Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, the cast iron manhole cover casting mold with intelligent adjustment of casting temperature and pressure in this embodiment includes a mold body 1, a temperature adjustment mechanism 2 and a pressure adjustment mechanism 3. The mold body 1 is provided with at least one mold cavity, and the shape of the mold cavity matches the designed shape of the cast iron manhole cover. The mold body 1 includes an upper mold 11 and a lower mold 12. The upper mold 11 abuts against the lower mold 12. A positioning rod is arranged on the surface of the upper mold 11, and a positioning sleeve adapted to the positioning rod is arranged on the lower mold 12. When the upper mold 11 abuts against the lower mold 12, the positioning rod is nested with the positioning sleeve for positioning to ensure accurate alignment of the mold during the casting process. The lower surface of the lower mold 12 is fixedly connected to the mold base 13. A liquid inlet mechanism 14 is arranged at the lower end of the lower mold 12. One side of the liquid inlet mechanism 14 is connected to the liquid injection port 15 through a pipeline. The liquid injection port 15 is fixed on one side of the mold base 13. The molten iron is injected into the liquid inlet mechanism 14 through the liquid injection port 15, and the iron water cools and solidifies in the mold cavity to form a cast iron manhole cover. During the casting process, the temperature adjustment mechanism 2 and the pressure adjustment mechanism 3 ensure the quality of the casting.

[0027] Specifically, the liquid inlet mechanism 14 includes a liquid inlet pump 141 and a liquid inlet pipeline 142. The upper end of the liquid inlet pump 141 is connected to the equalizing tank 143. The liquid inlet pipelines 142 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the equalizing tank 143, ensuring the uniform distribution of the casting liquid in the mold cavity. The liquid inlet pipelines 142 are connected to the mold cavity. The casting liquid is pressurized into the equalizing tank 143 by the liquid inlet pump 141, ensuring that the liquid inlet heights of the two liquid inlet pipelines 142 are the same and uniformly transported into the mold cavity. Through the coordinated operation of the liquid inlet pump 141 and the vacuum pump 32, and in cooperation with the vacuum pump 32 to adjust the pressure in the mold cavity, the pressure in the mold cavity can be accurately controlled, improving the quality of manhole cover casting.

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] In the casting process of traditional cast iron manhole cover molds, the control of temperature and pressure often relies on manual experience and on-site operation, making it difficult to achieve precise control and resulting in unstable product quality.

[0030] In response to the above problems, referring to Figure 2 - Figure 3 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the temperature adjustment mechanism 2 includes a temperature display 21, a water-cooling pipeline 22, and a heater 23. The temperature adjustment mechanism 2 also includes temperature sensors arranged at multiple key positions of the mold body 1 for real-time monitoring of the mold temperature. The temperature display 21 is electrically connected to the heater 23 and the temperature sensors respectively. The temperature display 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the mold body 1. The water-cooling pipeline 22 and the heater 23 are evenly distributed in the mold body 1 respectively. A flow valve is installed on one side of the water-cooling pipeline 22, and the flow valve is electrically connected to the temperature display 21 for adjusting the flow rate of the cooling medium to control the cooling speed of the mold.

[0031] The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 includes a pressure display 31, a vacuum pump 32, and a vacuum pipeline 33. The pressure display 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the mold body 1. The pressure display 31 is electrically connected to the vacuum pump 32. The vacuum pipeline 33 is connected to the mold cavity through the vacuum pipeline 33. The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a pressure sensor 34. The pressure sensor 34 is in direct contact with the fluid medium inside the mold cavity to accurately measure the pressure. The pressure sensor 34 is installed on the upper surface of the upper mold pressing plate 16 and is electrically connected to the pressure display 31.

[0032] Specifically in this embodiment, before the casting starts, a temperature curve is preset according to the material and specifications of the cast iron manhole cover. During the casting process, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the mold in real time and compares it with the preset curve. If the measured temperature deviates from the preset curve, the temperature display 21 adjusts the power of the heater 23 or the flow rate of the water cooling pipe 22 to quickly return the temperature to the preset value. According to the requirements of the casting process, an initial pressure and a pressure change range are preset. When pouring the molten iron, according to the feedback signal of the pressure sensor 34, the pressure display 31 adjusts the vacuum pumping power of the vacuum pump 32 to ensure that the molten iron is evenly distributed in the mold cavity and fully solidifies. During the solidification process, the pressure is adjusted as needed to prevent defects in the cast iron manhole cover.

[0033] Embodiment 3

[0034] To better realize the automatic control of the temperature and pressure of the mold body 1, please refer to Figure 4 , the temperature adjustment mechanism 2 and the pressure adjustment mechanism 3 constitute a hardware intelligent adjustment module. The intelligent adjustment module includes:

[0035] A central control unit, which is used to receive the signals of the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor 34, and automatically adjusts the flow rate of the water cooling pipe 22, the power of the heater 23, and the working state of the vacuum pump 32 according to the preset parameters, realizing the centralized control of the temperature and pressure of the mold body 1, simplifying the system structure, and improving the control efficiency; a display and operation unit, where the temperature display 21 and the pressure display 31 are provided with display screens on their surfaces, which are used to display the real-time collected temperature and pressure data according to the signals of the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor 34, and allow the operator to input adjustment instructions; a data storage unit, which is used to store the historical temperature and pressure data for the convenience of analyzing and optimizing the casting process.
