Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting production equipment technology, and in particular to a fully automatic casting production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Fully automated casting production equipment is an important component of the modern casting industry, aiming to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance casting quality. Automated casting machines are responsible for pouring molten metal into molds, typically equipped with advanced control systems that automatically adjust pouring speed and temperature. 3D printing and CNC machining technologies are used to automatically manufacture casting molds, ensuring their precision and ability to handle complex shapes. A melting furnace is used to melt the metal; modern equipment commonly uses electric furnaces and induction furnaces, which have automatic temperature and melting time control functions. Robotic arms and conveyor belts are used to automatically remove and handle castings, reducing manual intervention. When die-casting aluminum alloy pots using high-strength, lightweight structural components, the thick-bottom, thin-wall design, combined with the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy, achieves the effect of less oil fumes from the thick bottom and uniform heating and rapid heat conduction from the thin walls. High-purity food-grade aluminum alloy is used as the pot body base material, free of impurities and other heavy metals, making it healthier to use.

[0003] When casting aluminum alloy pots, molten aluminum is poured into the mold through the gating system. The casting is then removed after cooling naturally in the mold. However, during the casting process, the gating point is usually the entry point for metal flow during casting, which may introduce air bubbles or impurities. It is necessary to manually remove the part that has not yet fully cooled and solidified at the gating point. Since the temperature of the part that has not yet fully cooled and solidified is high, workers face the risk of burns when removing it manually. At the same time, manual operation may lead to inconsistent removal, affecting the appearance and dimensional accuracy of the casting.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology lacks a technique for automatically removing the gate position during the casting of aluminum alloy pots. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a fully automated casting production equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a fully automatic casting production equipment, including a conveying base, on which multiple aluminum alloy pot bottom molds are placed, and aluminum alloy pots are placed on the aluminum alloy pot bottom molds. A gantry frame is fixedly connected to the conveying base, and a baffle is slidably fitted on the gantry frame. A guide pipe is passed through and fixedly connected to the baffle. A transmission mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the guide pipe located inside the baffle. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism. A gate removal mechanism is slidably fitted on the fixing frame. A collection seat is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the baffle.

[0007] Preferably, a hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the baffle, the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the gantry frame, and the bottom of the baffle is adapted to the outer surface of the aluminum alloy pot.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to one end of the guide tube located inside the baffle, and suction tubes are connected through and fixed to both ends of the rotating sleeve. An annular rack A is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a heat-insulated motor base, which is fixedly connected to one end of the guide tube. A motor is fixedly connected inside the heat-insulated motor base, and the output end of the motor extends through the heat-insulated motor base to the outside and is fixedly connected to a lever.

[0010] Preferably, a ring rack B is fixedly connected to the actuating lever, and a gear shaft is meshed and driven on one side of the ring rack B. The gear shaft is rotatably connected to the heat-insulating motor base, and the top end of the gear shaft is meshed and driven with the ring rack A.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the heat-insulating motor base, and a toothed plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame. The toothed plate is provided with multiple transmission teeth in a linear structure and rotatably connected. One end of the transmission teeth is fixedly connected to a tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the toothed plate.

[0012] Preferably, the gate removal mechanism includes a sliding frame, which is slidably coupled to a fixed frame. An adjustment frame is fixedly connected to the sliding frame, and the inner wall of the adjustment frame is slidably coupled to the outer wall of one end of a lever. A removal plate is slidably coupled to the lower side of the sliding frame, and multiple springs are fixedly connected to the removal plate. The other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the sliding frame.

[0013] Preferably, a worm gear is rotatably connected to the sliding frame, and a transmission wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear. The transmission wheel is movably meshed with a transmission gear. A worm wheel is meshed with one side of the worm gear, and a transmission rod is fixedly connected to the worm wheel. The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the sliding frame. A transmission groove is formed on the outer wall of the transmission rod. A guide head is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the scraping plate, and the outer wall of the guide head is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the transmission groove.

[0014] Preferably, a baffle ring is rotatably connected to the collecting seat, a vacuum pump is fixedly connected to the top of the collecting seat, a filter screen tube is fixedly connected to the collecting seat, one end of the filter screen tube is fixedly connected to one end of the guide tube, and the vacuum pump's suction end is fixedly connected to the filter screen tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. After the aluminum alloy pot is poured and the upper mold is removed, the transmission mechanism drives the scraper plate to move back and forth, replacing the manual scraping of the gate part. This reduces the chance of workers coming into contact with high-temperature castings, reducing the risk of burns and other safety hazards. Automated scraping reduces the time of manual operation, making the casting process more efficient and improving production efficiency. At the same time, under the action of the transmission gear, the scraper plate can be adjusted to descend a certain distance, which can maintain the consistency and accuracy of scraping, avoid the unevenness caused by manual operation, and ensure the quality of castings.

[0017] 2. By setting up a shield, molten metal splashes can be effectively blocked, reducing the risk of worker injury and safety hazards. At the same time, it keeps the production environment clean, reduces the accumulation of residual metal on the ground, improves work efficiency, and avoids subsequent cleaning work.

[0018] 3. By setting a rotating suction pipe, the removed gate portion can be collected in real time, eliminating the need for manual collection of the casting gate portion, reducing the workload of workers, improving overall production efficiency, and using a vacuum pump for negative pressure collection to effectively recover the shoveled aluminum liquid, reducing material waste and lowering production costs. The rotatable baffle ring makes it more convenient to remove the collected metal material. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 The fully automatic casting production equipment shown includes a conveying base 1, on which multiple aluminum alloy pot bottom molds 2 are placed, and aluminum alloy pots 3 are placed on the aluminum alloy pot bottom molds 2. A gantry frame 4 is fixedly connected to the conveying base 1, and a baffle 5 is slidably fitted on the gantry frame 4. A guide pipe 6 is passed through and fixedly connected to the baffle 5. A transmission mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide pipe 6 located inside the baffle 5. A fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 7, and a gate removal mechanism 9 is slidably fitted on the fixing frame 8. A collection seat 10 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the baffle 5.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a hydraulic rod 501 is fixedly connected to the baffle 5, and the hydraulic rod 501 is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 4. The bottom of the baffle 5 is adapted to the outer surface of the aluminum alloy pot 3. The hydraulic rod 501 is used to drive the baffle 5 to cover the outside of the gate of the aluminum alloy pot 3.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a rotating sleeve 601 is rotatably connected to one end of the guide tube 6 located inside the baffle 5. Suction tubes 602 are connected through and fixed to both ends of the rotating sleeve 601. An annular rack A603 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 601. The gear shaft 705 drives the rotating sleeve 601 connected to the annular rack A603 to rotate, causing the two suction tubes 602 on the rotating sleeve 601 to rotate.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the transmission mechanism 7 includes a heat-insulated motor base 701, which is fixedly connected to one end of the guide tube 6. A motor 702 is fixedly connected inside the heat-insulated motor base 701. The output end of the motor 702 extends through the heat-insulated motor base 701 to the outside and is fixedly connected to a lever 703. The motor 702 drives the connected lever 703 to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding frame 901 connected to the adjusting frame 902 to reciprocate on the fixed frame 8.

[0033] A ring rack B704 is fixedly connected to the actuating lever 703. A gear shaft 705 is meshed with one side of the ring rack B704, and the gear shaft 705 is rotatably connected to the heat-insulated motor base 701. The top end of the gear shaft 705 meshes with the ring rack A603. When the actuating lever 703 rotates, it drives the connected ring rack B704 to rotate. At this time, the ring rack B704 drives the gear shaft 705 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating sleeve 601 connected to the ring rack A603 to rotate.

[0034] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the heat-insulated motor base 701. A toothed plate 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 8. Multiple transmission teeth 802 are rotatably connected to the toothed plate 801 in a linear structure. One end of each transmission tooth 802 is fixedly connected to a tension spring 803, and the other end of the tension spring 803 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the toothed plate 801. Under the action of the tension spring 803, the transmission teeth 802 mesh with the transmission wheel 906. The tension spring 803 enables the transmission teeth 802 to drive the transmission wheel 906 to rotate in one direction.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the gate removal mechanism 9 includes a sliding frame 901, which is slidably fitted to the fixed frame 8. An adjusting frame 902 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 901. The inner wall of the adjusting frame 902 is slidably fitted to the outer wall of one end of the actuating rod 703. A removal plate 903 is slidably fitted to the lower side of the sliding frame 901. Multiple springs 904 are fixedly connected to the removal plate 903, and the other end of each spring 904 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 901. The transmission wheel 906 drives the connected worm gear 905 to rotate, causing the worm gear 905 to drive the worm wheel 907 to rotate at a certain angle. Then, the worm wheel 907 drives the connected transmission rod 908 to rotate at a certain angle. At this time, the transmission groove 909 on the transmission rod 908 pushes the removal plate 903 connected to the guide head 910 to move down a certain distance, further removing the gate of the aluminum alloy pot 3.

[0036] A worm gear 905 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 901. A transmission wheel 906 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 905, and the transmission wheel 906 engages with the transmission gear 802 for transmission. A worm wheel 907 is engaged with one side of the worm gear 905, and a transmission rod 908 is fixedly connected to the worm wheel 907. The transmission rod 908 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 901. A transmission groove 909 is formed on the outer wall of the transmission rod 908. A guide head 910 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the scraping plate 903, and the outer wall of the guide head 910 slides against the inner wall of the transmission groove 909. The transmission groove 909 consists of a straight section and a helical section. When the guide head 910 moves to the straight section of the transmission groove 909, the scraping plate 903 is reset under the action of the spring 904.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, a baffle ring 1001 is rotatably connected to the collecting seat 10, a vacuum pump 1002 is fixedly connected to the top of the collecting seat 10, and a filter screen tube 1003 is fixedly connected to the collecting seat 10. One end of the filter screen tube 1003 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide tube 6, and the suction end of the vacuum pump 1002 is fixedly connected to the filter screen tube 1003. The vacuum pump 1002 generates negative pressure, which draws the metal from the gate through the suction tube 602 into the guide tube 6. Then, after being separated by the filter screen tube 1003, the metal falls into the collecting seat 10 for collection. By rotating the baffle ring 1001, the collected metal can be pushed out.

[0038] Working principle: After the aluminum alloy pot 3 is poured, the upper mold is removed, and the aluminum alloy pot bottom mold 2 and aluminum alloy pot 3 are placed on the conveying base 1. Then, the hydraulic rod 501 drives the baffle 5 to cover the outside of the gate of the aluminum alloy pot 3.

[0039] Then, the motor 702 drives the connected actuating rod 703 to rotate. At this time, the actuating rod 703 will drive the sliding frame 901 connected to the adjusting frame 902 to reciprocate on the fixed frame 8. At this time, the scraping plate 903 will scrape off the gate part of the aluminum alloy pot 3. At the same time, when the adjusting frame 902 moves from one side near the toothed plate 801 to the other side, under the action of the tension spring 803, the transmission tooth 802 will mesh with the transmission wheel 906. At this time, the transmission wheel 906 will drive the connected worm gear 905 to rotate. The movement causes the worm gear 905 to drive the worm wheel 907 to rotate at a certain angle. Then, the worm wheel 907 will drive the connected transmission rod 908 to rotate at a certain angle. At this time, the transmission groove 909 on the transmission rod 908 will push the scraping plate 903 connected to the guide head 910 to move down a certain distance to further scrape the gate part of the aluminum alloy pot 3. When the guide head 910 moves to the straight part of the transmission groove 909, under the action of the spring 904, it will drive the scraping plate 903 to reset, making it convenient for the next use.

[0040] At the same time, when the lever 703 rotates, it will drive the connected ring rack B704 to rotate. At this time, the ring rack B704 will drive the gear shaft 705 to rotate, which will cause the gear shaft 705 to drive the rotating sleeve 601 connected to the ring rack A603 to rotate, so that the two suction tubes 602 on the rotating sleeve 601 will rotate.

[0041] At this time, the vacuum pump 1002 generates negative pressure, which will draw the metal from the gate through the suction pipe 602 into the guide pipe 6. Then, after being blocked and separated by the filter pipe 1003, it falls into the collection seat 10 for collection. By rotating the baffle ring 1001, the collected metal can be pushed out for recycling.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
