Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of investment casting mold shells, and in particular to a dewaxing tank for investment casting mold shells. Background Technology
[0002] Investment casting mold shells refer to molds made of fusible materials, coated with several layers of special refractory coating, dried and hardened to form a whole shell, then melted out of the shell using a heater, and then placed in a sand box, with dry sand filling around it. Finally, the mold is placed in a baking furnace for high-temperature baking. After baking, molten metal is poured into the mold or shell to obtain the casting. When dewaxing the wax inside the investment casting mold shell, a dewaxing tank is required.
[0003] The prior art can be referenced in Chinese authorized utility model patent with publication number CN214920277U. Specifically, this prior art is an improved dewaxing tank for investment casting mold shells, comprising: two support legs, each with a connecting column fixedly connected to one side; and a dewaxing box fixedly connected to one side of each connecting column. The dewaxing box contains a clamping mechanism, which includes a drive motor located on the other side of the support legs. This prior art, through the clamping mechanism, activates the drive motor, causing its output shaft to rotate and drive a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output shaft. This rotation drives a winding wheel sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod to rotate, winding and unwinding a lifting rope, thereby achieving dewaxing and clamping of the precision casting mold shell. The operation is simple and convenient, ensuring rapid clamping of the precision casting mold shell while also preventing unnecessary damage during clamping that could lead to quality problems.
[0004] The aforementioned prior art has the following shortcomings in actual operation: the contact area between the clamping mechanism and the investment casting mold shell is small, which can lead to surface damage of the investment casting mold shell due to instability of the center of gravity when it is clamped. Furthermore, adjusting the two sides separately cannot ensure that the investment casting mold shell is in the center position, which will result in uneven heating of the investment casting mold shell and affect the dewaxing efficiency of the investment casting mold shell.

They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0040] Given that the contact area between the clamping mechanism and the investment casting mold shell in the current technology is small, there is a problem that the investment casting mold shell may be damaged due to instability and tilting when clamped. Furthermore, adjusting the two sides separately cannot ensure that the investment casting mold shell is in the center position, which will lead to uneven heating of the investment casting mold shell and affect the dewaxing efficiency of the investment casting mold shell.
[0041] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a dewaxing tank for investment casting mold shells, including a support frame 1, a lifting mechanism 4, and a clamping mechanism 5, etc.
[0042] Among them, a fixed plate 501 is connected to one side of the bottom of the lifting mechanism 4, a bidirectional screw 502 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed plate 501, a turntable 503 is connected to the center of the surface of the bidirectional screw 502, an internal thread ring 504 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw 502, a driving plate 505 is connected to the bottom of the internal thread ring 504, and an arc plate 506 is connected to the bottom of the driving plate 505.
[0043] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 5 also includes an anti-slip pad 507 and a slide groove 509.
[0044] Among them, the side of the anti-slip mat 507 is connected to one side of the arc plate 506, the slide groove 509 is opened on the left and right sides of the bottom of the lifting mechanism 4, and the inner wall of the slide groove 509 is slidably connected to the slider 508.
[0045] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 5 also includes a retaining hole 510 and an outer tube 511.
[0046] The fixing holes 510 are evenly opened on the arc-shaped surface of the turntable 503. The top of the outer tube 511 is at the center of the bottom of the lifting mechanism 4. A spring 512 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the outer tube 511. A fixing rod 513 is connected to the bottom of the spring 512. The side of the fixing rod 513 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 511. A control plate 514 is connected to the lower side of the fixing rod 513. The bottom of the fixing rod 513 is in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing hole 510.
[0047] In use, the upward control plate 514 moves the retaining rod 513 upward, and the upward movement of the retaining rod 513 compresses the spring 512. The rotating turntable 503 drives the bidirectional screw 502, which is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 501, to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 502 drives the internal threaded ring 504 to move towards each other. The movement of the internal threaded ring 504 drives the slider 508 to move in the slide groove 509, and at the same time drives the driving plate 505 to move towards each other. The movement of the driving plate 505 drives the arc plate 506 to move towards each other until the side of the anti-slip pad 507 is in contact with the side of the investment casting shell. The control of the control plate 514 is released, and the retaining rod 513, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 511, is inserted into the retaining hole 510 under the action of the spring 512's own elasticity.
[0048] Furthermore, in order to dewax the casting shell, the dewaxing tank also includes a dewaxing mechanism 2.
[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-4, the support frame 1 is connected to a dewaxing mechanism 2 for dewaxing the casting shell.
[0050] The dewaxing mechanism 2 includes an outer barrel 201 and a discharge pipe 202. The side of the outer barrel 201 is connected to the side of the support frame 1, the top of the discharge pipe 202 is connected to the bottom of the outer barrel 201, and a valve 203 is connected to one side of the discharge pipe 202.
[0051] Specifically, the dewaxing mechanism 2 also includes an insulation cylinder 204 and a heating wire 205 (model OMEGA NCL-122).
[0052] The outer side of the insulation cylinder 204 is connected to the inner wall of the outer barrel 201, the side of the insulation cylinder 204 is connected to the inner plate 206, the heating wire 205 is connected to the inner wall of the insulation cylinder 204, and the heating temperature of the heating wire 205 is controlled by an external controller.
[0053] During use, the heat generated by the heating wire 205 connected to the heat preservation cylinder 204 is conducted from the inner plate 206 to the investment casting mold shell to increase its temperature and carry out the dewaxing work. When the valve 203 is turned, the melted wax liquid is discharged from the discharge pipe 202 at the bottom of the outer barrel 201.
[0054] Furthermore, in order to remove residue from the wax liquid, the dewaxing tank also includes a filtration mechanism 3.
[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3-4, the filtration mechanism 3 includes a support plate 301 and a filter plate 302.
[0056] The support plate 301 is connected to the lower left and right sides of the inner wall of the insulation cylinder 204, the bottom of the filter plate 302 is attached to the top of the support plate 301, and the side of the filter plate 302 is attached to the inner wall of the insulation cylinder 204.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the filter plate 302 is inclined.
[0058] Specifically, the filtration mechanism 3 also includes a waste discharge pipe 303 and a moving trough 304.
[0059] Among them, the waste discharge pipe 303 is connected to the lower right side of the insulation cylinder 204, the movable groove 304 is opened on the top left side of the waste discharge pipe 303, and the inner wall of the movable groove 304 is slidably connected to the blocking frame 305, and the bottom of the blocking frame 305 is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the waste discharge pipe 303.
[0060] In use, the filter plate 302 is placed on the surface of the support plate 301. When it is necessary to discharge the waste residue, the block frame 305 in the moving groove 304 is moved upward, and the clamping plate is placed between the top of the inner wall of the block frame 305 and the upper surface of the waste discharge pipe 303 to fix the block frame 305. The waste residue filtered by the inclined filter plate 302 is discharged from the waste discharge pipe 303.
[0061] Furthermore, in order to place and remove the investment casting mold shell, the dewaxing tank also includes a lifting mechanism 4.
[0062] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-3, the lifting mechanism 4 includes an extension plate 401 and a telescopic tube 406.
[0063] The extension plate 401 is connected to the left side of the support frame 1 on the right side. The top of the extension plate 401 is connected to the motor 402 (model BLDC-57-30). The motor 402 is controlled by an external controller. The output shaft of the motor 402 is connected to the lifting screw 403. The side of the lifting screw 403 is threaded with an internal threaded tube 404. The top of the internal threaded tube 404 is connected to the connecting plate 405. The top of the connecting plate 405 is connected to the top cover 407. The bottom of the top cover 407 is connected to the sealing gasket 408. The bottom of the sealing gasket 408 is in contact with the top of the insulation cylinder 204. The center of the bottom of the sealing gasket 408 is connected to the top of the outer tube 511. One side of the bottom of the sealing gasket 408 is connected to the top of the fixing plate 501. The other side of the bottom of the sealing gasket 408 has a sliding groove 509.
[0064] When in use, the output shaft of the motor 402 at the top of the extension plate 401 rotates, causing the lifting screw 403 to rotate. The rotation of the lifting screw 403 causes the internal thread tube 404 to move down. The movement of the internal thread tube 404 causes the top cover 407 connected to the connecting plate 405 to move down until the bottom of the sealing gasket 408 is in contact with the top of the insulation cylinder 204, while at the same time causing the telescopic tube 406 to shorten.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
