[0002] The piston blank automatic casting robot is an automated device that uses a robotic arm to move along a guide rail, and in conjunction with a pouring spoon and guide tube, automatically and accurately delivers and pours high-temperature molten metal into a mold to form a piston blank.

[0003] According to the search results, the publication (announcement) number is CN203495198U, and the name is: Piston Casting Auxiliary Robot, which includes an actuator, a drive mechanism and a control device. The actuator is characterized by having a horizontal arm (1), a main seat (2) and a gripper (3). The horizontal arm is located at the upper end of the main seat and has guide rails on both sides. The front end of the horizontal arm is equipped with a gripper, etc. This utility model has the positive effects of flexible and accurate operation, improved production efficiency and guaranteed product quality.

[0004] The above technical solution has the following shortcomings;

[0005] The above-mentioned solutions have significant drawbacks in practical use: As a component that directly contacts the high-temperature molten metal solution, the surface of the pouring ladle will wear down after prolonged use due to high-temperature erosion and metal adhesion, requiring periodic replacement. However, existing casting robots and pouring ladles are usually connected by bolts, welding, or complex nested structures. When replacing the pouring ladle, operators need to use various tools for disassembly, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, seriously affecting production efficiency, but also prone to deformation and damage of the connection parts due to frequent disassembly, increasing maintenance costs.

[0029] This utility model discloses an automatic casting robot for piston blanks.

[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The illustrated automatic casting robot for piston blanks includes a robot assembly 1. The robot assembly 1 includes a movable connecting arm 2. The top of the movable connecting arm 2 is fixedly connected to a support arm 3 via an adjustment mechanism. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the support arm 3. A cooling protective sleeve 5 is rotatably connected between the two ends of the support frame 4. A pouring ladle 6 is inserted into the top of the cooling protective sleeve 5. Positioning plates 7 are fixedly connected to the side walls of both ends of the pouring ladle 6. Positioning ports 8 are opened at both ends of the top of the cooling protective sleeve 5. The positioning plates 7 at both ends are inserted into the corresponding positioning ports 8. A disassembly mechanism is provided between the cooling protective sleeve 5 and the positioning plates 7 at both ends.

[0031] A high-temperature resistant suction pump 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling protective sleeve 5. A high-temperature resistant suction pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the input end of the high-temperature resistant suction pump 9, and a high-temperature resistant delivery pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the high-temperature resistant suction pump 9. A delivery rotary joint 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cooling protective sleeve 5. The input end of the delivery rotary joint 12 and the output end of the high-temperature resistant delivery pipe 11 are fixedly connected. The output end of the delivery rotary joint 12 corresponds to the position of the pouring ladle 6. A control system 13 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the movable connecting arm 2. A first electric push rod 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support arm 3. The other end of the first electric push rod 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the high-temperature resistant suction pump 9. By using the movable connecting arm 2 and the adjustment mechanism, the position and angle of the support arm 3 can be flexibly adjusted, so that the casting robot can adapt to different work positions and casting needs, improving the flexibility of use. By using the insertion and cooperation between the cooling protective sleeve 5 and the pouring ladle 6, combined with the positioning plate 7 and the positioning port 8, the initial positioning of the pouring ladle 6 is achieved. The disassembly mechanism then... The design facilitates quick disassembly and installation of the pouring ladle 6, significantly shortening replacement time and improving casting efficiency. Utilizing a high-temperature resistant suction pump 9 in conjunction with a high-temperature resistant suction pipe 10 and a high-temperature resistant delivery pipe 11, it stably delivers casting materials, ensuring continuous casting. The designed conveyor rotary joint 12 allows for easy rotation and adjustment to correspond with the pouring ladle 6, or can be rotated away during ladle 6 disassembly without affecting the disassembly process. The control system 13 enables precise control of all components of the robotic arm. The first electric push rod 14 allows for adjustable angle feeding of the pouring ladle 6, facilitating casting at different locations. A cooling and protective sleeve 5 cools and protects the pouring ladle 6, effectively preventing deformation due to overheating, ensuring casting accuracy, and extending its service life. This design solves the problems of complex pouring ladle replacement connections, inconvenient replacement, and lack of effective cooling devices in existing piston blank automatic casting robotic arms, which lead to overheating deformation of the pouring ladle and affect casting accuracy and service life.

[0032] To increase distance adjustment, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a support chamber 15, a second electric push rod 16, and a first sliding opening 17. The top of the movable connecting arm 2 is fixedly connected to the support chamber 15, and the second electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support chamber 15. The top of the support chamber 15 has a first sliding opening 17, and the support arm 3 is slidably connected to the first sliding opening 17.

Second sliding ports 21 are provided at both ends of the top of the cooling protective sleeve 5, and adjusting levers 22 are slidably connected thereto. The side wall of 2 is fixedly connected to the wall of the limiting rod 19. The spring 20 is used to push the limiting rod 19 into the limiting port 18 to firmly limit the positioning plate 7 of the pouring ladle 6, preventing the pouring ladle 6 from loosening or falling off during the casting process, and ensuring the safety and stability of the casting operation. The adjustable lever 22 is used to overcome the elasticity of the spring 20 and make the limiting rod 19 disengage from the limiting port 18, which can quickly release the limitation on the pouring ladle 6, realize the convenient disassembly and installation of the pouring ladle 6, greatly improve the replacement efficiency of the pouring ladle 6, and reduce equipment downtime.

[0034] To ensure more precise casting of the raw materials into the piston blank mold and to improve corrosion resistance, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a guide tube 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pouring ladle 6. Both the pouring ladle 6 and the guide tube 23 are coated with a high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant alumina-zirconia composite coating. By using the guide tube 23 to change the outflow direction and path of the casting material, the material can be more accurately cast into the piston blank mold, improving the uniformity of casting and the molding quality. The high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant alumina-zirconia composite coating can effectively resist the corrosion of high temperature and casting material, protect the inner wall structure of the pouring ladle 6 and the guide tube 23, extend their service life, and reduce equipment maintenance costs.

[0035] To effectively control the temperature of the pouring spoon 6 and prevent it from deforming due to high temperature, such as Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the cooling protective sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to a cooling medium inlet pipe 24 and a cooling medium outlet pipe 25 at both ends. The cooling medium flows into the cooling protective sleeve 5 through the cooling medium inlet pipe 24, exchanges heat with the pouring ladle 6, and removes the heat generated by the pouring ladle 6 during the casting process. Then it flows out through the cooling medium outlet pipe 25 to form a cooling cycle, thereby achieving continuous cooling of the pouring ladle 6, effectively controlling the temperature of the pouring ladle 6, preventing it from deforming due to high temperature, and ensuring the casting accuracy and stable performance of the pouring ladle 6.

[0036] For ease of solution delivery and angle control, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, the conveying rotary joint 12 includes a support plate 26, and a rotary pipe 27 is rotatably connected inside the cavity of the support plate 26. One end of the high-temperature resistant conveying pipe 11 is rotatably connected to the input end of the rotary pipe 27. The support plate 26 provides support and a mounting base for the rotary pipe 27, ensuring the stability of the rotary pipe 27 during rotation. The rotary pipe 27 can rotate freely relative to the support plate 26, allowing the high-temperature resistant conveying pipe 11 to adapt to the rotation requirements of the pouring ladle 6 without affecting the material conveying. This ensures that the material can be smoothly conveyed at different angles and positions of the pouring ladle 6, improving the continuity and reliability of the casting process.

[0037] To avoid clogging the pipes, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the cavity of the rotating pipe 27 is provided with a high-temperature resistant and non-stick ceramic coating. The high-temperature resistant and non-stick ceramic coating has excellent high-temperature resistance and can withstand the high temperature of the casting raw materials. At the same time, its non-stick properties can prevent the raw materials from sticking and solidifying on the inner wall of the rotating pipe 27, avoid clogging the pipe, ensure the smooth flow of raw materials, reduce the amount of cleaning and maintenance work, and improve the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
