Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of casting production equipment, in particular to a liquid riser quick replacement mechanism for differential pressure casting. Background Art

[0002] The casting machine is a general metal casting equipment. It can be widely used in the production of aluminum alloy castings in automobiles, motorcycles, instruments, textile machinery and aerospace industries. It needs to use a holding furnace for production. The holding furnace is large in size and heavy in weight. It is an important part of differential pressure casting. The upper part of the riser is connected to the mold, and the lower part is immersed in liquid metal. It is the passage for liquid metal to flow into the mold cavity. In addition to ensuring that the molten metal fills the mold, it should also ensure that the casting is fully compensated for shrinkage.

[0003] In the existing production process, the riser tube is replaced manually. This replacement method has the following problems: the weight of the riser tube is about 30 kg, which consumes a lot of physical strength for the workers; at the same time, the riser tube needs to be preheated before use, and the preheating time is generally about ten minutes and preheated to about 600 degrees. This method of use increases the physical strength of the workers and takes a long time, delaying production and being detrimental to the smooth progress of casting. Utility Model Content
