DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following embodiments are used to further describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-7 A casting structure for an onshore wind turbine hub includes a lower mold base 10 having a stepped cavity. The cavity is divided into several small cavities by protruding ribs. The core of the cavity has a protruding pouring socket 17, and the core of the pouring socket 17 has a core hole.
[0023] In one embodiment, the cavity is a circular cavity, which includes an upper cavity 13 and a lower cavity 15. A cross-shaped convex rib 16 is provided between the inner wall of the lower cavity 15 and the outer wall of the pouring nest. The convex rib 16 is close to the inner wall of the lower cavity and the outer wall of the pouring nest as a fan-shaped convex rib 14, and the middle part is a long strip of convex rib 16. Moreover, the convex ribs 16 are all stepped structures. A rib extending along the fan-shaped convex rib 14 is provided in the upper cavity 13, dividing the cavity into four fan-shaped small cavities.
[0024] In order to improve the stability of the lower mold base 10, the lower mold base 10 has an annular outer flange 11, and the outer periphery of the outer flange 11 has an annular flat flange, so that the lower mold base 10 can be placed stably; in order to improve the strength of the lower mold base 10, the annular outer flange also has protruding semicircular lobes 12. In one embodiment, the outer flange has three semicircular lobes 12 arranged in an annular array to improve the strength of the lower mold base 10.
[0025] The surface of the cavity on the lower die base 10 is further provided with a coated sand coating. By providing the coated sand coating on the lower die base 10, the high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the lower die base 10 can be improved.
[0026] A sprue 30 is provided on the core hole in the middle of the pouring nest 17 . The sprue 30 is vertically erected upward. The sprue 30 may be made of a cold-drawn steel pipe. When in use, the sprue 30 passes through the center of the upper mold.
[0027] A filter sheet 50 is provided on the convex rib 16 and is suspended over the small cavity. The filter sheet 50 and the small cavity form a filter box with a hollow center. The filter box has a slit-type gate 40 .
[0028] In one embodiment, the small cavity is a fan-shaped small cavity, the filter plate 50 is a fan-shaped filter plate, and the slot-type gate 40 is a fan-shaped gate formed by the outer edge of the fan-shaped filter plate and the small cavity.
[0029] In order to fix the filter 50, a filter press 20 is provided above the filter 50, and the filter press 20 is mounted on the straight runner 30 and covers the filter 50. In one embodiment, the filter press 20 is a circular press, and the lower end of the filter press 20 has an annular boss pressed on the edge of the filter 50. A filter cavity is formed between the filter press 20 and the filter 50, and the straight runner 30 is connected to the filter cavity. The upper end of the filter press 20 is a circular step-shaped, and a group of annular pillars are also provided on the upper end surface of the filter press 20. The pillars are inclined on the upper end surface of the filter press 20, and the pillars are used to connect with the support structure to press the filter 50 into the small cavity.
[0030] During pouring, the molten iron enters between the filter plate pressing plate 20 and the filter plate 50 provided on the lower mold base 10 through the sprue 30, is filtered by the filter plate 50, and then enters the filter box formed by the filter plate 50 and the small cavity, and then enters the mold cavity through the slotted gate 40 to form the product 60;
[0031] Taking advantage of the shape structure of the middle cavity of the product 60, when designing the straight runner 30, it passes through the middle of the product 60, and a special customized fan-shaped filter 50 is used at the bottom. The lower mold base uses coated sand, so that the transition points of each runner are smooth curves. The molten iron flow rate of the entire runner system is stable, which makes it easy to improve the quality of the casting. In accordance with the product structure to the greatest extent, while ensuring sufficient resin sand, the design uses cold-drawn steel pipe straight runner 30, fan-shaped filter 50, and annular seam gate 40. Each gate is connected to a filter box. Compared with the runner designed from the outside of the product 60, the amount of sand used is reduced, the production space is saved, and the production cost is reduced.
