Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical casting technology, and in particular to a pouring cup. Background Technology
[0002] The pouring cup is a key component of the casting gating system. It is used to receive the liquid metal poured from the ladle. By using a buffer flow to impact and separate impurities and increase the filling pressure head, it ensures that the molten metal enters the sprue smoothly.
[0003] Existing pouring cups come in funnel and basin shapes. The former has a weaker slag-blocking ability, while the latter is suitable for casting large parts. Currently, most pouring cups are made by molding sand pressing. Existing pouring cups made of cast iron are prone to cracking. High-purity corundum is used as the material for pouring cups, but when made of corundum, it is prone to breakage as the height and other dimensions of the pouring cup increase. Furthermore, existing pouring cups generally have a larger opening at the top than at the bottom, resulting in poor stability during placement. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a pouring cup to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve the defects of existing pouring cups, thus having strong practicality.
[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technology is proposed to be adopted: A pouring cup includes a lower support ring, an outer shell placed on the lower support ring, a filling component placed at the upper inner end of the outer shell, and an inner liner ring at the lower inner end of the outer shell. A ceramic filter is housed within the inner liner ring and placed on the lower support ring. The lower support ring and the filling component are both made of alumina. The outer shell is made of cast iron, and the inner liner ring is formed by pressing coated sand inside the outer shell. The ceramic filter has a porous, foam-like structure made of alumina. The ceramic filter effectively blocks slag from the molten metal, reducing defects in the casting. The cast iron exterior of the pouring cup increases its reusability and reinforces the internal components. The lower support ring provides a stable base for the pouring cup, improving its stability after placement, and its alumina construction enhances its resistance to thermal shock, preventing breakage. The injection component acts as a guide for the injection of molten metal, while the inner lining ring, formed by pressing coated sand, prevents the molten metal from contacting the cast iron and improves the heat insulation effect.
[0006] Furthermore, a tapered hole is provided on the lower pad ring, with the diameter of the upper end of the tapered hole being larger than the diameter of its lower end. A limiting protrusion is formed on the lower pad ring. The tapered hole increases the pressure of the molten metal during flow, so that it can be smoothly poured into the flow channel.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer shell includes a lower ring member with multiple through holes. A limiting protrusion passes through the through holes to improve the connection stability between the lower ring member and the lower pad ring. An upper extension tube is formed extending upward from the inner circumference of the lower ring member. A conical ring is formed at the upper end of the upper extension tube. The diameter of the upper end of the conical ring is larger than the diameter of its lower end. A raised edge is formed at the upper end of the conical ring. The conical ring facilitates the pouring of molten metal.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper outer wall of the extension tube is formed and connected to a feed pipe. The feed pipe, which is inclined upward on the outer end, facilitates the filling of sand and gravel into the gap between the extension tube and the filling part, so as to ensure the stability of the filling part after placement.
[0009] Furthermore, the filling component includes an upper ring placed on the flange, the inner circumference of the upper ring being formed with a conical hopper, the outer circumference of the conical hopper abutting against the inner wall of the conical ring, the diameter of the upper end of the conical hopper being larger than the diameter of its lower end, the lower end of the conical hopper being formed with a central connecting pipe, the lower end of the central connecting pipe being formed with a flared part, the flared part having a conical structure, the diameter of the upper end of the flared part being smaller than the diameter of its lower end, the lower end of the flared part being formed with a lower extension ring, the outer wall of the lower extension ring being formed with an annular groove, the conical hopper being provided to protect the outer shell below it, so as to prevent the molten metal from directly contacting the outer shell and affecting the strength of the outer shell, while the flared part increases the amount of molten metal above the ceramic filter, thereby facilitating its downward flow.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower wall of the upper ring is formed with multiple lower insert rods, and the protruding edge is provided with insertion holes. The insert rods are inserted into the insertion holes to prevent movement between the filling part and the outer shell.
[0011] Furthermore, an upper extension ring is formed on the inner circumference of the upper end of the inner liner ring. The upper extension ring is inserted into the ring groove to prevent molten metal from leaking outward through the gap between the inner liner ring and the lower extension ring, thus affecting the outer shell.
[0012] The advantages of the above technical solution are: This invention improves reusability and has the ability to intercept and block slag. Attached Figure Description
