Definitions
- the present invention relates to an automated system for debugging casting cores, and the stripping devices that comprise the stripping system.
- a casting with hollow portions is generally molded around a mixture of sand and resin, said casting core, complementary shapes to those of the hollow portions.
- the casting cores are then removed, particularly when the shape of the casting is complex, by subjecting it to a hammering to unhook the casting cores of the part, then to vibration to break up the cores and d evacuate the fragments by gravity.
- a stripping device consisting of a frame connected to a fixed support by four vertical cylindrical joints, deformable transversely elastically, and arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry of the frame, which corresponds to its center of gravity.
- the frame consists of three horizontal symmetrical plates interconnected by two webs welded to the plates.
- the chassis has two rectangular openings at each end of the chassis.
- a pneumatic cylinder is located in each of these openings to maintain a piece between the cylinder and one side of the opening at each end of the frame. This last side of the opening is drilled to allow to pass a pneumatic hammer that hammers the room.
- the two cylinders are mounted in opposition to each other.
- a disadvantage of this stripping device is that it is bulky. As a result, its location on an industrial site leads to severe space constraints. Another disadvantage of this device is that it is heavy, so with large engines, which leads to a significant manufacturing cost and a significant consumption of energy. In addition, this results in an amplitude of relatively small movement, so a high nucleus disintegration time.
- a third disadvantage of this device is that the access is made by two places located opposite one another, which is impractical for loading parts.
- the start-up of the device can only begin once two pieces are loaded and tightened, each in one of the openings of the frame, which makes the waiting time between two cycles long enough.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome certain disadvantages of the prior art by proposing an automated unclogging system, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of unclogging devices, each unclogging device consisting of a frame in the form of fork with two branches, the space between the two branches of the fork being intended to accommodate a workpiece, and each stripping device being enclosed in an enclosure with a single loading door of the workpiece, and in that the a plurality of stripping devices is disposed within a radius of action of a loading robot provided for loading the piece to be unpacked, by a single face of the stripping device, in the space of the stripping device provided for this purpose.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device for unclogging the unclogging system, characterized in that the frame is provided with a single space to accommodate a room to break, this space being located at one end of the chassis, in that the chassis is supported by four elastic suspensions of substantially vertical axis and deformable transversely, each suspension being secured to a base, in that the chassis is driven in vibration by two unbalanced motors of substantially vertical axis , each attached to one side of the frame, close to two of the elastic suspensions, and in that a clamping device of the workpiece is mounted on one of the legs of the frame, said clamping device consisting of 'a jack on which is mounted a clamping plate, to tighten the piece to break between the plate and the inner surface of the other branch, the other two suspensi are arranged in such a way that the center of gravity of the charged loading device remains between the fixing points of the four suspensions, so that they support substantially the same mass.
- the frame is substantially horizontal, the two other elastic suspensions being disposed near the space between the two branches of the frame, and the motors rotate in the same direction, causing a rotation of the frame around the axis located at the intersection between the average plane of the motors and the plane transverse to the frame.
- an opening is formed on the arm of the frame not carrying the jack, this opening accommodating the end of at least one pneumatic hammer, fixed on at least one integral amount of the base, which allows to hammer the piece to disrupt when the latter is tightened in the frame, so as to disintegrate the casting cores.
- the space between the legs of the frame has a bottom provided with an opening, to facilitate both the clamping of the workpiece to be unraveled, and the evacuation of the sand out of the frame.
- the stripping device comprises two pairs of lateral springs, of substantially horizontal axis, integral with both the frame and an amount fixed to the base, allowing the resonance of the chassis.
- the frame consists of a body and a head, the head comprising the two branches of the frame and being secured to a rod passing through the body of the frame, and driven in rotation about the axis of the frame. chassis thanks to an engine.
- the chassis is substantially vertical and the engines rotate in the opposite direction, causing reciprocating movement of the chassis in translation along the axis located at the intersection of the average plane of the chassis and the transverse plane to the engines passing through the center of engines.
- the stripping device comprises at least one pair of pneumatic hammers, fixed on at least one integral amount of the base, which allows to hammer the piece to break each side of the frame when the latter is clamped in the space between the two legs of the frame, so as to disintegrate the casting cores.
- the clamping plate is equipped with a blowing system to promote the evacuation of the sand out of the room to break.
- the débourrage device comprises a frame (1) fork-shaped with two branches (11, 12), substantially horizontal.
- the frame (1) is supported by four elastic suspensions (2) of substantially vertical axis, which can be deformed transversely, and distributed on a base (3) so as to support each substantially the same mass.
- the unstacking device also comprises two unbalance motors (4) fixed to the frame, each on one side, at the rear of the fork.
- the space (13) between the two legs (11, 12) of the frame (1) allows to accommodate the room to break.
- the space (13) between the legs (11, 12) of the frame (1) comprises a bottom provided with an opening (135), which facilitates both the installation of the piece to break up and remove the sand from the frame (1).
- the wall of the branch (12) not carrying the jack (5) is provided with an opening (125) through which the end of at least one substantially horizontal pneumatic hammer (7) mounted on a post ( 8) fixed on the base (3).
- the device comprises several hammers (7), the latter are arranged one above the other, perpendicular to the average plane of the frame (1).
- the unbalance motors (4) of the unclogging device turn in the same direction, when the device is in operation.
- the resulting movement of the frame (1) then causes a rotation of the piece about the vertical axis (zz) located at the intersection of the plane (yz) passing through the pair of motors (4) and the vertical plane (xz) transverse to the frame (1).
- the part is then, in turn, in contact with the hammers (7), and not in contact with the hammers, which allows hammering of the piece by the hammers (7).
- the hammering is performed before starting the engines.
- the embodiment of the figure 2 is the same as that of the figure 1 , in addition to four springs (9) side, substantially horizontal axis, which are fixed in pairs on each side of the frame (1), transversely thereto. One of their ends is fixed to the legs (11, 12) of the frame (1), and their other end to a post (10) fixed on the base (3).
- Hammers (7) pneumatic hammering, and the plate (6) which arises at the end of the jack (5), although not shown on the figure 2 are part of the deburring device according to this embodiment.
- the presence of the springs (9) modifies the resonance natural frequency of the frame (1) to bring it to the value of the vibration frequency of the motors (4).
- the vibration frequency of the chassis is increased, for example by a factor of 10, which makes it possible, with a low excitation effort, to obtain an acceptable amplitude value for unclogging.
- the presence of these springs (9) can significantly reduce the power, size and weight of the motors (4) imbalance. They no longer have to provide the effort required for the vibration, but only to excite the device at its resonant frequency.
- a frequency converter is used to adjust the excitation frequency to the exact frequency of the chassis (1).
- the frame (1) substantially fork-shaped fork is in two parts: the body (14), on the one hand, and the head (15), on the other.
- the head (15) of the frame consisting of the two branches (11, 12) of the fork, is integral with a rod (16) passing through the body (14) of the frame (1), and parallel to the axis (xx). ) of the frame (1).
- This rod (16) guided by a guide (17) inside the body (14) of the frame (1), can rotate around the axis (xx) of the frame (1) by means of a motor (18) to which it is connected, which is fixed on the base (3).
- the body (14) is supported by the same four elastic suspensions (2) as in the embodiment of the figure 1 , distributed so as to support each substantially the same mass.
- the body (14) vibrates around the vertical axis (zz) by means of two counterbalanced motors (4) rotating in the same direction, of substantially vertical axis, and fixed to the body (14) of the frame (1), each on one side of the frame (1).

- the stripping device also comprises at least one pneumatic hammer for hammering, not shown. In the embodiment of this device, the hammering is performed before the start of the engines. This embodiment also allows excellent emptying of the sand since the part can be rotated 360 °.
- the frame (1) is substantially vertical. As in the embodiment of the figure 1 , he is supported by four suspensions (2) elastic, vertical axis, fixed on a base (3), these suspensions can deform elastically transversely. As in the other embodiments, they are distributed so as to support each substantially the same mass.
- Two counter-rotating unbalance motors (4) are attached to the frame, each on one side of one of the branches (11). The part to be disrupted is to be clamped in the space (13) between the two legs (11, 12) of the frame (1), with the aid of a jack (5) for example pneumatic, on which is placed a plate (6), and which is mounted in the inner wall of one of the branches (11).
- the resulting movement of the frame (1) then causes an alternating movement in translation of the part along the horizontal axis (xx) located at the intersection of the plane (xz) means of the frame (1) and the plane (xy) transverse to motors (4) passing through the center of the engines.
- the stripping device comprises at least two pneumatic hammers (7) fixed in pairs on uprights fixed on the base (3).
- the end of the hammers (7) is no longer in the frame (1), as in the embodiment of the figure 1 but on each side of the arm (12) opposite to that on which the jack (5) is mounted.
- the hammering is performed on the parts of the workpiece that protrude from each side of the frame (1).
- This embodiment is therefore particularly well suited to break large parts.
- the hammering is performed before starting the engines.
- the stripping device is enclosed in a soundproof enclosure (19) having an access (20) automatically or manually closable, for loading and clamping a workpiece in the débourrer device .
- Loading and unloading can be done manually or using a robot (21).
- the stripping devices are arranged either parallel to each other along a line, the access being all located on the same side of the line, or on a circular arc, the access then being all oriented towards the center of this arc of a circle.
- the variant in an arc allows however to pass more quickly from one stripping device to another, so to increase the stripping performance.
- Such a robotic process makes it possible to simultaneously use different stripping devices according to the embodiments of the invention.
