Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting equipment technology, and in particular to a slag collection device for reducing inclusion defects. Background Technology

[0002] In the casting production process, controlling the quality of castings is crucial. An in-depth analysis was conducted on defects appearing in a localized area of ​​the casting. Preliminary assessment indicates that the causes of these defects are complex, primarily including secondary oxide slag from the molten iron, coating scale, and impurities inherent in the molten iron itself. The structural design of this area of ​​the casting has certain unique characteristics, which hinder the natural floating of the molten iron during solidification. Under the combined effects of gravity and fluid dynamics, inclusions in the molten iron cannot be smoothly discharged and easily accumulate at this point, further leading to aggregated defects in the casting and severely affecting its quality and performance.

[0003] Existing casting methods exhibit significant limitations when dealing with localized clustering defects in castings with such unique structures. Traditional casting processes and techniques cannot effectively address the accumulation of secondary oxide slag, coating scale, and impurities in molten iron, nor can they improve the flow and flotation of molten iron at this special structure by adjusting process parameters.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN205650771 U discloses a slag collection device for a gating system. The bottom of the pouring cup is connected to a sprue, and the bottom of the sprue is connected to a buffer pot. A runner is connected to the side of the sprue. The bottom of the runner is connected to the casting via an ingate. A certain number of slag-collecting bosses are added to the upper part of the runner to collect slag. During pouring, molten iron passes through the sprue and is buffered by the buffer pot, allowing it to enter the runner and then reach the casting via the ingate. Because the slag in the molten iron is lighter than the molten iron, it floats on top and is carried into the slag-collecting bosses on the runner, preventing slag from flowing into the casting and causing inclusions. The purpose of this invention is to collect slag and purify molten iron during pouring to reduce casting defects.

[0005] Therefore, the slag collection device of the gating system has the following problems: due to the special structure of the local boss area inside or near the casting body, such as dead corners, slow flow areas or local thickening, even if the gating system has been purified, secondary oxidation slag, coating skin and impurities from the casting process will still accumulate, causing the casting to have aggregated depressions. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a slag collection device to reduce inclusion defects, thereby overcoming the problem of aggregated depressions in castings caused by the accumulation of secondary oxidized slag, coating skin, and impurities in the casting process during the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a slag collection device for reducing inclusion defects, comprising:

[0008] A slag-collecting boss is located on the upper part of the outer mold of the casting system near the casting boss, and includes several slag-collecting sections for collecting impurities in the molten iron during the flow of molten iron.

[0009] Furthermore, the characteristic feature is that the cross-sectional shape of a single slag collection section is a trapezoidal structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the trapezoidal upper surface of each slag collection section is 76cm long and 16cm wide, while the lower surface is 88cm long and 22cm wide.

[0011] Furthermore, the feature is that a single slag collection part is connected to the cavity of the outer mold corresponding to the casting boss.

[0012] Furthermore, the feature is that several of the slag collection sections are arranged in a ring on the upper part of the outer mold.

[0013] Furthermore, the characteristic is that the height of a single slag collection section is 1 / 30 of the casting height.

[0014] Furthermore, the feature is that several of the slag collection parts are integrally formed and movably connected to the outer mold.

[0015] Furthermore, the feature is that several of the slag collecting parts are integrally formed and fixedly connected to the outer mold.

[0016] Furthermore, the feature is that the distance between two adjacent slag collection sections is 20cm.

[0017] Furthermore, the slag collection section is integrally formed with the outer mold.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention lie in its clever alteration of the flow path and accumulation area of ​​molten iron by adding a slag-collecting boss above the casting boss. During the pouring process, the molten iron, under the influence of gravity and its own fluidity, can float more smoothly to the slag-collecting boss. The slag-collecting boss effectively prevents impurities from remaining on the casting body. This fundamentally improves the quality of localized areas of the casting, significantly reduces the occurrence of aggregated defects, and increases the yield and quality stability of the casting.

[0019] Furthermore, by optimizing the casting structure and adding a slag-collecting device above the casting boss, the travel distance of the molten iron during its flow is increased. The molten iron flows along a longer path, allowing the slag more time and space to rise, significantly improving the quality of local castings, making the internal structure of the casting more dense and uniform, and effectively reducing aggregated defects caused by slag residue.

[0020] Furthermore, with the addition of a slag collection device, the molten slag can effectively float to the surface and be collected by the device, making it easier and more time-saving for workers to clean castings, significantly reducing labor intensity and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, by adding a slag collection device, the molten slag can be effectively controlled during the casting process. This method of controlling quality from the source greatly improves the product qualification rate and reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] This utility model provides a slag collection device for reducing inclusions, comprising:

[0032] The slag-collecting boss 1 is located on the upper part of the outer mold 3 of the casting system near the casting boss 2, and includes several slag-collecting parts 11 for collecting impurities in the molten iron during the flow of molten iron.

[0034] Specifically, the upper trapezoidal surface of each slag collection section 11 is 76cm long and 16cm wide, and the lower trapezoidal surface is 88cm long and 22cm wide.

[0035] Specifically, each of the slag collection parts 11 is connected to the cavity of the outer mold 3 corresponding to the casting boss 2;

[0036] Specifically, several of the slag collection sections 11 are arranged in a ring on the upper part of the outer mold 3;
