Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting material weighing and mixing technology, and in particular to a casting material weighing and mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] Foundry materials mainly include molten materials such as pig iron, scrap steel, and recycled materials, as well as molding materials such as foundry sand. Among them, foundry sand, due to its good formability and permeability, can ensure the accuracy of the casting contour and the stability of the dimensions, and avoid defects such as porosity and shrinkage cavities inside the casting. Furthermore, foundry sand has high thermal stability and will not deform or melt during the casting process, thus ensuring the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the casting. It also has advantages such as easy demolding, low cost, and environmental friendliness, making foundry sand the most widely used casting molding material.
[0003] To produce molding sand, binder raw materials need to be added to the molding sand mixer in a certain proportion and mixed with sand to complete the preparation of molding sand. However, the existing molding sand mixer cannot weigh the raw materials when adding sand and binder, resulting in certain differences in the quality of different batches of molding sand. Therefore, a casting material weighing and mixing device is proposed to address the above problem. Utility Model Content
