Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of casting equipment, in particular to a casting equipment with good casting setting effect. Background Art
[0002] Existing casting equipment generally includes a casting machine and a casting conveyor belt arranged beside the casting machine. A casting mold and a manipulator are installed on the casting machine. After the casting mold casts a casting, the manipulator grabs and transfers the casting to the casting conveyor belt, and the casting conveyor belt conveys and discharges the casting. Since the just-cast casting has a high temperature, during the process of being conveyed and discharged by the conveyor belt, the casting, which has already been separated from the casting mold and is no longer restricted by the mold for setting, is prone to deformation under its own weight. To avoid deformation, it is necessary to let the just-cast casting stay in the casting mold for a period of time to cool down under the restriction of the mold for setting. Since the mold needs to wait for the casting to cool down completely before starting to cast the next casting, this causes time waste and affects production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a casting equipment with good casting setting effect, in which the cast casting is not easy to deform during the cooling process, and during the cooling process of the casting, it will not affect the mold to cast the next casting and does not affect production efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a casting equipment with good casting setting effect, including a casting machine, on which a casting mold and a manipulator are installed. A setting mold matching the shape of the casting is arranged beside the manipulator, and the manipulator grabs the casting cast by the casting mold and places it in the setting mold for cooling and setting.
[0005] Furthermore, an air-cooling mechanism for air-cooling the casting placed in the setting mold is provided.
[0006] Furthermore, it includes a slide rail and a slider slidably installed on the slide rail. The air-cooling mechanism is specifically installed on the slider, and a driving motor is provided to drive the slider to slide along the slide rail to drive the air-cooling mechanism to move relative to the setting mold.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing device for fixing the casting placed in the setting mold is provided.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a telescopic cylinder arranged directly above the setting mold, and the telescopic cylinder extends downward to stick to the casting placed in the setting mold to achieve fixation.
[0009] Furthermore, a swingable pressing block is provided at the lower end of the telescopic cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, a blanking conveyor belt for conveying the cooled and set casting is provided.
[0011] Further, a cooling and shaping cabinet is provided beside the manipulator, and the shaping die is specifically installed in the cooling and shaping cabinet.
[0012] Further, a control electric box for operation is provided on the cabinet wall of the cooling and shaping cabinet, and a controller for controlling the connection of each electrical component is built in the control electric box.
[0013] Further, the control electric box is hinged on the cabinet wall of the cooling and shaping cabinet and can rotate relative to the cooling and shaping cabinet around the hinge to change the orientation.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The casting cast by the casting mold is grabbed by the manipulator and placed into the shaping die for cooling. Since the shape of the shaping die matches the shape of the casting, the casting is restricted and shaped by the shaping die during the cooling process and is not easily deformed under the action of its own weight, and the shaping effect is better; the cast casting does not need to be cooled and shaped in the casting mold as in the prior art. Therefore, during the cooling of the casting, the mold can be used normally to continue casting the next casting, without affecting the production efficiency. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0020] The following further describes the present invention in detail in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] The casting equipment includes a casting machine, on which a casting mold and a manipulator are installed; beside the manipulator, there is a cooling and shaping cabinet and a blanking conveyor belt. The manipulator first grabs the castings cast by the casting mold and places them in the cooling and shaping cabinet for cooling and shaping, and then grabs and places the cooled castings on the blanking conveyor belt for blanking. The casting machine, the casting mold, the manipulator, and the blanking conveyor belt are all prior arts, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail here.
[0022] The cooling and shaping cabinet 1 is shown in Figure 1 , on the left side wall of the cabinet body, there is a control electric box 11 for operation. The control electric box 11 is internally provided with a controller (not shown in the figure), which is controlled to connect all the electrical components in the cooling and shaping cabinet 1. The front part of the control electric box 11 is hinged to the left side wall of the cabinet body and can rotate relative to the cooling and shaping cabinet 1 around the hinge to change the orientation, which is convenient for production personnel to operate in different directions. On the front surface of the cooling and shaping cabinet 1, six cooling stations 12 are arranged in an array, and the internal structures of these cooling stations 12 are the same. The internal structure of one of the cooling stations 12 is as shown in Figure 2 . A mounting plate 13 is placed horizontally, and a shaping mold 2 placed horizontally is bolted to the mounting plate 13. A shaping cavity 21 matching the shape of the casting (not shown in the figure) is formed by partial downward depression on the upper surface of the shaping mold 2. The manipulator (not shown in the figure) can grab the castings cast by the casting mold (not shown in the figure) and place them in the shaping cavity 21 for natural cooling. The shape of the shaping cavity 21 of the shaping mold 2 matches that of the casting, and the casting is shaped by the limitation of the shaping cavity 21 and is not easy to deform, so the shaping effect is better. During the cooling of the casting, it is placed in the shaping mold 2, without occupying the casting mold, so the casting mold can be used normally to continue casting the next casting, without affecting the production efficiency.
[0023] Above the shaping mold 2, five fixing devices 3 are arranged in sequence from left to right. Taking the first fixing device 3 on the left as an example, see Figure 3 . The fixing device 3 includes a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 31, and the controller is controlled to connect the telescopic cylinder 31. The top of the telescopic cylinder 31 is detachably bolted to the top wall of the cooling and shaping cabinet 1; the telescopic cylinder 31 has a downward telescopic rod 311, and a connecting block 32 is bolted to the lower surface of the telescopic rod 311. A pressing block 33 is hinged and installed below the connecting block 32, and the pressing block 33 can swing back and forth relative to the connecting block 32. The controller controls the telescopic cylinder 31 to drive its telescopic rod 311 to extend downward, driving the connecting block 32 and the pressing block 33 to move downward together until the bottom surface of the pressing block 33 abuts against the shaping mold 2 (see Figure 2) The casting in the sizing cavity 21 fixes the casting, i.e., fixes the casting. If the top surface of the casting is an inclined plane, the pressure block 33 can swing back and forth for self-adjustment when it adheres to the top surface of the casting. In other embodiments, the pressure block 33 can be directly on the telescopic rod 311 of the telescopic cylinder 31, and then the connecting block 32 does not need to be provided; a heat-resistant soft cushion can be installed at the bottom of the pressure block 33. The structures of the remaining four fixing devices 3 are the same as the first one on the left, which will not be elaborated here, and each fixing device 3 can work independently.
[0024] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , below the first telescopic cylinder 31 on the left, there is an L-shaped first mounting bracket 41 formed by splicing aluminum alloy plates, and a triangular reinforcing block 411 is installed in the first mounting bracket 41. The rear side of the movable adjustment plate 43 is movably connected to the front side of the right part of the first mounting bracket 41, and the front side of the movable adjustment plate 43 is movably connected to the rear side of the bottom of the first telescopic cylinder 31 on the left. In this way, the first mounting bracket 41 can move up and down relative to the first telescopic cylinder 31 on the left to achieve height adjustment. Below the first telescopic cylinder 31 on the right, there is an L-shaped second mounting bracket 42 also formed by splicing aluminum alloy plates. The second mounting bracket 42 is similar in structure to the first mounting bracket 41, only with slightly different dimensions. The second mounting bracket 42 is movably installed below the first telescopic cylinder 31 on the right in the same way through another movable adjustment plate 43, and is arranged at an interval facing the first mounting bracket 41. A rodless drive motor 5 horizontally placed left and right is installed between the first mounting bracket 41 and the second mounting bracket 42, and its left and right ends are respectively connected to the first mounting bracket 41 and the second mounting bracket 42. The bottom of the rodless drive motor 5 is a slide rail 51 structure, and two sliders 52 are slidably installed on the slide rail 51. An air-cooling mechanism (not shown in the figure) is installed on the bottom surface of each slider 52. The air-cooling mechanism can be a fan or a blower. The controller controls the connection of these two air-cooling mechanisms respectively. When the air-cooling mechanism is controlled by the controller, it blows air towards the sizing die 2 to air-cool the casting placed in the sizing cavity 21 of the sizing die 2, improving the cooling efficiency of the casting. The controller controls the connection of the rodless drive motor 5. When the rodless drive motor 5 is controlled by the controller, it drives (either one) slider 52 to slide left and right along the slide rail 51, driving the air-cooling mechanism to move relative to the sizing die 2, so that the air-cooling mechanism can move to different positions to air-cool different parts of the casting, further improving the cooling efficiency of the casting. In other embodiments, the rodless drive motor 5 can be not used and replaced with a lead screw stepping motor.
[0025] As described above, it is only the implementation manner of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art make non-substantive changes or substitutions based on the present invention, and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
