A Blowing Nozzle Technical Area The invention relates to core boxes (upper mold and lower mold 5) used in the casting process. (structure composed of its components) a material formed by a mixture of sand and resin It relates to the nozzles that blow air into matchboxes. The invention in question concerns monolithic and / or composite structures made of plastic, etc. Made of durable material, it features quick and easy assembly and a smooth surface. It relates to a blower nozzle that eliminates clogging problems. 10 Previous Technique As is known, sand and resin are used in core manufacturing. The sand and resin... The main material is transferred from a large pool into the core through the upper funnel. towards the molding area where the upper and lower mold components are located It is blown through the correct nozzles. Sand and resin are blown into the molds, 15 Blowing nozzles are used in the conveying process. The nozzles used in the previous technique were mostly made of metal-based material. These are manufactured nozzles. Due to the metal-based nature of the nozzle, during mass production... Some technical problems are being experienced. The main one of these technical problems is nozzle blowing. The problem is the blockage of the pathway. In the blockage removal process, 20 steps are needed to clear the blocked pathway. The path is cleared using a metal skewer or rod. Another problem is that the nozzle is made of metal-based material, therefore the nozzle... If centered, it can create a destructive effect through direct contact with the molds and This subsequently causes damage to the matchbox mold and nozzle. Another significant problem is that the nozzle contains multiple parts and, via the mounting surface, 25 This is the stage of fixing the plate to the mold with bolts and various fasteners. Due to the high number of nozzles used, each nozzle needs to be screwed in and 2 Subsequently, if the item needs to be removed for repair and maintenance, the labor processes... It stretches considerably. Also, the blowing machines have to stop. This... This situation significantly affects production processes and costs. Another significant problem encountered in the previous technique was that the nozzles were made of metal-based material. Because of its composition, a continuous flow is created on the inner surface of the nozzle, and with this flow, 5 Together with the resinous sand, this flow path adheres to the inner wall of the nozzle over time. adhesion and ultimately area loss of approximately 30% in the inner diameter of the nozzle. It consists of. This situation results in pressure loss as the material passes through the progressively narrowing diameter faster. This creates a problem. The filling of the core volume will be negatively affected, and the resinous sand will be 10 Its increasing speed causes deformations in the immediate vicinity of the matchbox surfaces. In addition to forming, the resin also separates from the sand and forms on the box (mold surfaces) This also causes negative consequences such as accumulations on their surfaces and even measurement errors. This can happen. This situation can lead to significant damage to the inner diameter of the nozzle and over time. 15 is happening. The manufacturing method and material quality of the blower nozzle, and the coating to be applied, Important factors affecting diameter surface abrasion in the resin sand blowing process. These are the criteria. Deformations in the diameter that occur after the process affect both the blowing flow. It will create turbulence, negatively affecting healthy match filling, and also nozzle 20 The accelerated wear on its diameter causes its lifespan to decrease rapidly. On the other hand, the process sequence includes the blowing nozzles along with the plates to which they are fixed. When it arrives, the machine axes are inserted through the top box collection plate of the match. They enter within their tolerances and begin resin-based sandblasting operations. Core After the machine boxes (top and bottom molds) are closed, blowing is done. 25 while preparing to start the process depending on the tolerances of their own axes and nozzle rigidity, nozzle outer diameter and nozzle tip deformations can occur, This situation leads to a reduction in the lifespan of the product. 3 Another significant problem encountered in the current technology is the sealing issue. The nozzle... Due to its metal-based material content, it provides the desired pressure tightness. It cannot be provided. After the match box, i.e., the bottom and top molds, are closed, sand The blowing operation begins. Nozzles are attached to the plates via a flange to ensure clearance tolerance. It is secured by being given. The nozzles are fixed on the plate, and the box collection is 5. The blowing operation starts by passing through the holes in the plate into the core cavity. It becomes ready, there is both a fitting tolerance in the outer diameter of the nozzle and the nozzle itself. There is also a clearance tolerance between the nozzle flange and the nozzle flange. In addition, the nozzle flange and Due to the rigidity of the plate, full pressure cannot be achieved, resulting in leakage problems. Therefore, a loss in blowing pressure occurs, causing the sand to penetrate into the mold in detailed areas. The shipment cannot be made. Finally, blower nozzles can break or overheat while in the production process. a non-operator-level process when replacement is needed due to wear and tear removed from the box and sent to the model workshop or service area as needed It is mandatory. In this case, the process waits or a different matchbox needs to be connected. 15 This creates a necessity. All the above developments lead to production losses and brain drain in production. It leads to sand loss and setup losses. A patent search regarding the previous technique revealed the following: CN212792196U A Chinese application with the number [number] was found. This application concerns a support framework. A conveyor used for automatic feeding and unloading of castings. 20 The assembly is arranged on a support frame and castings a sandblowing apparatus used for carrying out sandblowing operations, transport It describes a casting sand blowing device arranged at the center of the assembly.

The main purpose of the invention is to produce it from plastic-based material, plastic-based due to its material composition, its monolithic (single-piece) structure, and 4 High wear resistance and anti-clogging properties thanks to its slippery surface material structure. The goal is to create a nozzle that is easy to clean. Another important advantage of the invention is that the nozzle is made of plastic-based material. Thanks to its flexibility, it prevents axis errors in the box closing during operation. by being tolerant, breakage and wear that may occur in conventional nozzles 5 The goal is to prevent mistakes. Another purpose of the invention is to attach the nozzle to the mold plate using bolts and the like. Quick and practical, directly by hand without the need for fasteners. The goal is to ensure its proper installation. Thus, the removal and installation method is applied using manual force. This makes it possible to change nozzles easily and quickly. This situation 10 positively impacting production processes and costs without disrupting production processes It provides. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent resin buildup due to the nozzle being made of plastic-based material. The sand does not adhere to the inner diameter of the nozzle; this is a structural characteristic of NBR type plastic material. due to the smooth surface, the diameter is 15 without sticking to the inner diameter of the nozzle. the prevention of contractions. Another purpose of the invention is because the nozzle is made of plastic-based material and The flexible structure of the nozzle tolerates axial errors and wear when entering the mold. and prevents deformations such as fractures. Another important objective of the invention is to ensure that the flange of the flexible nozzle is precisely 20° to the plate surface. It ensures a complete seal through pressure. In the blowing operation, the nozzle hole... Pressure loss around the tolerances thanks to the flexible flange surface. It creates a gasket function. Thus, additional gasket-type sealing elements are formed. without the need for additional materials, thanks to the structural and material properties of the nozzle. Its purpose is to create a sealing effect. 25 However, during the filling process with blowing, there is no pressure or sand loss. Improvement and high-quality core manufacturing will be achieved without the formation of porous structures. With this... Together, this will improve gas flow quality, prevent gas waste, and enhance gas flow efficiency. The depth of the figure will ensure that the duration is shortened. Another important objective of the invention is to ensure that the nozzle has no connection to the blowing plate. without being secured by its element, to be sent to the service area of the match box Without the need for dismantling, the production operator alone can do 5 in their own area. the nozzle can be quickly and easily removed by hand without the use of any tools It provides the possibility of quick and simple installation. It is the introduction of a nozzle. Figures to Help Understand the Invention 10 Figure 1 shows a two-dimensional front view of the nozzle that is the subject of this invention.
