TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to foundry technology field, concretely relates to a temperature control device for manufacturing sand core. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sand core is a key component in foundry (especially sand mold casting), which is specially used to form holes, cavities, internal passages or complex shapes in the castings, and these shapes cannot or are difficult to be directly realized by the external modeling of the mold. Simply speaking, sand core is an internal model with accurate shape made of special sand, when the molten metal is poured into the cavity composed of the outer mold (sand mold) and sand core, the metal will wrap the sand core, and after the metal cools and solidifies, the sand core is destroyed and removed, thus the casting with the required internal shape is obtained, so the manufacturing of sand core is an important link in the production process of castings.
[0003] When manufacturing sand core, a core shooter is usually used, and the working principle of the core shooter is that the core sand mixture with liquid or solid thermosetting resin as binder is shot into a hot core box through a sand shooting mechanism, and the core sand mixture is quickly hardened to a certain thickness in the hot core box, and then the high-quality sand core product with smooth surface and accurate size is formed.
[0004] In order to shoot the core sand mixture into the hot core box, the sand shooting mechanism in the core shooter mainly includes a hopper, a shooting barrel and a nozzle communicating with the bottom of the shooting barrel. The hopper is used to store the core sand mixture, and when the core sand mixture is to be shot into the hot core box, a certain amount of core sand mixture is added into the shooting barrel through the hopper, then the shooting barrel is closed and the nozzle is inserted into the hot core box, and then the core sand mixture in the shooting barrel is shot into the hot core box through the nozzle by introducing pressure air into the shooting barrel.
[0005] When the core sand mixture is shot into the hot core box by the sand shooting mechanism, since the shooting barrel and the nozzle in the sand shooting mechanism are located above the hot core box and are close to the hot core box, when the hot core box is in a heating state, the hot air around the hot core box rises and heats the shooting barrel and the nozzle, thereby heating the core sand mixture in the shooting barrel and the nozzle, which causes the core sand mixture to start hardening, reducing the flowability of the core sand mixture, especially the part of the nozzle closest to the hot core box is most affected by the hot air, and when the core sand mixture in the part of the nozzle starts to harden, the nozzle will be blocked, directly causing the failure of sand shooting.

[0045] In the embodiment, the core sand mixture is conveyed by the material conveying element, in the process of conveying the core sand mixture by the material conveying element, the core sand mixture enters the barrel 7 through the feeding pipe 9 communicated with the material conveying element, until a certain amount of core sand mixture is in the barrel 7, the material conveying element stops conveying the core sand mixture, then the piston rod is controlled to rise by the cylinder 3, in the process of rising of the piston rod, the fixed plate 4 is driven to rise by the piston rod, in the process of rising of the fixed plate 4, the hot core box 5 is driven to rise by the fixed plate 4, until the sand inlet hole 6 at the top of the hot core box 5 is inserted by the sand shooting nozzle 8 at the bottom of the barrel 7, then the pressure gas is conveyed by the gas conveying element, in the process of conveying the pressure gas by the gas conveying element, the pressure gas enters the feeding pipe 9 through the air inlet hole communicated with the gas conveying element, then the pressure gas enters the barrel 7 along the feeding pipe 9, so that the core sand mixture in the barrel 7 is extruded by the pressure gas and shot into the hot core box 5 from the sand shooting nozzle 8, after the core sand mixture is heated and hardened to form a sand core product in the hot core box 5, the gas conveying element stops conveying the pressure gas, at this time, the core sand mixture is no longer extruded by the pressure gas and shot into the hot core box 5 from the sand shooting hole 8, at the same time, the hot core box 5 is reset by controlling the piston rod to descend by the cylinder 3, so that the sand shooting nozzle 8 is separated from the sand inlet hole 6, the sand core product in the hot core box 5 is taken out by the operator, then the core sand mixture is supplemented into the barrel 7 by the material conveying element, and the above process is repeated.
[0046] In the above process, the barrel 7 and the sand shooting nozzle 8 can be cooled by the cooling structure sleeved on the outer surface of the barrel 7, so as to avoid the barrel 7 and the sand shooting nozzle 8 being heated and rising by the hot air around the hot core box 5, thereby avoiding the core sand mixture in the barrel 7 and the sand shooting nozzle 8 being heated and hardened to cause blockage.

[0048] In the embodiment, by opening the feeding control valve 12, the core sand mixture stored in the hopper 10 falls into the feeding pipe 9 from the feeding pipe 11 under the action of gravity, and then falls into the shot sleeve 7 through the feeding pipe 9, until the shot sleeve 7 has a certain amount of core sand mixture, the core sand mixture stops falling into the shot sleeve 7 by closing the control valve. By controlling the feeding control valve 12, the operator can avoid manually supplementing the core sand mixture into the shot sleeve 7 frequently, and only needs to add a sufficient amount of core sand mixture into the hopper 10 at one time to meet the production demand for a period of time.
[0049] The gas feeding member includes a pressure gas tank 13 for storing pressure gas, the pressure gas tank 13 has a gas feeding pipe 14 extending towards the gas inlet hole, the end of the gas feeding pipe 14 is communicated with the gas inlet hole, and the gas feeding pipe 14 is provided with a gas feeding control valve 15.
[0050] In the embodiment, by opening the gas feeding control valve 15, the pressure gas in the pressure gas tank 13 enters the gas inlet hole through the gas feeding pipe 14, then enters the feeding pipe 9 through the gas inlet hole, and finally enters the shot sleeve 7 along the feeding pipe 9, so that the core sand mixture in the shot sleeve 7 is extruded by the pressure gas and shot into the hot core box 5 from the nozzle 8, and by closing the gas feeding control valve 15, the pressure gas stops entering the shot sleeve 7, and the core sand mixture is no longer extruded by the pressure gas and shot into the hot core box 5 from the nozzle 8.
[0051] The cooling structure includes a cooling sleeve 16 which can reciprocate along the axis direction of the shot sleeve 7, the cooling sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outer surface of the shot sleeve 7, a water pipe 17 is arranged in the cooling sleeve 16, one side of the frame body 2 is provided with a cold water machine 18 for preparing cold water, one end of the water pipe 17 is communicated with a water inlet hose 19 extending towards the cold water machine 18, the other end of the water pipe 17 is communicated with a water outlet hose 20 extending towards the cold water machine 18, the end of the water inlet hose 19 and the end of the water outlet hose 20 are both communicated with the cold water machine 18, and the water outlet hose 20 is provided with a liquid pump 21.
[0052] In the embodiment, in the process of continuously manufacturing sand cores, the hot core box 5 is constantly switched between heating and natural cooling states, in these two states of the hot core box 5, the heat in the hot core box 5 is constantly dissipated to the surrounding, continuously generating rising hot air, since the cooling sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outer surface of the shot sleeve 7, the cooling sleeve 16 can block most of the hot air, basically avoiding the hot air directly contacting the shot sleeve 7 and the nozzle 8 located above the hot core box 5, to a certain extent, avoiding the shot sleeve 7 and the nozzle 8 being affected by the hot air and being heated.
[0053] Since the hot air continuously rises around the hot core box 5 during the continuous production of the sand core, the cold water machine 18 is started to prepare cold water and the liquid pump 21 is started to make the cold water prepared by the cold water machine 18 enter the water pipe 17 through the water inlet hose 19. When the cold water passes through the water pipe 17, the heat in the cooling jacket 16 is transferred to the cold water in the water pipe 17, so that the cooling jacket 16 maintains a lower temperature. Then the cold water enters the water outlet hose 20 through the water pipe 17, and is recovered to the cold water machine 18 from the water outlet hose 20, forming a cooling water circulation loop. The cooling jacket 16 maintains a lower temperature through the cooling water circulation loop, so that the barrel 7 and the nozzle 8 in contact with the cooling jacket 16 maintain a lower temperature, effectively avoiding the hardening of the core sand mixture in the barrel 7 and the nozzle 8 due to heat, and through the cooling water circulation loop, the cold water flowing through the water pipe 17 can be recovered to the cold water machine 18 for reuse, saving water.
[0054] Since the cooling jacket 16 can reciprocate along the axis direction of the barrel 7, when the piston rod of the cylinder 3 drives the hot core box 5 to rise, the cooling jacket 16 is pushed by the hot core box 5 to move upward along the axis direction of the barrel 7, so that the bottom end of the nozzle 8 is separated from the cooling jacket 16 and can be inserted into the sand hole 6, so that the nozzle 8 can shoot the core sand mixture into the hot core box 5 through the sand hole 6. When the piston rod of the cylinder 3 drives the hot core box 5 to descend and reset, the cooling jacket 16 moves downward along the axis direction of the barrel 7 under the action of gravity and returns to the initial position, and the bottom end of the nozzle 8 returns to the cooling jacket 16 and is cooled, avoiding the hardening of the core sand mixture in the nozzle 8 due to heat.
[0055] The cooling jacket 16 is provided with an upper opening through which the feeding pipe 9 passes, and a lower opening 22 through which the nozzle 8 passes. A space is left between the inner bottom surface of the cooling jacket 16 and the lower surface of the barrel 7, and two springs 23 are symmetrically arranged in the space.
[0056] In this embodiment, since the cooling jacket 16 has the upper opening through which the feeding pipe 9 passes and the lower opening 22 through which the nozzle 8 passes, and a space is left between the inner bottom surface of the cooling jacket 16 and the lower surface of the barrel 7, the cooling jacket 16 can reciprocate along the axis direction of the barrel 7.
[0057] When the piston rod of the cylinder 3 drives the hot core box 5 to rise, the cooling jacket 16 is pushed by the hot core box 5 to move along the axis direction of the barrel 7, and in the process of the movement of the cooling jacket 16, the spring 23 between the inner bottom surface of the cooling jacket 16 and the lower surface of the barrel 7 is contracted by the upward pushing force of the cooling jacket 16, and when the piston rod of the cylinder 3 drives the hot core box 5 to descend and reset, the cooling jacket 16 is moved downward along the axis direction of the barrel 7 to the initial position by the gravity, and in the process of the movement of the cooling jacket 16, the pushing force of the cooling jacket 16 to the spring 23 disappears, and the spring 23 is elongated to the initial state by the elastic potential energy.
[0058] In the process of the movement of the cooling jacket 16, the bottom end of the nozzle 8 can pass through the lower opening 22 and insert into the sand hole 6, so that the nozzle 8 can shoot the core sand mixture into the hot core box 5 through the sand hole 6, and in the process of the movement of the cooling jacket 16, the bottom end of the nozzle 8 returns to the cooling jacket 16 to be cooled, avoiding the hardening of the core sand mixture in the nozzle 8 due to heat, and in the process of the elongation of the spring 23 to the initial state by the elastic potential energy, the spring 23 pushes the cooling jacket 16 downward, which helps the cooling jacket 16 to quickly return to the initial position by the gravity of the cooling jacket 16, so that the bottom end of the nozzle 8 quickly returns to the cooling jacket 16 to be cooled, further avoiding the hardening of the core sand mixture in the nozzle 8 due to heat.
[0059] The water pipe 17 includes a circular ring pipe segment 24 and a spiral pipe segment 25 extending along the axis direction of the barrel 7 in a spiral shape, the circular ring pipe segment 24 is arranged in the inside of the cooling jacket 16 along the circumference of the lower opening 22, the circular ring pipe segment 24 is in a circular ring shape, the circular ring pipe segment 24 is symmetrically connected with a first straight pipe segment 26 and a second straight pipe segment 27 extending along the radial direction of the cooling jacket 16, the end of the first straight pipe segment 26 passes through the cooling jacket 16 and is connected with the water inlet hose 19, the end of the second straight pipe segment is connected with the spiral pipe segment 25, and the end of the spiral pipe segment 25 passes through the cooling jacket 16 and is connected with the water outlet hose 20.
[0060] In this embodiment, the cold water machine 18 is used to prepare cold water, and then the liquid pump 21 is started, so that the cold water prepared by the cold water machine 18 passes through the first straight pipe segment 26, the circular ring pipe segment 24, the second straight pipe segment 27 and the spiral pipe segment 25 in the inside of the cooling jacket 16 in sequence through the water inlet hose 19, and then enters the water outlet hose 20 through the spiral pipe segment 25, and then returns to the cold water machine 18 through the water outlet hose 20.
[0061] Since the first straight pipe section 26, the circular ring pipe section 24, the second straight pipe section 27 and the spiral pipe section 25 are arranged in the cooling jacket 16 along the shapes of the lance 7 and the nozzle 8, and the cold water flows from bottom to top, the cold water can fully fill the first straight pipe section 26, the circular ring pipe section 24, the second straight pipe section 27 and the spiral pipe section 25, so that the heat exchange between the lance 7, the nozzle 8, the cooling jacket 16 and the cold water is more sufficient, so that the lance 7 and the nozzle 8 can keep a lower temperature, and the core sand mixture in the lance 7 and the nozzle 8 is prevented from being hardened and blocked.
[0062] In the embodiment, the core sand mixture can be supplemented into the lance 7 by controlling the feeding control valve 12, then the nozzle 8 is inserted into the sand hole 6 by driving the hot core box 5 to move upward by the air cylinder 3, at this time, the pressure gas is introduced into the lance 7 by controlling the air inlet control valve, so that the core sand mixture is shot into the hot core box 5 from the nozzle 8, after the core sand mixture is hardened in the hot core box 5 to form the sand core product, the pressure gas is stopped from being introduced into the lance 7 by the air inlet control valve, and the hot core box 5 is reset by the air cylinder 3, so that the nozzle 8 is separated from the sand hole 6, after the hot core box 5 is naturally cooled, the sand core product in the hot core box 5 is taken out by the operator, and then the above process is repeated to manufacture and produce the sand core.
[0063] The cooling water circulation loop formed by the cold water machine 18, the liquid pump 21, the water inlet hose 19, the first straight pipe section 26, the circular ring pipe section 24, the second straight pipe section 27, the spiral pipe section 25 and the water outlet hose 20 can reduce the energy consumption while keeping the cooling jacket 16 at a lower temperature, so that the lance 7 and the nozzle 8 in the cooling jacket 16 keep a lower temperature, and the core sand mixture in the lance 7 and the nozzle 8 is prevented from being hardened and blocked.
