[0002] Ceramic core pressing machines use high pressure to spray ceramic slurry into a mold to form complex part structures. However, during the heating process, the viscosity of binders such as resins decreases significantly with increasing temperature, making it difficult for traditional fixed-opening nozzles to adapt to dynamic viscosity changes. This leads to problems such as dripping contamination, uneven spraying, and clogging. Currently, the method of adjusting the nozzles based on manual experience is slow and lacks precision. Improved solutions using electric or pneumatic valves face technical drawbacks such as valve core wear and sealing failure due to the high abrasiveness of ceramic slurry, as well as complex external control systems with high failure rates and high maintenance costs.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 This is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a viscosity adaptive adjustment nozzle for a ceramic core pressing machine, including a housing 1, a nozzle head 2, and a support assembly 3 disposed inside the housing 1. The support assembly 3 includes a valve core 303, a reset spring 304, a shape memory alloy spring 305, and a baffle 306. A heating rod 5 is provided between the housing 1 and the chamber 4.

[0026] The integrated design achieves a compact layout of the nozzle device. The shape memory alloy spring 305 and the return spring 304 work together to automatically adjust the position of the valve core 303 according to temperature changes, effectively preventing leakage under high pressure conditions.

[0027] Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with a valve port 307, and a top cover 7 is installed on its upper part. The nozzle head 2 includes a first sealing ring 201 and a first opening 202, and is installed and fixed through the third opening 103 of the housing 1.

[0028] The nozzle head 2, made of tungsten carbide-ceramic composite material, achieves double sealing through the first sealing ring 201, which ensures wear resistance under high temperature conditions and sealing reliability under high pressure conditions. The precise size design of the first opening 202 can optimize the slurry flow characteristics.

[0029] Furthermore, the housing 1 also includes a second opening 101, a slot 102, and a channel 308, and the chamber 4 is installed through the slot 102 on the housing 1.

[0030] The modular design of the housing 1 facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the components, the second opening 101 is used to install the temperature monitoring element, and the slot 102 ensures the accurate positioning and installation of the chamber 4.

[0031] Preferably, a shape memory alloy spring 305 is installed at the rear of the conical surface of the valve core 303, and a return spring 304 is installed at its tail. The return spring 304 is fixed by a baffle 306. A shape memory alloy spring protective cover 302 is provided on the outside of the shape memory alloy spring 305, and a spring protective cover 301 is provided on the outside of the return spring 304.

[0032] The valve core 303 with a 60° cone angle, combined with a dual spring system, achieves precise flow control: at low temperatures, the reset spring 304 pushes the valve core 303 forward to reduce the opening and increase flow resistance; at high temperatures, the shape memory alloy spring 305 expands and moves the valve core 303 backward to expand the opening, achieving adaptive adjustment. The dual protective cover design not only prevents mechanical damage to the spring system, but also achieves efficient heat conduction through the through hole 8 on the protective cover 302, ensuring timely temperature response.

[0033] Furthermore, the shape memory alloy spring protective cover 302 has a through hole 8 on its outer circumference, a thermocouple 6 is installed in the second opening 101 of the housing 1, and the upper cover 7 has a fourth opening 702 and is sealed to the upper end face of the housing 1 through the second sealing ring 701.

[0034] Among them, the through hole 8 enhances the heat exchange efficiency, the thermocouple 6 monitors the temperature in real time to prevent material carbonization, and the sealing design of the top cover 7 ensures the sealing performance under high pressure working environment.

[0035] Furthermore, the heating rods 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference between the housing 1 and the chamber 4, and the top cover 7 is installed through the upper end face of the housing 1, with a second sealing ring 701 in between.

[0036] The tangentially arranged heating rods 5 form a uniform temperature field, which, together with the second sealing ring 701, achieves a double seal, ensuring that the ceramic slurry maintains stable temperature and viscosity characteristics throughout the entire working process.

[0037] During use, when the ceramic slurry enters the inner cavity of the housing 1, the heating rod 5 starts heating, and the thermocouple 6 monitors the temperature in real time. At low temperatures, the high-viscosity slurry causes the return spring 304 to push the valve core 303 forward, narrowing the valve opening 307 to increase flow resistance. As the temperature rises, the shape memory alloy spring 305 expands due to heat, overcoming the resistance of the return spring 304 and pulling the valve core 303 backward, widening the valve opening 307 to reduce flow resistance. The first opening 202 of the tungsten carbide-ceramic composite nozzle head 2 evenly extrudes the slurry, while the first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 701 ensure that there is no leakage throughout the entire working process, thereby realizing adaptive flow regulation and stable output of the ceramic slurry at different temperatures.

[0038] In summary, by adopting a modular design, the device consists of a housing 1, a tungsten carbide-ceramic composite nozzle head 2, and an intelligent adjustment assembly. The nozzle head 2 achieves high-pressure sealing through a first sealing ring 201. A 60° cone-angle valve core 303, along with a shape memory alloy spring 305 and a return spring 304, forms an adaptive flow regulation system. This, combined with evenly distributed heating rods 5 and thermocouples 6, achieves precise temperature control. This device automatically adjusts the viscosity of the ceramic slurry through intelligent temperature control, effectively solving the problems of dripping and clogging under high-pressure conditions. Its tungsten carbide-ceramic material and double-sealing design ensure wear resistance and sealing performance under high temperature and high pressure environments, significantly improving the forming quality and production efficiency of the ceramic core.
