[0031] A type of sand core mold, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, it includes an upper mold assembly 1 and a lower mold assembly 2, which are respectively connected to the base plate via positioning pins.

[0032] Specifically, the upper mold assembly 1 includes an upper cover 11, two first enclosing members 12, a first connecting seat 13, and a plurality of first pillars 14. A plurality of first pillars 14 are spaced apart on the top periphery of the first connecting seat 13. The first connecting seat 13 is connected to the first pillars 14 via positioning pins. The two opposite ends of the two first enclosing members 12 are provided with first positioning holes (not shown). The two first positioning holes are connected by positioning pins to fix the two first enclosing members 12 relative to each other. The two first enclosing members 12 are located on the periphery 14 of the first connecting seat 13 and the first pillars, and a gap is formed between the two first enclosing members 12 and the first connecting seat 13 and the first pillars 14. The upper cover 11 is located on the first pillars 14, and the bottom periphery of the upper cover 11 abuts against the two first enclosing members 12. The two first enclosure components 12 are fixed with positioning pins through the first positioning holes, and the first column 14 is connected to the connecting seat 13 through positioning pins to ensure accurate alignment of each component during installation, reduce assembly errors, and improve efficiency. The two first enclosure components 12 are detachably connected through positioning pins, which facilitates internal inspection or replacement of damaged components (such as the first column 14) and reduces maintenance costs. The upper cover 11 is independently installed on the top of the first column 14, forming a partial closed space with the two first enclosure components 12, which facilitates the individual replacement or adjustment of the upper cover 11 assembly and improves modularity. The positioning pin connection replaces complex welding or riveting processes, reducing processing difficulty and cost. The upper mold assembly 1 achieves a balance between efficient assembly, stability, and maintainability through precise positioning structure, modular design, and strength optimization measures.

[0033] Specifically, the outer walls of the first enclosure 12 are recessed at opposite ends to form a first positioning groove 121, which is adapted to the base plate. The bottom of the first connecting seat 13 is provided with a first reinforcing member 131, and the side of the first reinforcing member 131 facing away from the first connecting seat 13 is provided with a second positioning hole 1311, which is adapted to the base plate. The first positioning groove 121 on the outer wall of the first enclosure 12 is adapted to the base plate, and the second positioning hole 1311 at the bottom of the first connecting seat 13 also cooperates with the base plate to achieve multi-level precise positioning and enhance the overall structural stability. The first reinforcing member 131 at the bottom of the first connecting seat 13 disperses stress concentration and enhances the deformation resistance of the connection.

[0034] Specifically, the lower mold assembly 2 includes two second enclosure parts 21, a second connecting seat 22, multiple second pillars 23, multiple positioning blocks 24, and multiple fixing blocks 25. Multiple second pillars 23 are spaced apart at the top periphery of the second connecting seat 22, and the second connecting seat 22 is connected to the second pillars 23 via positioning pins.

[0035] The two second enclosure members 21 are provided with third positioning holes (not shown) at opposite ends. The two third positioning holes are connected by positioning pins. The two second enclosure members 21 are located on the periphery of the second connecting seat 22 and the second column 23, and a gap is formed between the two second enclosure members 21 and the second connecting seat 22 and the second column 23. A plurality of fourth positioning holes 212 are provided at intervals on the top surface of the two second enclosure members 21. A plurality of positioning blocks 24 and a plurality of fixing blocks 25 are staggered on the top of the two second enclosure members 21 and connected by positioning pins. The positioning blocks 24 and fixing blocks 25 extend toward the second column 23, and the positioning blocks 24 and fixing blocks 25 respectively abut against the adjacent second column 23. The second column 23, the third positioning hole, and the fourth positioning hole 212 are connected by positioning pins to achieve modular and precise positioning, reduce assembly errors, and shorten installation time. The positioning block 24 and the fixing block 25 are staggered and abut against the second column 23 to enhance structural stability and prevent displacement during assembly. The positioning block 24 and the fixing block 25 extend to the adjacent second column 23 to form multiple supports and improve the overall resistance to deformation. The positioning pin connection structure with intervals (such as the second column 23 and the third positioning hole) allows for quick disassembly and maintenance to meet the needs of different mold replacements. The staggered layout of the positioning block 24 and the fixing block 25 provides flexible adjustment space and is compatible with various specifications of workpieces or process requirements.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning block 24 is provided with a first inclined surface 241 and a first arc-shaped portion 242. Part of the first arc-shaped portion 241 abuts against the second column 23. The top surface of the positioning block 24 is recessed to form a receiving groove 243. The bottom surface of the positioning block 24 is provided with a fifth positioning hole 244, and the fourth positioning hole 212 corresponds to the fifth positioning hole 244. The fixing block 25 is provided with a second inclined surface 251 and a second arc-shaped portion 252. The first inclined surface 241 is adapted to the second inclined surface 251. The second arc-shaped portion 252 abuts against the second column 23. The bottom surface of the fixing block 25 is provided with a sixth positioning hole 253, and the fourth positioning hole 212 corresponds to the sixth positioning hole 253. The first inclined portion 241 and the second inclined portion 251 abut against each other to form a tapered connection structure, while the first arc-shaped portion 241 and the second arc-shaped portion 252 abut against the second column 23 respectively. The fourth positioning hole 212 is connected to the fifth positioning hole 244 and the sixth positioning hole 253 respectively through positioning pins, so that the positioning block 24 and the fixing block 25 form a stable connection with the second enclosure 21 to ensure the structural stability of the second column 23. The receiving groove 243 is used to receive sand.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom of the second connecting seat 22 is provided with a second reinforcing member 221, and the opposite ends of the outer wall of the second enclosure 21 are recessed to form a second positioning groove 211, which is adapted to the base plate. The side of the second reinforcing member 221 facing away from the second connecting seat 22 is provided with a seventh positioning hole 2211, which is adapted to the base plate. The second positioning groove 211 and the seventh positioning hole 2211 are adapted to the base plate, realizing multi-level precise positioning and enhancing the overall structural stability. The second reinforcing member 221 at the bottom of the second connecting seat 22 disperses stress concentration and enhances the deformation resistance of the connection.

[0038] Specifically, the first column 14 and the second column 23 are coaxially arranged. After the sand core mold assembly made by the upper mold assembly 1 and the lower mold assembly 2 is completed, the first column 14 and the second column 23 form a coaxial whole.

[0039] Specifically, both the upper mold component 1 and the lower mold component 2 are made of polylactic acid. Using polylactic acid to make the upper mold component 1 and the lower mold component 2 ensures structural strength while making them lightweight and easy for personnel to operate.

[0040] In use, the first connecting seat 13 is fixed on the base plate, the first column 14 is connected to the first connecting seat 13, and the two first enclosure parts 12 are connected and fixed to the base plate through the first positioning groove 121 to enclose the first column 14 and the first connecting seat 13. Sand is added into the gap formed by the two first enclosure parts 12, the first column 14 and the first connecting seat 13. After the top cover 11 is closed, the entire upper component 1 is flipped over, and the base plate is separated from the first connecting seat 13 and the two first enclosure parts 12 respectively. Then, the first connecting seat 13, the first column 14 and the two first enclosure parts 12 are disassembled in sequence. The base plate is then placed at the bottom of the upper mold sand core and flipped over, thereby separating the top cover 11 from the upper mold sand core to form the upper mold sand core. The upper mold sand core is then heated and shaped.

[0041] The second connecting seat 22 is fixed on the base plate, and then the second column 23 is connected to the second connecting seat 22. Then the two second enclosure parts 21 are connected and fixed to the base plate through the second positioning groove 211 to enclose the second column 23 and the second connecting seat 22. First, the positioning block 24 abuts against the second column 23, and then the fixing block 25 abuts against the second column 23. Sand is added into the gap formed by the two second enclosure parts 21, the second column 23 and the second connecting seat 22. At this time, the sand also fills the receiving groove 243. Then the positioning block 24, the fixing block 25, the two second enclosure parts 21, the second column 23 and the second connecting seat 22 are disassembled in sequence to form the lower mold sand core. Subsequently, the lower mold sand core is heated and shaped, and then spliced ​​with the upper mold sand core.

[0042] In this invention, all components of the upper mold assembly 1 and the lower mold assembly 2 (such as the first enclosure 12, the second enclosure 21, the first column 14, the second column 23, the positioning block 24, etc.) are connected by positioning pins, which facilitates quick assembly, disassembly and maintenance, reducing production and maintenance costs. Key components such as the first column 14, the second column 23, the positioning block 24 and the fixing block 25 can be replaced independently without replacing the entire mold, thus extending the mold's service life. Gaps are formed between the two first enclosures 12 and the first connecting seat 13 and the first column 14, and gaps are formed between the two second enclosures 21 and the second connecting seat 22 and the second column 23, effectively forming a sand core mold. Fixing blocks 25 are set between adjacent positioning blocks 24 to form a staggered support layout for the second column 23. By adjusting the spacing or number of positioning blocks 24 and fixing blocks 25, different sizes or shapes of sand cores can be accommodated, improving the mold's versatility. This sand core mold achieves high-efficiency production and long service life through its modular disassembly structure and rigid support of double enclosures.
