DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0033] A sand drying device for lost foam casting is designed to provide an efficient and convenient solution for drying molding sand to ensure the best performance of the molding sand during the lost foam casting process.
[0034] The sand drying system primarily consists of a frame, fan housing, heating box, ducting box, and drying box. The frame, serving as the supporting structure for the entire system, is constructed from durable metal to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity. The fan housing, heating box, ducting box, and drying box are sequentially attached to the frame, forming a compact and efficient drying system.
[0035] As the supporting foundation of the entire sand drying system, the bracket is welded from high-strength steel to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the device. The structural design of the bracket fully considers the installation position and layout of each functional box to facilitate subsequent assembly and maintenance.
[0036] The fan housing is tightly fixed to one end of the bracket, with its interior space designed specifically for the fan wheel. A drive motor is mounted on the top or side of the fan housing. The motor's output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling or direct connection. The rotating shaft passes horizontally through the fan housing and is secured to the fan wheel. When the drive motor is activated, the rotating shaft drives the fan wheel to rotate at high speed, generating a powerful airflow.
[0037] The heating box is located adjacent to the fan box, securely connected via a tightly sealed connector. Multiple heating tubes are evenly spaced within the box, typically electrically heated to quickly generate and maintain the desired temperature. A connecting plate, precisely drilled with holes, is placed between the heating box and the ducting box. These holes are positioned to align with the layout of the subsequent air ducting.
[0038] The duct box, located between the heating and drying boxes, serves as an airflow channel. Its interior is equipped with air ducts corresponding to the holes in the connecting plate. These ducts are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that airflow is not contaminated or lost during transmission. After passing through the connecting plate, the ducts extend along the inner wall of the duct box and ultimately pass through the side walls or bottom of the drying box to enter its interior.
[0039] The drying box is the core component of the sand drying system. Its structural design fully considers the uniform distribution of airflow and the thorough drying of the molding sand. Sealed doors are installed on the top or side of the drying box to facilitate the operator's insertion and removal of the drying frame. A rotating rod is vertically installed in the center of the drying box. The bottom of the rotating rod is connected to the bottom wall of the drying box via a bearing, allowing for free rotation. Multiple locating seats are evenly distributed on the rotating rod, each with a locating hole for securing the drying frame.
[0040] The drying frame, which holds the molding sand, has positioning rods at its bottom that align with the positioning holes in the positioning base. Simply inserting the rods into the holes allows the drying frame to be quickly secured and removed from the rotating rod. The drying frame also features mounting slots for easy placement on the rotating rod.
[0041] To achieve synchronous rotation of the blower wheel and the rotating rod, a linkage assembly is installed in the device. A drive pulley is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, while a worm gear is fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod. A rotating seat is mounted on the bracket, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed in the rotating seat. A worm and a driven pulley that match the worm gear are fixed to the rotating rod. The driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected by a high-strength belt. When the drive motor drives the blower wheel to rotate, the rotating shaft rotates synchronously and drives the drive pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the driven pulley and the rotating rod through the belt. The worm on the rotating rod interacts with the worm gear at the bottom of the rotating rod to achieve rotation of the rotating rod. The slow rotation of the rotating rod drives the rotation of the drying frame and the molding sand inside it, allowing the hot air flow to penetrate the sand layer more evenly, improving drying efficiency.
[0042] To ensure safe operation and convenient maintenance of the device, a protective shell is installed on the bracket to cover the belt drive part; the bottom is equipped with lockable universal wheels to facilitate the movement and positioning of the device; an upward exhaust pipe is set on one side of the drying box and is equipped with a filter to prevent dust from overflowing; the side wall of the heating box is installed with an insulation board to reduce heat loss and improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0043] Working principle: During the use of this utility model,
[0044] The operator first places the molding sand in the drying frame, and then inserts the drying frame into the positioning seat on the rotating rod in the drying box through the positioning rod at the bottom of the drying frame to ensure that the drying frame is firmly fixed on the rotating rod.
[0045] The operator starts the drive motor and heater. Once the drive motor starts, the shaft on its axis rotates, which in turn drives the fan wheel fixed to the shaft. Simultaneously, the heater begins to generate heat.
[0046] The driving pulley on the shaft rotates as the shaft rotates and is connected to the driven pulley via a belt, which rotates accordingly.
[0047] The driven pulley is attached to the rotating rod, and the worm gear on the rotating rod mates with the worm wheel at the bottom of the rotating rod in the drying box. When the driven pulley rotates, the belt drives the rotating rod, which in turn rotates the worm gear. The interaction between the worm gear and the worm wheel causes the rotating rod to rotate as well.
[0048] Since the drying frame is fixed on the rotating rod, the rotation of the rotating rod will drive the drying frame to rotate together. In this way, the molding sand in the drying frame can be dried more evenly.
[0049] The airflow generated by the rotating fan wheel is heated by the heating pipe. This hot air then flows into the drying box through the holes in the connecting plate and the air duct. As the drying frame rotates driven by the rotating rod, the hot air can be blown evenly onto the molding sand in the drying frame, achieving rapid drying.
[0050] When the sand is dried, the operator turns off the drive motor and heating tube, opens the sealed door of the drying box, removes the drying frame and the sand for subsequent processing. At the same time, the interior of the drying box can be cleaned and maintained to ensure efficiency and effectiveness for the next use.
[0051] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
