TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to foundry technology field, more specifically, relate to a kind of planetary carrier shell core preparation mould. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and manufacturing, the demand for castings is also increasing. Especially in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, engineering machinery, oil and gas resources, the demand for high-quality and high-precision castings is particularly strong. In addition, with the rise of emerging markets such as new energy vehicles and smart devices, the foundry industry has also brought new growth points. At the same time, the foundry industry also faces many challenges in the development process.
[0003] Planetary carrier is a common transmission device, widely used in the gearbox of automobile. Due to its complex internal structure, sand core is usually needed when casting blank, and sand core is used to generate the inner cavity of planetary carrier.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent application No. CN202310411154.9, published on July 28, 2023, discloses a planetary carrier casting system structure and casting method. The planetary carrier casting system includes: planetary carrier casting mold, riser and sprue. The planetary carrier casting mold includes a main body structure and an annular plate with a central hole. The main body structure includes a cone, a circular table and a plurality of columns connected in order from top to bottom. The riser includes: a clear riser and a dark riser. The clear riser is arranged on the upper end of the cone, and the dark riser is corresponding to the column and connected to the connecting end face of the column and the annular plate. The sprue has a first port and a second port at its upper end. The first port is connected to the plurality of dark risers respectively, and the second port is connected to the clear riser. It also includes: a first sand core and a second sand core. The first sand core is adapted in the cavity defined by the plurality of columns, and the second sand core is adapted in the central hole of the annular plate. The connecting end face between the column and the annular plate is a parting surface.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent application No. CN202311282899.6, published on January 16, 2024, discloses a vertical line planetary carrier sand casting process, belonging to the technical field of sand casting. The vertical line planetary carrier sand casting process of the present application comprises the following steps: S1, molding and sand preparation; S2, placing the mold in the sand box, then filling the sand to full box to form the casting mold; S3, setting the sprue, riser and water inlet, and closing the box; S4, heating the sand box; S5, pouring molten iron into the sand mold, and after the casting is formed, carrying out sand dropping and shot blasting treatment; S6, inspection and storage.
[0006] Both of the above two schemes are casting processes for generating a planetary carrier by a sand core, however, a traditional sand core generally adopts a solid core. The solid core has problems of relatively large weight, relatively high cost and relatively long production time, therefore, in order to improve the manufacturing level of an enterprise and strengthen the market competitiveness of the enterprise, a shell core emerges as the times require. The shell core is a hollow sand core which can be quickly hardened to form a shell layer of a certain thickness after the core sand contacts with a core box, and the unhardened core sand can be poured out from the core box. The shell core is rarely used in the existing casting process of a planetary carrier, and therefore a relatively perfect mold and process for preparing the shell core of the planetary carrier are also lacking.
