Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sandblasting technology, and more specifically, it relates to a sandblasting device for the production of metal castings. Background Technology

[0002] Castings are metal parts formed by injecting molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. Due to their flexible shape design capabilities and wide adaptability, they occupy an important position in industrial production. Currently, in the production and processing of metal castings, the surface structure of the solidified castings is relatively rough. To improve the surface roughness, workers typically wear protective gloves and hold the gun head of a sandblasting machine in a sandblasting box to perform sandblasting operations. However, in the actual sandblasting process, because the metal castings are placed directly on the sand-filtering screen in the sandblasting box, it is difficult for sandblasting operators to move the castings horizontally and rotate them to adjust the sandblasting when changing the sandblasting surface for larger castings. This makes it difficult for sandblasting operators outside the sandblasting box to observe the overall sandblasting process of the metal casting surface. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a sandblasting device for metal casting production, including a base plate 1; a control unit 2 is installed on the upper side of the base plate 1, a sand-leaking box 3 is welded to the front side of the base plate 1, a sandblasting machine 6 is installed on the rear side of the sand-leaking box 3, a sand conveying pipe 23 is installed on the bottom sandblasting valve of the sandblasting machine 6, and a sandblasting gun 24 is installed at the other end of the sand conveying pipe 23; it also includes a sandblasting box 9 and a pressure rod 14; the sand-leaking box 3 is bolted to the lower side of the sandblasting box 9, a through groove is provided on the front side of the sand-leaking box 3, a sand storage box 4 is inserted into the through groove of the sand-leaking box 3, and a pull rod 5 is welded to the front side of the sand storage box 4. A control panel 10 is installed at the center of the front side of the sandblasting box 9. A cover plate 7 is hinged to the top of the sandblasting box 9. A through groove is provided on the front side of the cover plate 7. An observation window 8 is glued in the through groove of the cover plate 7. A bracket 11 is welded to the inner side of the sandblasting box 9. A turntable 12 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the bracket 11. A support frame 16 slides on the upper side of the turntable 12. A horizontal rotating face-changing motor 20 is installed on the rear side of the sandblasting box 9. A transmission rod 22 is installed on the motor shaft of the horizontal rotating face-changing motor 20. A bevel gear 21 is installed on the transmission rod 22. A knob 13 is welded to the end of the pressure rod 14.

[0022] In this embodiment, the turntable 12 is a cylindrical structure that runs vertically through the top and bottom. A sand-leaking mesh plate 18 is welded to the inner side of the cylindrical structure of the turntable 12 near the top opening. A ring plate structure is provided on the outer side of the turntable 12 near the top opening. Four sets of arc-shaped through slots are provided on the upper side of the ring plate structure of the turntable 12. The arc-shaped through slots are arranged in a circular array around the vertical central axis of the turntable 12. A helical tooth structure is provided around the lower side of the ring plate structure of the turntable 12. A bevel gear 21 is meshed with the helical tooth structure of the ring plate of the turntable 12. During the process of the horizontal rotation face-changing motor 20 driving the bevel gear 21 to rotate through the transmission rod 22 installed on the motor shaft, the bevel gear 21 drives the turntable 12 to rotate horizontally on the inner side of the support 11, so that the casting placed on the upper side of the sand-leaking mesh plate 18 at the top opening of the turntable 12 rotates horizontally. This realizes the automatic rotation and face-changing of the casting without manual handling, and the face-changing sandblasting operation is easy and convenient.

[0023] In this embodiment, the support frame 16 is an L-shaped folded plate structure. A long, through-slot is provided at the top of the L-shaped folded plate structure, and a sliding sleeve 17 is inserted into the through-slot. A clamping sleeve 15 is engaged with the outer side of the sliding sleeve 17. An arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the lower side of the L-shaped folded plate structure of the support frame 16. The arc-shaped protrusion of the support frame 16 is inserted into the arc-shaped through-slot of the turntable 12. The arc-shaped protrusion of the support frame 16 slides horizontally along the arc-shaped through-slot of the turntable 12. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different embodiment.) The appearance structure of the component allows for flexible adjustment of the horizontal pushing contact position of the pressure rod 14. The lower side center of the arc-shaped convex plate of the support frame 16 is provided with a threaded through hole. The clamping bolt 19 is screwed into the threaded through hole of the arc-shaped convex plate of the support frame 16. During the upward tightening process of the clamping bolt 19 in the threaded through hole of the arc-shaped convex plate of the support frame 16, the clamping bolt 19 cooperates with the support frame 16 to squeeze the ring plate structure of the turntable 12, thereby completing the fixing of the support frame 16 at any position of the arc-shaped through groove of the turntable 12.

[0024] In this embodiment, the end of the pressure rod 14 is a hemispherical structure. The hemispherical structure of the pressure rod 14 contacts the casting placed on the upper side of the sand-filtering mesh plate 18, reducing the contact area between the pressure rod 14 and the outer surface structure of the casting. While ensuring that multiple sets of pressure rods 14 horizontally push and position the casting, the sandblasting contact surface of the casting is increased. The outer side of the pressure rod 14 is provided with a threaded structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding sleeve 17 is a cylindrical structure. The outer side of the cylindrical structure of the sliding sleeve 17 is provided with a ring plate structure and a threaded structure. The inner side of the clamping sleeve 15 is provided with a threaded structure. The outer side of the pressure rod 14 is threaded and connected to the inner side of the sliding sleeve 17. During the rotation of the pressure rod 14 driven by the knob 13, the pressure rod 14 moves in and out of the cylindrical body of the sliding sleeve 17 along the threaded structure on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 17. The pressure rod 14 is adjusted to adapt to the structure of different castings until the hemispherical structure of multiple pressure rods 14 contacts the outer surface of the casting for fixed clamping. This avoids the sandblasting airflow and sand impacting the casting, which would cause the casting to shift on the upper side of the sand-leaking screen plate 18, and ensures that the casting is stably placed on the turntable 12.

[0026] In this embodiment, the inner side of the clamping sleeve 15 is provided with a threaded structure, and the outer side of the sliding sleeve 17 is engaged with the threaded structure on the inner side of the clamping sleeve 15. During the rotation and twisting of the clamping sleeve 15 at the threaded structure on the outer side of the sliding sleeve 17, the clamping sleeve 15, together with the ring plate structure of the sliding sleeve 17, performs opposing compression clamping on the outer part of the long through groove of the support frame 16, so that the pressure rod 14 engaged with the inner side of the sliding sleeve 17 can be flexibly adjusted according to the casting structure to push the contact height of the pressure rod 14.

[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: In this invention, when performing sandblasting on a metal casting, the casting is placed on the upper side of the sand-filtering mesh plate 18 welded to the inner side of the rotary table 12 cylinder structure. Then, according to the overall height structure of the casting, the sliding sleeve 17 is pulled along the long slot of the support frame 16 to a suitable pressing and clamping height position. The clamping sleeve 15 is manually rotated. Since the inner thread of the clamping sleeve 15 is engaged with the outer thread structure of the sliding sleeve 17, the clamping sleeve 15, in conjunction with the outer ring plate structure of the sliding sleeve 17, engages with the long slot of the support frame 16. The outer part of the slot is clamped from opposite directions to fix the sliding sleeve 17 at a suitable height. Then, according to the outer surface structure of the casting, the support frame 16 is pushed to slide horizontally along the ring-shaped through slot of the turntable 12 until the support frame 16 drives the pressure rod 14, which is engaged with the inner side of the sliding sleeve 17, to rotate and move to a suitable position. Then, the clamping bolt 19 is manually rotated, and the clamping bolt 19 rotates upward along the threaded through hole of the arc-shaped protrusion of the support frame 16. The clamping bolt 19 cooperates with the support frame 16 to clamp the ring-shaped structure of the turntable 12. The upper and lower pressure is applied to fix the support frame 16 in the arc-shaped through groove structure of the turntable 12. Finally, the knob 13 is manually turned, which drives the pressure rod 14 to rotate. Since the outer side of the pressure rod 14 is threadedly engaged with the inner side of the sliding sleeve 17, the pressure rod 14 rotates and extends along the thread structure of the sliding sleeve 17 until the hemispherical structure at the end of the pressure rod 14 presses against the outer surface of the casting, completing the positioning of the casting by multiple sets of pressure rods 14. Then, the sandblasting operator inputs control through the control panel 10. Control commands are transmitted from control panel 10 to control unit 2 via wires. After analyzing the control commands, control unit 2 controls the horizontal rotating face-changing motor 20 and sandblasting machine 6 to start via wires. The horizontal rotating face-changing motor 20 drives the bevel gear 21 welded to the end of transmission rod 22 to rotate. Since the bevel gear 21 is meshed with the helical tooth structure of the ring plate of turntable 12, the bevel gear 21 drives the casting placed on the upper side of turntable 12 to rotate horizontally. The sandblasting operator holds the sandblasting gun 24 to perform face-changing sandblasting operation on the surface of the casting.

[0028] All the above components are installed, connected, or set up using common mechanical methods, such as welding, threaded connections, and screw connections. Furthermore, the specific structure, model, and coefficient indicators of all components are based on their own technologies. Any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. The control unit 2, sandblasting machine 6, control panel 10, horizontal rotary face-changing motor 20, sand conveying pipe 23, and sandblasting gun 24 mentioned above are all common market components. Upon purchase and use, simply connect them according to the instruction manual purchased with the machine; therefore, further details are omitted here.
