[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown:
[0029] Example 1: This utility model provides an automated casting device and casting production line for casting, comprising:
[0030] Conveyor 1, with several casting molds 2 mounted on the top of conveyor 1, and several bosses 3 mounted on the top of casting molds 2;
[0031] The casting machine 5 is located on one side of the conveyor 1. A high-temperature resistant laser rangefinder 4 is installed on the other side of the casting machine 5. A sector gear frame 6 is rotatably installed at the front end of the casting machine 5. A casting barrel 10 is installed at the front end of the sector gear frame 6. A drain pipe 11 is installed on the other side of the casting barrel 10.
[0032] A transmission gear shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the casting machine 5 on one side of the sector gear frame 6. A torque detector 12 is connected to the rear end of the transmission gear shaft 9. A motor 13 is connected to the rear end of the torque detector 12. A controller 14 is mounted on one side of the casting machine 5.
[0033] Drainage mechanism 8 is installed on the other side of the casting machine 5;
[0034] The flow guiding mechanism 8 includes a mounting bracket 801 connected to the other side of the casting machine 5. A bidirectional threaded bracket 802 is mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 801. A first guide plate 803 and a second guide plate 804 are movably mounted between the bidirectional threaded brackets 802. The heights of the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are staggered. A motor 805 is mounted on the other side of the mounting bracket 801, and the output end of the motor 805 is connected to the mounting bracket 801.
[0035] As can be seen from the above, during the operation of the conveyor 1, the casting mold 2 can be moved. During the movement of the casting mold 2, the high-temperature laser rangefinder 4 is used to detect the distance between the casting mold 2 and the conveyor 1 below, and to set the controller 14. After the boss 3 on the casting mold 2 moves to the bottom of the high-temperature laser rangefinder 4, the value detected by the high-temperature laser rangefinder 4 is less than the preset value. After receiving the signal, the controller 14 stops the conveyor 1. The controller 14 controls the diversion mechanism 8. During the operation of the motor 805, the bidirectional threaded frame 802 is rotated, so that the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 on the bidirectional threaded frame 802 move closer to each other until they are in contact. During the operation of the motor 13, the sector gear frame 6 is rotated upward through the transmission gear shaft 9. During the rotation of the sector gear frame 6, the casting barrel 10 is rotated and tilted at the same time. The liquid stored inside the casting barrel 10 begins to be discharged downward through the diversion pipe 11.
[0036] When the liquid inside the casting barrel 10 is full, the pressure of the liquid discharged from the drain pipe 11 is relatively high. During the discharge process, the first guide plate 803 can intercept and guide the liquid with high pressure from the front of the drain pipe 11. During the guidance process, the liquid is diverted a second time by the second guide plate 804 through the spatial difference between the guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804, which reduces the liquid flow pressure and makes the liquid discharge port closer to the casting mold 2, thereby improving the pouring effect.
[0037] When the pouring is almost complete, the sector gear frame 6 begins to rotate downwards and reset under the drive of the transmission gear shaft 9. The pressure of the liquid discharged from the drain pipe 11 decreases. At this time, the second guide plate 804 can better drain the liquid with insufficient pressure, preventing the liquid with low pressure from splashing to other positions on the surface of the casting mold 2 before the pouring stops, thus improving the pouring effect during automatic pouring. The torque detector 12 can detect the torque of the motor 13 during use, thereby realizing the detection of the weight of the liquid inside the casting barrel 10, so that the user can add liquid to the inside of the casting barrel 10. After the pouring is completed, the controller 14 restarts the conveyor 1, and the conveyor 1 moves the casting mold 2 out from the bottom of the drain mechanism 8, thereby realizing autonomous pouring production.
[0038] By installing a diversion mechanism 8, the liquid discharged from the diversion pipe 11 can be diverted during automated pouring, preventing the liquid from deviating from its landing point and leaking due to excessive liquid pressure at the beginning of discharge and reduced liquid pressure before the end of pouring, thus improving the pouring effect.
[0039] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown:
[0040] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned drainage mechanism 8, the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are fitted with sliding sleeves that are compatible with the bidirectional threaded bracket 802 at both ends;
[0041] The vertical surfaces of the bidirectional threaded bracket 802 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the drainage tube 11.
[0042] As can be seen from the above, the sliding sleeves at both ends of the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 can drive the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 to move closer to each other and further away from each other during the rotation of the mounting bracket 801.
[0043] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown:
[0044] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned high-temperature resistant laser rangefinder 4 and boss 3, the positions of the high-temperature resistant laser rangefinder 4 and boss 3 correspond one-to-one.
[0045] As can be seen from the above, multi-point positioning is achieved through the cooperation of the high-temperature resistant laser rangefinder sensor 4 and the boss 3, ensuring that the pouring position of the drain pipe 11 is located above the casting mold 2, and preventing the pouring from splashing due to the mismatch between the position of the drain pipe 11 and the casting mold 2.
[0046] As attached Figure 3 As shown:
[0047] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned torque detector 12, the torque detector 12 and the motor 13 are located inside the casting machine 5, and the transmission gear shaft 9 is connected to the casting machine 5 via a bearing.
[0048] As can be seen from the above, by installing the torque detector 12 and the motor 13 inside the casting machine 5, the casting machine 5 can provide support for the torque detector 12 and the motor 13 while shielding and protecting them during use, thus extending their service life.
[0049] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 As shown:
[0050] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that a triggering mechanism 7 is installed at the front end of the casting machine 5, and the triggering mechanism 7 is located at the lower edge of the rear end of the sector gear frame 6.
[0051] The triggering mechanism 7 includes a housing 701 installed at the front end of the casting machine 5. A trigger switch 702 is installed at the rear end inside the housing 701. A trigger rod 704 is movably installed inside the housing 701. A ball 705 is installed at the front end of the trigger rod 704. A spring 703 is sleeved around the trigger rod 704.
[0052] The trigger switch 702 is electrically connected to the diversion mechanism 8 and the controller 14 via wires. Before the sector gear frame 6 rotates, the trigger rod 704 squeezes the spring 703, and the spring 703 is in a compressed state. The rear end of the trigger rod 704 presses the trigger switch 702, and the trigger switch 702 is in an open state.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, when the sector gear carrier 6 rotates and moves under the drive of the transmission gear shaft 9, after moving out from the front end of the ball 705, the spring 703, which is in a compressed state, begins to rebound, pushing the trigger rod 704 and the ball 705 forward, releasing the pressure on the trigger switch 702. The trigger switch 702 automatically rebounds and enters a closed state. After the trigger switch 702 closes, it transmits the signal to the inside of the controller 14 for analysis and processing. The controller 14 controls the diversion mechanism 8 to start running, so that the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are combined to achieve the guiding function.
[0054] When the sector gear frame 6 finishes pouring and resets under the drive of the transmission gear shaft 9, the ball 705, under the pressure of the sector gear frame 6, pushes the trigger rod 704 back into the housing 701, and presses the spring 703 again. At the same time, the rear end presses the trigger switch 702, so that the trigger switch 702 is in the off state. The controller 14 does not receive the signal from the trigger switch 702 and controls the drainage mechanism 8 to automatically reset.
[0055] This implementation, by adding a triggering mechanism 7, can control the diversion mechanism 8 according to the position change of the sector gear frame 6 during use, reducing manual operation, making the pouring of the device more automated, and improving production efficiency.
[0056] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
