Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of investment casting, and in particular to an investment casting sand filling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is a precision casting method mainly used to produce complex-shaped and high-precision metal parts. The process involves pouring molten metal into a mold made of high-temperature resistant material. The mold is usually formed by first creating a wax model, then covering the outer layer of the wax model with refractory material. The wax is then melted and removed by heating to form a cavity, and finally casting is performed. This method is widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical device and other fields, and can achieve the production of high-precision and complex-structured castings.
[0003] A sand filling machine is a piece of equipment used in investment casting to produce casting molds. Its working principle is to mix sand with a binder and fill it into the outer layer of the wax pattern or metal mold to form a casting shell. This shell plays a supporting and high-temperature resistance role in the investment casting process, ensuring that the mold does not deform when molten metal is poured in. Precise control of the sand filling machine can improve the strength and surface quality of the mold, reduce defects, and ensure the precision and smoothness of the final casting. This technology is particularly suitable for the manufacture of castings with complex shapes and high precision requirements, such as in the aerospace and high-end manufacturing fields.
[0004] In the field of investment casting, the commonly used sand filling machine is the sand spraying machine. Its main function is to evenly spread fine sand on the surface of the mold to form a solid sand shell. This process uses high-pressure airflow to precisely spray sand onto the surface of the model, ensuring the uniformity and density of the sand shell, thereby improving the surface quality and strength of the casting. However, during the sand spraying process, the adhesive adhering to the surface of the wax model will drip into the inside of the sand spraying machine, causing the quartz sand to clump and affecting normal use. Therefore, a sand filling machine for investment casting is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the base drives the drum to rotate, and the partition continuously tumbles and throws the quartz sand inside the drum. At the same time, the paddle is moved, which drives the slide rod to pull the rubber block to compress the spring. When the partition is disconnected from the paddle, the spring will immediately push the rubber block to hit the fixed shell, causing the screen to vibrate. This disperses the quartz sand that is stuck together, preventing it from solidifying and clumping, which would affect normal use.

At the same time, the dust is filtered by the filter screen, and the accidentally sucked-in quartz sand is intercepted. At the same time, the spring pushes the slide plate to drive the insertion rod into the collection frame, realizing the recovery of the accidentally sucked-in quartz sand. This saves costs and allows the collection frame to be quickly removed, making it convenient to take out the quartz sand in the collection frame. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Working Principle: When using this device, the wax model is inserted into the drum 2. As the drum 2 rotates, the partition 3 continuously tumbles and polishes the quartz sand. When the adhesive on the wax model drips into the inside of the drum 2, the quartz sand will stick together. With the tumbling and polishing of the partition 3, the stuck quartz sand will remain on the screen 6. At the same time, the partition 3 continuously moves the lever 11, which pulls the slide rod 8 to move the rubber block 9 synchronously and compress the spring 10. When the partition 3 is disconnected from the lever 11, the spring 10 will immediately push the rubber block 9, causing it to strike the fixed shell 7, making the screen 6 vibrate and shaking off the stuck quartz sand to avoid affecting the molding effect. During the tumbling and polishing by the partition 3, a large amount of dust is generated. Under the action of the rear suction port 4 and the front suction port 5, all this dust will be sucked away. At the same time, some quartz sand will be sucked away. Under the action of filter screen 13, the quartz sand will be intercepted and fall into collection frame 14. When the work is finished, by pulling the plug rod 16, the slide plate 17 will compress the second spring 18, so that the plug rod 16 is pulled out from the collection frame 14. At the same time, the baffle 19 will automatically fall into the outer shell 15 to block the outlet of the plug rod 16. At this time, the collection frame 14 is unlocked. Then, the collection frame 14 is pulled out from the sleeve frame 12, and the quartz sand in the collection frame 14 is poured back into the roller 2. Then, the collection frame 14 is reinserted into the sleeve frame 12. Under the limit of the limiting plate 20, the baffle 19 is pulled. At this time, the second spring 18 will immediately push the slide plate 17 to reset, and drive the plug rod 16 to re-insert into the collection frame 14 to achieve fixation. At this time, it can be used normally, effectively saving costs.
