[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is a device for accelerating the hardening speed of resin sand in low temperature seasons, including a device body arranged on a sand mixer, the device body including a heating box 1 and a cable 4. The heating box 1 is preferably in an inverted cone shape to facilitate the automatic descent of the molding sand. A temperature measuring thermocouple 2 and an electric heating tube 3 are fixedly arranged inside the heating box 1. If the sand mixer is large and the sand flow rate is large, a larger heating box 1 and electric heating tube 3 should be designed and selected, and a larger number of electric heating tubes 3 should be installed in the heating box 1. The shape and size of the electric heating tube 3 can be customized according to the shape and size of the heating box 1, or existing products from professional factories can be purchased for assembly, which can be flexibly determined.

[0027] One end of the cable 4 is connected to the electric heating tube 3. The power of the electric heating tube 3 is designed according to the size of the sand mixer and can be selected between 1 and 5 kW. The other end of the cable 4 passes through the heating box 1 and is connected to the automatic control box 5, which automatically adjusts the power supply voltage of the electric heating tube 3 or automatically cuts off and supplies power.

[0028] A temperature display 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the heating box 1, and the temperature display 6 is connected with the temperature measuring thermocouple 2 through a first connecting wire 7, so that the sand temperature in the heating box 1 can be monitored in real time; the temperature display 6 is connected with the automatic control box 5 through a second connecting wire 8, and the automatic control box 5 can automatically adjust the power supply and voltage of the electric heating tube 3 according to the sand temperature of the temperature display 6, so that the resin sand can be maintained at a preset temperature.

[0029] Before molding and core making, the power supply is turned on, the electric heating tube 3 starts to heat the resin sand, and when the sand temperature displayed by the temperature display 6 reaches the requirement, the sand mixer can be started; in the process of flowing of the resin sand, the electric heating tube 3 continuously heats the resin sand, and according to the actual sand temperature displayed by the temperature display 6, the control part automatically adjusts the power voltage of the electric heating tube 3 or automatically cuts off and supplies power, so that the temperature of the resin sand in the heating box 1 is maintained within a reasonable range. When the device is used on a molding and core making production line, the production can be carried out normally as if in an ideal environment temperature, and is not affected by the environment temperature.

[0030] The sand mixer comprises a sand bin 9, a sand mixer large arm 11, a sand mixer stand 12 and a sand mixer small arm 15, the lower outlet of the sand bin 9 is connected with the top of the heating box 1, and a gate plate 10 is arranged at the connection position of the sand bin 9 and the heating box 1; the gate plate 10 can adjust the flow of the resin sand flowing from the sand bin 9 into the heating box 1 according to the requirement. The sand mixer large arm 11 is arranged at the bottom of the heating box 1, and the discharge outlet of the heating box 1 is arranged above the feeding inlet of the sand mixer large arm 11.

[0031] The bottom of the sand mixer large arm 11 is fixedly connected with the sand mixer stand 12, a first motor 13 is fixedly arranged at one end of the sand mixer large arm 11, and the sand mixer small arm 15 is connected with the other end of the sand mixer large arm 11. The sand mixer large arm 11 and the sand mixer small arm 15 are both provided with a material passing channel, and the discharge outlet of the sand mixer large arm 11 is in communication with the feeding inlet of the sand mixer small arm 15. A second motor 14 is fixedly arranged at one end of the sand mixer small arm 15, and an outlet 16 is arranged at the other end of the sand mixer small arm 15.

[0032] The automatic control box 5 is internally provided with temperature control instruments, PLC controllers, transformers, contactors and other components, and the voltage or power supply provided for the electric heating tube 3 can be automatically adjusted through the cable wire 4.

[0033] The use method of the above device is as follows:

[0034] First, open the gate 10 to allow the resin sand in the sand storage 9 to be poured into the heating box 1, and then close the gate 10; then connect the electric heating tube 3 to the power supply, and the electric heating tube 3 begins to heat the resin sand; finally, when the temperature measured by the temperature display 6 reaches the preset value, open the gate 10, the first motor 13 and the second motor 14 at the same time to mix the sand, and the sand mixer arm 11 transports the heated resin sand to the sand mixer arm 15. After being stirred and mixed by the sand mixer arm 15, the evenly mixed and heated resin sand is output from the outlet 16 for subsequent molding and core making.

[0035] During the self-hardening sand transportation process, the electric heating tube 3 will continue to heat the resin sand. According to the sand temperature displayed by the temperature display 6, the automatic control box 5 will automatically adjust the voltage of the electric heating tube 3 and the power on and off, so that the resin sand in the heating box 1 is always maintained at the preset temperature.

[0036] Therefore, the utility model adopts a device of the above structure to accelerate the hardening speed of resin sand in low temperature seasons. By setting a temperature display to monitor the temperature in real time, and by adjusting the voltage and power supply of the heating tube through the automatic control box, the resin sand can be maintained at a preset temperature, so that the molding and core making production is not affected by the season and ambient temperature, and rapid hardening is achieved to ensure production efficiency.

[0037] By installing a heating box, an automatic control box, and connecting the relevant control equipment, efficient and automated temperature regulation can be achieved.
