Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of railway track wooden molds, specifically relating to an automatic detection and positioning tooling for turnout wooden molds. Background Technology

[0002] "Turnout molds" play a crucial role in railway engineering, particularly in turnout manufacturing. The core function of the turnout mold is to provide a precise physical prototype (master mold) that meets the process requirements for casting high-manganese steel turnouts. This prototype forms the casting cavity in the molding sand, ensuring the final cast turnout has the correct geometry, dimensional accuracy, and meets internal and external quality requirements. It is a critical bridge connecting design drawings and the actual casting, vital to the turnout's performance, lifespan, and operational safety. The precision of the mold is fundamental to ensuring that the casting's dimensional tolerances, surface quality, and the shape of key components (such as wheel flange grooves and rail top surfaces) meet requirements. A precise mold can minimize subsequent machining allowances in the casting, improving material utilization and production efficiency. Therefore, precise inspection of the mold is necessary during production. Currently, mold positioning relies entirely on manual operation, requiring frequent adjustments to maintain accuracy. Furthermore, with the widespread use of automated inspection methods, manual positioning is ill-suited to the current automated inspection processes. Summary of the Invention

The housing 3-7 contains a second motor 3-5 that drives the first bidirectional threaded rod 3-2.

The rear end of the clamping head 3-6 is embedded in the first sliding frame 3-1, and the front end extends out of the first sliding frame 3-1 to clamp the wooden mold to be tested.
