Definitions
- the present invention refers to a device for removing cores from foundry castings.
- the hollow parts of a foundry casting are usually obtained having recourse to some cores made of sand.
- Said cores have a shape complementary to the shape of the cavity to be obtained and the molten metal is cast around said cores.
- the foundry casting Once the foundry casting has cooled, it is necessary to separate it from the cores, and the more complex the shape of the foundry casting is, the harder is the removal of the sand.
- the cores are removed by blocking the foundry casting on a support and subjecting it to a hammering process and to a successive vibration process.
- a system constituted by hammers By striking the foundry casting with a system constituted by hammers, the separation of the sand from the metal and a partial crushing of the core are obtained.

- the casting is subjected to the action of one or more pneumatic hammers striking the surface of said casting in order to lead to the separation of the core from the casting and to a partial crushing of the core.
- the hammering phase is followed by the vibration phase.
- One or more vibrators are operated for transmitting a vibratory movement to the rigid chassis to which the casting is fixed.
- the vibration of the chassis is permitted thanks to the fact that the joints connecting the chassis to the fixed support are elastically deformable.

- the vibration of the foundry casting can be realised through the action of one or more vibrators integral with the support on which the casting is fixed and able to lead to a vibratory movement in said support.
- it is not made use of a single vibrator but of two vibrators or of a multiple of two.
- the vibratory movement of said devices can not turn into an effective vibration of the casting, as the different vibrators can interfere between them, so that their contributions dampen the vibratory movement of the foundry casting instead of increasing it.
- a first object of the present invention is that of realising a device in which the vibration system is able to lead to an effective vibratory movement of the foundry casting in order to guarantee a high performance.
- a further problem connected with the vibration phase is represented by the risk that the vibration of the foundry casting protracts too long after the end of the sand removal process, thereby preventing the operator to free immediately the casting from the support to which it is fixed and leading in this way to delays in the production line.
- a second object of the present invention is that of realising a device able to overcome this drawback, so as to minimise the dead times of the process.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a device for removing cores from foundry castings.
- As it is known, the hollow parts of a foundry casting are usually obtained having recourse to some cores made of sand. Said cores have a shape complementary to the shape of the cavity to be obtained and the molten metal is cast around said cores.
- Once the foundry casting has cooled, it is necessary to separate it from the cores, and the more complex the shape of the foundry casting is, the harder is the removal of the sand.
- According to the prior art, the cores are removed by blocking the foundry casting on a support and subjecting it to a hammering process and to a successive vibration process. By striking the foundry casting with a system constituted by hammers, the separation of the sand from the metal and a partial crushing of the core are obtained. The separation of the core fragments from the casting is completed by subjecting the casting itself to a vibratory movement so that the sand can be removed by force of gravity.
- Said technique has been already widely developed in the past and various devices exist carrying out the removal of the cores by means of hammering and vibration processes.
- In particular, the European patent EP 0,652,063 describes a device constituted by:
- a rigid chassis on which the foundry casting is blocked, said chassis being anchored to a fixed support by means of a plurality of elastically deformable joints;
- a system for blocking the foundry casting, said system making the casting itself totally integral with said chassis;
- a hammering system constituted by a plurality of pneumatic hammers arranged sideways to said chassis and on a plane perpendicular to it;
- a vibration system constituted by two vibrators arranged at the sides of said chassis, the symmetry axes of said chassis being perpendicular to the plane of the chassis itself.
- The foundry casting is fixed to the rigid chassis thanks to the blocking system. Said blocking system is generally formed by a fixed element and by a mobile element gripping the foundry casting against the fixed element.
- Once the casting has been blocked, it is subjected to the action of one or more pneumatic hammers striking the surface of said casting in order to lead to the separation of the core from the casting and to a partial crushing of the core.
- The hammering phase is followed by the vibration phase. One or more vibrators are operated for transmitting a vibratory movement to the rigid chassis to which the casting is fixed. The vibration of the chassis is permitted thanks to the fact that the joints connecting the chassis to the fixed support are elastically deformable. The vibratory movement allows to remove the core from the casting and to let escape the sand by gravity.
- The above mentioned technique has been widely developed in the past. However, the today's required performance is very high and the mass tolerance of sand present in the casting at the end of the process is very rigid (some grams, also for complex foundry castings and of considerable size). Not all currently used devices are able to answer to these needs.
- The main problems connected with the described process are bound to the vibration phase.
- According to the prior art, the vibration of the foundry casting can be realised through the action of one or more vibrators integral with the support on which the casting is fixed and able to lead to a vibratory movement in said support. Usually, it is not made use of a single vibrator but of two vibrators or of a multiple of two. The vibratory movement of said devices can not turn into an effective vibration of the casting, as the different vibrators can interfere between them, so that their contributions dampen the vibratory movement of the foundry casting instead of increasing it.
- A first object of the present invention is that of realising a device in which the vibration system is able to lead to an effective vibratory movement of the foundry casting in order to guarantee a high performance.
- A further problem connected with the vibration phase is represented by the risk that the vibration of the foundry casting protracts too long after the end of the sand removal process, thereby preventing the operator to free immediately the casting from the support to which it is fixed and leading in this way to delays in the production line.
- A second object of the present invention is that of realising a device able to overcome this drawback, so as to minimise the dead times of the process.
- The above and other objects of the invention are obtained by means of a device for removing the cores in sand from the foundry castings as defined in the hereby attached claims.
- The invention differentiates itself from the device described in the patent EP 0,652,063 and from other known devices, as it proposes a different arrangement of the elements of the vibration system.
- In many known devices, the symmetry axes of the vibrators lie on one of the symmetry planes of the device section that is intended to vibrate. In other known devices, the plane specified by the symmetry axes of the vibrators is parallel to one of said symmetry planes.
- On the contrary, the device according to the invention has recourse to two vibrators so arranged that the plane specified by the symmetry axes of said vibrators passes through the geometric centre of the above mentioned chassis and is inclined with respect to the symmetry planes of said chassis of an angle not null and different from 90°.
- This expedient makes it possible that the vibration of the two vibrators is effectively transmitted to the chassis and, as a consequence, to the foundry casting integral with said chassis. Therefore, when removing the core from the casting, a high performance of the device is assured.
- In the known devices, the vibration is generally produced by vibrators of mechanical type incorporating a rod-crank system.
- Advantageously, the device according to the invention has recourse to some electric motovibrators and this expedient allows to considerably reduce the dimensions of the device.
- Besides, the device according to the invention is characterised by the presence of an additional blocking system integral with the support fixed to the ground.
- In case the chassis, and the foundry casting with it, continues to vibrate also after that the core removal process has ended, the additional blocking system can intervene for blocking the vibratory movement and for allowing the operator to free immediately the foundry casting and for proceeding with the treatment of the successive casting.
- In this way, it is possible to optimise the process time and to increase the number of castings treated in a given time interval.
- An example of realisation of the present invention will be better described with reference to the hereby attached drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 represents a plan view of the device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
- Figure 2 is a front view of the device shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the device according to a variant of realisation of the invention;
- Figure 4 is a front view of the device shown in Figure 3.
- With reference to the Figures 1 and 2, it is shown a device, indicated on the whole with the
reference number 1, according to a first embodiment of the invention. - A
rigid chassis 5, having a rectangular section, is mounted on afixed base 3 bolted to the ground. Thechassis 5 is connected with thefixed base 3 by means of four elasticallydeformable joints 7. In the shown embodiment, thejoints 7 are made of an elastically deformable plastic material. - The device further incorporates a
system 20 for blocking thefoundry castings 11, asystem 30 for hammering thecastings 11, asystem 40 for vibrating thecastings 11 and, finally, asystem 50 for rapidly blocking thecastings 11 at the end of the core removal process. - The
blocking system 20, mounted at an end of thechassis 5, can grip twofoundry castings 11 at the same time by acting vertically down from above. Theblocking system 20 comprises a fixed part orbase 21, and a mobile part orplates 24, said parts being mounted at the ends of arotary arm 25 and being operated by twopneumatic actuators 23 arranged between thearm 25 and theplates 24. Thearm 25 can rotate around theshaft 27 of 90° in order to spread apart theplates 24 and to allow the loading of thefoundry castings 11 on thebase 21. Once thefoundry castings 11 have been loaded, thearm 25 is made to rotate so that theplates 24 are aligned with thebase 21. Thepneumatic actuators 23 are then expanded for bringing theplates 24 in engagement with thecastings 11, so as to press them firmly against thebase 21, one of the actuators being on the right and the other one on the left of therotary shaft 27. - Advantageously, the
pneumatic actuators 23 can be inflated and deflated by introducing air or sucking it back. Saidactuators 23 can be connected, according to the needs, at the inlet or at the outlet of a compressed air pump, not shown in the Figure. When thefoundry castings 11 must be blocked, theactuators 23 are connected to the pump outlet and then are inflated: in this way, the actuators can push theplates 24 on thecastings 11 for keeping them pressed against thebase 21. When, after that the sand has been removed, thefoundry castings 11 must be released, theactuators 23 are deflated by acting on a by-pass valve connecting them to the pump inlet. In this way, the air present in the actuator chamber is rapidly sucked back, thereby allowing to free thecastings 11. - A counterweight 9, compensating the weight of the
foundry castings 11 and maintaining thechassis 5 in balance, is present at the opposite end of thechassis 5 with respect to theblocking system 20. - The presence of said counterweight 9 is peculiar to the described embodiment. In other embodiments, it will be possible for instance to insert, instead of the counterweight 9, a second blocking system, symmetric with respect to the
blocking system 20, so that it is possible to proceed simultaneously with the core removal from four foundry castings, instead of removing the core from two castings only. - The
hammering system 30 is constituted by fourpneumatic hammers 31, two on the right side and two on the left side with respect to theblocking system 20. Thehammers 31 are oriented towards thefoundry castings 11 and are mounted onsupports 33 in order to be aligned on a plane perpendicular to the plane of thechassis 5. Being thesupports 33 fixed to thebase 3, which is in turn fixed to the ground, and being saidsupports 33 independent from thechassis 5, thehammers 31 will not be subjected to vibrations during the vibration phase. - The
vibration device 40 is constituted by twovibrators 41, arranged at two opposed sides of thechassis 5, that, when operated, lead to a vibratory movement in saidchassis 5. - In the described embodiment, use is made of two electric monovibrators for reducing the dimensions of the device, compared to the traditional devices using mechanisms of the rod-crunk type.
- It should be noted that, given the geometry of the
chassis 5, it is possible to define a longitudinal symmetry plane L and a transversal median plane T, that can be considered a symmetry plane provided that the counterweight 9 is considered equivalent to theblocking system 20. - If the plane specified by the two vertical symmetry axes of the two
motovibrators 41 is indicated with V, it is clear that the plane V passes through the centre of thechassis 5 and forms with the symmetry planes L and T an angle α and an angle β respectively, both not null and different from 90°, preferably approximately 45°. - This angular position, peculiar to the device according to the invention, ensures an effective transmission of the vibratory movement from the two
motovibrators 41 to thechassis 5. In this way, high performance in removing the sand from thefoundry castings 11 is guaranteed. - Another characteristic of the device is the presence of an
additional blocking system 50. Said system is constituted by twopneumatic actuators 51, the operation of which is similar to that of thepneumatic actuators 23 and on which someplates 53 are mounted. Theactuators 51 are mounted on the fixedsupport 3 and are not integral with thechassis 5. As a consequence, they are not subjected to vibrations during the vibration phase of thefoundry castings 11. - In case the vibration of the
chassis 5 protracts beyond the end of the core removal process or, in any case, for blocking the vibrations in a more rapid way, it is possible to let the blockingsystem 50 intervene: theactuators 51 push theplates 53 against thefoundry castings 11 and stop the vibratory movement of said castings. - It is also possible to insert a timer, connected with the
motovibrators 41, that automatically activates theactuators 51 after a predetermined time interval starting when themotovibrators 41 have stopped. - The Figures 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the invention differentiating itself from the embodiment that has been described until now for the blocking system that will be indicated in this embodiment with the reference 20'.
- In the embodiment of the Figures 3 and 4 (from which the
additional blocking system 50 has been left out for sake of simplicity), the blocking system 20' is arranged for blocking thefoundry castings 11 sideways instead of blocking them in their upper part. Theplates pneumatic actuators pneumatic actuators pneumatic actuators 23 of the above described embodiment. Concerning the fixed part of the blocking system 20', thewall 13 of thechassis 5 presents some slots 15: in saidslots 15 are fixed some matching elements against which theactuators foundry castings 11 to be treated. Said matching elements may be chosen and positioned every time according to the needs, in order to adapt them to the shape of thecastings 11 from which the core must be removed. - Since the blocking occurs sideways, it is necessary to use a pair of
plates 24a for the upper part of thecastings 11 and a pair ofplates 24b for their lower part for assuring an effective blocking. - Also thanks to the possibility of using different matching elements according to the foundry castings that must be treated, the lateral blocking may turn out to be more versatile and more adapted to castings of very different shape between them with respect to the vertical blocking.
