Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting molds, in particular to a spherical riser application mold with enhanced shrinkage feeding efficiency. Background Art
[0002] In vertical green sand casting, spherical risers have been widely used for shrinkage feeding due to their high efficiency. However, in actual production applications, although the theoretical feeding capacity of the risers is sufficient, the actual castings may still have shrinkage. Further improvements are needed to the spherical riser structure in the mold to improve the casting defects.
[0003] Publication No. CN219233895U discloses a lightweight bracket casting structure comprising a casting body, including a vertically positioned horn, a hot spot, and a spherical riser. The top of the casting body is a machined surface, and the spherical riser is located on the machined surface. The spherical riser design provides excellent shrinkage compensation, effectively preventing shrinkage at the hot spot and reducing scrap rates.
[0004] In actual production, a QT450 gear casting only uses a spherical riser, and the casting has shrinkage defects.
[0005] Publication number CN108772537A discloses an air-insulated ball riser, comprising a spherical riser and a riser neck disposed at the bottom of the spherical riser. The spherical riser has an air outlet at the top end, distal from the riser neck. At least one air barrier is provided between the inner and outer walls of the spherical riser. The air barrier is isolated from the atmosphere. Compared to conventional risers, this air-insulated ball riser is 10%-15% lighter, thereby reducing the production cost of sand mold ball risers, lowering the thermal conductivity of the sand mold, and increasing the shrinkage feeding efficiency of the ball riser by 10%, thereby improving the process yield of castings.
[0006] The prior art belongs to an open riser, and further improves the spherical riser shape; the utility model belongs to a concealed riser, and the improvement method is different from that of the prior art.
