Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of parts casting processing, specifically to a metal casting drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Metal castings are obtained by pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. Metal castings offer several advantages: they typically achieve higher dimensional accuracy and lower surface roughness; their mechanical properties are superior to sand castings—for the same alloy, tensile strength can be increased by an average of approximately 25%, yield strength by an average of approximately 20%, and corrosion resistance and hardness are also significantly improved; and they require little or no sand, generally saving 80-100% of molding materials.
[0003] Common castings include irregular plate-shaped parts, machine block blanks, crankshaft blanks, cylinder blocks, etc. After cooling, they need to be cleaned, dried, and coated with anti-rust oil or maintenance oil. Chinese patent application CN202222023742.9, "A Metal Workpiece Drying Box", discloses a metal workpiece drying box. Common drying boxes on the market are similar to the drying box body described in the above patent. Several air-permeable support plates or support nets are set in the drying cavity at vertical intervals. The castings are then placed on the support nets, which can dry all the castings placed in the cavity at the same time. However, there are still the following shortcomings: water on the castings above will drip down onto the castings below, affecting the drying time of the castings below, thus affecting the overall drying time. Therefore, it is necessary to design a metal casting drying device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the issue in the prior art where water from the upper casting drips onto the lower casting, increasing drying time.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a metal casting drying device, comprising: a drying chamber body and several sets of water guiding units arranged vertically on the inner wall of the drying chamber body, wherein an air inlet is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the drying chamber body and an air outlet is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the drying chamber body.
[0006] Each water guiding unit includes a water guiding box mounted on the inner wall of the drying oven body, with its bottom inclined and its open top horizontal. The open top of each water guiding box has a flange that protrudes inward. A parts frame can be placed on the flange at the top of each water guiding box. The inclined bottom of each water guiding box has at least one vent, and the edge of the vent protrudes upward to form a water blocking part. A water-blocking component is mounted on the bottom of the water guiding box, located directly above the corresponding vent and spaced apart from the vent.

Several of the protrusions 18 can move to the inside of the flange 5 so that the edge strip 17 and the flange 5 fit together.
[0040] When the part frame 6 is placed elsewhere, the protrusion 18 can act as a support foot; when the part frame 6 is placed on the flange 5, the protrusion 18 is located inside the flange 5, which can prevent the part frame 6 from slipping off the water guide box 4 and improve safety.
[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0042] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction.
