Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical casting technology, and in particular to a cooling device for mechanical casting. Background Technology

[0002] Casting equipment is one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in the processing of mechanical parts. It mainly includes a placement rack and a mold. The mold is usually formed by an upper mold and a lower mold. High-temperature liquid metal is poured into the mold. After the liquid metal cools down, it needs to be cooled with water to enhance the quality of the mechanical parts.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent No. CN222643217U, a cooling device for mechanical casting is disclosed, belonging to the field of mechanical casting technology. It includes a worktable with a fixed base connected to it. A collection box is located under the worktable, and a rotating mechanism is connected inside the fixed base. The rotating mechanism includes a dual-axis motor connected to the fixed base, with threaded rods connected to both ends of the motor. This cooling device for mechanical casting, by setting up a worktable and support frame, allows the dual-axis motor to drive two threaded rods to rotate synchronously. The threaded rod on the left side enables the moving seat to move the cooling box, nozzle, pneumatic gripper, first rotating shaft, and gear within the moving groove. The gear, under the action of the gear seat, can continuously rotate, allowing the device to rotate the casting and ensure uniform cooling by spraying. This avoids uneven cooling of the casting due to the limited spray range of the nozzle, thus ensuring the work progress of the operators.

[0004] While the above-mentioned solution has the advantages mentioned above, its disadvantages are as follows: Although it can drive two threaded rods to rotate synchronously through a dual-axis motor, and the threaded rod on the left side allows the moving seat to move the cooling box, nozzle, pneumatic gripper, first rotating shaft and gear in the moving groove, the gear can rotate continuously under the action of the gear seat, so that the device can drive the casting to rotate and be evenly sprayed for cooling, after cooling a single casting, it is necessary to remove the casting from the pneumatic gripper and re-fix the casting to be cooled, which can easily cause time waste and result in low efficiency of casting cooling.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cooling device for mechanical casting, comprising: a housing, and further comprising:

[0007] Two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the top of the box body. A movable plate is slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves. Multiple pneumatic grippers are fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate. The multiple pneumatic grippers are evenly divided into two groups. A lead screw is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the inner wall of the box body. Two threaded plates are symmetrically threaded to the outer surface of the lead screw. The top of the two threaded plates is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the box body. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. A spray cooling mechanism is provided above the box body. The spray cooling mechanism is used to cool and reduce the temperature of the casting.

[0008] Preferably, the spray cooling mechanism includes a U-shaped plate, which is fixedly connected to the housing. A movable tube is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the U-shaped plate. One end of the movable tube is fixedly connected to a U-shaped tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, controlled by a controller, starts a motor, causing its output shaft to drive a lead screw to rotate. Then, under the action of the threaded connection between the lead screw and the threaded plate, and with the cooperation of the limiting groove guiding the movable plate, the threaded plate can move to one side along the outer surface of the lead screw, causing the movable plate to slide to one side along the limiting groove. This moves one of the pneumatic grippers directly below the spray cooling mechanism. When one casting has finished cooling, the controller again starts the motor, moving another casting directly below the spray cooling mechanism, allowing the spray cooling mechanism to cool the casting. This process is repeated until one set of castings... Once cooling is complete, the controller reverses the rotation of the motor, causing its output shaft to drive the lead screw in the opposite direction. This moves the threaded plate along the lead screw to the other side, simultaneously moving the movable plate and pneumatic grippers to the other side. This moves another group of castings directly under the spray cooling mechanism, and the multiple castings in the other group are then sprayed and cooled sequentially. At the same time, the controller releases the pneumatic grippers of one group from their clamping position on the castings. The cooled castings can then be removed, and the castings to be cooled can be installed. This process is repeated, saving installation and waiting time and improving the cooling efficiency of the castings.

[0017] 2. This utility model controls the water pump to start via a controller, drawing clean water from inside the tank through L-shaped pipe two. The water then passes sequentially through a coil, L-shaped pipe one, a rotary joint, a movable pipe, a U-shaped pipe, and a nozzle, spraying the clean water out through the nozzle. Simultaneously, the controller controls the refrigerator to start, cooling the inside of the cooling tank and lowering the temperature of the water inside the coil. Simultaneously, the controller controls motor two to start, causing its output shaft to drive gear two to rotate. With gear two meshing with gear one, gear one drives the movable pipe, U-shaped pipe, and nozzle to rotate, evenly spraying the cooled water onto the surface of the casting, thus cooling the casting. A filter plate filters the water used for cooling the casting, allowing the filtered water to recirculate back into the tank. This ensures effective cooling of the casting while conserving water resources. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0026] Examples, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a cooling device for mechanical casting, including: a housing 1, and two limiting grooves 101 symmetrically opened on the top of the housing 1. A movable plate 103 is slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves 101. A plurality of pneumatic grippers 104 are fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 103. The plurality of pneumatic grippers 104 are evenly divided into two groups. A lead screw 106 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the inner wall of the housing 1. Two threaded plates 107 are symmetrically threaded to the outer surface of the lead screw 106. The tops of the two threaded plates 107 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 103. A motor 105 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 105 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 106. A spray cooling mechanism is provided above the housing 1. The spray cooling mechanism is used to cool and reduce the temperature of the casting.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the spray cooling mechanism includes a U-shaped plate 2, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A movable pipe 201 is rotatably connected to the center of the top of the U-shaped plate 2. A U-shaped pipe 211 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable pipe 201. Multiple nozzles 212 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer surfaces of the two arms of the U-shaped pipe 211. The movable pipe 201, the U-shaped pipe 211 and the multiple nozzles 212 are interconnected. With the above arrangement, clean water can pass through the coil 204, the L-shaped pipe 203, the rotary joint 202, the movable pipe 201, the U-shaped pipe 211 and the nozzles 212 in sequence, and the clean water is sprayed out through the nozzles 212.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a water pump 213 is fixedly connected to one side of the tank 1 near the bottom. An L-shaped pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the pump 213 at the pumping end. The L-shaped pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the tank 1 and is in communication with the tank 1. The water pump 213 is started by the controller so that it can draw clean water out of the tank 1 through the L-shaped pipe 205.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a coil 204 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the water pump 213, and an L-shaped pipe 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the coil 204. The coil 204 and the L-shaped pipe 203 are connected. By setting the coil 204, the stroke of the clean water flow is increased, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the clean water inside the coil 204.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4As shown, a rotary joint 202 is detachably installed at one end of the L-shaped pipe 203. The rotary joint 202 is detachably connected to the movable pipe 201. The L-shaped pipe 203, the rotary joint 202 and the movable pipe 201 are connected. The rotary joint 202 facilitates the rotation of the movable pipe 201 without affecting the delivery of clean water.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a motor 210 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 2. A gear 209 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 210. A gear 208 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable tube 201. The gear 208 meshes with the gear 209. The controller controls the motor 210 to start, so that its output shaft drives the gear 209 to rotate. Then, with the meshing of the gear 209 and the gear 208, the gear 208 can drive the movable tube 201, the U-shaped tube 211 and the nozzle 212 to rotate, so that the cooled water is evenly sprayed on the surface of the casting to cool it down.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a cooling box 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the box 1. The cooling box 206 is fixedly connected to the coil 204. A refrigerator 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the cooling box 206. The cold air outlet of the refrigerator 207 is connected to the inside of the cooling box 206. The refrigerator 207 is started by the controller so that it cools the inside of the cooling box 206 and cools the water inside the coil 204.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to each opposite side of the U-shaped plate 2, and a cooling fan 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each fixing plate 3. A filter plate 102 is fixedly connected to each opposite side of the inner wall of the box 1. The cooling fan 301 is started by controlling the controller to blow air onto the casting. This not only provides auxiliary cooling for the casting, but also blows away the water on the surface of the casting after the spray cooling. The filter plate 102 filters the water after the casting is cooled.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the pneumatic gripper 104 clamps and fixes the casting. Then, the controller starts the motor 105, causing its output shaft to drive the lead screw 106 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded connection between the lead screw 106 and the threaded plate 107, and with the limiting groove 101 guiding the movable plate 103, the threaded plate 107 moves to one side along the outer surface of the lead screw 106, causing the movable plate 103 to slide to one side along the limiting groove 101. This moves one of the pneumatic grippers 104 directly below the spray cooling mechanism. At this time, the motor 105 is turned off, and a certain amount of clean water is injected into the tank 1. Then, the controller starts the water pump 213, which draws the clean water out of the tank 1 through the L-shaped pipe 205, and so on. Water flows through coil 204, L-shaped tube 203, rotary joint 202, movable tube 201, U-shaped tube 211, and nozzle 212. Water is sprayed out through nozzle 212. Simultaneously, the controller starts the cooler 207, cooling the interior of the cooling box 206 and the water inside coil 204. Simultaneously, the controller starts the motor 210, causing its output shaft to drive gear 209. Gear 209 meshes with gear 208, which in turn drives movable tube 201, U-shaped tube 211, and nozzle 212, spraying the cooled water evenly onto the surface of the casting, thus cooling it. The filter plate 102 further enhances the cooling effect. The cooled water is filtered and then recycled back into the tank 1. This ensures effective cooling of the castings while conserving water. Once one casting has cooled completely, the controller starts motor 105, moving the other casting directly under the spray cooling mechanism. This process is repeated until one set of castings has cooled completely. Then, the controller reverses the rotation of motor 105, causing its output shaft to rotate the lead screw 106 in the opposite direction. This moves the threaded plate 107 along the lead screw 106 to the other side, simultaneously moving the movable plate 103 and the pneumatic gripper 104 to the other side, thus moving the other set of castings into the spray cooling mechanism. Directly below, multiple castings in another group are sequentially sprayed with water for cooling. Simultaneously, the controller releases the pneumatic grippers 104 from one group of castings, allowing the cooled castings to be removed and replaced with the next casting to be cooled. This process is repeated, saving installation time and improving cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, the controller activates the cooling fan 301, blowing air onto the castings. This not only provides auxiliary cooling but also blows away water from the surface of the castings after spray cooling. The movable plate 103 is arc-shaped, causing water falling onto it to flow to the filter plate 102, where impurities are filtered out.It flows into container 1.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
