Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sand removal devices, and in particular to a sand removal device for piston ring casting. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, piston ring sand removal is one of the important processes in the casting production process. It involves breaking the mold after it has been poured and cooled to a certain temperature, separating the mold from the sand, and separating the piston ring from the sand. For cast iron piston rings with larger wall thickness, a high-efficiency and flexible vibrating sand removal machine is generally selected.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN213997757U describes a sand removal plate device for a sand removal machine. It includes an outer shell with an upward opening and a sand removal plate body disposed at the opening of the outer shell. A crushing mechanism is provided in the lower inner cavity of the sand removal plate body, and a conveying auger is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity. A sand outlet is provided on one side of the outer shell, communicating with the inner cavity, and one end of the conveying auger is located at the sand outlet. However, in actual use, the following problems still exist:

[0004] In a vibratory sand casting machine, the mixture of piston rings and molding sand is vibrated by a vibrating motor to dislodge the molding sand from the piston rings. The molding sand is then screened into the sand casting box through a sieve plate, leaving the piston rings above the vibratory sand casting machine. However, the molding sand used to cast piston rings becomes sticky when it comes into contact with high-temperature molten steel, and it adheres to the piston rings. During the vibratory sand casting process, some of the molding sand adhering to the piston rings cannot directly contact the vibratory sand casting machine and only indirectly transmits vibration through the piston rings. As a result, some of the molding sand still adheres to the piston rings, leading to low sand casting efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, a piston ring casting sand removal device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and provide a piston ring casting sand removal device.

The groove on the sieve plate on the support column corresponds to the position of the protrusion on the adjacent support columns on both sides, and the length of the groove on the sieve plate on the support column corresponds to the length of the protrusion on the adjacent support columns on both sides. The sieve plate is provided in the groove, and the two ends of the sieve plate are respectively in contact with the two adjacent protrusions.

[0010] The sliding component is a sliding block. The side of the protrusion is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding end of the sliding block is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the protrusion. The fixed end of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the side of the sieve plate.

[0011] The sliding groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the arc-shaped axes of the two sliding grooves on the two protrusions on both sides of the screen plate are collinear. The sliding end of the sliding block is arc-shaped, and the axis of the arc-shaped sliding end of the sliding block is collinear with the axis of the arc-shaped sliding groove.

[0012] The sieve plate has a rotating shaft in the groove. The two ends of the rotating shaft are fixedly connected to the protrusions adjacent to the two ends of the rotating shaft.

The piston rings inside the sand removal box tumble, allowing the molding sand adhering to the piston rings to directly contact the vibrating screen plate. This direct contact makes it easier for the molding sand adhering to the piston rings to detach, avoiding the low cleanliness caused by some molding sand not contacting the vibrating screen plate, thus improving sand removal efficiency. Two adjacent screen plates swing up and down alternately, using the squeezing force between the two screen plates to crush clumps of molding sand or remove molding sand adhering to the piston rings, further improving sand removal efficiency. The secondary vibration generated by the cooperation of the screen plate and the impact column prevents screen hole clogging, further improving sand removal efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, a piston ring casting sand removal device includes a sand removal machine base 1, a sand removal box 2, a vibrating motor 3, and a fixed bracket 4.

[0032] like Figure 6-9 As shown, the sliding groove 11 is an arc-shaped groove, and the arc-shaped axes of the two sliding grooves 11 on the two adjacent sieve plates 6 on both sides of the protrusion 8 are collinear. The sliding end of the sliding block 10 is arc-shaped, and the axis of the arc-shaped sliding end of the sliding block 10 is collinear with the axis of the arc-shaped sliding groove 11.

[0033] like Figure 6-9As shown, a rotating shaft 12 is provided in the groove 9 of the sieve plate. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are fixedly connected to the protrusions 8 adjacent to the two ends of the rotating shaft 12.

The lower surface of the fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the impact column 15, and the bottom end of the impact column 15 is in contact with the screen plate 6.

[0035] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the screen hole anti-clogging component includes a fixing plate 14 and an impact column 15. The fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the supporting bottom column 7, and the fixing plate 14 is located below the screen plate 6. The upper surface of the fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the impact column 15, and the top end of the impact column 15 is in contact with the screen plate 6.

[0036] The work process is as follows:

[0037] S1, during use, start the vibration motor 3. The vibration motor 3 transmits the generated vibration to the oscillating shearing sand cleaning and screening component through the sand removal machine base 1, sand removal box 2, fixed bracket 4, and support column 5. The mixture of piston rings and molding sand that need to be removed is put into the sand removal box 2, so that the mixture vibrates in the oscillating shearing sand cleaning and screening component. The dislodged molding sand falls into the bottom of the sand removal box 2 through the screen plate 6. At the same time as the vibration is transmitted, the screen plate 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 12 between the two protrusions 8 in the screen plate groove 9. The sliding block 10 and the sliding groove 11 are both set in an arc shape and are in line with the... The axes of the rotating shaft 12 are collinear. While the sliding block 10 on the side of the screen plate 6 slides in the sliding groove 11, it rotates around the rotating shaft 12, causing the two sides of the screen plate 6 to swing up and down while vibrating. The piston ring in the sand drop box 2 flips in the sand drop box 2, so that the molding sand adhering to the piston ring directly contacts the vibrating screen plate 6. By directly contacting the vibrating screen plate 6, the molding sand adhering to the piston ring is more easily detached, avoiding the low degree of cleaning of molding sand adhering to the piston ring caused by some molding sand not contacting the vibrating screen plate 6, thereby improving the efficiency of sand drop.

[0038] S2, the two adjacent screen plates 6 swing up and down alternately when swinging. The molding sand on the piston ring between the two screen plates 6 is squeezed by the two screen plates 6, making it easier for the molding sand adhering to the piston ring to fall off. At the same time, when the clump of molding sand is squeezed between the two screen plates 6, the clump of molding sand is squeezed out. The squeezed molding sand falls into the sand drop box 2 through the screen plate 6, which further improves the efficiency of sand drop.

[0039] S3, when the sieve plate 6 swings, it impacts the impact column 15 on the fixed plate 14. The inertia of the sieve plate 6 generates vibration. When the sieve plate 6 impacts the lower impact column 15, the vibration generated by inertia causes large pieces of molding sand that are blocked on the sieve holes of the sieve plate 6 to bounce up, thus preventing large pieces of molding sand from blocking the sieve holes. When the sieve plate 6 impacts the upper impact column 15, the vibration generated by inertia causes small pieces of molding sand that are adhered to the sieve holes of the sieve plate 6 to fall into the bottom of the sand drop box 2, thus preventing small pieces of molding sand from blocking the sieve holes and improving the sand drop efficiency.

[0040] Both the sliding block 10 and the sliding groove 11 are set in an arc shape and their axes are collinear, which can already form a swing. The addition of the rotating shaft 12 further improves the stability of the swing. Without the rotating shaft 12, the sliding block 10 and the sliding groove 11 can also be set as conventional vertical sliding groove 11 and sliding block 10. The screen plate 6 moves up and down in the sand drop box 2 while vibrating. The two adjacent screen plates 6 can also produce the above-mentioned effect of flipping piston rings and squeezing molding sand.

[0041] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art. Although this utility model has been specifically shown and introduced in conjunction with preferred embodiments, there are many methods and approaches to implement this technical solution. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. However, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail can be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined by the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the protection scope of this utility model.
