    Abstract: An automatic circumferential insertion apparatus and method for a complex rotary preform. The apparatus includes a double-hinge yarn carrier and a U-shaped bracket. Two ends of the double-hinge yarn carrier are respectively provided with a cylindrical hinge structure. One cylindrical hinge structure is in revolute pair connection with an outer clamping buckle at one end of the U-shaped bracket, and the other cylindrical hinge structure is in revolute pair connection with an inner clamping buckle at the other end of the U-shaped bracket. Two sides of the U-shaped bracket are provided with an electromagnet, respectively. The outer clamping buckle is provided with a pin, which is controlled by trigging, and is triggered simultaneously with the electromagnet at the side where the outer clamping buckle is arranged.

    Abstract: A method for dynamically measuring deformation of a rotating-body mold, including: (S1) subjecting an overall outer surface of the rotating-body mold to three-dimensional measurement to acquire an initial point cloud data; (S2) shooting, by a multi-camera system, the mold from different angles to obtain three-dimensional coordinates of marking points and coding points on the overall outer surface of the rotating-body mold; (S3) rotating the mold, and repeatedly photographing the marking points and the coding points on the mold surface under different angle poses; and calculating three-dimensional coordinates of the marking points and the coding points; and (S4) predicting a point cloud data of the outer surface under different angle poses based on a conversion relationship among the marking points to analyze a deformation degree of the mold during a rotation process.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a negative pressure film-covering frozen sand mold includes: directly obtaining a mold cavity of a sand mold through numerically controlled machining of a frozen sand blank; covering a surface, brushed with a thermal insulation coating, of the mold cavity of the sand mold with a softened thin film, and covering an outer surface of the sand mold with a back film to seal a sand box; fixing the frozen sand mold in an air extraction sand box with a vacuum chamber, and extracting air through a vacuum pump, so that the thin film tightly adheres to the sand mold through vacuum suction force; and closing the box to obtain an integral sand mold, and pouring a casting at room temperature or low temperature under negative pressure. The method is environment-friendly, and the prepared frozen sand mold has high strength and is convenient for sand cleaning.

    Abstract: An interlayer pre-cooling apparatus for a sand mold freezing printing includes a sand paving apparatus. The sand paving apparatus is located above a negative-pressure low-temperature forming chamber, and the sand paving apparatus includes several independent sand paving grooves, a hollow sand paving roller, a cooling chamber, a sand scraping plate, and an openable and closable baffle. The openable and closable baffle is rotationally arranged at a discharge port of each sand paving apparatus, and the openable and closable baffle is used for paving low temperature premixed sand on demand. The premixed molding sand is further cooled during the process of scraping and compacting low-temperature molding sand. When the apparatus is adopted for sand mold freezing 3D printing, the low temperature of the premixed molding sand is precisely controllable, which has great significance for realizing interlayer pre-cooling of the sand mold freezing printing.
