Co-tank casting device
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of casting, in particular to a co-tank casting device.
Background
The casting is a relatively common metal workpiece forming method, and can rapidly manufacture metal workpieces with complex structures, and the product has high dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces. Many molding methods for casting include bulk molding, sand molding, false box molding, multi-box molding, split box molding, stack box molding, and the like. The stack molding is to stack a plurality of sand molds up and down or left and right, molten iron is poured from a pouring opening, and the manufacture of a plurality of castings can be completed simultaneously by one-time pouring of the stack molding, so that the small-sized parts are suitable for the stack molding method, the molds can be saved, the process is simplified, the efficiency and the yield are improved, and the large-sized castings are not suitable for the stack molding method, because the corresponding large pouring system and the mold system have more uncertain factors, and the cost and the yield are not suitable.
In the field of wind power generation, some large products are mostly cast products such as planetary gears, hubs, axles and the like, and some small products are cast products such as auxiliary gears, connecting rods, brackets and the like, in the development of casting wind power products for decades, each follow a traditional casting mode of the wind power products, for example, the Chinese patent application with the application number 200910101188.8 mentions a casting method of a hub casting of a wind power generator, which comprises the following steps: manufacturing a mould; manufacturing a sand mold; and (5) casting and molding. When the sand mould is manufactured, the inner pouring gate is set to be disc-shaped and is arranged in the center of the bottom surface of the lower end of the casting cavity, a bottom pouring type pouring system is adopted, a quantitative ladle plug pouring opening is adopted for the straight pouring gate, and pouring molding is carried out under the parameter conditions of the set area ratio of each pouring gate (Sigma straight to Sigma horizontal to Sigma internal), tapping temperature, magnesium explosion time, pouring temperature, pouring time and the like. By adopting the method, the casting position, the casting system, the air outlet position, the riser position, the chill placing position and the casting molding control process parameters are designed according to the characteristics of the hub casting of the wind driven generator, so that the large casting is not easy to deform, shrink holes, slag inclusion and high yield.
The above-mentioned wind turbine hub castings are relatively large in tonnage, and it is not possible for the skilled person to envisage production of the same in a one-mould-multiple-piece manner, nor to envisage production of the castings with small castings of a completely different kind, but in practice in the casting field, there is no mention of any casting manner in which castings of a different kind can be produced together.
In addition, the main technology for preventing defects in casting is cooling, and the key of cooling is cooling of hot joints, and in the 200910101188.8 Chinese patent application, sequential solidification is guided only by a traditional riser position setting method and a cold iron setting method, shrinkage-caused missing parts are supplemented by the riser, shrinkage porosity and shrinkage porosity are prevented from being generated by cold iron arrangement, so that large castings are not easy to deform, shrink porosity, slag inclusion and high yield.
In addition, the application number 201110221821.4 relates to a reinforced cooling process of wind power ductile iron castings, a wire mesh is woven by using iron wires with the diameter of 0.5-3 mm, the manufactured iron wire mesh is cut into a proper size according to the shape of a hot joint part of the castings, the manufactured iron wire mesh is fixed in a cavity of the hot joint part, and ductile iron liquid after spheroidizing inoculation is poured into a casting mold.
