[0002] Currently, most aluminum alloy casting cylinder blocks produced using low-pressure or gravity casting processes in China are inline 4-cylinder or smaller cylinders. 6-cylinder aluminum cylinder blocks are structurally complex, and their crankshaft cavities and cylinder bores are also formed using sand molds. Due to structural limitations, the conventional crankshaft cavity and cylinder bore sand cores used in casting are mostly assembled and locked using ordinary methods. In existing technologies, multiple sand cores are bonded together on the same support base, or multiple sand cores are locked together with a single locking screw and then placed on the support base. Both bonding and screw locking processes result in wear of the sand cores during turnover, and excessive assembly clearance can cause deviations in the cylinder bore dimensions in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a V-shaped aluminum cylinder inner cavity main core positioning device includes several main cores 4 and a positioning device. The main core 4 includes a bearing 41 and sand cores 42 inclinedly arranged on both sides of the bearing 41. The positioning device includes a support frame 1, an air blowing plate 6, an upper sand shooting plate 5, a trapezoidal positioning base 2 and a clamping assembly. The support frame 1 is a frame structure, which greatly reduces the overall weight of the equipment and facilitates the observation of the connection of the internal structure during the positioning process.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6, the positioning base 2 is set inside the support frame 1. The cross-section of the positioning base 2 is trapezoidal. Several slots 21 are provided on the inclined surfaces on both sides of the positioning base 2. The slots 21 are similar in shape to the sand core 42. The spacing between each slot 21 is fixed. The main core 4 is connected to the upper end of the positioning base 2 and the sand core 42 is supported in the slots 21. The upper end of the bearing 41 is provided with a positioning groove 43. When several main cores 4 are connected to the positioning base 2, the main cores 4 will not be able to deflect, and several positioning grooves 43 are spliced ​​together.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6, the clamping assembly is arranged on both sides of the support frame 1. The clamping assembly includes a clamping frame 3, a clamping strip 32, and a driving component that drives the clamping strip 32 to abut against the sand core 42. The top of the clamping frame 3 is inclined towards both sides of the positioning base 2. The clamping strip 32 and the driving component are arranged at the upper end of the clamping frame 3. The driving component is a cylinder 31, or other telescopic components. The cylinder 31 drives the clamping strip 32 to move towards the inclined surface on both sides of the positioning base 2. One end of the clamping strip 32 is provided with several protrusions 33. The protrusions 33 and the slots 21 are aligned in position and direction. When the main core 4 is connected to the positioning base 2, the cylinder 31 drives the clamping strip 32 to move, so that the protrusions 33 and the main core 4 abut against each other, fixing the main core 4 on the positioning base 2, further maintaining the stability when several main cores 4 are connected, and avoiding dimensional deviations.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, a sand-shooting barrel 51 is provided at one end of the upper sand-shooting plate 5. The bottom shape of the sand-shooting barrel 51 is similar to that of the positioning groove 43 and fits into the positioning groove 43. Positioning posts 101 are provided around the support frame 1. The upper sand-shooting plate 5 is detachably connected to the positioning posts 101. The connection between the upper sand-shooting plate 5 and the positioning posts 101 can ensure that the connection of the upper sand-shooting plate 5 is stable and accurate. At the same time, the sand-shooting barrel 51 is fitted inside the positioning groove 43. The sand-shooting barrel 51 can limit the position of the main core 4, greatly preventing the main core 4 from deflecting during the connection process, making the connection between the main cores 4 more precise.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, one end of the air blowing plate 6 is provided with an air blowing nozzle 61 for blowing air onto the main core 4. The air blowing nozzle 61 is set in a groove similar in shape to the sand-shooting barrel 51. When the air blowing plate 6 is connected above the upper sand-shooting plate 5, the groove extends into the sand-shooting barrel 51. The upper sand-shooting plate 5 and the air blowing plate 6 are connected by an interlocking method, which is not only convenient and efficient in the connection process, but also maintains high precision during the connection. The air blowing nozzle 61 is connected inside the sand-shooting barrel 51 and passes through the sand-shooting barrel 51 to be connected above the positioning groove 43, which facilitates sand shooting from the direction of the air blowing nozzle 61 to connect several main cores 4 together.

[0028] When sand-shooting the main core 4, several main cores 4 are placed on the positioning base 2, and the sand core 42 is engaged in the slot 21. The cylinder 31 is driven to work, and the cylinder 31 pushes the clamping strip 32 to move toward the position of the sand core 42, so that the protrusion 33 and the sand core 42 abut against each other, fixing the position of the main core 4. The upper sand-shooting plate 5 and the support frame 1 are aligned and connected above the main core 4 and close to the main core 4. The sand-shooting barrel 51 extends into the positioning groove 43, further strengthening the connection strength between the main cores 4 and preventing displacement during the connection process. The air-blowing plate 6 is connected to the upper sand-shooting plate 5, so that the air-blowing nozzle 61 extends into the sand-shooting barrel 51 and is aligned with the positioning groove 43. Sand is shot into the air-blowing nozzle 61 to fill the positioning groove 43, so that several main cores 4 are connected into one.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
