Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of investment casting wax molds, in particular to a wax mold for a pump cover casting and a casting system for the pump cover casting. Background Art
[0002] Chemical pumps are specialized pumps used to transport various toxic, corrosive, flammable, and explosive chemicals. These industrial devices utilize the positive displacement principle, achieving suction and discharge through the volume changes of the pump body and pump chamber. When the pump body expands, the pressure within the pump chamber decreases, allowing liquid to enter the pump chamber through the inlet pipe. When the pump body contracts, the liquid within the pump chamber is squeezed out and discharged through the outlet pipe. Because chemical pumps primarily transport corrosive media, pump bodies with good corrosion resistance are often selected. Since many chemical processes require high temperatures, chemical pumps must also be able to withstand these temperatures.
[0003] Wax molds are a key component of the investment casting process. They are used to create wax patterns, which are then used to form sand mold shells and ultimately cast metal parts. Molds are typically constructed from carbon steel and high-grade aluminum alloys, materials that are easy to machine while providing the necessary durability to withstand repeated use. Molds are designed to allow molten wax to flow under extreme pressure, allowing it to solidify into a wax pattern. Double-sided molds, called templates, are commonly used in automated wax injection machines, which can produce thousands of molds per day. Molds can range from simple single-cavity tools to complex multi-cavity tools with automatic ejectors to accommodate varying batch sizes. Choosing the right molding method for creating complex cavities within wax patterns can improve production efficiency and reduce costs. The sealing, protection, and component retention functions of chemical pumps are crucial for their proper operation, making well-prepared pump covers essential.
[0004] Therefore, the current challenge is to design a new mold that can produce a complex pump cover wax mold that meets the requirements of complex external structure, good sealing performance, and good protection, while also solving the problems of low production efficiency and high production cost of wax mold cavity molding. At the same time, in order to cast castings with complex structures, accurate dimensional accuracy, and good performance, ensure the smooth introduction of molten metal into the mold cavity and control its flow direction and speed, improve casting quality, production efficiency, and reduce production costs, it is crucial to design a suitable casting system for investment casting.

After the interior of the mold is set up, the pump cover main body mold upper mold 4 is placed on the pump cover main body mold lower mold 5, and finally the side pressure sliders are connected to the upper and lower molds; after the assembly is completed, as the pump cover main body wax mold 12 cools, the sliders are taken out one by one, and the shaping of the pump cover main body wax mold 12 is completed.
[0043] Based on the above pouring system, top pouring method is adopted for pouring:
[0044] The sprue directs the molten metal to the runner and ingates. The molten metal fills the casting from the bottom curved surface of the cavity. The ingates then feed the flange and bottom of the casting from the cavity, reducing shrinkage and shrinkage cavities. The molten metal cools sequentially, solidifying from bottom to top, with the sprue solidifying last. This sprue acts as a feeder for the riser. The vertical casting system runners 41-43 control molten metal splashing and reduce inclusions.
