Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of casting, in particular to an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 The heat-resistant steel turbine casing casting shown in the figure has a flow channel depression of about 30% during the inspection of the inner cavity of the turbine casing casting. There is no shrinkage compensation channel or shrinkage compensation source at the shrinkage area, and the casting forms shrinkage during the solidification process. Specifically, the shrinkage area of ​​this turbine casing casting is in the tongue area of ​​the flow channel on the volute. The main reason for the shrinkage is that the tongue area of ​​the flow channel on the volute is an isolated hot node area with no shrinkage compensation source. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, to provide an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell, and to solve the technical problem that shrinkage depressions are formed in the tongue area of ​​the upper flow channel of the turbine shell casting during the casting process of the turbine shell casting caused by the inner cavity sand core in the past.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell, which is characterized in that it includes an inner cavity sand core body, on which a quenching sand core is pre-embedded, and the position of the quenching sand core in the inner cavity sand core body corresponds to the upper flow channel tongue area of ​​the turbine shell casting.

[0005] Furthermore, the chilled sand core includes two molding surfaces, located at a first molding surface and a second molding surface respectively; the first molding surface faces the side where the turbine shell and the intermediate shell are assembled and installed; and the second molding surface faces the middle hole of the turbine shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the chilled sand core comprises three assembly surfaces, and the chilled sand core cooperates with the inner cavity sand core body via the three assembly surfaces.

[0007] The beneficial effect of the utility model is as follows: the utility model provides an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell. When the inner cavity sand core is used to cast a heat-resistant steel turbine shell, a quenching sand core is pre-embedded on the inner cavity sand core body corresponding to the tongue area of ​​the upper flow channel of the turbine shell casting. The quenching sand core can significantly increase the cooling rate of the casting, improve the end area of ​​the hot node of the volute casting, and thus improve the poor shrinkage problem of the tongue area of ​​the upper flow channel of the inner cavity of the casting.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0012] The present application provides an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0013] In order to solve the technical problem that the inner cavity sand core in the prior art forms a shrinkage depression in the tongue area of ​​the upper flow channel of the turbine casing casting 1 during the casting of the turbine casing casting 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine casing, which is described in detail below.

[0014] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an inner cavity sand core for a heat-resistant steel turbine shell includes an inner cavity sand core body 2, on which a quenching sand core 3 is pre-embedded, and the position of the quenching sand core 3 in the inner cavity sand core body 2 corresponds to the upper flow channel tongue area of ​​the turbine shell casting 1.
