Description
An automated circular conveyor for wax molds Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wax model technology, and in particular to an automated circular conveying device for wax models. Background Technology
[0002] Wax models play a crucial role in lost-wax casting. Serving as precise templates for the casting, they are created by pouring wax or sculpting to achieve a shape identical to the final product. A ceramic slurry is then applied to form a shell. Upon heating, the wax model melts and flows out, leaving a cavity for pouring molten metal. The high reproducibility and low melting point of wax models allow them to perfectly represent complex structures such as precision parts and works of art, while ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface finish, reducing subsequent machining. They are an important medium connecting design and finished product.
[0003] 1. In existing technologies, when handling wax molds, operators rely on themselves to move the wax molds. Due to the long overall transport route, operators need to hold the wax molds for extended periods. However, prolonged hand contact not only causes partial melting of the wax mold's outer surface but also reduces the efficiency of the overall handling and transfer, thus hindering efficient subsequent production.
[0004] 2. In existing technologies, when operators rely on trolley-like devices to move wax models, the ground is prone to damage and potholes after prolonged handling due to the contact between the trolley and the uneven surface. When the wax model is loaded onto the trolley and comes into contact with the uneven surface, the trolley is prone to vibration, which can easily damage the wax model, hindering its proper transfer.

[0029] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] Referring to Figures 1-5, an embodiment of this utility model discloses an automated circular conveying device for wax molds, comprising a worktable 1, connecting rods 2 fixedly connected to the four upper corners of the worktable 1, a lifting device 3 disposed above the connecting rods 2, a fixing block 4 fixedly connected to the upper center of the worktable 1, support rods 5 fixedly connected to the four upper corners of the fixing block 4, a turntable 6 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rods 5, a displacement track 7 fixedly connected to the upper part of the turntable 6, fixing plates 8 fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the turntable 6, a first transmission wheel 9 rotatably connected to the upper part of the right fixing plate 8, and a first transmission wheel 9 rotatably connected to the right side of the left fixing plate 8. A right-angle connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected. A drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the right-angle connecting plate 10. A second transmission wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11. A synchronous belt 13 is connected to the outside of the second transmission wheel 12. The other end of the synchronous belt 13 is connected to the first transmission wheel 9. A connecting device 14 is provided on the outside of the synchronous belt 13. A locking device 15 is provided below the connecting device 14. A controller 20 is installed in the upper middle part of the fixed block 4. A servo driver 21 is installed in the upper middle part of the fixed block 4. A pad block 22 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixed block 4.
[0031] The above structure includes a controller 20 connected to a servo driver 21 via wires, and the servo driver 21 connected to a drive motor 11 via wires. The drive motor 11 is a servo motor. The controller 20, servo driver 21, and drive motor 11 are connected via wires, allowing the operator to control the drive motor 11 through the controller 20.
[0032] Driven by the drive motor 11, the second transmission wheel 12 rotates. A synchronous belt 13 is externally connected to the second transmission wheel 12, and the other end of the synchronous belt 13 is connected to the first transmission wheel 9. This allows the second transmission wheel 12 to drive the first transmission wheel 9 to rotate via the synchronous belt 13, and because the tension of the synchronous belt 13 is appropriate, the first transmission wheel 9 and the second transmission wheel 12 rotate synchronously.
[0033] A connecting device 14 is provided on the outside of the synchronous belt 13, and the connecting block 141 is fixedly connected to the outside of the synchronous belt 13, so that the synchronous belt 13 can drive the connecting device 14 to rotate synchronously.
[0034] A lifting device 3 is provided above the right connecting rod 2, a lifting device 3 is provided in the middle of the left support rod 5, and a lifting device 3 is provided in the middle of the right support rod 5. The lifting device 3 includes a plate 31, a knob 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the plate 31, a lifting screw 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the knob 32, the lifting screw 33 is rotatably connected to the plate 31, the lifting block 34 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 35, the lifting block 34 is threadedly connected to the middle of the lifting screw 33, and the limiting rod 35 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the plate 31.
[0035] In the above structure, rotating the knob 32 causes the lifting screw 33 to rotate. The lifting block 34 is connected to the middle of the lifting screw 33 by a thread, so that the lifting screw 33 drives the lifting block 34 to move up and down. Under the action of the limit rod 35, the lifting block 34 will not rotate left and right, but will only move up and down.
[0036] By adjusting the position of the lifting block 34, the first infrared generator 16 and the first receiver 17 can be adapted to wax models of different heights, as can the second infrared generator 18 and the second receiver 19. This allows the device to transport wax models of different heights.
[0037] A first infrared generator 16 is installed on the left side of the lifting block 34 above the right connecting rod 2, and a first receiver 17 is installed on the right side of the lifting block 34 above the right support rod 5. The first infrared generator 16 and the first receiver 17 correspond to each other. A second infrared generator 18 is installed on the right side of the lifting block 34 above the left connecting rod 2, and a second receiver 19 is installed on the left side of the lifting block 34 above the left support rod 5. The second infrared generator 18 and the second receiver 19 correspond to each other.
[0038] The above structure includes a first receiver 17 connected to the controller 20 via a wire (a data cable). This allows the controller 20 to receive information about whether the first receiver 17 receives an infrared signal. Based on this information, the controller 20 then takes further action, controlling the drive motor 11 to operate or stop via the servo driver 21.
[0039] A second receiver 19 is provided, and the second receiver 19 is connected to the controller 20 via a wire. This wire refers to a data cable capable of transmitting data. The controller 20 can receive information about whether the second receiver 19 can receive an infrared signal, and then the controller 20 will take further action based on whether the second receiver 19 has received an infrared signal. Specifically, based on whether the second receiver 19 has received an infrared signal, the controller 20 controls the drive motor 11 to start or stop working via the servo driver 21.
[0040] The system includes a first receiver 17 and a second receiver 19. When both receivers simultaneously receive infrared signals, the drive motor 11 stops operating. When neither receiver receives an infrared signal, the drive motor 11 stops operating. When the first receiver 17 receives an infrared signal, but the second receiver 19 does not, the drive motor 11 resumes operation five seconds after this condition occurs. When the first receiver 17 does not receive an infrared signal, but the second receiver 19 does, the drive motor 11 stops operating.
[0041] The connecting device 14 includes a connecting block 141, a slot 142 is provided in the middle of the connecting block 141, a first fixing rod 143 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting block 141, a block insertion compartment 144 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first fixing rod 143, the connecting block 141 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 13, and the displacement track 7 is located inside the slot 142 in the middle of the connecting block 141. The connecting block 141 and the displacement track 7 are slidably connected.
[0042] In the above structure, a slot 142 is provided in the middle of the connecting block 141, and the displacement track 7 is located inside the slot 142 in the middle of the connecting block 141, so that the connecting block 141 moves above the displacement track 7 under the drive of the synchronous belt 13.
[0043] A first fixing rod 143 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting block 141, and an insert block compartment 144 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first fixing rod 143, so that the connecting block 141 drives the insert block compartment 144 to move synchronously.
[0044] The locking device 15 includes a locking chamber 151, which corresponds to the insertion block chamber 144. A return spring 152 is fixedly connected to the upper interior of the locking chamber 151. A locking block 153 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper return spring 152. A return spring 152 is fixedly connected to the lower interior of the locking chamber 151. A locking block 153 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lower return spring 152. The locking block 153 is slidably connected to the locking chamber 151. A second fixing rod 154 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the locking chamber 151. A wax model body 155 is installed below the second fixing rod 154.
[0045] The above structure includes a return spring 152, one end of which is fixedly connected to a locking block 153. The side cross-section of the locking block 153 is a parallelogram. When the operator inserts the locking chamber 151 into the insert block chamber 144, the upper and lower return springs 152 contract. After the locking chamber 151 is fully inserted into the insert block chamber 144, the return springs 152 rebound. At this time, the upper and lower locking blocks 153 abut against the insert block inside the insert block chamber 144, thereby completing the connection between the connecting device 14 and the locking device 15.
[0046] Since the side cross-section of the locking block 153 is a parallelogram, when the operator needs to remove the locking device 15, he only needs to hold the second fixing rod 154 and pull it outward to remove the locking device 15.
[0047] Working Principle: This automated circular conveying device for wax models can transport the wax model body 155 from the left to the right. In use, the operator first inserts the locking chamber 151 of the wax model body 155 equipped with the locking device 15 into the interior of the left connecting device 14. At this time, the second receiver 19 does not receive an infrared signal, while the first receiver 17 can receive one. The drive motor 11 then drives the second transmission wheel 12, rotating a distance equal to the distance between the adjacent connecting devices 14. After rotation, the operator again inserts the locking chamber 151 of the wax model body 155 equipped with the locking device 15 below the leftmost connecting device 14. This continues until the first receiver 17 no longer receives an infrared signal. At this point, a second operator removes the wax model body 155 equipped with the locking device 15 from the rightmost location, completing the conveying of the wax model body 155.
[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
