Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool casting production technology, specifically to a sand mixing and screening device for machine tool casting production. Background Technology

[0002] Sand casting is a common casting method. Its basic working principle is to pour molten metal into a sand mold, wait for the sand mold to solidify, and then break it to obtain the desired casting. Sand casting is widely used in the production of machine tool castings. In order to ensure the casting quality of machine tool castings, the sand crushed by the sand mixer needs to be screened before use. Most sand mixer screening devices use replaceable screens. However, this method requires that the sand that does not pass the screening be discharged before the screen is replaced. Therefore, screen replacement is cumbersome. To address this, a sand mixer screening device for machine tool casting production is designed that allows for easy replacement of screening specifications even when there is unscreened sand. This allows smaller specifications to pass through the screen and then be screened for slightly larger specifications. It facilitates screening in order from smallest to largest specifications and makes the replacement process convenient and smooth. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example:

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A sand mixing and screening device for machine tool casting production includes a frame 1 and a screen belt 3 composed of multiple sequentially connected screen zones. The screen holes on the multiple sequentially connected screen zones are in a decreasing pattern. The left and right sides of the frame 1 are respectively provided with winding and unwinding mechanisms connected to the two sides of the screen belt 3. The middle part of the two winding and unwinding mechanisms is set as an arc-shaped screening zone. The front and rear sides of the arc-shaped screening zone are provided with arc-shaped baffles 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1. The opposite side of the two arc-shaped baffles 2 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 4 that slides and guides the screen belt 3. The device also includes two sets of guide shafts 7 arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped screening zone and guiding the screen belt 3. The length of each screen zone is longer than the length of the arc-shaped guide groove 4. A stirring mechanism that contacts the inner wall of the screen belt 3 is provided between the two arc-shaped baffles 2.

[0023] Specifically, the take-up and unwinding mechanism includes take-up and unwinding rollers rotatably connected to the frame 1. One end of the screen belt 3 is wound onto the take-up and unwinding rollers. The frame 1 is also fixedly connected to a take-up and unwinding motor 11 that drives the take-up and unwinding rollers to rotate. By starting the take-up and unwinding motor 11, the output shaft of the take-up and unwinding motor 11 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the take-up and unwinding rollers on the same side to take up or unwind, thus ensuring that the screen belt 3 between the two take-up and unwinding mechanisms is in a flat state. Furthermore, the two take-up and unwinding rollers include a take-up and unwinding roller 5 and a take-up and unwinding roller 6 rotatably connected to both sides of the frame 1.

[0024] Specifically, the stirring mechanism includes a material-feeding shaft 8 rotatably connected between two arc-shaped baffles 2. The material-feeding shaft 8 is circumferentially fixedly mounted with multiple material-feeding strips 9 that contact the inside of the screen belt 3. It also includes a set of material-feeding motors 10 fixedly mounted on any one of the arc-shaped baffles 2. The output shaft of the material-feeding motors 10 is fixedly connected to the material-feeding shaft 8. When the material-feeding motors 10 are started, the output shaft of the material-feeding motors 10 rotates, which facilitates the rotation of the material-feeding shaft 8 and the multiple material-feeding strips 9. The multiple material-feeding strips 9 rotate to stir and clear the sand in the arc-shaped screening area, so that the sand can be screened through as much as possible.

[0025] Specifically, a guide cover 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 at the top of the arc-shaped screening area. The guide cover 12 facilitates the feeding of sand into the arc-shaped screening area.

[0026] Specifically, a receiving box 13 is placed below the arc-shaped screening area. The bottom of the receiving box 13 is equipped with multiple casters. The receiving box 13 facilitates the receipt of the screened sand and allows the casters to be moved in and out of the arc-shaped screening area.

[0027] Specifically, both sides of the bottom of the arc-shaped screening area are fixedly installed with limiting plates 14 that slide and guide the receiving box 13. The limiting plates 14 facilitate the limiting of the receiving box 13, so that it is centered directly below the arc-shaped screening area.
