[0002] Sand casting refers to a casting method for producing castings in a sand mold. Steel, iron and most non-ferrous alloy castings can be obtained by sand casting method. Because the molding material used in sand casting is cheap and easy to obtain, the mold manufacturing is simple, and it can adapt to single piece production, batch production and mass production of castings. When producing valve housings through sand casting, the valve housings casted need to use a shakeout equipment to separate the sand inside and on the surface of the valve housing from the valve housing.

[0003] When the valve housing is shaken out by the vibration conveying type shakeout equipment, the valve housing is usually placed on the shakeout equipment first, and then the sand inside and on the surface of the valve housing is separated from the valve housing by vibration of the shakeout equipment during conveying of the housing.

[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a valve housing casting shakeout equipment, including the bottom plate 1, the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with a shakeout box 4 through a plurality of support legs, a plurality of air outlets are formed on the front and rear inner walls of the shakeout box 4, a vibration unit 5 is installed on the front and rear surfaces of the shakeout box 4, a conveying unit 2 for conveying sand is arranged below the shakeout box 4 (a common belt conveyor is used in the invention to convey sand), a shakeout mechanism 6 for shakeout of the valve housing is arranged on the shakeout box 4, and an auxiliary mechanism 7 for auxiliary cleaning of the sand stored in the valve housing is arranged on the outside of the shakeout box 4.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the shakeout mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 61 fixedly installed on the right side of the shakeout box 4, a plurality of conveying rollers 63 are uniformly distributed in a stepped manner along the left-right direction inside the shakeout box 4, the upper surface, the lower surface and the left side of the shakeout box 4 are all open, a discharge plate 3 with the left end inclined downward is fixedly installed on the left side of the shakeout box 4, the right end of the discharge plate 3 is located below the leftmost conveying roller 63, the cross section of the conveying roller 63 in the left-right direction is in the shape of a cam, a plurality of grooves are uniformly formed on the outer surface of the conveying roller 63, the conveying roller 63 is penetratingly and rotatably connected with the shakeout box 4 at both ends, the two ends of the conveying roller 63 located outside the shakeout box 4 are both provided with a buffer 64 for transmission between the plurality of conveying rollers 63, a plurality of staggered distribution of the push plates 8 are arranged on the front and rear inner walls of the shakeout box 4 corresponding to the stepped distribution of the conveying rollers 63, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the push plate 8 and the inner wall of the shakeout box 4, and the push plate 8 is in an inclined state under normal conditions.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the auxiliary mechanism 7 includes a special-shaped conveying pipe 71 fixedly installed on the shakeout box 4, and the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 is provided with an adjusting piece 72 for controlling the intermittent air outlet of the air outlet.

[0037] In specific use, first, the valve housing completed by casting is placed into the shakeout box 4 from above the right end, at this time the vibration unit 5 works to generate vibration, the drive motor 61 drives the conveying roller 63 to rotate through the buffer 64 to convey the valve housing in the inside of the shakeout box 4 from right to left, cooperating with the cam shape of the conveying roller 63, when conveying the valve housing, the valve housing itself generates intermittent displacement in the up-down direction, at the same time, the stepped distribution of the conveying roller 63 can adjust the valve housing at any position after falling through the step difference when conveying the valve housing to the left through the step connection position, so that the sand in the valve housing can be more thoroughly dropped out.

[0038] Meanwhile, the external air pump device continuously supplies air to the inside of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 through the right end of the auxiliary mechanism 7, and the air is intermittently blown out of the air outlet holes on the shakeout box 4 in cooperation with the adjusting part 72. The air is pressurized for a short time before being blown out, so that the blowing force of the air is greater. During the conveying of the valve housing, the position of the valve housing can be adjusted when the valve housing passes the toggle plate 8, so that the air blown out of the air outlet holes on the shakeout box 4 can blow into different hole positions of the valve housing. During the conveying of the valve housing, the sand on the valve housing falls downward through the conveying rollers 63 to the conveying unit 2, and the sand is conveyed to the right by the conveying unit 2 for unified recovery. After the valve housing moves to the leftmost end of the shakeout box 4, it slides downward through the discharge plate 3 for unified collection.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the buffer 64 includes a rotating disc 644 fixedly connected to the conveying roller 63. Two symmetrical mounting grooves are formed in the circumferential surface of the rotating disc 644 (not fully shown in the figure). A limiting slide rod 643 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove. A connecting slide block 642 is slidingly connected to the circumferential surface of the limiting slide rod 643. A double-row gear 641 is rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating disc 644.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the two double-row gears 641 adjacent to each other are connected through a chain transmission. The output shaft of the driving motor 61 is fixedly connected with a toothed disc, which is connected with the rightmost double-row gear 641 through a chain transmission. The front and back surfaces of the shakeout box 4 are fixedly provided with a protection shell 62 for protecting the chain at positions corresponding to the double-row gears 641. The inner circumferential surface of the double-row gear 641 is fixedly connected with the two connecting slide blocks 642. A return spring is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the limiting slide rod 643.

[0041] In specific use, when the conveying roller 63 is driven to rotate by the buffer 64, the plurality of double-row gears 641 are connected through a chain transmission, so that the plurality of conveying rollers 63 rotate synchronously inside the shakeout box 4. During the rotation of the conveying roller 63, the separated large pieces of sand are crushed through the grooves on the conveying roller 63. Then the sand falls along the gap between the conveying rollers 63. When the conveying roller 63 rotates and conveys the valve housing to the left, the protruding part on the conveying roller 63 contacts the valve housing, which pushes the valve housing to move upward. When the protruding part moves away from the valve housing, the valve housing moves downward. The upward and downward vibration separates the sand in the valve housing more thoroughly.

[0042] When the protrusions on the conveying rollers 63 come into contact with the valve housing, the valve housing will generate resistance to the conveying rollers 63 due to its own weight, and since the valve housing is irregularly shaped, the protrusions of the plurality of conveying rollers 63 will not come into contact with the valve housing at the same time, at this time, the double gear 641 continues to rotate to drive the connecting slider 642 to slide on the limiting slide rod 643, and the return spring is compressed, when the connecting slider 642 slides to the other end of the limiting slide rod 643, the connecting slider abuts against one end of the installation groove on the rotating disc 644, as the double gear 641 continues to rotate, at this time, the double gear 641 starts to drive the rotating disc 644 to rotate, the rotating disc 644 drives the conveying roller 63 to rotate, at the same time, the valve housing is pushed upward by the protrusions on the conveying roller 63, the conveying rollers 63 at different positions come into contact with the valve housing at different time points, the double gear 641 drives the conveying roller 63 to start to rotate at different time points, and the protrusions of the conveying rollers 63 at different positions start to push the valve housing at different time points, therefore, the valve housing can move irregularly in the upward and downward directions during conveying, and the sand can be separated from the valve housing more quickly.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the adjusting piece 72 includes two groups of push rods 722 uniformly distributed on the front and rear surfaces of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71, one end of each push rod 722 close to the center of the sand box 4 penetrates into the inside of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 and is fixedly connected with a convex plug 724, and one end of each group of push rods 722 away from the center of the sand box 4 is fixedly connected with a linkage plate 721, a plurality of electric push rods 723 are fixedly connected below the linkage plate 721 on the sand box 4, the extension end of the electric push rod 723 is fixedly connected with the linkage plate 721 through a connecting sheet, an interface connected with an external air pump is arranged on the right upper surface of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71, the small-diameter end of the convex plug 724 is adapted in size to the size of the air outlet hole arranged on the sand box 4, and the positions of the plurality of convex plugs 724 correspond to the positions of the plurality of air outlet holes arranged on the sand box 4 one by one.

[0044] In specific use, when the gas is continuously conveyed into the inside of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 through the interface on the special-shaped conveying pipe 71, at this time, the electric push rod 723 is retracted to drive the linkage plate 721 to move towards the special-shaped conveying pipe 71, at this time, the small-diameter end of the convex plug 724 is inserted into the inside of the air outlet hole on the sand box 4, the air is continuously conveyed into the inside of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71, at this time, the air pressure in the inside of the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 gradually increases, the electric push rod 723 is extended, the convex plug 724 is pulled away from the air outlet hole by the linkage plate 721 cooperating with the push rod 722, at this time, the high-pressure gas is rapidly sprayed through the air outlet hole and blown on the valve housing, part of the air enters into the inside of the valve housing through the opening on the valve housing to blow out the sand inside.

[0045] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 illustrated, a valve housing casting shakeout method, using a shakeout device to shake out the valve housing, comprising the following steps: S1, first, the cast valve housing is placed into the right end from above the shakeout box 4, at this time the vibration unit 5 works to generate vibration, the drive motor 61 drives the conveying roller 63 to rotate through the buffer 64 to convey the valve housing left inside the shakeout box 4.

[0046] S2, at this time, the external air pump device continuously inputs air into the special-shaped conveying pipe 71 through the right end interface of the auxiliary mechanism 7, and the adjusting piece 72 intermittently opens the air outlet hole of the shakeout box 4, so that the air is pressurized for a short time before being blown out, so that the air blowing force is greater.

[0047] S3, during the conveying process, by the setting of the push plate 8, the position of the valve housing can be adjusted when the valve housing passes through the push plate 8, so that the air blown out of the air outlet hole of the shakeout box 4 can be blown into different hole positions of the valve housing.

[0048] S4, during the conveying process of the valve housing, the sand on the valve housing falls downward to the conveying unit 2 through the conveying roller 63, and the sand is conveyed to the right for unified recovery through the conveying unit 2, and the valve housing moves to the leftmost end of the shakeout box 4 and then slides downward through the discharge plate 3 for unified collection.
