Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting sand mixing technology, specifically to a rapid sand mixing device for casting. Background Technology

[0002] Sand casting is a casting method that uses raw sand with certain properties as the main molding material to make molds and produce castings. Sand mold making requires molding sand, which is made by mixing raw sand, molding sand binder, and additives in a certain proportion. Molding sand is usually divided into wet mold and dry mold. It is usually made using a sand mixer. The most common sand mixer is the blade sand mixer. The working principle of the blade sand mixer is to force the material to mix and homogenize it during the rotation of the blades. The material inside is basically moved by the rotating blades. Some molding sand and binder may sink slightly or partially due to density and other reasons, and it takes a certain amount of time to mix evenly. This results in a long mixing time and low mixing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid sand mixing device for casting, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] Rapid sand mixing equipment for casting includes:

[0006] The system comprises a base plate, a sand mixing mechanism, and a shaking mechanism. The sand mixing mechanism is located above the base plate and includes a U-shaped frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, the rapid sand mixing device for casting includes:

[0023] The system includes a base plate 100, a sand mixing mechanism 200, and a shaking mechanism 400. The sand mixing mechanism 200 is located above the base plate 100 and includes a U-shaped frame 210. The bottom ends of both arms of the U-shaped frame 210 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 100. A frame 220 is provided between the two arms of the U-shaped frame 210, and support rods 221 are fixedly connected to the middle of opposite sides of the frame 220. One end of each support rod 221 is rotatably connected to the middle of the two arms of the U-shaped frame 210. A barrel 230 is provided inside the frame 220. Multiple stirring shafts 240 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the barrel 230. Both ends of the multiple stirring shafts 240 are fixedly sleeved with connecting cylinders 241. Multiple stirring blades 242 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of any connecting cylinder 241. Two locking strips 232 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the barrel 230. Two opposing inner walls of the frame 220 are fixedly connected with locking rails 222. The two locking strips 232 are slidably locked into the two locking rails 222 respectively. A barrel lid 231 is screwed onto the inner side of the top opening of the barrel 230. The shaking mechanism 400 is located on one side of the frame 220.

[0024] Specifically, the material is placed inside the barrel 230, and then the barrel lid 231 is screwed onto the opening of the barrel 230 to seal it. The top opening of the barrel 230 has threads on the inside, and the barrel lid 231 has a threaded ring for engaging with the threads on the barrel 230. A handle can be fitted onto the barrel lid 231 as needed. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In use, after the barrel 230 is closed with the barrel lid 231, multiple stirring shafts 240 can be rotated, causing the multiple stirring shafts 240 to drive the connected connecting cylinder 241 to rotate. The stirring blades 242 on the connecting cylinder 241 mix the material in the barrel 230. While the stirring blades 242 are mixing the material, the barrel 230 can be rotated as a whole by the rotating frame 220. This causes the material inside the barrel 230 to rotate synchronously with the barrel 230 and come into contact with the stirring blades 242. This allows material that may have been deposited at the bottom of the barrel 230 to move inside the barrel 230 after the barrel 230 rotates, changing its position and being mixed by the stirring blades 242, thereby improving the mixing efficiency. Example 1

[0025] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple motor boxes 243 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the barrel 230, and each of the multiple motor boxes 243 is equipped with a drive motor. The multiple drive motors correspond one-to-one with multiple stirring shafts 240, and the motor shafts of the multiple drive motors are fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding stirring shaft 240. Drive boxes 300 are fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped frame 210, and each of the two drive boxes 300 is equipped with a swing cylinder. The output ends of the two swing cylinders are fixedly connected to one end of the two support rods 221 respectively.

[0026] In this embodiment, multiple drive motors can be activated to rotate adjacent stirring shafts 240. Each motor housing 243 is equipped with a motor controller to control the start, stop, speed, and direction of the drive motors. Activating two swing cylinders can slowly rotate the frame 220. During the slow rotation of the frame 220, the material inside the barrel 230 will move naturally due to the rotation of the barrel 230. When material is added into the barrel 230, it will not fill the barrel 230 completely. When the barrel 230 rotates to the point where its central axis is parallel to the ground, most of the material inside the barrel 230 will be spread at the bottom of the inner side wall. At this time, the stirring blades 242 near the material can scoop and scrape the material spread on the inner side wall of the barrel 230. The rotating stirring blades 242 can also splash and agitate the material to the top of the inner side wall of the barrel 230. By continuously splashing the material, the original position of the material is changed, improving the mixing efficiency of the material. The swing cylinders, motor controllers, and drive motors are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the shaking mechanism 400 includes:

[0028] The connecting frame 410 and the power box 420 are U-shaped. One end of each arm of the connecting frame 410 is fixedly connected to the center of the two long sides of one side of the frame 220. One side of the power box 420 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 410. The power box 420 is equipped with two electric hoists, and each of the two electric hoists is equipped with a wire rope 421. The top and bottom ends of the frame 220 are provided with circular holes, and one end of each of the two wire ropes 421 passes through the two circular holes. One end of each of the two wire ropes 421 is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the bucket cover 231 and the center of the bottom surface of the bucket 230, respectively.

[0029] In practice, by activating two electric hoists, when one electric hoist rewinds the adjacent wire rope 421, the other electric hoist releases the adjacent wire rope 421. This causes the two wire ropes 421 to pull the barrel 230 back and forth within the frame 220, causing the material inside the barrel 230 to sway synchronously due to the swaying of the barrel 230, changing the position of the material inside the barrel 230, and improving the mixing efficiency. When unloading from the barrel 230, the barrel lid 231 can be unscrewed, and then the swing cylinder can be activated to tilt the opening of the barrel 230 downwards. Then, one electric hoist is activated to lift the barrel 230 back and forth, and then lower the barrel 230, so that the barrel 230 sways while maintaining the downward tilt of the opening, thus facilitating the pouring out of the material inside the barrel 230. Example 2

[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, a guide frame 430 is provided to prevent the steel wire rope 421 from affecting the movement of the barrel 230.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the power box 420 is fixedly connected to guide frames 430 on both sides, and one end of each guide frame 430 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom ends of the frame 220. The guide frame 430 is arc-shaped and has a U-shaped cross-section. The top and bottom ends of the frame 220 are fixedly connected to U-shaped seats 440. A roller 441 is rotatably connected between the two arms of any U-shaped seat 440. An annular groove is opened at the center of the outer wall of any roller 441, and two steel wire ropes 421 are located inside the two annular grooves respectively.

[0032] In practice, the wire rope 421 is supported by two arc-shaped guide frames 430 to prevent the wire rope 421 from contacting the barrel 230 that slides back and forth inside the frame 220. The wire rope 421 is also supported by the roller 441 to make the wire rope 421 move more smoothly when it is driven by the electric hoist.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
