Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting molds, in particular to a tooling for casting high-grade cast iron parts by using resin sand and iron mold covered sand. Background Art

[0002] Iron mold coated sand is an advanced material widely used in the foundry industry. It is characterized by high precision, excellent surface quality, high strength and good regeneration. These characteristics enable it to achieve high-precision molding of complex castings, provide a smooth surface, reduce the need for subsequent processing, and have high strength to withstand the impact of high-temperature molten metal, thereby reducing casting defects and being suitable for large-scale batch production. However, the process development cycle of iron mold coated sand is long and the mold cost is high. The reason is that the production process is complicated and requires high-quality resin and iron molds, as well as a single sand box, resulting in high material and manufacturing costs.

[0003] In comparison, resin sand is a relatively economical casting material. Due to its low production and use costs, it is suitable for large-scale production. Resin sand exhibits good fluidity and filling properties during the molding process and is adaptable to complex casting designs. However, existing resin sand also has some limitations, such as: it requires a large amount of sand, the iron-sand ratio is usually 1:3 to 1:4, the cost is also high, and the thermal conductivity is poor. The heat dissipation is slow during the cooling process, which makes it difficult to cast HT300 and higher grade products.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a tooling for casting high-grade iron castings using resin sand and iron mold covered sand to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a tool for casting high-grade iron castings by using resin sand and iron mold covered sand, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a tooling for casting high-grade cast iron parts using resin sand and iron mold covered sand, comprising an upper sand box, a grid is fixedly connected to the top of the upper sand box, a lower sand box is arranged below the upper sand box, heat dissipation holes are opened on the surface of the lower sand box, and connecting ear plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper sand box.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the lower sand box is 30 mm.

[0008] Preferably, connecting ear plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper sand box and the lower sand box and are arranged correspondingly.

[0009] Preferably, a template is provided at the bottom end of the upper sand box, a mold is provided at the top end of the template, a sprue is provided on the surface of the template, and a plurality of cross runners are provided on both sides of the sprue.

[0010] Preferably, the sprue and a plurality of runners penetrate each other, and each runner is connected to each mold.

[0012] Preferably, both ends of the upper sand box and the lower sand box are fixedly connected with hooks.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. The heat dissipation holes on the lower sand box are set to improve the heat dissipation effect of the casting in the resin sand mold, accelerate the cooling and solidification of the iron solution, and refine the internal structure during cooling and solidification (forming a spheroidal structure), so as to obtain HT300 or higher strength castings. Through the setting of the lower sand box, the 30mm bottom plate thickness can improve the rigidity and strength of the lower mold, reduce deformation, ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape stability of the casting, and reduce the resin sand laid, so that the sand-iron ratio is reduced to 1:1 to 1:2.5. The thicker lower mold can better absorb and conduct heat, which helps to control the cooling rate of the casting, thereby affecting the crystallization process and final mechanical properties of the casting, and enables the pouring system to achieve a riser-free design, increase the process yield to 90%, and further reduce costs.

[0015] 2. The connecting ear plate can fasten the upper sand box and the lower sand box together to prevent mold breakage during pouring. The sprue is the main channel for molten metal to enter the mold. It can control the flow rate of the metal and reduce bubbles in the molten metal, thereby improving the quality of the casting. The runner can be designed with different runners according to the shapes and sizes of different castings to improve the flexibility of the casting process. The sprue is responsible for introducing the molten metal into the mold, while the runner is responsible for evenly distributing the metal to various parts of the mold. The pouring port uses a sprue rod of appropriate size to occupy the position when filling the resin sand. The pouring cup is used during pouring to allow the molten iron to be smoothly injected into the cavity, thereby improving the pouring efficiency. The hook can facilitate workers to connect the upper sand box and the lower sand box to the lifting equipment for movement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
