TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting equipment, in particular to a molding machine casting equipment for manufacturing sand molds. BACKGROUND
[0002] The molding machine is the core equipment of the foundry industry, mainly used for manufacturing sand molds or metal mold cavities. It efficiently and accurately completes the processes of sand filling, compaction, and mold lifting, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving the working environment. Compared with manual molding, the molding machine significantly improves the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the castings, ensuring the stability of product quality. Whether it is mass production or the manufacture of high-precision complex parts, the molding machine is crucial, is the key to realizing the scale, standardization, and high-quality production of modern foundry industry, and strongly supports the demand for castings in various industries.
[0003] Traditional molding machines are widely used in the foundry industry, but due to their structure and working principle, there are some problems that cannot be ignored. The traditional molding machine has significant drawbacks in the sand injection process. The sand injection port is often designed simply, and during long-term use, due to factors such as sand particle size, impurities, or humidity changes, it is very easy to block. Once blocked, cleaning and dredging is extremely inconvenient, usually requiring downtime, consuming a lot of time and labor to disassemble and clean, severely affecting production efficiency and continuity. In addition, traditional molding machines generally lack the ability to control the direction of sand injection during sand injection. The sand injection often shows a single or uncontrollable bias, which leads to uneven distribution of sand in the mold cavity and difficulty in ensuring compaction. This limitation makes it difficult for traditional equipment to adapt to the molding needs of workpieces of different shapes and complex structures, and it is unable to accurately and uniformly fill sand according to the specific parts of different workpieces, limiting its application in the production of complex and precise castings, and affecting the quality and consistency of the final castings. SUMMARY

Without complicated steps and complex control devices, the operation difficulty is reduced, and the operator can quickly and accurately complete the dredging task through the intuitive way of pushing and pulling the horizontal shaft. This design avoids the complex operation that may occur in traditional dredging methods and reduces the possibility of operation errors, thereby improving the efficiency of dredging work and enabling the molding machine to recover normal operation faster.
[0018] 3. By setting the deflection mechanism, when filling sand for workpieces of different shapes and structures, the deflection mechanism can work, and the operator can adjust the sand shooting direction according to the specific shape of the workpiece and the filling position requirements. Through the action of the deflection mechanism, the sand can be guided to a specific direction in the cavity, ensuring that the sand can be uniformly and fully filled into every corner of the workpiece. This flexible control of the sand shooting direction enables the molding machine to better adapt to diversified production tasks, whether it is a simple standard part or a complex special-shaped part, the sand filling requirements can be met, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the castings and expanding the application range of the molding machine in different casting production scenarios.
