Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lost foam casting equipment technology, and more specifically, to a character mold device for quickly repairing characters on castings. Background Technology
[0002] In the lost foam casting process, on the one hand, the small structure of the characters makes it difficult to embed sand, easily leading to incomplete sand embedding and missing characters in the casting stage. On the other hand, due to poor sealing between the characters and the model body, the coating seeps into the gaps between the characters and the model during the coating process, resulting in missing characters in the casting stage. After missing characters are found, they are usually repaired by welding, which is not only inefficient, but also causes adverse effects on the physical and mental health of welding workers due to prolonged exposure to welding fumes. Furthermore, the welded characters have an irregular appearance, affecting aesthetics and creating a poor impression on customers. Therefore, this paper studies and improves the existing structure to provide a character mold device for quickly repairing characters in castings, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose.

[0036] Example:
[0037] Please see Figures 1-4 A type mold device for quickly repairing typefaces in castings includes a base frame 1 and a type mold body 2. A horizontal linear module 3 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the top of the base frame 1. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide on the horizontal linear module 3. The type mold body 2 is located on the top of the support plate 4. A mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1. A vertical linear module 7 is slidably connected to one side of the mounting frame 5 through two linear guide rails 6. A cutter head 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide on the vertical linear module 7. A lifting mechanism 9 is installed on one side of one of the linear guide rails 6.
[0038] See Figure 3 The top of the base frame 1 is fixedly connected to two guide rods 10 via a fixed seat. A moving block 11 is slidably sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rods 10. The top of the moving block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 4. In use, the support plate 4 drives the character mold body 2 to move smoothly through the horizontal linear module 3. With the guidance and limiting of the guide rods 10 and the moving block 11, the stability of the character mold body 2 during the processing is ensured, and the processing accuracy of the hollow character mold is further improved.
[0039] See Figure 1 Guide wheels 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slide block on the horizontal linear module 3. The outer periphery of the guide wheels 12 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rail on the horizontal linear module 3. In use, the guide wheels 12 can ensure the stable movement of the slide block on the horizontal linear module 3, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the tray 4.
[0040] See Figure 3 Guide wheels 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slide on the longitudinal linear module 7. The outer periphery of the guide wheels 13 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rail on the longitudinal linear module 7. During use, the guide wheels 13 can ensure the stable adjustment of the slide on the longitudinal linear module 7, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the cutter head 8.
[0041] See Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 9 includes a stepper motor 901 and a lead screw 902. The stepper motor 901 is fixedly installed on the top of the base frame 1, and the lead screw 902 is rotatably installed on one side of the mounting frame 5 through a bearing seat. The output shaft of the stepper motor 901 is connected to the bottom end of the lead screw 902 through a coupling. A slider 903 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the lead screw 902, and one side of the slider 903 is fixedly connected to a slide block on one of the linear guide rails 6.
[0042] See Figure 1 The cutter head 8 is located above the support plate 4.
[0043] In use: First, place the character mold body 2 on top of the support plate 4. Set the required size, shape, and other processing parameters of the characters through the external control system. After starting the device, the horizontal linear module 3 drives the support plate 4 to move the character mold body 2 along the X-axis to the processing start position. At the same time, the stepper motor 901 in the lifting mechanism 9 starts, driving the lead screw 902 to rotate, causing the slider 903 to rise and fall along the lead screw 902. Then, through the linear guide rail 6, the vertical linear module 7 is raised and lowered as a whole, adjusting the cutter head 8 to the initial processing height in contact with the surface of the character mold body 2. Subsequently, the vertical linear module 7 drives the cutter head 8 to move along the Y-axis. Combined with the X-axis movement control of the character mold body 2 by the horizontal linear module 3, the cutter head 8 performs engraving operations on the character mold body 2 according to the preset trajectory. Guide wheels 12 and 13 ensure the smooth movement of the slides of the horizontal linear module 3 and the vertical linear module 7, respectively, to avoid deviation during processing. After processing, the lifting mechanism 9 drives the cutter head 8 to rise and reset, and the horizontal linear module 3 moves the pallet 4 to the material picking position. The operator removes the processed hollow letter mold body 2 and attaches it to the missing part of the casting. The letter is repaired by filling with repair material. After repair, the appearance of the casting is neat and the font is clear, which saves production costs, improves efficiency, and improves the environment.
