Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal melt filtration technology, and in particular relates to a three-layer grooved filter cap for casting. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, molten metal casting filtration technologies generally include wire mesh filtration and ceramic filter sheet filtration. Among these, wire mesh filtration is widely used in molten metal casting due to its simple production process and low cost. In casting production, the molten metal, after reaching high temperatures, is stored in the holding furnace of the die-casting machine. The molten metal is then poured into the mold cavity through the mold gate to complete the casting process. During the casting process, some metal residues and other impurities may follow the molten metal into the mold cavity, affecting the quality of the finished product. Therefore, a filter screen needs to be placed at the gate to filter impurities and prevent them from entering the mold cavity with the molten metal. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a three-layer grooved filter cap for casting, including a primary filter cap 1. A groove 1-1 extends downwards from the center of the primary filter cap 1. A filter tube 2 is installed at the bottom of the primary filter cap 1, with its top connected to the groove 1-1. A secondary filter cap 3 is installed at the bottom of the filter tube 2. The groove 1-1, filter tube 2, and secondary filter cap 3 in the primary filter cap 1 are arranged concentrically. During casting, molten metal enters the filter tube 2 through the groove 1-1 on the primary filter cap 1. A portion of the molten metal is filtered out from the side of the filter tube 2, and another portion is filtered out from the secondary filter cap 3. The groove 1-1 of the primary filter cap 1 intercepts most of the metal residue and other impurities. A small portion, not intercepted by the groove 1-1, is intercepted by the filter tube 2 and the secondary filter cap 3, falling into the gap between the filter tube 2 and the secondary filter cap 3. This does not affect the subsequent diversion and filtration of molten metal through the secondary filter cap 3. The primary interception by groove 1-1 and the secondary interception by filter tube 2 and secondary filter cap 3 completely intercept metal residues and other impurities in the molten metal, ensuring the casting quality of the finished product. The flow diversion by filter tube 2 and secondary filter cap 3 allows the molten metal to flow evenly and smoothly into the mold cavity, avoiding air entrapment and ensuring casting safety and finished product quality. Although the filter area of ​​filter tube 2 is larger than that of secondary filter cap 3, the concentric arrangement of groove 1-1 in primary filter cap 1, filter tube 2, and secondary filter cap 3 ensures that secondary filter cap 3 can provide turbulence during casting.

[0024] The design was further optimized so that the primary filter cap 1, the groove 1-1, and the guide wall 1-2 are integrally formed, arranged from top to bottom as follows: primary filter cap 1, guide wall 1-2, and groove 1-1. The primary filter cap 1, groove 1-1, and guide wall 1-2 are formed by pressing them together in one step using a molding machine. This allows them to withstand a large flow rate of molten liquid metal without affecting the filtration effect.

[0025] Further optimization of the design: Filter tube 2 includes an upper port 2-1 and a lower port 2-2. The guide wall 1-2 and groove 1-1 are located within the upper port 2-1, with the edge of the upper port 2-1 located below the primary filter cap 1 and connected to the top edge of the guide wall 1-2. The secondary filter cap 3 is located within the lower port 2-2, with its bottom edge connected to the edge of the lower port 2-2. The diameter of the groove 1-1 is larger than the diameter of the primary filter cap 1's inlet, causing the guide wall 1-2 to be tilted. There is a certain gap between the outer side of the guide wall 1-2 and the inner wall of the filter tube 2. In the later stages of casting, excessive accumulation of metal residues and other impurities in the groove 1-1 can lead to a decrease in the filtration performance of the groove 1-1. At this point, some of the molten metal will flow into the filter tube 2 through the guide wall 1-2, solving the problem of insufficient filtration capacity in the groove 1-1.

[0026] Further optimization of the design: the secondary filter cap 3 is inverted concave in shape, with its inner diameter decreasing from bottom to top, and its top is arc-shaped. The secondary filter cap 3 resembles the upper half of an ellipse whose vertical direction is longer than its horizontal direction. Small amounts of metal residue and other impurities will remain in the angle formed by the inner side of the secondary filter cap 3 and the filter tube 2, without affecting the filtration flow rate and filtration effect of the secondary filter cap 3.

[0027] The design was further optimized so that the diameter of the upper port 2-1 is larger than that of the lower port 2-2. The filter tube 2 is inverted conical in shape. In the later stages of casting, when the filtration capacity of the secondary filter cap 3 at the bottom is insufficient, more molten liquid metal will be filtered out through the side wall of the filter tube 2, ensuring filtration efficiency.

[0028] In a further optimized design, the flow guide wall 1-2 and groove 1-1 of the primary filter cap 1, the upper port 2-1 and lower port 2-2 of the filter tube 2, and the secondary filter cap 3 are all located inside the gate. The portion of the primary filter cap 1 above the upper port 2-1 is located outside the gate. The end of the upper port 2-1 is flush with the outer edge of the gate, ensuring that all molten metal entering the gate is filtered. The portion of the primary filter cap 1 above the upper port 2-1 is fixed to the perimeter of the gate by fasteners, providing support for the flow guide wall 1-2, groove 1-1, filter tube 2, and secondary filter cap 3 of the primary filter cap 1.

[0029] To further optimize the design, the primary filter cap 1, filter tube 2, and secondary filter cap 3 are connected and secured using staples and / or high-temperature resistant thread stitching. Considering the quality requirements and casting volume of the finished product, staples and / or high-temperature resistant thread stitching are preferable for securing the connection. When the quality requirements of the cast product are not high and the casting volume is small, staples are preferred to reduce material costs and filter screen processing costs. When the quality requirements of the cast product are high and the casting volume is large, high-temperature resistant thread stitching is preferred to ensure casting stability and finished product quality.

[0030] The design is further optimized so that the primary filter cap 1, filter tube 2, and secondary filter cap 3 are all made of glass fiber. The glass fiber has zero metal content, ensuring casting quality. It can also withstand temperatures from 300℃ to 1500℃, and the specific type of glass fiber can be selected according to specific casting requirements. The glass fiber material used in this application is quartz glass fiber.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
