Detailed implementation manners

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Referring to the attached Figure 1-11 description, a centrifugal device for grain refinement of castings according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a driving motor 1, a graphite ring 2, and a spherical casting mold structure 3. The driving motor 1 drives the graphite ring 2 to rotate through the output shaft at its end. When the graphite ring 2 rotates, it drives the spherical casting mold structure 3 to rotate through friction; a clamping mechanism 4 is clamped around and on the top of the spherical casting mold structure 3, and a connecting arm 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamping mechanism 4; as Figure 1-3 shown, in the selection of the model of the driving motor 1, if its model is not heat-resistant, it can be installed by placing the driving motor 1 outside the box body 7, that is, leaving the rotating rod part of the output shaft of the driving motor 1 inside the box body 7, and the rest outside or at the bottom of the box body 7, so as to reduce the difficulty of selecting the driving motor 1; when the spherical casting mold structure 3 rotates centrifugally, through the friction between the graphite material of the graphite ring 2 and the spherical casting mold structure 3, the spherical casting mold structure 3 is driven to rotate, so as to form the effect of centrifugal casting molten metal liquid. At the same time, the vertical arrangement of the spherical casting mold structure 3 is beneficial to increasing the friction between the graphite ring 2 and the spherical casting mold structure 3. At the same time, the adjustable clamping relationship between the spherical casting mold structure 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 is beneficial to adjusting the rotation axis of the spherical casting mold structure 3 and improving the problem of single axial centrifugal effect.

[0029] A mold shell base 8 is installed at the bottom of the drive motor 1. A box body 7 is installed outside the drive motor 1, the mold shell base 8 and the spherical casting mold structure 3. A hydraulic rod 6 is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the box body 7, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 6 is installed with the connecting arm 5; the hydraulic rod 6 is used to push the spherical casting mold structure 3 and the clamping mechanism 4 to move towards the position of the graphite ring 2, improving the centrifugal stability of the spherical casting mold structure 3; a first mold shell platform 9 is installed on the output shaft at the end of the drive motor 1, a second mold shell platform 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the first mold shell platform 9, a mold shell frame 11 is installed in the inner cavity of the second mold shell platform 10 by bolts, and a plurality of card slots are opened at the top of the mold shell frame 11. A plug 12 or a casting mold group is inserted into the card slots; in the card slots provided at the top of the mold shell frame 11, there are two application methods. The first is to directly place a small casting mold group together with the molten casting metal inside it in the mold shell frame 11. At this time, the spherical casting mold structure 3 is not required, and centrifugation is directly carried out; the other method is to insert the plug 12, so that when the mold shell frame 11 rotates with the second mold shell platform 10 and the first mold shell platform 9, it drives the graphite ring 2 to rotate synchronously, and the graphite ring 2 drives the spherical casting mold structure 3 to carry out centrifugation. The purpose of such a setting is to facilitate adjusting the centrifugal state of different axes and improving the application range; a support plate 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the plug 12, and the graphite ring 2 is fixedly connected to the support plate 13.

[0030] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a cantilever 41 and a positioning disk 42. The number of positioning disks 42 is at least five, and the five positioning disks 42 are respectively installed at the bottom ends of the four cantilevers 41 and the bottom of the connecting arm 5. The five positioning disks 42 are used to clamp the spherical casting mold structure 3.

[0031] At least four frame arms 43 are fixedly installed on the concave surface of the positioning disk 42. A clamping plate 44 is rotatably connected to the outside of the frame arms 43 through bearings. The clamping plate 44 is arranged in an arc shape. A plurality of ball structures are installed on the side of the clamping plate 44 away from the positioning disk 42. The ball structures are used to fit the spherical casting mold structure 3; it can be understood that the recessed part 33 can rotate around the frame arms 43 as the axis; The ball structure includes a semi-circular cover 46 and a spherical ball 47. The semi-circular cover 46 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 44. The spherical ball 47 is rotatably connected in the semi-circular chamber of the semi-circular cover 46, that is, there is a semi-circular chamber inside the semi-circular cover 46. The spherical ball 47 is stuck in the inner cavity of the semi-circular cover 46 and cannot break away, and at the same time keeps rotating in the inner cavity of the semi-circular cover 46. Its state is similar to a spherical joint or a spherical bearing joint; the surface of the semi-circular cover 46 in contact with the spherical ball 47 is kept smooth or a low-friction material is selected, so as to facilitate rolling; An external tension spring 48 is installed between multiple clamping plates 44 mounted on the concave surface of the positioning disc 42. The external tension spring 48 includes a tension spring made of nickel-titanium memory alloy, Inconel-based high-temperature elastic alloy, or high-temperature stainless steel spring steel, aiming to be heat-resistant. The high-temperature stainless steel spring steel includes SUS631 and 17-7PH, and the Inconel-based high-temperature elastic alloy includes Inconel X-750. The function of the external tension spring 48 is to tighten multiple clamping plates 44, and during the process of the clamping mechanism 4 clamping the spherical casting mold structure 3, the fastening performance is improved. Specifically, the required clamping force can be adjusted according to actual needs. Additionally, in practical applications, the spring section 452 can also be made of the same heat-resistant material as the external tension spring 48 to extend the service life of the device. A spring push arm 45 is installed at the bottom of the positioning disc 42. The spring push arm 45 is used to push the clamping plate 44 to contact the outer wall of the spherical casting mold structure 3. A prefabricated chute 49 is provided on the outer wall of the clamping plate 44. The surface of the prefabricated chute 49 in contact with the pressure sensor 454 can also be made of relatively smooth or low-friction material to extend the service life. The function of the spring push arm 45 is to improve the multi-directional stability during the centrifugal rotation of the spherical casting mold structure 3.

[0032] The spring push arm 45 includes a base 451. The base 451 is fixedly connected to the positioning disc 42. A push arm 453 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the base 451. A spring section 452 for pushing the push arm 453 is installed in the inner cavity of the base 451. A pressure sensor 454 is installed at the end of the push arm 453. The pressure sensor 454 includes a heat-resistant pressure sensor such as a ceramic pressure sensor or a high-temperature piezoelectric pressure sensor.

[0033] The spherical casting mold structure 3 includes at least two mold shells 31. After the two mold shells 31 are combined, a circular structure is formed. A recess 33 is provided at the joint of one mold shell 31, and a protrusion 32 is installed at the joint of the other mold shell 31. The two mold shells 31 are engaged with each other through the protrusion 32 and the recess 33. Additionally, a gasket made of graphite or ceramic fiber material can be installed at the joint to reduce the leakage of the molten casting liquid in practical applications.

[0034] A through-shaped installation groove is provided between two formwork shells 31. The through-shaped installation groove is composed of a first positioning groove 34 and a second positioning groove 35, and the first positioning groove 34 communicates with the second positioning groove 35. The diameter of the second positioning groove 35 is larger than that of the first positioning groove 34. After the installation grooves between the two formwork shells 31 are aligned, an externally threaded positioning rod 36 and an internally threaded positioning sleeve 37 are installed in the through groove, and the externally threaded positioning rod 36 is threadedly connected to the internally threaded positioning sleeve 37. Cross-shaped screw caps are installed at the ends of both the externally threaded positioning rod 36 and the internally threaded positioning sleeve 37. After the externally threaded positioning rod 36 and the internally threaded positioning sleeve 37 are tightened, the cross-shaped screw caps are stuck in the inner cavity of the second positioning groove 35, and a first filling plug 38 is inserted into the inner cavity of the second positioning groove 35; As Figure 10 shown, first, the threaded structure of the externally threaded positioning rod 36 and the internally threaded positioning sleeve 37 is not drawn in the figure for the clarity of viewing the picture. The threaded structure is a bolt part in the prior art, etc. After the externally threaded positioning rod 36 is threadedly connected to the internally threaded positioning sleeve 37, the effect of fastening the two formwork shells 31 is achieved. The first filling plug 38 can be made of the same mold material as the formwork shell 31, or ceramic fiber material, graphite material, etc. After being used for plugging, the circular structure of the formwork shell 31 can be kept intact.

[0035] Semicircular mold cores 39 are installed in the inner cavities of the two formwork shells 31 respectively. As Figure 6 shown, a liquid injection port 310 is eccentrically provided at the top of the formwork shell 31, and a second filling plug 311 is plugged into the inner cavity of the liquid injection port 310 in a plug-in or threaded connection manner. Figure 6 The position of the liquid injection port 310 shown is eccentric with the positioning disk 42 as the axis, because the position of the installation groove needs to be avoided to reduce the probability of liquid leakage. When the second filling plug 311 is plugged into the inner cavity of the liquid injection port 310 in a threaded connection manner, corresponding threaded grooves can be opened at the holes of the liquid injection port 310 to achieve the "plugging method of threaded connection".

[0036] After the two formwork shells 31 are installed with each other, the molten casting metal liquid is poured between the two mold cores 39 or the whole mold with the molten casting metal liquid is clamped; In addition, as Figure 9 shown, Figure 9 In [figure number not specified], the seams of the two formwork shells 31 can be seen, but the reason why the seams of the two mold cores 39 cannot be seen is that when the two formwork shells 31 clamp the two mold cores 39, the seam positions can be deflected to reduce the coincidence of the seams, thereby reducing liquid leakage; In addition, the shape of the mold core 39 can be directly designed as the core of the required mold, so that the mold core 39 itself is the core of the mold. When the molten casting metal is centrifuged, it can be directly poured into the two mold cores 39; In addition, there is also an application method. The two mold cores 39 can be understood as a clamping core structure, which is used to clamp the mold that needs to be centrifuged, and at the same time, the mold is filled with molten casting metal liquid.

[0037] It should be further explained that in actual application, the molten casting metal is poured between the two core dies 39, or the entire mold with the molten casting metal is clamped and fixed by the two core dies 39. The two core dies 39 are clamped and fixed by the two mold shells 31, and the external thread positioning rod 36 is threadedly connected to the internal thread positioning sleeve 37 to achieve the effect of fixing the two mold shells 31. At the same time, the filling plug 1 38 is blocked in the inner cavity of the positioning groove 2 35, so that the two mold shells 31 form a complete circular structure; in addition, if it is not necessary to add molten casting metal secondly after fixing, in the actual production process, the solution with the liquid injection port 310 and the filling plug 2 311 can also be cancelled; for the liquid injection port 310 and the filling plug 2 311, in order to facilitate the operation of adding molten casting metal or exhausting air, etc., a slotted screwdriver head in the shape of a straight line or a cross can also be opened at the top of the filling plug 2 311; Immediately afterwards, the mold shell 31 is clamped between multiple positioning discs 42. The clamping force of the clamping plate 44 is pushed by the spring push arm 45 and the external tension spring 48 to achieve the effect of clamping the mold shell 31. Utilizing the rolling characteristics of the spherical balls 47, the effect of simulating a "bearing" is formed, so that the mold shell 31 is conducive to rotating and centrifuging between the multiple positioning discs 42; at the same time, after centrifugation ends at a certain stage, the position of the mold shell 31 can be adjusted to achieve the effect of adjusting the centrifugal rotation axis; During centrifugal rotation, the driving motor 1 drives the first mold shell table 9, the second mold shell table 10, and the mold shell frame 11 to rotate, so that the insertion block 12 drives the support plate 13 and the graphite ring 2 to rotate. When the graphite ring 2 rotates, the spherical casting mold structure 3 is driven to rotate centrifugally in the clamping mechanism 4 by means of friction; after centrifugal rotation ends, the spherical casting mold structure 3 is pushed upward to achieve the effect of extruding the hydraulic rod 6, thereby reserving space for disassembling the spherical casting mold structure 3, and the centrifugal rotation can be completed.

[0038] In addition, this solution also includes constructing a motor speed control model based on the clamping pressure feedback through the pressure sensor 454 to regulate the rotation speed of the driving motor 1; It should be noted in this solution that positioning discs 42 are provided around and on the top of the spherical casting mold structure 3, that is, there are 5 positioning discs 42. Each positioning disc 42 is equipped with four clamping plates 44. Each clamping plate 44 corresponds to a spring push arm 45, and each spring push arm 45 corresponds to a pressure sensor 454, that is, there are 4 pressure sensors 454. Finally, each spherical casting mold structure 3 includes at least 4 * 5 = 20 pressure sensors 454 for pressure monitoring and regulation; In the formula structure involved in this scheme, dimensionless terms can be used as proportional or structural adjustment factors. When combined with quantities with units, they only play a role in numerical scaling without introducing new physical dimensions, so they will not change or confuse the unit system of the overall expression. This combination of "dimensionless terms and units" can be understood as a composite structural expression commonly used in mathematical and physical modeling, which conforms to the principle of dimensional consistency and has a clear physical interpretation basis. Secondly, in the formula structure of this scheme, if multiple variables with different physical units are involved, including but not limited to time, mass or energy variables, their joint appearance is to express the collaborative modeling relationship of multiple physical mechanisms. Each variable forms a unified structure through function mapping, ratio combination or normalization adjustment, with clear units and meanings, and the overall expression conforms to the principle of dimensional consistency and the common formula of engineering modeling; The motor speed control model based on clamping pressure feedback includes: ; in Indicates the speed value of drive motor 1 finally output by the motor speed control model, in rpm; is a reference speed value. In practical applications, the reference speed value can be used to preset the initial speed according to the selected metal material and the mass of the spherical casting mold structure 3, and the unit is rpm; The three control weight factors are used to coordinate the influence of the three variables on the output speed. In practical applications, the control weight factors can be adjusted according to the proportional constants fitted by the experimental results. The clamping symmetry offset term It is expressed as: ; in For the The average pressure value currently measured by the four pressure sensors 454 installed on the positioning plate 42 is in N. In the above formula, it represents the average clamping force of the spherical casting mold structure 3 at this location; is the maximum average clamping pressure value among the five positioning plates 42, indicating the tightest clamping position; is the minimum average clamping pressure value among the five positioning disks 42, indicating the loosest clamping position; It represents the arithmetic mean of the clamping average pressure of all five positioning plates 42, in N, and the calculation method includes: ; Clamping symmetry offset item It is an indicator to measure whether the five-point clamping is uniform and symmetrical. The larger the value of , the more uneven the clamping force is, which means that the spherical casting mold structure 3 has an eccentricity tendency; Clamping disturbance intensity term Expressed as: ; Where is the th instantaneous pressure value collected by the th pressure sensor 454 in the th positioning disk 42 at the current moment, with the unit of N; is the pressure value recorded by this pressure sensor 454 at the previous moment ; represents the fluctuation amplitude of the clamping pressure at this point; in the formula, the sum of 20 points is averaged and then taken to the power of 1.5 to construct a disturbance-enhanced response function, where the power of 1.5 is used to strengthen the significance of medium disturbances, and the unit remains "dimensionless relative disturbance coefficient"; the clamping disturbance intensity term represents the overall oscillation degree of the clamping system, the larger the value of , the more unstable the dynamic clamping force, and it is necessary to reduce the speed of the drive motor 1 to buffer the disturbance; in addition refers to a total of 20 pressure sensors 454; The structural clamping response index ; where the response speed term of the spring push arm 45 is expressed as ; ; Where represents the instantaneous speed of pressure change of a single pressure sensor 454 under the action of the spring section 452 of its corresponding spring push arm 45, with the unit of N / s; after taking the absolute value of all and averaging, the overall response speed is simulated; the higher the value of , the more sensitive the response of the spring section 452, and the better the clamping followability, then the speed of the drive motor 1 should be appropriately increased; As the tension asymmetry index of the external pull spring 48 ; has the same formula expression form as , but here it is explained from the perspective of the system tension structure; is used to describe the simultaneous tightening of the four clamping plates 44. If the symmetry is poor, that is, it is clamped tighter in a certain direction, it will cause the system tension field to tilt, and the speed should be appropriately reduced and wait for the system to reconstruct the clamping stable area; Where the larger the value of , the better the system responsiveness and the more stable the clamping tension, and the speed of the drive motor 1 can be appropriately increased; In the present invention, the rotational speed adjustment of the drive motor 1 is based on the symmetry of the clamping mechanism 4. When the clamping force distribution of the five positioning disks 42 on the spherical casting mold structure 3 is eccentric, that is, when it is significantly too tight or too loose in any direction, by calculating the maximum and minimum deviation rates of the average clamping pressure value, to express, and immediately determine the mold eccentricity trend; if the value is on the high side, the system automatically reduces the output rotational speed of the drive motor 1 to avoid uneven solidification of the molten metal caused by the deflection or asymmetric rotation of the mold during the centrifugal process; Meanwhile, this solution also continuously monitors the historical pressure jump amplitude of all 20 pressure sensors 454, and expresses it with the clamping disturbance intensity term ; when the clamping state is unstable and the pressure value fluctuates violently, it is determined that the mold or the spherical casting mold structure 3 may experience instantaneous sliding, jitter or position offset during centrifugal rotation. Therefore, the speed of the drive motor 1 is correspondingly reduced to ensure stable operation of the centrifugal process under disturbance conditions and avoid grain structure damage; On the contrary, if the action of the spring push arm 45 on the clamping plate 44 shows uniform and rapid pressure response in all directions, and the overall tension distribution of the clamping structure connected by the external tension spring 48 is stable, by calculating the structure clamping response index to confirm that the clamping structure has high responsiveness and high symmetry. At this time, the rotational speed of the drive motor 1 is allowed to be appropriately increased to obtain a stronger centrifugal effect, thereby promoting the formation of more uniform grains in the molten casting metal in the spherical casting mold structure 3.

[0039] In addition, in practical applications, the power cable bundle of the drive motor 1 of this solution can be installed outside the box body 7, introduced through a high-temperature resistant braided shielded wire and fixed in a stationary area near the drive motor 1 to avoid rotational disturbance; the pressure sensors 454 are powered by independent batteries and encapsulated in high-temperature resistant housings, and wireless data transmission is achieved by combining Bluetooth Mesh or high-frequency radio frequency protocols. All sensor signals are centrally decoded and processed by an external receiving module, so as to achieve reliable power supply and communication in an environment of high temperature, high speed and clamping interference; in practical applications, the pressure sensors 454 transmit the collected data to an external receiving module in real time wirelessly, and the receiving module generates a control signal according to the model calculation result and feeds it back to the drive motor 1 to adjust its rotational speed; The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
