[0002] Investment casting, also known as "lost wax casting," is a precision casting method that produces castings through a series of steps: wax pattern creation, slurry coating, wax melting, firing, and pouring molten metal. However, during the investment casting process, solid debris can easily accumulate within the mold shell during handling or after high-temperature firing. This debris can be flushed into the mold cavity during the pouring of the hot molten metal, causing defects such as slag inclusions in the casting, seriously affecting the metallurgical quality of the casting and even rendering it scrapped.

[0003] At present, the common cleaning method includes blowing with compressed air. By extending the air pipe into the interior of the mold, a strong blowing force is generated by compressed air to blow away the debris on the inner wall of the mold. Finally, when the gas encounters the bottom of the mold, it will spread to the top of the mold, thereby taking out the debris. This operation is convenient and fast, but when the adsorption force of the debris on the inner wall of the mold is too high, the compressed air cannot blow the debris loose, and it may also be blown to the blind end of the mold, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the existing investment casting mold shell cavity impurity removal device, design a new investment casting mold shell cavity impurity removal device to solve the above technical defects, and improve the practicality of the overall investment casting mold shell cavity impurity removal device.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example:

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A device for removing impurities from the inner cavity of an investment casting mold shell comprises a main cylinder 1, wherein the interior of the main cylinder 1 is provided with a receiving groove 2, a threaded groove on the inner side wall of the receiving groove 2, a screw rod 3 being connected to the inner thread of the receiving groove 2, the outer portion of the main cylinder 1 being fixedly connected to a fixing ring 4, the outer portion of the main cylinder 1 being fixedly connected to a driving ring 5 located below the fixing ring 4, the inner portion of the driving ring 5 being rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 6, the bottom end of the connecting shaft 6 being fixedly connected to a gear 7, the outer portion of the gear 7 being meshedly connected to a gear ring 8, the bottom of the gear ring 8 being fixedly connected to a supporting shaft 9, the outer portion of the supporting shaft 9 being fixedly connected to a spiral blade 10, when impurities appear in the inner cavity of the mold, the main cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 4, the outer portion of the main cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a driving ring 5 located below the fixing ring 4, the inner portion of the driving ring 5 being rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 6, the bottom end of the connecting shaft 6 being fixedly connected to a gear 7, the outer portion of the gear 7 being meshedly connected to a gear ring 8, the bottom of the gear ring 8 being fixedly connected to a supporting shaft 9, the outer portion of the supporting shaft 9 being fixedly connected to a spiral blade 10, By inserting the main cylinder 1 into the mold and rotating the connecting shaft 6, the gear 7 follows the connecting shaft 6 to rotate, so that the gear 7 and the gear ring 8 are engaged with each other, and the gear ring 8 is rotated outside the main cylinder 1. At the same time, the design of the fixed ring 4 drives the stability of the drive ring 5 when it is installed outside the main cylinder 1. Then, when the gear ring 8 rotates, the support shaft 9 and the gear ring 8 make the same movement, and drive the spiral blade 10 to rotate, breaking the impurities attached to the inner cavity of the mold, so that the impurities are completely separated from the inner wall of the mold, improving the integrity of the mold during the next casting, and further improving the aesthetics.

[0024] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the inside of the gear ring 8, and a ball 11 is rotatably connected between the connecting sleeve and the gear ring 8. The top of the support shaft 9 is designed with an inclined structure. When the gear ring 8 rotates at high speed, the design of the ball 11 can realize that the gear ring 8 rotates, driving the ball 11 to roll between the connecting sleeve and the gear ring 8, so that when the gear ring 8 rotates, it will not cause friction with the outside of the main tube 1, so that its smoothness is greatly improved. Through the design of the inclined surface of the support shaft 9, its diameter is larger than that of the gear ring 8 when it rotates, and it is easier to contact the inner wall of the mold.

[0025] For further information, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the bottom end of the main cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a hexagonal plate 12, the bottom of the hexagonal plate 12 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat, the internal rotation of the mounting seat is connected to a linkage rod 13, and the end of the linkage rod 13 away from the mounting seat is fixedly connected to an arc plate 14. After the spiral blade 10 contacts the inner wall of the mold, the impurities are separated from it, and the impurities are blocked by the hexagonal plate 12 to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the mold.

[0026] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer thread of screw rod 3 is connected with the rotating sleeve 15, and the outer thread of rotating sleeve 15 is symmetrically fixedly connected with the rotating seat 16. The inner rotatable connection of rotating seat 16 is connected with connecting rod 17. The end of connecting rod 17 away from rotating seat 16 is fixedly connected with the plug shaft, and the plug shaft extends to the interior of linkage rod 13. Connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected with linkage rod 13 through plug shaft. By rotating screw rod 3, thread reaction of rotating sleeve 15 is realized on the outer surface of screw rod 3, so that rotating sleeve 15 makes downward movement on the outer surface of screw rod 3, so that connecting rod 17 is expanded and gradually tends to parallel state, thereby generating driving force, pushing linkage rod 13, so that linkage rod 13 swings, driving arc plate 14 and hexagonal plate 12 to be in parallel state, so that when main cylinder 1 is pulled out of mold, arc plate 14 will scrape against the inner wall of mold, bringing some stubborn impurities out of mold.

[0027] For further information, see Figure 1In this embodiment, the inside of the screw rod 3 is fixedly connected to an air pipe 18, which extends to the outside of the screw rod 3, and the bottom end of the air pipe 18 is fixedly connected to an adsorption head 19, which has a trumpet-shaped structure. The top of the main cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a reinforcement ring 20, which is evenly spaced. The end of the air pipe 18 away from the adsorption head 19 is fixedly connected to a dust collecting box 21, and multiple groups of filter screens 22 are provided inside the dust collecting box 21. The density inside the multiple groups of filter screens 22 decreases successively. Suction is generated through the air pipe 18, and the adsorption head 19 contacts the bottom end of the inner side of the mold to absorb impurities, and finally conducts them to the inside of the dust collecting box 21. Through the design of the filter screen 22, the collected impurities are processed separately according to their volume.

[0028] In this embodiment, the implementation scenario is specifically as follows: when impurities appear in the mold cavity, the main cylinder 1 is inserted into the mold, and the connecting shaft 6 is rotated, so that the gear 7 follows the connecting shaft 6 to rotate, thereby realizing that the gear 7 and the gear ring 8 are meshed with each other, and the gear ring 8 is rotated outside the main cylinder 1. At the same time, the design of the fixed ring 4 drives the stability of the drive ring 5 when it is installed outside the main cylinder 1. Then, when the gear ring 8 rotates, the support shaft 9 and the gear ring 8 make the same movement, and drive the spiral blade 10 to rotate, so as to crush the impurities attached to the inner cavity of the mold, so that the impurities are completely separated from the inner wall of the mold, and by rotating the screw rod 3, the rotating sleeve 15 is threaded on the outside of the screw rod 3, so that the rotation The sleeve 15 makes a downward movement on the outside of the screw rod 3, so that the connecting rod 17 is expanded and gradually tends to a parallel state, thereby generating a driving force to push the linkage rod 13, so that the linkage rod 13 swings, driving the arc plate 14 and the hexagonal plate 12 to be in a parallel state, and the impurities are blocked by the hexagonal plate 12 to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the mold. At the same time, when the main cylinder 1 is pulled out of the mold, the arc plate 14 will scrape against the inner wall of the mold, bringing some stubborn impurities out of the mold, generating suction through the air pipe 18, and contacting the bottom end of the inner side of the mold through the adsorption head 19 to absorb the impurities, and finally conducting them to the inside of the dust box 21. Through the design of the filter screen 22, the collected impurities are processed separately according to their volume.
