ROLLING TRAIN AND APPARATUS FOR CASTING MOLDS KNOCK-OUT Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: rolling train for casting molds knock-out, that mainly have center crosses in the lower molding frame, has joined by transportation means knocking-out apparatus with a knocking-out lattice; position for molding frames cleaning; a line of cast filled molds transportation, made in the form of casting truck conveyer; lines of transportation and knock-out of correspondingly the lower and the upper half-molds and of molding frames cleaning; a line of ingots removing and processing; means for transportation of knocked out molding frames for further molding and means for ingots suspension. In the case means of half-molds, molding frames and ingots transportation are made in the form of transportation devices with upper location of rails. Knocking-out apparatus is made as a multipositioned rotating table, one of positions of which is located over the knocking-out lattice, mounted stationary with capability of its working bodies to be engaged with a half-mold, and under the line of ingots removal and processing. At least two positions are located under the line of molding frames transportation. Lines of upper and lower molding frames transportation are joined and their track is made as a closed form and is placed over the molding frames cleaning position, on which tools for molding frames cleaning are located. Transportation means of transportation lines of ingots and molding frames are made in the form of transportation robots, that have shaking up devices and manipulators and are located on closed track and are capable to move along it in one direction. Apparatus for casting molds knock-out has: a knocking-out lattice; a transportation mean to transport half-molds to the knocking-out position in the form of a turning table; position of the upper half-mold removal and position of the lower half-mold removal; a bunker to collect wastes; a reloading mechanism with a drive for vertical motion and clamps; located on monorail lines robots-reloaders of ingots, upper and lower molding frames. In the case, the knocking-out lattice is set under the turning table on the lower half-molds knocking-out position. The monorail line of the robot-reloader of ingots is located over the knock-out position and the monorail line of robots-reloaders of upper and lower molding frames is located over the upper half-mold taking up position and the lower half-mold removal position. EFFECT: rolling train and apparatus are used for casting molds knocking-out. 3 cl, 4 dwg
