Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand-floating machines, and more specifically, to a tilting sand-falling type sand-floating machine for investment casting. Background Technology

[0002] In the investment casting industry, various types of sand are applied to a wax model containing slurry during the mold shell production process using equipment such as sand-sprinkling machines and flotation machines to form a mold shell. However, existing flotation machines have some problems: during operation, because the slurry is always in a semi-solid state, some slurry will fall into the sand when adhering to it, resulting in a lot of dry slurry with fine sand powder adhering to it. This dry slurry has a high specific gravity and will gradually fall to the bottom of the flotation machine, clogging the grid at the air inlet of the flotation machine and affecting the flotation effect.

[0003] Application CN 119035465 A discloses an automatic tilting and dropping sand-making machine for investment casting, including a base, a sand-making machine body, and a tilting mechanism. The sand-making machine body includes a sand box and a bellows that can be opened and closed. The bellows is located below the sand box and is connected to the base. The tilting mechanism includes a drive device and a rotating component connected to the base. The rotating component is configured to drive the bellows to rotate downward relative to the sand box under the action of the drive device to open the sand box at a preset angle, so that the material in the sand box slides down through the tilted bellows. It can also drive the bellows to rotate upward relative to the sand box under the action of the drive device to close the sand box, thereby sealing the sand box, feeding sand, and floating sand. This eliminates the need for workers to go to the bottom of the sand-making machine to take out sand and then lift it to the top of the sand-making machine to sieve the sand through a filter screen. This ensures that all the sand in the sand-making machine leaves the machine automatically, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the working environment for employees.

[0004] In the above-disclosed structure, the bellows is supported and installed by a rotating component on the side of the sand box, and can be flipped and adjusted for alignment. However, it lacks a rotating crossbar to hinge the bellows, so it cannot be rotated and adjusted for alternating alignment. This makes it difficult to clean and maintain the bellows, resulting in poor adaptability and insufficient stability, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
