[0024] Specific examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a gate valve bottom pouring system described in an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom plate 1; a connecting component is provided on the top of the bottom plate 1; a storage plate 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting component; a casting box 12 is placed on the top of the storage plate 11; a valve body cavity 18 is provided in the casting box 12; two pairs of ingrowns 15 are connected at the bottom of the valve body cavity 18; the ends of the two pairs of ingrowns 15 are commonly connected to a cross runner 14; the ends of the cross runner 14 are connected to a straight runner 13; the ends of a pair of ingrowns 15 are both connected to a blind riser 16; the top of the valve body cavity 18 is connected to a plurality of open risers 17; a support frame 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bottom plate 1; an adjusting component is provided in the middle of the support frame 19; during operation, sand raw materials are added into the casting box 12 when making the sand mold, and then the overall shape of the straight runner 13, the cross runner 14, the ingrown runner 15, the blind riser 16, the open riser 17, and the valve body cavity 18 are formed through processing. , and then inject the molten steel through the sprue 13. At this time, the molten steel will flow into the runner 14 along the sprue 13, and then flow into the blind riser 16 from the inner runner 15 into the valve body cavity 18. The molten steel can enter from one side of the valve body cavity 18. At this time, the molten steel can be kept away from the valve body cavity 18 first, and then the valve body cavity 18 is filled from the bottom. When the molten steel is exposed from the open riser 17, the injection of the molten steel is stopped, and the demoulding is carried out after the molten steel solidifies. Through the above structure, The sprue 13 connects the runner 14 with the ingrown runner 15 and the valve body cavity 18, and cooperates with the blind riser 16 and the exposed riser 17 to allow the molten steel to enter the runner 14 from the sprue 13, and then enter the blind riser 16 and the valve body cavity 18 through the ingrown runner 15.

This cycle can complete the overall sand filling and molding. Through the above structure, the storage box 21 and the feed port 22 are arranged to cooperate with the baffle 23 and the first cylinder 24, which can facilitate the filling of sand in the casting box 12 and reduce the situation of shoveling sand from the container into the casting box 12, which leads to cumbersome operations.

A slider 2 and a storage box 21 are moved to the top of the casting box 12 and then sand is filled. When the sand raw material needs to be compacted, the motor 41 is started to rotate clockwise to drive the first slider 2 away from the top of the casting box 12, and the second slider 3 and the second cylinder 31 and the pressure plate 32 are moved to the top of the casting box 12, and then the compaction work is carried out.

Then, molten steel is injected through the sprue 13. At this time, the molten steel will flow along the sprue 13 into the cross runner 14, and then flow from the ingode 15 into the blind riser 16 into the valve body cavity 18. The molten steel can enter from one side of the valve body cavity 18. At this time, the molten steel can be kept away from the valve body cavity 18 first, and then the valve body cavity 18 is filled from the bottom. When the molten steel emerges from the open riser 17, the injection of molten steel is stopped. , wait until the molten steel solidifies before demoulding. When adding sand raw materials to the casting box 12, first add the sand raw materials into the storage box 21 from the feed port 22, then start the first cylinder 24 to stretch and open the baffle 23, then add part of the sand raw materials into the casting box 12, and then start the first cylinder 24 to shrink and close the baffle 23, and then compact the part of the sand raw materials entering the casting box 12, open the baffle 23 again to add the sand raw materials, and then compact again, and the whole sand filling molding can be completed in this cycle. After the sand raw materials are filled into the casting box 12, the second cylinder 31 can be started to continuously stretch and shrink, which can drive the pressing plate 32 The first slider 2 and the second slider 3 are driven to slide in the slide rail 4. When sand filling is required, the motor 41 is rotated counterclockwise to drive the first slider 2 and the storage box 21 to move to the top of the casting box 12 and then fill the sand. When the sand raw materials need to be compacted, the motor 41 is started and rotated clockwise to drive the first slider 2 away from the top of the casting box 12, and the second slider 3, the second cylinder 31 and the pressure plate 32 are moved to the top of the casting box 12, and then the compaction work is carried out. When part of the sand raw materials are required to be compacted, the motor 41 is started and rotated clockwise to drive the first slider 2 away from the top of the casting box 12, and the second slider 3, the second cylinder 31 and the pressure plate 32 are moved to the top of the casting box 12 and then compaction is carried out. After filling the casting box 12, start the third cylinder 5 to continuously stretch and contract, which can drive the placement plate 11 and the casting box 12 to continuously move up and down. When the placement plate 11 contacts the partition 51 below, the casting box 12 can shake, thereby shaking the sand raw materials inside evenly. When the casting box 12 is placed on the placement plate 11, align the fixing ring 6 with the positioning rod 61. After the casting box 12 is placed on the placement plate 11, the fixing ring 6 and the positioning rod 61 can fix the position of the casting box 12.
