[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal casting technology, and in particular to an automatic sand-adding device for metal casting. Background Technology

[0002] Sand casting is a metal casting process that uses sand molds as the mold material. During the casting process, sand is used as the mold material, and it is compacted and solidified to form a mold cavity. Molten metal is then poured in, and after the metal cools and solidifies, the casting is removed. During the casting process, sand needs to be added.

[0003] A search revealed that CN220837802U discloses an automated sand-adding device for metal casting, which includes a box. Although the device can avoid local accumulation during use, it agitates the agglomerated raw materials, resulting in poor dispersion of the raw materials and affecting the feeding efficiency. Therefore, an automatic sand-adding device for metal casting is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where stirring agglomerated raw materials results in poor dispersion and reduced material feeding efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic sand feeding device for metal casting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic sand-adding device for metal casting includes a fixed bucket, a feeding hopper fixedly connected to the top of the fixed bucket, the bottom of the feeding hopper being conical, a support fixedly connected to the top of the feeding hopper, a drive motor fixedly connected to the top of the support, an extrusion cylinder fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor, the bottom of the extrusion cylinder being conical, and the gap between the feeding hopper and the extrusion cylinder gradually decreasing from top to bottom.

[0007] The inner wall of the fixed barrel is fixedly connected with multiple telescopic rods, and a first filter screen is fixedly connected between the top of the telescopic rods. A spring is fixedly connected between the first filter screen and the bottom of the telescopic rod.

[0008] A model box is inserted into the bottom of the fixed bucket.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion cylinder, a pressure sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft, a plurality of right-angled triangular pressure blocks are provided at the bottom of the pressure sleeve, a support sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the first filter screen, and a plurality of pressure grooves that cooperate with the pressure blocks are provided on the surface of the support sleeve.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a conical partition is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the fixed bucket, and a connecting discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition, with a solenoid valve installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe.

[0011] As a further improvement of this invention, a vibration motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed bucket.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an installation box is fixedly connected to one inner wall of the fixed barrel, a second filter screen is inserted into one side of the installation box, the second filter screen passes through the fixed barrel, and a fan is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the fixed barrel, with the exhaust end of the fan connected to the installation box through a pipe.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an L-shaped connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first filter screen, the bottom of the connecting rod is in contact with the bottom of the second filter screen, and a clearance opening is provided on one side of the mounting box for the connecting rod to move.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the extrusion cylinder and the inner wall of the feed hopper are both fixedly connected with extrusion plates.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a material inlet is provided on one side of the fixed barrel, and a baffle is fixed to one side of the material inlet by bolts.

[0016] In this application, during use, the drive motor and fan are started, and then the raw material is fed into the feed hopper. The drive motor drives the extrusion cylinder to rotate. The gap between the feed hopper and the extrusion cylinder is set to gradually decrease from top to bottom. Thus, the extrusion cylinder and the feed hopper cooperate to extrude the lumpy raw material, thereby dispersing it. Under the action of the extrusion plate, the dispersion effect of the raw material is improved. Subsequently, the raw material falls onto the first filter screen for filtration. While the extrusion cylinder rotates, it drives the pressure sleeve to rotate through the connecting shaft. The pressure sleeve uses triangular pressure blocks to press the support sleeve downward, thereby causing the first filter screen to move downward. Then, under the action of the spring... The pressing block enters the pressing groove, which in turn causes the first filter screen to move, increasing the feeding speed of the raw material and preventing the first filter screen from clogging. After the raw material is filtered, the feeding is controlled by the solenoid valve, allowing the raw material to enter the mold box. Then, the vibration motor is started, which makes the raw material compacted for easy use. When the blower starts, it draws out the dust raised in the fixed bucket. At the same time, the dust is filtered by the second filter screen. During the up and down movement of the first filter screen, the connecting rod is also moved. When the connecting rod comes into contact with the second filter screen, it causes the second filter screen to vibrate, which causes the dust to fall off, reducing the number of times the second filter screen needs to be cleaned manually.

[0017] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the automatic sand feeding device for metal casting uses the extrusion cylinder and the feeding hopper in cooperation. Since the gap between the feeding hopper and the extrusion cylinder is set to gradually decrease from top to bottom, the extrusion cylinder and the feeding hopper can extrude the blocky raw materials, thereby dispersing them. Under the action of the extrusion plate, the dispersion effect of the raw materials is improved.

[0018] In this utility model, the automatic sand feeding device for metal casting has a movable first filter screen, which allows the material to be fed at a faster speed and prevents the first filter screen from clogging.

[0019] In this invention, the extrusion cylinder and the feed hopper work together to extrude lumpy raw materials, thereby dispersing them. The extrusion plate enhances the dispersion of the raw materials. The movable first filter screen increases the feeding speed of the raw materials and prevents clogging. Attached Figure Description

Thus, when the extrusion cylinder 4 and the feed hopper 2 cooperate, they can extrude lumpy raw materials, thereby dispersing them and improving the dispersion effect of the raw materials.

[0026] Multiple telescopic rods 22 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed barrel 1. The telescopic rods 22 are composed of sleeves and insert rods connected together, which is an existing structure. A first filter screen 12 is fixedly connected between the top of the telescopic rods 22. The first filter screen 12 is used to filter large particulate impurities in the raw material. A spring 18 is fixedly connected between the first filter screen 12 and the bottom of the telescopic rods 22. By utilizing the movement of the first filter screen 12, the feeding speed of the raw material can be increased and the first filter screen 12 can be prevented from clogging.

[0027] A model box 16 is inserted into the bottom of the fixed bucket 1.

[0028] This application can be used in the field of metal casting, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0029] Example 2, Reference Figures 1-3 Based on Example 1, an improved automatic sand-adding device for metal casting is applied to the field of metal casting. The bottom of the extrusion cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 7, and the bottom of the connecting shaft 7 is fixedly connected to a pressure sleeve 8.

The surface of the first filter screen 12 is fixedly connected to a support sleeve 9, and the surface of the support sleeve 9 is provided with multiple pressure grooves 11 that cooperate with the pressure blocks 10. When the extrusion cylinder 4 rotates, the pressure sleeve 8 is driven to rotate through the connecting shaft 7. The pressure sleeve 8 uses the triangular pressure blocks 10 to press the support sleeve 9 downward, thereby causing the first filter screen 12 to move downward. Then, it is reset under the action of the spring 18, so that the first filter screen 12 can move.

[0030] In this application, a conical partition 13 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the fixed barrel 1, and a connecting discharge pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition 13.

During the up-and-down movement of the first filter screen 12, the connecting rod 21 is also moved. When the connecting rod 21 contacts the second filter screen 19, the second filter screen 19 vibrates, causing the dust to fall off and reducing the number of times the second filter screen 19 needs to be manually cleaned.

[0034] In particular, the outer wall of the extrusion cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 2 are both fixedly connected with extrusion plates, which improve the dispersion effect of the raw materials under the action of the extrusion plates.

[0035] It should be noted that a material outlet is provided on one side of the fixed bucket 1, and a baffle is fixed to one side of the material outlet by bolts. Removing the baffle makes it easy for people to remove impurities.
