[0003] Aluminum die castings are lightweight, which helps reduce the weight of automobiles, and many automobile engine blocks now use aluminum die castings. As a core component of automobiles, the engine block has numerous slag pockets designed around its perimeter to ensure product quality. These slag pockets need to be removed after die casting.

[0004] Currently, the slag bags are mainly removed manually, resulting in relatively low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a slag bag folding mechanism and a slag bag removal device, which facilitates slag bag removal and helps improve production efficiency. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a slag bag folding mechanism, which includes a base, a working head, and a telescopic cylinder. The working head is hinged to the base, and one end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the base and the other end is hinged to the working head, so as to drive the working head to swing relative to the base. The working head is used to swing to strike the slag bag.

[0007] In some examples, the working head includes a rotating rod and a first striking rod, one end of the rotating rod being hinged to the base, the other end of the rotating rod being connected to the first striking rod, and the middle portion of the rotating rod being hinged to the telescopic cylinder.

[0008] In some examples, the end of the rotating rod away from the base has a slot, and the first striking rod is located in the slot.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a slag-folding mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the slag bag removal device includes a base 10, a working head 20 and a telescopic cylinder 30. The working head 20 is hinged to the base 10, and one end of the telescopic cylinder 30 is hinged to the base 10 and the other end is hinged to the working head 20, so as to drive the working head 20 to swing relative to the base 10. The working head 20 is used to swing to knock the slag bag.

[0034] By hinged a working head 20 and a telescopic cylinder 30 to the base 10, the base 10, working head 20, and telescopic cylinder 30 form a linkage mechanism. The telescopic cylinder 30 can extend and retract to change its length, thereby causing the working head 20 to swing relative to the base 10. The slag blisters on the workpiece are removed by striking them with the swinging working head 20. The removal of slag blisters can be completed simply by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 30, eliminating the need for manual removal and improving production efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the working head 20 includes a rotating rod 21 and a first impact rod 22. One end of the rotating rod 21 is hinged to the base 10, and the other end of the rotating rod 21 is connected to the first impact rod 22. The middle part of the rotating rod 21 is hinged to the telescopic cylinder 30.

[0036] The rotating rod 21 serves to connect and transmit power, while the first striking rod 22 is used to impact the slag bag. The working head 20 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has low manufacturing cost. The middle part of the rotating rod 21 is hinged to the telescopic cylinder 30. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 30, the length of the telescopic cylinder 30 changes slightly, which allows the first striking rod 22 to generate a large displacement to strike the slag bag.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the middle part of the rotating rod 21 may have a branch 211, which is hinged to the telescopic cylinder 30.

[0038] As an example, branch 211 can be perpendicular to rotating rod 21.

[0039] By setting a branch 211 to connect the telescopic cylinder 30, the rotating rod 21 can swing within a wider range under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 30, making it easier for the first striking rod 22 to strike the slag bag.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance from the end of the rotating rod 21 that is hinged to the base 10 to the branch 211 can be less than the distance from the first impact rod 22 to the branch 211. This allows for a further increase in the stroke of the first impact rod 22 while keeping the telescopic distance of the telescopic cylinder 30 constant.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the rotating rod 21 away from the base 10 has a slot 21a, and the first striking rod 22 is located in the slot 21a.

[0042] The first striking rod 22 is connected via slot 21a, facilitating its replacement. For example, if multiple slag bales are spaced apart on the same side of a workpiece, a suitable length of first striking rod 22 can be selected so that multiple slag bales can be knocked away during the swing of rotating rod 21. Different workpieces may have different spacing between slag bales on the same side due to size, slag bale design, etc. Therefore, different first striking rods 22 can be used for different workpieces to remove multiple slag bales at once via the slag bale removal mechanism.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the slot 21a can be located on the side of the rotating rod 21 away from the branch 211. In this way, when the first striking rod 22 strikes the slag bag, the force exerted by the slag bag on the first striking rod 22 is directed into the slot 21a, and will not cause the first striking rod 22 to come out of the slot 21a.

[0044] In some examples, the slot 21a can be a dovetail groove, which makes the first striker 22 more securely installed and prevents the slot 21a from coming loose. When it is necessary to replace the first striker 22, the first striker 22 can be pulled out from one side of the slot 21a without affecting the disassembly and assembly of the first striker 22.

[0045] Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a slag-folding mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two different states of the slag-folding mechanism are shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in this slag-folding mechanism, one side of the base 10 is connected to a first support block 101 and a second support block 102, and the height of the second support block 102 is greater than the height of the first support block 101. The working head 20 is hinged to the first support block 101, and the telescopic cylinder 30 is hinged to the second support block 102.

[0046] By setting a first support block 101 and a second support block 102 on the base 10 to support the working head 20 and the telescopic cylinder 30 respectively, the distance between the working head 20 and the base 10 and the distance between the telescopic cylinder 30 and the base 10 can be increased, thus preventing the base 10 from affecting the movement range of the working head 20 and the telescopic cylinder 30. The height of the second support block 102 is greater than the height of the first support block 101, which allows the telescopic cylinder 30 to be in a state approximately parallel to the surface of the base 10, thereby increasing the swing range of the working head 20.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the slag-folding mechanism also includes a clamping structure 40, which is connected to the base 10. The clamping structure 40 is used to clamp the slag-folding mechanism to the frame 100.

[0048] Die-cast parts typically have multiple slag pockets on their surface, which may be distributed in different locations. When removing slag pockets, multiple slag pocket removal mechanisms can be arranged around the workpiece to facilitate the removal of slag pockets in different locations. By setting up a clamping structure 40, the slag pocket removal mechanism can be easily clamped to the frame 100 for fixation, ensuring the stability of the slag pocket removal mechanism.

[0049] As an example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping structure 40 includes a first clamping plate 41, a second clamping plate 42, and a plurality of first connecting screws 43. The first clamping plate 41 is located on one side of the base 10, and the second clamping plate 42 is located on the other side of the base 10. The plurality of first connecting screws 43 connect the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42.

[0050] When clamping the slag-folding mechanism onto the frame 100 for fixation, the frame 100 can be passed between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42. Then, multiple first connecting screws 43 are tightened to clamp the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42 onto the frame 100. Clamping the slag-folding mechanism using the first clamping plate 41, the second clamping plate 42, and multiple first connecting screws 43 not only results in a simple structure and convenient operation but also facilitates adjustment of the slag-folding mechanism's position on the frame 100.

[0051] As an example, both the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42 can be metal plates, such as steel plates or aluminum alloy plates.

[0052] In some examples, the telescopic cylinder 30 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0053] Cylinders not only have fast response speed, low power consumption, and no pollution, but also do not require a bulky and complex hydraulic pump station.

[0054] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a slag bag removal device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the slag bag removal device includes a frame 100 and at least one slag bag folding mechanism 200. The slag bag folding mechanism 200 can be... Figures 1-3 Any of the slag-folding mechanisms shown. The frame 100 has a workpiece mounting area 100a, and the slag-folding mechanism 200 is located outside the workpiece mounting area 100a and connected to the frame 100. For ease of explanation, Figure 4 The diagram also schematically shows workpiece 1000.

[0055] Figure 5 This is a top view schematic diagram of a slag bag removal device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, as an example, the slag bag removal device may include a plurality of slag bag breaking mechanisms 200, which may be arranged around the workpiece mounting area 100a to facilitate the removal of slag bags from different positions of the workpiece 1000.

[0056] When removing slag bales, workpiece 1000 can be placed in workpiece mounting area 100a of frame 100. A slag bale removal mechanism 200 is arranged outside the workpiece mounting area 100a. In the slag bale removal mechanism 200, a working head 20 and a telescopic cylinder 30 are hinged to a base 10, forming a linkage mechanism. The telescopic cylinder 30 can extend and retract to change its length, thereby causing the working head 20 to swing relative to the base 10. The slag bales on workpiece 1000 are removed by striking them with the swinging working head 20. The removal of slag bales can be completed simply by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 30, eliminating the need for manual removal and improving production efficiency.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple baffles 1001 are connected to the frame 100. The multiple baffles 1001 are arranged around the workpiece mounting area 100a. The working head 20 of the slag pack folding mechanism 200 is located inside the area surrounded by the multiple baffles 1001. The baffles 1001 can block the knocked-down slag packs and prevent the slag packs from splashing outside the frame 100, so that the slag packs can fall into the workpiece mounting area 100a in a concentrated manner.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the frame 100 may also be equipped with an air tank 1002 and a pneumatic system 1003. The pneumatic system 1003 includes multiple valves and is connected to the cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 30. The air tank 1002 is used to provide high-pressure gas, and the pneumatic system 1003 is used to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 30.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the slag removal device also includes a connecting seat 1004 and a second impact rod 1005. The connecting seat 1004 is located on one side of the workpiece mounting area 100a. The connecting seat 1004 is connected to the frame 100, and one end of the second impact rod 1005 is connected to the connecting seat 1004.

[0060] Because some workpieces 1000 have complex structures and shapes, slag pockets in certain locations may be difficult to remove using the slag pocket removal mechanism 200. For these difficult-to-remove slag pockets, workpiece 1000 can be clamped with a tool, and the slag pockets can be removed by impacting them against the second impact rod 1005.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting seat 1004 can be detachably connected to the frame 100 via a third clamping plate 1006 and multiple second connecting screws 1007. The second connecting screws 1007 are connected to the connecting seat 1004, and the third clamping plate 1006 is spaced apart from the connecting seat 1004, allowing the frame 100 to pass between the connecting seat 1004 and the third clamping plate 1006. By tightening the second connecting screws 1007, the third clamping plate 1006 and the connecting seat 1004 are clamped onto the frame 100. When processing workpieces 1000 whose slag bags can be removed by the slag bag folding mechanism 200, the third clamping plate 1006 can be disassembled, and the connecting seat 1004 can be removed from the frame 100 to facilitate processing of the workpiece 1000.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
