[0025] EMBODIMENT

[0026] REFERENCE Figs. 1-3 For the embodiments of the present application, a ceramic core pressing machine viscosity self-adaptive adjusting nozzle is provided, which comprises a shell 1, a nozzle head 2 and a support assembly 3 arranged inside the shell 1, the support assembly 3 comprising a valve core 303, a return spring 304, a shape memory alloy spring 305 and a blocking piece 306, and a heating rod 5 is arranged between the shell 1 and the chamber 4.

[0027] The compact layout of the nozzle device is realized by integrated design, and the cooperation of the shape memory alloy spring 305 and the reset spring 304 can automatically adjust the position of the valve core 303 according to temperature changes, effectively preventing leakage under high pressure conditions.

[0028] Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with a valve port 307, and the upper part of the housing 1 is provided with an upper cover 7. The nozzle head 2 comprises a first sealing ring 201 and a first opening 202, and is fixed by the third opening 103 of the housing 1.

[0029] The nozzle head 2 made of tungsten carbide-ceramic composite material realizes double sealing through the first sealing ring 201, which not only ensures the wear resistance under high temperature conditions, but also ensures the sealing reliability under high pressure environment. The accurate size design of the first opening 202 can optimize the flow characteristics of the slurry.

[0030] Further, the housing 1 further comprises a second opening 101, a clamping groove 102 and a channel 308, and the chamber 4 is installed through the clamping groove 102 on the housing 1.

[0031] The modular design of the housing 1 structure facilitates the assembly and maintenance of various components. The second opening 101 is used to install a temperature monitoring element, and the clamping groove 102 ensures the accurate positioning and installation of the chamber 4.

[0032] Preferably, the rear of the valve core 303 is provided with a shape memory alloy spring 305, the tail of the shape memory alloy spring 305 is provided with a reset spring 304, and the reset spring 304 is fixed by a baffle 306. The shape memory alloy spring 305 is externally provided with a memory alloy spring protection cover 302, and the reset spring 304 is externally provided with a spring protection cover 301.

[0033] The valve core 303 with a 60° taper angle is designed to cooperate with the double spring system to realize precise flow control: the reset spring 304 pushes the valve core 303 forward to reduce the opening and increase the flow resistance at low temperature, and the memory alloy spring 305 expands to move the valve core 303 backward to enlarge the opening and realize self-adaptive adjustment at high temperature. The double protection cover design not only prevents mechanical damage to the spring system, but also realizes efficient heat conduction through the through hole 8 on the protection cover 302, ensuring the timeliness of temperature response.

[0034] Further, the memory alloy spring protection cover 302 is provided with a through hole 8 on the outer circumference, and the housing 1 is provided with a thermocouple 6 in the second opening 101. The upper cover 7 is provided with a fourth opening 702 and is sealed and connected with the upper end surface of the housing 1 through a second sealing ring 701.

[0035] The through hole 8 enhances the heat exchange efficiency, the thermocouple 6 monitors the temperature in real time to prevent material carbonization, and the sealing design of the upper cover 7 ensures the sealing performance under high pressure working environment.

[0036] Further, the heating rods 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference between the shell 1 and the chamber 4, and the upper cover 7 is installed through the upper end surface of the shell 1, and a second sealing ring 701 is arranged therebetween.

[0037] Among them, the tangentially arranged heating rods 5 form a uniform temperature field, and the second sealing ring 701 realizes double sealing, ensuring that the ceramic slurry maintains stable temperature and viscosity characteristics during the entire working process.

[0038] In use, when the ceramic slurry enters the inner cavity of the shell 1, the heating rods 5 start heating, and the thermocouple 6 monitors the temperature in real time; in a low-temperature state, the high-viscosity slurry promotes the return spring 304 to push the valve core 303 to move forward, reducing the valve port 307 to increase the flow resistance; as the temperature rises, the shape memory alloy spring 305 expands under heat, overcoming the resistance of the return spring 304 to pull the valve core 303 to move backward, expanding the valve port 307 to reduce the flow resistance; the first opening 202 of the tungsten carbide-ceramic composite nozzle head 2 uniformly extrudes the slurry, and the first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 701 ensure that there is no leakage during the entire working process, thereby realizing self-adaptive flow regulation and stable output of the ceramic slurry at different temperatures.

[0039] In summary, by adopting modular design, the shell 1, the tungsten carbide-ceramic composite nozzle head 2 and the intelligent adjustment assembly are composed, wherein the nozzle head 2 realizes high-pressure sealing through the first sealing ring 201, the valve core 303 with a 60° taper angle, the shape memory alloy spring 305 and the return spring 304 form a self-adaptive flow regulation system, and cooperate with the evenly distributed heating rods 5 and the thermocouple 6 to realize precise temperature control. The device realizes automatic adjustment of the viscosity of the ceramic slurry through intelligent temperature control, effectively solves the problems of dripping and clogging under high-pressure working conditions, and the tungsten carbide-ceramic material and double-sealing design ensure the wear resistance and sealing performance under high-temperature and high-pressure environment, significantly improving the forming quality and production efficiency of the ceramic core.
