Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sand mixers, specifically relating to a suspended mobile sand mixer. Background Technology
[0002] A sand mixer is used to uniformly mix sand with liquid curing agents and resins, ensuring that the curing agents and resins are evenly distributed and effectively coat the surface of the sand particles, forming coated molding sand suitable for mold making. In traditional sand mixing operations, sand mixers typically employ a fixed or semi-fixed structure, with their mixing and drive mechanisms fixed to the ground or a specific location. While this structure is simple, it has several drawbacks in practical applications: First, once the sand mixer is fixed in place, its operating range is limited, preventing flexible movement and resulting in low mixing efficiency; second, manual material handling is required during the mixing process, increasing labor intensity and operating costs; and third, fixed sand mixers occupy a large area, hindering the rational use of site resources.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN211276418U discloses a novel mobile sand mixer for mold making, including a mobile sand mixer body and a screening box. The screening box is mainly used to screen the sand material and uses a vibrating motor for vibration mixing. Due to the relationship between the mass and density of the molding sand and the curing agent, the sand mainly settles at the bottom of the hopper, resulting in uneven mixing. This prevents the curing agent from better covering the surface of the molding sand and thus fails to provide good protection, resulting in poor sand mixing effect. Utility Model Content

In this embodiment of the utility model, an auger stirring blade is provided to stir and convey the sand in reverse in the sand mixing trough 11, achieving efficient mixing of sand and curing agent. In this embodiment of the invention, the drive mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 4 are respectively connected to the PLC controller and the manual operation panel, and are used to control and adjust the mixing time, stirring speed and moving commands, thereby improving the automation control level of the device.
[0024] The drive mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21, a reduction mechanism 22, and a rotating shaft 23.

In this embodiment, the scraper plate 12 and the auger blade 13 are made of wear-resistant materials, such as high-manganese steel blades, to extend the service life of the device.
[0025] The scraper blades 12 are in three sets, evenly distributed on the rotating shaft surface of the auger blades 13. The scraper blades are set on the top rotating shaft surface of the auger blades 13. By rotating the scraper blades, the mixed sand conveyed from the bottom of the auger blades 13 is scraped to both sides. The angle and rotation speed of the auger blades and scraper blades are optimized to ensure that the mixed sand is mixed without dead corners.
[0026] The moving mechanism 4 includes a walking motor 41, a gear 42, a rack 43, and a guide rail 44. The gear 42 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the walking motor 41, and the gear 42 meshes with the rack 43. The rack 43 is fixed to the upper end of the guide rail 44. There are two sets of guide rails 44, and a hanging mechanism 3 is provided between the two sets of guide rails 44. The hanging mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the guide rails 44. The walking motor 41 is mounted on the clamping arm 33 of the hanging mechanism 3 via a bracket. The gear 42 is assembled at the end of its output shaft, and the gear 42 meshes with the rack 43. The walking motor 41 is a servo motor, and the controller realizes precise start-stop and stroke control of the sand mixing mechanism 1. In this embodiment of the invention, the equipment is hoisted to the lower part of the hopper by the hanging mechanism, saving ground space and facilitating lateral movement. In this embodiment of the invention, flexible transfer along the guide rail is supported, making movement convenient and adaptable to multi-station requirements.
[0027] The hanging mechanism 3 includes a boom 31, a first baffle 32, a clamping arm 33, and a second baffle 34 connected in sequence. Two sets of guide rails 44 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the clamping arm 33. The clamping arm 33 is slidably connected to the guide rail 44. The second baffle 34 is rotatably connected to the vertical surface of the guide rail 44. The boom 31 is fixedly connected to the sand mixing tank 11.
[0028] The second baffle 34 has grooves 35 at its upper and lower ends, and rollers 36 are installed in the grooves 35. The rollers 36 are connected to the second baffle 34 by bearings, and the wheel surfaces of the rollers 36 are in rolling contact with the vertical surface of the guide rail. The clamping arm 33 is made of H-beam steel, and its upper and lower sides are slidably connected to the guide rail 44 via rollers. The second baffle 34 is equipped with four sets of rollers 36 through the grooves 35. The rollers 36 are made of nylon-coated wheels and are in rolling contact with the vertical surface of the guide rail 44, effectively dispersing lateral loads. The lower end of the boom 31 is fixed to the sand mixing tank 11 by a flange, and the upper end passes through the first baffle 32 and is welded to the clamping arm 33 to form a stable three-point suspension structure.
[0029] A sand discharge mechanism 6 is provided below the sand mixing tank 11. The sand discharge mechanism 6 includes a sand gate 61 and a support 62. There are two sets of supports 62, which are respectively set at both ends of the sand gate 61. One end of the sand gate 61 is hinged to the support 62, and the other end of the sand gate 61 is provided with a protruding plate 64. The protruding plate 64 is inserted into the support 62 on the other side. The upper part of the sand mixing tank 11 is connected to the hopper 5. When closed, the protruding plate 64 is inserted into the slot of the pin 63 of the support 62. When opened, the pin 63 is pulled to release the lock, and the sand gate 61 rotates and flips down around the hinge under the action of gravity. The top rod 65 is hinged to the sand gate 61 and the support 62 at both ends, which is used to limit the opening and closing angle of the sand gate (0°~90°) to prevent the sand from pouring out too violently.
[0030] The end of the sand gate 61 is fixed with a top rod 65, and the other end of the top rod 65 is hinged to the bracket 62; a pin 63 is provided on the bracket 62 on the side corresponding to the convex plate 64, and the pin 63 is used to insert the convex plate 64 between the pin 63 and the sand mixing tank 11 to seal the outlet of the sand mixing tank 11.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, sand, curing agent and other raw materials are put into the sand mixing tank in proportion; second, the drive mechanism 2 is started and the auger plate rotates at high speed to achieve uniform mixing of sand and curing agent; finally, after the sand and curing agent are mixed, the mixed sand is moved to the designated position for unloading through the hanging mechanism 3.
