[0005] The exhaust mechanism for investment casting mold shells of this utility model is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] An exhaust mechanism for an investment casting mold shell includes a base, a fixed base, and a rubber suction hood;

[0007] A set of side plates is fixedly installed at both ends of the base. A set of movable frames is threadedly installed at both ends of the base. A set of guide blocks is fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the movable frames. Positioning grooves are equidistantly opened at the outer ends of the guide blocks. A set of guide grooves is opened at both ends of the fixed base. The guide grooves at both ends of the fixed base are slidably installed on the guide blocks at both ends of the bottom of the movable frames. A positioning block is also slidably installed at the outer end of the fixed base. The positioning block at the outer end of the fixed base is inserted into the positioning groove of the guide block. A set of exhaust fans is fixedly installed at the top of the base. A telescopic tube is connected to the top of the rubber suction hood. The rubber suction hood is connected to the bottom end of the exhaust fans through the telescopic tube. A set of mounting plates is also fixedly installed on the rubber suction hood. The mounting plates are slidably installed at the bottom of the base. A fixing plate is fixedly installed at the inner end of the fixed base.

[0008] In at least some embodiments, a set of support plates are fixedly installed on the outer end of the fixed base, and a set of sliding holes are provided on the support plates. A set of connecting rods are fixedly installed on the outer end of the positioning block, and the connecting rods at the outer end of the positioning block are slidably installed in the sliding holes of the support plates on the fixed base.

[0009] In at least some embodiments, a set of inner sliding grooves are respectively opened at both ends of the interior of the seat, and a set of sliding shafts are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting plate, and the sliding shafts at both ends of the mounting plate are slidably installed on the inner sliding grooves at both ends of the interior of the seat.

[0010] In at least some embodiments, a set of guide rods is fixedly installed on the base, and a set of guide holes are opened on the top of the movable frame, and the guide holes on the top of the two sets of movable frames are respectively slidably installed on the guide rods of the base.

[0011] In at least some embodiments, a set of first elastic members are respectively installed in the inner sliding grooves at both ends of the seat body, and the bottom end of the first elastic member is in contact with the top surface of the sliding shaft on the mounting plate.

[0012] In at least some embodiments, a set of second elastic members is sleeved on the connecting rod at the outer end of the positioning block, and the outer end of the second elastic member is in contact with the inner end face of the support plate on the fixed seat.

[0013] In at least some embodiments, a set of double-ended screws is rotatably mounted on the base, and a set of threaded holes is opened on the top of the movable frame, with the two sets of threaded holes on the top of the movable frame respectively threaded onto the two ends of the double-ended screws.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the venting mechanism for investment casting mold shell of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The movable frame is designed to be threaded onto both ends of a double-ended screw via threaded holes at the top of two sets of movable frames. Guide holes at the top of the two sets of movable frames are slidably mounted on guide rods of the base. Rotating the double-ended screw causes the two sets of movable frames threaded onto it to move inwards simultaneously, facilitating quick and easy installation onto the investment casting mold for venting. The connecting rod at the outer end of the positioning block is slidably mounted in the sliding hole of the support plate on the fixed base. Pulling the positioning block outwards causes guide grooves at both ends of the fixed base to slidably mount onto guide blocks at both ends of the bottom of the movable frame.
