Detailed Implementation

[0021] This utility model provides a slag removal rack for die-cast parts. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a slag removal rack for die castings. The platform frame 11 is a rectangular frame. One of the side bars 110 of the platform frame 11 is provided with the impact bar 2, and the other side bars 110 are provided with the surrounding plate 3.

[0023] In practical work, see Figure 5 As shown, since a disc B10 forms on the main slag bag B1 of the die casting B, which is easy to grasp, the gripping robot A removes it from the die casting machine by grasping the disc B10. Then, according to the set program, the gripping robot A transports it to the front of the slag bag removal frame, and then changes the position of the die casting B so that the first exhaust slag bag B2, the second exhaust slag bag B3, and the small exhaust slag bag B4 on the die casting B collide with the impact bar 2 one by one. During the collision process, most of the slag bags on the die casting B will separate from the main body B0 of the component. Under the action of gravity, the separated slag bags fall into the discharge hopper 14 through the opening in the middle of the platform frame 11. The gripping robot A then places the die casting B with the main slag bag B1 on the chain conveyor for outward transportation, thus achieving the purpose of removing most of the slag bags before placing the die casting B on the chain conveyor.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a slag removal rack for die castings with a simple structure that is easy to manufacture and install. By cooperating with the grabbing robot A through the impact rod 2, most of the slag bag is removed before the die casting B is placed on the chain conveyor, which reduces the amount of manual slag bag removal work in the subsequent process and greatly improves production efficiency.

[0025] During the process of removing the slag bag by impacting the die-cast part B with the impact rod 2, the retaining plate 3 prevents the separated slag bag from accidentally splashing into the surrounding area, reducing the risk of injury to operators and surrounding equipment and improving the safety of the production process. Furthermore, the retaining plate 3 is fixed to the platform frame 11 by the side frame 5, which provides a stable fixation method for the retaining plate 3, ensuring that it will not easily loosen or shift during operation. This robust connection allows the retaining plate 3 to better fulfill its safety protection and positioning assistance functions, improving the overall performance of the slag bag removal frame.

[0026] In fact, the side frame 5 not only serves to fix the surrounding plate 3, but also enhances the structural strength of the platform frame 11. In one embodiment, the bottom end of the impact rod 2 is welded to the side rod 110 of the platform frame 11. This welding connection ensures a firm connection between the impact rod 2 and the side rod 110 of the platform frame 11. During the impact of the die-cast part B on the impact rod 2, the impact rod 2 will not easily loosen or fall off, ensuring the stability and reliability of the slag removal operation. The lower part of the impact rod 2 is connected to the side frame 5 via a horizontal tie rod 9. The horizontal tie rod 9 can transfer a portion of the impact force from the impact rod 2 to the side frame 5, thereby dispersing the impact force borne by the impact rod 2, reducing the risk of deformation of the impact rod 2, and extending the service life of the impact rod 2.

[0027] In another embodiment, the bottom end of the impact rod 2 is provided with an external thread 21. A fixing seat 6 is provided on the side rod 110 where the impact rod 2 is to be installed on the platform frame 11. The side rod 110 is easy to position, and a positioning groove 111 is provided on the side rod 110. The fixing seat 6 is embedded in the positioning groove 111 and welded in place. The fixing seat 6 is provided with a first threaded hole 61 that is threaded to the bottom end of the impact rod 2. The threaded connection provides good connection strength, ensuring that the impact rod 2 will not loosen or fall off during operation. Even in the event of a strong impact between the die-cast part B and the impact rod 2, the stability of the impact rod 2 is guaranteed, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the slag removal bag. Furthermore, it makes the installation and removal of the impact rod 2 very convenient. When it is necessary to replace or repair the impact rod 2, the operator can quickly unscrew the impact rod 2 from the fixing seat 6, improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, a triangular reinforcing block 7 is fitted onto the lower part of the impact rod 2. The fixing seat 6 has second threaded holes 62 on both sides of the first threaded hole 61. The side of the triangular reinforcing block 7 has countersunk vertical holes 71 corresponding to the two second threaded holes 62. The fixing screw 72 passes through the countersunk vertical holes 71 and connects to the second threaded holes 62. The triangular reinforcing block 7 provides additional support for the impact rod 2, making it more stable when impacted by the die-cast part B, and less prone to shaking or bending. Additionally, when the die-cast part B impacts the impact rod 2, the triangular reinforcing block 7 can distribute some of the impact force to the fixing seat 6, reducing the pressure on the impact rod 2, lowering the risk of damage to the impact rod 2, and extending the service life of the impact rod 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a ground lock plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the support leg 12. The ground lock plate 13 has a locking hole 130, and is fixed to the ground by engaging with an expansion bolt on the ground through the locking hole 130 and a nut. The ground lock plate 13 increases the contact area between the support leg 12 and the ground, making the entire slag removal frame of the die-casting part B more stable during operation. When the die-casting part B collides with the impact rod 2, it effectively reduces the shaking of the slag removal frame, ensuring the smooth operation of the slag removal process.
