Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plug valves, and in particular to a crack-resistant plug valve casting device. Background Technology

[0002] A plug valve is a rotary valve with a shut-off element or plunger-shaped component. It opens or closes by rotating 90 degrees to connect or separate the passage on the plug with the passage on the valve body. During production, plug valves require casting equipment. However, plug valves are prone to internal shrinkage and cracking defects. The valve body has many ribs and numerous intersecting thin and thick walls, making it susceptible to internal shrinkage and cracking defects at these junctions. Furthermore, the difference between the thicker portion of the valve body and the wall thickness is significant, leading to a severe tendency for solidification heat cracking. As a pressure vessel, the plug valve body is prone to leakage during use, thus requiring high internal quality. Therefore, a crack-resistant plug valve casting device is particularly needed.

[0003] Currently, in traditional plug valve casting equipment, the valve body is fed into the sprue at a 45-degree angle. This causes the molten steel to enter the valve body unstably, making it prone to sandblasting and bottom shortening, resulting in more casting defects and affecting the overall quality and performance of the plug valve. Therefore, the cast plug valve needs to be further processed and treated to improve its crack resistance. However, this not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crack-resistant plug valve casting device to solve the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a crack-resistant plug valve casting device, including a riser 1, a plug valve body 2, an ingate 3, a horizontal sprue 4, a vertical sprue 5, a fixing mechanism 6, and a filtering mechanism 7. The bottom of the riser 1 is provided with the plug valve body 2, the bottom of the plug valve body 2 is provided with the ingate 3, one end of the ingate 3 is connected to the horizontal sprue 4, the other end of the horizontal sprue 4 is connected to the vertical sprue 5, the fixing mechanism 6 is provided inside the vertical sprue 5, and the filtering mechanism 7 is provided inside the vertical sprue 5.

[0021] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing bolt 61, a spring 62, a pressure plate 63, a push rod 64, a push block 65, and a fixing ball 66. The fixing bolt 61 is installed inside the sprue 5, and the spring 62 is installed on the fixing bolt 61. The other end of the spring 62 is connected to the pressure plate 63. The push rod 64 is installed inside the spring 62, and the push block 65 is installed on the outer wall of the push rod 64. The fixing ball 66 is installed inside the fixing bolt 61. With the arrangement of the fixing bolt 61, spring 62, pressure plate 63, push rod 64, push block 65, and fixing ball 66, when casting through the sprue 5, the push block 65 first pushes the pressure plate 63 downward. At this time, the spring 62 is compressed by force, and at the same time, the push rod 64 drives the fixing ball 66 to move closer to the inner wall of the sprue 5 until the outer wall of the fixing ball 66 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the sprue 5. At this time, the fixing ball 66 fixes the sprue 5, preventing the sprue 5 from shifting or deforming during the casting process, thus improving the stability of the casting.

[0022] Furthermore, the filtering mechanism 7 includes a filter shell 71, a mounting groove 72, a filter plate 73, and a sealing ring 74. The filter shell 71 is installed inside the sprue 5, and the mounting groove 72 is opened on the inner wall of the filter shell 71. The filter plate 73 is installed inside the mounting groove 72, and the sealing ring 74 is fitted on the outer wall of the filter plate 73. Through the arrangement of the filter shell 71, mounting groove 72, filter plate 73, and sealing ring 74, molten steel enters the filter shell 71 through the sprue 5 during use. At this time, the filter plate 73 filters impurities in the molten steel, preventing impurities from entering the valve body 2 of the stopcock valve, thus improving the casting quality of the valve body 2. At the same time, the sealing ring 74 improves the sealing between the filter plate 73 and the mounting groove 72, preventing molten steel from seeping out from the gap between the filter plate 73 and the mounting groove 72, further improving the stability of the casting.

[0023] Furthermore, the spring 62 and the pressure plate 63 form a telescopic structure, and two push blocks 65 are provided, which are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the push rod 64. Through the arrangement of the spring 62, the push rod 64 can drive the pressure plate 63 to perform stable telescopic movement when subjected to force, thereby ensuring that the fixed ball 66 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the straight sprue 5, improving the stability and reliability of the fixation.

[0024] Furthermore, the push rod 64 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the pressure plate 63, and the two ends of the spring 62 are connected to the pressure plate 63 and the fixing bolt 61 respectively. Through the arrangement of the push rod 64, the two fixing balls 66 can simultaneously approach the inner wall of the sprue 5, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the fixing and ensuring that the sprue 5 will not shift or deform during the casting process.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer wall dimensions of the fixing ball 66 match the inner wall dimensions of the fixing bolt 61. Two fixing balls 66 are provided and are symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the pressure plate 63. By setting the fixing balls 66, the fixing balls 66 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the straight sprue 5 when under force, which increases the firmness and stability of the fixation.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer wall dimensions of the filter plate 73 match the inner wall dimensions of the mounting groove 72, and the inner wall dimensions of the sealing ring 74 match the outer wall dimensions of the filter plate 73. By setting the sealing ring 74, the tightness between the filter plate 73 and the mounting groove 72 is improved, effectively preventing the leakage of molten steel during the filtration process, and further ensuring the quality and efficiency of casting.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple filter plates 73 are provided and are equally spaced inside the filter housing 71. Through the arrangement of the filter plates 73, impurities in the molten steel can be filtered multiple times, further improving the filtration effect of impurities and ensuring the casting quality of the plug valve body 2.

[0028] Working principle: During casting through the sprue 5, the pressure plate 63 is first pushed downward by the pusher block 65. At this time, the spring 62 is compressed by force, and the push rod 64 drives the fixed ball 66 to approach the inner wall of the sprue 5 until the outer wall of the fixed ball 66 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the sprue 5. At this time, the fixed ball 66 fixes the sprue 5, preventing it from shifting or deforming during the casting process, thus improving the casting stability. In use, molten steel enters the filter shell 71 through the sprue 5. At this time, the filter plate 73 filters impurities in the molten steel, preventing impurities from entering the valve body 2 of the plug valve, thus improving the casting quality of the valve body 2. At the same time, the setting of the sealing ring 74 improves the sealing between the filter plate 73 and the mounting groove 72, preventing molten steel from seeping out from the gap between the filter plate 73 and the mounting groove 72, further improving the casting stability.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
