Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of low-pressure casting, and in particular to a metal mold aluminum alloy low-pressure casting device. Background Art

[0002] Low-pressure casting refers to a casting method in which a mold is generally placed above a sealed crucible, and compressed air is introduced into the crucible to create a low pressure (0.06-0.15MPa) on the surface of the molten metal, so that the molten metal rises from the riser to fill the mold and control solidification. The prototype of low-pressure casting can be traced back to the beginning of the last century. By utilizing the advantages of high material utilization and easy automation of pouring, the low-pressure casting method has gradually established a solid position as the main casting method for light alloy castings, with automotive parts as the center; aluminum alloy is the most widely used type of non-ferrous metal structural material in industry, and has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and chemical industries.

[0014] A method for low-pressure casting of a metal mold aluminum alloy mainly comprises the following steps: S1. Liquid injection: First, put the molten aluminum liquid into the crucible, and then inject gas into the crucible through the gas injection pipe, so that the aluminum liquid inside the base rises into the liquid riser under low-pressure gas, and then the liquid riser injects the rising aluminum liquid into the preheated mold cavity composed of the bottom mold, side mold and upper mold for molding; S2, cooling and shaping: by setting the normal temperature water tank and the refrigeration water tank, coolant can be injected into both the normal temperature water tank and the refrigeration water tank respectively. The temperature of the coolant in the normal temperature water tank is higher than that of the coolant in the refrigeration water tank. Under the drive of the driving component, the coolant on the inner wall of the normal temperature water tank can be transported to the side mold for cooling and shaping, while the coolant in the side mold is transported to the refrigeration water tank through the metal hose for cooling and lowering the temperature; S3. Demolding: After the aluminum alloy casting is formed, the two side molds on the bottom mold are moved away from each other, and the upper mold is moved upward away from the bottom mold, so as to demold the formed aluminum alloy casting.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a metal mold aluminum alloy low-pressure casting device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The metal mold aluminum alloy low-pressure casting device can inject mild coolant into the side mold through the cooperation between the normal temperature water tank, the refrigeration water tank, the drive component and the metal hose. The mild coolant slowly cools the mold. This setting helps to reduce the stress and deformation problems caused by excessive temperature difference in the mold, and helps to maintain the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the product, improve product quality, prevent cracks or deformation on the mold surface caused by excessive cooling speed, and further extend the service life of the mold and the quality of the casting.

[0016] 2. The metal mold aluminum alloy low-pressure casting device can preheat the mold after demolding through the cooperation between the insulation cavity, the spiral tube, the connecting tube and the three-way valve. Through this setting, the preheating mold can reduce the viscosity of the aluminum liquid and improve its fluidity, making it easier to fill the small parts and complex structures in the mold cavity of the mold. At the same time, the temperature difference between the aluminum liquid and the mold can be reduced, thereby reducing the thermal stress caused by the excessive temperature difference, reducing the risk of defects such as cracks and deformation in the casting, and the preheated mold can reach the working state faster, reducing the production preparation time and improving production efficiency.

[0017] 3. The metal mold aluminum alloy low-pressure casting device can extend the circulation speed when the coolant is injected into the mold through the cooperation between the heat dissipation plate, the slow flow plate and the bent cooling channel. Through this setting, the mold can be cooled more evenly, preventing the mold from cooling too fast and failing to evenly absorb the casting surface temperature in time, further improving the casting molding speed.

[0018] The parts not involved in the device are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art. The present invention helps to reduce the stress and deformation problems of the mold caused by excessive temperature difference, and helps to maintain the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the product, improve product quality, prevent cracks or deformation on the mold surface caused by excessive cooling speed, and further extend the service life of the mold and the quality of the casting.

The coolant in the side mold 22 is transported to the refrigeration water tank 42 through the metal hose 44 for cooling. When the driving assembly 43 moves downward, it is used to cool the side mold 22. The internal coolant is extracted through a pipeline and transported to a normal temperature water tank 41. The coolant in the refrigeration water tank 42 is injected into the side mold 22 through a metal hose 44 to cool it down again. The top of the base 1 is fixedly connected to an L bracket 24, and the inner top wall of the L bracket 24 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 1 25. The output end of the cylinder 1 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper mold 23. The side wall of the support platform 2 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 26, and the output end of the cylinder 26 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 27. The connecting plate 27 is fixed to the side wall of the side mold 22. The inner side of the connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to a rack 28. The surface of the rack 28 is meshed with a gear 29. The gear 2 9 is fixed just above the three-way valve 54, the driving assembly 43 includes a reciprocating screw 431 that rotates inside a piston plate 432 through a bearing, a piston plate 432 is provided on the surface of the reciprocating screw 431, the piston plate 432 slides on the inner wall of the refrigeration water tank 42, the top of the reciprocating screw 431 is fixedly connected with a timing pulley 1 433, the inner bottom wall of the support platform 2 is rotatably connected with a timing pulley 2 434 through a driving portion, the timing pulley 2 434 and the timing pulley 1 433 are rotated through belt meshing, the interior of the refrigeration water tank 42 is slidably connected with a floating plate 421, and the top of the floating plate 421 is fixedly connected with a refrigerator 422.

[0024] By adopting such a scheme, a mild coolant is injected into the inside of the side mold 22 through the cooling mechanism 4. The mild coolant helps to reduce the stress and deformation problems of the mold caused by excessive temperature difference, and helps to maintain the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the product, improve product quality, and prevent cracks or deformation problems on the mold surface caused by excessive cooling speed, further extending the service life of the mold and the quality of the casting.

[0025] In specific operation, molten aluminum liquid is first injected into the crucible 11, and then compressed gas is input into the crucible 11 through the gas injection pipe 12 to form pressure on the surface of the aluminum liquid, so that the aluminum liquid passes through the riser pipe 13 and enters the preheating mold cavity composed of the bottom mold 21, two side molds 22 and the upper mold 23; During the molding process of the casting in the mold cavity, the cooling liquid can be injected into the side mold 22 through the cooling mechanism 4, so as to speed up the molding efficiency of the casting in the mold cavity; Under the drive of the driving assembly 43 above the normal temperature water tank 41, the driving part drives the rotation of the timing pulley 2 434, and can drive the timing pulley 1 433 and the reciprocating screw 431 to rotate synchronously in turn under the action of the belt. Under the rotation of the reciprocating screw 431, the piston plate 432 can be moved upward inside the normal temperature water tank 41. When the piston plate 432 moves upward, the normal temperature coolant in the normal temperature water tank 41 can be squeezed and injected into the side mold 22. By injecting the normal temperature coolant into the side mold 22, the casting composed of the mold can be gently cooled down. The original coolant in the side mold 22 will be transported to the inside of the cooling water tank 42 through the metal hose 44. Under the drive of the refrigerator 422 on the top of the floating plate 421 inside the cooling water tank 42, the coolant injected into the cooling water tank 42 can be cooled. When the piston plate 432 on the surface of the reciprocating screw 431 moves downward, the coolant in the side mold 22 will be drawn into the normal temperature water tank 41, and the cooled coolant can be injected into the side mold 22 through the metal hose 44 in the refrigeration water tank 42 for further cooling treatment. When the piston plate 432 reciprocates on the surface of the reciprocating screw 431, the side mold 22 can be continuously cooled. Under continuous, gentle and slow cooling, it helps to reduce the stress and deformation problems of the mold caused by excessive temperature difference, and helps to maintain the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the product, improve product quality, prevent cracks or deformation problems on the mold surface caused by excessive cooling speed, and further extend the service life of the mold and the quality of the casting.

[0026] After the casting in the mold cavity is formed, the compressed gas is stopped to allow the aluminum liquid in the riser 13 to flow back into the crucible 11, and then the cylinder 1 25 on the L bracket 24 is started to drive the upper mold 23 to rise away from the bottom mold 21. At the same time, the two cylinders 26 drive the side mold 22 fixed by the connecting plate 27 to move to one side, so as to move the two side molds 22 away from each other, thereby completing the demolding of the molded casting.

[0027] In addition, the driving part is a servo motor, and an air leakage hole is provided at the bottom of the normal temperature water tank 41.

[0028] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A heat preservation barrel 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the heat preservation barrel 5 is used to cover and insulate the crucible 11. A heat preservation chamber 51 is opened inside the heat preservation barrel 5, and a spiral tube 52 is fixedly connected to the inside of the heat preservation chamber 51. The end of the spiral tube 52 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 53, and the end of the connecting pipe 53 is connected to a three-way valve 54, which is fixed on the surface of the metal hose 44.

[0029] With such a solution, the heat preservation barrel 5 can be provided to cover the four sides of the crucible 11 , thereby keeping the crucible 11 warm and delaying the dissipation of heat outside the crucible 11 .

[0030] In specific operation, the heat preservation barrel 5 is covered on the crucible 11 to insulate the surface of the crucible 11. Then, the spiral tube 52 can be installed in the heat preservation cavity 51 through the opening of the heat preservation cavity 51 inside the heat preservation barrel 5. The heat dissipated by the crucible 11 can be transferred to the heat preservation barrel 5 and the spiral tube 52. Under the heat transfer, the coolant in the spiral tube 52 can be heated to a temperature of several tens of degrees. The heated coolant in the spiral tube 52 can be injected into the three-way valve 54 through the connecting pipe 53. When the three-way valve 54 is switched, During demoulding, the cylinder 26 drives the connecting plate 27 to move to one side, and the connecting plate 27 drives the rack 28 to move synchronously. The gear 29 can be rotated by the displacement of the rack 28. Since the gear 29 is fixed on the three-way valve 54, the valve port of the three-way valve 54 is switched, and the three-way valve 54 and the coolant in the spiral tube 52 are circulated. On the contrary, the three-way valve 54 and the coolant in the refrigeration water tank 42 are blocked, so that the heated coolant can be injected into the side mold 22 through the metal hose 44, so that the coolant can be heated by several tens of degrees. The coolant performs preheating treatment on the side mold 22, so that after the preheated side mold 22 is closed, when the aluminum liquid is injected again, the preheated mold can reduce the viscosity of the aluminum liquid and improve its fluidity, making it easier to fill the small parts and complex structures in the mold cavity of the mold. At the same time, it can reduce the temperature difference between the aluminum liquid and the mold, thereby reducing the thermal stress caused by the large temperature difference, reducing the risk of defects such as cracks and deformation in the casting, and the preheated mold can reach the working state faster, reducing the production preparation time and improving production efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 A cooling mechanism 6 is provided inside the two side molds 22, and the cooling mechanism 6 is used to dissipate heat from the inner wall of the side mold 22. A plurality of arc-shaped heat dissipation plates 61 are vertically and equidistantly fixed on the annular outer side surfaces of the two side molds 22, and the heat dissipation plates 61 penetrate into the inside of the side molds 22. A plurality of arc-shaped slow flow plates 62 are vertically and equidistantly fixed on the annular inner walls of the two side molds 22 away from the heat dissipation plates 61, and the slow flow plates 62 and the heat dissipation plates 61 are staggered to form a bent cooling channel 63.

[0032] By adopting such a scheme, under the setting of the cooling mechanism 6, when the external coolant is injected into the side mold 22, the time of the coolant in the side mold 22 can be extended. By circulating the coolant under the extended time, the casting in the mold cavity is cooled, the speed of casting molding is increased, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0033] During specific operation, the heat sink 61 and the slow flow plate 62 are fixed vertically and equidistantly in the side mold 22. When the coolant enters the side mold 22, it will pass through the heat sink 61 and the bent cooling channel 63 to form a bent cooling channel 63, thereby extending the coolant time inside the side mold 22 to cool the casting in the mold cavity, further improving the molding speed of the casting, and under the setting of the heat sink 61, the temperature of the surface of the side mold 22 can also be transferred to the outside for heat dissipation.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
