Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of casting core-making technology, and specifically relates to an automatic sealing device for preventing sand leakage from a dry sand nozzle. Background Technology

[0002] In the casting process of diesel engine cylinder blocks, the hot core box process is widely used in the manufacture of sand cores with complex shapes and high dimensional requirements. Especially under the trend of lightweighting, the water jacket structure in the engine cylinder block and cylinder head exhibits complex geometric features such as thin walls, elongated shapes, and curves, which places higher demands on the consistency and strength of the sand cores. To ensure the compact formation of slender sand cores, dry coated sand is currently widely used for core making. This type of core sand has advantages such as good fluidity and excellent forming effect. However, in the actual sand shooting process, continuous sand leakage from the nozzle often occurs after sand shooting. Such sand leakage not only wastes core sand resources, but may also lead to contamination of the sand shooting area, accelerated equipment wear, and even problems such as surface deformation, dimensional deviations, and insufficient strength of the sand core before the next mold closing, thereby affecting the overall pass rate of the sand cores and increasing the scrap rate of castings and production costs.

[0003] Traditional sealing methods suffer from problems such as cumbersome operation, poor repeatability, incomplete sealing, and susceptibility to damage after long-term use, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern production that requires automation, high efficiency, and repetitive operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic sealing device for dry sand nozzles that can work automatically in conjunction with the sand-shooting process, has a simple structure, and provides reliable sealing, in order to improve core-making efficiency and product stability.

[0006] Furthermore, a stop is provided at the upper end of the reset rod extending outward, and a spring is sleeved in the reset rod, with the upper and lower ends respectively abutting against the stop and the sand baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, a stop is provided at the lower end of the top column, and the top column abuts against the upper side of the upper core box through the stop. The upper end of the stop can abut against the lower side of the sand-shooting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the nozzles are arranged in a ring around the sand-shooting plate, and the sand-blocking plates are strip-shaped plates arranged circumferentially corresponding to the nozzle positions.

[0009] Furthermore, the reset rod is located at the four corners of the sand baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the top columns are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the sand baffle, and the upper end of the top column is fixed with a connecting plate, and the two ends of the connecting plate are fixedly connected to the two sides of the sand baffle.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the sand-blocking column is a conical head, which contacts the sand outlet surface of the nozzle.

[0012] This utility model provides an automatic sealing device for preventing sand leakage from a dry sand nozzle. By integrating a top column, a spring reset mechanism, and a liftable sand baffle plate and sand baffle column, it achieves the following significant beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. It can automatically seal the nozzle to prevent sand leakage. The device uses the linkage between the top column and the upper core box to control the lifting and lowering of the sand baffle. After the sand is shot, the sand baffle automatically falls back, tightly sealing the nozzle and effectively preventing sand from continuing to leak, thus improving the cleanliness of the site and the service life of the equipment.

[0014] 2. The device has a simple structure, stable operation, and strong adaptability. The device is compact in design and achieves automatic switching between closing and opening through spring reset and mechanical top column control. No additional pneumatic or electric system is required, making it easy to integrate into the existing sand-shooting machine structure and adapting to nozzle arrangements of different sizes and layouts.

[0015] 3. It can improve the level of automation in core making, save labor costs, and, in conjunction with the automatic linkage of the upper and lower core boxes, shorten the overall core making cycle time, reduce labor intensity, and meet the requirements of modern, high-cycle production lines.

[0019] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed description of an automatic sealing device for preventing sand leakage from a dry sand nozzle.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an automatic sealing device for preventing sand leakage from dry sand nozzles includes a sand-shooting plate 9, on which several nozzles 2 are fixedly installed. A sand-blocking plate 4 is installed above the sand-shooting plate 9, and a sand-blocking column 3 is fixedly connected to the sand-blocking plate 4. A top column 7 is fixedly connected to the sand-blocking plate 4, with the lower end of the top column 7 extending through to the lower side of the sand-shooting plate 9. A reset rod 5 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the sand-shooting plate 9, and a spring 6 is installed on the reset rod 5 to connect to the sand-blocking plate 4. The sand-blocking plate 4 is pressed down by the spring force, causing the sand-blocking column 3 to press against the sand outlet of the nozzle 2. During sand shooting, the upper side of the upper core box 1 abuts against the lower end of the top column 7, causing the sand-blocking plate 4 and the sand-blocking column 3 to move upward synchronously and open the sand outlet of the nozzle 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lower end of the sand-blocking column 3 is a conical head, which contacts the sand outlet surface of the nozzle 2, thereby ensuring a tight seal.

[0022] The nozzle 2 is arranged in a ring around the sand-shooting plate 9, and the sand-blocking plate 4 is a strip plate arranged circumferentially around the nozzle position. The reset rod 5 is set at the four corners of the sand-blocking plate 4. The upper end of the reset rod 5 extends outward and is provided with a stop. The spring 6 is sleeved in the reset rod 5, and the upper and lower ends abut against the stop and the sand-blocking plate 4, respectively. The top column 7 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the sand-blocking plate 4. The upper end of the top column 7 is fixed to the connecting plate 8, and the two ends of the connecting plate 8 are fixed to the two sides of the sand-blocking plate 4. The lower end of the top column 7 is provided with a stop block. The top column 7 abuts against the upper side of the upper core box 1 through the stop block. The upper end of the stop block can abut against the lower side of the sand-shooting plate 9.

[0023] During sand injection, the upper core box 1 moves upward to the stop block at the lower end of the top column 7. The top column 7 drives the sand baffle plate 4 and the sand baffle column 3 to rise together, opening the gap between the sand baffle column 3 and the nozzle 2, and sand injection begins. At this time, the spring 6 on the reset rod 5 is under force. After sand injection, the upper core box 1 moves downward, and the sand baffle plate 4 moves downward under the action of the elastic force of the spring 6 and the pressure of the sand in the sand hopper. At this time, the gap between the sand baffle column 3 and the nozzle 2 is zero, blocking the sand and preventing it from flowing out.

[0024] This device effectively solves the long-standing technical problem of sand leakage from the nozzle after dry sand injection, improves the continuity, stability and product qualification rate of the core-making process, and has broad industrial application prospects.
