[0026] Example

[0027] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a natural gas valve body casting mold, comprising a lower mold 1; an upper mold 2, the upper mold 2 is arranged on the top of the lower mold 1, and a first casting molding groove 102 and a second casting molding groove 202 for casting the natural gas valve body casting are respectively provided on the side of the bottom of the lower mold 1 opposite to the upper mold 2; an ejector assembly, the ejector assembly is arranged on the top of the lower mold 1;

[0028] In order to shorten the casting cycle, a gate 104 is provided at the bottom of the upper mold 2; a trough 101 is provided on the top of the lower mold 1, a first casting molding groove 102 is provided at the bottom of the trough 101, a sand core 103 is placed inside the first casting molding groove 102, the gate 104 is connected to the first casting molding groove 102, a protrusion 201 is provided at the bottom of the upper mold 2, and the second casting molding groove 202 is provided at the bottom of the protrusion 201; the sand core 103 is placed in the first casting molding groove 102 , and then moves through the bottom of the lower mold 1 to the top of the upper mold 2. At this time, the protrusion 201 contacts the inside of the first casting molding groove 102, and the sand core 103 moves to the inside of the second casting molding groove 202. The metal liquid is introduced from bottom to top into the first casting molding groove 102 and the second casting molding groove 202 through the two gates 104, so that the metal liquid fills the inside of the first casting molding groove 102 and the second casting molding groove 202 and is wrapped around the outside of the sand core 103, thereby completing the casting of the casting.

[0029] In order to ensure that the casting is slightly deformed during ejection, the ejection assembly includes an upper mold ejection plate 203, four support columns 204, and a plurality of ejector columns 205. The upper mold ejection plate 203 is arranged above the upper mold 2. The four support columns 204 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the upper mold ejection plate 203. A plurality of ejector columns 205 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold ejection plate 203. The four corners of the top of the upper mold 2 are provided with first guide holes 3. The four support columns 204 are movably inserted into the interior of the first guide holes 3. The top of the upper mold 2 is provided with a plurality of second guide holes 4. A plurality of ejector columns 205 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold ejection plate 203. It is movably inserted into the interior of several second guide holes 4, and several second guide holes 4 are connected to the second casting molding groove 202; when the metal liquid cools, it moves upward through the upper mold 2, and the upper mold 2 moves respectively on the outside of the support column 204 and the top column 205. At this time, the top column 205 pushes the formed natural gas valve body casting out of the interior of the second casting molding groove 202, and then drives the upper mold ejector plate 203 to move upward through the upper mold 2. At this time, the support column 204 is separated from the top of the lower mold 1, and the top column 205 is separated from the outside of the casting, and then the casting can be taken out of the lower mold 1.

[0030] In order to ensure the casting quality of the natural gas valve body casting, positioning columns 5 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the upper mold 2, and a positioning groove 6 is provided at the top of the lower mold 1. The positioning columns 5 and the positioning groove 6 match each other; during the closing process of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, the four positioning columns 5 are simultaneously inserted into the interior of the positioning groove 6 to prevent the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 from being misaligned when closing.

[0031] Working principle or structural principle, when it is necessary to cast the natural gas valve body casting, the sand core 103 is placed inside the first casting molding groove 102, and then moved to the top of the upper mold 2 through the bottom of the lower mold 1. At this time, the protrusion 201 is in contact with the inside of the first casting molding groove 102, and the sand core 103 is moved to the inside of the second casting molding groove 202. During this process, the four positioning columns 5 are simultaneously inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 6 to prevent the position from being misaligned when the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are closed, thereby improving the quality of the natural gas valve body casting. At this time, the metal liquid can be introduced from bottom to top into the inside of the first casting molding groove 102 and the second casting molding groove 202 through the two gates 104, so that the metal liquid fills the inside of the first casting molding groove 102 and the second casting molding groove 202 and wraps around the outside of the sand core 103, so that the casting has the effect of fast molding and short casting cycle.

[0032] After the metal liquid cools, the upper mold 2 moves upward, and the upper mold 2 moves on the outside of the support column 204 and the ejector column 205 respectively. At this time, the ejector column 205 pushes the formed natural gas valve body casting out of the interior of the second casting molding groove 202. The upper mold 2 is used for ejection, which is convenient and fast, ensuring that the casting is slightly deformed during ejection. The upper mold 2 then drives the upper mold ejection plate 203 to move upward. At this time, the support column 204 is separated from the top of the lower mold 1, and the ejector column 205 is separated from the outside of the casting. Then, the casting can be taken out of the lower mold 1.
