Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sand core manufacturing, and in particular to an automated sand core coating system. Background Technology

[0002] Sand cores are materials used to manufacture mold cores in casting production. Typically, during the casting process, a certain number of auxiliary small sand cores / channel cores need to be connected inside the base plate core / cover plate core for subsequent sand core manufacturing. The role of the glue application system is to position the sand core using vision, and then, driven by an industrial robot, apply glue to the inner cavity of the sand core. In existing technologies, when applying glue to the inner cavity of the sand core, the end effector of the industrial robot usually only has a glue gun fixed, reducing glue application efficiency.

[0025] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0027] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] This invention provides an automated gluing system for sand cores. The automated gluing system for sand cores includes: a base 1, a first gluing component 2, and a second gluing component 3. The base 1 is used to connect to a robotic arm; both the first gluing component 2 and the second gluing component 3 are slidably mounted on the base 1. The first gluing component 2 is used to move along the X direction on the base 1, and the second gluing component 3 is used to move along the Y direction on the base 1, wherein the X and Y directions are two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0030] This invention features two adhesive application components mounted on a base 1. The first adhesive application component 2 moves in the X-direction, adjusting the distance between it and the second adhesive application component 3 to accommodate different types of sand cores. The second adhesive application component 3 moves in the Y-direction, further adjusting the distance between it and the sand core, allowing the adhesive application points to be at different heights. This design, by providing two independently movable adhesive application components (2 and 3) on the base 1 to meet different adhesive application needs, and by enabling both components to operate simultaneously, significantly improves adhesive application efficiency.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a flange 11 for connection with a robotic arm. Specifically, the flange 11 has a through hole, and the flange 11 is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm by fasteners.

[0032] Furthermore, a first slide rail 12 is provided on the base 1 along the X direction, and the first adhesive application assembly 2 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 12. A second slide rail 13 is provided on the base 1 along the Y direction, and the second adhesive application assembly 3 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 13. The movement of the first adhesive application assembly 2 and the second adhesive application assembly 3 can be driven by a cylinder or a motor.

[0033] Furthermore, in this solution, the first glue application assembly 2 and the second glue application assembly 3 have the same structure. Both the first glue application assembly 2 and the second glue application assembly 3 include: a glue application housing 4 and a screw conveyor 5. The screw conveyor 5 is rotatably mounted inside the glue application housing 4, and the glue application housing 4 is provided with a glue inlet 41. The screw conveyor 5 is used to deliver glue from one end of the glue application housing 4. A glue application head is detachably provided at the glue output end of the glue application housing 4, allowing the glue application amount to be adjusted by replacing glue application heads of different diameters. The glue is driven to move within the glue application housing 4 by the screw conveyor 5, and the glue application amount is controlled by the number of rotations of the screw conveyor 5. The glue finally flows out through the glue application head.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive coating housing 4 includes an interconnected mounting portion 42 and an adhesive delivery portion 43. The mounting portion 42 is used to connect with the base 1, the adhesive delivery portion 43 has a hollow structure, the spiral delivery rod 5 is rotatably mounted inside the adhesive delivery portion 43, and the glue inlet 41 is located on the adhesive delivery portion 43.

[0035] The first glue application assembly 2 and the second glue application assembly 3 both include a servo motor 6. The servo motor 6 is fixed on the mounting part 42, and the output shaft of the servo motor 6 is connected to one end of the screw conveyor 5. The servo motor 6 is used to drive the screw conveyor 5 to rotate. By using the servo motor 6 to drive the screw conveyor 5 to rotate, it is easy to control the number of rotations of the servo motor 6 to control the amount of glue applied.

[0036] Finally, the automated gluing system for sand cores also includes a storage tank for storing the adhesive. The storage tank is connected to the glue inlet 41 via a pipe. This gluing system uses a dual-gun system for gluing, and the adhesive used is a microwave adhesive. The microwave adhesive is added to the storage tank. Because the adhesive is quite viscous, a certain proportion of water is automatically injected into the storage tank. After mixing in a mixing tank, the adhesive is pumped to the glue inlet 41 by a diaphragm pump.

[0037] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of this utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
