Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of piston ring production equipment, and more specifically to a sand mold carrying trolley for piston ring stacking casting. Background Art

[0002] Piston rings are important components of locomotive engines. They play the role of sealing, controlling lubricating oil, dissipating heat, and supporting and guiding in the engine. When piston rings are mass-produced, the mold is usually filled with green sand and molten iron is poured into the sand mold. After the casting is cooled and solidified, the sand mold is stacked on a transport cart and transported along the starting end of the molding line to the sand dropout at the other end of the molding line. Finally, the stacked sand molds are manually transported into the sand dropout equipment one by one to remove the sand attached to the surface of the casting.

[0003] The transport trolley in the prior art consists of only a placement plate, two pairs of electrically driven rollers and slides on both sides of the placement plate. Before the transport trolley is used for transportation, workers need to place the sand mold in the center of the placement plate to ensure that the rollers are evenly stressed. Since the weight of a single sand mold is nearly 12 kilograms, it is easy for the rollers to be unbalanced if they are stacked away from the center of the placement plate, which seriously affects the service life of the equipment. Subsequently, the handles at both ends of the sand mold need to be adjusted to a position that is convenient for the clamp to clamp. Since the position of the clamp hook on the unloading clamp designed by our company is fixed, and the unloading clamp can only be moved along the The guide rail performs reciprocating linear motion, so the fixture hook needs to hook the handle on the lowest sand mold to lift the stacked sand molds together. This has certain requirements for the placement of the handle on the lowest sand mold. The handle needs to extend to the outer end of the transport trolley and just correspond to the position of the hook on the unloading fixture to facilitate the unloading fixture to hook it. The current design is extremely unfriendly to new employees. It is easy for the sand mold to be unable to be lifted and transported due to incorrect placement of the handle. All sand molds need to be unloaded and rearranged later. Once the placement of the lowest sand mold deviates, the subsequent labor intensity of the personnel will be extremely high.

[0004] The traditional handling method is not only inefficient, but also extremely labor-intensive for workers. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a clamp for sand mold transfer to solve the above industry problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a sand mold transport trolley for piston ring stack box casting, which can help personnel to accurately locate the positioning handle of the sand mold placed on the transport trolley, making the equipment more durable, and at the same time effectively reducing the assembly difficulty of workers, and providing convenience for subsequent production links. The cooperation of the unloading clamp and the positioning handle to clamp the sand mold and transport the sand dropping operation will be more convenient.

[0007] 2. Technical solution

[0008] To solve the above problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions.

[0009] The cam is provided with a plurality of guide wheels, and the guide wheels are provided with a plurality of guide wheels, and the guide wheels are provided with a plurality of guide wheels, and the guide wheels are provided with a plurality of guide wheels, and the guide wheels are provided with a plurality of guide wheels.

[0010] Furthermore, the edge shapes of the groove bodies of the abutment portion and the handlebar limiting groove are both set to be arc-shaped, and multiple arcs are combined to form an annular limiting contour, the diameter of the annular limiting contour is larger than the diameter of the piston ring sand mold, the piston ring sand mold is placed at the geometric center position on the bottom plate, and the height of the placement position of the piston ring sand mold on the sliding portion is at the same horizontal height as the bottom height of the groove body of the handlebar limiting groove. When the lowest piston ring sand mold is placed, when the outer edges of the piston ring sand mold are respectively combined with the abutment portion and the handlebar limiting groove to form an annular limiting contour, the piston ring sand mold is put in place and the position is at the bottom. At the geometric center of the plate, in this state, the height of the positioning handle on the piston ring sand mold is slightly higher than the slide plate, so it does not affect the rotation adjustment of the piston ring sand mold. The handle limit groove is equivalent to the rotation prompt point of the positioning handle. Then the positioning handle is fine-tuned and rotated to the position corresponding to the handle limit groove. After multiple piston ring sand molds located at the geometric center of the bottom plate are stacked, the pressure on multiple rollers will be relatively evenly distributed, which helps to prevent the risk of damage or excessive wear of the rollers due to uneven force, and the torque or rotational force generated is balanced, which can improve the stability of the equipment when moving forward and backward.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the sliding portion away from the abutting portion is configured as an arc surface whose height gradually decreases from back to front, and a smooth coating is coated on the arc surface to reduce the friction between the surface of the sliding portion and the piston ring sand mold, which saves workers effort when moving the piston ring sand mold to a suitable position on the sliding portion.

[0012] Furthermore, a pair of threaded holes is provided on the sliding portion, and a pair of threaded holes and threaded grooves corresponding to the positions are provided in the middle of the upper end of the base plate. Fastening bolts for fixing the positioning block and the base plate are installed in the threaded holes and the threaded grooves. It is difficult to cast the base plate and the positioning block as one piece, and fixing the two by fastening bolts facilitates assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, a draw hook is welded to one end of the positioning seat away from the sliding part, and a draw ring is welded to one end of the sliding part away from the positioning seat, so as to facilitate pulling the equipment away from the molding line when a failure occurs later.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0016] (1) This solution can help personnel to accurately locate the positioning handle of the sand mold placed on the transport trolley, making the equipment more durable.

[0017] (2) The groove edge shapes of the abutment portion and the handlebar limiting groove are both set to arc shapes, and multiple arc shapes are combined to form an annular limiting contour. The diameter of the annular limiting contour is larger than the diameter of the piston ring sand mold. The piston ring sand mold is placed at the geometric center position on the bottom plate. The height of the piston ring sand mold placement position on the sliding portion is at the same horizontal height as the bottom height of the handlebar limiting groove. When the bottom piston ring sand mold is placed, when the outer edges of the piston ring sand mold are respectively combined with the abutment portion and the handlebar limiting groove to form an annular limiting contour, the piston ring sand mold is placed in place and is located at the geometric center position on the bottom plate. At the center, in this state, the height of the positioning handle on the piston ring sand mold is slightly higher than the slide plate, so it does not affect the rotation adjustment of the piston ring sand mold. The handle limit groove is equivalent to the rotation prompt point of the positioning handle. Then the positioning handle is fine-tuned and rotated to the position corresponding to the handle limit groove. After multiple piston ring sand molds located at the geometric center of the bottom plate are stacked, the pressure on multiple rollers will be relatively evenly distributed, which helps to prevent the risk of damage or excessive wear of the rollers due to uneven force, and the torque or rotational force generated is balanced, which can improve the stability of the equipment when moving forward and backward.

[0018] (3) One end of the sliding part away from the abutting part is set as an arc surface with a height gradually decreasing from back to front. The arc surface is coated with a smooth coating to reduce the friction between the surface of the sliding part and the piston ring sand mold. It will be more labor-saving for workers to move the piston ring sand mold to a suitable position on the sliding part.

[0019] (4) A pair of threaded holes is provided on the sliding part, and a pair of threaded holes and threaded grooves corresponding to the positions are provided in the middle of the upper end of the bottom plate. Fastening bolts for fixing the positioning block and the bottom plate are installed in the threaded holes and the threaded grooves. It is difficult to cast the bottom plate and the positioning block as one piece, and they are fixed by fastening bolts for easy assembly.

[0020] (5) A hook is welded on one end of the positioning seat away from the sliding part, and a pull ring is welded on one end of the sliding part away from the positioning seat, so that the equipment can be pulled away from the molding line when a failure occurs later.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3, the groove edge shapes of the abutment portion 303 and the handle limit groove 401 are all set to arc shape, and multiple arc shapes are combined to form an annular limiting contour, the diameter of the annular limiting contour is larger than the diameter of the piston ring sand mold 5, the piston ring sand mold 5 is placed at the geometric center position on the bottom plate 1, and the height of the placement position of the piston ring sand mold 5 on the sliding portion 302 is at the same horizontal height as the bottom height of the groove body of the handle limit groove 401. When the lowest piston ring sand mold 5 is placed, when the outer edges of the piston ring sand mold 5 are respectively in the annular limiting contour formed by the combination of the abutment portion 303 and the handle limit groove 401, the piston ring sand mold 5 is placed in place and the position is located at the geometric center position on the bottom plate 1.
