DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The embodiment of the present application solves the problem that the centrifugal pipe casting machine cannot accurately control the core frame swing arm angle by providing a centrifugal pipe casting machine core frame combined cylinder control system.

[0023] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] The utility model embodiment discloses a centrifugal pipe casting machine core frame combined cylinder control system.

[0025] According to the attached Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a pipe casting machine body 1, and a control mechanism is arranged on the outer surface of the pipe casting machine body 1. The control mechanism includes a rack cylinder 2, and the rack cylinder 2 is installed above the pipe casting machine body 1. An angle encoder 10 is installed outside the angle encoder 10. The angle encoder 10 is used to control the rotation angle of the rack cylinder 2. A telescopic cylinder 4 is installed outside the rack cylinder 2. A core frame arm 6 is arranged on the side of the telescopic cylinder 4. The core frame arm 6 changes its position through the telescopic movement of the telescopic cylinder 4, and the core frame arm 6 changes its angle through the rack cylinder 2.

[0026] A core frame body 7 is installed on the outside of the pipe casting machine body 1, a core frame arm 6 is arranged on the outside of the core frame body 7, the core frame arm 6 is used to control the operation of the core frame body 7, a position encoder 3 is arranged above the telescopic cylinder 4, the position encoder 3 is used to control the moving position of the core frame arm 6, a pipe mold 9 is installed on the outside of the pipe casting machine body 1, a sand core 8 is arranged on the outside of the pipe mold 9, the sand core 8 is installed on the outside of the pipe casting machine body 1, and the core frame body 7 is installed on the outside of the sand core 8.

[0027] A signal receiving plate 5 is installed above the core frame arm 6, and the signal receiving plate 5 is arranged outside the telescopic cylinder 4. Throttle 12 is arranged on both sides of the rack cylinder 2. A first proportional valve 13 is installed inside the rack cylinder 2, a second proportional valve 14 is installed inside the telescopic cylinder 4, and a proportional pressure reducing valve 11 is arranged inside the telescopic cylinder 4.

[0028] The socket sand core 8 of the cast iron pipe is installed on the core frame body 7. Under the drive of hydraulic power, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 4 is fully extended to drive the core frame arm 6 forward, and the rack cylinder 2 drives the core frame arm 6 to swing to a specified angle. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 4 shrinks to a specified position. The core frame arm 6 presses the sand core 8 on the core frame body 7 onto the pipe mold 9 on the pipe casting machine body 1, and then pours molten iron according to the production process requirements to finally form the cast iron pipe. Due to the molding requirements of cast iron pipes of different specifications, the equipment and process parts such as sand core 8, pipe mold 9, core frame body 7 are different, and the swing angle, pressing position and pressure of the core frame arm 6 are very different. Therefore, the core frame body 7 is required to control the rack cylinder 2 and the telescopic cylinder 4 to achieve precise control of angle, position and pressure.

[0029] The core frame combination cylinder control system consists of a rack cylinder 2, a telescopic cylinder 4, a core frame arm 6, a core frame body 7, and a control device consisting of an angle encoder 10, a position encoder 3, a telescopic cylinder 4, and a signal receiving board 5. The hydraulic system is responsible for providing power to the rack cylinder 2 and the telescopic cylinder 4 to drive the rack cylinder 2 and the telescopic cylinder 4 to drive the core frame arm 6 to extend and swing. The signal receiving board 5 provides control signals according to the requirements of cast iron pipes of different specifications. The angle encoder 10 and the position encoder 3 give the position and angle value of the core frame body 7. The present invention adopts a hydraulic proportional valve for control. The advantage of proportional valve control is that it can perform precise stepless control. The first proportional valve 13 and the second proportional valve 14 control the switch of the combination cylinder, which can conveniently perform stepless speed regulation. The first proportional valve 13 and the second proportional valve 14 can give different pressure values. The first proportional valve 13 and the second proportional valve 14 can be opened and closed according to the angle and position given by the angle encoder 10 and the position encoder 3.

[0030] An angle encoder 10 and a position encoder 3 are used. The angle encoder 10 controls the swing angle of the core frame, and the position encoder 3 controls the clamping position of the core frame. Hydraulic proportional control is adopted. The proportional reversing valve controls the swing, telescopic stepless speed regulation, and opening and closing of the core frame arm 6. The proportional pressure reducing valve 11 realizes that the clamping pressure of the core frame arm 6 can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0031] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The sand core 8 of the socket of the cast iron pipe is installed on the core frame body 7. Under the drive of hydraulic power, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 4 is fully extended to drive the core frame arm 6 forward, and the rack cylinder 2 drives the core frame arm 6 to swing to a specified angle. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 4 shrinks to a specified position. The core frame arm 6 presses the sand core 8 on the core frame body 7 onto the pipe mold 9 on the pipe casting machine body 1, and then molten iron is poured according to the production process requirements to finally form the cast iron pipe. The swing angle of the core frame arm 6, the pressing position of the core frame body 7 and the pressure are accurately controlled according to the equipment adjustment requirements during the production of cast iron pipes of different specifications, so as to improve the quality of the socket of the cast iron pipe and the utilization rate of the sand core 8.
