Detailed Implementation
[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] A casting apparatus for producing precision instrument parts, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a base 1, a lower mold 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and rodless cylinders 4 symmetrically arranged on the top of the base 1. An upper mold 3 is slidably connected between the rodless cylinders 4. A column 6 is set inside the upper mold 3. An injection pipe 5 is connected to the upper mold 3. After the rodless cylinders 4 control the upper mold 3 to descend and the lower mold 2 to close, the molten alloy material is injected into the mold cavity between the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 2 through the injection pipe 5 for casting.
[0026] After the bearing housing has cooled and solidified, it needs to be demolded. The upper mold 3 is moved upwards by the rodless cylinder 4, which in turn moves the column 6 upwards. The column 6 pulls the bearing housing upwards, separating it from the lower mold 2. However, if the bearing housing needs to be demolded from the upper mold 3, it requires manual labor using tools such as pry bars and hammers to pry or knock the casting directly out of the mold cavity, which is cumbersome. Therefore, this embodiment provides the following solution:
[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a removal frame 7 is slidably connected to the rear of the lower mold 2, and the removal frame 7 is fixedly connected to the column 6. A first threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the top of the upper mold 3, and the first threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the removal frame 7. A worm 9 is rotatably connected to the upper rear of the upper mold 3, and a worm wheel 10 is meshed at the front of the worm 9. The worm wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the first threaded rod 8. A first gear 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the worm 9 away from the worm wheel 10. A first rack 12 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, and the first rack 12 meshes with the first gear 11.
[0028] When the upper mold 3 moves upward, it causes the ejector frame 7, worm 9, worm wheel 10, and first gear 11 to move upward. When the first gear 11 meshes with the first rack 12, it causes the first gear 11 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 11 causes the worm 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the worm wheel 10 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 10 causes the first threaded rod 8 to rotate, which in turn causes the ejector frame 7 to move out from under the upper mold 3. This causes the column 6 to move downward, which in turn causes the bearing seat to move out of the upper mold 3. Afterward, the bearing seat needs to be manually removed from the column 6. Therefore, the following components are provided:
[0029] like Figure 3As shown, a push-out plate 13 is provided inside the removal frame 7. A through hole is opened in the middle of the push-out plate 13, and the diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the column 6. The push-out plate 13 is sleeved on the outside of the column 6. A metal ring 14 is provided at the front of the through hole of the push-out plate 13. The metal ring 14 is in close contact with the column 6. The metal ring 14 can block the gap between the push-out plate 13 and the column 6, and can also prevent molten material from penetrating to the rear of the push-out plate 13 through the gap. Initially, the push-out plate 13 is located inside the removal frame 7, which can prevent the setting of the push-out plate 13 from affecting the forming of the bearing seat. When the bearing seat needs to be pushed out, the push-out plate 13 can be driven forward by a thrust. The push-out plate 13 drives the metal ring 14 forward together, so as to push the bearing seat forward for collection.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving force comes from the following sources: an electric cylinder 15 is installed at the upper rear of the base 1, and a pusher frame 16 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 15. A symmetrically arranged square groove 17 is opened at the rear of the ejector frame 7. After the column 6 drives the bearing seat to move out of the upper mold 3, the square groove 17 is at the front end of the ejector frame. Then, the pusher frame 16 can be moved forward by the extension of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 15. After the front end of the pusher frame 16 contacts the rear of the pusher plate, it will push the pusher plate forward, thus providing a pushing force to the pusher plate.
[0031] Next, the push plate needs to be pushed backward to reset. However, the push frame 16 and the push plate are only in contact and not connected. Therefore, when the electric cylinder 15 controls the push frame 16 to move backward to reset, the push plate cannot move backward to reset as well. Therefore, a pulling component is provided to pull the push plate to reset, as follows:
[0032] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the ejector plate 13 has a first wedge block 18 symmetrically arranged on the side near the square groove 17, and the pusher frame 16 is slidably connected to a second wedge block 19 on the side away from the electric cylinder 15. The second wedge block 19 and the first wedge block 18 cooperate, and a first spring 20 is connected between the second wedge block 19 and the pusher frame 16.
[0033] The pusher 16 moves forward, causing the second wedge block 19 to move forward. When the second wedge block 19 moves forward and contacts the wedge surface of the first wedge block 18, it will push the second wedge block 19 to move closer to each other. The first spring 20 is compressed. After the second wedge block 19 moves to the front of the first wedge block 18, the first spring 20 will drive the second wedge block 19 to move away from each other to reset. At this time, the flat surface of the second wedge block 19 is against the flat surface of the first wedge block 18. Then, when the pusher 16 moves backward, it will drive the second wedge block 19 to move backward to reset. At this time, the second wedge block 19 will push the first wedge block 18 to move backward. The first wedge block 18 will drive the push plate 13 and the metal ring 14 to move backward to reset. In this way, the effect of automatically pulling the push plate to reset can be achieved.
[0034] After the ejector plate 13 moves and resets, the pusher 16 continues to move backward away from the square groove 17. However, the first wedge block 18 abuts against the second wedge block 19, which prevents the pusher 16 from moving away from the square groove 17. Therefore, the first wedge block 18 and the pusher plate are made to slide together. A second spring 21 is connected between the first wedge block 18 and the pusher plate. The second wedge is provided with a first triangular inclined block 22, and the side wall of the square groove 17 is provided with symmetrically arranged second triangular inclined blocks 23.
[0035] After the ejector plate 13 moves back to its reset position, the pusher 16 continues to move back, causing the second wedge block 19 to move back. At this time, the second wedge block 19 will cause the first wedge block 18 to move back, the second spring 21 is compressed, and the ejector plate 13 remains stationary. When the second wedge block 19 moves back, it will cause the first triangular wedge block 22 to move. After the inclined surfaces of the first triangular wedge block 22 and the second triangular wedge block 23 come into contact, the first triangular wedge block 22 will move towards the side closer to each other, the first spring 20 will be compressed, and the first triangular wedge block 22 will cause the second wedge block 19 to move towards the side closer to each other and separate from the first wedge block 18. After that, the ejector continues to move, causing the second wedge block 19 and the first triangular wedge block 22 to move back. After the first triangular wedge block 22 and the second triangular wedge block 23 separate, under the action of the first spring 20, the second wedge block 19 and the first triangular wedge block 22 will move back to their reset positions.
[0036] During the process of the push plate moving forward to push out the bearing housing, the bearing housing may stick to the column 6, making demolding difficult. Therefore, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, a hollow circular tube 24 is provided at the through hole position of the ejector plate 13. The hollow circular tube 24 is located behind the metal ring 14. An injection channel 25 is opened on the side of the ejector plate 13 near the square groove 17. The injection channel 25 is connected to the hollow circular tube 24. An arc-shaped support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the inner circle of the hollow circular tube 24. The arc-shaped support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the ejector plate 13. The inner side of the hollow circular tube 24 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 27 along the circumferential direction. The liquid outlet pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped support frame 26.
[0037] The release agent is injected into the hollow tube 24 through the injection channel 25 and then sprayed out onto the outer wall of the column 6 through the outlet pipe 27. In this way, the release agent can be automatically applied to the hollow tube 24 during the process of the ejector plate 13 pushing out the bearing seat, so that the bearing seat can be easily pushed out in the next manufacturing of the bearing seat.
[0038] Furthermore, an inlet pipe 28 is installed inside the push frame 16, which passes through the push frame 16. The outlet of the inlet pipe 28 is located at the front end of the ejector frame, and the inlet of the inlet pipe 28 is located at the rear end of the ejector frame. After the push frame 16 moves forward and inserts into the square groove 17, the outlet of the inlet pipe 28 is inserted into the injection channel 25. Thus, the injection channel 25 and the inlet pipe 28 are connected, and the inlet of the inlet pipe 28 is connected to an external injection device. The external injection device provides power to the release agent, injecting the release agent into the hollow round tube 24 for application of the release agent.
[0039] If the release agent is sprayed directly onto the column 6 through the outlet pipe 27, the release agent may flow along the bottom of the column 6 due to its fluidity. This would prevent the release agent from being evenly coated on the outside of the column 6, affecting subsequent demolding. Therefore, the following solution is proposed:
[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, a perforated rotating ring 29 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped support frame 26. A cotton ring 30 is bonded to the inner ring of the perforated rotating ring 29. The release agent flows into the cotton ring 30 from the liquid inlet pipe 28, allowing the release agent to penetrate the cotton ring 30. When the push plate moves, the cotton ring 30 moves from the outer wall of the column 6. The perforated rotating ring 29 drives the cotton ring 30 to rotate through the drive component. The cotton ring 30 moves and rotates at the same time, which facilitates the even application of the release agent on the column 6.
[0041] The drive assembly includes a large gear ring 31, which is fixedly connected to a perforated rotating ring 29. The large gear ring 31 meshes with a second gear 32, which is fixedly connected to a second threaded rod 33. The second threaded rod 33 is threadedly connected to the removal frame 7 and rotatably connected to the push plate.
[0042] When the push plate moves, it drives the second threaded rod 33 to rotate. The rotation of the second threaded rod 33 drives the second gear 32 to rotate. The second gear 32 drives the large gear ring 31 to rotate. The rotation of the large gear ring 31 drives the perforated rotating ring 29 and the cotton ring 30 to rotate and apply the coating agent.
[0043] When the release agent is injected from the top and bottom of the hollow tube 24, the tube cannot be filled immediately. The release agent will flow directly out from the nearby outlet tube 27. This means that the release agent can only penetrate to a local area of the cotton ring 30, which cannot achieve uniform seepage of the cotton ring 30 or uniform application of the release agent. Therefore, the following solution is set:
[0044] like Figures 6-7 As shown, a crossbar 35 is slidably connected inside the liquid outlet pipe 27. A conical plug 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the crossbar 35. A third spring 36 is connected between the crossbar 35 and the liquid outlet pipe 27. A wedge 37 is slidably connected to the push plate 13 near the large gear ring 31. The wedge 37 and the crossbar 35 are in a pressing fit. The wedge 37 and the push frame 16 are in a pressing fit. A fourth spring 38 is connected between the wedge 37 and the push plate 13.
[0045] Initially, the conical plug 34 blocks the outlet pipe 27, allowing the release agent to be injected into the hollow tube 24, completely filling it. This prevents the release agent from flowing unevenly out of the outlet pipe 27. Subsequently, when the front end of the pusher 16 moves forward and contacts the wedge-shaped frame 37, it will squeeze the wedge-shaped frame 37. At this time, because the push plate 13 is resisted by the gravity of the bearing seat, the push plate will not be displaced due to the pusher 16 squeezing the wedge-shaped frame 37. Therefore, the wedge-shaped frame 37 will move forward first, and the fourth spring 38 is... The wedge frame 37 compresses the crossbar frame 35, causing the crossbar frame 35 to pull outward. The third spring 36 is compressed, and the crossbar frame 35 moves the conical plug 34 to open the liquid outlet pipe 27. At this time, the release agent will evenly penetrate into the cotton ring 30. Then, the pusher frame 16 continues to move forward, which will push the ejector plate 13 forward to eject the bearing seat. Afterward, when the pusher frame 16 moves backward, the wedge frame 37 is released. Under the action of the fourth spring 38, the wedge frame 37 returns to its original position and releases the crossbar frame 35. The third spring 36 then drives the crossbar frame 35 and the conical plug 34 to return to their original positions.
