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.
[0026] This utility model provides a sand mixer for casting automotive parts, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, the sand mixer for casting automotive parts includes a base 1, a sand mixing cylinder 2 fixedly installed at the upper end of the base 1, a cover plate 3 rotatably installed at the upper end of the sand mixing cylinder 2, a drive motor 5 fixedly installed at the right end of the base 1, a stirring shaft 6 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 5, multiple sets of stirring blades 7 circumferentially installed on the stirring shaft 6, a sand mixing tank 8 rotatably installed inside the base 1, an opening 12 is provided on the upper left side and the lower right side of the sand mixing tank 8, a discharge pipe 18 is provided on the lower right side of the sand mixing cylinder 2, a drive assembly is provided at the connection between the right end of the sand mixing tank 8 and the inner wall of the sand mixing cylinder 2, and a wall scraping assembly is provided inside the sand mixing tank 8.
[0027] Old sand, new sand, molding sand binder, and auxiliary materials are put into the mixing tank 8. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 drives the stirring shaft 6 and stirring blades 7 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring shaft 6 drives the mixing tank 8 to rotate through the drive assembly, which further improves the mixing efficiency when mixing old sand, new sand, molding sand binder, and auxiliary materials. At the same time, the wall scraping component can scrape the material on the inner wall of the mixing tank 8 to prevent material residue on the inner wall of the mixing tank 8 and improve the practicality of the sand mixer.
[0028] The drive assembly includes a first drive gear 9, which is fixedly installed on the right end of the stirring shaft 6. Multiple sets of first driven gears 10 are arranged between the right side of the sand mixing tank 8 and the right inner wall of the sand mixing cylinder 2. A first gear ring 11 is fixedly installed on the right side of the sand mixing tank 8. Multiple sets of first driven gears 10 are located between the first drive gear 9 and the first gear ring 11.
[0029] When the stirring shaft 6 rotates, the first driving gear 9 rotates accordingly, and through the meshing action of multiple sets of first driven gears 10 and the first gear ring 11, it drives the sand mixing tank 8 to rotate within the base 1, thereby achieving comprehensive mixing of the materials inside the sand mixer and improving the mixing efficiency.
[0030] The multiple sets of stirring blades 7 on the stirring shaft 6 and the inner wall of the multiple sets of sand mixing tanks 8 are all composed of arc-shaped plates.
[0031] This design allows the stirring blades 7 to better mix the old sand, new sand, molding sand, binder, and auxiliary materials in the mixing tank 8 when they rotate, improving the mixing effect and ensuring that the materials are mixed evenly.
[0032] The wall scraping assembly includes two sets of turntables 13, and two sets of scrapers 14 are fixedly installed between the two sets of turntables 13. The two sets of scrapers 14 are in contact with the inner wall of the sand mixing tank 8. A second toothed ring 15 is fixedly installed on the right side of the turntable 13 inside the right end of the sand mixing tank 8. A second driving gear 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the right end of the sand mixing tank 8. Multiple sets of second driven gears 17 are arranged between the second toothed ring 15 and the second driving gear 16.
[0033] When the sand mixing tank 8 rotates within the base 1, it drives the second drive gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the second drive gear 16 drives the two sets of turntables 13, the two sets of scrapers 14, and the second gear ring 15 to rotate through multiple sets of second driven gears 17. This scrapes the material on the inner wall of the sand mixing tank 8, preventing material residue on the inner wall of the sand mixing tank 8 and further improving practicality and mixing effect.
[0034] A climbing frame 4 is fixedly installed on the front side of the base 1, and the upper end of the climbing frame 4 is flush with the upper end of the sand mixing cylinder 2.
[0035] The elevated platform 4 facilitates staff to climb up and observe or repair the interior of the sand mixing cylinder 2.
[0036] The inner wall of the sand mixing tank 8 is in contact with the lower inner wall of the sand mixing cylinder 2, and the lower inner wall of the sand mixing cylinder 2 has the same arc shape as the outer wall of the sand mixing tank 8.
[0037] This design ensures a tight seal between the mixing tank 8 and the mixing cylinder 2 when they rotate, preventing material leakage.
[0038] The opening of the port 12 on the lower right side of the sand mixing tank 8 is aligned with the position of the discharge pipe 18 on the lower right side of the sand mixing cylinder 2.
[0039] After the sand is mixed, the material can be discharged through the opening 12 and the discharge pipe 18 for easy collection and use.
[0040] Working principle: In use, the drive motor 5 is first started. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 drives the stirring shaft 6 and multiple sets of stirring blades 7 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring shaft 6 drives the first driving gear 9 to rotate. The first driving gear 9, through the meshing of multiple sets of first driven gears 10 and the first gear ring 11, drives the sand mixing tank 8 to rotate within the base 1. At this time, the old sand, new sand, molding sand, binder, and auxiliary materials are thoroughly mixed and stirred within the sand mixing tank 8 by the combined action of the multiple sets of stirring blades 7 and the rotation of the sand mixing tank 8, improving the mixing efficiency. Simultaneously, as the sand mixing tank 8 rotates, it carries... The second driving gear 16 rotates, which drives two sets of turntables 13, two sets of scrapers 14 and a second gear ring 15 to rotate through multiple sets of second driven gears 17. The two sets of scrapers 14 scrape the material on the inner wall of the mixing tank 8, preventing material residue on the inner wall of the mixing tank 8, and further improving the practicality and mixing effect of the sand mixer. After the sand is mixed, the material can be discharged through the opening 12 on the lower right side of the mixing tank 8 and the discharge pipe 18 on the lower right side of the mixing cylinder 2, which is convenient for collection and use. The whole sand mixing process is efficient and uniform, and the structure is simple, easy to operate and maintain.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
