Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mechanical method and a device for removing inner cores from castings after the casting metal has hardened.
  • Inner cores are bodies of core sand that have the inner contours of castings. They must have a relatively high strength so that they can withstand the forces that occur during casting and especially when cooling. On the other hand, they should also disintegrate easily so that the casting can be easily freed from the core when cleaning.
  • openings so-called core holes are provided, which e.g. created by core brands and should facilitate or facilitate the removal of the cores in the blow room.
  • Vibration energy is transferred from the outside via the casting to the core, which is destroyed thereby and breaks up into fragments or flows down from the core holes.
  • the impact energy must be below the destruction energy for the casting, but must be so high that the core is destroyed.
  • Thin-walled castings require a core of relatively high strength so that the casting can be safely carried by the core during casting and hardening. Such castings, however, have a relatively low strength, so that excessive energy for destroying the core is not transmitted to the casting can be, if you want to prevent cracks in the casting or unwanted permanent deformation. From DE-A-34 24 000 it is known to tap castings to remove inner cores. For the same purpose it is known from DE-A-33 19 312 to use vibration energy.
  • varying impulses are transmitted via the wall of the casting to the core or the fragments of the core during the coring.
  • the intricately constructed casting 1 is part of a motor vehicle engine and has two lateral cavities 2, an intermediate space 3 connecting the cavities 2 and openings 4 in the wall of the intermediate space. Relatively narrow channels 5 are provided between the intermediate space 3 and the cavities 2. The entire interior of the casting ... is filled with the molding sand core after casting. The molding sand core is to be destroyed and removed from the casting via opening 4.
  • castings 1 are automatically transported in row 6 with suitable transport means 6a and individually placed on a knocking table 7 and held there. Then, with the plunger 9 of a pneumatic jack 8 known per se, a certain impact or knock energy is applied to the rear wall 10 of the intermediate space 3.
  • the impulses of the knock energy are transmitted through the wall of the casting to the core, which adheres to the inner wall of the casting, and produce cracks in the core, so that the core is broken down into several sections.
  • the core material is detached from the inner wall of the casting, whereby abrasion (loose molding sand) is formed. The abrasion dampens the impact energy so that it becomes relatively ineffective.
  • the shape of the impact impulses is shown by way of example and schematically from FIG. 2. These are medium-frequency vibrations of low amplitude (vibration range) but high acceleration (impact energy). For example, knocking takes place at approximately 13 Hz and a single impact work of approximately 44 Nm.
  • the impact work, the frequency and the amplitudes are preferably varied during the tapping on a casting. The required impact work and amplitude are determined empirically for different castings and different core material.
  • the vibrating table 11 After tapping the casting 1 is conveyed to a vibrating table 11 and clamped there firmly.
  • the vibrating table 11 has means 12 for generating vibration energy and means 13 for transmitting the vibration energy to the casting 1.
  • the vibrating table 11 is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis 14 in the direction of the arrow 15 and about an axis 16 perpendicular thereto in the direction of the arrow 17, so that the vibrating table 11 and thus the casting 1 during vibration about these axes 14, 16 with corresponding drive means (not shown) ) can be rotated.
  • the casting 1 is shaken, that is to say set in oscillations of high acceleration and low frequency, with amplitudes being selected whose height is greater than the distance between the inner wall of the casting and the remaining pieces of the core.
  • the inner wall thus hits the core pieces before the upper and lower turning point of the amplitude and further crushes them.
  • the amplitude height is adapted to the increasing distance between core remnants and the inner wall of the casting.
  • the casting is preferably rotated about the axes 14, 16 during the shaking and the shaking is expediently interrupted in the meantime and pouring energy is introduced, as described above, so that the abrasion caused by the shaking can flow off.
  • the buffer effect caused by the abrasion between the inner wall of the casting and the core remnants is eliminated and the vibrating energy is optimized.
  • the shaking and, if appropriate, trickle vibration is continued until the core fragments are so small that they fit through the channels 5 and openings 4 of the casting.
  • the simultaneous rotation of the casting while shaking and vibrating means that core pieces do not get stuck in vibration nodes and remain there unreduced.
  • Fig. 3 shows an example of a vibration energy, which is preferably carried out up and down. Zones 1 and 2 illustrate this alternation. It can be carried out in terms of duration as well as in terms of frequency and amplitude.
  • the shaking is preferably carried out at changing frequencies between 0 to 50 Hz. Centrifugal forces of approximately 30,000 N are expediently generated.
  • the optimal vibrating energy is determined empirically like the optimal tapping energy for certain castings and certain molding sand properties.
  • An essential part of the method according to the invention is the variation of the vibrations according to the different tasks that they are supposed to fulfill.
  • a known electro-pneumatic hammer with an electro-pneumatic hammer mechanism can also be used.
  • a hydraulic hammer known per se which is operated with oil pressure, is also suitable.
  • the hydraulic hammer has the advantage of a smaller, compact design and less noise.
  • a hydraulic pump works more quietly than a compressor.
  • the vibration table 11 is preferably operated with a known high-frequency electro-vibrator 12. Frequency and voltage converters are provided to drive the high-frequency electric vibrator, which provide the vibration energy required for the invention.
