DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings and examples.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the utility model embodiment, a sand core lifting appliance is provided for taking out high-temperature sand cores from a mold and carrying them to a designated position during a casting process.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sand core lifting appliance comprises a first clamping arm 1, a second clamping arm 2 and a tension spring 3, wherein the first clamping arm 1 is hinged to the second clamping arm 2, one end of the first clamping arm 1 and one end of the second clamping arm 2 are respectively provided with clamping blocks 4 and the two clamping blocks 4 are oppositely arranged, one end of the tension spring 3 in the extension direction is matched with the first clamping arm 1 and the other end is matched with the second clamping arm 2 and drives the two clamping blocks 4 to approach each other, the first clamping arm 1 is further provided with a first operating rod 11 extending away from the clamping blocks 4, the second clamping arm 2 is provided with a second operating rod 21 extending away from the clamping blocks 4 and arranged side by side with the first operating rod 11, when one end of the first operating rod 11 away from the first clamping arm 1 and one end of the second operating rod 21 away from the second clamping arm 2 approach each other, the two clamping blocks 4 move away from each other, by operating the first operating rod 11 and the second operating rod 21, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can be relatively rotated to drive the two clamping blocks 4 to move away from each other, at this time, the sand core lifting appliance is opened, and after releasing at least one of the first operating rod 11 and the second operating rod 21, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 will be relatively rotated under the drive of the tension spring 3 to drive the two clamping blocks 4 to approach each other, at this time, the sand core lifting appliance is clamped.

[0023] Specifically, the operation steps for handling sand cores using the sand core lifting tool provided in this embodiment are as follows: The operator operates the first operating rod 11 and the second operating rod 21 respectively, so that the end of the first operating rod 11 away from the first clamping arm 1 and the end of the second operating rod 21 away from the second clamping arm 2 move closer to each other. The first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 rotate relative to each other, causing the two clamping blocks 4 to move away from each other. At this time, the sand core lifting tool opens and moves to place the ribs and other structures on the sand core between the two clamping blocks 4, and the sand core lifting tool opens... When the sand core is inserted, the tension spring 3 is further stretched. After the sand core is placed between the two clamping blocks 4, the operator releases at least one of the first operating lever 11 and the second operating lever 21. The tension spring 3 returns to its original length and drives the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 to rotate relative to each other, causing the two clamping blocks 4 to move closer to each other until they abut against both sides of the sand core. The elastic force provided by the tension spring 3 clamps the sand core between the two clamping blocks 4, thus fixing the sand core lifting device onto the sand core. At this time, the sand core lifting device can be lifted to transport the sand core along with the sand core to the designated location. When using the sand core lifting device provided in this embodiment, the operator can control the opening or clamping of the sand core lifting device by operating the first operating lever 11 and the second operating lever 21. During the operation, a certain distance can be maintained from the sand core, avoiding close contact between the operator and the sand core, thereby ensuring the operator's personal safety and reducing the discomfort caused by the heat emitted by the sand core. At the same time, the sand core lifting device is simple and convenient to operate.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping arm 1 has a slot 12 for the second clamping arm 2 to pass through, and a connecting pin 13 is provided in the slot 12. The second clamping arm 2 has a connecting hole that mates with the connecting pin 13. When assembling the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, the second clamping arm 2 is first inserted into the slot 12, and then the connecting pin 13 is inserted into the slot 12 and then into the connecting hole, so that the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can be hinged together, which facilitates the assembly of the sand core lifting tool.

[0025] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2The first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are respectively provided with a mounting groove 14 and a mounting hole communicating with the mounting groove 14. The clamping block 4 is provided with a connecting block 41 that cooperates with the mounting groove 14, and the connecting block 41 is provided with a through hole aligned with the mounting hole. The clamping block 4 is positioned by the cooperation of the connecting block 41 with the mounting groove 14, and after the connecting block 41 is inserted into the mounting groove 14, the through hole is aligned with the mounting hole. The connecting block 41 can be locked in the mounting groove 14 using threaded fasteners such as matching bolts and nuts, ensuring a reliable connection between the clamping block 4 and the first clamping arm 1 or the second clamping arm 2. Furthermore, the clamping block 4 is detachably connected to the first clamping arm 1 or the second clamping arm 2, so as to replace the appropriate clamping block 4 according to the shape of the sand core, thereby improving the versatility of the sand core lifting tool.

[0026] In detail, each of the clamping blocks 4 is provided with a toothed portion 42, which is located on the side of the two clamping blocks 4 that are close to each other. When the clamping blocks 4 clamp the sand core, the toothed portion 42 is in direct contact with the surface of the sand core to increase the friction between the clamping blocks 4 and the sand core and prevent the sand core from falling off the sand core lifting device during transportation.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 are respectively provided with connecting posts 15, and the connecting posts 15 are provided with through holes 16. The tension spring 3 is provided with hooks 31 at opposite ends in the extension direction, and the hooks 31 are respectively engaged with the through holes 16. By providing the connecting posts 15 on the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 for the installation of the tension spring 3, and by having the hooks 31 at both ends of the tension spring 3 respectively engage with the through holes 16 on the connecting posts 15, the connection between the tension spring 3 and the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 is stable, preventing the tension spring 3 from detaching from the first clamping arm 1 or the second clamping arm 2 when the sand core lifting tool is opened or clamped, thus avoiding malfunction of the sand core lifting tool.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sand core lifting device also includes a lifting ring 5. A connecting ring 17 is provided at the end of the first clamping arm 1 away from the clamping block 4 and at the end of the second clamping arm 2 away from the clamping block 4, respectively. A chain 51 is provided between the lifting ring 5 and the connecting ring 17. The connecting ring 17 is provided at both ends of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, and the chain 51 connects the lifting ring 5 and the connecting ring 17. The lifting ring 5 is used to cooperate with the hook 31 of a gantry crane or other lifting equipment to suspend the sand core lifting device on the lifting equipment, facilitating the handling of the sand core clamped by the sand core lifting device using the lifting equipment.

[0029] Specifically, handles 6 are respectively fitted onto the end of the first operating lever 11 away from the first clamping arm 1 and the end of the second operating lever 21 away from the second clamping arm 2. The outer peripheral wall of the handle 6 is provided with anti-slip texture 61. The handles 6 are used to wrap around the ends of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 to enhance the comfort of the first operating lever 11 and the second operating lever 21, making it easier for the operator to grip them. The anti-slip texture 61 on the handle 6 increases the friction between the operator's hand and the first operating lever 11 and the second operating lever 21, preventing the operator from slipping when operating the sand core lifting tool.

[0030] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first clamping arm 1 is provided with a first sleeve 7 and a rotatable locking tongue 71 on the first sleeve 7. The second clamping arm 2 is provided with a second sleeve 8 and a rotatable locking sleeve 81 on the second sleeve 8. The locking sleeve 81 is provided with a receiving groove 82 for accommodating the locking tongue 71 and an elongated hole 83 communicating with the receiving groove 82. The locking tongue 71 is provided with a threaded rod 72 and a locking knob 73 that cooperates with the threaded rod 72. The threaded rod 72 passes through the elongated hole 83 and the locking knob 73 abuts against the locking sleeve 81. When the operator opens or clamps the sand core lifting device, the locking tongue 71 rotates relative to the first sleeve 7 and the locking sleeve 81 rotates relative to the second sleeve 8 as the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 move. Simultaneously, the locking tongue 71 slides within the locking sleeve 81, causing the threaded rod 72 to move within the elongated hole 83. After the sand core lifting device clamps the sand core, rotating the locking knob 73 moves it axially along the threaded rod 72 until the locking knob 73 abuts against the locking sleeve 81, thus allowing the sand core to pass through the locking mechanism. The friction between the locking knob 73 and the locking sleeve 81 locks the relative positions of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, thereby locking the sand core lifting tool and keeping it in the position where the sand core is clamped, preventing the sand core lifting tool from loosening during transportation. When the sand core is transported to a designated position and the sand core lifting tool needs to be separated from the sand core, the locking knob 73 is rotated to move the locking knob 73 axially along the threaded rod 72 and away from the locking sleeve 81. At this time, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can rotate relative to each other, thereby unlocking the sand core lifting tool. The operation is simple.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking knob 73 is provided with an actuating piece 74 on its edge, which extends away from the threaded rod 72. The operator can easily rotate the locking knob 73 by operating the actuating piece 74 on its edge, causing the locking knob 73 to move on the threaded rod 72 and closer to or further away from the locking sleeve 81, thereby facilitating the locking or unlocking of the sand core lifting tool.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
