Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting equipment technology, specifically a precision casting device for producing marine valve cover parts with temperature control function. Background Technology

[0002] The continuous development of the manufacturing industry, particularly in precision casting fields such as marine valve covers, is moving towards greater efficiency and precision. In traditional casting processes, precise control of temperature, cleaning, and metal flow has always been key factors affecting casting quality and production efficiency. Current technologies rely primarily on manual operation and simple control systems, which cannot adequately guarantee the temperature stability of the molten metal during pouring, easily leading to defects such as uneven casting surfaces and uneven cooling. With the introduction of automation and intelligent technologies, casting equipment is moving towards integration and high precision, especially in the production of high-requirement castings such as marine valve covers, where increasingly refined management of each stage of the casting process is emphasized.

[0003] Most existing casting equipment introduces molten metal into the mold through a basic gating system (CN118682081A). However, these systems often rely on traditional pouring methods and lack precise control over the flow of molten metal.

[0004] In the prior art, firstly, there is a lack of linkage devices to prevent fluctuations and leaks during the metal flow process, which leads to safety hazards in the casting process. Secondly, excessive oxygen content increases the probability of fire, resulting in casting defects such as porosity, gas holes, slag inclusions, and cold shuts. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a precision casting device with temperature control function for the production of marine valve cover parts to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the molten tank is used to store molten metal, and the pouring cup guides the molten metal into the gating system through its connection with the molten tank. The sprue, cross runner, and side runner together form the path for metal flow, and the timing of metal inflow into the mold can be controlled through the sliding connection of the sealing block. With this structure, the flow and distribution of molten metal can be precisely controlled during the casting process, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the casting process. At the same time, the opening and closing action of the sealing block helps to optimize metal injection and control the metal flow rate, preventing unnecessary leakage or flow fluctuations.

[0013] Furthermore, the switching assembly includes a switching hydraulic cylinder, a switching plate, and a reflux valve pipe. There are two switching plates: one is fastened to the cross runner, and the other is fastened to the side runner. The switching plates are slidably connected to the mold mechanism.

The sealing surface cuts off the connection between the cross runner and the mold mechanism, the top outlet houses the ejector assembly, and the runner connects the cross runner and the mold mechanism. A switching hydraulic cylinder is securely connected to the mold mechanism. By driving the movement of the switching plate, the switching hydraulic cylinder can precisely control the opening and closing states of the cross runner and side runners, switching the flow path of molten metal between different runners and optimizing the efficiency and control of metal flow. A return valve pipe, connected to the cross runner, side runners, and molten tank, enables the return of molten metal, allowing unused metal to return to the molten tank, avoiding waste and improving metal utilization. The connection between the top outlet and the ejector assembly allows for the rapid ejection of the metal product from the mold after casting, ensuring a smooth casting process.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the ejector pin is driven to move when the switching plate is activated via a transmission connection. The ejector pin is slidably connected to the ejector outlet, allowing it to slide along the ejector outlet direction inside the casting box, thus ejecting the casting. The moving block is slidably connected to the casting box, ensuring stability during the ejection process and ensuring the ejector pin can advance smoothly, successfully pushing the casting out of the mold. The tight connection between the ejector pin and the moving block allows them to work together, maintaining high precision and efficiency during ejection, preventing ejector pin misalignment or jamming, and ensuring smooth ejection. Through this design, the ejection assembly can efficiently and smoothly complete the ejection operation of the casting, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the casting process, while reducing mechanical friction and wear during operation and extending the service life of the equipment.

Another switching plate is securely connected to the pump pipe, further enhancing the connection stability between the cleaning nozzle and the pump pipe, making the cleaning process more efficient. The vacuum pump is securely connected to the mold mechanism, allowing for closer collaboration between the cleaning pump and the mold, effectively preventing impurities from interfering with casting quality during pouring. Through this design, the cleaning mechanism can efficiently clean the mold and casting chamber surfaces, avoiding the impact of residues on subsequent casting processes, thereby improving casting quality and ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0019] Furthermore, the mold mechanism includes a vertical electric rail, a horizontal electric rail, a first mold, a second mold, and a third mold. The area enclosed by the first mold, the second mold, and the third mold is provided with a mold cavity. The horizontal electric rail is driven to the first mold, the horizontal electric rail is driven to the vertical electric rail, the vertical electric rail is driven to the second mold, and the vertical electric rail is driven to the third mold.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal electric rail is driven by the first module, the horizontal electric rail is driven by the vertical electric rail, the vertical electric rail is driven by the second module, and the vertical electric rail is driven by the third module. The horizontal electric rail, through its drive connection with the first module, enables the mold to move precisely in the horizontal direction. The drive connection between the vertical electric rail and the second and third modules ensures the precise positioning and stable movement of the mold in the vertical direction. Through the cooperation of the vertical and horizontal electric rails, the mold can move flexibly in both directions, ensuring precise control and uniform distribution of metal flow during the casting process. The mold cavity formed by the first, second, and third modules can accurately accommodate the molten metal, ensuring that the shape and size of the casting meet the design requirements. This design, through the precise control of the electric rail system and the stability of the mold mechanism, optimizes the casting process, reduces mold wear and deformation, and improves casting quality and production efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the temperature control mechanism includes a temperature control component and a heating solenoid tube.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature control component, through its tight connection with the first mold, can precisely regulate the mold temperature, ensuring a suitable temperature for the molten metal during the casting process. The temperature control component, through its tight connection with the second mold, provides a cooling function, effectively controlling temperature changes in the mold during casting, preventing overheating or uneven cooling, and ensuring the quality of the casting. The tight connection between the heating solenoid and the melting tank allows the heating system to provide uniform and stable heating around the melting tank, thereby maintaining the high temperature of the molten metal and avoiding temperature fluctuations during pouring. Through this design, the temperature control mechanism can ensure precise temperature control of the mold and molten metal, thereby optimizing metal flow and cooling processes during casting, improving the precision and quality of the casting, and reducing the occurrence of casting defects.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature control component includes a heating chamber, a cooling chamber, a circulating pump, and a temperature control tube.

The connection between the heating chamber and the circulating pump allows the heating system to deliver the heating medium to the temperature control tube via the circulating pump, effectively transferring heat and ensuring the uniformity of the heating process. The connection between the circulating pump and the temperature control tube ensures continuous circulation of the heating medium through the temperature control tube, maintaining stable temperature control. The connection between the temperature control tube and the heating chamber guarantees the continuity and efficiency of the heating process, while ensuring rapid circulation of the heating medium, thus achieving precise control of the temperature of the molten metal or mold during the casting process. Through this structural design, the temperature control component can provide efficient temperature regulation during the casting process, ensuring a stable temperature of the molten metal, while effectively avoiding overheating or uneven cooling, improving the quality of castings and production efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, heating solenoid tubes surround the sprue, cross runner, sealing block, side runner, and molten chamber.

[0026] By employing the above technical solution, the heating solenoid tube, designed to surround these key components, can uniformly heat the gating system through which molten metal flows. The heating solenoid tube provides a continuous and stable heat source for the molten metal, preventing the metal from cooling too rapidly during flow, thus maintaining its molten state and ensuring smooth metal flow. The molten metal in the sprue, cross runner, and side runner is conducted heat from the heating solenoid tube, preventing solidification or uneven cooling during pouring. The connection of the sealing block to these runners and the melting tank also helps ensure that the heat from the heating solenoid tube is accurately transferred to the key parts of the gating system, optimizing metal flow control. In this way, the design of the heating solenoid tube ensures that the molten metal maintains an ideal temperature throughout the pouring process, thereby improving casting quality and reducing the impact of temperature fluctuations on the casting process.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

The precise design of the gating system and the opening and closing action of the sealing block ensure that the molten metal enters the mold stably and accurately, avoiding fluctuations or leakage during metal flow. A tight connection with the mold mechanism ensures mold stability and precision, thereby optimizing the casting process and reducing casting defects. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism, through the collaboration of a vacuum pump and pump tubing, effectively cleans impurities from the mold and gating system, guaranteeing casting quality. The temperature control system, through the surrounding design of heating solenoids, ensures continuous heating of the molten metal in the gating system. The heating solenoids, surrounding the sprue, cross runner, sealing block, side runner, and melting tank, evenly transfer heat, preventing a sharp drop in metal temperature during flow and ensuring smooth metal flow. The heating tank, cooling tank, circulating pump, and temperature control tube in the temperature control assembly work together to precisely regulate the temperature of the molten metal and mold, avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuations on casting quality. This system can adjust temperature changes in real time, ensuring the stability of the casting process and preventing overcooling or overheating. This ensures that the molten metal maintains an ideal temperature throughout the casting process and precisely controls the speed and distribution of metal flowing into the mold, optimizing the casting process. The efficient operation of the cleaning mechanism further guarantees the surface quality of the castings and extends the equipment's lifespan. This enables the casting unit to improve production efficiency and reduce material waste. Attached Figure Description

The connection between the temperature control tube 414 and the heating chamber 411 ensures the continuity and efficiency of the heating process, while ensuring rapid circulation of the heating medium, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature of the molten metal or mold during the casting process. Through this structural design, the temperature control component 41 can provide efficient temperature regulation during the casting process, ensuring a stable temperature of the molten metal, while effectively avoiding overheating or uneven cooling, improving the quality of castings and production efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, the heating solenoid tube 42 surrounds the sprue 114, the cross runner 115, the sealing block 116, the side runner 117, and the melting box 111.

[0060] By employing the above technical solution, the magnetic tube, designed to surround these key components, can uniformly heat the gating system through which the molten metal flows. The heating electromagnetic tube 42 provides a continuous and stable heat source for the molten metal, preventing the metal from cooling too quickly during flow, thus maintaining its molten state and ensuring smooth metal flow. The molten metal in the sprue 114, cross runner 115, and side runner 117 is conducted heat from the heating electromagnetic tube 42, preventing solidification or uneven cooling during pouring. The connection of the sealing block 116 to these runners and the melting tank 111 also helps ensure that the heat from the heating electromagnetic tube 42 is accurately transferred to the key parts of the gating system, optimizing metal flow control. In this way, the design of the heating electromagnetic tube 42 ensures that the molten metal maintains an ideal temperature throughout the pouring process, thereby improving the quality of the casting and reducing the impact of temperature fluctuations on the casting process.

[0061] Working principle of the invention:

[0062] The casting mechanism 1 consists of a melting tank 111, a casting tank 112, a pouring cup 113, a sprue 114, a cross runner 115, a sealing block 116, and a side runner 117. The precise design of the gating system and the opening and closing action of the sealing block 116 ensure that the molten metal enters the mold stably and accurately, avoiding fluctuations or leakage during the metal flow process. Through a tight connection with the mold mechanism 3, the stability and precision of the mold are ensured, thereby optimizing the casting process and reducing casting defects. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 2, through the cooperation of the vacuum pump 21 and pump pipe 22, effectively cleans impurities from the mold and gating system, ensuring the quality of the castings. The temperature control system, through the surrounding design of the heating solenoid tube 42, ensures continuous heating of the molten metal in the gating system. The heating solenoid tube 42 surrounds the sprue 114, cross runner 115, sealing block 116, side runner 117, and melting tank 111, enabling uniform heat transfer and preventing a sharp drop in metal temperature during flow, ensuring smooth metal flow. The heating chamber 411, cooling chamber 412, circulating pump 413, and temperature control tube 414 in the temperature control assembly 41 work together to precisely regulate the temperature of the molten metal and the mold, avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuations on casting quality. This system can adjust temperature changes in real time, ensuring the stability of the casting process and preventing overcooling or overheating. It ensures that the molten metal maintains an ideal temperature throughout the casting process and precisely controls the speed and distribution of metal flowing into the mold, optimizing the casting process. The efficient operation of the cleaning mechanism further guarantees the surface quality of the castings, extends the service life of the equipment, and enables the casting unit to improve production efficiency and reduce material waste.
