Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent casting, in particular to a sand core molding device for producing a steel ingot mold, an intelligent integrated casting equipment and a casting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the casting process, the sand core plays a key role, which is mainly used to build the internal structure and complex shape of the casting, and plays a decisive role in the precision and quality of the casting. At present, in the production link of the sand core, the sand shooting machine is a device with high frequency of use. Such a device includes two sets of forming molds that can be opened and closed. When the two sets of molds are attached together, a forming chamber is formed. The working process of the sand shooting machine is that the sand shooting head sprays casting sand towards the forming chamber, and then the sand core is formed through the pressure maintaining link.

[0003] In order to ensure that the casting sand can fully fill every corner of the forming chamber, most of the current sand shooting machines adopt a twice sand shooting process. Specifically, after the first sand shooting is completed, the forming mold is rotated by 180°, and then the second sand shooting is performed. In this process, the forming chamber can be completely and perfectly filled by means of the flow characteristics of the casting sand. However, the problem is that the device driving the forming mold to rotate, that is, the driving motor, often has an error probability of 3%~5% when driving the forming mold to rotate. This will cause the upper surface of the forming mold to be unable to be in a horizontal state after the forming mold is rotated by 180°. In this way, when the sand shooting head acts on the upper surface of the forming mold, a gap will be formed between the two, which not only makes it difficult to accurately control the sand injection amount, but also cannot achieve the ideal sealing effect in the subsequent sealing and pressure maintaining forming process, thereby affecting the forming quality of the sand core and ultimately affecting the quality of the casting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] In addition, the elements in the present application are referred to as "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, which can be directly on another element or can have a middle element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to another element or can have a middle element. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-9 In the embodiments of the present application, a sand core molding device for producing a steel ingot mold comprises a rack 1, a sand shooting head 6, a mounting platform 2 and a sliding assembly.

[0028] The rack 1 is provided with a forming mold 13 and a sand shooting head 6; The mounting platform 2 is detachably mounted on the rack 1, and the mounting platform 2 is rotatably connected with the sand shooting head 6, and the mounting platform 2 and the sand shooting head 6 are connected through a second electric telescopic rod 9. The second electric telescopic rod 9 can drive the sand shooting head 6 to change the inclination angle. Specifically, the sand shooting head 6 is provided with an angle detection device 10 on the side, which can detect the inclination angle of the upper surface of the forming mold 13.

[0029] In use, when it is necessary to inject casting sand between the two closely fitted forming molds 13, the angle detection device 10 can first obtain the inclination angle of the upper surface of the forming mold 13, and simultaneously control the second electric telescopic rod 9 to act, at this time, the action end of the second electric telescopic rod 9 either extends outward or retracts inward, so that the horizontal inclination angle of the sand injection head 6 can be changed, and the horizontal inclination angle of the sand injection head 6 is ensured to be consistent with the horizontal inclination angle of the upper surface of the forming mold 13, so that when the sand injection head 6 moves towards the forming mold 13 and abuts, the sand injection head 6 can be completely fitted with the forming mold 13 without gaps, ensuring that during the sand injection process, the casting sand can enter the forming cavity formed by the two forming molds 13, avoiding the casting sand from being sprayed to the outside through the gap between the two, resulting in that the actual casting sand amount in the forming cavity is less than the predetermined casting sand amount, causing the sand core to have bubbles, partial area defects and other phenomena after forming.

[0030] Further, after the sand injection is completed, the sand injection head 6 needs to plug the upper end openings of the two forming molds 13 to perform the pressure maintaining action. Based on the above setting, since the sand injection head 6 can be completely fitted with the upper surface of the forming mold 13, the sealing property of the two in the abutting state is ensured, which can first avoid the pressure relief due to the gap between the two, causing the formed sand core to be not compact enough, and secondly, the close fitting of the sand injection head 6 with the forming mold 13 helps to resist the deformation of the sand core that may be caused by its own gravity or other external factors during the solidification process, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and shape integrity of the sand core.

[0031] The sliding assembly connects the mounting platform 2 and the sand injection head 6, and can cause the sand injection head 6 to move laterally when the inclination angle of the sand injection head 6 changes. The sliding assembly includes a first electric telescopic rod 3 mounted on the mounting platform 2, a horizontal guide 4 mounted on the action end of the first electric telescopic rod 3, a sliding piece 5 movably arranged in the horizontal guide 4, and the sand injection head 6 rotationally connected with the sliding piece 5. One end of the second electric telescopic rod 9 is rotationally connected with the sand injection head 6, and the other end is rotationally connected with the horizontal guide 4. The sliding assembly further includes a meshing structure arranged between the sand injection head 6 and the horizontal guide 4, which can drive the sliding piece 5 to slide in the horizontal guide 4 when the inclination angle of the sand injection head 6 changes. The meshing structure includes a gear 7 coaxially fixedly connected with the rotation shaft of the sand injection head 6 and a rack plate 8 mounted on the horizontal guide 4. The gear 7 is engaged with the rack plate 8, and the rack plate 8 is located below the rotation shaft of the sand injection head 6.

[0032] When the upper surface of the forming mold 13 is not horizontal, there will also be a displacement difference between the upper surface and the rotation center thereof. At this time, only by adjusting the angle of the sand shooting head 6, although the sand shooting head 6 can be guaranteed to be attached to the upper surface of the forming mold 13, a displacement difference along the length direction of the upper surface of the forming mold 13 between the sand shooting head 6 and the forming mold 13 will be caused. In the embodiment, when the horizontal inclination angle of the sand shooting head 6 changes, the rotation shaft of the sand shooting head 6 will also rotate, so that the gear 7 rotates, and the gear 7 and the rack plate 8 are in meshing state. When the horizontal inclination angle of the sand shooting head 6 changes, the sliding member 5 can move relative to the horizontal guide 4, so that the horizontal position of the sand shooting head 6 changes. Therefore, when the sand shooting head 6 is attached to the upper surface of the forming mold 13, the displacement difference can be eliminated, so that the sand shooting head 6 can be fully attached to the upper surface of the forming mold 13, and the sealing between the two is further improved.

[0033] For example, the sand shooting head 6 is controlled to be inclined at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal direction. Figure 1 From the left to the right perspective, when the forming mold 13 tilts to the right due to motor driving error, a displacement difference to the right will be caused. At this time, the second electric telescopic rod 9 controls the right side of the sand shooting head 6 to be inclined downward, the gear 7 rotates clockwise, and under the cooperation of the rack plate 8, the sliding member 5 moves to the right along the length direction of the horizontal guide 4, so as to eliminate the displacement difference caused by the forming mold 13 tilting to the right.

[0034] It is to be noted that the deflection and transverse displacement of the sand shooting head 6 can not only eliminate the displacement difference caused by the forming mold 13 rotating 180°, but also eliminate the active displacement difference of the forming mold 13. Specifically, when the forming cavity structure formed between the two groups of forming molds 13 is relatively complex, if only the upper surface of the forming mold 13 is horizontal, the casting sand may not be able to fill the forming cavity well. At this time, by actively controlling the upper surface of the forming mold 13 to be inclined at a certain angle, the forming cavity can be better filled. Under this use condition, the above-mentioned control of the sand shooting head 6 can also adapt to the use environment well.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figures 7-9 , the sand core molding device for producing ingot mold further comprises: Two groups of rotating shafts 12 fixedly connected with the two groups of forming molds 13, the rotating shaft 12 is a hollow structure, and the hollow structure is in communication with the micro-pores arranged on the forming surface of the forming mold 13; A switching assembly in communication with the gas tank 21 arranged on the frame 1, the switching assembly being capable of alternately delivering compressed gas towards the two groups of hollow structures, the switching assembly comprising a connecting sleeve 17 rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, an annular chamber being formed between the connecting sleeve 17 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12, a plurality of strip-shaped through grooves 14 being circumferentially and equidistantly arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 in the area covered by the connecting sleeve 17, the compressed gas entering the annular chamber being capable of being sprayed out of the micro holes through the strip-shaped through grooves 14 and the rotating shaft 12.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the compressed gas can enter the annular chamber and enter the interior of the rotating shaft 12 through the strip-shaped through grooves 14, and the connecting sleeve 17 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 12, specifically, the two are sealingly and rotatably connected, so that when the rotating shaft 12 rotates to switch the orientation and angle of the forming die 13, as long as the compressed air can enter the annular chamber, the compressed gas can be ensured to enter the interior of the rotating shaft 12 and then be sprayed out of the micro holes, ensuring the stability of the micro hole spray of the compressed gas in various use cases.

[0037] The switching assembly further comprises a conversion structure mounted on the frame 1 and connected with the two groups of connecting sleeves 17, the conversion structure being in communication with the gas tank 21, the switching assembly comprising an adjusting sleeve 18 mounted on the frame 1 and a conducting piece 20 sealingly and slidingly arranged in the adjusting sleeve 18, the adjusting sleeve 18 being connected with the two groups of connecting sleeves 17 through two groups of conduits, and the conducting piece 20 being connected with a micro motor 19 arranged on the adjusting sleeve 18. The conducting piece 20 is provided with an air inlet hole coaxial with the rotation center thereof, the air inlet hole being in communication with the gas tank 21, and the conducting piece 20 is further provided with a flow-through channel 2001, the flow-through channel 2001 being capable of guiding the compressed gas to enter the two groups of conduits.

[0038] For the convenience of understanding, the two conduits connected with the adjusting sleeve 18 are respectively named as a first conduit and a second conduit, in the initial state, the flow-through channel 2001 on the conducting piece 20 is misaligned with the first conduit and the second conduit, so that in this state, the compressed gas cannot be sprayed out of the first conduit and the second conduit, and in this state, the sand shooting and pressure maintaining forming actions can be performed.

[0039] When the sand core is formed, the two sets of forming molds 13 need to be separated from each other so that the sand core can be taken out, and when the two sets of forming molds 13 have not moved away from each other, the micro motor 19 will drive the guide member 20 to rotate, so that the flow passage 2001 can coincide with the first conduit (the second conduit), at this time, the compressed gas can be discharged through the micro holes on one of the two sets of forming molds 13, and act on the sand core, so that a gap or looseness can be generated between the sand core and the forming mold 13, and then during the separation of the two sets of forming molds 13, the sand core can move with the other set of forming molds 13, thereby avoiding the risk that the sand core falls during the separation of the two sets of forming molds 13 due to the adhesion between different regions of the sand core and the two sets of forming molds 13.

[0040] During the continuous movement of the two sets of forming molds 13 away from each other, the micro holes on one of the two sets of forming molds 13 will continue to spray compressed gas, so that cooling of one side of the sand core can be achieved, and when the forming molds 13 stop moving, the guide member 20 will continue to rotate until the flow passage 2001 coincides with the second conduit (the first conduit), at this time, under the action of the compressed gas, the sand core can be better separated from the forming mold 13, avoiding the difficulty of taking out the sand core due to the adhesion of the sand core to the forming mold 13.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 6 , the forming mold 13 is provided with two sets, the two sets of forming molds 13 can move relative to each other, and the two sets of forming molds 13 can rotate relative to the rack 1; The connecting shaft 15 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the rack 1, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 15 are connected to the two sets of rotating shafts 12 through the two sets of toothed belts 16, respectively, wherein the two sets of toothed belts 16 can also adopt a chain structure; One of the rotating shafts 12 is slidably connected with the driving device 11 arranged on the rack 1; The sand shooting head 6 is arranged on the rack 1, and the sand shooting head 6 can shoot casting sand towards the two sets of forming molds 13; In use, the hydraulic cylinder arranged on the rack 1 can drive one of the two sets of forming molds 13 to move towards the other set of forming molds 13, so as to realize close adhesion of the two sets of forming molds 13, and a limiting protrusion is arranged on the output shaft of the driving device 11, which is in sliding fit with the limiting groove arranged on one of the rotating shafts 12, so as to realize axial locking, and ensure that the rotating shaft 12 can extend and rotate relative to the driving device 11.

[0042] And through the setting of the connecting shaft 15 and the two groups of toothed belts 16, when one group of the rotating shafts 12 rotates, the other group of the rotating shafts 12 can rotate synchronously, and then the two groups of the forming molds 13 can rotate synchronously, so as to avoid the axial misalignment between the two groups of the forming molds 13, ensure the tightness of the two groups of the forming molds 13 at any angle, and ensure the integrity of the forming cavity.

[0043] As an embodiment of the present application, an intelligent integrated casting device is also provided, which comprises the sand core molding device for producing the ingot mold.

[0044] As another embodiment of the present application, a method for casting by using the intelligent integrated casting device is also provided, which comprises the following steps. Step one, heating the two groups of the forming molds 13, and then controlling the two groups of the forming molds 13 to move close to each other until tightly abutting; Step two, controlling the second electric telescopic rod 9 to act according to the horizontal inclination of the upper surface of the forming mold 13, so that the lower end surface of the sand shooting head 6 is parallel to the upper surface of the forming mold 13, and at the same time, the sand shooting head 6 is caused to produce lateral displacement under the action of the sliding assembly, so that when the sand shooting head 6 moves towards the forming mold 13, it can just abut the upper surface of the forming mold 13; Step three, after the predetermined sand shooting action is completed, the two groups of the forming molds 13 are rotated by 180°, and the above step two is repeated; Step four, after the casting sand shooting is completed, the forming mold 13 is pressure-kept; Step five, after the pressure keeping is completed, the switching assembly acts to deliver compressed gas towards one of the forming molds 13, so that the formed sand core can be separated from the forming mold 13, and when the sand core is taken out, the switching assembly acts again to deliver compressed gas towards the other forming mold 13, so that the formed sand core can be separated from the forming mold 13.

The sand core molding device for producing steel ingot molds according to claim 4, characterized in that, A connecting shaft is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the frame, and the two ends of the connecting shaft are respectively connected to two sets of rotating shafts by two sets of toothed belts; One set of the rotating shafts is slidably connected to a drive unit mounted on the frame.

8. An intelligent integrated casting equipment, characterized in that, Includes the sand core molding apparatus for producing steel ingot molds as described in any one of claims 1 to 7.

9. A method for casting using the intelligent integrated casting equipment as described in claim 8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Heat the two sets of molding molds, and then control the two sets of molding molds to move closer to each other until they fit tightly together; Step 2: Control the movement of the second electric telescopic rod according to the horizontal tilt angle of the upper surface of the molding die, so that the lower end face of the sand injection head is parallel to the upper surface of the molding die. At the same time, under the action of the sliding component, the sand injection head will generate a lateral displacement so that when the sand injection head moves toward the molding die, it can just fit against the upper surface of the molding die. Step 3: After completing the predetermined sand-shooting action, the two sets of molding molds are rotated 180° and Step 2 above is repeated. Step 4: After the casting sand is injected, the molding die is held under pressure. Step 5: After the pressure holding is completed, the switching component operates to deliver compressed gas into one of the molding dies, so that the formed sand core can be separated from the molding die. When the sand core is removed, the switching component operates again to deliver compressed gas into another molding die, so that the formed sand core can be separated from the molding die.
