Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of processing of photovoltaic aluminum frames, and particularly relates to an extrusion die for photovoltaic aluminum frames. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, as a key structural component of the module, the production efficiency and product quality of photovoltaic aluminum frames directly affect the industry competitiveness. As the core forming equipment, the design of the distribution holes of the aluminum extrusion die directly determines the uniformity of material flow and product performance. In the current mainstream technology, the distribution die optimizes the metal flow through a porous structure, but in actual applications, it is still limited by the small number of holes, which easily leads to uneven metal flow velocity. Especially in the production of profiles with complex cross-sections, problems such as wall thickness deviation, surface scratches, and unstable weld quality are likely to occur. In addition, the matching degree between the layout of the distribution holes and the cavity is insufficient, often resulting in a high residual amount of waste aluminum in the die cavity and limited material utilization rate. Although the adjustable distribution die improves the adaptability through hole parameter adjustment, its structure is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and it is difficult to accurately balance the flow uniformity and die strength. Although special distribution dies such as the shielding type and the substitution type are optimized for the cantilever structure, they have limitations such as a narrow application range and high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, based on the problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes an extrusion die for photovoltaic aluminum frames, which improves the single-pass throughput and has a better metal flow path. The specific solutions are as follows:
[0004] An extrusion die for photovoltaic aluminum frames includes a circular upper die and a lower die. The upper die is provided with distribution holes. There are two groups of the distribution holes. One group of the two groups of distribution holes is on the outer circle and the other group is on the inner circle: The outer circle distribution holes include outer triangular distribution holes and square distribution holes. For each outer triangular distribution hole, the two adjacent sides are a square distribution hole and an outer triangular distribution hole. The two types of distribution holes on the outer circle are centrosymmetric about the center of the upper die and axisymmetric about two perpendicular diameters; The inner circle distribution holes include two water-drop-shaped distribution holes and an inner triangular distribution hole. The straight line connecting the two water-drop-shaped distribution holes passes through the center of the upper die. The inner triangular distribution hole is arranged between the two water-drop-shaped distribution holes. The two types of distribution holes on the inner circle are centrosymmetric about the center of the upper die and axisymmetric about two perpendicular diameters; The cross-sectional area of the distribution holes on the outer circle is larger than that of the distribution holes on the inner circle; A distribution bridge is formed between the distribution holes of the upper die. The width of the distribution bridge is not less than one-tenth of the radius of the upper die. The center of the upper die is a die core. The die core protrudes from the discharging end of the upper die. The die core is connected to the distribution bridge; Corresponding positions of the upper die and the lower die are provided with screw holes and are fixedly connected by screws.
[0005] Further, a welding chamber corresponding to the distribution holes of the upper die is opened at the top of the lower die. The welding chamber is concave from the top of the lower die and is communicated with the distribution holes.
[0006] Further, a die cavity is communicated below the bonding chamber.
[0007] Further, among the flow dividing holes of the outer ring, two adjacent outer triangular flow dividing holes are adjacent at two corners, and an adjacent outer triangular flow dividing hole and a square flow dividing hole are adjacent at two sides.
[0008] Further, among the flow dividing holes of the inner ring, two adjacent inner triangular flow dividing holes are adjacent at two sides, and the tips of two water-drop-shaped flow dividing holes face each other.
[0009] Further, there are at least 4 square flow dividing holes and at least 4 outer triangular flow dividing holes in the flow dividing holes of the outer ring.
[0010] Further, there are at least 4 inner triangular flow dividing holes in the flow dividing holes of the inner ring.
[0011] Further, the cross-sectional area of the flow dividing holes of the outer ring is 1.2 - 1.5 times that of the flow dividing holes of the inner ring.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By designing flow dividing holes with different shapes, sizes and relative positions, increasing the number of flow dividing holes, and optimizing the metal flow path, the extrusion die of the present invention has good strength and stability and is not prone to deformation or cracking during the extrusion process. The optimized metal flow path enables the metal to flow evenly and stably, and also increases the single-pass amount. Based on this optimized metal flow path, the extrusion speed can also be significantly increased, improving the production efficiency, reducing the wear and deformation of the die, thereby prolonging the service life of the die and reducing the maintenance frequency. At the same time, the amount of residual aluminum in the optimized die is greatly reduced, improving the utilization rate of aluminum materials, reducing the production cost, and also reducing the environmental pollution.

The upper die 1 is provided with shunt holes. There are two groups of shunt holes. One group of the two groups of shunt holes is on the outer circle and the other group is on the inner circle: the outer circle shunt holes include four outer triangular shunt holes 2 and four square shunt holes 3. For each outer triangular shunt hole 2, the two adjacent sides are a square shunt hole 3 and an outer triangular shunt hole 2. The two types of shunt holes on the outer circle are centrosymmetric about the center of the upper die and axially symmetric about two perpendicular diameters. Among the shunt holes on the outer circle, two adjacent outer triangular shunt holes 2 have two adjacent corners and are located on the upper and lower sides of the upper die. The adjacent outer triangular shunt hole 2 and square shunt hole 3 have two adjacent sides. The four square shunt holes 3 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the upper die; the inner circle shunt holes include two drop-shaped shunt holes 5 and an inner triangular shunt hole 4.

The two types of shunt holes on the inner circle are centrosymmetric about the center of the upper die and axially symmetric about two perpendicular diameters. Among the shunt holes on the inner circle, two adjacent inner triangular shunt holes 4 have two adjacent sides, that is, as shown in the Figure 1 accompanying drawings, the bases of two isosceles triangles are adjacent and symmetric about the horizontal diameter. There are a total of four inner triangular shunt holes 4, and the tips of the two drop-shaped shunt holes 5 face each other; the cross-sectional area of the shunt holes on the outer circle is 1.2 - 1.5 times that of the shunt holes on the inner circle; a shunt bridge 6 is formed between the shunt holes of the upper die. The width of the shunt bridge 6 is not less than one-tenth of the radius of the upper die 1. The center of the upper die is a die core 7. The die core 7 protrudes from the discharging end of the upper die, and the die core 7 is connected to the shunt bridge 6; screw holes are provided at corresponding positions of the upper die and the lower die and are fixedly connected by screws. A welding chamber 9 corresponding to the shunt holes of the upper die 1 is provided at the top of the lower die 8. The welding chamber 9 is concave in the top of the lower die 8 and communicates with the shunt holes. A die cavity 10 is communicated below the welding chamber 9.
[0020] The average single-pass throughput of this die is as high as 2482 KG, showing a significant increase compared to the average single-pass throughput of 1750 KG of the 8-hole strip-shaped splitter die; and the residual aluminum amount of the die in this embodiment is only 0.6 kg, significantly less than 2.2 kg of the 8-hole die; at the same time, when producing profile JA1171 under the same conditions, the extrusion speed of the die in this embodiment can be stabilized at 8.6 m / min, significantly higher than 7.0 m / min of the 8-hole die. The production efficiency is improved, and the profiles produced by the splitter die in this embodiment have higher quality and smoother surfaces.
