Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to foundry equipment technical field, concretely relates to a sand core molding equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The sand core molding equipment is a key equipment for manufacturing sand cores, and its working principle is to fill the coated sand containing phenolic resin into a heated metal mold, keep for a certain time, melt the phenolic resin in the coated sand near the inner wall of the mold, and bond the coated sand particles together to form a sand core with a certain thickness along the inner wall of the mold. After pouring out the excess coated sand in the sand core, continue to heat for a certain time to obtain a hollow shell sand core. A variety of technical solutions about the sand core molding equipment are proposed in the prior art, for example, the patent for invention with the authorization announcement number CN 109290528 B discloses a core making machine, which comprises a rack and a sand shooting unit. The rack comprises four guide rod columns and fixed plates one and two, movable plates one and two arranged on the guide rod columns. A lower core box is fixed on the fixed plate two, and an upper core box is fixed on the movable plate one. A center plate is fixed outside the fixed plate one and the fixed plate two, and guide rails are fixed on both sides of the center plate.
