Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lost foam casting technology, specifically to a lost foam model storage bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Lost foam casting, a novel precision casting process, involves taking a model made of materials such as foam or paraffin that matches the size and shape of the casting, coating it with refractory paint, drying it, embedding it in dry quartz sand, and vibrating it to create the shape. Then, negative pressure pouring is used to vaporize the model, ultimately allowing liquid metal to occupy the model's position and form the casting. Lost foam models (made of foam) are fragile, easily damaged and deformed, and their surface coating is prone to peeling and sticking. High ventilation is required, and lost foam models often have irregular shapes, making it difficult for conventional storage devices to effectively hold the molds while maintaining ventilation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage bracket for lost foam casting models, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] A lost foam model storage support includes a base plate, a top plate, and support rods, wherein the base plate and the top plate are fixedly connected to the support rods;

[0005] The support rod is slidably connected to a slide plate parallel to the bottom plate, and the top plate is fixedly connected to a hand-cranked pusher, the pushing end of the hand-cranked pusher being fixedly connected to the slide plate;

[0006] The base plate is slidably connected to at least two clamping plates. The adjacent clamping plates are inclined to each other and have parallel sliding paths. There is a gap between the adjacent clamping plates. One end of the clamping plate is fixedly connected to a first spring, and the other end is fixedly connected to a first flexible plate.

[0007] The clamp is fixedly connected to a slider. The base plate is provided with a groove corresponding to the slider. A soft baffle is provided at the opening of the groove. The slider is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the soft baffle. During the sliding process, the slider will press the soft baffle to one side through the protrusion.

[0008] Optionally, the slide plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second flexible plate.

[0009] Optionally, the first flexible plate and the second flexible plate have anti-slip textures on the side away from the spring.

[0010] Optionally, the number of clamps is three.

[0011] Optionally, the flexible baffle is made of silicone.

[0012] Optionally, the slider is fixedly connected to a push rod.

[0013] Optionally, the push rod is also fixedly connected to one end of a third spring, the other end of the third spring is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a top rod, and the top rod abuts or inserts into the bottom of the base plate.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This device, through multiple separate clamping plates, can accommodate lost foam models of different shapes and sizes while ensuring ventilation.

[0016] At least two mutually inclined clamping plates with parallel sliding paths are slidably connected by a support base plate, with gaps between adjacent clamping plates to ensure ventilation. This design allows the clamping plates to adjust their spacing according to the shape and diameter of the lost foam model by sliding along a groove using sliders, adapting to lost foam models of different specifications and shapes. This addresses the problem of conventional storage devices being unable to effectively clamp the model while maintaining ventilation. Simultaneously, the inclined structure of the adjacent clamping plates generates an inclined clamping force from both sides of the model. Combined with the buffering effect of the first spring and the first flexible plate, this firmly confines the model between the clamping plates, preventing shaking or displacement during storage and transportation, ensuring storage stability, and reducing the risk of model tipping over and being damaged.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a lost foam model storage support, including a base plate 1, a top plate 3 and a support rod 2, with the base plate 1 and the top plate 3 fixedly connected to the support rod 2;

[0027] The support rod 2 is slidably connected to the slide plate 4, which is parallel to the base plate 1. The top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the hand-cranked pusher 5, and the pushing end of the hand-cranked pusher 5 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 4.

[0028] The base plate 1 is slidably connected with at least two clamping plates 6. The adjacent clamping plates 6 are inclined to each other and their sliding paths are parallel. There is a gap between the adjacent clamping plates 6. One end of the first spring 7 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first flexible plate 8.

[0029] The clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the slider 9. The base plate 1 is provided with a groove 10 corresponding to the slider 9. A soft baffle 11 is provided at the opening of the groove 10. The slider 9 is provided with a protrusion 12 corresponding to the soft baffle 11. During the sliding process, the slider 9 will squeeze the soft baffle 11 to one side through the protrusion 12.

[0030] With the above-described device, the bracket as a whole forms a basic support frame through the fixed connection of the base plate 1, the top plate 3, and the support rod 2. The base plate 1 provides bottom load support, the top plate 3 serves as a top limit, and the support rod 2 is used for connection and support. In one embodiment, the hand-cranked pusher 5 is a hand-cranked screw pusher. The above is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] By turning the handle of the hand-cranked pusher 5, the operator can drive the pusher end to extend and retract, thereby causing the slide plate 4 to slide up and down along the support rod 2. This allows for flexible adjustment of the height of the slide plate 4 to accommodate the storage needs of lost foam models of different heights. At the same time, the slide plate 4 can also provide auxiliary support for the model, preventing it from tipping over due to excessive height.

[0032] The model is clamped and fixed by the cooperation of clamping plates 6, first spring 7, and first flexible plate 8. The gap between adjacent clamping plates 6 is reserved to maintain ventilation; the operator can push the clamping plates 6 along the sliding path to adjust the position of the clamping plates 6 according to the size of the model. Each clamping plate 6 can be separated and operated independently to accommodate the shape of different irregular models until all the first flexible plates 8 are in contact with both sides of the model; the first spring 7 generates elastic force when compressed, pushing the first flexible plate 8 to fit tightly against the surface of the model. On the one hand, this achieves a stable clamping of the model and prevents the model from shifting or falling during storage or height adjustment. On the other hand, the first flexible plate 8 can prevent the clamping plates 6 from directly contacting the model, preventing excessive clamping force from damaging the lost foam model, and plays a buffering and protective role.

[0033] The slider 9 fixed at the bottom of the clamping plate 6 corresponds to the slide groove 10 on the base plate 1. The slider 9 is embedded in the slide groove 10, so that the clamping plate 6 can only move along the sliding path of the slide groove 10, ensuring that the tilt angle of adjacent clamping plates 6 remains unchanged. The soft baffle 11 at the opening of the slide groove 10 can not only provide static friction for the clamping plate 6 when it is stationary, preventing the clamping plate 6 from sliding uncontrollably, but also seal the slide groove 10 to prevent the model from getting stuck in the slide groove 10, causing damage to the model and blockage of the slide groove 10. When the slider 9 slides along the slide groove 10, the protrusion 12 on the slider 9 will contact and squeeze the soft baffle 11, causing the soft baffle 11 to deform and be squeezed to the side of the slide groove 10. After the slider 9 passes, the soft baffle 11 returns to its original shape and continues to seal the slide groove 10, thus realizing the safe and convenient storage of the lost foam model.

[0034] Optionally, the slide plate 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second flexible plate 14.

[0035] The second flexible plate 14, through the aforementioned device, can also prevent the clamping plate slide 4 from directly contacting the model, thus preventing excessive pressure from damaging the lost foam model and providing a buffering and protective function.

[0036] Optionally, the first flexible plate 8 and the second flexible plate 14 have anti-slip textures on the side away from the spring 7.

[0037] The anti-slip texture is used to increase friction and improve the clamping stability of the device.

[0038] Optionally, the number of clamps 6 is three.

[0039] With the above-mentioned device, the more clamping plates 6 there are, the better they can fit the different edge shapes of the irregular model, thus the better the clamping effect of the irregular model, but the more complicated the operation becomes; conversely, the fewer clamping plates 6 there are, the worse the clamping effect is, but the operation is simpler. Depending on different situations, different numbers of clamping plates 6 can be selected. Selecting three clamping plates 6 can perform preliminary clamping of various irregular models, and the operation is not too complicated.

[0040] Optionally, the soft baffle 11 is made of silicone.

[0041] Optionally, the slider 9 is fixedly connected to the push rod 15.

[0042] With the above-mentioned device, the push rod 15 can control the sliding of the slider 9, making the device control more convenient.

[0043] Optionally, the push rod 15 is also fixedly connected to one end of a third spring 152, and the other end of the third spring 152 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 151. The connecting plate 151 is fixedly connected to a push rod 153, and the push rod 153 abuts or inserts into the bottom of the base plate 1.

[0044] Through the above-mentioned device, such as Figure 4 The push rod 153 provides friction by abutting against the bottom of the base plate 1. When the push rod 15 needs to be moved, the connecting plate 151 drives the push rod 153 away from the bottom of the base plate 1, and no longer provides friction. When the push rod 15 needs to be limited, the connecting plate 151 is released, and the third spring 152 will drive the push rod 153 to press against the bottom of the base plate 1, and apply friction again.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
