Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of casting. More specifically, this invention relates to an intelligent casting equipment for the production of compressor parts. Background Technology

However, existing sand molds do not have built-in flipping capabilities, requiring external flipping equipment to complete this step. This not only increases equipment investment and operational complexity but also limits production efficiency and process flexibility to some extent. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the sand mold structure to enable flipping, thereby enhancing the convenience and automation of casting operations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, in the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts, the fixed components include electric push rods and round rods; several electric push rods are fixedly connected to the frame; each electric push rod has a round rod fixedly connected to its telescopic end, and the round rod is inserted into the sand box.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, in the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts, the cylinders on the same side are staggered.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, in the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts, cylinder two and ring one are rotatably connected.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts has a chamfer at the end of the round rod.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts also includes a buffer assembly, which includes a ring three, a connecting block, and a movable block one; several rings three are fixedly connected to the cylinder one, and the rings three are rotatably connected to the corresponding cylinder one; a connecting block is fixedly connected to each ring three, and the connecting block is in contact with the corresponding cylinder one; a movable block one is fixedly connected to each cylinder one, and the movable block one is in contact with the corresponding ring three; several through slots one are opened on each movable block one.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts also includes auxiliary components. These auxiliary components include movable block two, spring one, movable block three, and spring two. Several movable blocks two are slidably connected between each cylinder one and its corresponding ring three. Several through slots two are provided on each movable block two. Each pair of adjacent movable blocks two are in contact with each other. Each connecting block is in contact with its corresponding movable block two. Each movable block one is in contact with its corresponding movable block two. Several springs one are fixedly connected between each pair of adjacent movable blocks two.

[0014] As an improvement to the above solution, the intelligent casting equipment for producing compressor parts has a rust-proof coating on the surface of the frame.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. By using the eccentrically set cylinder 1 and square frame in conjunction, the sand box flipping operation can be completed with the help of the existing overhead crane in the factory, making the flipping operation simpler and more convenient, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. At the same time, by setting the two cylinders 2 to be staggered, after the equipment is rotated to the vertical position, the lifting tools fixed on the ring 2 will be in a staggered state, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of lifting tool entanglement and interference. In addition, by setting the cylinder 2 and the ring 1 to be rotatably connected, the lifting tools will not twist as the equipment rotates, which is conducive to improving the stability during the lifting and flipping process.

[0017] Second, by using movable block one in conjunction with pressurized oil, the sand box is buffered and decelerated during rotation, which can significantly reduce the reciprocating swaying phenomenon and improve efficiency. At the same time, by using movable block two in conjunction with spring one, a starting force can be applied to movable block one away from the connecting block, effectively avoiding the problem of the connecting block blocking and limiting movable block one, so that the sand box can be stably rotated 180 degrees, avoiding the problem of failure in the rotation operation. Meanwhile, by using movable block three in conjunction with spring two, the resistance encountered by movable block one in the final stage of movement is greatly increased, so that the sand box rotates at a very low speed in the final stage. After movable block three is stacked, it can also work with the connecting block to limit the sand box, so that the sand box can stop rotating immediately after rotating 180 degrees, without reciprocating swaying, which can improve the rotation efficiency and hoisting stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.

[0027] Example 1: A smart casting equipment for producing compressor parts, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it includes a sand box 1 and cylinder 2; two eccentrically arranged cylinders 2 are welded onto the sand box 1, and the cylinders 2 are made of alloy material; it also includes a frame 3, cylinder 4, ring 5, ring 6 and fixing components; all cylinders 2 are connected by the frame 3, and the frame 3 is located outside the sand box 1; four cylinders 4 are welded onto the frame 3; each cylinder 4 is connected to a ring 5; each ring 5 is welded to a ring 6; the fixing components are connected to the frame 3.

[0028] The fixing assembly includes an electric push rod 201 and a round rod 202; four electric push rods 201 are fixedly connected to the frame 3; each electric push rod 201 has a round rod 202 fixedly connected to its telescopic end, and the round rod 202 is inserted into the sand box 1, thereby fixing the sand box 1 and the frame 3 together through the round rod 202.

[0029] The cylinders 2 and 4 on the same side are misaligned.

[0030] The cylinder 24 and the ring 15 are rotatably connected.

[0031] The end of the round rod 202 is chamfered, making it easier to insert the round rod 202 into the sand box 1.

[0032] The foundry is equipped with overhead cranes for moving sand boxes 1 and other objects. When it is necessary to rotate this equipment, four lifting devices are manually fixed to four circular rings 26. The equipment is then lifted into the air by the four lifting devices. The two lifting devices at the front then move their corresponding circular rings 26 upwards, while the two lifting devices at the rear slowly lower their corresponding circular rings 26, thereby rotating the equipment to the desired position. Figure 6The sand box 1 is positioned vertically as shown. Then, the electric actuator 201 controls the circular rod 202 to move away from the sand box 1, stopping the circular rod 202 from fixing the sand box 1 to the frame 3. Since the cylinder 2 is positioned eccentrically on the sand box 1, the weight of the upper part of the sand box 1 is greater than the weight of the lower part. Under the influence of gravity, the sand box 1 will rotate downwards by 180 degrees around the cylinder 2. At this point, the opening of the sand box 1 faces forward. Then, the electric actuator 201 controls the circular rod 202 to insert it back into the sand box 1, allowing the circular rod 202 to re-fix the sand box 1 to the frame 3. The two lifting devices at the front slowly lower the corresponding ring 2 6, while the two lifting devices at the rear drive the corresponding ring 2 6 upward, thereby causing the square frame 3 to rotate back to a horizontal state. The square frame 3 then drives the sand box 1 to rotate to a horizontal state, at which point the opening of the sand box 1 faces downward, thus completing the flipping operation of the sand box 1. In use, the eccentrically set cylinder 2 and the square frame 3 work together, and the existing overhead crane in the factory can be used to complete the flipping operation of the sand box 1, making the flipping operation simpler and more convenient, and improving production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, when the device rotates to a vertical position, if the two cylinders 4 are aligned, the two lifting devices fixed on the corresponding rings 6 will overlap and may even become entangled and interfere with each other. Therefore, by staggering the two cylinders 4, the lifting devices fixed on the rings 6 will be staggered after the device rotates to a vertical position, thus avoiding entanglement and interference. Simultaneously, by setting the cylinders 4 and rings 5 ​​as a rotatable connection, rings 5 ​​and 6 can adaptively rotate around the cylinders 4 during the rotation of the device driven by the lifting devices, preventing the lifting devices from twisting as the device rotates, which improves stability during lifting and turning. In use, by staggering the two cylinders 4, the lifting devices fixed on the rings 6 will be staggered after the device rotates to a vertical position, thus avoiding entanglement and interference. Furthermore, by setting the cylinders 4 and rings 5 ​​as a rotatable connection, the lifting devices will not twist as the device rotates, which improves stability during lifting and turning.

[0034] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 2-7As shown, it also includes a buffer assembly, which includes a ring 203, a connecting block 204, and a movable block 205. Two rings 203 are bolted to the cylinder 2, and the rings 203 are rotatably connected to the corresponding cylinders 2. The rings 203 are made of alloy material. A connecting block 204 is fixedly connected to each ring 203, and the connecting block 204 is in contact with the corresponding cylinder 2. A movable block 205 is fixedly connected to each cylinder 2, and the movable block 205 is in contact with the corresponding ring 203. Each movable block 205 has several through slots 91. The inside of the ring 203 is filled with pressurized oil. When the cylinder 2 drives the movable block 205 to rotate, the pressurized oil will pass through the through slots 91.

[0035] It also includes auxiliary components, including movable block 206, spring 1 207, movable block 3 208, and spring 209; seven movable blocks 206 are slidably connected between each cylinder 1 2 and the corresponding ring 3 203; each movable block 206 has several through slots 2 92; every two adjacent movable blocks 206 are in contact; each connecting block 204 is in contact with the corresponding movable block 206; each movable block 1 205 is in contact with the corresponding movable block 206; two springs are fixed between every two adjacent movable blocks 206. Spring 207 is made of alloy material; two springs 207 are also fixedly connected between each connecting block 204 and the corresponding movable block 206; seven movable blocks 208 are slidably connected between each cylinder 2 and the corresponding ring 203; several through slots 93 are opened on each movable block 208; two springs 209 are fixedly connected between each two adjacent movable blocks 208; two springs 209 are also fixedly connected between each connecting block 204 and the corresponding movable block 208, and the springs 209 are made of alloy material.

[0036] The movable block 206 has a first clearance hole 94, and the movable block 3 208 has a second clearance hole 95. The first clearance hole 94 is used to accommodate the first spring 207, and the second clearance hole 95 is used to accommodate the second spring 209.

[0037] The surfaces of both movable block 206 and movable block 3208 are set to be smooth to reduce friction.

[0038] The surface of frame 3 is coated with an anti-rust coating for rust prevention.

[0039] When sand box 1 rotates under gravity, it will still exhibit a small reciprocating oscillation after rotating 180 degrees due to inertia. It is necessary to wait for sand box 1 to stop oscillating before the rod 202 can rotate it and then flip it over. This wastes a lot of time. The reciprocating oscillation of sand box 1 also reduces the stability of the hoisting. Therefore, a buffer assembly is installed on the frame 3. When sand box 1 rotates under gravity, it drives cylinder 2 to rotate, which in turn drives movable block 205 to rotate. This allows movable block 205 to apply pressure to the oil on the side of its rotation direction. The pressure oil is squeezed, causing it to flow through the through groove 91 of the movable block 205 to the other side. Since the through groove 91 is relatively small, the pressure oil will encounter greater resistance when passing through it. This resistance can buffer the sand box 1, the cylinder 2, and the movable block 205, allowing the sand box 1 to rotate slowly by 180 degrees and significantly reducing the reciprocating swaying phenomenon, which is beneficial to improving efficiency. In use, the movable block 205 and the pressure oil work together to buffer and slow down the sand box 1 during rotation, which can significantly reduce the reciprocating swaying phenomenon and improve efficiency.

[0040] When sand box 1 rotates under gravity, it drives cylinder 2 to rotate, which in turn drives movable block 205 to rotate. If movable block 205 rotates towards the side of connecting block 204, connecting block 204 will block and limit movable block 205, preventing sand box 1 from rotating 180 degrees and causing the flipping operation to fail. Therefore, an auxiliary component is installed on ring 203. When rod 202 stops fixing sand box 1, spring 207, initially compressed, rebounds and drives movable block 206 to move, causing movable block 206 to apply a thrust to movable block 205 away from connecting block 204. The sand box 1 causes the movable block 205 to rotate away from the connecting block 204, thus effectively avoiding the problem of the connecting block 204 blocking and limiting the movable block 205. This allows the sand box 1 to be stably rotated 180 degrees. At the same time, the pressurized oil flows through the through groove 292 into the gap between the movable blocks 206. In use, the movable block 206 and the spring 207 work together to apply a starting force away from the connecting block 204 to the movable block 205, effectively avoiding the problem of the connecting block 204 blocking and limiting the movable block 205. This allows the sand box 1 to be stably rotated 180 degrees, avoiding the problem of failure in the rotation operation.

[0041] In the final stage of the rotation of sand box 1 under gravity, movable block 1 205 contacts movable block 3 208 and pushes movable block 3 208 towards connecting block 204, while simultaneously compressing spring 2 209. During this process, the hydraulic oil in the gap between movable blocks 3 208 needs to continuously pass through through groove 3 93, resulting in each movable block 3 208 experiencing significant resistance. This resistance from each movable block 3 208 acts on movable block 1 205, significantly increasing the resistance on movable block 1 205 and thus greatly enhancing the buffering effect of sand box 1 in the final stage. After all movable blocks 3 208 are pressed against connecting block 204, movable block 1 205 is just... When the sand box 1 is moved to a vertical position, the connecting block 204 and the movable block 208 work together to block and limit the movable block 205, preventing it from moving further. This means that the sand box 1 has just rotated 180 degrees and can stop rotating immediately without any back-and-forth swaying. In use, the movable block 208 and the spring 209 work together to greatly increase the resistance encountered by the movable block 205 in the final stage of the movement, so that the sand box 1 rotates at a very low speed in the final stage. After the movable blocks 208 are stacked, they can also work with the connecting block 204 to limit the sand box 1, so that the sand box 1 can stop rotating immediately after rotating 180 degrees without any back-and-forth swaying, which helps to improve the rotation efficiency and hoisting stability.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
