TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent foundry islands, and in particular to a core shooter. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a modular production unit integrating traditional foundry processes and intelligent manufacturing technologies, the intelligent foundry island upgrades the whole process of sand mold casting through the integration of automated equipment, sensors, the Internet of Things, big data analysis, and digital twinning, etc., to achieve continuous process optimization, and breaks through the traditional pain points while retaining the advantages of low cost and high adaptability, becoming a flexible and efficient modern casting method. The core shooter is a core component of the foundry island and is mainly used for manufacturing sand cores, which is an indispensable core-making equipment in the casting process.

[0003] The working process of the core shooter is a high-efficiency, continuous and automated cycle: first, the core sand coated with resin binder is filled into the sand storage bin, and the mold closing mechanism tightly closes the precisely machined metal core box; then, compressed air is instantaneously released to shoot the core sand into the core box cavity at high speed and fill it tightly; next, according to different processes (hot core box through heating and curing, cold core box blows in catalyst gas), the core sand rapidly hardens in the cavity; finally, the core box is opened, and the ejection mechanism smoothly ejects the hardened sand core, completing a core-making cycle.

[0004] The existing core shooter has the problem of uneven sand core local compactness during sand shooting, such as the sand particles stacking in a conical manner during sand shooting, and different nozzle shooting pressures, which easily lead to uneven sand core local shooting. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a core shooter to solve the problem of uneven sand shooting.

[0006] The core shooter provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A core shooter includes a frame, a pneumatic source for providing high-pressure airflow, a sand storage hopper for storing sand particles, and a core box; a sand shooting box is installed on the frame and can communicate with the sand storage hopper and the core box respectively, and the sand shooting box is provided with a storage bin for storing sand particles; a connecting assembly is provided with a connecting channel, and the connecting channel is connected with the storage bin, the nozzle, and the pneumatic source respectively; a gas pressure balancing assembly is arranged between the pneumatic source and the connecting assembly, and can divide the gas pressure provided by the pneumatic source into several parts, including a gas pressure bin and several sealing plates, the sealing plates separate the gas pressure bin into multiple gas cavities, and the pneumatic source communicates with different gas cavities through the connecting channel;

[0008] When the pneumatic source provides high-pressure airflow, the high-pressure airflow is balanced through the multiple gas cavities and can provide the same pressure airflow to each nozzle.

[0009] Optionally, the connecting assembly comprises a flow divider and a connecting body, the flow divider is in sliding connection with the sand shooting box, the flow divider and the sand shooting box form a storage bin inside, the flow divider is provided with a plurality of flow channels, and the connecting channel is arranged in the connecting body and in communication with the flow channels.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, a gas pressure balancing assembly is inserted between the gas source and the nozzle as a "pressure regulating center". Through the unique parallel pressure equalization design of the multiple gas chambers, it is ensured that the power source distributed to each nozzle is completely the same, thereby eliminating the phenomenon of uneven sand shooting from the root, finally realizing the core effect of uniform and consistent sand core tightness, and improving the process quality and stability of the core shooting machine.

[0011] Optionally, the flow divider is fixedly connected with a first pipeline, the connecting body is fixedly connected with a second pipeline, the first pipeline and the second pipeline are sleeved, the first pipeline or the second pipeline is provided with an electric control switch, the first pipeline is in communication with the flow channels, and the second pipeline is in communication with the connecting channel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, the first pipeline and the second pipeline are movably sealed, the sealing performance is improved, the electric control switch automatically controls the on-off of the sand shooting pipeline, the switching of the core shooting machine between the "sand filling" and "sand shooting" stations is perfectly realized, the sand shooting system (the gas pressure balancing assembly) of the core is ensured not to be disturbed, and it is a key design for improving the automation degree, production efficiency and operation reliability of the equipment.

[0013] Optionally, the number of the plugging plates is 1, the plugging plate divides the inner part of the gas pressure bin into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the upper chamber and the lower chamber can be in communication, the connecting channel is in communication with the upper chamber, and the gas source is in communication with the lower chamber.

[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the high-pressure gas flow first enters the lower chamber from the gas source. At this time, since the volume of the lower chamber is relatively small compared with the total volume, it can be filled very quickly and the target pressure can be established. This stage is a "pre-pressurization" for the main sand shooting action; after the lower chamber pressure is established, the high-pressure gas flow rapidly flows into the upper chamber through the structure (such as pressure equalization holes, gaps, etc.) that can be in communication on the plugging plate. Since the upper chamber is already in communication with all the pipelines in front of the nozzles through the connecting channel, the pre-pressurization process of the upper chamber is essentially a pre-pressurization for the entire sand shooting pipeline network.

[0015] Optionally, the flow divider is provided with a pressure rod, the pressure rod penetrates through one side of the gas pressure bin and is fixedly connected with the plugging plate, the sand shooting box is provided with a first spring, and the first spring applies an upward thrust to the flow divider.

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, the system can dynamically increase the pressing force of the blocking plate by using the high pressure of the sand shooting itself, so that better sealing is automatically realized under high pressure working condition, pressure leakage is prevented, and sand shooting strength is ensured.

[0017] Optionally, the connecting channel is a multidirectional channel, and the connecting channel comprises a first channel in a vertical direction and a second channel in an inclined direction, the first channel and the second channel are in communication, the first channel is in communication with the upper cavity and the nozzle respectively, and the second channel is in communication with the shunt channel.

[0018] By adopting the technical scheme, the high-pressure airflow flows in the first channel, and the second channel is inclined to the entering end of the airflow of the first channel, so that the rapid flow of the high-pressure airflow generates a negative pressure, and the sand particles can better enter the second channel.

[0019] Optionally, the nozzle comprises a nozzle body and a flow channel, the nozzle body is externally provided with a connecting part matched with the connecting channel, and the flow channel internally comprises a spiral part and a gathering part, the spiral part is in communication with the gathering part, and the spiral part is in communication with the connecting channel.

[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, the special structure inside the nozzle actively intervenes and reshapes the airflow form, so that the sand particle shooting effect is fundamentally optimized; under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the spiral part, the sand particles at the edge position are thrown to the periphery of the spiral part. This process effectively breaks the natural distribution state that the sand particles at the center of the airflow are high in concentration and the sand particles at the edge are low in concentration, and realizes the uniform distribution of the sand particles in the cross section; after the rotating fluid of the gathering part enters the tapering or straight gathering part, the tangential velocity component thereof is rapidly attenuated due to the constraint and friction of the pipe wall, the rotational kinetic energy is converted into axial kinetic energy and internal energy, and a high-quality air-sand jet flow is sprayed from the gathering part outlet, wherein the sand particles are uniformly distributed and mainly move at high speed in the axial direction.

[0021] Optionally, the core box comprises an upper mold and a lower mold, the upper mold is fixedly connected with the rack, the rack is provided with a lifting platform, and the lower mold is fixedly connected with the lifting platform.

[0022] By adopting the technical scheme, the lifting platform rises to push the lower mold to tightly close with the fixed upper mold to form a closed cavity. At this time, the advantages of the fixed upper mold are fully displayed, the sand shooting head is stably docked, high-pressure sand shooting is performed, the mold remains closed, the sand core is solidified, the lifting platform descends to drive the lower mold and the lower half of the sand core to descend together and separate from the upper mold, and after the lower mold descends to the position, the ejection mechanism installed in the lower mold operates to stably eject the sand core. The operator or the robot can easily take the finished sand core from the lower space; the lifting platform rises again to perform mold closing and start the next core making period.

[0023] Optionally, the rack is provided with a moving platform moving in the horizontal direction, and the lifting platform is arranged at the moving end of the moving platform.

[0024] By adopting the technical scheme, after the upper mold and the lower mold are separated, the product and the lower mold are transported by the moving platform, and the product is convenient to take.

[0025] Optionally, the rack is provided with a sliding rail, a first mounting frame and a second mounting frame, the first mounting frame and the second mounting frame can move along the sliding rail, the sand shooting box is slidingly connected to the first mounting frame, and the second mounting frame is slidingly connected with a top box, reset springs are arranged between the sand shooting box and the first mounting frame and between the top box and the second mounting frame, the reset springs force the sand shooting box and the top box to move upward, and the rack is provided with a power source, and the power source can exert a downward thrust on the sand shooting box and the top box.

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, one power source can control two components (the sand shooting box and the top box) to act as required. Through ingenious mechanical design, when the power source is pressed downward, the force of one spring is first overcome to complete one action, and then the force of another spring is overcome to complete the next action, so that time sequence control is realized. When the power source is withdrawn, the two components are automatically and reliably reset under the action of the respective reset springs, without the need for an additional driving device.

[0027] To sum up, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] The air pressure balancing assembly can dynamically adjust the opening pressure threshold according to the real-time weight of the sand particles in the storage bin. When the sand particles are fully loaded at the initial sand shooting stage, a higher air pressure is required to lift the blocking plate, thereby ensuring strong initial sand shooting power. As the sand particles decrease, the opening threshold linearly decreases, and the air pressure is adjusted accordingly, thereby providing relatively stable and uniform sand shooting pressure throughout the sand shooting process, avoiding the filling defects caused by sudden pressure drop. Furthermore, the spiral groove design inside the nozzle causes the sand flow to rotate at high speed, and the centrifugal force uniformly distributes the sand particles to the outer periphery, thereby completely breaking the inherent uneven distribution problem of the dense center and sparse edge of the air-sand flow. Finally, the rotating kinetic energy is converted into axial kinetic energy through the aggregation part, and the high-quality jet is ejected with uniform distribution and directional high speed, thereby ensuring that every corner in the core box can be fully and densely filled, and greatly improving the forming quality and dimensional accuracy consistency of the sand core.

[0053] The implementation principle of the core shooting machine in the embodiment of the application is as follows: first, in the initial position, the sand storage hopper 2 is fixed on the top of the machine frame 1, the sand shooting box 3 is moved to the position below the sand storage hopper 2 to receive sand particles, and sand filling is completed. At the same time, the top box 4 is located above the core box 7 in standby mode, and this layout fully utilizes time and shortens the cycle period.

[0054] Subsequently, the sand shooting box 3 is horizontally moved to the position above the core box 7, the hydraulic push rod is used as the power source 6 to push the sand shooting box 3 to be pressed downward, so that the sand shooting box 3 is tightly abutted against the core box 7, and the nozzle 31 is inserted into the sand injection port of the core box 7. The air power source 5 is started, high-pressure airflow is transmitted to the inside of the sand shooting box 3 through the connecting assembly 33 after being regulated by the air pressure balance assembly 34. In this process, the air pressure balance assembly 34 dynamically adjusts the airflow pressure according to the weight of the sand particles: when the sand shooting box 3 is fully loaded with sand particles, the opening pressure threshold of the blocking plate 343 is relatively high; as the sand shooting proceeds and the sand particles decrease, the threshold is lowered, and the air pressure is adjusted accordingly, so that stable sand shooting pressure is realized.

The formed sand core is often adhered to the upper mold 71, at this time, the top box 4 is moved to the position directly above the upper mold, the hydraulic push rod pushes the top box 4 to be pressed downward, the sand core is ejected through the injection port by the ejector rod 41, and demolding is completed. The sand shooting box 3 and the top box 4 are automatically returned to the original positions under the action of the reset spring, and are ready for the next cycle.
