Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement in the production device for an industrial robot base, specifically a ductile iron industrial robot rotating base mold casting structure. Background Technology
[0002] The base of an industrial robot is the foundation of its overall rotational freedom. It houses the robot's drive and electrical control equipment and stabilizes the robot's center of gravity. Therefore, the base of an industrial robot is usually cast. The base is characterized by its large weight and uneven thickness, with the upper wall thickness being less than the lower wall thickness. This can lead to shrinkage defects caused by uneven cooling. Furthermore, the side of the base has lateral holes, which affect the flow of molten metal during molding. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the casting structure of the mold to enhance the filling effect of the molten metal and reduce molding defects. Thus, the molding mold needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing technology and to provide a ductile iron industrial robot rotating base mold casting structure.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: The mold casting structure includes an outer template, a sand mold, a wax mold, and a partition block. The outer template is the outer layer of the mold, and the interior of the outer template is a sand mold with a forming cavity. The forming cavity is a space for molten iron to be poured and solidified. A wax mold is filled in the forming cavity, and a partition block is filled and connected at the forming hole of the wax mold. The partition block is embedded in the sand mold connecting both sides of the forming cavity. A casting channel is formed in the sand mold, and the end of the casting channel is connected to the forming cavity from the bottom of the mold. An exhaust structure is also connected to the flow end of the forming cavity. The exhaust structure is formed in the sand mold and extends upward. The outer template is used to fix the sand mold and can prevent the sand mold from expanding and deforming. The wax mold is used to support the space in the forming cavity and can also maintain the forming accuracy of the forming cavity. The partition block can be used to form lateral holes, which is convenient for fixing and demolding, and improves the forming accuracy. The mold as a whole has an exhaust structure, which can discharge the gas in the forming cavity while maintaining the forming pressure, which can effectively improve the filling effect, reduce forming defects, and improve product quality.
[0005] Furthermore, the outer template forms a rectangular cube enclosure structure, each face of which includes an enclosure plate. The edges of the enclosure plates are connected at angles by fasteners. The top enclosure plate has a casting port and a vent. The casting port is positioned to correspond to the casting flow channel, and the vent is positioned to correspond to the venting structure. A pressure-holding ring is also provided in the vent, embedded in the inner diameter of the vent. The enclosure plates are fixedly connected by fasteners, allowing for a larger casting pressure. The pressure-holding ring of the vent maintains the pressure inside the mold, keeping the filled liquid flow under pressure, reducing the forming volume of the riser, avoiding the amount of material to be cut during subsequent processing, and improving material utilization efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, the casting runner is located in the center of the mold, and symmetrical molding cavities are arranged on both sides of the casting runner. Each molding cavity is used to cast a base product. Each molding cavity has a separate venting structure at its far end. The venting structures are separate and do not communicate with each other. Two or more products can be molded simultaneously in the same mold, which improves processing efficiency and reduces waste generation.
[0007] Furthermore, the casting runner includes a main runner, branch runners, and a flow inlet. The main runner's diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom. A branch runner connects to the bottom of the main runner and extends to the forming cavity. The forming cavity and the branch runners are connected via a flow inlet, which has a flat conical structure. The casting runner can handle a large flow of molten metal. The flat structure of the flow inlet facilitates the removal of waste material, resulting in high-quality molding and reduced surface defects in the product.
[0008] Furthermore, the venting structure includes a pressure-holding nozzle and a venting channel. The pressure-holding nozzle is connected to the molding cavity, and its diameter gradually increases, extending into the venting channel. The venting channel extends upward and communicates with the external environment of the mold. The pressure-holding nozzle can maintain the pressure inside the molding cavity, which is beneficial for liquid flow to fill hard-to-reach locations and reduce product defects.
[0009] Furthermore, the partition block is an integral structure made of high-temperature resistant material. It has a bore body that mates with the side hole and insert blocks at both ends of the bore body, which are embedded in the sand mold. The function of the partition block is to support the forming space of the side hole, and its structure has good embedding strength and is not easily displaced, which can improve the positional accuracy of the side hole.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: This design is a molding die for a rotating base of an industrial robot, which can improve the molding quality of the product, reduce defects, improve the precision of the structure, and help the robot rotate and work with high precision.
