Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of investment casting technology, specifically to an investment casting pouring support. Background Technology

[0002] When making a casting mold, since its shape is often complex and may have a delicate structure, the casting support can provide stable support and fixation for the casting mold, ensuring that the casting mold maintains an accurate position in a series of subsequent processes such as shell making, dewaxing and casting.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN221620827U that discloses a casting support for investment casting. Through the cooperation of a fixed plate, a second sliding groove, a reciprocating screw, a second sliding block, a second servo motor, and a placement plate, the gas inside the mold is allowed to escape from the mold through reciprocating shaking.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, the positions of the casting box and the gating pipe are generally fixed, which makes it difficult for the molten metal to spread evenly throughout the mold cavity when casting parts of different shapes and sizes. This results in filling difficulties in areas of the cavity far from the gating pipe. In order to solve the problem of the limited applicability of the device in the prior art, this application proposes to provide a sliding component between the casting box and the device, thereby enabling the free adjustment of the position of the casting box and changing the position of the gating pipe to achieve the effect of using parts of different shapes and sizes. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The aforementioned background technology addresses the shortcomings and defects of existing technologies, such as the fixed positions of the pouring box and pouring pipe, which makes it difficult for molten metal to spread evenly throughout the mold cavity when pouring parts of different shapes and sizes, thus limiting the applicability of the device.

[0006] The present invention discloses an investment casting support, comprising a base, a support plate on the base, a lifting plate on the support plate, a driving mechanism between the lifting plate and the base, a sliding plate on the lifting plate, a lateral adjustment component between the sliding plate and the lifting plate, a slider slidably mounted on the sliding plate, a longitudinal adjustment component between the slider and the sliding plate, and a casting component mounted on the slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the lateral adjustment assembly includes a bidirectional threaded rod, which is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate and is threadedly connected to the sliding plate.

[0008] Furthermore, two bidirectional threaded rods are provided, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the slide plate, arranged in parallel, and a transmission component is provided at the same end of the two bidirectional threaded rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission component includes a transmission rod, which is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate. Two worm gears are mounted on the transmission rod, and a worm wheel is meshed on one side of each of the two worm gears. The two worm wheels are mounted on corresponding bidirectional threaded rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the longitudinal adjustment assembly includes a one-way screw, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the slider, and the other end of which passes through the slide plate and is threadedly connected to the slide plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the casting assembly includes a casting box and a casting pipe. The casting pipe is installed at the lower end of the casting box. The casting box is disposed on the slider. The slider is provided with a through hole. The slide plate is provided with a strip groove. The casting pipe passes through the through hole and the strip groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a lead screw, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the base, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on the support plate. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the lifting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model incorporates components such as a one-way screw, a slider, a slide plate, and a two-way threaded rod. During operation, the one-way screw and slider components work together to adjust the rotation of the one-way screw, which drives the slider to move on the slide plate. This movement causes the casting box and casting pipe to follow suit, adjusting their longitudinal positions. The two-way threaded rod and slide plate components work together to adjust the rotation of the two-way threaded rod, which drives the slide plate to slide on the lifting plate. This causes the casting box and casting pipe to move laterally, changing their lateral positions. This allows the device to process parts of different shapes and sizes, expanding its applicability.

[0015] 2. This utility model incorporates components such as a transmission rod, worm gear, and worm wheel. During operation, the transmission rod, worm gear, and worm wheel components work together to adjust the rotation of the transmission rod. The transmission rod drives the worm wheel to rotate via the worm gear, and the worm wheel drives the corresponding bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. The two bidirectional threaded rods synchronously drive both ends of the slide plate, thereby ensuring that the force on both ends of the slide plate is even and improving the stability of the slide plate during movement.

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the investment casting support of this utility model includes a base 1, a support plate 2 on the base 1, a lifting plate 3 on the support plate 2, a driving mechanism between the lifting plate 3 and the base 1, a sliding plate 6 on the lifting plate 3, a lateral adjustment component between the sliding plate 6 and the lifting plate 3, a slider 7 slidably mounted on the sliding plate 6, a longitudinal adjustment component between the slider 7 and the sliding plate 6, and a casting component on the slider 7.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lateral adjustment component includes a bidirectional threaded rod 5, which is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 3. The bidirectional threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the slide plate 6. By driving the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate, the bidirectional threaded rod 5 drives the slide plate 6 to move. Adjusting the rotation direction of the bidirectional threaded rod 5 changes the movement direction of the slide plate 6.

[0025] There are two bidirectional threaded rods 5, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the slide plate 6 and are parallel to each other. A transmission component is provided at the same end of the two bidirectional threaded rods 5. By driving the two bidirectional threaded rods 5 to rotate synchronously, the two ends of the slide plate 6 are subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the stability of the slide plate 6 during movement.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the transmission component includes a transmission rod 14, which is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 3. Two worm gears 15 are mounted on the transmission rod 14, and a worm wheel 16 is meshed on one side of each of the two worm gears 15. The two worm wheels 16 are mounted on corresponding bidirectional threaded rods 5. By driving the transmission rod 14 to rotate, and through the mutual cooperation between the worm wheel 16 and the worm gear 15, the two bidirectional threaded rods 5 rotate synchronously.

[0027] See Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal adjustment assembly includes a one-way screw 8. One end of the one-way screw 8 is rotatably mounted on the slider 7, and the other end of the one-way screw 8 passes through the slide plate 6. The one-way screw 8 is threadedly connected to the slide plate 6. By driving the one-way screw 8 to rotate, the one-way screw 8 drives the slider 7 to move. Changing the rotation direction of the one-way screw 8 changes the movement direction of the slider 7.

[0028] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the casting assembly includes a casting box 11 and a casting pipe 12. The casting pipe 12 is installed at the lower end of the casting box 11. A mold 13 is set below the casting pipe 12. The mold 13 is placed on the upper surface of the base 1. The casting box 11 is set on the slider 7. The slider 7 is provided with a through hole 10. The slide plate 6 is provided with a strip groove 9. The casting pipe 12 passes through the through hole 10 and the strip groove 9.

[0029] See Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a lead screw 4, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the base 1, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on the support plate 2. The lead screw 4 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 3, and a servo motor is installed at the power end of the lead screw 4.

[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: When the longitudinal position of the pouring pipe 12 needs to be adjusted, the operator drives the one-way screw 8 to rotate. The one-way screw 8 drives the slider 7 to move on the slide plate 6. As the slider 7 moves, it drives the pouring box 11 and the pouring pipe 12 to move together until the pouring pipe 12 is moved to the preset position. When the lateral position of the pouring pipe 12 needs to be adjusted, the operator drives the transmission rod 14 to rotate. The transmission rod 14 drives the worm gear 15 to rotate. The worm gear 15 drives the worm wheel 16 to rotate. The worm wheel 16 drives the double-threaded rod 5 to rotate. The double-threaded rod 5 drives the slide plate 6 to move. The slide plate 6 drives the slider 7 and the pouring box 11 to move together until the pouring box 11 and the pouring pipe 12 are moved to the preset position. After the pouring pipe 12 is moved to the preset position, the operator drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. The lead screw 4 drives the lifting plate 3 to move and adjusts the lifting plate 3 to the preset position. Then, the pouring is performed on the mold 13 through the pouring box 11 and the pouring pipe 12.
