[0017] 1. When the ceramic filter needs to be replaced, press the button to make the slide post 2 start to slide into the inside of the filter housing. The slide post 2 moves until it contacts the rear side of the two clamps. At this time, a contact and extrusion state is formed between the slide post 2 and the two clamps. By applying pressure to the two clamps, the spring 1 is extended and retracted, driving the two clamps to expand toward the adjacent ends. After the clamps move to a certain position, they are separated from the outer surface of the block. Then the mounting shell is pulled out of the mounting slot to replace the ceramic filter.

After the clamp moves to a certain position, it contacts the outer surface of the block and is clamped and fixed by the force of the spring. In this way, the operator can complete the filter installation task in the casting system more quickly, thereby improving the production efficiency of shell casting.

Then the molten metal is poured from the gate 8, and then flows to the upper surface of the ceramic filter 601 along the vertical flow tube 12 to filter the impurities in the molten metal. The metal is filtered by gravity and falls into the main flow pipe 5, and flows downward along the vertical flow pipe 12. When the amount of metal in the main flow pipe 5 exceeds a certain limit, the function of the diverter pipe 4 is triggered, and the diverter pipe 4 guides the excess metal to different flow directions to avoid uneven filling or excessive impact on the mold caused by excessive metal in the main flow pipe 5. After adjustment by the diverter pipe 4, the metal falls into the cavities of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 in turn through the conveying pipe 3 under the influence of gravity. Once the cavities of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are filled, the metal will solidify into the desired casting shape after cooling. After the casting is completely cooled, the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 can be opened to take out the finished casting.

The slide column 2 610 is slidably connected to the sliding opening on the rear side of the filter housing 9. The front end of the slide column 2 610 is installed in conjunction with the two clamping plates 608. The rear end of the slide column 2 610 is fixedly connected with a button 611. 11. A spring 2 609 is fixedly connected between the front side of the button 611 and the rear side of the filter housing 9. The spring 2 609 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding column 2 610. The front side of the sliding column 2 610 is a chamfered structure, the rear side of the block 604 is a chamfered structure, and the front and rear ends of the two clamping plates 608 are chamfered structures respectively. When the ceramic filter 601 needs to be replaced, the button 611 is pressed to make the sliding column 2 610 start to slide toward the inside of the filter housing 9. The sliding column 2 610 moves until it contacts the rear sides of the two clamping plates 608. At this time, a contact and extrusion state is formed between the sliding column 2 610 and the two clamping plates 608. By applying pressure to the two clamping plates 608, the spring 1 605 is extended and retracted, driving the two clamping plates 608 to expand toward the adjacent ends. Then, after the clamping plate 608 moves to a certain position, it is separated from the outer surface of the block 604, and then the mounting shell 602 is pulled out of the interior of the mounting groove 603 to replace the ceramic filter 601.

[0031] The working principle of a pouring system for shell casting provided by the utility model is as follows: before pouring, the upper mold 2 is first clamped in the sealing groove 14 on the lower mold 1 through the silicone sealing strip 13, and then the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are fixed through the mounting holes 11 on the fixing plate 10 by bolts or other fixing devices to prevent loosening during pouring, and then the molten metal is poured in from the pouring gate 8, and then flows along the vertical flow pipe 12 to the upper surface of the ceramic filter 601 to filter the impurities and solid particles in the molten metal to ensure the quality of the casting, and the filtered metal falls into the main flow pipe 5 by gravity, and flows downward along the vertical flow pipe 12. When the metal in the main flow pipe 5 When the metal quantity exceeds a certain limit, the function of the shunt pipe 4 will be triggered. The shunt pipe 4 will guide the excess metal into different flow directions to avoid uneven filling or excessive impact on the mold caused by excessive metal in the main pipe 5. After the adjustment of the shunt pipe 4, the metal falls into the cavities of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 through the conveying pipe 3 in turn under the influence of gravity. Once the cavities of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are filled, the metal will solidify into the required casting shape after cooling. After the casting is completely cooled, the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 can be opened to take out the finished casting. When the ceramic filter 601 needs to be replaced, the button 611 is pressed to make the slide column 2 610 start to move toward the filter housing 9. The sliding column 610 slides inside and moves until it contacts the rear side surfaces of the two clamping plates 608. At this time, a contact and extrusion state is formed between the sliding column 610 and the two clamping plates 608. By applying pressure to the two clamping plates 608, the spring 1 605 is extended and retracted, driving the two clamping plates 608 to expand toward the adjacent ends. Then, after the clamping plates 608 move to a certain position, they are separated from the outer surface of the block 604. Then, the mounting shell 602 is pulled out of the mounting groove 603 to replace the ceramic filter 601. When installing, the ceramic filter 601 is inserted into the mounting shell 602. Then, the mounting shell 602 is aligned with the dovetail grooves 612 on both sides and inserted to the rear side. The dovetail groove 612 can ensure that the mounting shell 602 is firmly fixed in the mounting groove 603, and then continue to insert until the block 604 on the rear side of the mounting shell 602 contacts the chamfered surfaces on the front sides of the two clamps 608 to apply pressure, and then drive the spring 1 605 to retract and retract, while driving the two clamps 608 and the sliding column 1 607 to expand toward the adjacent ends. After the clamp 608 moves to a certain position, it contacts the outer surface of the block 604 and is clamped and fixed by the force of the spring 1 605, so that the removal and replacement of the filter becomes easier, making the shell casting process more flexible and reducing the manpower and time costs required for maintenance and replacement.
