Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of iron mold sand-coated casting, in particular to a fixing device for an iron mold sand-coated pouring cup. Background Art

[0002] Iron mold sand coating process is a special semi-precision casting technology developed by Chinese foundry workers combining metal mold casting, sand casting and shell casting. The iron mold sand coating process uses a metal outer mold and a metal mold cavity similar to the main key shape as a sand box iron mold. During the molding process, a layer of 3mm-10mm coated sand is covered on the iron mold to form a casting mold for pouring castings - this is iron mold sand coating.

[0003] The production process of iron mold sand coating is: main machine molding - check and assemble the box - lock the box and place the pouring cup - pouring - open the box and take out the casting - clean the sand - molding.

[0004] In the existing iron mold sand coating process, the lock box and pouring cup placement link requires the pouring cup to be aligned with the top of the sprue. Misalignment can easily cause the molten metal to wash the sand mold, resulting in sand holes in the casting; too much viscose is drawn into the cavity to form slag inclusions. And after pouring, the pouring cup is manually shoveled away when the molten iron in the pouring cup is semi-solidified, which wastes a man-hour. Some manufacturers coat the pouring cup with a layer of film to prevent the pouring cup from floating. The shoveled pouring cup and iron mold must be collected and transported separately. This operation increases costs and increases the difficulty of operation. It also leads to an increase in the scrap rate of casting products, greatly affecting production efficiency.

[0029] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0030] See also Figure 1-2 A fixing device for an iron mold sand-coated pouring cup comprises a pouring cup 3 and a sprue 2, and also comprises a gasket 1, wherein the gasket 1 is arranged between the pouring cup 3 and the sprue 2, a top end boss 21 is arranged at the top end of the sprue 2, and a bottom end boss 31 is arranged at the bottom end of the pouring cup 3; the top end boss 21 and the bottom end boss 31 are respectively engaged with the gasket 1; the gasket 1 is placed on the top end boss 21 for engagement, and the gasket 1 is taken out after sand coating, and the internal structure of the sprue 2 cavity is stepped, and the cavity can be engaged with the bottom end boss 31.

[0031] The gasket 1 is an annular structure.

[0032] The inner diameter of the gasket 1 is the same as the diameter of the top boss 21 , and the outer diameter of the gasket 1 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the top boss 21 .

[0033] The inner diameter of the gasket 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the bottom boss 31 , and the outer diameter of the gasket 1 is the same as the outer diameter of the bottom boss 31 .

[0034] The gasket side surface 11 of the gasket 1 has a circular cross section, and the gasket 1 is a circular ring structure.

[0035] The height of the gasket 1 is the same as the protruding height of the top boss 21 .

[0036] The height of the gasket 1 is the same as the protruding height of the bottom end boss 31 .

[0037] The gasket 1 is arranged on the top boss 21 and is flush with the surface of the iron mold.

[0038] The top boss 21 and the bottom boss 31 are stepped bosses; the sprue 2 is connected to the runner 4 to form a pouring system.

[0039] The utility model also includes a method for fixing an iron mold sand-covered pouring cup fixing device, comprising the following steps:

[0040] When the iron mold is covered with sand, the upper mold of the sprue 2 is matched with the iron mold, and the gasket 1 is placed on the top boss 21 of the sprue 2. Then the sand shooting machine moves down and is closely combined with the iron mold surface. The resin sand is filled into the gap between the mold and the iron mold through the sand shooting hole to form a casting cavity. After the sand is filled, the gasket 1 is taken out, and the cavity becomes a step-shaped cavity.

[0041] The pouring cup 3 with the bottom boss 31 is placed in the stepped cavity, and the molten metal is poured. After the molten metal is cooled, the casting is taken out of the box, and the whole iron mold sand-coated casting process is completed.

[0042] Figure 1 The utility model relates to a gasket used in a fixing device of an iron mold sand-covered pouring cup. The gasket is in the shape of a circular ring and is made of cast iron through a casting process. Figure 2 It is the pouring system in the casting process. When designing the casting mold, the pouring system composed of the sprue and the cross runner is made into an integrated type with the casting upper mold. The sprue is a frustum structure that is thin at the top and thick at the bottom. It is connected to the cross runner as an integral type. A boss is set on the top. The sprue material is mold steel. Figure 3 The pouring cup is used in the pouring process, and a boss is arranged at the bottom. The raw material of the pouring cup is quartz sand, and it is prepared by the iron mold coating sand process.

[0043] Specific working principle: (1) When the iron mold is covered with sand, the upper mold of the straight runner casting is matched with the upper iron mold, and a 3-10mm gap is left between the mold and the iron mold for sand filling. The upper plane of the straight runner is in the same plane as the upper plane of the iron mold. The circular gasket is placed on the top boss of the straight runner. Due to the height and size of the gasket, it can be quickly inserted. Then the sand shooting machine moves down and closely combines with the iron mold surface. Resin sand is filled into the gap between the mold and the iron mold through the sand shooting hole to form a casting cavity. After the sand filling is completed, the circular gasket is taken out, and a stepped step is formed on the circular gasket to facilitate the insertion of the pouring cup.

[0044] (2) Through the boss design at the bottom of the gate, it can be easily placed in the stepped cavity formed by the circular gasket, and the bottom of the gate cup can be well aligned with the straight runner. At the same time, the size and depth of the boss also determine the size of the stabilizing effect of the gate cup. After the gate cup is stabilized, the molten metal is poured in. After the molten metal cools down, the casting is taken out of the box, completing the entire iron mold sand-coated casting process.

[0045] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
