[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention: This sand core transfer equipment is specifically designed for the sand core transfer needs of intelligent casting islands, effectively resolving many of the drawbacks of traditional equipment in the casting process. Its unique support structure, through the combination of a swing plate and a support plate, and driven by an electric cylinder, can flexibly adjust the support angle according to the irregular shape of the sand core, allowing the support plate to fit closely to the outer surface of the sand core. The softness and variability of the support airbags allow for full contact with the irregular outer surface of the sand core, creating multiple contact support points and forming a wrap-around support state. Under the condition of multiple force points, the sand core remains highly stable during transfer, effectively avoiding problems such as shaking, tilting, and damage, significantly improving transfer reliability and ensuring continuous and stable production on the intelligent casting island.
[0015] The ingenious design of the pressure-limiting structure enables precise control of the supporting force. When the supporting airbag contacts and squeezes the sand core, gas is introduced into the closed cylinder to push the piston to compress the extrusion spring. The circuit structure composed of the electrode ring, electrode cap and indicator light monitors the deformation of the supporting airbag in real time. When the deformation reaches the set value, the indicator light lights up, intuitively displaying the extrusion contact status, ensuring that the supporting force is appropriate, preventing excessive force from damaging the sand core or insufficient force from causing support failure. At the same time, it provides clear visual feedback to the operator, facilitating timely adjustment and monitoring of the transfer process, improving transfer safety, and further improving the production efficiency and product quality of the intelligent casting island.
[0016] The supporting pallet adopts a replaceable structure and can be quickly replaced according to the shape of the sand core to meet the diversified transportation needs of the intelligent casting island. After the transfer is completed, the flip structure can be completely turned over to pour out the waste slag. The body surface is smooth and easy to clean, which improves the equipment maintenance efficiency, reduces the cleaning and maintenance time and labor costs, ensures the long-term stable operation of the equipment, and adapts to the high-intensity production rhythm of the intelligent casting island.
[0017] The electrode ring's special design allows the electrode cap to pass through, leaving space for the piston to move. Under the restoring force of the extrusion spring, any swinging motion during transfer acts as a buffer, shielding the sand core from direct impact, protecting its integrity, and reducing the risk of damage. This improves product qualification and transfer quality, enabling the Smart Casting Island to achieve high-quality casting production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the present invention is a sand core transport device, comprising: a vehicle body 1, a liftable support plate 4 is mounted above the vehicle body 1, and support structures 2 for supporting the sand core body 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the support plate 4; when transporting the sand core, for large sand core molding pieces, a vehicle is required to assist in the transport process, and the placement posture of the sand core is ensured during the transport process, and the support structure 2 is used to support and limit the position; The supporting structure 2 includes a swing plate 28. A vertical support frame 21 is fixed in parallel on the top side of the vehicle body 1. A swing plate 28 is rotatably installed between the two support frames 21 through a pin shaft, which can achieve a certain swing angle of the swing plate 28, and can better correspond the supporting direction of the supporting plate 31 to the outer side of the transported sand core body 5. The side of the swing plate 28 is equipped with an electric cylinder 30. The end of the action rod of the electric cylinder 30 passes through the swing plate 28, and the action end of the electric cylinder 30 is fixed with a supporting plate 31. The supporting plate 31 is used to support the sand core body 5. Under the action of the electric cylinder 30, the supporting plate 31 can be pushed close to the sand core body 5 to achieve auxiliary support. A supporting airbag 32 is attached to the bottom side of the supporting plate 31. The supporting airbag 32 is in direct contact with the outer side wall of the sand core body 5. The softness and variability of the supporting airbag 32 allow for better contact with the outer side of the irregular sand core body 5, thereby creating more contact support points without causing direct collision damage to the sand core body 5. See also Figure 6 、 Figure 8 As shown, a pressure limiting structure 33 is fixed on the top side of the supporting plate 31, and the pressure limiting structure 33 includes a closed cylinder 338. A communicating air hole 332 is opened at the bottom of the closed cylinder 338. The communicating air hole 332 is connected to the supporting air bag 32 through an air pipe. By providing the air pipe, the communication between the supporting air bag 32 and the closed cylinder 338 can be achieved. After the supporting air bag 32 contacts the sand core body 5, as the supporting plate 31 is pushed, the supporting air bag 32 is squeezed and deformed, which can produce a wrapping supporting state for the sand core body 5, thereby avoiding damage to the sand core body 5. At the same time, because the supporting air bag 32 has more force points or force surfaces on the outside of the sand core body 5, the sand core body 5 can be more stable under the multi-point force state. The top of the closed cylinder 338 is provided with a rod hole, in which a movable rod 331 is slidably installed. The bottom end of the movable rod 331 is fixed with a piston 333. The outer wall of the piston 333 slides tightly against the inner wall of the closed cylinder 338, which can ensure that the closed cylinder 338 is located at the bottom space of the piston 333 and the supporting airbag 32 to form an integral space, thereby preventing the inherent gas in the supporting airbag 32 from overflowing. The periphery of the movable rod 331 is provided with an extrusion spring 334. The top of the extrusion spring 334 is fixed to the top inner wall of the closed cylinder 338, and the bottom end of the extrusion spring 334 is fixed to the top side of the piston 333. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the gas in the supporting airbag 32 will be introduced into the closed cylinder 338. The volume content of the gas in the cavity at the bottom of the piston 333 will increase, which can push the piston 333 upward, thereby compressing the extrusion spring 334. The extrusion spring 334 generates a restoring elastic force, which can provide thrust for the subsequent return stroke of the piston 333.
[0022] A guide cylinder 335 is fixed to the top of the closed cylinder 338. An electrode ring 336 is provided on the inner wall of the guide cylinder 335. An electrode cap 337 is fixed to the top of the movable rod 331. The circumferential surface of the electrode cap 337 is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the electrode ring 336. An indicator light 39 is mounted on the swing plate 28. The electrode cap 337, electrode ring 336, and indicator light 39 are connected to a storage battery to form a circuit. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the degree to which it is wrapped is determined by its deformation. For different sand core bodies 5, the support and deformation positions are different, but the amount of gas required to be squeezed out is guaranteed to be consistent, which can also ensure the support limit of different sand core bodies 5.
[0023] Two positioning holes are provided on the swing plate 28, and the two positioning holes are respectively located on both sides of the electric cylinder 30. Two limit rods 29 are fixed on the top side of the support plate 31, and the limit rods 29 are slidably set inside the positioning holes, which can ensure that the swing plate 28 and the support plate 31 are parallel structures. When the angle of the swing plate 28 is adjusted, the angle of the support plate 31 is adjusted.
[0024] When in use, the angle of the support plate 31 is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the swing plate 28. Under the action of the electric cylinder 30, the support plate 31 can be pushed close to the sand core body 5 to achieve auxiliary support. As the supporting plate 31 advances, the supporting airbag 32 directly contacts the outer side wall of the sand core body 5. By utilizing the softness and variability of the supporting airbag 32, it can better contact the outer side of the irregular sand core body 5 and generate more contact support points. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts the sand core body 5, as the supporting plate 31 is pushed, the supporting airbag 32 is squeezed and deformed, which can wrap the sand core body 5 to support it, thereby preventing damage to the sand core body 5. At the same time, because the supporting airbag 32 has more force points or force surfaces on the outside of the sand core body 5, the sand core body 5 can be more stable under the multi-point force state. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the degree of its wrapping is determined by its deformation. For different sand core bodies 5, the support and deformation positions are different, but the amount of gas required to be squeezed out is guaranteed to be the same, which can also ensure the support limit of different sand core bodies 5. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the gas in the supporting airbag 32 will be introduced into the closed cylinder 338. The volume of the gas in the cavity at the bottom of the piston 333 will increase, which can push the piston 333 upward, thereby compressing the extrusion spring 334. When the piston 333 moves upward, as the movable rod 331 rises, the electrode cap 337 at the end of the movable rod 331 gradually approaches the electrode ring 336. When the deformation of the supporting airbag 32 reaches the set value, the electrode cap 337 should contact the electrode ring 336, so that the indicator light 39 is powered on and flashes. Conversely, the power-on state of the indicator light 39 can ensure that the supporting airbag 32 and the sand core body 5 are in an extruded contact state, so that the supporting force of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 will not cause damage to the sand core body 5, and the supporting force of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 is effective, thereby ensuring a better supporting effect and at the same time ensuring the integrity of the sand core body 5 and reducing damage to the sand core body 5 due to transportation. At the same time, the electrode ring 336 is set to a ring structure through which the electrode cap 337 can pass. When swinging occurs, the piston 333 can have room to move. Under the restoring force of the extrusion spring 334, a buffer space can be left for swinging during transportation, which can better prevent the sand core body 5 from being directly impacted by the force and better protect the sand core body 5 during transportation. Furthermore, when the supporting airbag 32 is used as the supporting structure, its surface is relatively smooth. When there is no clamping operation, it is relatively easy to clean the smooth surface of the supporting airbag 32, and supporting residues on the surface will affect subsequent supporting operations.
[0025] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the supporting structure 2 also includes a telescopic column 24, the interior of the telescopic column 24 is provided with a lifting spring 35 along the central axis, and a lifting rod 34 is vertically inserted into the central hole of the telescopic column 24, and the top of the lifting spring 35 is fixed to the bottom end face of the lifting rod 34, and a vertical limiting hole 38 is opened on the top circumferential wall of the telescopic column 24, and a sliding screw 37 perpendicular to the lifting rod 34 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting rod 34, and the sliding screw 37 is slidably arranged in the limiting hole 38, and the lifting spring 35 of the limiting hole 38 is set with a certain pre-tightening force, which can push the sliding screw 37 to the highest point of the limiting hole 38 during the natural extension of the lifting spring 35, and the sliding screw 37 is rotatably assembled with a locking nut 36, which is located on the outer wall of the telescopic column 24. The positioning of the sliding screw 37 can be achieved by rotating and squeezing the locking nut 36.
[0026] See also Figure 6 As shown, a sliding hole 23 is opened on the support frame 21, and the sliding rod 22 is arranged horizontally, and the two ends of the sliding rod 22 are respectively slidably set in the two sliding holes 23. A connecting seat 27 is fixed to the bottom side of the swing plate 28. A connecting member 26 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 27 through a pin shaft. The top of the lifting rod 34 is cross-connected with the middle part of the sliding rod 22. A connecting sleeve 25 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 22, and the other end of the connecting member 26 is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting sleeve 25. When in use, in order to adjust the supporting angle of the sand core body 5, the locking nut 36 is released by rotating, and the lifting rod 34 is pushed upward with the cooperation of the pre-tightening rebound force of the limit hole 38, so that the sliding rod 22 can slide in the sliding hole 23. When the sliding rod 22 moves upward, the locking nut 36 can be used to adjust the angle between the swing plate 28 and the support frame 21, thereby changing the angle of the swing plate 28 to adjust the angle of the supporting plate 31. After the angle is adjusted, the locking nut 36 is rotated, and the lifting rod 34 is inside the telescopic column 24, and the locking nut 36 is outside the telescopic column 24. The lifting rod 34 can be suspended with the cooperation of rotation and extrusion to adjust the supporting angle. Since the sand core body 5 to be used is the same structure, it basically does not require reciprocating high-frequency adjustment after application adjustment.
[0027] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, jacking cylinders 3 are vertically installed at the four corners of the bottom side of the vehicle body 1, and the top ends of the action rods of the four jacking cylinders 3 are used to support and connect the four corners of the same support plate 4; the height of the support plate 4 can be uniformly adjusted through the coordinated operation of the four jacking cylinders 3, so as to better adapt to the transportation operation of the sand core body 5; A flip structure 7 is installed inside the support plate 4, and the flip structure 7 includes a flip plate 71. A flip groove 79 is opened inside the support plate 4, and the flip plate 71 is rotatably installed in the flip groove 79 through the damping shaft 76. Assembly grooves are opened at both ends of the vehicle body 1, and the ends of the damping shaft 76 are both installed in the assembly grooves. A turbine 75 is installed on the outside of one end of the damping shaft 76, and the turbine 75 is located in the assembly groove.
[0028] See also Figure 7 As shown, a mounting bracket 77 is mounted on the bottom side of the support plate 4. The mounting bracket 77 is located below the assembly slot. A flip motor 78 is mounted on the bottom side of the mounting bracket 77. The output shaft of the flip motor 78 passes through the mounting bracket 77. A worm 710 is fixed to the output shaft of the mounting bracket 77. The worm 75 and the worm 710 are engaged with each other for transmission. When the sand core body 5 is supported, a supporting plate 74 matching the sand core body 5 is installed on the surface of the flip plate 71, which can provide a relatively matching support structure for the hoisting and placement of the sand core body 5; Since the present structure is applied to the bearing of different sand core bodies 5, based on the supporting device of this case, in order to achieve stable supporting operation, when the relatively flat surface of the sand core is used as the supporting force surface, it is most stable. When it is necessary to adjust the relatively flat surface of the sand core body 5 to correspond to the surface of the supporting airbag 32, it is necessary to control the operation of the flip motor 78 to drive the operation of the worm 710, which can drive the turbine 75 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the flip plate 71 with the cooperation of the damping shaft 76. During the flipping process, intermittent adjustment is realized, and the flipping angle of the flip plate 71 is determined by slow calibration to ensure the supporting effect of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 and the stable effect of transportation. And because the sand core body 5 is inherently a fragile structure, debris and residue are likely to remain in the support plate 74 during transportation. When cleaning is required, the flip groove 79 can be completely flipped to completely pour out the remaining waste, and then the waste on the smooth surface of the car body 1 can be collected and processed to improve cleaning efficiency.
[0029] See also Figure 4 As shown, the top side of the flip plate 71 is provided with a mounting screw hole, and the top side of the flip plate 71 is equipped with a support plate 74. The two ends of the support plate 74 are respectively fixed with connecting ears 73, and the mounting holes of the connecting ears 73 correspond to the mounting screw holes. The bottom end of the mounting screw 72 is rotated and assembled in the mounting screw hole, and the end cap of the mounting screw 72 is squeezed on the connecting ear 73, so that the support plate 74 is set to a replaceable structure, which can be used when transporting a multi-form sand core body 5, and can also be used for transporting a regular-form sand core body 5.
[0030] A controller 6 and a storage battery are installed on the vehicle body 1. The controller 6 is used to control the rotation of the supporting structure 2, the electric cylinder 30 and the flip motor 78. The controller 6 is also provided with a control program for the simultaneous operation of the four support frames 21, thereby realizing the power supply and control operation of the electrical equipment during the overall transportation, and there is a corresponding setting range for the deflection angle of the flip plate 71.
[0031] Working principle: In order to realize the transportation of the sand core body 5, the formed sand core body 5 is placed on the support plate 74. The surface of the flip plate 71 is equipped with a support plate 74 that matches the sand core body 5, which can provide a more matching support structure for the hoisting and placement of the sand core body 5; Since the present structure is applied to the bearing of different sand core bodies 5, based on the supporting device of this case, in order to achieve stable supporting operation, when the relatively flat surface of the sand core is used as the supporting force surface, it is most stable. When it is necessary to adjust the relatively flat surface of the sand core body 5 to correspond to the surface of the supporting airbag 32, it is necessary to control the operation of the flip motor 78 to drive the operation of the worm 710, which can drive the turbine 75 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the flip plate 71 with the cooperation of the damping shaft 76. During the flipping process, intermittent adjustment is realized, and the flipping angle of the flip plate 71 is determined by slow calibration to ensure the supporting effect of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 and the stable effect of transportation. And because the sand core body 5 is inherently a fragile structure, debris and residue are likely to remain in the support plate 74 during transportation. When cleaning is required, the flip groove 79 can be completely flipped to completely pour out the remaining waste, and then the waste on the smooth surface of the car body 1 can be collected and processed to improve cleaning efficiency.
[0032] When in use, in order to adjust the supporting angle of the sand core body 5, the locking nut 36 is released by rotating, and the lifting rod 34 is pushed upward under the cooperation of the pre-tightening rebound force of the limit hole 38, so that the sliding rod 22 can slide in the sliding hole 23. When the sliding rod 22 moves upward, the locking nut 36 can adjust the angle between the swing plate 28 and the support frame 21, thereby changing the angle of the swing plate 28 to adjust the angle of the supporting plate 31. After the angle is adjusted, the lifting rod 34 is inside the telescopic column 24 and the locking nut 36 is outside the telescopic column 24. Under the cooperation of rotation and extrusion, the lifting rod 34 can be suspended to achieve the adjustment of the supporting angle. Since the sand core body 5 to be used is the same structure, it basically does not require reciprocating high-frequency adjustment after application adjustment; When in use, the angle of the support plate 31 is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the swing plate 28. Under the action of the electric cylinder 30, the support plate 31 can be pushed close to the sand core body 5 to achieve auxiliary support. As the supporting plate 31 advances, the supporting airbag 32 directly contacts the outer side wall of the sand core body 5. By utilizing the softness and variability of the supporting airbag 32, it can better contact the outer side of the irregular sand core body 5 and generate more contact support points. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts the sand core body 5, as the supporting plate 31 is pushed, the supporting airbag 32 is squeezed and deformed, which can wrap the sand core body 5 to support it, thereby preventing damage to the sand core body 5. At the same time, because the supporting airbag 32 has more force points or force surfaces on the outside of the sand core body 5, the sand core body 5 can be more stable under the multi-point force state. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the degree of its wrapping is determined by its deformation. For different sand core bodies 5, the support and deformation positions are different, but the amount of gas required to be squeezed out is guaranteed to be the same, which can also ensure the support limit of different sand core bodies 5. After the supporting airbag 32 contacts and squeezes the sand core body 5, the gas in the supporting airbag 32 will be introduced into the closed cylinder 338. The volume of the gas in the cavity at the bottom of the piston 333 will increase, which can push the piston 333 upward, thereby compressing the extrusion spring 334. When the piston 333 moves upward, as the movable rod 331 rises, the electrode cap 337 at the end of the movable rod 331 gradually approaches the electrode ring 336. When the deformation of the supporting airbag 32 reaches the set value, the electrode cap 337 should contact the electrode ring 336, so that the indicator light 39 is powered on and flashes. Conversely, the power-on state of the indicator light 39 can ensure that the supporting airbag 32 and the sand core body 5 are in an extruded contact state, so that the supporting force of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 will not cause damage to the sand core body 5, and the supporting force of the supporting airbag 32 on the sand core body 5 is effective, thereby ensuring a better supporting effect and at the same time ensuring the integrity of the sand core body 5 and reducing damage to the sand core body 5 due to transportation. At the same time, the electrode ring 336 is set to a ring structure through which the electrode cap 337 can pass. When swinging occurs, the piston 333 can have room to move. Under the restoring force of the extrusion spring 334, a buffer space can be left for swinging during transportation, which can better prevent the sand core body 5 from being directly impacted by the force and better protect the sand core body 5 during transportation. Furthermore, when the supporting airbag 32 is used as the supporting structure, its surface is relatively smooth. When there is no clamping operation, it is relatively easy to clean the smooth surface of the supporting airbag 32, and supporting residues on the surface will affect subsequent supporting operations.
