Detailed Embodiment

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present utility model provides a molding line based on a surface drying furnace placed at the top, including: a first three-dimensional library 100 having an inbound and outbound workstation 110, an inbound and outbound side 120, and an outbound line 130; a surface drying furnace 200 arranged on the top of the first three-dimensional library 100, with a surface drying furnace inlet 210 and a surface drying furnace outlet 220 configured on the surface drying furnace 200; a transfer roller path vehicle 300 capable of driving into or out of the inbound and outbound workstation 110; a first lifting roller path vehicle 400 located on one side of the first three-dimensional library 100, with the outbound line 130, the inbound and outbound workstation 110, and the surface drying furnace inlet 210 corresponding to the first lifting roller path vehicle 400 respectively; a second lifting roller path vehicle 500 located on the other side of the first three-dimensional library 100, with the surface drying furnace outlet 220, the inbound and outbound side 120, and the outbound line 130 corresponding to the second lifting roller path vehicle 500 respectively.

[0020] It is easy to understand that the first automated storage and retrieval system 100 is a common automated storage and retrieval system structure. The molds to be stored are transported to different storage positions by the transfer vehicle or manipulator inside it, or the molds at the storage positions are transported to the outbound position 110; a power drive is arranged at the top of the first automated storage and retrieval system 100 along the direction of article movement, such as a conveyor belt, a chain machine, a roller track vehicle, etc.; the structures of the first lifting roller track vehicle 400 and the second lifting roller track vehicle 500 also belong to the prior art. For example, two hydraulic cylinders are used to realize the lifting of the pallet on the roller track vehicle, and the gear rack is used for synchronous movement to prevent the pallet from shaking and improve the stability of the pallet; when the number of layers of the automated storage and retrieval system is relatively high, it is also possible to consider the cooperation of a speed reducer with a gear rack, with a conveyor chain, and with a steel wire rope to realize the climbing of the pallet.

[0021] In one embodiment, the molding line is first applicable to the transfer and surface drying of sand molds (or cores). The specific transfer process is as follows: The sand molds (or cores) that have not been surface dried after flow coating are transported to the inbound and outbound position 110 by the transfer roller track vehicle 300. Then, the pallet of the first lifting roller track vehicle 400 receives the sand molds (or cores) that have not been surface dried and raises them to the entrance 210 of the surface drying furnace. The sand molds (or cores) that have not been surface dried enter the surface drying furnace 200 for surface drying, and after surface drying, they are removed from the outlet 220 of the surface drying furnace. The pallet of the second lifting roller track vehicle 500 receives the sand molds (or cores) at the outlet 220 of the surface drying furnace and lowers them to the same height as the ground, facilitating the lifting of the sand molds (or cores).

[0022] In a specific embodiment, taking the direction in the attached Figure 1 as a reference, the first lifting roller track vehicle 400 is located on the right side of the first automated storage and retrieval system 100, the second lifting roller track vehicle 500 is located on the left side of the first automated storage and retrieval system 100, and the transfer roller track vehicle 300 travels in the front-rear direction; then the transfer path of the sand molds (or cores) is as follows: transfer roller track vehicle 300 - inbound and outbound position 110 - enter the first lifting roller track vehicle 400 to the right - rise to the entrance 210 of the surface drying furnace - enter the surface drying furnace 200 - go to the left to the outlet 220 of the surface drying furnace - go to the left to the second lifting roller track vehicle 500 - lower to the same height as the ground.

[0023] The molding line of the present application is also suitable for the transportation and storage of molds, and the surface drying furnace 200 can stop working during the transportation of the molds. The specific transportation process is: the mold is sent to the entry and exit station 110 by the transfer roller car 300, and then the pallet of the first lifting roller car 400 takes over the mold and lifts it to the entrance 210 of the surface drying furnace. After the mold passes through the surface drying furnace 200, it is moved out from the exit 220 of the surface drying furnace. The pallet of the second lifting roller car 500 takes over the mold at the exit 220 of the surface drying furnace, drops to the corresponding entry and exit side 120, and is held by the machine in the first stereoscopic warehouse 100. The manipulator or transfer vehicle moves the mold to the storage station for storage; when the mold is in use, the manipulator or transfer vehicle in the first stereoscopic warehouse 100 is used to move the mold to the second lifting roller vehicle 500, and the second lifting roller vehicle 500 is lowered to the outbound line 130, and the pallet of the first lifting roller vehicle 400 is lowered to the outbound line 130, and then the mold is transferred to the first lifting roller vehicle 400 using the outbound line 130, and then the pallet of the first lifting roller vehicle 400 is raised to the in-and-out station 110, and finally the transfer roller vehicle 300 receives the mold and drives away, so that the mold can be taken.

[0024] After the surface drying furnace 200 is placed on the top of the first stereoscopic warehouse 100, the molding line of the present application saves the occupied area of the workshop. With the coordination of the structure and action of the first stereoscopic warehouse 100, the first lifting roller car 400 and the second lifting roller car 500, not only the versatility of the top path transportation of the first stereoscopic warehouse 100, the three-dimensional operation of the mold, sand mold and sand core is realized, but also the non-interference operation between the three items is met, the three-dimensional layout of the molding line is realized, and the three functions of sand core surface drying, sand mold surface drying and mold storage are met at the same time, which greatly saves the space in the workshop and meets the requirements of realizing the automated production of various types, specifications and small batches of castings.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first three-dimensional warehouse 100 has multiple layers of storage racks, and the access side 120 is connected to any of the storage racks. In the structural design of the three-dimensional warehouse, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of molds and to avoid interference between entry and exit, the side of each layer of storage racks close to the second lifting roller 500 is configured as an open type, thereby forming the access side 120, so that the second lifting roller vehicle 500 can stop at any layer except the exit line 130, so that there is no need to arrange a lifting mechanism in the first three-dimensional warehouse 100.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the surface drying oven 200 is arranged along the length direction of the first stereoscopic warehouse 100. Figure 1 As shown, the surface drying furnace 200 is placed horizontally on the top of the first stereoscopic warehouse 100, so that the entrance 210 of the surface drying furnace directly corresponds to the entry and exit station 110, and the exit 220 of the surface drying furnace directly corresponds to the entry side 120. The arrangement according to the order of transfer of the goods can reduce the number of times the goods are transferred and compact the spatial layout of the molding line.

[0027] In one embodiment, the outbound line 130 is located at the bottommost layer of the first three-dimensional warehouse 100 and is placed below the ground, and the transfer roller path vehicle 300 is located above the outbound line 130 and is placed on the ground. First, setting the outbound line 130 below the ground can not only achieve the sunken layout of the first three-dimensional warehouse 100 and reduce the overall height of the molding line, but also hide the transfer route of the mold.

[0028] In another embodiment, the outbound line 130 is located above the ground, and the transfer roller path vehicle 300 is placed on the ground; in this embodiment, the outbound path of the article mold is placed in the air, so the process of mold outbound correspondingly changes: the mold outbound from the outbound line 130 is transferred to the first lifting roller path vehicle 400, and the first lifting roller path vehicle 400 descends to the inbound and outbound work station 110.

[0029] In order to meet the storage requirements of other articles, in the present application, a second three-dimensional warehouse 600 is further provided on the side of the first lifting roller path vehicle 400 away from the first three-dimensional warehouse 100. The advantage of arranging the second three-dimensional warehouse 600 close to the first lifting roller path vehicle 400 is that the lifting function of the first lifting roller path vehicle 400 can be used to store other articles (such as sand molds, core boxes, cores, sand molds, etc.) in multiple layers, realizing the sharing of equipment, saving space and reducing the molding cost at the same time.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not restrictive. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
