Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refractory material production technology, and specifically relates to a hollow refractory preform anti-settlement casting mold. Background Technology
[0002] Casting is a very common production method in refractory material production and construction. Due to its flexible construction and simple production process, it has been widely adopted in major steel mills and refractory plants. Subsequent refractory material development has also mainly focused on casting systems, and most refractory components have gradually replaced the traditional machine-pressed production process.
[0003] Casting is generally divided into two types: direct casting on-site and casting using precast molds. Direct casting on-site involves mixing the castable refractory material at the steel plant construction site using a mixer, pouring it into the required location, and then completing the casting operation through gravity flow or manual assisted spreading. After natural curing, drying, and baking, it is ready for use. This method is generally used in larger construction projects such as the permanent and working linings of steel ladles. Casting using precast molds is generally completed at the refractory material production plant. The castable refractory material is mixed in a mixer, poured into a pre-prepared mold to create the desired specific shape, and then the production is completed through processes such as vibration degassing, natural curing, demolding, and baking.
[0004] Vibration is a crucial production process. Its purpose is to use vibration at a specific frequency to cause relative displacement of the particles, fine powder, and slurry within the castable, allowing for thorough mixing and promoting the upward movement of air bubbles to expel excess gas and increase the density of the castable. This process is typically performed simultaneously with the pouring stage. Current vibration processes involve placing the mold on a vibrating table and simultaneously pouring clay into the mold while the table vibrates back and forth. Since the vibrating table is at the bottom of the mold, bottom vibration primarily transmits energy through vertical vibration, causing the particles in the material to rearrange and expel gas. However, due to the large mass of large particles, they are accelerated downwards by inertia, easily leading to bottom accumulation. Fine powder and slurry rise upwards, ultimately causing overall particle segregation in the preform. After demolding, large areas of holes are frequently found on the sidewalls of the preform, severely affecting the product's appearance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a casting mold for preventing settlement of hollow refractory preforms, thereby reducing surface defects of preforms and improving product quality.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A hollow refractory precast anti-settlement casting mold includes a base plate, a first side wall, a second side wall, a pressure plate, a mold core, a central positioning rod, and a vibration motor. The mold core is located in the middle of the base plate. The outer periphery of the mold core has two interconnected side walls. The inner surfaces of the first and second side walls are tapered. The bottoms of the first and second side walls engage with the positioning protrusions on the base plate. The top of the mold core is pressed against the pressure plate. The central positioning rod passes through the center of the pressure plate and the mold core and is detachably connected to the base plate. The two ends of the pressure plate are pressed against the tops of the first and second side walls, respectively. The base plate, the mold core, and the first and second side walls form a casting cavity. Multiple vibration motors are symmetrically or evenly arranged outside the first and second side walls.
[0008] The base plate has a protrusion that engages with a groove at the bottom of the mold core.
[0009] The positioning protrusion is arranged in a ring shape.
[0010] The outer surface of the positioning protrusion is a slope.
[0011] The first sidewall and the second sidewall are bolted together.
[0012] The taper of the inner surfaces of sidewall one and sidewall two is 1-3°.
[0013] The central positioning rod is connected to the base plate via a threaded connection.
[0014] The vibration motor is connected to side wall one or side wall two via a motor connecting plate.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention features a vibration motor on the mold sidewall that generates its own vibration. In use, it works in conjunction with a vibration table to provide multi-directional vibration. This not only improves the efficiency of mud homogenization and air removal, but also alters the movement trajectory of large particles, mitigating particle settling caused by traditional unidirectional vibration and significantly improving the internal quality of the product. Simultaneously, the tapered inner sidewall of the mold facilitates the removal of air bubbles, reducing porosity defects on the surface of the preform and improving the product's external appearance.
