[0002] In the casting process of metal castings, various qualified sands are used to make models. After use, these sand models contain waste residue from the casting raw materials, making them unusable and forming waste sand. Waste sand recycling devices for metal castings primarily involve the field of environmental protection technology, aiming to effectively recycle and reuse waste sand generated during the casting process. This device is suitable for recycling waste sand generated during the casting of various metal castings, such as those for automotive parts and mechanical parts.

The crushing component includes a crushing frame, and a first crushing roller is rotatably connected to one side of the crushing frame. This utility model places the waste sand on the feeding guide frame, and the waste sand on the feeding guide frame will fall into the interior of the crushing component. The waste sand can be crushed by the combined use of the first crushing roller and the second crushing roller. The crushed waste sand will fall into the interior of the screening hopper. Then, the control switch of the drive motor is turned on, and the drive motor can drive the vertical shaft and the inclined platform to rotate. Since the inclined surface of the inclined platform is in contact with the bottom end of the bottom column, when the inclined platform rotates, it can drive the bottom column to perform reciprocating linear motion, and drive the screening hopper to perform reciprocating linear motion, thereby realizing the screening of waste sand inside the screening hopper.

[0004] However, after the screening bucket completes the screening of waste sand, the smaller diameter qualified waste sand will fall through the screen holes and be collected, while the larger diameter impurities or waste sand that is not completely crushed will remain in the screening bucket. These larger diameter impurities are more difficult to discharge. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of a metal casting waste sand recycling device, comprising: a screening hopper 1, a sealing mechanism 2, a cleaning mechanism 3, and a back-blowing mechanism 4; the screening hopper 1 includes: a screen 11 and a baffle 12; the baffle 12 is installed above the screen 11, and a slag discharge port 13 is provided on one side of the baffle 12 near the screen 11; the sealing mechanism 2 is installed at the slag discharge port 13 to seal the slag discharge port 13; the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a scraper 31 and a driving assembly; the scraper 31 is slidably installed on the baffle 12, and the lower end of the scraper 31 slides against the screen 11; the slag discharge port 13 is located on the stroke of the scraper 31; the driving assembly drives the scraper 31 to slide, and during the process of the scraper 31 sliding towards the slag discharge port 13, the sealing mechanism 2 is controlled to open the slag discharge port 13; the back-blowing mechanism 4 is located below the screen 11, and the back-blowing mechanism 4 slides synchronously with the cleaning mechanism 3.

[0022] In specific implementation, the coordinated operation process and transmission effect of each mechanism of the metal casting waste sand recycling device are as follows: After the waste sand to be recycled is poured into the screening hopper 1, the screen 11 performs preliminary filtration of the waste sand. Fine sand falls through the screen 11 and is collected, while impurities remain on the surface of the screen 11. When it is necessary to clean the impurities on the screen 11, the drive component of the cleaning mechanism 3 is activated, driving the scraper 31 to slide along the inner side of the enclosure 12. The lower end of the scraper 31 is in close contact with the surface of the screen 11, and as it slides, it pushes the impurities on the surface of the screen 11 toward the slag discharge port 13. During this process, the drive component simultaneously controls the closing mechanism 2 to open the slag discharge port 13, so that the impurities pushed by the scraper 31 can be directly discharged from the slag discharge port 13, avoiding the accumulation of impurities that hinder the movement of the scraper 31. Meanwhile, the back-blowing mechanism 4 is located below the screen 11 and slides synchronously with the scraper 31. When the scraper 31 moves toward the slag discharge port 13, the back-blowing mechanism 4 moves synchronously with it and sprays high-pressure airflow below the screen 11. The airflow blows off the fine sand adhering to the mesh of the screen 11 through the mesh of the screen 11, preventing the screen 11 from clogging. When the scraper 31 finishes cleaning and resets, the back-blowing mechanism 4 stops spraying air synchronously, and the sealing mechanism 2 closes the slag discharge port 13 under the linkage of the drive component, preparing for the next round of screening.

[0023] This design, through the simultaneous operation of scraper 31 cleaning and backflushing to remove blockages, achieves efficient removal of impurities from the surface of screen 11 while avoiding the decrease in screening efficiency caused by mesh clogging. Simultaneously, the linkage control between the sliding of scraper 31 and the switching of the sealing mechanism 2 ensures precise and orderly impurity discharge, reducing the scattering and waste of waste sand during slag discharge. The entire transmission process requires no manual intervention, is highly automated, and can continuously and stably process foundry waste sand, improving the waste sand recycling rate and meeting the large-scale waste sand processing needs of the foundry industry.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In other embodiments, the drive assembly includes: a lead screw 32, a nut seat 33, and a motor; the lead screw 32 is arranged along the sliding direction of the scraper 31; the lead screw 32 is rotatably mounted on the enclosure 12, the nut seat 33 is slidably mounted on the enclosure 12, and the nut seat 33 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 32; the motor drives the lead screw 32 to rotate.

[0025] In practice, after the motor starts, it drives the lead screw 32 to rotate along its own axis. Since the nut seat 33 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 32 and slidably mounted on the enclosure 12, it is limited by the enclosure 12 and cannot rotate with the lead screw 32. The rotational motion of the lead screw 32 is converted into the linear sliding of the nut seat 33 along the length of the lead screw 32. The scraper 31 is fixedly connected to the nut seat 33 and slides synchronously with the nut seat 33, with its lower end always in close contact with the surface of the screen 11. When the motor rotates forward, the lead screw 32 drives the nut seat 33 to move towards the slag discharge port 13. The scraper 31 then pushes the impurities on the surface of the screen 11 towards the slag discharge port 13 and controls the closing mechanism 2 to open the slag discharge port 13 to ensure that the impurities are discharged smoothly. When the impurities are cleaned, the motor reverses, the lead screw 32 drives the nut seat 33 to drive the scraper 31 to slide back to its original position, and the closing mechanism 2 simultaneously closes the slag discharge port 13, completing one cleaning cycle.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In other embodiments, the sealing mechanism 2 includes: a sealing barrier 21, a spring 22, and a sliding rod 23; the sliding rod 23 is arranged along the sliding direction of the scraper 31, and one end of the sliding rod 23 is slidably mounted on the enclosure 12, and the other end of the sliding rod 23 is fixedly connected to the scraper 31; the spring 22 is sleeved on the sliding rod 23 and applies an elastic force to the sliding rod 23 to drive the sealing barrier 21 to close the slag discharge port 13.

[0027] In practice, under normal conditions, the elastic force of spring 22 pushes the seal 21 to tightly fit against the slag discharge port 13, achieving closure. When the drive assembly drives the scraper 31 to slide towards the slag discharge port 13, the scraper 31 simultaneously pushes the seal 21 to move outward from the slag discharge port 13 via the sliding rod 23. The spring 22 is compressed, and the elastic force accumulates. The slag discharge port 13 gradually opens as the seal 21 moves, and the impurities pushed by the scraper 31 can be directly discharged from the opened slag discharge port 13. After cleaning, the drive assembly drives the scraper 31 to reverse and reset, the elastic force of spring 22 is released, and the seal 21 is pushed back synchronously with the scraper 31, re-sealing the slag discharge port 13 tightly. Furthermore, a push rod 24 is fixedly installed on the side of the scraper 31 near the slag discharge port 13; this makes it easier to push the seal 21 to slide and open the slag discharge port 13.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In other embodiments, the backflushing mechanism 4 includes: a connector 41, a pipe 42, and a nozzle 43; the pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the scraper 31 via the connector 41, and the nozzle 43 is installed on the pipe 42 and communicates with the pipe 42.

[0029] In practice, the pipe 42 moves along the length of the screen 11 along with the scraper 31 via the connector 41. The nozzle 43 installed on the pipe 42 is positioned downwards from the screen 11 and is connected to a high-pressure air source (such as an air pump). When the scraper 31 slides towards the slag discharge port 13 under the drive of the drive assembly, the pipe 42 moves synchronously with the scraper 31, and the nozzle 43 sprays high-pressure airflow downwards from the screen 11. The airflow passes through the mesh of the screen 11 and blows away the fine sand and small particle impurities attached to the mesh, preventing the screen 11 from becoming clogged. Since the nozzle 43 moves synchronously with the scraper 31, its spray range can accurately cover the area of ​​the screen 11 currently being cleaned by the scraper 31, ensuring that while the scraper 31 pushes away surface impurities, the blockages in the mesh are cleared in time, maintaining the permeability of the screen 11. When the scraper 31 finishes cleaning and reverses to its original position, the pipe 42 and the nozzle 43 retract synchronously. At this time, the nozzle 43 can be controlled to continue spraying air or pause as needed to perform secondary cleaning of the entire area of ​​the screen 11.

[0030] Furthermore, multiple nozzles 43 are arranged along the length of the pipe 42; multiple nozzles 43 are installed at intervals along the length of the pipe 42, each nozzle 43 facing downwards from the screen 11 and communicating with the inside of the pipe 42, while the air jet direction and angle of all nozzles 43 are consistent; this multi-nozzle 43 design, combined with the synchronous sliding of the scraper 31, enables the back-blowing mechanism 4 to efficiently and comprehensively cooperate with the scraper 31 to complete the cleaning of the screen 11.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In another embodiment, the nozzle 43 is located on the side of the scraper 31 away from the slag discharge port 13 in the sliding direction of the scraper 31. When the drive assembly drives the scraper 31 to slide towards the slag discharge port 13, the scraper 31 first pushes large impurities and sand clumps on the surface of the screen 11 forward. Immediately following, the nozzle 43 sprays high-pressure airflow into the area of ​​the screen 11 that has been initially cleaned by the scraper 31, blowing away the fine sand and tiny particles remaining in the mesh. Since the nozzle 43 is located between the scraper 31 and the slag discharge port 13, its spray area is exactly where the scraper 31 has just cleaned. At this time, large obstacles on the surface of the screen 11 have been removed, and the airflow can act more directly on the mesh, avoiding impurities from obstructing the cleaning effect.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
