An upper hydraulic cylinder is provided on the top plate. The piston rod of the upper hydraulic cylinder penetrates through the top plate. The piston rod of the upper hydraulic cylinder is connected with an upper mold.

[0004] However, when casting castings with different shapes and sizes, different low-pressure casting machines need to be replaced to cast castings with different shapes and sizes, which is rather troublesome and the casting efficiency is relatively low. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to facilitate the casting of castings with different shapes and sizes and improve the casting efficiency, the present application provides a low-pressure casting machine.

[0006] A low-pressure casting machine provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme: It includes a workbench, an upper mold and two lower molds are arranged on the workbench. The upper mold is arranged directly above the lower molds. The two lower molds are symmetrically arranged on the workbench with the upper mold as the symmetry axis. The upper mold can be reciprocally slid in a positionable manner in the vertical direction. The two lower molds are slidably connected to the workbench so as to approach or move away from each other synchronously in the horizontal direction. The two lower molds are detachably connected to the workbench.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, when casting castings with different shapes and sizes, only the lower mold on the workbench needs to be disassembled and replaced with a lower mold adapted to the size requirements of the casting, which is convenient for casting castings with different shapes and sizes and improves the casting efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, a dovetail slide bar is arranged on the lower mold. The length direction of the dovetail slide bar is parallel to the sliding direction of the lower mold. A dovetail groove for the dovetail slide bar to slide and be embedded is opened on the upper surface of the workbench. The depth direction of the dovetail groove is opened in the vertical direction. The length direction of the dovetail groove is parallel to the sliding direction of the lower mold.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the dovetail slide bar is slidably embedded in the dovetail groove to provide a guiding function for the sliding of the lower mold, and the shapes of the dovetail slide bar and the dovetail groove limit other relative movements of the lower mold except in the sliding direction, which improves the casting accuracy to a certain extent.

[0010] Preferably, the dovetail groove penetrates through one side wall of the workbench along the sliding direction of the lower mold. Two mounting plates are perpendicularly arranged on both sides of the workbench with respect to the upper surface of the workbench. The two mounting plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the workbench. A driving cylinder for driving the lower mold to slide is arranged on the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is reciprocally slidably connected to the workbench in a vertically positionable manner.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the dovetail groove penetrates through one side wall of the workbench, and the lower mold can slide along the dovetail groove to be disassembled from the workbench. The setting of the mounting plate hinders the sliding of the lower mold. When the lower mold needs to be disassembled, the mounting plate is slid upward in the vertical direction to provide an avoidance for the sliding of the lower mold.

[0012] Preferably, a T-shaped push block is arranged on the workbench. The piston rod of the driving cylinder vertically passes through the mounting plate and is perpendicularly connected to the T-shaped push block. A T-shaped groove for the T-shaped push block to slide and be embedded is formed on one side wall of the lower mold away from the workbench, and the T-shaped groove penetrates through the upper surface of the lower mold in the vertical direction.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during the upward sliding process of the mounting plate, the driving cylinder and the T-shaped push block slide upward accordingly. After the lower mold is installed, the mounting plate slides downward to drive the T-shaped push block to slide and insert into the T-shaped groove. Since the T-shaped push block is embedded in the T-shaped groove, the reciprocating movement of the piston rod of the driving cylinder drives the lower mold to slide together.

[0014] Preferably, it further includes a material receiving and transporting member. The material receiving and transporting member is located on one side of the workbench. The material receiving and transporting member is used to receive the castings after casting. A pushing member is arranged on the workbench. The pushing member and the material receiving and transporting member are respectively located on opposite sides of the workbench. The pushing member is used to push the castings after casting onto the material receiving and transporting member.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing member pushes the castings after casting on the workbench onto the material receiving and transporting member, and the material receiving and transporting member facilitates transporting the castings after casting to the next process.

[0016] Preferably, the material receiving and transporting member includes a material receiving table and a transport vehicle. The material receiving table is disposed directly above the transport vehicle. The material receiving table is used for receiving the castings that have completed casting. The material receiving table and the transport vehicle are connected by an elastic member. Four universal wheels are provided at the bottom of the transport vehicle, and the four universal wheels are distributed in a rectangular shape at the bottom of the transport vehicle.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member between the material receiving table and the transport vehicle provides buffering for the castings that have completed casting and are transported to the material receiving table. The four universal wheels distributed in a rectangular shape improve the convenience of the transport vehicle.

[0018] Preferably, at least one cooling fan is provided on the workbench. A plurality of the cooling fans are arranged on the workbench at equal angular intervals along the circumferential direction of the central axis of the workbench, and the cooling fans face the upper surface of the workbench.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the plurality of cooling fans provide a good cooling effect for the castings that have completed casting.

[0020] Preferably, an adjusting block is provided on the workbench. The adjusting block corresponds to the cooling fan one by one. The adjusting block can be positioned and reciprocally slid in the vertical direction. One end of the cooling fan is provided with an adjusting ball. An adjusting ball sleeve is provided on the adjusting block. The adjusting ball is embedded in the adjusting ball sleeve, and the adjusting ball is rotationally connected to the adjusting ball sleeve with damping.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the height and the orientation angle of the cooling fan can be adjusted.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. When casting castings of different shapes and sizes, only the lower mold on the workbench needs to be disassembled and replaced with a lower mold adapted to the size requirements of the castings, which is convenient for casting castings of different shapes and sizes and improves the casting efficiency;

[0024] 2. The dovetail slide bar is slidably embedded in the dovetail groove to provide a guiding function for the sliding of the lower mold;
