Detailed Implementation

[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a casting device for the flat casting process of vermicular graphite cast iron cylinder heads, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a bottom template 1, two sets of template frames 3, two sets of horizontal templates 4, two sets of vertical templates 6, and two sets of mounting frames 9.

[0024] The bottom template 1 is equipped with a sand core placement rack 2 for placing sand cores. The specific structure of the sand core placement rack 2 is determined according to the shape of the sand core, and its purpose is to support and position the shape of the sand core. The sand core placement rack 2 can also be disassembled and installed from the bottom template 1 by means of bolt connection.

[0025] Two sets of template frames 3 are arranged horizontally opposite each other above the bottom template 1. The side of the bottom template 1 is provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the two sets of template frames 3. Both sets of template frames 3 are provided with guide holes 5 for the horizontal template 4 to pass through. The two sets of longitudinal templates 6 are detachably assembled on the two sets of mounting frames 9.

[0026] Cylinder 7 and cylinder 8 are fixed by carriers respectively. The transverse template 4 is driven laterally by cylinder 7, and the two sets of mounting brackets 9 are driven longitudinally by cylinder 8.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the sand core placement frame 2 is rectangular in shape. Two sets of horizontal templates 4 and two sets of vertical templates 6 are used to support the sand core placement frame 2 around its perimeter, forming the outer model of the cylinder head.

[0028] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the mounting bracket 9 has a vertically formed dovetail groove 10, and the back of the longitudinal template 6 is provided with a dovetail block 11 that slides and adapts to the dovetail groove 10. When casting cylinder heads of different models, only the appropriate length of the longitudinal template 6 needs to be selected according to the length of the cylinder head of different specifications. There is no need to re-customize the entire casting equipment, which saves the manufacturing and layout of redundant casting equipment and has strong versatility.

[0029] To prevent vertical displacement of the dovetail block 11, limiting plates 12 are rotatably connected to both sides of the dovetail groove 10 on the mounting bracket 9. After the limiting plates 12 are rotated, they can cover the dovetail block 11 or completely detach from the dovetail groove 10. When the dovetail block 11 is fully inserted into the dovetail groove 10, the top of the dovetail block 11 is limited by rotating the limiting plates 12 to prevent vertical displacement.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate the replacement of the longitudinal template 6, a spring 13 is provided in the dovetail groove 10 below the dovetail block 11. When the dovetail block 11 is installed, it will press the spring 13 downward. When the dovetail block 11 is disassembled, after the limiting plate 12 is disengaged, the dovetail block 11 will spring upward under the action of the spring 13, making it easy to remove the dovetail block 11 from the dovetail groove 10.

[0031] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a lead screw 14, a drive motor 16, and a guide rod 17. The two ends of the lead screw 14 are rotatably mounted on one side of the bottom template 1 via bearing seats and are arranged laterally. The guide rod 17 is laterally mounted on the other side of the bottom template 1. Both sets of template frames 3 are equipped with guide sleeves 18 that are slidably fitted onto the guide rod 17. The drive motor 16 is mounted on the bottom template 1 and is used to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate. The two threaded sections on both sides of the lead screw 14 rotate in opposite directions, and each threaded section is threaded with a nut 15. The two nuts 15 are respectively connected to the two sets of template frames 3. When the lead screw 14 rotates, because its two threaded sections rotate in opposite directions, the two sets of template frames 3 can move in opposite or opposite directions, thereby achieving symmetrical width adjustment based on the centerline of the bottom template 1.

[0032] Both template frames 3 are equipped with filling grooves 19 for adding liquid vermicular graphite cast iron. The two ends of the filling grooves 19 are rotatably mounted on the template frames 3 via bearing seats. The template frames 3 are equipped with a rotary motor 20 for driving the filling grooves 19 to rotate.

[0033] The filling tank 19 has a filling port 21 on the side facing the sand core placement frame 2. The filling port 21 is located near the top surface of the filling tank 19.

[0034] When it is necessary to inject high-temperature liquid vermicular graphite cast iron, first inject the high-temperature liquid vermicular graphite cast iron into two injection tanks 19, and then drive the two injection tanks 19 to rotate synchronously in the direction of the sand core placement frame 2 through the rotating motors 20 on both sides. The synchronous injection on both sides can make the injection volume on both sides of the mold cavity uniform, and the impact force on the sand core on both sides can also cancel each other out, resulting in a better molding effect of the cylinder head.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
