[0002] Sand casting refers to a casting method for producing castings in a sand mold. Steel, iron and most non-ferrous alloy castings can be obtained by sand casting method. Since sand casting uses sand as mold material, the mold making material used is cheap and easy to obtain, and can be reused, and the mold manufacturing is simple, which can adapt to single piece production, batch production and mass production of castings, therefore, sand casting is an important and basic process method widely used in machine manufacturing.

[0003] When sand casting is carried out, the sand used for mold making needs to be transported by air hoisting, and the existing transport tool is a sand loading and unloading box. The bottom of the existing sand loading and unloading box is processed with a sand outlet, and a switch plate is installed on the sand outlet. The switch plate can be pushed and pulled or rotated to open or close the sand outlet. In the actual use of the sand loading and unloading box for air hoisting transportation of sand, the push and pull or rotation operation of most switch plates is manually operated by workers. Manual operation is time-consuming and laborious, and the labor intensity of workers is high, and the work safety is low. The push and pull or rotation operation of a small number of switch plates is automatically controlled by electric or hydraulic devices. Although the labor intensity of workers is reduced and the work safety is improved, the manufacturing and use cost is higher, the automatic switch is not smooth, the failure rate is high, and the service life is low.

[0015] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the first embodiment, a self-help opening and closing device for a sand loading and unloading box comprises a loading and unloading box body 1, an upper sliding support 2, a sliding switch plug 3, a sealing ring 4 and a lower jacking support 5, the bottom of the loading and unloading box body 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 11, the discharge pipe 11 is funnel-shaped, the upper end inlet is large in caliber, the lower end outlet is small in caliber, a connecting flange is fixedly installed at the lower end outlet of the discharge pipe 11, the sealing ring 4 is arranged on the lower end outlet of the discharge pipe 11, a discharge hole 41 is arranged in the middle of the sealing ring 4, the sealing ring 4 is connected with the connecting flange through connecting screws, when the sealing ring 4 needs to be replaced due to wear, the sealing ring 4 can be conveniently and quickly replaced, the upper sliding support 2 comprises a sliding block 21 and upper support rods 22, the sliding block 21 is provided with a sliding hole in the middle, the upper part of the sliding block 21 is a conical table, a plurality of upper support rods 22 are uniformly arranged in a circular array around the sliding block 21, upper support gaps 23 are formed between the plurality of upper support rods 22, the upper sliding support 2 is arranged inside the discharge pipe 11, the upper support rods 22 are fixedly connected with the discharge pipe 11, the sliding switch plug 3 is arranged between the upper sliding support 2 and the sealing ring 4, the sliding switch plug 3 comprises an upper sliding rod 31 and a lower switch plug 32, the upper sliding rod 31 is inserted into the sliding hole of the sliding block 21, the upper sliding rod 31 can freely slide up and down in the sliding hole, the upper part of the upper sliding rod 31 is a circular cone, the lower switch plug 32 is a spindle-shaped member, which is divided into an upper circular cone and a lower circular cone, the lower circular cone of the lower switch plug 32 is inserted into the discharge hole 41 and is in contact with the upper hole edge of the discharge hole 41 to seal and close, the lower jacking support 5 is arranged directly below the sliding switch plug 3, the lower jacking support 5 comprises a jacking column 51 and lower support rods 52, a plurality of lower support rods 52 are uniformly arranged in a circular array around the jacking column 51, lower support gaps 53 are formed between the plurality of lower support rods 52, the lower switch plug 32 is provided with a positioning conical hole 33 at the lower bottom, the upper part of the jacking column 51 is provided with a circular cone.

[0016] As Figure 4 shown in the second embodiment, the technical scheme is deformed and improved, the lower switch plug 32 is a circular spherical member, the lower half of the circular spherical member is inserted into the discharge hole 41 and is in contact with the upper hole edge of the discharge hole 41 to seal and close.

[0017] The working principle of the self-help switch device of the sand loading and unloading box is as follows: the loading and unloading box body 1 is suspended on a crane or a travelling crane, and the lower lifting support 5 is placed at a sand unloading position; when the loading and unloading box body 1 needs to be filled with sand, the sliding switch plug 3 slides downward under the action of its own gravity, so that the lower part of the lower switch plug 32 is in contact with the upper hole edge of the discharge hole 41 to seal and close, and the linear contact sealing is more compact; at this time, the sliding switch plug 3 is in a closed state; when the loading and unloading box body 1 is filled with sand, the sand exerts a downward extrusion force on the lower switch plug 32, so that the contact sealing is more firm and sand leakage is prevented; when the loading and unloading box body 1 needs to be unloaded at the upper position of the sand unloading position, the loading and unloading box body 1 moves downward, so that the lower switch plug 32 is in contact with the lifting column 51, the upper part of the lifting column 51 is inserted into the positioning taper hole 33, the loading and unloading box body 1 continues to move downward, the sliding switch plug 3 slides upward under the action of the reaction force of the lifting column 51, so that the lower switch plug 32 is away from the discharge hole 41, and a discharge gap is formed between the lower switch plug 32 and the discharge hole 41; at this time, the sliding switch plug 3 is in an open state, and the sand in the loading and unloading box body 1 flows out from the discharge gap and the discharge hole 41, and then flows into the sand unloading position through the lower support gap 53.

[0018] The sliding switch plug 3 slides downward under its own gravity to close, and slides upward under the action of the reaction force of the lifting column 51 to open when the loading and unloading box body 1 moves downward, so that the self-help switch operation is realized, and the operation is simple and fast, and the switch is flexible and reliable.

[0019] The upper part of the upper sliding rod 31 is a conical body, and the lower switch plug 32 is a spindle-shaped member or a spherical member, which is beneficial to reducing the upward sliding resistance of the sliding switch plug 3 when the sand is unloaded, so that the opening is flexible and smooth without jamming.

[0020] However, any change or replacement without creative labor is also covered in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be limited by the protection scope defined in the claims.
