, and in particular to a centrifugal pump impeller casting system and a casting method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A centrifugal pump is a pump that transports liquid by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller. Its impeller has a complex shape and is usually made by casting. During casting, it is necessary to first prepare a sand mold with a cavity, and then pour molten metal into the cavity. After the molten metal cools and hardens, the impeller is made. In the field of centrifugal pump impeller casting, traditional technology faces many challenges.
[0003] In terms of automation, the traditional system lacks a complete automation process. From the opening and closing of the mold, the demoulding of the impeller to the subsequent transportation and cooling, each link requires a lot of manual participation. This not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also easily leads to operational errors due to human factors, which in turn affects the stability of product quality and the improvement of production efficiency.
[0004] There are also problems in the cooling process. Some traditional casting systems lack precise control over the impeller cooling process, and it is difficult to guarantee the impeller's residence time in the coolant. If the residence time is too short, the impeller is not fully cooled, its internal structure cannot be effectively optimized, and its mechanical properties are greatly reduced, which directly affects the service life and working efficiency of the centrifugal pump impeller.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the traditional centrifugal pump impeller casting technology, it is imperative to develop a new casting system that is efficient, precise, highly automated and can ensure product quality.

[0018] 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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. Example 1
[0024] Reference Figure 1-13 A centrifugal pump impeller casting system includes a casting mold mechanism 1, a cooling water tank 2, a mounting bracket 3 and an impeller conveying mechanism 4. The various parts cooperate closely to jointly complete the casting and conveying process of the impeller. The casting mold mechanism 1 is fixed directly above the impeller conveying mechanism 4 through the mounting bracket 3, ensuring that the impeller can accurately fall into the impeller conveying mechanism 4 after being demoulded from the mold, achieving efficient connection, and greatly improving the consistency and fluency of the overall production process; The casting mold mechanism 1 includes an upper mold 101 and a lower mold 102. The lower mold 102 is provided with two. A lower mold cavity 1021 is provided at the top of the lower mold 102. Two upper mold cavities 1013 are provided at the bottom of the upper mold 101. The two upper mold cavities 1013 correspond to and match the lower mold cavities 1021 at the tops of the two lower molds 102 respectively. The upper mold 101 is fixed on the mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 is provided with a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to drive the two lower molds 102 to rise and fall synchronously and drive the two lower molds 102 to rotate and tilt. During the mold closing process, the lower mold 102 rises steadily along a preset trajectory. The guide groove at the top of the lower mold 102 is precisely matched with the guide column 1012 at the bottom of the upper mold 101, ensuring that the upper and lower molds are accurately docked to form a closed and precise cavity, providing space for the injection of high-temperature liquid casting materials. When it is necessary to remove the formed impeller from the mold, the lower mold 102 is gradually tilted under the action of the driving mechanism, creating favorable conditions for the smooth demoulding of the impeller. The impeller conveying mechanism 4 is used to catch the impeller 7 that has tilted down from the lower mold 102 and slowly convey it toward the two ends of the cooling water trough 2, and convey it to the groove 201 positions at both ends of the cooling water trough 2. The impeller 7 is slowly transferred in the cooling water trough 2, and has sufficient time to cool down, ensuring that the cooling is completed when it moves to the groove 201 position. Since the impeller 7 is transported to the groove 201 position in a concentrated manner, it is convenient to take out the impeller 7.
[0025] The collector 202 is provided in the groove 201, and a lifting rod 2021 is provided at the top of the collector 202. The top of the lifting rod 2021 extends to the outside of the cooling water tank 2. When the impeller 7 is finally transported to the groove 201, it will fall into the collector 202 pre-placed in the groove 201. The collector 202 is used to collect the cast impellers 7 in a centralized manner. When a certain number of impellers 7 are collected in the collector 202, the operator can lift the collector 202 out of the groove 201 through the lifting rod 2021, which is convenient for subsequent processing and transportation of the impeller 7. Example 2
[0026] Reference Figure 1-13 , the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the impeller conveying mechanism 4 includes a plurality of receiving plates 402, the receiving plate 402 located in the middle position has the highest height, and the receiving plates 402 arranged toward the grooves 201 on both sides are successively lower in height, the receiving plates 402 are supported and fixed by support rods 401, and the support rods 401 are provided with a drop opening 403, the top of the receiving plate 402 is provided with a boss inclined surface, and the top of the receiving plate 402 is provided with a rotating dial plate 405, the support rod 401 is hollow inside, and a vertical rotating shaft 404 is rotatably installed inside the support rod 401, the top of the vertical rotating shaft 404 is fixed to the rotating dial plate 405, and the bottom of the vertical rotating shaft 404 is fixed to the output shaft of the rotating motor 406; The impeller 7 separated from the mold will fall vertically into the receiving tray 402 in the middle of the impeller conveying mechanism 4. Since the top of the receiving tray 402 is provided with a boss slope, the impeller 7 will gradually slide down along the boss slope to the edge of the receiving tray 402 under the action of gravity. At this time, the rotating motor 406 is in working state, and its output shaft drives the vertical rotating shaft 404 to rotate, and the rotating dial plate 405 fixed to the top of the vertical rotating shaft 404 also rotates accordingly. During the rotation process, the rotating dial plate 405 will gradually contact and push the impeller 7 located at the edge of the receiving tray 402, so that it moves toward the drop port 403. When the impeller 7 moves to the position of the lower drop port 403, due to the existence of the lower drop port 403, the impeller 7 will fall onto the next-level receiving plate 402. The structure and working principle of the next-level receiving plate 402 are the same as those of the previous level. The impeller 7 on this level of receiving plate 402 will also slide to the edge under the action of the boss slope, and then be gradually moved by the rotating plate 405 and fall into the next-level receiving plate 402. In this way, the impeller 7 is repeatedly conveyed by the relay of each level of receiving plate 402, and is slowly and gradually conveyed to the groove 201 position at both ends of the cooling water tank 2.
[0027] Among them, the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are both provided with a coolant inlet and outlet 5, the top of the upper mold 101 is provided with a pouring port 1011, the bottom of the upper mold 101 is provided with a guide column 1012, and the top of the lower mold 102 is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the guide column 1012. During the pouring process, the coolant circulates through the coolant inlet and outlet 5 on the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 to cool the mold and accelerate the solidification of the liquid material. The guide groove at the top of the lower mold 102 is precisely matched with the guide column 1012 at the bottom of the upper mold 101, ensuring that the upper and lower molds are accurately docked to form a closed and precise cavity. Example 3
[0028] Reference Figure 1-13The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the driving mechanism includes four synchronous wheels 301 rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 3, the four synchronous wheels 301 are arranged in pairs, and a synchronous belt 302 is installed on the outside of each pair of synchronous wheels 301, and the sides of the two lower molds 102 that are away from each other are fixed to the surface of the synchronous belt 302, and a driving box 6 is fixed on the mounting bracket 3. The driving box 6 is used to drive the two synchronous wheels 301 located below to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, and a horizontal shaft 601 is rotatably installed inside the driving box 6. The horizontal shaft 601 A spiral guide groove 602 is provided on the outside of 01, first bevel gears 603 are fixed at both ends of the horizontal rotating shaft 601, second bevel gears 303 are fixed on the mounting rotating shafts of the two synchronous wheels 301 located below, and the second bevel gears 303 are meshed with the first bevel gears 603. A push rod motor 604 is also fixed in the driving box 6, and a horizontal moving bracket 605 is fixed at the output end of the push rod motor 604. A limit rod 6051 is fixed on the horizontal moving bracket 605, and one end of the limit rod 6051 extends into the spiral guide groove 602; In the initial state, the horizontal movable bracket 605 is located at the starting position in the driving box 6, and the limit rod 6051 contacts the starting end of the spiral guide groove 602. As the push rod motor 604 is powered on, its output shaft extends, pushing the horizontal movable bracket 605 to move smoothly in the horizontal direction. In this process, the limit rod 6051 slides in the spiral guide groove 602. Due to the special spiral shape of the spiral guide groove 602, it will exert a tangential force on the limit rod 6051, and this tangential force will drive the horizontal shaft 601 to start rotating. The first bevel gears 603 at both ends of the horizontal shaft 601 rotate synchronously with the horizontal shaft 601, and the second bevel gears 303 on the mounting shafts of the two synchronous wheels 301 below are in meshing state with the first bevel gear 603. Therefore, when the first bevel gear 603 rotates, the two synchronous wheels 301 below will be driven to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through the meshing transmission between the gears; Since the two lower molds 102 are respectively fixed on the side of the synchronous belt 302 close to each other, when the synchronous wheel 301 rotates, the synchronous belt 302 begins to move in a circular rotation outside the two pairs of synchronous wheels 301. In this process, the lower mold 102 begins to move up and down synchronously with the movement of the synchronous belt 302. When the lower mold 102 moves upward, the guide groove at the top of the lower mold 102 will gradually rise along the guide column 1012 at the bottom of the upper mold 101 until the lower mold 102 is tightly combined with the upper mold 101. At this time, the upper mold cavity 1013 and the lower mold cavity 1021 are connected to each other to form a complete mold cavity, and the high-temperature liquid casting material is injected into the mold cavity through the pouring port 1011 at the top of the upper mold 101 to start the pouring molding process.
[0029] During the pouring process, the coolant circulates through the coolant inlet and outlet 5 on the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 to cool the mold and accelerate the solidification of the liquid material. After a period of cooling, the impeller 7 is formed in the cavity. At this time, the push rod motor 604 reverses, and its output shaft contracts, driving the horizontal moving bracket 605 to move horizontally in the opposite direction. This action causes the horizontal rotating shaft 601 to rotate in the opposite direction, and then through gear transmission, the two synchronous wheels 301 below rotate in the opposite direction synchronously, driving the synchronous belt 302 to move in the opposite direction, and finally realizing the synchronous downward movement of the two lower molds 102. When the lower mold 102 moves downward to a certain distance, the lower mold 102 is completely separated from the upper mold 101, and the molded impeller 7 remains in the lower mold cavity 1021; As the lower die 102 continues to move downward along the synchronous belt 302, the lower die 102 moves along the edge of the synchronous wheel 301. Due to the circular shape of the synchronous wheel 301, the lower die 102 gradually turns over during the movement.
[0030] Among them, a top column 1022 is movably installed in the lower mold 102, the top of the top column 1022 is flush with the inner wall of the bottom end of the lower mold cavity 1021, the bottom end of the top column 1022 extends to the bottom of the lower mold 102 and is fixed with a top plate 1023, the outside of the top column 1022 is located between the top plate 1023 and the lower mold 102 and is sleeved with a return spring 1024, and the bottom end of the mounting bracket 3 is fixed with a trigger member 1025; When flipped to the tilted state, the top plate 1023 under the lower mold 102 will contact the trigger member 1025 fixed at the bottom end of the mounting bracket 3. As the lower mold 102 continues to flip, the trigger member 1025 will exert an upward force on the top plate 1023, causing the top plate 1023 to move upward, thereby compressing the return spring 1024. While the return spring 1024 is compressed, the top column 1022 fixedly connected to the top plate 1023 also moves upward, and the top end of the top column 1022 gradually protrudes from the bottom end of the lower mold cavity 1021. When the top column 1022 protrudes to a certain extent, it will eject the formed impeller 7 from the lower mold cavity 1021. Example 4
[0031] A centrifugal pump impeller casting method comprises the following steps: S1: injecting high-temperature liquid casting material into the mold cavity composed of the upper mold cavity 1013 and the lower mold cavity 1021 through the pouring port 1011 at the top of the upper mold 101, and starting the pouring molding process; S2: During the pouring process, the coolant circulates through the coolant inlet and outlet 5 on the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 to cool the mold and accelerate the solidification of the liquid material; S3: After the impeller 7 is formed in the cavity, the driving mechanism drives the two lower molds 102 to move downward synchronously, so that the lower mold 102 is separated from the upper mold 101, and the formed impeller 7 remains in the lower mold cavity 1021; S4: the driving mechanism continues to drive the lower mold 102 to flip to a tilted state, the trigger member 1025 contacts the top plate 1023, the top column 1022 ejects the formed impeller 7 from the lower mold cavity 1021, and the impeller 7 falls into the receiving plate 402 of the impeller conveying mechanism 4; S5: The impeller conveying mechanism 4 slowly conveys the impeller 7 to the grooves 201 at both ends of the cooling water tank 2 through the relay conveying of the multi-stage receiving plate 402, and the impeller 7 is fully cooled in the cooling water tank 2; S6: After cooling is completed, the operator lifts the collector 202 out of the groove 201 through the lifting rod 2021 and performs subsequent processing and transportation on the impeller 7.
