Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive metal die casting technology, specifically to a high-precision die casting mold for automotive power steering housings. Background Technology
[0002] The power steering housing is an outer shell component in the power steering system of an automobile, used to house and protect internal components, and to bear the functions of force transmission, distribution, and hydraulic chamber formation. It is usually made of materials such as cast iron and aluminum alloy, and has a certain strength, rigidity, and sealing performance. It is an important component to ensure the normal operation of the power steering system. The power steering housing is mainly produced by die casting using die casting molds.
[0003] The existing utility model with publication number CN216460771U discloses an aluminum cold die-casting machine for forming automobile engine housings. By setting two sets of smoke removal devices, the smoke collection hood of the smoke removal device can collect waste smoke from both sides of the mold when the mold is opened. The above solution achieves convenient use of the smoke removal equipment through the cooperation between various mechanisms. However, since the moving mold of the die-casting machine needs to be hydraulically pushed to reciprocate along the mold closing guide post during use, in the die-casting of automobile power steering housings, mold closing deviations are prone to occur between the moving mold and the fixed mold after long-term use. At this time, it is not convenient to adjust the relative position of the two. Moreover, when the moving mold is disassembled for maintenance, it is often necessary to disassemble the mold closing guide post simultaneously, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to use.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1-10 This application provides the following technical solutions.
[0033] Example 1: A high-precision die-casting mold for automotive power steering housing, comprising a moving mold mounting base 1, an assembly area on one side of the moving mold mounting base 1, and a die-casting moving mold 4 disposed within the assembly area via an assembly adjustment assembly. The assembly adjustment assembly includes an assembly base 3 and two adjustment frames, each of which includes two equally sized fitting plates 6. The assembly base 3 is horizontally positioned at the center of the assembly area. A combination slot 5 is provided on one side of the die-casting moving mold 4, into which the assembly base 3 is inserted. A linkage rod 7 is fixedly connected between the two equally sized fitting plates 6 of the adjustment frame. The two equally sized fitting plates 6 of the adjustment frame are located on opposite sides of the assembly base 3. The linkage rod 7 is movably inserted through the assembly base 3, and the linkage rods 7 of the two adjustment frames are staggered. One side of each of the four equally sized fitting plates 6 contacts the inner wall of the combination slot 5. The length of the equally sized fitting plate 6 is less than the length of the inner wall of the combination slot 5, and the length of the linkage rod 7 is greater than the width of the assembly base 3. One side of each of the equally sized fitting plates 6 of the two adjustment frames is provided with an adjustment rod. The entire support rod 8 and the other equally sized fitting plate 6 of the adjustment frame are each provided with a guide block 30. The guide block 30 is movably inserted into the side wall of the assembly base 3. An adjustment cylinder groove 9 is opened on the side of the assembly base 3 near the adjustment support rod 8. The adjustment support rod 8 is inserted into the adjustment cylinder groove 9 through a sealing ring and is provided with an adjustment piston 10. The moving mold mounting base 1 is slidably connected to the four mold closing guide pillars of the die casting machine through the mold closing guide sleeve 2. The die casting moving mold 4 is installed on the moving mold mounting base 1 through the assembly base 3, which can be quickly disassembled and adjusted. On one side, when the die-casting moving mold 4 is assembled with the moving mold mounting base 1, the die-casting moving mold 4 is hoisted to the assembly base 3 position by the hoisting equipment, and then pushed horizontally into the assembly area of the moving mold mounting base 1. The assembly base 3 and four equal-sized fitting plates 6 are inserted into the combination slot 5 of the die-casting moving mold 4. The four equal-sized fitting plates 6 are respectively fitted with the four side walls inside the combination slot 5. At this time, the assembly base 3 and the equal-sized fitting plates 6 provide basic support for the die-casting moving mold 4. A die-casting mold mounting cavity for the automotive power steering housing is opened on one side of the assembly base 3.
[0034] Valve slots are provided on both sides of the assembly base 3. One valve slot is connected to two adjusting cylinder slots 9 and has a first pair of interfaces 13. The other valve slot is connected to two adjusting cylinder slots 9 and has a second pair of interfaces 14. The second pair of interfaces 14 and the first pair of interfaces 13 are located on opposite sides of the adjusting cylinder slots 9, and the adjusting piston 10 is located between the first pair of interfaces 13 and the second pair of interfaces 14. A first switching valve 11 and a second switching valve 12 are provided in the two valve slots, respectively. Both the first switching valve 11 and the second switching valve 12 have L-shaped transition grooves. The first switching valve 11... The L-shaped transition groove of the second switching valve 12 is respectively set to correspond to the first pair of interfaces 13 and the second pair of interfaces 14. The hydraulic oil or high-pressure gas sent by the first switching valve 11 and the second switching valve 12 can push the two adjusting support rods 8 separately, so that the two adjusting frames with two equally sized fitting plates 6 can slide relative to each other. At this time, the movement of the adjusting frame can drive the die-casting moving mold 4 to be adjusted up, down and left and right in the assembly area of the moving mold mounting seat 1, so as to realize the relative position relationship between the die-casting moving mold 4 and the die-casting machine fixed mold, and realize the high-precision die-casting processing in the later stage.
[0035] A constraint-holding assembly is installed to maintain the connection between the die-casting moving mold 4 and the assembly base 3. The constraint-holding assembly is located on three sides of the moving mold mounting base 1 and includes three auxiliary screws 16. One end of each of the three auxiliary screws 16 abuts against a uniformly sized fitting plate 6. The die-casting moving mold 4 has auxiliary screw grooves 15 on three sides connected to the combination slot 5. One end of each of the three auxiliary screws 16 is threaded into the auxiliary screw groove 15. The ends of the three auxiliary screws 16 inserted into the auxiliary screw grooves 15 pass through the auxiliary screw grooves 15 and abut against one side of each of the three uniformly sized fitting plates 6. Each side of the moving mold mounting base 1 located on the auxiliary screws 16 has a strip-shaped groove 1. 7. The auxiliary screws 16 are all set through the strip grooves 17 by shims. When the die-casting moving mold 4 is adjusted up, down, left and right, one end of the auxiliary screw 16 is not in contact with the equal-sized fitting plate 6. When the die-casting moving mold 4 is adjusted, the three auxiliary screws 16 can adapt to the movement in the strip grooves 17. During this period, the die-casting moving mold 4 cannot be separated from the assembly seat 3 under the constraint of the three auxiliary screws 16 and the strip grooves 17. Then, after the auxiliary screws 16 are behind the equal-sized fitting plate 6, the connection between the auxiliary die-casting moving mold 4 and the assembly seat 3 is stable. The shim is set between the auxiliary screws 16 and the moving mold mounting seat 1 so that the positional relationship between the auxiliary screws 16 and the moving mold mounting seat 1 is also stable.
[0036] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a guiding component is provided to prevent the die-casting moving mold 4 from becoming unstable during mold closing and sliding. The moving mold mounting base 1 is symmetrically provided with mold closing guide sleeves 2 on its four sides. The guiding component includes an oil storage tank 20 and four oil delivery pipes 27. The two ends of the four oil delivery pipes 27 are respectively connected to the oil storage tank 20 and the four mold closing guide sleeves 2. The two valve slots in the assembly base 3 are respectively provided through the moving mold mounting base 1 and have access slots. The two access slots are respectively connected to the L-shaped transition slots of the first switching valve 11 and the second switching valve 12. The moving mold mounting base 1 is provided with a first adjustment interface 18 and a second adjustment interface 19 on one side of the two access slots. The first adjustment interface 18 and the second adjustment interface 19 respectively send the power source supporting the die-casting moving mold 4 or adjusting the die-casting moving mold 4 to the first switching valve 11 and the second switching valve 12.
[0037] An oil storage tank 20 is located above the moving mold mounting base 1 near the first adjustment interface 18. A first pair of connecting pipes 21 are vertically installed inside the oil storage tank 20, with the lower ends of the first pair of connecting pipes 21 extending out of the oil storage tank 20. A second pair of connecting pipes 22 is vertically connected to the upper end of the first adjustment interface 18. The upper end of the second pair of connecting pipes 22 is sealed and inserted into the first pair of connecting pipes 21. A synchronous piston rod 23 is vertically and movably inserted into the second pair of connecting pipes 22 via a guide partition. A first piston 24 and a second piston 25 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the second piston 25. A return spring 26 is sleeved between the rod 23 and the guide partition and the second piston 25. Each of the four mold closing guide sleeves 2 has a sliding ball. Each of the four oil supply pipes 27 connected to the oil storage tank 20 has a one-way valve 28 at one end. The oil supply pipe 27 is connected to the oil storage tank 20 at the lower side of the tank. The upper end of the first connecting pipe 21 is above the oil level in the oil storage tank 20. A mold closing control connecting frame 29 is provided on the side of the moving mold mounting base 1 away from the die-casting moving mold 4. After the die-casting moving mold 4 is adjusted, a mold closing control connecting frame 29 is provided to maintain the stable position of the die-casting moving mold 4. At this time, the first switching valve 11 and the second switching valve 12 need to control the L-shaped transition groove to be misaligned with the first pair of interfaces 13 and the second pair of interfaces 14. When hydraulic oil continues to be supplied into the first adjustment interface 18, the hydraulic oil will not affect the stability of the die-casting moving mold 4. However, the hydraulic oil will enter the second pair of connecting pipes 22 and push the second piston 25 and the first piston 24 to rise. At this time, the air above the first pair of connecting pipes 21 compresses the space inside the oil storage tank 20. The lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 20 is pushed by the four one-way valves 28, and the lubricating oil is lifted or dripped into the four mold closing guide sleeves 2 respectively. By repeatedly starting and stopping to control the supply of hydraulic oil to the first adjustment interface 18, active control lubrication of the sliding ball can be achieved. The one-way valve 28 is a common liquid spring self-sealing one-way valve.
[0038] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
