Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting molds, in particular to a mold for collecting molten iron sand masses in an inner pouring gate. Background Art

[0002] Sand holes are one of the most common defects in green sand casting. Due to the strength of green sand, sand can easily fall out during the sand-mold extrusion process, entering the casting cavity through the gating system and causing sand holes. This defect often results in the casting being scrapped.

[0003] Announcement No. CN221289415U discloses a novel pouring structure for exhaust cover casting. The mold comprises an upper mold and a lower mold, with a cavity formed in the lower mold to match the casting's shape. Several upper mold sides are connected by a common runner, and filters are installed at the locations where the runners diverge. The runners include ingates, cross runners, and vertical runners. Two ingates are connected on either side of the horizontal runner, and the ingates extend through the cross runner with equal lengths at both ends. The same upper mold is fixed at both ends of the two ingates on the same side, and the top of the cross runner is connected to a vertical vertical runner. A semi-enclosed pouring system enables the cross runner to fill quickly, ensures smooth die punching, and provides excellent slag blocking, thus avoiding defects such as sand holes that are easily generated during die punching.

[0004] Publication No. CN114367637B discloses a high-strength green sand casting system for an extra-large traction wheel housing. The casting system includes a molding cavity contoured to the traction wheel housing, a hot riser for injecting molten iron into the molding cavity, several ingating water-inlet fins, several heating risers, and several auxiliary ingating water-inlet fins. The ingating fins of the hot riser are located at the mid-height of the front side panel. The auxiliary ingating water-inlet fins include a first set of auxiliary water-inlet fins connecting the thin-walled annular outer shell and the thin-walled annular inner shell, and a second set of auxiliary water-inlet fins connecting the thin-walled annular inner shell and the central axis cylinder. By shortening the casting filling path, the filling time is reduced, effectively solving the problems of sand holes and thermal node shrinkage.

[0005] The technical solutions for solving the problem of sand holes in the above-mentioned prior art are different from those of the present invention.

[0006] In short, the technical solutions of the above-disclosed technologies, the technical problems to be solved and the beneficial effects produced are all different from those of the present utility model. Regarding the more technical features, technical problems to be solved and the beneficial effects of the present utility model, the above-disclosed technical documents do not provide any technical inspiration.

[0010] Preferably, the angle between the step structure and the bottom surface of the ingate is 90°.

[0011] Preferably, the angle between the step structure and the bottom surface of the ingate is 45°.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model utilizes the characteristics of sand masses in the bottom layer of molten iron, adds a step structure at the gate of the casting system, collects the sand masses in the casting system in the gate step, avoids the sand masses from entering the mold cavity with the molten iron to form sand holes, and reduces the sand hole defects of the casting.
