Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hot melt adhesive core assembly tooling, belonging to the field of mold tooling technology. Background Technology
[0002] Sand casting is a molding method that uses molding sand and core sand as molding materials. Molten metal is poured into a mold, and after cooling, solidification, and finishing, a predetermined shape, size, and properties are obtained. With the development of technology, sand casting is also developing towards precision, greenness, and automation. As castings become more precise and casting production becomes more automated, the sand cores used in sand casting are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, most castings cannot be formed using a single sand core; different sand cores need to be bonded together, dried, and cooled before being supplied to the molding department.
[0003] The assembly of casting sand cores is mostly done manually. Adhesive is applied to the areas to be bonded. Since the adhesive requires a considerable amount of time to establish its bonding effect, simple assembly fixtures and positioning devices are often used to fix the sand cores. Currently, common technologies include fixture clamping, mechanical clamping, and cylinder clamping to prevent relative movement of the assembled sand cores before the adhesive takes effect, which could cause dimensional changes. Existing technologies require a large number of clamping fixtures and jigs to ensure sufficient time for the assembled sand cores to bond. Due to the diversity of casting products and the significant differences in the shape and size of sand cores between different castings, it is impossible to standardize the fixtures and jigs. Therefore, a large quantity and variety of fixtures are needed, resulting in high costs and large footprints. Over long-term use, wear and deformation of the fixtures are inevitable, requiring regular maintenance to prevent inaccurate sand core positioning and dimensional deviations in the castings. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a hot melt adhesive core assembly tooling, and with the hot melt adhesive core assembly technology, the hot melt adhesive cures quickly, so that the sand core assembly has adhesiveness immediately after completion, without the need for complicated equipment and many clamping jigs.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a hot melt adhesive core assembly fixture, including a fixture frame, a fixed fixture and a movable fixture. The fixed fixture and the movable fixture are set on the fixture frame. The fixture frame is provided with a slide rail for the movable fixture to move. The movable fixture is set on the slide rail. The front and rear ends of the slide rail are respectively provided with a front limit block and a rear limit block. The front limit block and the rear limit block limit the range of motion of the movable fixture. The fixed fixture and the movable fixture are respectively provided with sand core positioning grooves. The sand cores to be bonded are respectively placed in the sand core positioning grooves of the fixed fixture and the movable fixture.
[0006] The movable fixture is equipped with a motion base and a handle. The motion base is mounted on a slide rail, and pushing the handle can move the movable fixture back and forth on the slide rail.
[0007] The movable clamp holds a #1 sand core, and the fixed clamp holds a #2 sand core. The #1 sand core has a groove that engages with the #2 sand core, and the #2 sand core has a protrusion that engages with the #1 sand core. The protrusion has a hot melt adhesive application position and an ASK core adhesive application position.
[0008] The tooling frame is made of 45# steel, and the front limit block, rear limit block and motion base are made of 20Mn2 wear-resistant steel.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: using this core assembly tooling, the sand core assembly speed is fast, the core assembly size is accurate, and the core can be immediately transferred to the next process after assembly, which improves production efficiency, shortens the overall cycle time, and avoids core assembly becoming a bottleneck process. At the same time, it saves a lot of assembly jigs and fixtures, reduces the manufacturing cost of jigs and fixtures, reduces the space occupied, and reduces maintenance procedures.
