Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of pouring cups, in particular to a trough-shaped pouring cup capable of automatically blocking slag. Background Art

[0002] Casting technology is one of the most important methods for forming mechanical parts. Metal casting involves pouring molten metal into a shaped cavity to create a casting with the desired shape and function. Some castings can be used directly, while others require further machining, heat treatment, and other processes to obtain the desired component.

[0003] In the casting production process, the pouring of molten metal needs to pass through the pouring cup, sprue, and ingrown to enter the mold cavity (see Figure 4 The pouring cup is one of the important units that are indispensable to the pouring system. Generally, the pouring cup is used to collect the molten metal and accurately enter the mold cavity, and prevent the molten metal from splashing before entering the sprue. There are many kinds of pouring cups in daily production, including homemade trumpet-shaped ones and trumpet-shaped ones made of refractory materials by professional factories ( Figure 5 ) and common troughs made by foundries using various types of sand ( Figure 6 ) and so on. These types of pouring cups are widely used in ferrous metal casting.

[0004] Since cast iron has good fluidity after melting, it is not suitable for bottom ladle pouring, and can only be poured by flipping ladle (see diagram). Figure 7 ) , the molten iron slag floating above the molten metal will flow out with the molten metal and enter the mold cavity through the pouring cup, causing defects such as slag inclusion in the casting. To reduce this defect, a groove-type pouring cup is commonly used, but in actual production, it can only reduce the defect by about 60%, which is not a significant effect.

[0005] Chinese utility model patent application number 202222679207.9 discloses a pouring cup with a built-in filter assembly. The pouring cup is a detachable structure, comprising a first cup body and a second cup body. When the first cup body and the second cup body are combined, a through-hole runner with upper and lower openings is formed between them. The filter assembly is installed inside the through-hole runner; the cross-section of the through-hole runner has a polygonal structure. By setting the through-hole runner as a polygonal structure, the pouring cup of this application prevents the molten metal from rotating and flipping in the runner during pouring, thus preventing oxidation of the molten metal and the generation of air entrainment. The purpose is to reduce the inclusion rate of the casting through the filter assembly and improve the molding quality of the casting.

[0006] Chinese utility model patent application number 202223320709.9 discloses a plug removal device and pouring cup, comprising a plug for sealing a pouring hole, a drive mechanism for driving the plug, and a connecting rod connecting the plug and the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism comprises a fixed seat, a guide rod movably connected to the fixed seat, and a lever member for driving the guide rod to move up and down. The fixed seat is provided with a locking portion, and the guide rod is provided with a fastening portion that forms a locking engagement with the locking portion to secure the guide rod. This solution has a simple structure, is easy to adjust, and has high stability, while also meeting the requirements of large-capacity pouring.

However, due to various constraints, the results are not satisfactory and further research and development is necessary. Utility Model Content

[0029] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific implementation methods of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific embodiments required for use in the specific implementation methods or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the specific embodiments described below are some implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other specific embodiments can be obtained based on these specific embodiments without paying creative work.

[0030] The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the specific embodiments herein can be arranged and designed in countless different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the specific embodiments is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] See Figure 1-3 , is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a trough-shaped pouring cup that can automatically block slag in the utility model, comprising a steel trough body 1, a refractory lining 2 and a lifting lug 3. A lifting lug 3 is provided at each end of the outer side of the steel trough body 1. To ensure overall strength and facilitate transportation, the thickness of the steel plate is 1.5-2mm. The lifting lug 3 is convenient for lifting. A refractory lining 2 is provided in the steel trough body 1, a water outlet 4 is provided at the bottom of the steel trough body 1, and a slag partition plate 5 is provided in the steel trough body 1. The slag partition plate 5 is made of refractory aggregate with an Al2O3 content of more than 60% and a binder, so as to improve the reuse rate. The slag partition plate 5 is inserted into the slot of the refractory lining 2. According to the amount of molten iron to be poured, the bottom edge of the slag partition plate 5 is 30-60 mm away from the bottom of the refractory lining 2, and generally 40-50 mm is selected; one side of the slag partition plate 5 is the steel inlet area A, and the other side is the steel outlet area B, and the water outlet 4 is located at the bottom of the steel outlet area B; the water outlet 4 is located on the refractory step 6, and the upper edge of the refractory step 6 is flush with the lower edge of the slag partition plate 5, and a spacing m of 60-80 mm is provided between the refractory step 6 and the slag partition plate 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer dimensions of the steel tank 1 are 800 mm (length) x 400 mm (width) x 350 mm (height), with a length (L) to width (B) ratio of 2:1. The thickness P of the refractory lining 2 is 60-150 mm, with an optimal thickness of 80-120 mm. The thickness a of the slag screen 5 is greater than 50 mm. To improve post-use cleaning and remanufacturing efficiency, the refractory lining 2 is preferably a resin sand lining with good disintegration properties. The length ratio of the steel inlet area A to the steel outlet area B is 1:1-2, preferably 1:2.

[0033] To prevent the slag screen 5 from floating during casting, a casting paste or core adhesive is typically used. The gap between the slag screen 5 and the slots in the refractory lining 2 is preferably filled with casting paste. The areas of the refractory lining 2 and slag screen 5 that come into contact with the liquid metal are coated with a zircon powder alcohol-based coating, preferably 2-3 mm thick, to protect the steel tank 1 and prevent defects such as sand inclusions caused by erosion by the molten metal.

[0034] The utility model discloses a trough-shaped pouring cup capable of automatically blocking slag. During the pouring process, molten steel is quickly poured into a steel inlet area A. The metal liquid level in the steel inlet area A of the pouring cup quickly reaches above an observation line X. The distance between the observation line X and the bottom H1 of the refractory lining 2 is greater than 3h. Then, the pouring speed is reduced to gradually increase the metal liquid in the steel inlet area A. When the distance from the observation line X to the upper edge of the refractory lining 2 is 50-100mm, the pouring speed is maintained. When the riser of the mold is observed to be about to be filled with the metal liquid, the pouring is stopped immediately.

[0035] To obtain the best slag blocking effect, control the rapid pouring, and make the liquid level in the pouring cup reach above 2 / 3H height (without overflowing as the principle) after 5-10 seconds. After the pouring is stable, keep the floating slag 15 below the liquid level H1.

[0036] 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.
