Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic core mold technology, and more particularly to a ceramic core mold for ceramic pipe fittings. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic fittings have excellent high-temperature resistance properties, so they are used in argon arc welding torches to house the gas guide tube and tungsten needle.
[0003] Existing TIG welding torches include straight-tube TIG welding torches for welding surface gaps and bent-tube TIG welding torches for welding gaps located inside the cavity of an appliance.
[0004] The ceramic tube fittings for the bent-tube type TIG welding torch consist of two parts: a hollow ceramic straight tube fitting for mounting the gas guide tube and tungsten needle, and a hollow ceramic bent tube fitting for connecting the tungsten needle to the electrode.
[0005] If the bent rod and straight rod are connected as a single core-pulling component, and then the core is pulled out from the integral ceramic molded body formed by slip casting, the bent rod is prone to breakage.

The front end of the second core-pulling rod 42 is detachably connected to one end of the third core-pulling rod 43; the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the second core-pulling rod 42 is provided with a second threaded portion 421; the middle part of the second cylindrical channel 12 is provided with a curved cylindrical second forming cavity 121, and the second threaded portion 421 and part of the curved section of the third core-pulling rod 43 are located in the second forming cavity 121; the other end of the third core-pulling rod 43 and the rear end of the second core-pulling rod 42 extend and are exposed in the ceramic core mold respectively; The second threaded portion 421 is screwed into and matched with the first threaded portion 510; the cavity wall of the first forming cavity 131 and the cavity wall of the second forming cavity 121 are respectively connected to the slurry output end of the grouting channel 11.
[0024] Figures 1-3 This is a schematic diagram of the ceramic core mold for the ceramic pipe fitting of the present invention. In the figure, a first gap 1301 is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the first core-pulling rod 32 and the cavity wall surface of the first forming cavity 130; a second gap 1201 is provided between the inner cavity surface of the second forming cavity 121 and the outer peripheral surface of the second core-pulling rod 42 and the outer peripheral surface of the first core-pulling assembly 3; the first gap 1301 and the second gap 1201 are respectively connected to the slurry output end of the slurry channel 11 to inject slurry and form a ceramic straight pipe fitting and a ceramic bent pipe fitting.
[0025] The ceramic core mold of the ceramic pipe fitting of the present invention is provided with a first forming cavity 131 and a second forming cavity 121 for forming ceramic pipe fittings and ceramic bent pipe fittings, respectively. Ceramic slurry containing forming wax is injected through the slurry flow channel 11 into the first gap 1301 and the second gap 1201. After the ceramic slurry solidifies and forms, the first core-pulling rod 32 and the second core-pulling rod 42 are twisted and pulled out from the first forming cavity 131 and the second forming cavity 121, respectively. Then, the other end of the second forming cavity 121 away from the second core-pulling rod 42 is pulled along the ring where the third core-pulling rod 43 is located, so that part of the curved section of the third core-pulling rod 43 located in the second forming cavity 121 can be pulled out. Then the mold is opened, and hollow ceramic straight pipe fittings and hollow ceramic bent pipe fittings are obtained by slurry molding. The outer circumferential surface of one end of the ceramic straight pipe fitting is distributed with external threads, and the inner hole of one end of the ceramic bent pipe fitting is distributed with internal threads, so that the sintered and hardened ceramic straight pipe fittings and ceramic bent pipe fittings can be screwed together as one piece.
[0026] Furthermore, the first core-pulling rod 32 includes a thicker portion 321 and a thinner portion 322; The outer peripheral surface of the front end of the thick part 321 is provided with a third threaded part 3211; the rear end of the thin part 322 is embedded in or connected to the front end of the thick part 321; the axis of the thick part 321 and the axis of the thin part 322 are the same straight line, and the diameter of the thick part 321 is larger than the diameter of the thin part 322. The rear half of the thick portion 321 extends rearward and is exposed outside the ceramic core mold; The first molding cavity 131 is divided into a rear cavity 1311 and a front cavity 1312; the front half of the thick body part 321 is located in the rear cavity 1311, and the thin body part 322 is located in the front cavity 1312.
[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, after the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the front half of the thick body portion 321 and the cavity wall surface of the rear cavity portion 1311 is formed by grouting, a hollow ceramic straight tube head is formed, and the third threaded portion 3211 forms an internal thread of the ceramic straight tube head.
[0028] After grouting, the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the larval part 322 and the cavity wall surface of the front cavity part 1312 is formed into a hollow straight tube part that connects to the head; the tail end of the tungsten electrode needle of the argon arc gun passes through the head and straight tube part of the ceramic straight tube in sequence and is connected to the electrode. The gap between the outer peripheral surface of the tungsten electrode needle and the inner wall of the head is used to install the gas guide sleeve. The external thread of the outer peripheral surface of the gas guide sleeve is screwed into the internal thread of the head of the ceramic tube.
[0029] Furthermore, it also includes an insert 5; the insert 5 is provided with a through hole 51, and the inner wall surface of the through hole 51 is provided with the first threaded portion 510; The insert 5 is divided into two mirror-symmetrical halves, and the through hole 51 extends from front to back through the center of the insert 5. The upper template 1 and the lower template 2 are each provided with two recessed insert grooves 15; the two insert grooves 15 are symmetrically distributed above and below the mold closing surface, and the insert grooves 15 are located at the front end of the front cavity 1312; the two insert grooves 15 are respectively used to receive the two halves of the insert 5; The front end of the larval part 322 passes through the front cavity 1312 and the through hole 51 sequentially from back to front. The gap between the threaded inner wall of the through hole 51 and the front end inner wall of the front cavity 1312 is connected to the front cavity 1312.
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it is difficult to machine the arc surface of the two semi-cylindrical first cylindrical channel 13 to form the first threaded part 510. However, it is obviously more convenient to operate by using the insert 5 to open the through hole 51 and then machining the inner wall of the through hole 51 into the first threaded part 510.
[0031] After the front end of the first gap 1301 is grouted and formed, the tail of the straight tube is formed accordingly. The outer peripheral surface of the tungsten electrode needle's tail abuts against the inner wall of the tail of the straight tube. The end of the tungsten electrode needle's tail that passes through the tail of the straight tube is connected to the electrode. The gap between the remaining part of the tungsten electrode needle and the remaining part of the straight tube forms an inert gas guide gap.
[0032] Furthermore, the first core-pulling assembly 3 also includes a first external connector 31; the first cylindrical channel 13 is also provided with a thicker part fixing cavity 132 and a thinner part fixing cavity 133; The thick body fixing cavity 132 extends from the rear end face of the ceramic core mold and communicates with the rear end of the rear cavity 1311; The rear half of the thick part 321 passes through the thick part fixing cavity 132 and is connected to the first external connector 31. The front end face of the first external connector 31 abuts against the rear end face of the ceramic core mold. The rear end of the larval body fixing cavity 133 is connected to the through hole 51; the front end of the larval body 322 extends into the larval body fixing cavity 133 through the through hole 51, and the groove wall of the larval body fixing cavity 133 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the larval body 322.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the rear half of the thick part 321 is fixed by the first external connector 31 and the thick part fixing cavity 132, and the front end of the thin part 322 is fixed by the thin part fixing cavity 133, thereby improving the stability of the first core-pulling rod 32 during the grouting process and preventing the ceramic straight tube from deforming during the molding process.
[0034] Furthermore, by turning the first external connector 31, the coarse part 321 and the thin part 322 with threads distributed on their surfaces are rotated. After the two pairs of corresponding threaded parts separate, the coarse part 321 and the thin part 322 can be pulled out by grasping the first external connector 31 and pulling it outward. This has good operational convenience. The movable parts in the core-pulling process also have good stability. Therefore, it can avoid damage to the slurry-cast ceramic straight pipe fittings during core-pulling, and can improve the finished product qualification rate of ceramic straight pipe fittings.
[0035] Furthermore, the second core-pulling assembly 4 also includes a second external connector 41 and a third external connector 44; The ceramic core mold is also provided with a ring-shaped core-pulling cavity 14, which is divided into upper and lower halves and is recessed inward on the right end face of the upper template 1 and the right end face of the lower template 2, respectively; the ring-shaped core-pulling cavity 14 is provided with a connector placement groove 141. The second cylindrical channel 12 is also provided with a second core-pulling rod fixing cavity 122 of cylindrical shape and a third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123 of curved cylindrical shape; The second core-pulling rod fixing cavity 122 extends into the rear end face of the ceramic core mold and communicates with the second molding cavity. The rear end of the second core-pulling rod 42 extends along the second core-pulling rod fixing cavity 122 and connects with the front end face of the second external connector 41. The front end face of the second external connector 41 abuts against the rear end face of the ceramic core mold. The annulus containing the axis of the third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123, the annulus containing the axis of the second forming cavity 121, and the annulus containing the axis of the third core-pulling rod 43 of the semi-circular cylinder are all the same circle. The third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123 extends along the circle to the front cavity wall of the annulus core-pulling cavity 14. The other end of the third core-pulling rod 43 extends along the third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123 and is connected to the front end face of the third external connector 44. The front end face of the third external connector 44 abuts against the front cavity wall of the annular core-pulling cavity 14. The connector placement groove 141 is recessed inward into the middle of the left cavity wall of the annular core-pulling cavity 14. The connector placement groove 141 is used to place the third external connector 44 connected to the third core-pulling rod 43. The distance between the axis of the connector placement groove 141 and the vertex of the left inner corner of the annular core-pulling cavity 14, and the distance between the center point of the circle where the cavity wall of the third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123 located on the front cavity wall of the annular core-pulling cavity 14 is located and the vertex of the left inner corner of the annular core-pulling cavity 14 are all equal to the radius of the circle.
[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, by turning the second external connector 41, the second core-pulling rod 42 with threads on its surface is rotated. After the corresponding threads are separated, the second core-pulling rod 42 is pulled out by grasping the second external connector 41. The operation is convenient and stable, which can prevent the internal thread of the slurry-cast ceramic bent pipe from being damaged during the core-pulling process, and can improve the finished product qualification rate of the ceramic bent pipe.
[0037] Furthermore, by clamping the third external connector 44 with a fixture and using the left inner corner of the annular core-pulling cavity 14 as the center support point for the rotation of the fixture, the fixture is rotated to allow the third core-pulling rod 43 of the semi-circular cylinder to be pulled out along the annular third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123. This causes the portion of the third core-pulling rod 43 located in the second forming cavity 121 to be pulled out of the second forming cavity 121, and finally allows the third external connector 44 to extend into the connector placement groove 141. The portion of the third core-pulling rod 43 located in the second forming cavity 121 during molding is then located in the third core-pulling rod fixing cavity 123 after being pulled out. After completing these operations, the mold is opened, which can prevent the ceramic bent pipe from being damaged when the third core-pulling rod 43 is pulled out, further improving the integrity of the ceramic bent pipe and the finished product qualification rate.
[0038] Furthermore, the grouting channel 11 is provided with an injection port 111, a first grout outlet 112, and a second grout outlet 113; The grouting channel 11 is distributed between the second molding cavity 121 and the front cavity 1312; The injection port 111 is located on the rear end face of the ceramic core mold; The tail end of the grouting channel 11 extends forward in the horizontal direction to the middle of the front cavity 1312, and then connects to the middle cavity wall of the front cavity 1312 and the cavity wall of the corresponding second threaded portion 421 of the second molding cavity 121 through the first grout outlet 112 and the second grout outlet 113, respectively.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, since the front cavity 1312 is longer and smaller in diameter than the rear cavity 1311 where the thick body 321 is placed, the ceramic slurry can be introduced from the middle of the front cavity 1312. This reduces the decrease in the flow rate and pressure of the ceramic slurry in the front cavity 1312, thereby preventing the pressure of the ceramic slurry in the front cavity 1312 and the rear cavity 1311 from being too low. This ensures the density and strength of the manufactured ceramic straight pipe fittings and guarantees the quality of the output products.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the corresponding part after the second threaded part 421 is grouted is the connection part between the ceramic bent pipe and the ceramic straight pipe. It is the main stress-bearing part when the ceramic bent pipe is connected. By inputting ceramic slurry into the cavity wall of the second threaded part 421 corresponding to the location of the second threaded part 421, the density and stress strength of the obtained part corresponding to the internal thread hole of the ceramic bent pipe can be ensured, thereby ensuring the service life of the ceramic bent pipe.
[0041] Furthermore, the middle part of the grouting channel 11 is also provided with a material head receiving cavity 114; The width and height of the material receiving cavity 114 are both greater than the width and height of the other parts of the grouting channel 11.
[0042] like Figures 1-3 As shown, when the ceramic slurry is first injected into the slurry channel 11, the slurry head entering the slurry channel 11 is prone to rapid temperature drop and hardening due to contact with the mold. If it is fed into the second forming cavity 121 or the front cavity 1312, it will not only be easy to block, but also affect the quality of the produced ceramic bent pipe or ceramic straight pipe. Therefore, it is necessary to use the slurry head receiving cavity 114 to receive the slurry head. In addition, the slurry head receiving cavity 114 also has a buffering effect to release the air in the second forming cavity 121 and the front cavity 1312. It also helps the air in the second forming cavity 121 or the front cavity 1312 to be smoothly discharged from the slurry head receiving cavity 114 when the ceramic slurry enters the second forming cavity 121 or the front cavity 1312, thereby ensuring the integrity of the ceramic bent pipe or ceramic straight pipe and avoiding the formation of sand holes due to the presence of air bubbles in the product.
[0043] Furthermore, the ceramic core mold also has two locking holes 101; The two locking holes 101 pass through the two diagonally opposite corners of the upper template 1 and the two diagonally opposite corners of the lower template 2 from top to bottom; the locking holes 101 are provided with internal threads.
[0044] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the upper template 1 and the lower template 2 can be locked together using a screw through the locking hole 101.
