Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of investment casting technology, and in particular to a sand shell coating device for investment casting. Background Technology

[0002] Casting is a metal heat treatment process, and many parts in industry today require casting. Investment casting requires the first step of creating a shell mold. This typically involves first creating a wax model of the part to be cast, which is then placed in sand or slurry composed mainly of refractory materials such as quartz and corundum. The sand or slurry dries around the wax model to form a shell mold. The wax model inside the shell mold is then melted, and the molten wax flows out, creating a casting cavity that conforms to the shape of the part. Molten iron is then poured into the cavity of the shell mold and cooled, completing the casting process.

[0003] Conventional sand-spreading devices are prone to incomplete coverage of complex casting wax models, resulting in incomplete shell molds. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sand shell coating device for investment casting, which solves the current pain points in this field.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A sand shell covering device for investment casting includes a filling box with a platform at the bottom. A measuring cylinder can be fixedly placed on the platform, and a wax model is suspended from above and placed into the measuring cylinder.

[0007] To further explain, a sandblasting gun is hinged to the upper edge of the stuffing box.

[0008] To further explain, the measuring cylinder is provided in different sizes, and different sizes of measuring cylinder are used for wax molds of different sizes.

[0009] To further explain, the sandblasting gun is connected to a storage tank, and an air pipe is connected to the sandblasting gun. The air pipe is connected to an air source, and the storage tank contains sand.

[0010] To further explain, a conveying tower is fixedly installed on the outside of the packing box, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the packing box, a material conveying channel is provided at the bottom of the conveying tower, the bottom surface of the material conveying channel is inclined, the material conveying channel is connected to the discharge port and communicates with the packing box, a spiral conveying shaft is rotatably installed in the conveying tower, a conveying motor is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying tower and connected to the spiral conveying shaft, and the storage box is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying tower, with an opening on the top of the conveying tower communicating with the storage box.

[0011] To further explain, a partition door panel is hinged to the upper edge of the discharge port.

[0012] To further explain, a door stop is vertically slidably installed at the top of the material feeding channel, which can prevent the partition door from opening. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the side of the filling box and connected to the door stop, which can drive the door stop to move up and down.

[0013] In summary, the advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows: After the wax model is suspended in the selected size limiting cylinder, sand is injected into the limiting cylinder through a sandblasting gun, so that the sand covers the wax model and completely encapsulates it. After the shell mold is formed, the limiting cylinder is removed, and the unattached sand falls into the filling box and can enter the material passage through the discharge port. Then, it is sent to the storage box by the screw conveyor shaft for storage and repeated use. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are illustrated in the drawings by way of example and not limitation, in which:

[0018] A sand shell coating device for investment casting includes a filling box 10, with a platform 11 at the bottom of the filling box 10. A measuring cylinder 12 can be fixedly placed on the platform 11. The measuring cylinder 12 has different sizes, and different sizes of measuring cylinder 12 are used for wax molds of different sizes. The wax mold, hoisted by a robotic arm, is placed into the measuring cylinder 12 from above, but does not contact the measuring cylinder 12 or the platform 11. A sandblasting gun 13 is hinged to the upper edge of the filling box 10. The sandblasting gun 13 is connected to a storage box 23 via a 24, and an air pipe 14 is connected to the sandblasting gun 13. The air pipe 14 is connected to an air source. The storage box 23 contains sand, which is fed into the sandblasting gun 13 via the 24 and sprayed into the measuring cylinder 12 by the sandblasting gun 13. When the measuring cylinder 12 and the wax mold are placed into the filling box 10, the measuring cylinder 12 is flipped and erected to avoid obstruction.
