[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] A polyurethane sieve plate casting device, combined with Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the system includes a workbench 1, on which an upper platform 11 and a lower platform 12 are arranged vertically. Two station slots 2 are spaced apart along the length of the upper platform 11. These station slots 2 are adapted to the outer contour of the mold 8 of the polyurethane sieve plate and are used to seat into the bottom of the mold 8, thereby limiting the position of the mold 8. A horizontally arranged translation drive mechanism 3 is provided on the rear side of the upper platform 11. An inverted L-shaped column 4 is provided on the translation drive mechanism 3, with its top extending above the upper platform 11. The inverted L-shaped column 4 is translated along the length of the workbench 1 under the drive of the translation drive mechanism 3. A casting mechanism 6 is provided on the inverted L-shaped column 4, which is used to cast raw materials into the mold 8 in the station slots 2. The lower platform 12 is equipped with a material tank 5 and two lifting mechanisms 7. The material tank 5 stores raw materials and is connected to the casting mechanism 6. The two lifting mechanisms 7 are located below the work station slot 2. The lifting mechanisms 7 are used to lift the mold 8 in the corresponding work station slot 2 after the casting is completed, so as to facilitate the staff to change the mold 8.

[0020] An infrared sensor is installed on the upper platform 11. The infrared sensor is used to monitor whether the mold 8 is in place, that is, placed in the corresponding work station slot 2.

[0021] The translation drive mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31 and a lead screw 32 horizontally arranged on the rear side of the upper platform 11. The lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the upper platform 11, and one end of the lead screw 32 is connected to a translation drive motor 33 mounted on the upper platform 11. The bottom of the inverted L-shaped column 4 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 32 and slidably assembled with the slide rail 31. When the translation drive motor 33 drives the lead screw 32 to rotate, the inverted L-shaped column 4 moves horizontally, thereby driving the casting mechanism 6 to move horizontally, so as to alternately cast the mold 8 in the workstation slot 2.

[0022] The casting mechanism 6 includes a casting pump 61 and a lifting telescopic cylinder 62 mounted on the top horizontal body of the inverted L-shaped column 4. The telescopic rod of the lifting telescopic cylinder 62 is positioned downwards and passes through the inverted L-shaped column 4 to connect to a casting pipe 63. The casting pipe 63 is horizontally positioned along the width direction of the upper platform 11, and several casting nozzles 64 are evenly arranged along the length direction on the lower side wall of the casting pipe 63, which are connected to the casting pipe 63. The casting nozzles 64 are used to align with the mold 8, thereby injecting raw materials into the mold 8. Before casting, the height of the casting nozzles 64 is adjusted by the lifting telescopic cylinder 62 to adjust to a suitable casting height. The inlet of the casting pump 61 is connected to a feed pipe that penetrates into the bottom of the material tank 5, and the outlet of the casting pump 61 is connected to a discharge pipe that is connected to the casting pipe 63. The casting pump 61 pumps the raw materials in the material tank 5 into the casting pipe 63 and injects them into the mold 8 through the casting nozzles 64. Meanwhile, a flow meter is installed on the discharge pipe. The flow meter is used to monitor the flow rate of the raw material pumped into the casting pipe 63. The completion of the casting can be controlled according to the value monitored by the flow meter.

[0023] Guide rods 65 are erected at both ends of the top of the casting pipe 63. The top of the guide rods 65 passes through the top horizontal part of the inverted L-shaped column 4 and is slidably assembled with it. During the lifting and telescopic cylinder 62 driving the casting pipe 63 to rise and fall, the guide rods 65 can guide the movement, thereby ensuring smooth lifting and falling.

[0024] The work station slot 2 is provided with several longitudinally penetrating lifting guide holes 21 through the upper platform 11. Specifically, the lifting guide holes 21 are provided at the four corners and the middle of the work station slot 2.

[0025] The lifting mechanism 7 includes a lifting drive cylinder 71 mounted on the lower platform 12. The telescopic rod of the lifting drive cylinder 71 is positioned upwards and connected to a horizontally positioned push plate 72. Several push rods 73, corresponding one-to-one with each lifting guide hole 21, are erected on the upper surface of the push plate 72, with the tops of the push rods 73 passing through the corresponding lifting guide holes 21. After pouring is completed, the lifting drive cylinder 71 under the corresponding workstation slot 2 lifts the push plate 72. The push plate 72 drives each push rod 73 through each lifting guide hole 21 to smoothly lift the mold 8, thus facilitating mold 8 replacement by operators. Simultaneously, an anti-slip pad 74 is provided on the top of the push rod 73. The anti-slip pad 74 directly contacts the mold 8, and its upper surface in contact with the mold 8 has anti-slip textures for protection.

[0026] The device also includes a PLC controller. The input terminals of the PLC controller are connected to the output terminals of the infrared sensor and the flow meter, respectively. The output terminals of the PLC controller are connected to the controlled terminals of the translation drive mechanism 3, the pouring mechanism 6, and the lifting mechanism 7, respectively, specifically to the controlled terminals of the translation drive motor 33, the pouring pump 61, the lifting telescopic cylinder 62, and the lifting drive cylinder 71. During the use of the device, the pouring process is automatically controlled by the PLC controller.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] Two molds 8 are placed into the two workstation slots 2 of the upper platform 11 respectively. After the infrared sensor detects that the molds 8 are in place, it sends a signal to the PLC controller to confirm that the molds 8 are fixed.

[0029] The PLC controller starts the translation drive motor 33, which drives the lead screw 32 to rotate, causing the inverted L-shaped column 4 to move along the slide rail 31 to above the first mold 8; the lifting telescopic cylinder 62 drives the pouring pipe 63 to descend to the pouring height of the mold 8.

[0030] The casting pump 61 draws raw material from the material tank 5 and delivers it to the casting pipe 63 through the discharge pipe. The flow meter monitors the flow rate in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller adjusts the speed of the casting pump 61 according to the preset flow rate value. The raw material is evenly injected into the cavity of the mold 8 through multiple casting nozzles 64. During the injection process, the translation drive mechanism 3 drives the inverted L-shaped column 4 to move the entire casting mechanism 6.

[0031] After the pouring is completed, the PLC controller controls the lifting drive cylinder 71 to start, the push plate 72 drives the push rod 73 to lift upward, the anti-slip pad 74 contacts the bottom of the mold 8 and lifts it to the preset height, and the manual can easily take the mold 8 out of the station slot 2 and replace it with a new mold 8.

[0032] While the first mold 8 is being lifted, the translation drive mechanism 3 moves the inverted L-shaped column 4 to above the second mold 8, repeating the above pouring process to achieve alternating operation of the two workstations 2.
