Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a rotary sand feeder for a molding machine, belonging to the technical field of rotary sand feeders. Background Technology
[0002] A molding machine is a foundry device used to manufacture sand molds. Its main function is sand filling; it loads loose molding sand into a sand box and compacts the sand using various methods such as vibration, compaction, shock pressing, and injection pressing. This ensures the sand mold has the necessary strength for handling and pouring. Finally, different mechanisms are used to remove the pattern from the compacted sand mold.
[0003] Chinese patent CN218809158U proposes a rotary sand feeder for molding machines. Although the design achieves rotary sand feeding and improves sand feeding efficiency through the arrangement and coordination of a storage tank, a discharge pipe, and a rotating sand discharge machine, the storage tank is positioned too high, making it inconvenient to add sand into the tank. Furthermore, the sand tends to accumulate and bridge inside the tank, affecting its normal falling. Therefore, the design has low practicality. There is an urgent need for a rotary sand feeder for molding machines to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary sand feeder for molding machines, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. This utility model has a reasonable structure, which uses a feeding cylinder and an auger blade to feed the storage tank, and uses a stirring rod to agitate the sand inside the storage tank, ensuring the normal flow and discharge of the sand. It is highly practical.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a rotary sand feeder for a molding machine, comprising a storage bin, a feeding cylinder, a first drive motor, a control panel, a feed inlet, a rotating shaft, a stirring rod, a second drive motor, and a rotary sand discharger. The feeding cylinder is located on the left side of the storage bin, the first drive motor is installed on the top of the feeding cylinder, the control panel is installed on the outer side of the feeding cylinder, the feed inlet is located on the outer side of the feeding cylinder, the rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder, the stirring rod is rotatably installed inside the storage bin, the second drive motor is installed on the outer side of the storage bin, and the rotary sand discharger is located below the storage bin.
[0006] Furthermore, a screen is provided inside the feed inlet, a bearing connecting seat is embedded inside the feeding cylinder, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder through the bearing connecting seat, an auger blade is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft, and the output end of the first drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, a first fixing frame is installed on the upper end face of the feeding cylinder, and the first drive motor is fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder through the first fixing frame. The input end of the first drive motor is electrically connected to the control panel through a wire.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing frame is welded to the outer side of the feeding cylinder, and the feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage barrel through the fixing frame. A discharge port is provided on the outer side of the feeding cylinder, and the discharge port corresponds to the opening of the storage barrel.
[0009] Furthermore, a second fixing frame is welded to the outer side of the storage hopper, and the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage hopper through the second fixing frame. The input end of the second drive motor is electrically connected to the control panel through a wire.
[0010] Furthermore, a motor shaft is mounted on the output end of the second drive motor, a sealing connector is embedded inside the storage hopper, the motor shaft is rotatably connected to the sealing connector, and the motor shaft is fixedly connected to the stirring rod.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a rotary sand feeder for a molding machine. Because it incorporates a second drive motor, a stirring rod, a feeding cylinder, and a first drive motor, the sand inside the storage bin falls into the rotary sand discharger under gravity, thus replenishing the sand in real time. The second drive motor drives the stirring rod to rotate via its motor shaft, continuously agitating the sand inside the storage bin. The rotation of the stirring rod breaks up the bridging caused by sand accumulation and blockage inside the storage bin, ensuring the normal falling of the sand. When the sand inside the storage bin is insufficient, the user can add sand into the feeding cylinder through the inlet. Simultaneously, the first drive motor starts and drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the auger blades to rotate, lifting the sand inside the feeding cylinder and ultimately allowing it to fall into the storage bin through the outlet, thus completing the lifting and replenishment process.

The feeding cylinder 2 is located on the left side of the storage tank 1, the first drive motor 3 is installed on the top of the feeding cylinder 2, the control panel 4 is installed on the outer side of the feeding cylinder 2, the feed inlet 5 is located on the outer side of the feeding cylinder 2, the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder 2, the stirring rod 7 is rotatably installed inside the storage tank 1, the second drive motor 8 is installed on the outer side of the storage tank 1, and the rotary sand discharger 9 is located below the storage tank 1. This design solves the problems of inconvenient feeding and easy accumulation and bridging inside the original rotary sand feeder for molding machines.
[0020] As the first embodiment of this utility model: a screen 51 is provided inside the feed inlet 5 to prevent large pebbles from entering the feed cylinder 2 through the feed inlet 5. A bearing connecting seat 62 is embedded inside the feed cylinder 2, and the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed cylinder 2 through the bearing connecting seat 62. The bearing connecting seat 62 can fix the position of the lower end of the rotating shaft 6, thereby making the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 more stable. An auger blade 61 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 6 can drive the auger blade 61 to rotate, thereby transporting the sand inside the feed cylinder 2 upward. The output end of the first drive motor 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 6, and the first drive motor 3 can drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. A first fixing frame 31 is installed on the upper end face of the feed cylinder 2, and the first drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the feed cylinder 2 through the first fixing frame 31. The first fixing frame 31 can fix the position of the first drive motor 3. The input end of the first drive motor 3 is electrically connected to the control panel 4 through a wire. The control panel 4 can control the opening and closing of the first drive motor 3. The feed cylinder 2 is closed. A fixing frame 21 is welded to the outer side of the feed cylinder 2. The feed cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage tank 1 through the fixing frame 21. A discharge port 22 is provided on the outer side of the feed cylinder 2. The discharge port 22 corresponds to the opening of the storage tank 1. The discharge port 22 can add sand into the storage tank 1. A second fixing frame 82 is welded to the outer side of the storage tank 1. The second drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage tank 1 through the second fixing frame 82.
