[0037] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a sand mold reinforcement structure for low-pressure casting, including a box body 1. The box body 1 is placed on top of the casting base plate 2 and fitted over the outside of the sand mold 3 for external support and reinforcement of the sand mold 3.
[0039] The housing 1 includes baffles 11 on the front and rear sides of the sand mold 3, and hanging plates 12 and pull rods 13 on the left and right sides of the sand mold 3. The baffles 11 have multiple first through holes 1101 spaced apart along the left-right direction on their sides for the pull rods 13 to pass through. After passing through the first through holes 1101, the pull rods 13 are pinned to the baffles 11 by through pins 14. The hanging plates 12 are attached to the side of the pull rods 13 closest to the sand mold 3, and together with the baffles 11 and the sand mold 3, they form a closed cavity filled with self-hardening sand to enhance the overall strength of the sand mold 3.
[0040] In practical applications, the combination of box 1 and self-hardening sand structure reinforces the outer perimeter of sand mold 3, preventing aluminum liquid from splashing during casting and improving the safety of the casting process.
[0041] Furthermore, because the baffle 11 has multiple first through holes 1101 spaced apart in the left-right direction, the position of the pull rod 13 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual width of the sand mold 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall width of the box 1 and giving the box 1 an adjustable size function. This structure can not only adapt to various specifications of sand molds 3, significantly improving the versatility and applicability of the box 1, but also flexibly adjust the lateral filling thickness of the self-hardening sand according to the actual casting pressure, further enhancing the compressive strength of the sand mold 3, effectively preventing aluminum liquid leakage or splashing, and improving the safety and reliability of the casting process.
[0042] Furthermore, the pull rod 13 has multiple first pin holes 1301 spaced axially along its side. After the pull rod 13 passes through the first through hole 1101, a through pin 14 is inserted into the first pin holes 1301 on both the front and rear sides of the baffle 11. These two through pins 14 abut against the front and rear sides of the baffle 11 respectively, forming a front-rear limiting structure. This structure fixes the relative position of the pull rod 13 and the baffle 11, thereby making the box 1 without the hanging plate 12 have a frame-like structure. This allows the baffle 11 to be stably positioned on both the front and rear sides of the sand mold 3, facilitating the subsequent installation of the hanging plate 12.
[0043] These first pin holes 1301 enable multi-position adjustment of the connection between the pull rod 13 and the baffle 11. During operation, the width of the housing 1 in the front-to-back direction can be flexibly adjusted by inserting the perforated pin 14 into the first pin holes 1301 at different positions, thereby adapting to sand molds 3 of different sizes. This structure not only improves the compatibility of the housing 1 with various specifications of sand molds 3, but also allows for adaptive adjustment according to the actual casting pressure, further enhancing the applicability and stability of the device under different process conditions.
[0044] In addition, a second pin hole 1102 is vertically provided at the top of the baffle 11 for inserting a double-headed pin 15. The double-headed pin 15 is a columnar structure with a columnar protrusion in the middle part, forming a unique pin structure that is "thin at both ends and thick in the middle".
[0045] In actual operation, by inserting the double-headed pin 15 into the second pin hole 1102, the baffle 11 can be stacked in the vertical direction, thereby making the height of the box 1 adjustable and easy to adapt to sand molds 3 of different heights. This structure further expands the applicability of the box 1 and makes the box 1 more adaptable to the casting pressure.
[0046] In the above-mentioned reinforcement structure, the two ends of the tie rod 13 are tapered, which helps the tie rod 13 to smoothly pass through the first through hole 1101 on the baffle 11, reducing assembly difficulty and improving installation efficiency. It is especially suitable for flexible production lines that require frequent replacement of sand mold 3, and has good process adaptability and ease of operation.
[0047] In addition, the perforated pin 14 is inserted vertically into the first pin hole 1301, which makes the perforated pin 14 less likely to fall off, improves assembly stability, and prevents the perforated pin 14 from falling off due to vibration or other reasons during handling or use, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the housing 1 during use.
[0048] Furthermore, the pull rod 13 and the perforated pin 14 are fixed by magnetic force, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the perforated pin 14 after installation and preventing it from loosening or falling off due to external vibration during transportation or use, thus further improving the safety and reliability of the box 1 structure.
[0049] Specifically, both the pull rod 13 and the perforated pin 14 are rod-shaped structures made of ferromagnetic material. At least one end of the perforated pin 14 is embedded with a permanent magnet to form a stable magnetic connection with the pull rod 13, thereby achieving a fast and reliable fixing function.
[0050] In addition, anti-slip textures are provided on the side of the upper end of the perforated pin 14 to enhance the friction between the perforated pin 14 and the operating tool or the operator's hand, making it easier to insert and remove the pin, avoiding slippage during operation, and thus improving the safety and stability of the operation.
[0051] In the aforementioned reinforcement structure, the hanging plate 12 has a hook portion 1201 on the side near the tie rod 13. This hook portion 1201 has an inverted "J" shape and is hooked onto the tie rod 13 from top to bottom, enabling a detachable connection between the hanging plate 12 and the tie rod 13. Multiple hook portions 1201 are arranged in a matrix on the side of the hanging plate 12, effectively improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the connection and ensuring that the hanging plate 12 is not prone to shifting or falling off during use.
[0052] In addition, in practical applications, multiple mounting plates 12 are prefabricated, and the horizontal widths of the multiple mounting plates 12 are different, which makes it easier to match the installation requirements of the box 1 under different width adjustment states and improves the versatility of the device.
[0053] In the above-mentioned reinforcement structure, the side of the baffle 11 is provided with a relief groove 1103, and the relief groove 1103 is connected to the second pin hole 1102.
[0054] In practical applications, the clearance groove 1103 facilitates the smooth insertion or removal of the double-headed pin 15 into or out of the second pin hole 1102 by the operator, which significantly improves assembly efficiency and ease of operation, and is especially suitable for production scenarios that require frequent adjustment of the height of the box 1.
[0055] The method of using a sand mold reinforcement structure for low-pressure casting according to this utility model is as follows:
[0056] After placing the sand mold 3 on the casting base plate 2, two baffles 11 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the sand mold 3. Then, the two baffles 11 are connected and fixed using tie rods 13, ensuring the baffles 11 are stably erected on the front and rear sides of the sand mold 3. Next, a hanging plate 12 of appropriate width is attached to the end of the tie rod 13 closest to the sand mold 3. After attachment, the front and rear ends of the hanging plate 12 are tightly fitted to the corresponding sides of the baffles 11, forming a closed enclosure structure. Finally, self-hardening sand is filled into the cavity formed by the sand mold 3, baffles 11, and hanging plate 12, providing external support and reinforcement to the sand mold 3, thereby improving its overall strength.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
