Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lost foam casting fixtures, in particular to a lost foam casting fixture. Background Art

[0002] Lost foam casting is a new casting method in which paraffin or foam models with similar size and shape to the casting are bonded together into a model cluster, coated with refractory paint and dried, buried in dry quartz sand for vibration molding, and poured under negative pressure to vaporize the model, so that liquid metal occupies the model position and forms a casting after solidification and cooling.

[0003] In the process of lost foam casting, in order to prevent the casting sand box from being displaced during use and affecting the pouring accuracy, a corresponding clamp is used to fix the casting sand box. However, the existing clamp for lost foam casting can only fix the casting sand box, and does not have the ability to flip the casting sand box to pour out the dry quartz sand after use. In addition, since the casting sand box filled with dry quartz sand has a heavy weight, the staff must use corresponding tools to take out the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box little by little after taking out the cooled and formed castings. This not only consumes a lot of physical strength of the staff, but also affects the subsequent lost foam casting efficiency. Therefore, its practicality needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] On the basis of Example 1, in this embodiment, by controlling the second low-speed motor 31 to reverse, the second low-speed motor 31 can drive the worm 36 to reverse, so that the worm 36 drives the support plate 4 to flip downward through the transmission worm gear 35 and the second support shaft 34, and the support plate 4 will drive the casting sand box 6 to flip downward together to pour out the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box 6, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also does not affect the subsequent lost foam casting efficiency.

The first support shaft 33, which is in the same horizontal line as the second support shaft 34 and has the same diameter, makes the support table 4 more stable when flipping.

[0035] Working principle: When lost foam casting is required, the staff first places the casting sand box 6 on the upper end surface of the supporting table 4, and then pours a proper amount of dry quartz sand into the casting sand box 6. At this time, the external foam model that has been coated with refractory paint and dried can be buried in the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box 6. Then the staff controls the first low-speed motor 51 to rotate forward through the control panel, so that the first low-speed motor 51 drives the double-threaded screw rod 55 to rotate forward together. At this time, under the thread engagement force, the moving seats 54 on the front and rear sides will drive the front and rear two sets of fixed clamps 52 to move inward synchronously to clamp and fix the casting sand box 6 (reference Figure 1), to avoid displacement of the casting sand box 6, and then the staff starts the vibration motor 7 through the control panel, so that the vibration motor 7 drives the casting sand box 6 to vibrate through the support plate 4, so as to vibrate and shape the dry quartz sand in the casting sand box 6. After the vibration shaping, the vibration motor 7 can be turned off, and the external foam model buried in the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box 6 can be poured at this time, so that the external foam model can be gasified, and the liquid metal will occupy the model position and solidify and cool to form the required casting; when the casting is cooled and formed, the staff can take the formed casting out of the casting sand box 6, and then control the second low-speed motor 31 to reverse through the control panel, so that the second low-speed motor 31 drives the worm 36 to reverse, and the worm 36 will drive the second support shaft 34 to flip through the transmission worm gear 35, so that the second support shaft 34 drives the support plate 4 to flip downward, and the support plate 4 will drive the casting sand box 6 to flip downward together (reference Figure 7 ), so as to pour out the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box 6; when all the dry quartz sand inside the casting sand box 6 is poured out, the staff controls the second low-speed motor 31 to rotate forward, so that the worm 36 can drive the transmission worm wheel 35 to rotate forward, and then the transmission worm wheel 35 drives the support table 4 to flip upward through the second support shaft 34, and the support table 4 will drive the casting sand box 6 to flip upward together. During this process, the limit vertical rod 32 will block and limit the support table 4 so that the support table 4 can flip upward to a horizontal position; when the support table 4 flips to a horizontal position, the staff controls the first low-speed motor 51 to reverse, so that the double-threaded screw 55 can drive the moving seats 54 on the front and rear sides to move synchronously outward, and the two groups of moving seats 54 will drive the front and rear two groups of fixed splints 52 to move synchronously outward, so that the staff can take away the casting sand box 6.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
