Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of die casting, and in particular to a die casting system for metal parts. Background Art

[0002] A die-casting machine is a series of industrial casting machines that hydraulically injects molten metal into a die under pressure, where it cools and forms, producing a solid metal casting after the die is opened. As one of the most advanced metal forming methods, die-casting is an effective way to achieve minimal metal cutting in modern metal forming processes. Furthermore, die-cast metal parts closely resemble the final shape and size requirements, offering unparalleled advantages over other processes for the mass production of complex precision castings. The die-casting mold has a cavity with several molten metal filling channels located within it. The channels are terminated by centralized exhaust ducts.

[0003] In terms of technology, die casting, like other manufacturing methods, also has some disadvantages: during die casting, the molten metal fills the cavity in a high-speed jet state, the flow state is unstable, most of the gas in the cavity cannot be discharged in time and will inevitably be drawn into the molten metal and eventually remain in the casting in the form of pores. There are also some oxide inclusions, which lead to defects such as poor mechanical properties of the die casting. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The core has a recessed portion at the center of its upper surface, a first through hole penetrating the recessed portion is formed on the core, a first movable post is mounted in the first through hole and can move up and down in the first through hole, the upper surface of the first movable post is flush with the bottom surface of the recessed portion, a first flange portion is provided at the lower portion of the first movable post along the circumferential direction, a first cap body is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower mold, the lower end of the first movable post is embedded in the first cap body, an elastic component is sleeved on the first movable post and is located between the lower surface of the first flange portion and the first cap body, the elastic component is formed by a plurality of spring sheets that are staggered and stacked;

[0007] A second runner groove is provided on the upper surface of the core and on the side of the core opposite to the diverter cone, the second runner groove is connected to the gap formed between the cavity and the core, the lower mold is provided with a second through hole which is connected to the second runner groove, a second movable column which can move up and down in the second through hole is installed in the second through hole, the top surface of the second movable column is flush with the bottom surface of the second runner groove, the lower part of the second movable column has a second flange portion arranged along the circumferential direction, a second cap body is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower mold, the lower end of the second movable column is embedded in the second cap body, a second elastic component is sleeved on the second movable column, and is located between the lower surface of the second flange portion and the second cap body;

[0008] The diverter cone has a diverter groove in the middle of the upper surface, and a guide groove for connecting the diverter groove and the first flow channel groove is also provided on the upper surface of the diverter cone.

A third elastic component is mounted on the third movable column and is located between the lower surface of the third flange portion and the third cap body.

[0009] The further improved scheme in the above technical scheme is as follows:

[0010] 1. In the above solution, at least two corners of the upper surface of the lower mold have a protrusion.

[0011] 2. In the above solution, a plurality of grooves corresponding to the protrusions are provided on the lower surface of the upper mold.

[0012] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] 1. The die-casting system for metal parts of the present invention, through the arrangement of movable columns and elastic components, can provide a pressure buffer when the die-casting liquid enters the mold, thereby applying reverse pressure to the part during the part molding process, providing continuous pressure to the locally thicker part area.

The provision of the second runner groove provides a molding buffer space to ensure balanced and stable pressure. At the same time, it can remove gas and oxide inclusions that have not been discharged from the mold cavity and enter the molten metal and eventually form slag bags in the second runner groove, thereby preventing gas and oxide impurities from remaining in the molded part and forming pores and defects, thereby ensuring the quality of the molded part. In addition, the lower mold has a second through hole that is connected to the second runner groove. A second movable column that can move up and down in the second through hole is installed in the second through hole. The top surface of this second movable column is flush with the bottom surface of the second flow channel groove, and the lower part of the second movable column has a second flange portion arranged along the circumferential direction. A second cap body is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower mold, and the lower end of the second movable column is embedded in the second cap body. A second elastic component is sleeved on the second movable column and is located between the lower surface of the second flange portion and the second cap body. Through the arrangement of the second movable column and the second elastic component, a pressure buffer zone can be provided when the die-casting liquid enters the mold, and then reverse pressure is applied to the part during the part molding process, so as to overcome the molding defects of the front end of the part caused by insufficient pressure due to the front end of the part being too far away from the die-casting liquid inlet, thereby further improving the quality of the part after molding.

[0015] 3. The die-casting molding system of the metal part of the present invention has a third through hole connected to the diverter groove on its diverter cone, and a third movable column that can move up and down in the third through hole is installed in the third through hole, and the top surface of the third movable column is flush with the bottom surface of the diverter groove, and the lower part of the third movable column has a third flange portion arranged along the circumferential direction, and a third cap body is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the diverter cone, and the lower end of the third movable column is embedded in the third cap body.
