Definitions

  • a rotary drum adapted to receive the hot castings and mold sand contents of mold flasks is provided near its discharge end with a circumferentially perforate section for separating the dried sand with its remaining section imperforate.
  • a perforated lining is positioned within the and spaced from the drum and extends over at least part of the length of the imperforate section so as to improve tumbling contact between sand and castings in that section by cycling sand continuousl into the space between the liner and drum and then back into the liner as the drum and liner rotate.
  • This invention relates to an improvement of the rotary drum for cooling castings and for cooling and drying the mold sand used for said castings, the contents of the flasks being dumped into the rotary drum, having an imperforate foremost section and a perforated section joined to said first section, as described in patent application 489,714 of Sept. 23, 1965, now Patent No 3,388,478, patented June 18, 1968.
  • the invention has for its object to accelerate the cooling of the castings and the sand and according to the invention a perforated lining is provided at least along a part of the length of the foremost drum section, where the wall of the drum is imperforated, said lining rotating together with the drum and defining a circumferential space with the wall of the drum.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the drum with part in section and FIG. 2 is an end view of the drum.
  • a lining 3 is provided in the drum 1 which in its rearmost part is provided with perforations 2 and said lining has perforations 4 and extends at least along part 3,469,324 Patented Sept. 30, 1969 of the length of the imperforated part of the drum.
  • the perforated lining 3 is supported in the drum by means of beams 5 extending in longitudinal direction so that a space 6 is left between the lining and the Wall of the drum.
  • the drum 1 is supported in a frame 7 on which a driving shaft 9 with a motor 8 are supported.
  • Two chain wheels 10 are secured on the shaft 10 and drive chains 11 engaging a toothed rim arranged on the drum impart rotary drive to the latter.
  • the flasks after having been subjected to an initial cooling are opened and dumped into a casing 13 at 12, said casing opening into the open foremost end of the drum, so that the sand constitutes a slope at said end of the drum and the castings are surrounded by humid sand, whereby the heat of the castings is withdrawn very uniformly, so that stresses due to shrinking of the castings are avoided.
  • the transport of the castings and the sand in the drum may be obtained by blades secured at the inner side of the perforated lining and already partly dried sand falls through the perforations 4 of the lining into the space 6 and is moved upwards in order to fall back in the drum when the perforations reach their highest position so that the sand again comes into contact with the castings.
  • the now completely dry and ground sand leaves the drum at the rearmost part through the perforations 2 and the castings leave the drum at its open end at 15.
  • the space 6 between the perforated lining 3 and the circumferential wall of the drum 1 may be divided in compartments by means of partitions.
  • a fan 17 draws air through the drum by means of a conduit 14 connected to the casing 13 and which conduit opens into a dust separator 16 so that said air carries away the water vapour, dust and broken quartz grains from the drum.
  • a machine for cooling castings and drying mold sand of the type including a substantially horizontal drum, means mounting said drum for rotation about its longitudinal axis, said drum having an inlet opening at one end and a discharge opening at its other end, and said drum having an imperforate section adjacent said inlet opening and a perforate section adjacent said discharge opening whereby castings and mold sands are comingled within said imperforate section, mold sand is separated from the castings and discharged at said perforate section, and castings are discharged at said discharge opening, the improve ment comprising:
  • a liner disposed within said drum along at least a part of the length of said imperforate section, said liner being secured for rotation with said drum and defining a sand-receiving space between the liner and drum,
  • said liner being perforate to allow sand to recycle from the interior of the liner whereat the castings and mold sand comingle, into said sand-receiving space and back into the interior of said liner in response to rotation of said drum and liner, whereby to enhance the cooling of the castings by the sand and the drying of the sand by the castings.
