Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tools for casting titanium alloy parts, specifically a reusable split-type funnel for casting titanium alloy parts. Background Technology

[0002] Funnels are essential tools for casting titanium alloy parts. Generally, casting funnels are made of cast iron in one piece, but they are not suitable for casting titanium alloys. The weight of cast iron makes operation inconvenient and the thick solidified shell inside the funnel is difficult to remove effectively. It is also not conducive to reuse and increases unnecessary labor.

[0003] When casting titanium alloy parts, the diameter of the guide nozzle at the bottom of the funnel will be adjusted according to the required amount of metal. In actual production, the funnel is frequently replaced, and a large number of funnels of different sizes need to be made on site, resulting in a huge waste of resources. After a few furnaces, the funnel is prone to deformation or direct scrapping. Frequent replacement of new funnels does not achieve the effect of reuse and will also increase the production cost of titanium alloy casting.

[0004] A search revealed a utility model patent in China, CN215746383U, which discloses a reusable split-type funnel for casting titanium alloys. The general description includes a funnel cup and several funnel nozzles. The funnel cup is an inverted cone shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The funnel nozzles are detachably connected to the lower opening of the funnel cup. During use, the general-purpose funnel cup can be reused during the casting process, and funnel nozzles of different sizes can meet the dimensional requirements of casting products. Furthermore, since severe deformation mainly occurs in the funnel nozzle area, the deformation-induced... The device can be used and scrapped, and the funnel nozzle can be directly replaced, which reduces the production cost of titanium alloy castings. Moreover, the solidified shell formed in the funnel after titanium alloy casting can be disassembled and removed without consuming a lot of manpower, saving a lot of labor and improving production efficiency. However, the above device still has some shortcomings. For example, when separating the funnel cup and the funnel nozzle, multiple bolts need to be frequently disassembled and installed. This process is too time-consuming and does not facilitate the quick replacement of the funnel nozzle, affecting the overall work efficiency. Therefore, we propose a reusable split funnel for titanium alloy casting. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A reusable, split-type funnel made of titanium alloy, comprising:

[0028] Funnel cup 1;

[0029] Funnel nozzle 2 is located below funnel cup 1;

[0030] The connecting mechanism is located on the funnel cup 1 and the funnel nozzle 2. The connecting mechanism includes a first connecting ring 3 and a second connecting ring 4, which are fixedly connected to the funnel cup 1 and the funnel nozzle 2, respectively. Each connecting ring has four openings (first and second). A connecting plate 5 is rotatably connected to each opening (first). The connecting plate 5 is located within each opening (second). A fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5. A limit block 7 is slidably connected within the fixing frame 6. The limit block 7 is connected to the fixing frame. A spring 8 is provided between 6. Four limiting grooves are opened on the connecting ring 4. The limiting block 7 passes through the connecting plate 5 and extends into one of the limiting grooves. An auxiliary block 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 7. A pull ring 10 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary block 9. The connecting plate 5 can lock the connecting ring 4. The limiting block 7 and the limiting groove are used to limit the movement and prevent the connecting plate 5 from rotating. This allows for quick installation and disassembly of the funnel cup 1 and the funnel nozzle 2. The pull ring 10 and the auxiliary block 9 are used to facilitate the movement of the limiting block 7.

[0031] A stabilizing shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 6, and a stabilizing groove is provided on the limiting block 7. The stabilizing shaft 11 is slidably connected in the stabilizing groove, and the spring 8 is sleeved on the stabilizing shaft 11 to improve the stability of the spring 8 and the limiting block 7.

[0032] A docking groove 12 is provided on the first connecting ring 3, and a docking ring 13 is fixedly connected to the second connecting ring 4. The docking ring 13 is adapted to the docking groove 12 for docking, and at the same time, it prevents the liquid being poured from leaking out between the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4.

[0033] Four positioning rods 14 are fixedly connected to the connecting ring 3, and four positioning holes 15 are opened on the connecting ring 4. The positioning rods 14 are located in the positioning holes 15 and are used to position and align the connecting ring 3 and the connecting ring 4.

[0034] Both the funnel cup 1 and the funnel spout 2 are fixedly connected to two handles 16, which are used to facilitate people to move the funnel cup 1 or the funnel spout 2.

[0035] The connecting ring 2 4 has four guide holes 17, which are connected to the positioning holes 15 to facilitate the positioning rod 14 to enter the positioning hole 15 and make it easier for people to connect.

[0036] In summary, the working principle and process of this reusable split-type titanium alloy casting funnel are as follows: First, place the reusable split-type titanium alloy casting funnel at the desired location. Then, when the funnel nozzle 2 needs to be replaced, simply use the pull ring 10 to pull the auxiliary block 9, causing the auxiliary block 9 to move the limiting block 7 downwards. At this time, the spring 8 will be compressed, and the limiting block 7 will move out of the limiting groove. Then, rotate the connecting plate 5 so that it no longer jams the connecting ring 4. By opening multiple connecting plates 5 in this way, the connecting ring 4 and the funnel nozzle 2 can be removed for replacement. This device is simple and quick to operate, avoiding the need to rotate, install, and disassemble multiple bolts, saving time and improving practicality.

[0037] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
