[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting deformation correction technology, specifically a correction tooling for solving the deformation of thin-walled square shell castings. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-walled square shell castings are metal parts manufactured through casting processes. Their main characteristics are thin walls and square shape. They are often used in applications where a certain load needs to be borne but there are requirements for weight and volume.

[0003] Currently, stainless steel thin-walled square shell castings are prone to deformation during investment casting, leading to dimensional defects, affecting CNC machining accuracy, and ultimately resulting in substandard finished products. Therefore, in actual production, it is necessary to correct the blanks of such castings to ensure that the dimensions meet the drawing requirements. Traditional solutions typically employ manual or semi-automatic correction methods, which are inefficient, result in poor dimensional consistency, and unstable quality after correction. Therefore, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the casting process, straightening fixtures are required. The straightening fixture provided by this utility model is specifically used for automated four-sided extrusion straightening of thin-walled square shell casting body 4 to ensure the straightening effect. In the process of using this fixture, pre-installation and other preparatory work is required to ensure the normal use of this fixture.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a straightening fixture for solving the deformation of thin-walled square shell castings, including a top plate 1, with extrusion blocks 2 fixedly installed on all four sides of the bottom of the top plate 1, a bottom plate 5 below the top plate 1, and correction blocks 3 on all four sides of the top of the bottom plate 5. The extrusion blocks 2 are configured with an extrusion slope 201 on their inward side, and the correction blocks 3 are configured with a contact slope 301 on their outward side. The extrusion blocks 2 and correction blocks 3 are adapted to each other through the extrusion slope 201 and the contact slope 301. An arched limiting block 302 is slidably sleeved on the correction block 3 and is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 5. Fixing blocks 303 are provided on the outward side of the correction blocks 3 and are fixedly installed on the bottom plate 5.

[0022] In this embodiment, a rod 304 is horizontally fixed to the outer side of the lower part of the correction block 3. The rod 304 is slidably inserted into the fixing block 303 at the corresponding position. A baffle is fixed to the outer end of the rod 304. A first spring 305 is sleeved on the outer end of the rod 304. The outer end of the first spring 305 is connected to the baffle. The inner end of the first spring 305 is connected to the outer side of the fixing block 303. A placement groove is opened in the middle of the top surface of the bottom plate 5. A casting body 4 is adapted to be placed in the placement groove. A connecting block 6 is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the top plate 1. A pressing block 601 is set below the connecting block 6. An elastic limiting structure is set at the four corners between the pressing block 601 and the connecting block 6. The pressing block 601 is adapted to contact the top surface of the casting body 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, limit bars 501 are fixed at the four corners of the base plate 5, and bar holes adapted to the limit bars 501 are opened at the four corners of the top plate 1. An installation assembly is provided between the top plate 1 and the base plate 5 and the template. The top plate 1 and the base plate 5 are respectively installed on the upper template and the lower template of the press. The correction fixture is installed on the press, and the casting body 4 to be corrected is placed in the fixture. The press moves downward, so that the correction block 3 on the fixture squeezes the casting body 4, thereby making the casting body 4 reach the predetermined size, realizing fully automated correction, which is convenient to cooperate with the press to accurately control the stroke, thereby accurately controlling the extrusion amount, making the dimensions of the casting consistent, eliminating unstable factors such as human error that affect quality. This fixture can efficiently and accurately correct such square shell castings and solve the problem of casting deformation. It should be noted that the press and the casting body 4 are existing technologies.

[0024] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly includes mounting holes 7 symmetrically opened on both sides of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 5. Mounting blocks 701 are fitted into the mounting holes 7. The mounting block 701 at the top position rotates downward to insert a rotating tube 702, and the mounting block 701 at the bottom position rotates upward to insert a rotating tube 702. A limiting vertical rod 703 is slidably inserted at the outer end of the rotating tube 702. A sleeve 704 is fixed at the outer end of the limiting vertical rod 703. A stop block 705 is symmetrically fixed at the open end of the sleeve 704. A second spring 706 is connected between the inner end of the limiting vertical rod 703 and the rotating tube 702. The stop blocks 705 stretch and press against the bottom surface of the top plate 1 and the top surface of the bottom plate 5, respectively. It should be noted that the sleeve 704 rotates synchronously with the rotating tube 702 and the second spring 706 through the limiting vertical rod 703. The second spring 706 plays an auxiliary locking role to ensure the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0025] Working principle: When using this fixture for calibration, the top plate 1 is fixed to the upper template of the press via the mounting assembly. As the press moves downward, the top plate 1 moves downward, and the extrusion block 2 follows the top plate 1 downward. The bottom plate 5 is fixed to the lower template of the press via the mounting assembly. Since one end of the calibration block 3 is connected to the first spring 305, it can slide freely. When the calibration block 3 is subjected to downward pressure from the extrusion block 2, it slides towards the center, thereby extruding the casting body 4. When the press descends to the predetermined stroke, the extrusion block 2 can no longer apply pressure to the calibration block 3 downward, and the calibration block 3 stops moving towards the casting body 4. The casting body 4 remains in the current extrusion state. After holding the pressure for about 10 seconds, the press is raised, the extrusion block 2 moves upward, the calibration block 3 is released from external force, slides outward back to the initial state, and finally the casting body 4 is removed, completing the calibration.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
