Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-temperature alloy investment casting technology, and in particular to a molding die for starting turbine wax molds. Background Technology
[0002] Starting turbine blades are a core component of an engine. They operate in high-temperature environments and are subjected to complex stress and strain, requiring them to possess high temperature resistance, strength, and creep resistance. As the performance requirements for aero engines continue to increase, the temperature resistance of existing high-temperature alloy materials has reached its limit. Changing the cooling structure of the blades and improving cooling efficiency have become goals pursued by engine designers.
[0003] The internal shape of hollow blades is extremely complex, requiring high dimensional accuracy and strict wall thickness. Traditional methods such as forging and electrochemical machining cannot achieve the expected performance requirements, and 3D printing cannot meet the dimensional accuracy requirements. Therefore, to obtain high-performance, high-precision hollow blades, the "investment casting + precision casting" technique can solve this problem. The general casting process for hollow blade products is as follows: preparing a ceramic core → preparing a wax model → preparing a mold shell → melting and pouring → post-processing.
[0004] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a certain type of starting turbine. The blades on this starting turbine are hollow, and the key technology for precision investment casting of this starting turbine is the wax pattern preparation process.
[0005] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 The diagram shows a wax model structure for starting a turbine. The wax model has a disc body 100 and an annular body 101. The disc body 100 and the annular body 101 are connected by multiple hollow blades 102. The inner cavity of the blades 102 extends downward and penetrates the annular body 101. Three ingates 103 are formed on the lower surface of the annular body 101. Three fan-shaped protrusions 104 are evenly distributed on the top surface of the disc body 100.
[0006] The difficulty in preparing the above-mentioned wax model lies in how to accurately position the ceramic core in the molding die, and how to ensure that the ceramic core is not displaced due to the impact of the wax material during the wax filling process, which would cause the blade wall thickness to exceed the tolerance, thus obtaining a qualified wax part.

The blades of this starting turbine are hollow, and the key technology in the precision investment casting of this starting turbine is the wax pattern preparation process. (Combined with...) Figure 3 , Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic of a wax model for a starting turbine. The wax model comprises a disc 100 and an annular body 101. The disc 100 and the annular body 101 are connected by multiple hollow blades 102. The inner cavity of the blades 102 extends downward and penetrates the annular body 101. Three ingates 103 are formed on the lower surface of the annular body 101, and three fan-shaped protrusions 104 are evenly distributed on the top surface of the disc 100. After the wax model is used to cast the part, the three fan-shaped protrusions 104 serve as clamping points for machining the part.
[0044] Combination Figures 5 to 16 The image shows a specific embodiment of a molding die for a starting turbine wax mold provided by the present invention. The molding die includes a positioning plate 1, a lower template 2, an upper template 3, and a pressure plate 5 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. An annular platform 1a is provided at the center of the top surface of the positioning plate 1, and a core post socket 5 is installed in the central countersunk hole of the annular platform 1a. A plurality of core post insertion holes 5a are evenly distributed in a ring on the core post socket 5, and a ceramic core post 6 is vertically inserted into the core post insertion hole 5a. The lower end face of the ceramic core post 6 abuts against the top surface of the annular platform 1a. A ceramic core disk 7 is installed in the annular countersunk groove on the top surface of the lower template 2, and a plurality of blade forming holes 7a are evenly distributed in a ring on the ceramic core disk 7.

The outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the ceramic core post 6 is spaced apart from the inner surface of the blade forming hole 7a. The inner hole of the blade 102 on the wax model is formed by using a ceramic core post 6. The gap between the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the ceramic core post 6 and the inner hole surface of the blade forming hole 7a on the ceramic core plate 7 is used to ensure the wall thickness of the blade 102 on the wax model.
[0045] By adopting the above structure, the lower end and middle part of the ceramic core 6 are positioned by the core slot 5a on the core slot socket 5 and the core slot positioning hole 2a on the lower template 2, respectively. The top surface of the annular platform 1a is used to axially limit the ceramic core 6, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the ceramic core 6. At the same time, the ceramic core plate 7 is installed and positioned by using the annular groove on the top surface of the lower template 2, ensuring the relative position of the ceramic core plate 7 and the ceramic core 6. This ensures that a uniform gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the ceramic core 6 and the inner hole surface of the blade forming hole 7a, thereby ensuring that the wall thickness of the blade 102 on the wax mold is uniform.
[0046] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 14As shown, a positioning protrusion 7b is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic core disk 7, and a positioning notch 2b is provided on the side wall of the annular groove of the lower template 2; the positioning protrusion 7b is stuck in the positioning notch 2b, which plays a circumferential limiting role for the ceramic core disk 7 and prevents the ceramic core disk 7 from rotating around its own axis.
[0047] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, an axial limiting notch 6a is provided on the ceramic core pillar 6; two sliding grooves 1b are provided on the positioning plate 1, and a slider 8 is slidably installed on the sliding groove 1b. A semi-ring 9 is fixed to the slider 8, and a retaining flange 9a is integrally formed on the inner hole surface of the semi-ring 9; when the two sliders 8 slide relative to each other on the sliding grooves, the two semi-rings 9 are spliced into a complete ring, and the retaining flange 9a rests on the top surface of the core pillar socket 5, which plays a role in axially pressing the core pillar socket 5. At the same time, the retaining flange 9a is engaged in the axial limiting notch 6a of the ceramic core pillar 6, which can prevent the ceramic core pillar 6 from axially moving. A handle 34 is provided on the slider 8, which facilitates pulling the slider 8 outward after the mold is opened.

[0049] Combination Figure 12 , Figure 14 As shown, wax inlet grooves 11 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the lower template 2 and the lower surface of the upper template 3; wax injection ports 12 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the lower template 2 and the side of the upper template 3; the wax injection ports 12 are connected to the wax inlet grooves 11; the cavity of the upper template 3 is connected to the wax inlet grooves 11 through three connecting grooves 13; the wax inlet grooves 11 are semi-circular in shape and are concentrically arranged with the cavities of the lower template 2 and the upper template 3, and are located outside the cavities of the lower template 2 and the upper template 3. In this embodiment, the cavity of the upper template 3 is used to form the disc body 100 of the wax model, the annular groove of the lower template 2 is a stepped groove structure, the ceramic core disc 7 is installed on the stepped surface of the stepped groove, and the lower part of the stepped groove is used to form the annular body 101 of the wax model. During wax injection, the wax material enters the cavity of the upper mold plate 3 through three connecting grooves 13, which diverts the wax material and does not impact the ceramic core column 6, thus preventing the ceramic core column 6 from shifting or breaking.
[0050] Combination Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, three fan-shaped recesses 3a are evenly distributed on the top wall of the cavity of the upper mold plate 3 for forming the fan-shaped protrusions 104 on the wax model; an venting groove 3d is provided on the top surface of the upper mold plate 3; the venting groove 3d and the fan-shaped recesses 3a are connected by an venting hole 3b, and a vent plug 3c is inserted into the venting hole 3b. By providing the venting hole 3b, the molding die plays a role in venting during wax injection.
[0051] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, three fan-shaped holes are evenly distributed on the lower template 2, the positioning plate 1, and the core column socket 5 for the inner sprue 103 on the molding wax model.
[0052] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, a base plate 14 is spaced below the positioning plate 1, and two support plates 15 are positioned between the base plate 14 and the positioning plate 1.

Two baffles 26 are also positioned between the base plate 14 and the positioning plate 1. A first screw 28 connects and fixes the base plate 14, baffles 26, and positioning plate 1. Specifically, the first screw 28 passes through the base plate 14 and baffles 26 from bottom to top and is screwed onto the positioning plate 1. The base plate 14 and the baffles 26 are also fastened together by multiple second screws 29.
[0053] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 1 and the lower template 2 are fastened together by multiple third screws 30. The pressure plate 4 and the upper template 3 are connected by multiple fourth screws 31. In this embodiment, lifting rings 33 are respectively provided on the end faces of both ends of the upper template 3. When lifting the entire forming mold, it is necessary to fix the assembly formed by the pressure plate 4 and the upper template 3 onto the lower template 2. At this time, fifth screws 32 can be used to pass through the pressure plate 4 and the upper template 3 from top to bottom and then screw them onto the lower template 2.
