Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting equipment, in particular to an air blowing device for casting molding sand. Background Art

[0002] Foundry sand, also known as sand casting, refers to the casting method of producing castings in sand molds. Steel, iron and most non-ferrous alloy castings can be obtained by sand casting. Since the molding materials used in sand casting are cheap and easy to obtain, the mold is simple to manufacture, and it can adapt to the single-piece production, batch production and mass production of castings, it has long been the basic process in casting production. The basic raw materials are casting sand and sand binder. The most commonly used casting sand is siliceous sand. When the high-temperature performance of silica sand cannot meet the use requirements, special sands such as zircon sand, chromite sand, and corundum sand are used. In order to make the manufactured sand mold and core have a certain strength and not deform or damage during transportation, mold assembly and pouring of liquid metal, generally, a sand binder is added to the casting to bond the loose sand particles together to form molding sand. The most widely used sand binder is clay, and various drying oils or semi-drying oils, water-soluble silicates or phosphates and various synthetic resins can also be used as sand binders. The outer sand mold used in sand casting is divided into three types: clay wet sand mold, clay dry sand mold and chemical hardening sand mold according to the different binders used in the molding sand and the way it builds strength. During the casting production process, if the gas in the molding sand or the mold cavity cannot be discharged smoothly, its pressure reaches a certain level, it will invade the molten metal and form pores in the casting. This type of pore is an invasive pore. These pores will destroy the continuity of the metal, reduce the effective bearing area, cause stress concentration, reduce mechanical properties, and reduce air tightness. Existing solutions usually include three points: ensuring the necessary air permeability of the molding sand, enhancing the exhaust capacity of the sand mold and paying attention to the exhaust measures of the sand core; these solutions have high construction requirements and can only reduce the generation of pores to a certain extent.
