Design of miniature automatic wax moulding machine based on pneumatic control for teaching purposes
Aiming at the problems such as the large volume and high maintenance cost of the exist-ing wax pattern moulding machine,which was not suitable for practical teaching,a miniature auto-matic wax pattern moulding machine based on pneumatic control was designed,and it used com-pressed air as the power source.The design results showed that the pneumatic pressurized driving scheme was used with the advantages of high space utilization rate,small overall size,and light weight,the modular design such as the injection mechanism and the mould closing mechanism was adopted,which was not only conducive to students'rapid mastery of the moulding process,but also convenient for understanding the design ideas of typical engineering products.The appli-cation of the experimental device could increase the correlation between experimental projects,improve students'practical participation,and enhance students'engineering practical ability.
