Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gating system with negative pressure air extraction, belonging to the field of casting facilities, and involving facilities for synchronous negative pressure air extraction around the gating system. Background Art
[0002] A gating system is a funnel for pouring molten metal, usually made of ceramic or graphite materials. The gating systems currently used by casting enterprises are divided into two types: slag-filtering and non-slag-filtering. The slag-filtering gating system has a ceramic filter screen at the bottom of the gating system. Its advantage is that it can filter out impurities in the molten metal, but its disadvantage is that the filter screen affects the rapid discharge of the gas generated by the combustion of the polystyrene mold core, resulting in the formation of pores in the castings during pouring. The non-slag-filtering gating system is funnel-shaped with a straight-through interior. Its advantages are fast feeding and fast discharge of the gas generated by the combustion of the polystyrene mold core, but its disadvantages are that it cannot filter out impurities in the molten metal, affects the quality of the castings, and has a high rejection rate. Therefore, there is a need for a gating system that can both filter out impurities in the molten metal and quickly discharge the gas generated by the combustion of the polystyrene mold core, with a low porosity and high yield rate of the castings during pouring.

Multiple mesh holes are provided on each groove from top to bottom, and the mesh holes penetrate vertically from the inner wall of the filter screen to the outside of the filter screen. The filtering area of the filter screen is increased, the number of mesh holes is increased, and the partitions support the waste slag to prevent blockage of the mesh holes, thus accelerating the filtering speed. A molten iron ceramic filter screen for casting includes a funnel-shaped mesh wall, a fixing ring, partitions, grooves, and mesh holes.

[0013] Advantages: The gating systems currently used in foundry enterprises are divided into two types: slag filtering and non-slag filtering. The slag filtering gating system has a ceramic filter screen at the bottom of the gating system. The filter screen affects the rapid discharge of the gas generated by the combustion of the polystyrene core, resulting in the casting being prone to porosity. The non-slag filtering gating system is funnel-shaped and has a straight-through type inside.

J-shaped air extraction pipes and collection pipes made of ceramics are installed around the connector. Molten metal is injected into the sand mold through the gating system. The polystyrene core mold is burned into gas by the molten metal. The centrifugal fan extracts the gas inside the sand mold through the collection pipe, connector, and air extraction pipe to create negative pressure inside the sand mold, achieving the effects of filtering out impurities in the molten metal and quickly discharging the gas generated by the combustion of the polystyrene core mold, resulting in low porosity and high yield of the castings.

[0022] See Appendix Figures 1-2 , The gating port 1 is a funnel-shaped made of ceramic. The filter screen 2 installed at the bottom of the gating port 1 is a bowl-shaped made of ceramic, and the mesh diameter is 5 - 20 mm.
[0023] See Appendix Figures 1-3 , The connector 3 installed outside the gating port 1 is a hollow circular ring made of ceramic. The installation hole 6 provided inside the connector 3 is a tapered hole with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, and the inner wall of the installation hole 6 is connected to the outer wall of the gating port 1.
[0024] See Appendix Figure 1 and 3 , The 4 - 6 circular air inlet holes 7 evenly provided at the bottom of the connector 3 are circular, and the positions of the air inlet holes 7 are close to the inner edge of the connector 3.
[0025] See Appendix Figure 1 and 3 , The 4 - 8 circular suction pipe connection holes 8 evenly provided on the side of the connector 3 are circular. The suction pipe 5 installed outside each suction pipe connection hole 8 is J-shaped. The suction pipe 5 is made of metal, the elbow at the top is downward, and the elbow is made of ceramic.
[0026] See Appendix Figure 1 and 3 , The collection pipe connection hole 9 provided in the front of the connector 3 is circular.

The collection pipe 4 is made of metal, the elbow at the top is upward, and the elbow is connected to the centrifugal fan through a steel wire hose.
[0027] Briefly describe the usage process of the gating system with negative pressure air extraction. Workers load casting sand and polystyrene cores into the sand box, and then fill the casting sand around the polystyrene cores to the same height as above the cores and compact the casting sand. Then, at the central part above the polystyrene core, use a hole opener to dig a circular near-liquid opening in the ceramic insulation layer of the core. The diameter of the near-liquid opening is 6 - 10 cm smaller than the diameter of the communicating vessel 3. Workers use a lifting tool to hoist the assembled gating system 1, communicating vessel 3, collection pipe 4, and exhaust pipe 5 as a whole onto the polystyrene core, so that the filter screen 2 just falls into the excavated near-liquid opening and the communicating vessel 3 completely covers the near-liquid opening. Then, continue to fill the casting sand above the polystyrene core and use a vibrator to compact the casting sand. Workers connect the wire hose above the air inlet of the centrifugal fan to the collection pipe 4 and turn on the centrifugal fan. Workers operate the pouring ladle to slowly pour the molten metal into the gating system 1. The molten metal flows into the polystyrene core through the mesh holes of the filter screen 2. The polystyrene core quickly burns into gas under the roasting of the molten metal. At this time, the interiors of the exhaust pipe 5, communicating vessel 3, and collection pipe 4 are all under negative pressure due to the air extraction effect of the centrifugal fan. The gas generated by the burning of the polystyrene core is quickly sucked into the exhaust pipe 5 and the air inlet hole 7, then enters the interior of the communicating vessel 3, and finally is sucked into the centrifugal fan through the interior of the collection pipe 4. The centrifugal fan pressurizes the gas and sends it into the dust collector. After pouring is completed, turn off the centrifugal fan and wait for the sand box to cool naturally.
