Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but only represents selected embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] The utility model relates to a preferred embodiment of a core structure for casting.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 :

[0030] The sand core structure for casting comprises lower box sand 1 and upper box sand placed in a sand box, and a cavity formed by the lower box sand 1 and the upper box sand together constitutes a mold cavity 2 for forming a casting 3, the shape and size of the mold cavity 2 match the external shape and size of the casting 3. A sand core 4 is installed inside the mold cavity 2, and the shape and size of the sand core 4 match the internal shape and size of the casting 3.

[0031] Specifically, first, the sand core 4 is hollowed inside and thin-walled structure is formed along the casting axial direction, wherein the wall thickness of the sand core 4 is ensured to be 20-25 mm, so as to reduce the cost and ensure the strength of the sand core, and effectively prevent the sand core from being burned through by high-temperature molten iron during casting.

[0032] Further, in order to ensure the integrity and high quality of the casting, the core head part of the sand core 4 is arranged to axially exceed the casting by at least 20 mm.

[0033] Secondly, the core head part of the sand core 4 is arranged in a stepped structure, having a first outer edge 41, a second outer edge 42, a third outer edge 43 and a fourth outer edge 44 formed in sequence, and when the lower box sand 1 and the upper box sand are combined, each outer edge is provided with a different gap size on the contact surface with the corresponding position of the mold sand.

[0034] In detail:

[0035] The gap one 5 is formed between the contact surface of the first outer edge 41 and the corresponding mold sand, and the size of the gap one 5 is 0.5-1 mm, which can ensure that the outer mold does not press the sand core during the combining process, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of knocking sand, i.e. preventing the sand from being squeezed into the mold cavity, and further causing defects such as sand eyes.

[0036] The gap two 6 is formed between the contact surface of the second outer edge 42 and the corresponding mold sand, and the size of the gap two 6 is 0.2-0.5 mm, which can avoid the influence of direct contact on the production of the casting, and ensure the quality and production efficiency of the casting.

[0037] The third outer edge 43 and the corresponding mold sand are tightly matched, i.e. the gap three 7 is 0, and there is no gap between them, which can ensure that the molten iron does not accidentally penetrate into the mold cavity during casting, and even if the sand core is slightly knocked during casting, this tight gap can effectively prevent the sand or molten iron from entering the mold cavity, thereby ensuring the quality of the casting.

[0038] The fourth outer edge 44 and the contact surface of the corresponding sand form a gap four 8, the size of the gap four 8 is 0.5-0.7mm, the gap four 8 can provide the necessary space, ensure that the sand core can have a certain space to adapt and adjust when affected by factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, assembly error, etc., avoid assembly problems or casting defects caused by too tight size, effectively improve the casting stability and ensure the quality of the casting.

[0039] Preferably, the size of the gap one 6 is 0.5mm, the size of the gap two 7 is 0.3mm, and the size of the gap four 8 is 0.5mm.

[0040] Further, the joint position of the second outer edge 42 and the third outer edge 43 has a flange 9 extending along the outer circumferential direction of the sand core, which can enhance the structural strength of the sand core.

[0041] Preferably, the length of the flange 9 is 5-10mm, and the thickness is 5-10mm.

[0042] Since the gas generated in the manufacturing process of the sand core mainly accumulates in the cavity of the sand core, according to the need, the utility model discloses a venting fin 11 and a venting needle 12 are connected on the parting surface 10 between the lower box sand and the upper box sand, so that the accumulated gas can be effectively discharged through the venting fin 11 and the venting needle 12 on the parting surface, thereby the risk of generating pores in the casting can be significantly reduced, and the influence of the gas on the casting manufacturing can be reduced.

[0043] Preferably, the thickness of the venting fin 11 is controlled to be 5-10mm, and the diameter of the venting needle 12 is controlled to be 15-20mm, so as to ensure that the gas can be smoothly discharged.

[0044] On the basis of the above structure, a lower core alignment platform 13 is further arranged on the sand core 4, and the arrangement of the lower core alignment platform can ensure that the sand core is accurately placed into the cavity. When the sand core is successfully lowered into place, the surface of the lower core alignment platform 13 reaches the same level height as the upper surface of the lower box sand 1, and the visual alignment state directly indicates that the sand core has been accurately installed to the predetermined position.

[0045] The beneficial effects of the sand core structure for casting are:

[0046] Sand core hole and wall thickness guarantee: the sand core is designed with a hole and a thin wall, which reduces the cost while ensuring a certain strength of the sand core, prevents it from being burned through by high-temperature molten iron during casting, and the hole is set according to the needs of the core pulling operation, so that the hand can be put in to ensure that the core pulling is convenient and will not damage the sand core.

[0047] The core head position special structure is designed as follows: the core head position is designed with different gap sizes corresponding to the contact surface of the sand, which ensures that the outer mold does not press the sand core when the mold is closed, prevents the sand from being knocked and the sand hole, avoids the direct contact to affect the casting, guarantees the casting quality and efficiency, tightly cooperates to prevent the iron water from penetrating, avoids the empty design to increase the stability, effectively discharges the accumulated gas, reduces the gas influence, and ensures the high-quality production of the casting.

[0048] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, which is made by using the content of the present application, is also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
