Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling equipment, specifically to a scalding-proof casting mold handling device used in small-volume gravity casting experiments when transferring preheated molds. Background Technology

[0002] In the casting alloy industry, material composition design and development are typically first validated in small-scale trials in the laboratory to compare the performance differences between new materials and raw materials. Generally, laboratory validation of aluminum alloy composition design uses gravity casting, and the custom molds used for performance verification usually weigh less than 50 kg. However, during the pouring of molten aluminum, the casting mold temperature is usually required to be 200-300℃, and the mold must be placed in a flat, spacious, and heat-resistant area around the melting resistance furnace to facilitate the pouring operation.

[0003] Currently, the limited operating space and mold size in laboratories make it difficult to apply commercially available material handling equipment. Therefore, after the molten aluminum reaches the pouring conditions during testing, personnel must wear protective gear, including face shields and high-temperature gloves, to move the mold from the heat treatment furnace to a designated area. This method has the following problems: personnel wearing high-temperature gloves still feel the intense heat when handling the mold; the thickness of the gloves reduces hand dexterity, increasing the difficulty of manual handling, and placing a significant physical burden on casting molds weighing over 10 kg; and a large distance between the heat treatment furnace and the smelting furnace in the laboratory exacerbates the insecurity and instability of this mold transfer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a scald-proof casting mold handling device, thereby enabling personnel to handle casting molds without contact, avoiding scalding, and transferring molds more safely, stably, and efficiently.

[0005] According to this utility model, a casting mold handling device for preventing burns is provided, comprising a base, a first guide rail, a lower rotating bracket, an upper rotating bracket, a second guide rail, a support column, a third guide rail, a slider, a fourth guide rail, support arms, and a control mechanism: the lower rotating bracket is connected to the first guide rail mounted on the base and can move back and forth along the first guide rail; the support column is connected to the second guide rail mounted on the upper rotating bracket and can move along the direction of the second guide rail; the slider is connected to the third guide rail mounted on the support column and can move up and down along the third guide rail; the two support arms are connected to the fourth guide rail mounted on the slider and can move along the direction of the fourth guide rail; the control mechanism is a human-machine interface panel for operation and movement, and motor servo mechanisms at the connection points of various related components.

[0006] Preferably, the anti-scalding casting mold handling device further includes: casters, a loading platform, an anti-overflow enclosure, and a push handle; the casters are mounted at the four corners of the base, and the push handle is fixed to one side of the base; the loading platform is mounted on the base; and the anti-overflow enclosure is arranged around the loading platform.

[0007] Preferably, the lower rotating bracket can move along the first guide rail but cannot rotate, while the upper rotating bracket can rotate 180° relative to the lower rotating bracket in the plane.

[0008] Preferably, the distance between the two support arms is controlled by moving them closer to or further away from each other along the fourth guide rail, and the two support arms can move up and down simultaneously with the slider.

[0009] Preferably, two of the casters are mounted closer to the push handle, and the two swivel casters are mounted in the opposite direction, both of which can be locked.

[0010] Preferably, the loading platform is made of cast iron with a flat upper surface that can be covered with refractory bricks.

[0011] Preferably, the overflow guardrail on the side closest to the guide rail has the highest height.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: during the mold handling process, personnel do not need to be close to the heat source or have direct contact with it, avoiding the risk of physical discomfort from high temperature and burns; the equipment is equipped with a loading platform, eliminating the need to set up a fixed pouring area around the melting furnace, saving space and making it more applicable; after the mold is transported to the loading platform, personnel can move the mold to the melting area by pushing the handle, making the whole process safer, more stable and efficient, and significantly reducing labor intensity.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a casting mold handling device, including a base 1, casters 2, a loading platform 3, an anti-overflow edging 4, a first guide rail 5, a lower rotating bracket 6, an upper rotating bracket 7, a second guide rail 8, a support column 9, a third guide rail 10, a slider 11, a fourth guide rail 12, a support arm 13, a pusher 14, and a control mechanism 15.

[0019] The lower rotating bracket 6 is connected to the first guide rail 5 mounted on the base 1 and can move back and forth along the first guide rail 5; the lower rotating bracket 6 cannot rotate, while the upper rotating bracket 7 can rotate 180° relative to the lower rotating bracket 6 in a plane; the support column 9 is connected to the second guide rail 8 mounted on the upper rotating bracket 7 and can move along the direction of the second guide rail 8; the slider 11 is connected to the third guide rail 10 mounted on the support column 9 and can move up and down along the third guide rail 10; the two support arms 13 are connected to the fourth guide rail 12 mounted on the slider 11 and can move closer or further away from each other along the direction of the fourth guide rail 12 to control the spacing of the support arms 13, and the two support arms 13 can move up and down simultaneously with the slider 11. After receiving the command signal from the human-machine interface panel 1501, the control mechanism 15 drives the relevant connecting components to move via the servo motor 1502 to transport the mold. Each guide rail can be a single guide rail or a double guide rail, and this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0020] The base 1 is equipped with casters 2 at its four corners, with two directional casters installed near the pusher 14 and two swivel casters installed in the opposite direction; the pusher 14 is fixed to one side of the base 1; thus, the entire device platform can be moved and stopped flexibly.

[0021] The loading platform 3 is installed on the base 1. The material of the loading platform 3 is preferably cast iron. The upper surface is flat to stably support the mold. Refractory bricks can be laid to meet the needs of different processes.
