DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 In the embodiment of the utility model, a low-pressure casting machine capable of reducing damage to workpieces by collision comprises a bottom plate 1, a rectangularly distributed support rod 2 is welded on one side of the top of the bottom plate 1, and the top ends of the support rods 2 are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the support plate 3. A casting mechanism for casting the workpiece is provided between the bottom of the support plate 3 and the top of the bottom plate 1, and the casting mechanism comprises a lifting plate 41, a driving cylinder 42, an upper mold 43 and a lower mold 44. A lifting block 45 is slidably connected to the surface of the support rod 2, and one end of the lifting block 45 is welded to the side wall of the lifting plate 41. A driving cylinder 42 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the support plate 3, and the top surface of the movable end of the driving cylinder 42 penetrates the support plate 3 and is installed on the top of the lifting plate 41 by screws. A connecting rod 46 is symmetrically welded on the bottom of the support plate 3, and the other end of the connecting rod 46 is welded to both sides of the top of the upper mold 43. A lower mold 44 located at the top of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed below the upper mold 43.

[0023] When in use, the driving cylinder 42 is started to extend its active end, thereby driving the lifting plate 41 to move downward. When the lifting plate 41 moves downward, the lifting block 45 slides on the surface of the support rod 2. The provided support rod 2 is used to improve the overall stability of the lifting plate 41 during the lifting movement. When the lifting plate 41 moves downward, the upper mold 43 is driven downward by the connecting rod 46, thereby closing the upper mold 43 and the lower mold 44 to cast the workpiece. After the casting is completed, the active end of the driving cylinder 42 is retracted, thereby driving the upper mold 43 to move upward through the lifting plate 41, and driving the workpiece to separate from the lower mold 44 when the upper mold 43 moves upward.

[0024] A pushing mechanism is provided inside the upper mold 43, and the pushing mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 51 and a pushing plate 52. Two hydraulic cylinders 51 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 41, and a pushing plate 52 is slidably connected inside the upper mold 43. The top surfaces of the movable ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 51 pass through the upper mold 43 and are fixedly connected to the top of the pushing plate 52. When in use, when the upper mold 43 drives the workpiece to move upward, the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is controlled to extend, so that the pushing plate 52 that is against the upper surface of the workpiece moves downward accordingly, and then the pushing plate 52 can push the workpiece out of the cavity of the upper mold 43. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0025] One side of the lower mold 44 is provided with a receiving mechanism located at the top of the base plate 1 for receiving the workpiece after casting. The receiving mechanism includes a mounting frame 61, a movable plate 62, a receiving box 63 and a driving component for driving the same. A fixing rod 9 located at the top of the base plate 1 and distributed in a rectangular shape is welded to one side of the lower mold 44. A mounting frame 61 is welded to the top of the fixing rod 9. The inner wall of the mounting frame 61 is symmetrically provided with slide grooves 10. The inside of the slide grooves 10 is slidably connected to the two side ends of the movable plate 62. A driving component is installed at one end of the bottom of the mounting frame 61. A receiving box 63 is provided above the movable plate 62 for receiving the workpiece after casting. The bottom of the receiving box 63 is connected to the top of the movable plate 62 by a buffer component. The inner cavity surface of the receiving box 63 is paved with a ceramic fiber paper gasket 11. The provided ceramic fiber paper gasket 11 has the properties of high temperature and high pressure resistance, acid and corrosion resistance, tough texture and strong wind erosion resistance.

[0026] The driving assembly includes a motor 71, a bidirectional screw 72, a moving block 73, a folding rod 74 and a connecting block 75. A mounting seat 12 is symmetrically welded to one end of the bottom of the mounting frame 61, and a motor 71 is installed on the side of one of the mounting seats 12 by screws. The output end of the motor 71 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 72 through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 72 penetrates the mounting seat 12 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the other mounting seat 12 through a bearing seat. The surface of the bidirectional screw 72 is rotatably connected to two moving blocks 73 by threads, and one side of the two moving blocks 73 is hingedly connected to a folding rod 74. A mounting plate 13 is welded to one end of the bottom of the moving plate 62 away from the moving block 73, and two convex grooves 14 are provided on the side of the mounting plate 13 close to the folding rod 74. The two convex grooves 14 are slidably connected to the connecting blocks 75, and the ends of the folding rods 74 away from the moving blocks 73 are hingedly connected to the sides of the connecting blocks 75.

[0027] When in use, the motor 71 is started, and the bidirectional screw 72 is rotated when the output end of the motor 71 rotates, thereby driving the moving block 73 to move closer to each other on its surface through the rotation of the bidirectional screw 72. When the moving block 73 moves in translation, it drives one end of the folding rod 74 hingedly connected to it to move synchronously. At this time, the other end of the folding rod 74 drives the connecting block 75 hingedly connected to it to slide closer to each other inside the convex groove 14, and then the angle between the folding rods 74 continues to increase, so that the mounting plate 13 drives the two side ends of the moving plate 62 to move in the inside of the slide groove 10 toward one end close to the upper mold 43. The movable plate 62 moves sideways, and the receiving box 63 is driven to move synchronously with it through the buffer mechanism, so that the receiving box 63 is at the bottom of the upper mold 43. At this time, the movable end of the driving cylinder 42 is controlled to extend so that the lifting plate 41 drives the upper mold 43 to move downward. When the cast workpiece and the inner surface of the receiving box 63 reach a suitable receiving distance, the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 51 can be controlled to extend to push the workpiece out of the cavity of the upper mold 43 through the pushing plate 52, and then fall into the receiving box 63, thereby avoiding the situation where the workpiece is damaged when it is demolded and falls due to the large distance between the receiving box 63 and the upper mold 43 during material receiving.

[0028] The buffer mechanism includes a buffer spring 81, a shock-absorbing rod 82, a U-shaped block 83 and a shock-absorbing pad 84. The four corners of the bottom of the receiving box 63 are welded with buffer springs 81, and the other end of the buffer spring 81 is welded to the top of the moving plate 62, and a telescopic rod 85 that penetrates the buffer spring 81 is fixedly installed between the top of the moving plate 62 and the bottom of the receiving box 63. The telescopic rod 85 is provided to prevent the buffer spring 81 from lateral deformation during operation. The top of the moving plate 62 and the bottom of the receiving box 63 are cross-welded with shock-absorbing rods 82, and the other end of the shock-absorbing rod 82 is welded with a U-shaped block 83. The top of the moving plate 62 and the bottom of the receiving box 63 are both fixedly installed with shock-absorbing pads 84 corresponding to the U-shaped block 83, and the shock-absorbing pads 84 are slidably plugged and connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped block 83. The shock-absorbing pads 84 are made of rubber material, have good elasticity and energy absorption performance, can effectively reduce vibration, are not easy to age and corrode, and have a long service life.

[0029] During use, when the workpiece falls into the receiving box 63, the gravity of the workpiece itself causes the receiving box 63 to move downward. When the receiving box 63 moves downward, the buffer spring 81 and the telescopic rod 85 are compressed, thereby absorbing the generated vibration. When the receiving box 63 moves downward, the shock-absorbing pad 84 is compressed in the inner wall of the U-shaped block 83, and the inertia of the shock-absorbing pad 84 drives the receiving box 63 to rebound upward, further absorbing the generated vibration, thereby increasing the stability of the receiving box 63 in receiving the workpiece, reducing the probability of the workpiece being scratched or damaged during demolding and discharging, and effectively protecting the workpiece.

[0030] Working principle: When the low-pressure casting machine capable of reducing damage to the workpiece is to be used, the casting mechanism is moved downward by controlling the movable end of the driving cylinder 42 to extend. When the upper mold 43 and the lower mold 44 are closed and the casting is completed, the movable end of the driving cylinder 42 is retracted, and the upper mold 43 is driven to move upward through the lifting plate 41, so that the upper mold 43 drives the workpiece to separate from the lower mold 44 and move up to a suitable receiving position with the receiving box 63. At this time, the starting motor 71 controls the movement of the driving assembly to move the movable plate 62 to the side close to the upper mold 43. Move, and when the movable plate 62 moves, the receiving box 63 is driven to move synchronously through the buffer mechanism, so that the receiving box 63 is at the bottom of the upper mold 43, and then the movable ends of the hydraulic cylinders 51 are controlled to extend at the same time so that the push plate 52 pushes the workpiece out of the cavity of the upper mold 43, and then the workpiece falls into the receiving box 63. At this time, due to the gravity of the workpiece itself, the receiving box 63 moves downward, thereby driving the buffer assembly to operate, buffering and absorbing the generated vibration, increasing the stability of the receiving box 63 in receiving the workpiece, and reducing the probability of the workpiece being scratched or damaged when being demolded.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
