Abstract
Description
A casting process for a mining truck balance shaft bracket Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of balance shaft brackets, and in particular to a casting process method for a balance shaft bracket of a mining truck. Background Art
[0002] The balance shaft is installed between the two rear axles to balance the loads on both axles and reduce the vehicle's roll force. The balance shaft bracket is the main load-bearing structure of the balance shaft, and its rationality directly affects the safety and stability of the balance shaft. Technical issues
[0003] To ensure quality, existing technologies typically utilize lost foam casting (LVC) to produce balance shaft brackets. This involves placing a sprue and pouring cup directly above the balance shaft bracket mold. During pouring, molten metal is poured directly from the pouring cup and flows along the sprue into the balance shaft bracket mold.
[0004] However, during the casting process, due to the characteristics of the balance shaft bracket model, the molten metal exerts a strong impact on the center hole of the balance shaft bracket model, causing defects such as sand holes and shrinkage cavities to appear there. Furthermore, due to the influence of the molten metal temperature, the portion of the balance shaft bracket model near the sprue can experience localized overheating, resulting in uneven quality of the balance shaft bracket casting. Technical Solutions
[0005] Based on the above description, the present invention provides a casting process method for a mining truck balance shaft bracket, which aims to solve the problem of low yield of the existing casting method of the mining truck balance shaft bracket.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:
[0007] A casting process for a mining truck balance shaft bracket comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1. Layout of the gating system: The balancing shaft support model has a mounting surface, with two first ingates, two second ingates, and three third ingates disposed vertically in sequence. A first runner is disposed at one end of the two second ingates away from the balancing shaft support model, and a second runner is disposed at one end of the three third ingates away from the balancing shaft support model. A sprue is disposed between the two first ingates. The first runner and the second runner are both connected to the sprue, and a pouring cup is disposed at the top of the sprue.
[0009] S2, performing coating and drying, box embedding molding and melting and pouring in sequence to obtain the balance shaft bracket.
[0010] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.
[0011] Furthermore, a graphite chiller is provided on the balance shaft support model.
[0012] Furthermore, a fiber rod is provided between the pouring cup and each of the first inner gates.
[0013] Furthermore, the specific parameters of the coating and drying are as follows:
[0014] 1) Coating ratio: water: composite adhesive: aggregate = 7:1:10;
[0015] 2) Mixing time: binder ≥ 60min, aggregate ≥ 90min;
[0016] 3) Pomei degree: 70% to 72%;
[0017] 4) Drying parameters:
[0018] A. Drying room temperature and humidity: temperature 35℃~55℃, humidity: 10%~35%;
[0019] B. Drying time: 15h for the first pass, 19h for the second pass, 24h for the third pass;
[0020] 5) Coating thickness: 1.2mm~1.5mm.
[0021] Furthermore, the specific steps of the buried box shaping are as follows:
[0022] 1) Add bottom sand and place the model: fill the bottom sand to a height of 80mm-100mm, vibrate for 10s, and use a vibration frequency of 43Hz to scrape the bottom sand into a flat surface. Place one set of models in one box.
[0023] 2) Sand filling vibration: First, use a flexible manual sand adding device to add sand to a certain height, remove the fixed wooden strips, plastic ropes and foam blocks to ensure that there are no debris, and vibrate for 80 seconds at a vibration frequency of 58Hz; evenly fill the sand until it is flush with the sprue, scrape the sand inside and outside to make it flat, and vibrate for 70 seconds at a vibration frequency of 58Hz;
[0024] 3) Cover with plastic film and add top sand: Cover with 2 sheets of plastic film, then fill with top sand with a thickness greater than 80mm. Compact the plastic film to ensure that the plane of the pouring cup is 20mm higher than the sand plane. Then cut the plastic film on the top of the pouring cup to expose it and ensure that there is no molding sand on the top of the pouring cup, and scrape the sand surface flat.
[0025] Furthermore, the mass percentages of the chemical components of the smelting and pouring are: carbon C: 3.5% to 3.8%, silicon Si: 2.5% to 2.7%, manganese Mn: 0.5% to 0.6%, phosphorus P≤0.035%, sulfur S: ≤0.035%, magnesium Mg: 0.035% to 0.055%, copper Cu: 0.4% to 0.5%, tin Sn: 0.015% to 0.02%, and antimony Sb: 0.015% to 0.020%.

[0027] 1) Furnace temperature: 1570℃~1580℃, first box pouring temperature: 1490℃~1500℃, last box pouring temperature ≥1420℃;
[0028] 2) Pouring negative pressure: -0.045Mpa~-0.055MPa;
[0029] 3) After pouring, maintain pressure for 30 to 40 minutes. Beneficial effects
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0031] (1) The casting system of the present application utilizes a stepped casting method to avoid the concentration of molten metal in the portion of the balance shaft bracket model close to the sprue. This can not only reduce the impact on the center hole of the balance shaft bracket model, thereby reducing the probability of sand holes and shrinkage cavities, but also avoid the occurrence of local overheating, thereby ensuring the quality of the casting.
[0032] (2) The graphite chiller of the present application can prevent shrinkage of the balance shaft bracket casting, thereby ensuring the quality of the balance shaft bracket casting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
