Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting equipment technology, and in particular to a cooling system for a vibration motor used in casting. Background Technology

[0002] In the foundry industry, the sand removal machine plays a crucial role in separating the sand mold from the casting after casting. Its core component—the vibratory motor—is not only expensive and difficult to replace, but its stable operation directly impacts production efficiency. However, prolonged operation and heat conduction from the high temperatures of the castings upon removal from the mold often expose the vibratory motor to high temperatures. This not only exacerbates the motor's thermal load but also accelerates the aging of the internal insulation materials, leading to a rapid decline in insulation performance and severely affecting the motor's lifespan.

[0003] Due to its design limitations, the vibratory motor can only rely on inefficient natural air convection cooling. This cooling method is insufficient to meet the high-intensity cooling demands of continuous operation. While traditional water cooling methods have some effect, the harsh working environment of the sand removal machine poses a high risk of cooling medium leakage, which can pollute the environment and corrode the motor, affecting equipment stability and safety. Forced fan cooling, on the other hand, suffers from significantly reduced heat dissipation due to the enclosed location and poor air circulation of the sand removal machine.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, safe, and suitable cooling solution for the vibration motor of the sand removal machine to solve the various shortcomings of the existing cooling methods, ensure the stable operation of the vibration motor, extend its service life, and improve the overall efficiency of the casting operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cooling system for a casting vibration motor, addressing the problems of inefficiency, high risk, and unsuitability for enclosed environments in current vibration motor cooling methods.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention discloses a cooling system for a vibration motor used in casting, comprising a temperature control mechanism, an air supply mechanism, and an air blowing mechanism. The air supply mechanism includes an air source and an air delivery pipeline. The air blowing mechanism is disposed around the outside of the vibration motor. The air source is connected to the air blowing mechanism through the air delivery pipeline. The temperature control mechanism includes a controller and a temperature sensor.

The controller controls the amount of air supplied by the air source based on the temperature.

[0008] In one embodiment, the gas supply line includes a connected rigid pipe and a flexible pipe, with the other end of the rigid pipe connected to the gas supply source and the other end of the flexible pipe connected to the air blowing mechanism.

[0009] In one embodiment, the blowing mechanism includes a plurality of gas distribution pipes that are interconnected and arranged around the outside of the vibration motor.

[0010] In one embodiment, the gas distribution pipe is provided with a plurality of air inlets, which are arranged at intervals around the vibration motor and face the vibration motor.

[0011] In one embodiment, the air outlet is provided with a gas nozzle.

[0012] In one embodiment, the gas supply pipeline includes a connected rigid pipe and a flexible pipe. The other end of the rigid pipe is connected to the gas supply source, and the other end of the flexible pipe is divided into multiple branch pipes. The multiple branch pipes are connected to each of the gas distribution pipes. Each of the connected gas distribution pipes is arranged around the outside of the vibration motor and has an air blowing port facing the vibration motor.

[0013] In one embodiment, the other end of the flexible conduit is divided into three branch pipes, which are connected to the corresponding gas distribution pipes. The three gas distribution pipes are arranged around the three non-working surfaces of the vibration motor.

[0014] In one embodiment, the blowing mechanism further includes a base on which a plurality of gas distribution pipes arranged around the outside of the vibration motor are disposed.

[0021] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0022] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "end," "top," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a cooling system for a vibratory motor used in casting. The disclosed cooling system for a vibratory motor used in casting includes a temperature control mechanism, an air supply mechanism, and an air blowing mechanism.

[0025] The air supply mechanism includes an air source 210 and an air delivery pipeline 220. An air blowing mechanism is positioned around the vibrating motor 400. The air source 210 is connected to the air blowing mechanism via the air delivery pipeline 220. The temperature control mechanism includes a controller 110 and a temperature sensor 120. The controller 110 is connected to both the temperature sensor 120 and the air source 210. The temperature sensor 120 measures the temperature of the vibrating motor 400, one end of which is mounted on the sand removal machine 500 to vibrate and remove sand. The controller 110 controls the air supply from the air source 210 based on the temperature. As the "brain" of the system, the controller 110 receives signals from the temperature sensor 120 and processes them according to a preset algorithm or logic to achieve intelligent control of the entire cooling system. The temperature sensor 120 closely monitors the operating temperature of the vibrating motor 400, ensuring that temperature changes are captured accurately and in real time.

[0026] The air supply source 210, acting as a provider of cooling gas, can be compressed air, cold air, or other suitable cooling media. The air delivery line 220 is responsible for delivering the cooling gas generated by the air supply source 210 to the air blowing mechanism, ensuring that the cooling gas can accurately act on the housing of the vibration motor 400 or the parts that need cooling.

[0027] The air blowing mechanism is cleverly positioned on the outside of the vibrating motor 400, forming a surrounding cooling channel. When cooling gas reaches the air blowing mechanism through the air supply pipe 220, it is blown evenly onto the surface of the vibrating motor 400, carrying away the heat generated during motor operation, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0028] During system operation, temperature sensor 120 continuously monitors the temperature of vibration motor 400 and sends the monitored temperature data to controller 110 in real time. After receiving the temperature data, controller 110 calculates the required cooling gas flow rate or pressure based on preset temperature thresholds and control strategies, and adjusts the working state of air supply source 210 through control signals to achieve precise temperature control.

[0029] When the temperature of the vibration motor 400 rises to a level requiring cooling, the controller 110 instructs the air supply source 210 to increase the air supply volume or increase the air supply pressure, enabling the blowing mechanism to blow out more cooling gas to remove heat more quickly. Conversely, when the temperature of the vibration motor 400 drops to a safe range, the controller 110 will correspondingly reduce the air supply volume or decrease the air supply pressure to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and noise.

[0030] As described above, the cooling system for the vibratory motor used in casting disclosed in this utility model, by integrating an intelligent temperature control mechanism, a high-efficiency air supply mechanism, and a surrounding air blowing mechanism, enables real-time monitoring and precise control of the operating temperature of the vibratory motor 400. This not only ensures the stable operation of the vibratory motor 400 under long-term, high-intensity operating conditions, effectively preventing performance degradation or damage due to overheating, but also significantly improves cooling efficiency and reduces energy consumption and noise. Therefore, this system not only enhances the reliability and safety of the casting production line but also optimizes the production environment.

[0031] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the gas transmission pipeline 220 may include a connected rigid pipe 221 and a flexible pipe 222. The other end of the rigid pipe 221 can be connected to the gas supply source 210, and the other end of the flexible pipe 222 can be connected to the air blowing mechanism. In this case, the connection of one end of the rigid pipe 221 to the gas supply source 210 ensures a stable gas supply. Due to its rigidity and stability, the rigid pipe 221 can effectively resist pressure fluctuations generated during gas flow, ensuring the stability and efficiency of gas transmission. At the same time, the rigid pipe 221 is also easy to install and fix, reducing the risk of system failure due to pipe loosening or deformation.

[0032] One end of the flexible conduit 222 is connected to the rigid conduit 221, and the other end is connected to the air blowing mechanism. The design of the flexible conduit 222 makes the system more flexible and adaptable to different installation environments and space constraints. At the same time, the flexible conduit 222 also has a certain degree of elasticity, which can absorb and mitigate the vibration and impact generated during gas flow to a certain extent, protecting the air blowing mechanism and the vibration motor 400 from damage.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the air blowing mechanism may include multiple gas distribution pipes 310, which are interconnected and arranged around the outer side of the vibration motor 400. When the multiple gas distribution pipes 310 are arranged around the vibration motor 400, it is necessary to ensure that their connections are tight and unobstructed so that the cooling gas can flow smoothly between the pipes. These pipes can be installed using appropriate fixing devices to ensure that they maintain a stable position during the operation of the vibration motor 400. Simultaneously, to achieve precise control of the cooling gas, a flow regulating valve can be installed between the gas supply source 210 and the gas distribution pipes 310 to adjust the gas supply according to the actual operating temperature and cooling requirements of the vibration motor 400.

[0034] When the cooling system is started, cooling gas is first generated by the gas supply source 210 and transported to the gas distribution pipe 310 through a combination of rigid pipe 221 and flexible pipe 222. Subsequently, the cooling gas is evenly ejected from each gas distribution pipe 310, forming an airflow field surrounding the vibration motor 400. During this process, the intelligent temperature control mechanism monitors the temperature of the vibration motor 400 in real time and adjusts the gas supply and temperature according to the preset cooling strategy to ensure that the vibration motor 400 always operates within the optimal temperature range.

[0035] Furthermore, the gas distribution pipe 310 can be equipped with multiple air outlets 311, which can be spaced around the vibratory motor 400 and can face the vibratory motor 400. This not only ensures that the cooling gas can be sprayed more precisely and densely onto all parts of the vibratory motor 400, maximizing the cooling effect, but also improves the uniformity and efficiency of cooling. The precise layout of the multiple air outlets 311 allows the cooling gas to cover a wider area of ​​the vibratory motor 400, effectively eliminating cooling blind spots and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the vibratory motor 400 under long-term, high-intensity operation. At the same time, this refined airflow control also promotes more efficient energy use, reduces unnecessary energy consumption, and lays a solid foundation for the continuous and efficient operation of the casting production line.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a gas nozzle may be provided on the air outlet 311. This enhances the directionality and concentration of the cooling gas, allowing it to be sprayed more precisely and efficiently onto the key parts of the vibration motor 400, thereby maximizing the cooling effect and further improving the uniformity and efficiency of the cooling process. The precise configuration of the gas nozzle ensures that the cooling airflow can cover a wider and finer area of ​​the vibration motor 400, effectively eliminating any potential cooling blind spots.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the gas supply pipeline 220 may include a connected rigid pipe 221 and a flexible pipe 222. The other end of the rigid pipe 221 can be connected to the gas supply source 210, and the other end of the flexible pipe 222 can be divided into multiple branch pipes. These branch pipes can be connected to various gas distribution pipes 310. The connected gas distribution pipes 310 are arranged around the outside of the vibration motor 400 and have air inlets 311 facing the vibration motor 400. Specifically, the gas supply pipeline combines the stability of the rigid pipe 221 with the flexibility of the flexible pipe 222. The rigid pipe 221 ensures a stable connection with the gas supply source 210, while the flexible pipe 222 provides convenient end branching, allowing it to be divided into multiple branch pipes and precisely connected to various gas distribution pipes 310.

[0038] This layout not only optimizes the gas transmission path but also significantly enhances the adaptability and adjustability of the cooling system. The gas distribution pipe 310, arranged around the outside of the vibration motor 400, along with the air inlets 311 directed towards key parts of the motor, further ensures precise delivery of cooling gas. This design not only greatly improves cooling efficiency and uniformity and effectively eliminates cooling blind spots, but also provides strong support for the stable operation of the vibration motor 400 under high-intensity working conditions and extends its service life.

[0039] Furthermore, the other end of the flexible conduit 222 can be divided into three branch pipes, which can be connected to the corresponding gas distribution pipes 310. These three gas distribution pipes 310 can be arranged around the three non-working surfaces of the vibration motor 400. Specifically, the end of the flexible conduit 222 can be divided into three branch pipes, which can be precisely connected to the corresponding gas distribution pipes 310. This design allows the three gas distribution pipes 310 to be flexibly arranged around the three non-working surfaces of the vibration motor 400, thereby achieving omnidirectional, multi-angle, and precise delivery of cooling gas.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the blowing mechanism may further include a base 320, on which multiple gas distribution pipes 310 arranged around the outer side of the vibration motor 400 can be mounted. In this case, by introducing the base 320 as a support structure, the multiple gas distribution pipes 310 can be arranged orderly and stably around the outer side of the vibration motor 400. This design not only optimizes the overall structural layout of the blowing mechanism, improving its stability and reliability, but also facilitates the installation, maintenance, and subsequent adjustment of the gas distribution pipes 310.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the temperature control mechanism may further include a solenoid valve 130, which may be disposed on the gas supply line 220, and the controller 110 may be connected to the solenoid valve 130 to achieve precise control of the gas supply.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
