[0028] Example two

[0029] Based on the basis of example 1, the scheme in example 1 is further refined in combination with the specific working mode as follows: Figures 1 to 4 as shown in the following description:

Further, the bottom runner 10 is connected to the front runner port 2 and the rear runner port 3, which can ensure that the hydraulic fluid flows smoothly from the front runner port 2 into the valve body casting 1, is reasonably distributed and transmitted through the bottom runner 10, and then flows out from the rear runner port 3, forming a complete and smooth fluid circuit. The apertures of the left first riser 101, the upper first riser 6 and the upper second riser 7 are all 100 mm, which is small, and is matched with the chill and the core support, optimizing the solidification sequence of the casting, strengthening the riser feeding ability, so that the casting can shrink more uniformly during solidification, and can provide sufficient molten metal for the casting during casting.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the upper riser 6 is symmetrically arranged, the inner cavity of the first runner 11 is respectively communicated with the front two runner ports 5, the two groups of upper risers 6 and the bottom layer runner 10; further, the symmetrically arranged upper riser 6 can make the top of the casting balanced in the solidification process. Since the risers are symmetrically distributed, the heat dissipation and the metal liquid supplement are basically consistent on both sides, which helps the uniform shrinkage of the top of the casting, reduces the deformation, stress concentration and other problems caused by uneven shrinkage, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy and overall quality uniformity of the casting. The first runner 11 is communicated with the front two runner ports 5, the two groups of upper risers 6 and the bottom layer runner 10, forming a complex and effective feeding network. The metal liquid can flow more smoothly from the riser and the bottom layer runner 10 to the position needing feeding through this communicated runner system, greatly enhancing the feeding effect and effectively reducing defects such as shrinkage and porosity, improving the internal quality and density of the casting.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the upper riser 6 is symmetrically arranged, the inner cavity of the first runner 11 is respectively communicated with the front two runner ports 5, the two groups of upper risers 6 and the bottom layer runner 10; further, the symmetrically arranged upper riser 6 can make the top of the casting balanced in the solidification process. Since the risers are symmetrically distributed, the heat dissipation and the metal liquid supplement are basically consistent on both sides, which helps the uniform shrinkage of the top of the casting, reduces the deformation, stress concentration and other problems caused by uneven shrinkage, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy and overall quality uniformity of the casting. The first runner 11 is communicated with the front two runner ports 5, the two groups of upper risers 6 and the bottom layer runner 10, forming a complex and effective feeding network. The metal liquid can flow more smoothly from the riser and the bottom layer runner 10 to the position needing feeding through this communicated runner system, greatly enhancing the feeding effect and effectively reducing defects such as shrinkage and porosity, improving the internal quality and density of the casting.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the fourth runner 14 is respectively communicated with the left runner port 4, the upper first runner port 8 and the bottom layer runner 10, and the inner cavity of the fifth runner 15 is respectively communicated with the upper second runner port 9 and the bottom layer runner 10; further, the fourth runner 14 connects the left runner port 4, the upper first runner port 8 and the bottom layer runner 10, providing a channel for the metal liquid to flow into the casting cavity from different directions, which can ensure that the metal liquid fills each part of the casting more comprehensively and uniformly, reduce defects such as insufficient filling and cold shut caused by insufficient filling, and ensure the complete profile and dimensional accuracy of the casting.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the upper first runner port 8 and the upper second runner port 9 are symmetrically arranged, and the two groups of upper first risers 6 and the two groups of upper second risers 7 are arranged in an equidistant spacing manner; further, the symmetric arrangement of the upper first runner port 8 and the upper second runner port 9 can make the flow paths and filling conditions of the metal liquid entering the cavity from the two ports more similar, and can more evenly fill the upper region of the casting, and the equidistantly spaced risers can make the heat dissipation and heat supplement of different positions of the upper part of the casting more uniform during the solidification process of the casting, which is helpful to form a uniform temperature field, avoid local overheating or undercooling, reduce the organization unevenness and thermal stress concentration caused by temperature difference, and improve the overall performance of the casting.

[0035] The working process of the utility model is as follows: firstly, using the twice sand shooting process, the mold is prepared first, the sand is shot into the basic shape of the valve body casting 1 through the sand shooting equipment, the first sand shooting preliminarily forms part of the structure, the second sand shooting further perfects, ensures the accurate formation of each runner, riser and runner port, etc., after forming the sand cavity in the mold, the molten metal liquid is injected into the cavity through a suitable gate, the metal liquid first enters the bottom layer runner 10, since the bottom layer runner 10 is connected with the previous runner port 2 and the next runner port 3, the metal liquid can enter and flow out from these runner ports, the symmetric arrangement of the upper first runner port 8 and the upper second runner port 9 can make the flow paths and filling conditions of the metal liquid entering the cavity from the two ports more similar, which can more evenly fill the upper region of the casting, and at the same time, other runners connected with the bottom layer runner 10 are also started to be filled, the bottom layer runner 10 distributes the fluid to each runner connected therewith, the fluid can be transmitted upward through the first runner 11, the first runner 11 guides the fluid to a specific area connected with the previous second runner port 5, realizes the flow separation or flow combination of the fluid, and continues to transmit backward to the second runner 12, the second runner 12 transmits the fluid to the third runner 13, and so on, so that the fluid flows in the valve body casting 1 according to the predetermined route.

[0036] The fourth runner 14 connects the left runner port 4, the upper first runner port 8 and the bottom runner 10, providing a channel for the fluid to flow into the casting cavity from different directions, so that the fluid can more fully and uniformly fill each part of the casting and flow to different areas as needed. The fifth runner 15 is a branch runner on the right side of the fourth runner 14, further refining the flow path of the fluid, allowing it to be more precisely distributed to each desired area. As the temperature of the metal liquid decreases and begins to solidify, the left first riser 101, the upper first riser 6, the upper second riser 7 and the front riser 51 come into play. The metal liquid stored in the riser is under the action of gravity and negative pressure generated by solidification shrinkage, and flows through the channel connected to the casting to the solidification shrinkage part of the casting. The upper first riser 6 is symmetrically arranged and communicates with the first runner 11, which can balance the feeding of the front area of the top of the casting. The upper second riser 7 is symmetrically arranged and communicates with the third runner 13, which can effectively feed the rear area of the top of the casting. The left first riser 101 feeds the lower area on the left side of the bottom runner 10, and so on. Combined with the cold iron and core support, the solidification sequence is optimized, so that the casting gradually solidifies from the part farthest from the riser to the direction of the riser, reducing defects such as shrinkage holes and porosity. The above is the working principle of the hydraulic master valve body casting.
