[0025] Research has revealed that in the field of complex casting (such as engine block) sand core manufacturing, traditional integral sand cores have the following defects: low exhaust efficiency, gas cannot be quickly discharged during pouring, resulting in a high rate of porosity defects in the casting; high manufacturing cost, the integral sand core must be scrapped after it is damaged, and the material utilization rate is less than 60%.
[0026] Therefore, in related technologies, the split-type core assembly process is often used for sand core manufacturing; however, the traditional bulk core assembly has poor core assembly accuracy, and the positioning deviation is 1.5-2mm when assembling multiple cores, which affects the dimensional accuracy of the casting.
[0027] Therefore, how to reduce positioning deviation during multi-core assembly is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0028] The defects in the above solutions and the reasons for their occurrence are the results of the inventors' practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventors' contributions to this disclosure.
[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0030] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a split composite sand core structure, including: a plurality of main cores 1 and side core plates 2 integrally formed by secondary sand blasting. To eliminate positioning deviations of the bulk sand cores, the main cores 1 and side core plates 2 are pre-assembled and then locked together as a whole by a secondary sand blasting process. The specific implementation steps are as follows: Pre-assembly stage: Multiple main cores 1 are arranged in close contact, and side core plates 2 are placed on both sides to ensure initial positioning. Secondary sand blasting and curing: Sand material (such as...) is injected through at least 5 sand blasting ports 10. Figure 2 As shown, after the sand material solidifies, it forms a non-removable integral structure. This design reduces the assembly error from the traditional 1.5-2mm to within 1mm, solving the problem of multi-core assembly accuracy. Reference function: This integral structure serves as a reference for subsequent sand core assembly, ensuring that all components use it as a reference, thus improving the overall core assembly accuracy.
[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 3 After pre-assembly with a connector, the water jacket core 3 and the door panel core 4 are positioned at both ends of the main body core 1 to ensure precise alignment under complex shapes. Pre-assembly process: A silica sol-based adhesive (0.1-0.3mm thickness, curing strength ≥5MPa) is used to bond the water jacket core 3 and the door panel core 4. This adhesive provides high-strength bonding, preventing loosening during casting. Structural setup: The pre-assembled components are fixed at both ends of the main body core 1. The upper side of the water jacket core 3 has a sand outlet 32 and an air vent needle 31 for subsequent venting. Implementation points: The adhesive thickness is strictly controlled to ensure a 0.1-0.3mm gap to balance bonding strength and venting requirements.
[0033] Reference Appendix Figure 2 The auxiliary water channel core 5, water jacket core 3, and top rod hole core 6 are all assembled with the main core 1 as the reference, meaning that the main core 1 is used as the reference object during assembly to reduce cumulative errors. The auxiliary water channel core 5 is installed on the surface of the water jacket core 3, with both ends abutting against the side plate core 2. It has air venting channels 50, with at least two air venting channels 50 connected to the sand outlet holes 32 of the water jacket core 3, forming multi-path venting. The top rod hole core 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the water jacket core 3 and connected to the door plate core 4 to ensure the stability of the mechanical structure. To prevent molten iron from clogging the venting holes during pouring, all connections are equipped with through-type venting channels, forming a continuous grid-like air channel. Reference Appendix Figure 3A first exhaust channel 40 is provided at the connection between the core of the door panel 4 and the core of the water jacket 3. A second exhaust channel 41 is provided at the connection between the core of the door panel 4 and the core of the push rod hole 6. A third exhaust channel 42 is provided between the cylinder of the main core 1 and the core of the door panel 4. Network connectivity: The first, second, and third exhaust channels 42 are interconnected to ensure that gas is quickly discharged from the inside of the sand core.
[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 5 A fourth grid-shaped venting channel 43 is added to the back of the door panel core 4 to increase the venting surface area; the venting channel 50 of the secondary water channel core 5 is connected to the sand outlet hole 32 of the water jacket core 3 to form a redundant path. Implementation logic: The gaps between all channels are designed reasonably (e.g., 0.1-0.3mm) to prevent molten iron from seeping in and to ensure smooth venting throughout the pouring process.
[0035] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
