Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of extrusion casting, in particular to an extrusion casting device for forming aluminum-based composite materials. Background Art

[0002] Squeeze casting, also known as liquid die forging, continuous casting and forging, is an emerging metal forming process that has both casting characteristics and is similar to die forging. It is to pour a certain amount of molten metal directly into a cavity coated with lubricant, and continuously apply mechanical static pressure, using the easy flow of metal casting solidification and forging technology to make the solidified hard shell plastically deformed, so that the metal crystallizes and solidifies under pressure and forcibly eliminates shrinkage cavities and shrinkage formed by solidification shrinkage, so as to obtain liquid die forging parts without casting defects.

[0003] At present, the extrusion casting of aluminum-based materials is usually performed by pouring molten aluminum into a casting mold through a pouring container, and then mechanically squeezing the aluminum in the mold through an external mechanical extrusion device to complete the casting operation. First, when the aluminum-based material is melted, it is difficult to speed up the discharge of impurities in the aluminum water. Secondly, if the mold preheating temperature is not enough, the fluidity of the liquid aluminum-based composite material will drop rapidly after being injected into the mold cavity, which may lead to incomplete filling. Finally, the existing cooling is water cooling or room temperature gas cooling of the mold and casting. On the one hand, the long-term and drastic changes in the mold temperature will lead to excessive thermal stress inside the casting. On the other hand, thermal stress is generated inside the mold, and long-term accumulation will lead to thermal fatigue.

At the same time, the furnace mechanism also has the functions of automatic feeding and impurity discharge. During the casting process, it will switch between a quasi-vacuum environment and a normal air pressure environment, so that the temperature of the molten aluminum is more uniform, effectively improving the stability of the casting quality.

[0019] 3.

After the movable mold is completely separated from the fixed mold, the closing plate is moved out, the baffle is opened, and the air storage bag is exhausted to push the push rod to push out the casting. The whole process is smooth and orderly, and the surface quality of the casting is effectively protected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The baffle 55 is connected to the push rod 62 through a connecting rod 8. The aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 is placed on the top of the baffle 55.

[0044] A mold mechanism 7 is provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 4, and the mold mechanism 7 includes a movable mold 71 and a fixed mold 72 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4;

[0045] A pneumatic mechanism 3 is installed on the outer side of the base 1, and the pneumatic mechanism 3 includes an air pump 31 fixedly connected to the base 1, a connecting valve 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed mold 72, a closing port 33 is provided inside the connecting valve 32, and a sealing strip is installed at the opening of the closing port 33, a closing plate 34 for cooperating with the closing port 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable mold 71, an air inlet groove 36 is provided inside the fixed mold 72, a spring 38 is fixedly connected inside the air inlet groove 36, a push rod 39 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spring 38, and a sealing block 37 is fixedly connected inside the air inlet groove 36, the air inlet of the air pump 31 is connected to the furnace body 51 through a pipeline and a filter valve 10, and the air outlet of the air pump 31 is connected to the connecting valve 32 through a pipeline.

[0046] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1, Figure 3 and Fig.10 As shown, an electromagnetic pump 63 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, the feed hole of the electromagnetic pump 63 is connected to the furnace body 51 through a pipeline, the discharge hole of the electromagnetic pump 63 is connected to the gate 64 through a pipeline, the push rod 62 is slidably connected inside the gate 64 and the feed pipe 65, and a control valve 66 is fixedly installed inside the feed pipe 65.

[0047] During operation, when the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72 are closed, the electromagnetic pump 63 starts to introduce a certain amount of molten aluminum water in the furnace body 51 into the feed pipe 65 through the gate 64, and then the electromagnetic pump 63 is turned off. After the hydraulic component 61 is started, the aluminum water in the feed pipe 65 will be pushed into the mold cavity through the control valve 66.

[0048] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a discharge groove 53 is provided on the outer side of the furnace body 51, and the discharge groove 53 is connected to the limiting groove 52. A de-impurity plate and a blocking block for blocking the discharge groove 53 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the baffle 55 respectively. A discharge hopper 54 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the furnace body 51, and the discharge hopper 54 is located below the discharge groove 53.

[0049] During operation, the aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 is first placed in the furnace body 51 for melting treatment to produce a certain amount of molten aluminum. The push rod 62 moves to drive the baffle 55 to insert into the limit groove 52, dividing the furnace body 51 into two upper and lower spaces. The lower space is a closed space for molten aluminum. The vacuum pump 31 sucks out the gas below to form a vacuum-like environment, reducing the gas and impurities in the molten aluminum, and then reducing the bubbles and impurities in the casting. Then the hydraulic press 2 pushes the connecting plate 4 to drive the moving mold 71 to move to complete the extrusion casting to form a casting. After the casting is completed, the hydraulic component 61 resets the push rod 62 and drives the baffle 55 to open, realizing automatic feeding and discharging impurities at the same time. The opening and closing of the baffle 55 changes the air pressure in the space below the furnace body 51, causing gas flow, promoting heat transfer, improving the temperature distribution of molten aluminum, and improving the stability of product quality.

[0050] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, a vacuum pump 310 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 4, an exhaust groove 311 is provided inside the fixed mold 72, the air inlet of the vacuum pump 310 is connected to the exhaust groove 311 through a pipeline, and the air outlet of the vacuum pump 310 is connected to the external gas processing equipment through the pipeline, and a ceramic plate 312 is fixedly connected to the inside of the exhaust groove 311, and a through hole is provided on the ceramic plate 312, which can allow gas molecules to enter and exit but can isolate aluminum molecules from entering and exiting, and an air storage bag 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting valve 32, and the air storage bag 35 is connected to the air inlet groove 36 through the connecting valve 32, and the air outlet of the exhaust pump 31 is connected to the air storage bag 35 through a pipeline, and the outer shape of the push rod 39 adopts a thick section and a thin section setting, the thick section of the push rod 39 is arranged to fit the inside of the air inlet groove 36, and the thin section of the push rod 39 is not arranged to fit the inner wall of the sealing block 37.

[0051] When working, the vacuum pump 31 and the hydraulic press 2 are started: the baffle 55 is opened, the vacuum pump 31 discharges the hot air in the furnace body 51 into the air storage bag 35, and pushes the push rod 39 outward through the air inlet groove 36, and the hot air is discharged to the inside of the fixed mold 72 for preheating and blowing out impurities. At the same time, the hydraulic press 2 pushes the connecting plate 4 to close the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72, and the closing plate 34 blocks the connecting valve 32, and the hot gas is stored in the air storage bag 35;

[0052] Operation after mold closing: start the vacuum pump 310, electromagnetic pump 63 and hydraulic assembly 61 in sequence. The vacuum pump 310 extracts the air in the mold cavity to form a vacuum environment. The electromagnetic pump 63 introduces molten aluminum. The hydraulic assembly 61 pushes the molten aluminum into the mold cavity. The vacuum environment allows the molten aluminum to quickly fill the mold cavity and suck out the bubbles. The ceramic plate 312 ensures that the gas is discharged but the molten aluminum is not discharged.

[0053] After the extrusion casting is completed: the hydraulic press 2 drives the movable mold 71 to move outward. When demolding, the mold cavity maintains a vacuum to reduce the friction between the casting and the mold to avoid scratches. After the movable mold 71 is completely separated from the fixed mold 72, the closing plate 34 is pulled out, the baffle 55 is opened, the vacuum pump 31 extracts the hot air from the furnace, the air storage bag 35 resets and exhausts the push rod 39 to push the casting out. The hot air cools the fixed mold 72 and the casting, slowing down the temperature change of the casting, thermal stress and temperature difference of the fixed mold 72, and avoiding thermal fatigue of the fixed mold 72.

[0054] Working principle: When working, firstly, the aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 is placed inside the furnace body 51, and the aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 is melted to melt a certain amount of aluminum liquid inside the furnace body 51;

[0055] When squeeze casting is required, the vacuum pump 31 is started first and then the hydraulic press 2 is started. Since the baffle 55 is in the open state at this time, Figure 1As shown, after the vacuum pump 31 is started, the hotter gas inside the furnace body 51 will be sucked in and discharged into the interior of the air storage bag 35 through the pipeline. Since the air storage bag 35 is connected to the air inlet groove 36 through the connecting valve 32, and a sealing strip is installed at the opening of the closing port 33, the hotter gas will push the push rod 39 to move outward through the air inlet groove 36 until the thicker section on the push rod 39 moves out from the interior of the air inlet groove 36. At this time, the gas will be discharged to the inner side of the fixed mold 72 through the air inlet groove 36, which can preheat the fixed mold 72 on the one hand and blow out impurities inside the fixed mold 72 on the other hand. At the same time, the middle connecting plate 4 is pushed to move through the output end of the hydraulic press 2, so that the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72 are molded together. At this time, the closing plate 34 on the movable mold 71 will pass through the sealing strip and be inserted into the interior of the closing port 33, thereby blocking the connecting valve 32, and the hotter gas will no longer enter the interior of the air inlet groove 36, and the hotter gas will be stored in the air storage bag 35.

[0056] When the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72 are molded together, the vacuum pump 310, the electromagnetic pump 63 and the hydraulic assembly 61 are started in sequence. After the vacuum pump 310 is started, the air inside the mold cavity formed by the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72 are extracted through the exhaust groove 311, so that a vacuum environment is formed inside the mold cavity. After the electromagnetic pump 63 is started, a certain amount of molten aluminum water in the furnace body 51 is introduced into the feed pipe 65 through the gate 64. Then the electromagnetic pump 63 is turned off. After the hydraulic assembly 61 is started, the aluminum water in the feed pipe 65 is pumped out through the exhaust groove 311. The control valve 66 is pushed into the mold cavity. Since the mold cavity is in a vacuum environment, the molten aluminum that enters the mold cavity will quickly fill all positions of the mold cavity. At the same time, the vacuum environment in the mold cavity will quickly suck out the bubbles in the molten aluminum and discharge them through the vacuum groove 311. Since the vacuum groove 311 is provided with a ceramic plate 312 (a through hole is provided on the ceramic plate 312, which allows gas molecules to enter and exit but isolates aluminum molecules from entering and exiting), the gas will be discharged through the vacuum groove 311 while the molten aluminum will not be discharged through the vacuum groove 311.

[0057] When the push rod 62 moves, the baffle 55 will be driven to move through the connecting rod 8, and when the push rod 62 moves to the specified position, the baffle 55 will be fully inserted into the limit groove 52, thereby dividing the furnace body 51 into two spaces, the lower space is molten aluminum water, and the upper space can be placed in the aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 to be melted, and the lower space is a completely closed space. At this time, the vacuum pump 31 will suck out the gas in the space below the furnace body 51, so that the space below the furnace body 51 forms a quasi-vacuum environment. The quasi-vacuum environment helps the hydrogen and low-boiling impurities in the aluminum water to volatilize, thereby effectively reducing the gas and impurities in the aluminum water, and then reducing the bubbles and impurities in the aluminum-based composite material after extrusion casting;

[0058] Then the hydraulic press 2 will continue to push the connecting plate 4 to drive the movable die 71 to move to the specified position, thereby completing the extrusion casting of the aluminum-based composite material and finally forming a casting;

[0059] After the extrusion casting is completed, the movable mold 71 is first driven to move outward by the hydraulic press 2. When the movable mold 71 moves outward to be completely separated from the fixed mold 72, the vacuum pump 310 is turned off, and the hydraulic component 61 drives the push rod 62 to reset. After the push rod 62 is reset, the baffle 55 is driven to open through the connecting rod 8. The mold cavity formed by the movable mold 71 and the fixed mold 72 is always in a vacuum environment. Since the casting will form a vacuum environment with the inner wall of the mold during extrusion casting, when the mold cavity is in a vacuum environment, there is almost no air pressure difference between the casting and the mold, thereby reducing the friction between the casting and the mold, thereby avoiding scratches on the surface of the casting during demolding. When the movable mold 71 is completely separated from the fixed mold 72, the closing plate 34 will also be pulled out from the inside of the closing port 33, and after the baffle 55 is opened, the vacuum pump 31 can extract more hot air from the furnace body 51. At this time, the air storage bag 35 is connected to the air inlet groove 36 through the connecting valve 32. The air storage bag 35 quickly resets to quickly discharge the air stored inside through the air inlet groove 36. The gas will push the push rod 39 to move. After the push rod 39 moves, the casting inside the fixed mold 72 is pushed out. At the same time, the hot air will cool the fixed mold 72 and the casting. The hot air that cools the casting can slow down the temperature change of the casting, thereby reducing the thermal stress inside the casting, and at the same time slow down the temperature difference of the fixed mold 72 to avoid thermal fatigue of the fixed mold 72 (because the temperature of the gas in the furnace body 51 is transferred from the aluminum liquid, and the baffle 55 is in the process of opening and closing, the temperature of the hot air inside the furnace body 51 is lower than the temperature of the aluminum liquid. At the same time, the hot air is extracted and transferred by the vacuum pump 31, so the temperature of the hot air blown into the fixed mold 72 will be further cooled, so the hot air can be used for cooling);

[0060] When the baffle 55 is opened, the aluminum-based composite material raw material 9 above the baffle 55 will fall into the space below the furnace body 51, thereby realizing automatic feeding, and the blocking block at the bottom will be separated from the discharge groove 53, and the impurity removal plate will scrape off the impurities precipitated above the aluminum liquid in the furnace body 51, and discharge them through the discharge groove 53 and the discharge hopper 54. At the same time, since the baffle 55 is in an open state and a closed state at the same time, the space below the furnace body 51 is in a quasi-vacuum state and a normal air pressure state at the same time. This state will cause the flow of gas in the furnace body 51, which can promote heat transfer. When the furnace is evacuated, the flow direction of the gas in the furnace will change, the hot gas will be extracted, and the surrounding colder gas will be supplemented, so that the temperature of the aluminum liquid will be more uniform. When the air is taken in, the incoming gas will also generate convection in the furnace, further improving the temperature distribution in the aluminum liquid, which is beneficial to improving the stability of product quality.

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
