Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of casting, in particular to a casting self-hardening sand box positioning device. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional self-hardening sand casting production process, upper and lower sand boxes are usually used for molding. Many castings are usually molded using templates, and the positioning device is generally positioned using sand molds made of self-hardening sand. Sand mold positioning can play a certain role, but during use, due to the large clearance fit, it is easy to cause the casting to be misaligned, and the sand mold positioning has poor shear resistance and is easy to break, resulting in inaccurate positioning.

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the prior art can use a box-closing locating pin. For example, the prior art patent number is CN201810795312.4, and the patent name is an invention patent of a thin and tall casting box-closing locating pin, which discloses a thin and tall casting box-closing locating pin, including a locating pin body. The locating pin body is an asymmetric frustum of a cone with a large middle and small ends, which can be divided into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part is a thin and tall frustum of a cone with a smaller taper, and the lower part is a frustum of a cone with a larger taper. The boundary between the upper and lower parts is the bottom surface of the frustum of the cone. When the upper box sand mold and the lower box sand mold are combined, the lower part of the locating pin is placed in the lower locating pit that matches the shape of the lower part, and the upper part of the locating pin is aligned with the upper locating pit that matches the shape of the upper part, so as to facilitate the accurate positioning of the crane for the box-closing. The closing locating pin is simple and reliable, and facilitates accurate positioning and closing operations of tall and thin-walled box castings by increasing the upper height of the locating pin and the closing height of the upper locating pit that matches the shape of the upper part, thereby avoiding the closing disadvantages of traditional symmetrical locating pins and the unstable closing, which is prone to sanding and misalignment.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art has the problem that the locating pins are not large in size and are easy to be lost, or even omitted in the sand mold due to negligence of the staff, which causes serious problem of scrapping of castings. At the same time, it is necessary to set grooves for placing the locating pins on the upper sand box and the lower sand box, and the setting of the grooves should be consistent with the size of the locating pins as much as possible. If they are not consistent, it is easy to cause deviation between the locating pins and the grooves when the boxes are closed.

[0005] The prior art patent number is CN201721292815.7, and the patent name is a utility model patent for a self-hardening sand casting box positioning device. The principle of positioning is also to use positioning pins. In order to solve the problem of grooves for placing positioning pins on the upper and lower sand boxes, this prior art provides upper and lower positioning bodies. When in use, the upper and lower positioning bodies are fixed inside the upper and lower sand boxes. When the boxes are closed, the positioning pins are connected to the upper and lower positioning bodies. However, when this prior art is used, the upper and lower positioning bodies are fixed inside the upper and lower sand boxes and cannot be removed. If multiple products are cast at the same time, multiple upper and lower positioning bodies need to be processed for use, and there is still the problem that the positioning pins are easily lost accidentally.

[0031] A flange groove Ⅰ401 is provided on the top surface of the upper template 4 , and the connecting flange Ⅰ101 is connected in the flange groove Ⅰ401 . The depth of the flange groove Ⅰ401 is the same as the thickness of the connecting flange Ⅰ101 .
