Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of casting sand buckets, in particular to a grid type sand heating bucket. Background Art

[0002] The raw sand temperature is very important in the foundry field. Too low sand temperature will cause serious quality defects. The online sand heating bucket sold on the market takes up a lot of space and cannot meet the compact requirements of equipment design. The thermal efficiency is low and cannot meet the production capacity of more than 8 tons of sand / hour. The failure rate is high, please refer to Figure 4 Take the boiling air heating bucket as an example. The boiling air heating bucket is a product of the Spanish company Rolamendi. The principle of this product is to use the vacuum pump to output compressed air. The compressed air passes through the heater fins and becomes hot air. The hot air directly enters the sand bucket through the pipeline. The hot air boils the sand in the sand bucket and achieves the purpose of heating the sand. The excess air is then exhausted through the middle guide exhaust pipe. In actual use, the sand in the daily consumption bucket is delivered by pneumatic conveying. The pressure of pneumatic conveying is 3-4bar, and the pressure of the vacuum pump is 8-10pa. The pressure of pneumatic conveying sand is greater than the pressure of the vacuum pump. In this case, the sand often flows back into the vacuum pump, causing damage to the vacuum pump and causing equipment shutdown. Utility Model Content
