Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wax casting technology, and more specifically, to a cooling system for medium-temperature wax casting. Background Technology
[0002] Medium-temperature wax is a commonly used molding material in investment casting. During the molding process, the wax is heated and melted and then injected into the mold cavity to form a wax model. After molding, the wax model needs to be cooled quickly and evenly in order to stabilize the dimensions, ensure the surface quality and internal structure, and prepare for the subsequent casting process. The medium-temperature wax cooling system undertakes this key task. In the wax casting process, the cooling process after the wax casting is completed is crucial. The current common method is to manually place the wax into a water tank for cooling, which results in low manual operation efficiency, increased labor costs, and long wax handling distances and many manual operation steps in the existing technology, leading to low overall production efficiency from casting to cooling. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a medium-temperature wax part cooling system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A medium-temperature wax part cooling system includes a water trough, with multiple wax casting stations fixedly installed on one side of the water trough, a support frame fixedly installed on one side of the water trough, and a cooling mechanism installed inside the water trough. The cooling mechanism includes multiple rotating rods rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the water tank, multiple synchronous pulleys fixedly disposed on the outside of the rotating rods, a synchronous transmission belt meshing with the surface of the synchronous pulleys, and multiple arc-shaped baffles fixedly disposed on the surface of the synchronous transmission belt. A distribution box is fixedly embedded inside the water trough. Multiple water outlet pipes and spray heads are provided through one side of the distribution box, and the water outlet pipes are located on one side of the spray heads.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the water flow impacts the arc-shaped baffle, driving the synchronous transmission belt to move quickly in the water tank, fully contacting the cooling water, accelerating the cooling speed, and ensuring uniform cooling of the wax parts during movement. This reduces quality problems caused by uneven cooling, ensures stable wax performance, simplifies the operation steps from casting to cooling, and improves production efficiency.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: the wax casting station is provided with a conveying mechanism, the conveying mechanism includes a small stepper motor fixedly installed on one side of the wax casting station, the output end of the small stepper motor is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft, the outside of the rotating shaft is fixedly provided with a flipping plate, and one end of the flipping plate is set in an inclined shape. An inclined frame is fixedly installed on one side of the wax casting station, and a rubber layer is provided on the surface of the inclined frame. Multiple sponge layers are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank. A suspension chain is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame, and a lifting device is hinged at the bottom of the suspension chain. An auxiliary cooling frame is installed through one side of the water trough.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution: the inclined flipping plate combined with the inclined frame quickly feeds the wax parts into the water tank, improving production efficiency. The rubber layer and sponge layer cushion and absorb shock, avoiding damage to the wax parts from collisions and ensuring product quality. Secondly, it enhances the cooling effect, ensuring that the wax parts are fully cooled.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: a circulation mechanism is provided on one side of the water trough. The circulation mechanism includes a circulating water pipe that runs through one side of the water trough. A bidirectional water pump is fixedly installed on one side of the circulating water pipe. A circulating water tank is provided through one end of the circulating water pipe. A water passage pipe is provided through one end of the circulating water tank. A main water pump is fixedly installed on one side of the water passage pipe. One end of the water passage pipe passes through the water trough and communicates with the distribution box. A main water pipe is installed through the surface of the circulating water tank, and a solenoid valve is fixedly installed on one side of the circulating water pipe, the water supply pipe, and the main water pipe.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a circulation system constructed through circulating water pipes, bidirectional water pumps, and circulating water tanks is used to achieve the reuse of water resources, reduce production costs, improve resource utilization, and replenish new water to maintain the system's water balance, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the cooling system and avoiding the impact of water shortage on the cooling of wax parts.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: a fixed frame is fixedly installed inside the circulating water tank, a filter screen is inserted into the fixed frame, and a sealing door is hinged to one side of the circulating water tank; A water distribution frame is provided through one end of the circulating water pipe, and multiple water outlets are provided through one side of the water distribution frame.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions: the filter screen in the circulating water tank can effectively filter impurities in the circulating water, prevent impurities from entering the cooling system, avoid contaminating the wax parts, and ensure the cooling quality of the wax parts. The water distribution frame and multiple water outlets can make the circulating water flow evenly into the circulating water tank, avoid uneven local water flow, ensure the stability of the entire circulation process, and improve the reliability of the cooling system and the consistency of the cooling effect.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a cooling mechanism, compared to existing technologies, the wax casting station is positioned adjacent to the water flow tank in the structural design, reducing the wax part handling distance and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the rotating rod, synchronous pulley, synchronous transmission belt, and arc-shaped baffle work together, using water jets from the spray nozzles to impact the arc-shaped baffles, which in turn drives the synchronous transmission belt, enabling automatic and stable transfer of the wax parts within the water flow tank. This ensures uniform cooling of the wax parts and improves cooling quality. The design of the distribution box, water outlet pipe, and spray nozzles allows the water flow to precisely impact the arc-shaped baffles, while also ensuring that the wax parts are fully in contact with the water flow during cooling, thus improving cooling efficiency. In addition, the integrated design of the entire system tightly combines wax casting and cooling processes, simplifying the process flow, reducing labor costs and the probability of errors, and improving the overall stability and reliability of production. By setting up a conveying mechanism, compared with existing technologies, the combination of a small stepper motor, a rotating shaft, and an inclined tilting plate can precisely control the output of wax parts from the wax casting station, improving conveying efficiency and accuracy. The rubber layer on the surface of the inclined frame and the sponge layer on the inner wall of the water trough can effectively buffer the wax parts, preventing them from being damaged by collisions during conveying and cooling, thus ensuring product quality. Secondly, the setting of the suspension chain and lifting device can realize automatic transfer of wax parts during the cooling process, reducing manual operation, improving the degree of automation and continuity of production, and assisting the cooling frame to further enhance the cooling effect, ensuring that the wax parts are fully cooled and making the wax parts more stable. This not only improves the cooling efficiency and quality of wax parts, but also optimizes the production process, reduces production costs, and enhances the practicality and reliability of the system. By setting up a circulation mechanism, water recycling is achieved compared with existing technologies. On the one hand, water resources are recycled, reducing production costs and improving resource utilization. On the other hand, the filtration device ensures the cleanliness of the circulating water, avoiding impurities from adversely affecting the cooling of wax parts and improving the cooling quality of the wax parts. The water distribution frame and multiple water outlets ensure that water flows evenly into the circulating water tank, enhancing the stability of the circulation. In addition, the sealed door and bolt lock facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the circulation system.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0022] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a medium-temperature wax part cooling system, including a water tank 1, a plurality of wax casting stations 2 fixedly arranged on one side of the water tank 1, a support frame 3 fixedly arranged on one side of the water tank 1, and a cooling mechanism arranged inside the water tank 1. The cooling mechanism includes multiple rotating rods 4 rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the water tank 1, multiple synchronous pulleys 5 fixedly disposed on the outside of the rotating rods 4, a synchronous transmission belt 6 meshing with the surface of the synchronous pulleys 5, and multiple arc-shaped baffles 7 fixedly disposed on the surface of the synchronous transmission belt 6. A distribution box 8 is fixedly embedded inside the water tank 1. Multiple water outlet pipes 9 and spray heads 10 are provided through one side of the distribution box 8. The water outlet pipes 9 are located on one side of the spray heads 10. The wax casting station 2 is equipped with a conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism includes a small stepper motor 11 fixedly installed on one side of the wax casting station 2. A rotating shaft 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the small stepper motor 11. A flip plate 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 12. One end of the flip plate 13 is set to be inclined. An inclined frame 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the wax casting station 2. A rubber layer 15 is provided on the surface of the inclined frame 14. Multiple sponge layers 16 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1. A suspension chain 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 3. A lifting device 18 is hinged at the bottom of the suspension chain 17. An auxiliary cooling frame 19 is provided through one side of the water tank 1.
[0023] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, after the wax casting station 2 completes the wax part molding, the small stepper motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12, which drives the inclined flipping plate 13 to transport the wax part to the inclined frame 14. The rubber layer 15 protects the wax part, allowing it to slide safely into the water tank 1. The sponge layer 16 on the inner wall of the tank further buffers and protects it. After the wax part enters the water tank 1, the water in the circulating water tank 22 flows into the distribution box 8 through the water pipe 23. The water outlet pipe 9 and the water spray head 10 spray water to impact the arc-shaped baffle 7, driving the synchronous transmission belt 6 to circulate and make the wax part move forward and cool in the water tank 1. When the wax part moves to the appropriate position, the worker hangs it on the hanger 18 at the bottom of the suspension chain 17. The suspension chain 17 drives the wax part to continue cooling in the water tank 1. The auxiliary cooling frame 19 on one side of the water tank 1 enhances the cooling effect. The empty distance ensures that the wax part is fully cooled, and finally, the medium-temperature wax part is efficiently and stably cooled.
[0024] Usage process: Wax casting station 2 is responsible for the molding of wax parts. The small stepper motor 11 starts and its output end drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 12 causes the flip plate 13 fixedly connected to it to flip. Since one end of the flip plate 13 is set to be inclined, it can more conveniently transport the molded wax parts out. The wax part slides from the wax casting station 2 into the water tank 1 through the inclined frame 14. The rubber layer 15 on the surface of the inclined frame 14 plays a role in buffering and protecting the wax part, preventing the wax part from being damaged during the sliding process. At the same time, the sponge layer 16 on the inner wall of the water tank 1 can also play a certain role in buffering and protecting the wax part. When the wax part enters the water tank 1, the cooling mechanism starts to work and starts the main water pump on one side of the water pipe (23), so that the water in the circulating water tank 22 flows into the distribution box 8 through the water pipe 23. The water outlet pipe 9 and the spray head 10 on one side of the distribution box 8 spray out the water. The water flow sprayed out by the spray head 10 impacts the arc baffle 7 on the surface of the synchronous transmission belt 6. Since the arc-shaped baffle 7 is connected to the synchronous pulley 5 through the synchronous transmission belt 6, and the synchronous pulley 5 is fixed outside the rotating rod 4, the water flow impacting the arc-shaped baffle 7 will drive the synchronous transmission belt 6 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 4 to rotate, realizing the cyclic operation of the synchronous transmission belt 6. The operation of the synchronous transmission belt 6 drives the wax piece to move forward in the water tank 1. The suspension chain 17 at the bottom of the support frame 3 starts to operate. The hanger 18 hinged at the bottom of the suspension chain 17 is used to hang the wax parts. When the wax parts move to the appropriate position in the water tank 1, the workers hang the wax parts on the hanger 18. As the suspension chain 17 moves, the wax parts continue to be cooled in the water tank 1. The auxiliary cooling frame 19 that runs through one side of the water tank 1 can further cool the wax parts. A certain distance is left empty to ensure that the wax parts at all workstations can be cooled sufficiently, thereby enhancing the cooling effect. Example
[0025] like Figure 5-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a medium-temperature wax part cooling system, including a circulation mechanism on one side of a water trough 1. The circulation mechanism includes a circulating water pipe 20 that runs through one side of the water trough 1, a bidirectional water pump 21 that is fixedly installed on one side of the circulating water pipe 20, a circulating water tank 22 that runs through one end of the circulating water pipe 20, a water pipe 23 that runs through one end of the circulating water tank 22, a main water pump that is fixedly installed on one side of the water pipe 23, and one end of the water pipe 23 that passes through the water trough 1 and communicates with the distribution box 8. A main water pipe 24 is provided through the surface of the circulating water tank 22. A solenoid valve is fixedly installed on one side of the circulating water pipe 20, the water pipe 23 and the main water pipe 24. A fixed frame 25 is fixedly installed inside the circulating water tank 22. A filter screen 26 is inserted into the fixed frame 25. A sealing door 27 is hinged on one side of the circulating water tank 22. A water distribution frame 28 is installed through one end of the circulating water pipe 20, and multiple water outlets 29 are installed through one side of the water distribution frame 28. As can be seen, the above technical solution realizes the recycling of water, improves the cooling efficiency and quality of wax parts. After the bidirectional water pump 21 is started, the water in the water tank 1 flows into the circulating water tank 22 through the circulating water pipe 20. In the circulating water tank 22, the filter screen 26 in the fixed frame 25 filters the water to remove impurities and ensure the cleanliness of the circulating water. The operator can open the sealing door 27 to clean or replace the filter screen 26. The filtered water flows into the distribution box 8 through the water pipe 23 to complete the water circulation. The water distribution frame 28 and multiple water outlets 29 at one end of the circulating water pipe 20 divide the water so that the water flows evenly into the circulating water tank 22. The main water pipe 24 can be replenished with new water. The solenoid valves on one side of the circulating water pipe 20, the water pipe 23 and the main water pipe 24 can control the water flow and on / off as needed. The whole process covers wax part molding, conveying and cooling, achieving high efficiency and energy saving.
[0026] Usage process: The circulation mechanism ensures the recycling of water. When the bidirectional water pump 21 is started, the water in the water tank 1 flows into the circulating water tank 22 through the circulating water pipe 20. The filter screen 26 inserted in the fixed frame 25 in the circulating water tank 22 filters the water, removes impurities in the water, and ensures the cleanliness of the circulating water. The operator can clean or replace the filter screen 26 by opening the sealing door 27. The filtered water flows back into the distribution box 8 through the water pipe 23 to achieve water circulation. At the same time, the water distribution frame 28 and multiple water outlets 29 at one end of the circulating water pipe 20 can divide the water to make the water flow into the circulating water tank 22 more evenly. The main water pipe 24 can be used to replenish new water. The solenoid valves on one side of the circulating water pipe 20, the water pipe 23 and the main water pipe 24 can control the water flow and on / off according to actual needs.
[0027] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
