Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wax model cleaning devices, specifically a wax model cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Wax patterns are an important component of the investment casting process, and their surface quality directly affects the quality of subsequent processes. In the manufacturing process, aluminum molds are typically used, and wax is then injected into the molds to form a wax pattern. To obtain castings with high dimensional accuracy and surface finish, the wax pattern itself must possess high dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Therefore, wax pattern cleaning is a critical step in the investment casting process, and its cleaning effect directly affects the properties of the wax coating on the mold shell, ultimately impacting the quality of the finished casting.

[0003] Traditional wax model cleaning devices still have the following drawbacks in practical applications: the clean water in the rinsing tank will gradually become contaminated by the cleaning liquid, and the first rinse is often not enough to clean the wax model, thus affecting subsequent processes. On the other hand, the lack of a power device inside the tank leads to the instability of the liquid inside the tank, and the liquid cannot completely remove impurities and wax debris from the wax model, thus affecting the overall cleaning effect. Therefore, a wax model cleaning device is developed. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a wax model cleaning device, including a rotating cleaning mechanism and a flipping mechanism. A protective shell 2 is provided on one side of the support frame 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed inside the protective shell 2. The output end of the motor 3 is connected to a rotating shaft 4. The other end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to a small gear 5. The small gear 5 meshes with a large gear 6. The large gear 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning cylinder 7. A side plate 8 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A support plate 9 is provided on the side of the side plate 8 away from the cleaning cylinder 7. A rack 10 is fixedly installed on the support plate 9. A gear 11 is rotatably connected to the rack 10. A rotating connecting shaft 12 is connected to the gear 11. A connecting ring 13 is provided on the rotating connecting shaft 12. A fixed connecting ring 14 is provided on the connecting ring 13. A cylinder 15 is connected to the bottom of the fixed connecting ring 14. The cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on the support plate 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting ring 13 can rotate inside the rotating connecting shaft 12 and limit the rotating connecting shaft 12. One end of the rotating connecting shaft 12 is connected to a clamping ring 16. The clamping ring 16 is fixed to the outside of the cleaning cylinder 7 by a fixing bolt 17, so as to ensure that the clamping ring 16 can drive the cleaning cylinder 7 to rotate during the flipping process.

[0027] Specifically, the rotating connecting shaft 12 has a groove inside that is the same shape as the connecting ring 13. The connecting ring 13 is rotatably connected to the groove inside the rotating connecting shaft 12. One end of the rotating connecting shaft 14 is connected to a clamping ring 16, and a fixing bolt 17 is provided on the clamping ring 16.

[0028] It should be noted that the rotational connection between the rotating connecting shaft 12 and the connecting ring 13 is achieved by matching the shape of the groove and the connecting ring 13. This structure allows the connecting ring 13 to rotate inside the rotating connecting shaft 12 without loosening or falling off, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the flipping mechanism.

[0029] Specifically, there are two sets of clamping rings 16. One set of clamping rings consists of two semi-circular rings. One end of each semi-circular ring is hinged to the rotating connecting shaft 12 by a hinge, and the other end is fixed by a fixing bolt 17. The two sets of clamping rings 16 are sleeved on the outside of the cleaning cylinder and are located on the upper and lower sides of the large gear 6 respectively to fix the cleaning cylinder 7.

[0030] It should be noted that the clamping ring 16 can not only firmly fix the cleaning cylinder 7 with the fixing bolt 17 to ensure its stability during the rotation cleaning process, but also can rotate the rotating connecting shaft 12 through the cylinder 15 when it is necessary to flip, thereby causing the cleaning cylinder 7 to flip and realize multi-angle cleaning of the wax mold.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Based on Example 1, during the cleaning process, the water pump 19 draws out the hot water from the water tank 18 and delivers it to the nozzle 21 through the water pipe 20. The nozzle 21 sprays the hot water evenly onto the wax mold inside the cleaning cylinder 7. The hot water flows into the water storage tank 22 through the small holes on the cleaning cylinder 7 and finally flows out through the water outlet 23 on the support frame 1.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the support frame 1 is provided with a water tank 18, and a water pipe 20 is connected to the water tank 18. A water pump 19 is provided at one end of the water pipe 20 near the water tank 18, and a nozzle 21 is connected to the other end through the top plate of the side plate 8.

[0034] It should be noted that soaking and spraying the wax model with hot water accelerates the melting of residual wax and further removes impurities and wax debris from the surface of the wax model through the impact of the water flow.

[0035] Specifically, the support frame 1 has a water storage tank 22 inside, and a water outlet 23 is opened on one side of the support frame 1.

[0036] It should be noted that the outlet 23 can promptly discharge wastewater containing impurities and wax residue to avoid affecting the cleaning effect.

[0037] Specifically, the side plate 8 is inverted L-shaped, and there are holes on the side plate 8 that allow the rotating connecting shaft 12 to move up and down. A water pipe 20 is connected through the top of the side plate 8.

[0038] It should be noted that the hole provides guidance for the vertical movement of the rotating connecting shaft 12, allowing the rotating connecting shaft 12 to move smoothly up and down during the flipping process without any deviation.

[0039] Specifically, the water storage tank 22 inside the support frame 1 is lower than the support frame 1, and the cleaning cylinder 7 is located inside the water storage tank 22 during cleaning.

[0040] It should be noted that the cleaning cylinder 7 is always in the hot water in the water storage tank 22 during the rotation cleaning process, which ensures that the wax model can fully contact the hot water during the cleaning process, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0041] Working Principle: In practical application, the user first pours the wax model to be cleaned into the cleaning cylinder 7, tightens the fixing bolts on the clamping ring 16, and then turns on the water pump 19, causing the hot water in the water tank 18 to spray out from the nozzle 21 through the water pipe 20 into the cleaning cylinder 7. The hot water enters the water storage tank 22 through the small holes on the cleaning cylinder 7, effectively soaking the wax model and melting any residual wax. Then, the motor 3 is started, causing the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the small gear 5 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear 5 drives the large gear 6 to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning cylinder 7 to rotate in the water storage tank, further cleaning the wax model. After the rotation and cleaning are completed, the motor 3 is turned off. After the small gear 5 and the large gear 6 have completely stopped rotating, the cylinder 15 is started, and the cylinder 15 drives... The fixed connecting ring 14 moves upward, which drives the gear 11 to move upward and mesh with the rack 10. When the gear 11 rotates on the rack 10, it drives the rotating connecting shaft 12 to rotate within the fixed connecting ring 14 through the connecting ring 13. The rotation of the rotating connecting shaft 12 drives the clamping ring 16 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the cleaning cylinder 7. During the upward process, the nozzle 21 continuously sprays hot water to further clean the wax model. During the cleaning process, the hot water in the water tank 22 overflows after it is full and flows out through the outlet 23 on the support frame 1. After the cleaning and flipping are completed, the fixing bolt 17 on the clamping ring 16 is removed, the clamping ring 16 is pried open, the cleaning cylinder is taken out, and the cleaned wax model is poured out.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
