Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lost foam cast iron casting, and more specifically to an automatic blanking weighing machine for casting. Background Art
[0002] The casting process for automotive stamping dies involves nine major steps, of which smelting molten iron is the most critical. The smelting process requires composition adjustment. Cast iron products are made by melting a combination of pig iron, scrap steel, recarburizer, ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, copper alloy, ferromolybdenum, nickel alloy, inoculant, and spheroidizer. Due to varying product technical requirements and composition, operators are required to adjust the alloy composition of the molten iron according to operational instructions. The alloys required by the technical specifications must be weighed and placed into the smelting furnace. Since the alloys are customized by each smelter in terms of size and shape, no machine can match the specific requirements. Most foundries perform manual weighing and placement, which increases the labor intensity of operators. Therefore, machines that improve operational methods are urgently needed.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors discovered that the metal smelting industry has the most arduous working environment among various industries in the country. Operators work under various environmental factors such as high temperature, dust, and odor. The composition adjustment in the smelting process is to put various alloys into the melting furnace. It is not only physically demanding to put them in, but also to calculate, weigh, move, and even crush them in the early stage to adjust the qualified product composition. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have studied and improved the existing structure and provided an automatic unloading weighing machine for casting, in order to achieve the purpose of greater practical value.
