Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multifunctional heat-insulating bucket with water-based coating, belonging to the field of sand casting technology. Background Technology

[0002] Sand casting is a casting method that produces castings in sand molds. It is a common casting process in production, primarily using wood or other metal materials to create the mold. Resin-impregnated sand particles are then used to create a sand core, which is installed within the mold to form the pouring sand pattern. The main function of the sand core is to create complex shapes such as cavities, hollows, or thin walls within the casting. By precisely providing space and shape to the interior of the casting, the sand core ensures that the casting achieves the required precision and structural specifications.

[0003] In existing sand casting production, sand cores typically require immersion in water-based coatings. The optimal ambient temperature for these coatings is around 17°C. However, during winter production, the decreasing ambient temperature causes the coating temperature to drop, leading to coating container freezing and the coating freezing during sand core immersion at low temperatures. The freezing and reduced fluidity, viscosity, and other properties of the coating result in poor quality sand cores after immersion, ultimately causing casting scrap and a decrease in casting yield. Therefore, a water-based coating insulation container is needed to address the problems of poor sand core immersion quality and decreased casting yield caused by weakened coating performance due to low winter temperatures in existing sand casting production.

[0016] 2. Based on the foregoing, the inner tank of this application is equipped with a stirring component. By setting a stirring motor and stirring blades, the stirring motor drives the stirring blades to stir the water-based coating in the inner tank, so that the coating will not settle.

It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1This embodiment discloses a multifunctional insulated bucket for water-based coatings, including a bucket body, a heating component, and a temperature control component. The bucket body has an inner bucket 6 to form a cavity for the water-based coating 7. The heating component includes a heating water tank 13 and a circulating water pipe 3. The heating water tank contains a heating element 11 and a water pump 9, and in this embodiment, distilled water is used as the heat transfer medium in the heating water tank. The circulating water pipe 3 is installed in the inner bucket and has two connection ports connected to the heating water tank. The temperature control component includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is installed in both the inner bucket and the heating water tank, and the sensor, heating element, and water pump are electrically connected to the controller. The bucket body of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a bucket shell 2. The bucket shell has a hollow structure with an opening on one side, and the bucket shell is closed to the base through the opening side. The inner bucket 6 is fixedly installed on the inner closed side of the bucket shell, with a component installation cavity between them. Additionally, the inner wall of the bucket shell 2 is provided with an insulation layer made of insulation material.

[0024] In this embodiment, the inner tank is equipped with a stirring assembly, which includes stirring blades 10 and a stirring motor 12. The stirring motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank, and its power end extends into the inner tank and is connected to the stirring blades. The stirring motor in this embodiment is equipped with a motor speed controller 5, which is electrically connected to the controller 14.

[0025] In this embodiment, the heating water tank 13 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and its body is provided with an outlet and a return outlet for connection to the two connection ports of the circulating water pipe. The water pump 9 in this embodiment is installed at the outlet of the heating water tank.

[0026] In this embodiment, the circulating water pipe 3 is a ring-shaped water pipe structure, and it is evenly distributed along the outer side of the inner tank.

[0027] In addition, the sensors in this embodiment include an inner tub temperature sensor 4 and a water tank temperature sensor 15; there are several inner tub temperature sensors 4, and these sensors are evenly distributed at intervals along the outer side of the inner tub, with their sensing ends extending to the inner side of the inner tub; the water tank temperature sensor 15 is fixedly installed in the heating water tank 13, with its sensing end extending to the inner side of the heating water tank; the electrical connection terminals of the inner tub temperature sensor and the water tank temperature sensor are respectively electrically connected to the controller.

[0028] Working Principle: The working principle of this multi-functional insulated water-based coating container is as follows: multiple pairs of temperature sensors are evenly distributed on the outside of the inner container to monitor the temperature of the coating inside. A ring-shaped circulating water pipe is evenly arranged on the outside of the inner container. Heat is transferred to the coating inside the inner container through the circulating water pipe, thus heating and insulating the coating. The two connection ports of the circulating water pipe are connected to the outlet and return port of the heating water tank at the bottom of the container, respectively. A heating element is installed in the heating water tank to heat the heat transfer medium in the circulating water pipe. A water pump then circulates distilled water along the circulating water pipe. To ensure the cleanliness of the heat transfer medium and prevent scale buildup that could clog the water pipes over time, distilled water is used as the heat transfer medium. A stirring motor and stirring blades are installed at the bottom of the inner container to agitate the coating inside, ensuring that the coating does not settle. The motor speed controller, heating element, and sensors of the stirring motor are all connected to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the entire equipment and the heating and insulation of the coating. Specifically, the inner tank temperature sensor detects the actual temperature of the coating in the inner tank, and the water tank temperature sensor detects the water temperature in the heating water tank. If the water tank temperature has not reached the heating temperature, the controller controls the heating element to heat the water tank, raising the temperature of the distilled water. Once the temperature is reached, the controller controls the water pump to circulate the distilled water along the circulation pipe. The heated distilled water then transfers heat to the inner tank through heat exchange, heating the coating. When the inner tank temperature sensor detects that the inner tank temperature has reached the set temperature, the controller dynamically controls the water pump and heating element to maintain a stable inner tank temperature, achieving the desired insulation effect. It is important to note that the operation of the stirring motor is also controlled by the controller to prevent coating sedimentation and ensure uniform distribution of the coating within the inner tank during heating and insulation, achieving uniform heating.

For those skilled in the art, after learning the contents of the present invention, several equivalent changes and substitutions can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These equivalent changes and substitutions should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
