Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molding machine technology, and in particular to a fully automatic dual-station vertical molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical molding machine is a piece of equipment used in the foundry industry. It mainly uses a combination of upper and lower molds to fill sand or other materials vertically. Its working principle is to use pressure to compact the sand and produce high-quality sand molds. It is suitable for the production of various metal castings. This machine is widely used in mass production of castings due to its precise molding capabilities and high efficiency.

[0003] However, the molds of traditional dual-station vertical molding machines are usually fixed and suitable for specific casting designs. This limits their flexibility in meeting diverse production needs and customized orders, and makes them inconvenient to disassemble and maintain. For situations where regular inspection or cleaning of the molds is required, this leads to increased maintenance costs and inconvenience.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a fully automatic dual-station vertical molding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fully automatic dual-station vertical molding machine. Both the upper and lower molds of this machine are equipped with detachable templates. Users can disassemble or install the upper and lower templates using snap-fit ​​and bolt locking methods. This allows users to change the templates to suitable shapes according to processing requirements, enabling rapid mold changes. This makes the vertical molding machine adaptable to various casting production needs, enhancing the equipment's versatility. When mold changes are required, disassembly and installation can be performed quickly, improving production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully automatic dual-station vertical molding machine includes a support column. An upper mold is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of both the front and rear ends of the support column. The upper mold includes a top plate. A hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the center of the inner top surface of the top plate. An upper clamping plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod. Limiting slots are provided on the front and rear ends of both sides of the lower surface of the upper clamping plate. A positioning groove is provided on the inner top surface of the limiting slot. An upper template is engaged with the lower surface of the upper clamping plate. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of both sides of the upper surface of the upper template. A fixing screw is hinged to the upper surface of the limiting block. Two locking nuts are threaded into the outer wall of the fixing screw. The limiting block engages with the limiting slot.

[0016] Furthermore, the base plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the front end and rear end outer wall of the support column, and a touch screen is fixedly connected to the middle part of one side outer wall of the support column;

[0017] The above technical solution enables the lower mold to be stably and firmly fixed on the support column, and the touch screen allows the user to operate the device.

[0018] Furthermore, a shaping mechanism is provided in the middle of the front end and rear end outer wall of the support column. The shaping mechanism includes a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove and a servo motor. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, and the outer wall of the threaded rod is threaded with a shaping frame.

[0019] The above technical solution enables the servo motor to adjust and move the position of the frame.

[0020] Furthermore, the first limiting groove is respectively opened on both sides of the middle of the front end and the rear end outer wall of the support column, and the second limiting groove is respectively opened at the center of the front end and the rear end outer wall of the support column.

[0021] The above technical solution enables the shaping frame to move on the support column by setting the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove.
