Abstract: An opening and closing device is provided. The opening and closing device includes a housing, a displacement restricting part, an electrical driving module, and an electroless driving module. The displacement restricting part is capable of moving with respect to the housing when the electrical driving module is in an unlocked state. The electrical driving module is capable of restricting the displacement restricting part from moving with respect to the housing when the electrical driving module is in a locked state. The electroless driving module is capable of releasing the electrical driving module's restriction over the moving of the displacement restricting part with respect to the housing via the hand-driven part.

Abstract: The application provides a plaster casting mold fabrication method for a complicated structure aluminum alloy casting with a large inner cavity and a thin wall, in which, a wax pattern is cleaned with a mixture; closed blind cavity and large plane unbeneficial to plaster mold-filling of the wax pattern are used to exhaust air by using vent holes and waterproof-breathable membranes in cooperation with each other; under pressure difference, plaster powder and mixed aqueous solution are vertically splashed and mixed in a mixing tank to reduce dust discharge; asynchronous mixing and grouting can be realized by left and right mixing tanks in an upper tank of a vacuum tank. The present application can effectively remove the surface parting agent, increase the wettability of the plaster paste and the wax pattern surface, and improve the surface finish of the casting mold.
