Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of low-pressure casting, in particular to a continuous production device applied to a low-pressure casting process. Background Art
[0002] As an advanced casting process, low-pressure casting offers advantages such as high material utilization and high-quality castings, making it particularly suitable for the production of complex, thin-walled castings. Due to a variety of subjective and objective factors, most small and medium-sized low-pressure casting companies still rely on manual labor. However, manual labor throughout the low-pressure casting process clearly has significant drawbacks. For example, compared to automated equipment, manual operation is slower when performing repetitive tasks, making it impossible to achieve rapid and continuous production, thus affecting overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the casting process involves high-temperature liquid metal and some potentially hazardous chemicals, which increases the risk of accidents and poses a threat to worker safety. However, automating the low-pressure casting process does present some difficulties. For example, the design of low-pressure casting equipment and molds must take into account the characteristics of different castings. Mold replacement and adjustment can be complex, making it difficult for automated systems to adapt to different mold designs and production requirements. Furthermore, the initial investment in a mature low-pressure casting automation system is high, including costs for equipment acquisition, system development, and maintenance.
[0003] In view of this, the utility model proposes a continuous production device applied to the low-pressure casting process, which simply transforms the low-pressure casting process without increasing costs, realizes the continuous production of low-pressure casting, reduces manual participation, greatly improves the production rhythm, and reduces the safety risks to operators.

The filled sand box 10 is placed on the conveying member 22 of the furnace plate 20 using a lifting device. When it slides to within the travel range of the moving member 41, the furnace plate 20 and the conveying member 22 stop moving. The jack 42 acts as the lifting member 13 to lift the sand box 10 away from the conveying member 22 and move it to the top of the rising pipe 30, and then fall and align it. The sand mold gate is perfectly matched with the rising pipe mouth. Pouring and pressure maintenance are carried out according to the preset appropriate process parameters until completion.
