Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of die-casting dies, and in particular to a worm gear die-casting die and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloy worm gears are usually produced by machining or sand casting. The disadvantages of using machining to produce worm gear parts are long production cycles, high costs, and high technical requirements for workers; if sand casting is used to produce worm gear parts, the disadvantages are long mold opening cycles and difficulty in ensuring manufacturing accuracy.

[0003] In industrial production, such as agricultural machinery and mining machinery, where the requirements for worm gear manufacturing precision are not too high, we can use die-casting technology to produce worm gear parts. If the requirements for manufacturing precision and mechanical properties are very high, die-casting technology can also be used. As long as the worm gear blank is machined, the requirements can be met.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a worm gear die-casting mold to produce worm gear parts. Summary of the Invention

Since the liquid or semi-solid metal is formed under static pressure, the worm gear component has very few pores, the macroscopic and microscopic segregation is significantly reduced, the grain refinement is enhanced, and the internal stress of the worm gear component is eliminated to a certain extent. At the same time, the microstructure of the worm gear component is stable and the dimensional accuracy and consistency of the parts are significantly higher than those of sand casting.

The plurality of support rods can provide support for the tray and the lower mold base.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes: a cylinder support disposed within a circular support seat, drive hydraulic cylinders symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cylinder support, a sliding seat fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive hydraulic cylinder, and a sliding sleeve fixed to the upper surface of the sliding seat; the sliding sleeve is provided with a plurality of tie rods; one end of each tie rod is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve; the other end of each tie rod is riveted to the connection hole of the core mold assembly; the bottom of the tray is fixedly connected to the cylinder support via a guide sleeve; the sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the guide sleeve; during the mold closing phase, the drive hydraulic cylinder drives the sliding sleeve downward, causing the tie rods to contract in an umbrella shape, driving the corresponding core mold assembly to synchronously contract radially toward the central axis along the guide rod, so that the working surfaces of each core mold assembly jointly form a complete worm gear cavity; during the mold opening phase, the drive hydraulic cylinder drives the sliding sleeve upward, causing the tie rods to expand in an umbrella shape, driving the corresponding core mold assembly to synchronously expand radially outward along the guide rod, thereby releasing the covering of the formed worm gear.
