Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for casting large pipe fittings, and in particular to a casting sand recovery device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of large cast iron pipes, these cast iron pipe workpieces are generally quite large, with some pipes having a diameter of 1.5m to 2.5m. Therefore, their production must be carried out by casting in large sand boxes to achieve the final shape. Due to the huge size of the castings, the sand boxes are usually filled with a large amount of molding sand. After each casting is completed, the molding sand needs to be recycled and reused. In the casting workshop, the entire sand box is usually lifted by a crane to the sand pit for collecting molding sand. Then, the entire sand box, along with the castings inside, is poured onto a filter screen. After the sand falls through, the castings are lifted away. The molding sand collected in the sand pit is then scooped up by workers using a forklift and repacked for reuse. The above method has several problems in actual operation: 1. When receiving sand boxes and castings through the filter screen, a large amount of molding sand is poured onto the screen surface at the same time, which can easily lead to accumulation. Workers need to use shovels to push the molding sand into the pit, which increases the workload and labor intensity of the workers; 2. After the molding sand in the sand box is poured into the sand pit, it needs to be shoveled up again if it is to be used again, which is relatively troublesome and increases the workload. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foundry sand recovery device in response to the above-mentioned situation. This device reduces the workload of operators and improves production efficiency through simple and easy-to-implement improvement measures.
[0004] The specific solution of this utility model is as follows: a casting sand recycling device, which has a sand pit set under the ground. The bottom surface of the sand pit is set as an automatic sand sliding structure. A ring of supporting steps is set at the upper opening of the sand pit. A layer of filter screen is set above the supporting steps. The area of the filter screen matches the upper opening of the sand pit. Several vibrators are evenly spaced on the supporting steps. Each vibrator is vertically installed. The vibrators are connected to the bottom edge of the filter screen and form a vibration transmission with it. Several supporting springs are also set between the supporting steps and the bottom surface of the filter screen.
[0005] Furthermore, the automatic sand-sliding structure described in this utility model has a sand-lowering trough that descends to one side, and an extending chute extending outward from the bottom of the sand pit, which transfers the molding sand in the sand pit to an externally mounted molding sand collecting belt.
[0006] Furthermore, in this invention, the vibrator is connected to the bottom of the filter screen via an elastic support member.
[0007] Furthermore, the elastic support member described in this utility model is made of wear-resistant rubber columnar pads or springs.
[0008] Furthermore, the sand pit described in this utility model is a rectangular sand pit with a depth of 1.5 to 2 meters.
[0009] Furthermore, the filter screen described in this utility model is made of strip steel plates assembled and welded together, and the mesh size of the filter screen is 1.5cm*2.5cm.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This invention utilizes a vibrator designed for the filter screen to excite and clean the accumulated molding sand directly from the screen, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and saving manpower and resources. Furthermore, an automatic sand-sliding structure is incorporated at the bottom of the sand pit, allowing the falling molding sand to be transferred to a conveyor belt via an extended chute for easy transport and reuse. Additionally, the vibrator can also be used to clean molding sand adhering to cast pipe workpieces, achieving a dual-purpose machine. Attached Figure Description

[0019] See Figures 1-3 This utility model relates to a foundry sand recycling device, comprising a sand pit 1 located underground. The bottom of the sand pit is configured with an automatic sand-sliding structure. A supporting step 3 is recessed at the upper opening of the sand pit. A filter screen 4 is installed above the supporting step, the area of which matches the upper opening of the sand pit. Several vibrators 6 are evenly spaced on the supporting step, each vibrator being vertically mounted and connected to the bottom edge of the filter screen to form a vibration transmission. Several supporting springs 7 are also installed between the supporting step and the bottom surface of the filter screen. Furthermore, the automatic sand-sliding structure of this utility model has a lower sand trough 2 that descends to one side. The lower sand trough has an extending chute 5 extending outward from the bottom of the sand pit, which transfers the molding sand in the sand pit to an externally mounted molding sand collection belt (not shown in the figure).
[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vibrator and the bottom of the filter screen are connected by an elastic support. Furthermore, the elastic support in this invention is made of wear-resistant rubber cylindrical pads or springs. Furthermore, the sand pit in this invention is a rectangular sand pit with a depth of 1.5–2 m. Furthermore, the filter screen in this invention is made of strip steel plates assembled and welded together, and the mesh size of the filter screen is 1.5 cm * 2.5 cm.
[0021] When this utility model is in use, its usage state is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the casting sand box and the cast pipe workpiece 8 inside are poured onto the filter sand screen. Then, the vibrator is started to vibrate the filter sand screen. The molding sand 9 on top falls into the lower sand trough at the bottom of the sand pit through vibration. Since the lower sand trough is designed to be inclined to one side, the molding sand will continue to be transported outwards towards the extension chute 5 due to its own gravity. Finally, it falls onto the externally connected sand conveyor belt for outward transport. Finally, the workers pour it back into the sand box for reuse.
[0022] The sand filter screen in this invention also has a screening function. During the casting process, some large-sized impurities may be mixed in the molding sand. The sand filter screen can also filter out these impurities.
[0023] This invention utilizes a vibrator designed for the filter screen to excite and clean the accumulated molding sand directly from the screen, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and saving manpower and resources. Furthermore, an automatic sand-sliding structure is incorporated at the bottom of the sand pit, allowing the falling molding sand to be transferred to a conveyor belt via an extended chute for easy transport and reuse. Additionally, the vibrator can also be used to clean molding sand adhering to cast pipe workpieces, achieving a dual-purpose machine.
