AI Technical Summary
When pressure casting large castings, residual gas inside the mold cavity can cause gas blockage, preventing the molten aluminum from filling to the end of the cavity. In addition, the rapid heat dissipation in thin-walled areas leads to large differences in solidification rates, which can easily result in casting defects such as incomplete forming, internal voids, and stress concentration.
Design a die-casting mold structure, including a fixed mold assembly, a moving mold assembly, an venting assembly, and a heat preservation assembly. The venting assembly evacuates and removes gas from the mold cavity, the cold material channel collects the end cold material, and the heat preservation oil channel keeps the mold temperature uniform, ensuring smooth filling of aluminum liquid and extending solidification time.
It effectively eliminates air resistance, reduces the incidence of undercast defects, improves the quality of castings, avoids cold shut defects, ensures complete filling of thin-walled areas, and enhances the internal density and forming accuracy of castings.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure casting, and specifically to a die casting mold structure. Background Technology
[0002] Large castings are widely used in high-end equipment fields such as new energy vehicles, rail transit, and aerospace. These castings are usually produced using pressure casting technology, which involves rapidly pressing high-temperature molten aluminum into the mold cavity under high pressure. After the aluminum solidifies, the mold is opened and the casting is removed.
[0003] However, conventional pressure casting molds face two major technical challenges when producing large castings:
[0004] 1. Large castings often have large and complex cavities, including deep cavities, thin-walled ribs, and irregular corners. After mold closing, air can easily remain inside the cavity. Additionally, the release agent volatilizes during the die-casting process, generating a large amount of gas. If this gas cannot be expelled in time, it will create air resistance within the cavity. The high-pressure-driven molten aluminum will be blocked by the gas, preventing it from continuing to fill the cavity, especially thin-walled areas. Furthermore, the molten aluminum can easily trap air bubbles when pushing the gas, ultimately leading to defects such as localized incomplete forming and internal voids in the casting.
[0005] 2. In large castings, thin-walled areas such as ribs and edges have a large contact area with the mold and a fast heat dissipation rate. However, conventional molds lack targeted temperature control, and the overall temperature of the mold is too low. The molten aluminum loses its fluidity due to rapid cooling before reaching the end of the cavity, resulting in gaps. The solidification rate of the molten aluminum varies greatly in different areas, which can easily lead to stress concentration inside the casting and even cracking.
[0006] To solve the above problems, a die-casting mold structure that can efficiently exhaust gas and control temperature needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

This allows the molten aluminum to smoothly fill the thin-walled areas, significantly reducing the incidence of undercast defects. The cold material channel collects the cold material at the end, preventing it from mixing into the main body of the casting and reducing the incidence of cold shut defects. The heat-insulating oil channel maintains a certain temperature throughout the mold, extending the solidification time of the molten aluminum in the cavity. This allows the thin-walled ribs, edges, and other distant areas to be completely filled, improving the forming quality of the casting. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following is a description of the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-13 The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] A die-casting mold structure includes: a fixed mold assembly 1, a moving mold assembly 2, a venting assembly 3, and a heat insulation assembly. The fixed mold assembly 1 includes a fixed mold base plate 11, a fixed mold insert 12, and a sprue sleeve 13. The fixed mold insert 12 is disposed at the lower end of the fixed mold base plate 11, and the sprue sleeve 13 is disposed on the fixed mold base plate 11 and communicates with the upper cavity 14 of the fixed mold insert 12. The moving mold assembly 2 includes a moving mold base plate 21, a moving mold insert 22, and a side push plate 23. The moving mold insert 22 is disposed at the upper end of the moving mold base plate 21 and at the lower end of the fixed mold insert 12, and the side push plate 23 is slidably disposed on the moving mold insert 21. A lower cavity 24 is provided around the four sides and four sets of side push plates 23 and moving mold insert 22. The upper cavity 14 and the lower cavity 24 constitute the casting cavity 5. The casting cavity 5 includes a cold material channel 51 and a feeding channel 52. The venting assembly 3 is provided on the fixed mold base plate 11 and connected to the upper end of the cold material channel 51. The feeding channel 52 is connected to the sprue sleeve 13. The heat preservation assembly includes a heat preservation oil channel 4. The heat preservation oil channel 4 is provided inside the fixed mold insert 12, the moving mold insert 22 and the side push plates 23. Cooling water channels 6 are also provided inside the fixed mold insert 12, the moving mold insert 22 and the side push plates 23.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the operating principle of this invention is as follows:
[0037] The fixed mold assembly 1 serves as the fixed end of the mold and is installed on the fixed template of the die-casting machine. The fixed mold base plate 11 is used to fix the fixed mold insert 12; the upper cavity 14 at the lower end of the fixed mold insert 12 is in direct contact with the molten aluminum, forming the shape of the upper surface of the casting; the sprue sleeve 13 is the inlet of the molten aluminum, responsible for guiding the high-temperature molten aluminum from the injection chamber of the die-casting machine into the cavity. The moving mold assembly 2 serves as the movable end of the mold and is installed on the moving template of the die-casting machine. The moving mold insert 22 corresponds to the fixed mold insert 12, forming the lower half of the cavity; the side push plate 23 is an auxiliary forming part for the side structure of large castings, achieving side forming and side demolding through sliding. The casting machine drives the moving mold assembly 2 to move upward, so that the fixed mold insert 12 and the moving mold insert 22 fit together, and at the same time, the side push plate 23 moves closer to the moving mold insert 22, forming a complete casting cavity 5 by the upper cavity 14 (fixed mold) and the lower cavity 24 (moving mold + side push plate).
[0038] The venting assembly 3 is connected to the cold slug channel 51 and is activated after mold closing and before injection (or in the initial stage of injection). Through vacuum action, it extracts residual air and mold release agent volatile gases from the casting cavity 5 and the cold slug channel 51, reduces the back pressure of the cavity, eliminates gas obstruction at the front end of the molten aluminum, and avoids turbulence and air entrapment. At the same time, the cold slug channel 51, as an extension of the cavity, can collect the low-temperature cold material at the end of the molten aluminum filling. The molten aluminum will gradually cool down during the flow process, and the cold material at the end has poor fluidity. If it enters the main body of the casting, it will cause defects.
[0039] The heat-insulating oil channels 4 of the heat-insulating components are distributed inside the fixed mold insert 12, the moving mold insert 22, and the side push plate 23. Through an external mold temperature controller, constant temperature oil is introduced into the mold to preheat the mold to the target temperature and keep it uniform, reducing the temperature difference between the aluminum liquid and the mold, slowing down the solidification rate of the aluminum liquid, and allowing the aluminum liquid to fill to the farthest part of the cavity, such as thin-walled ribs. The cooling water channel 6 is activated after the aluminum liquid has completely filled the cavity, and cooling water is introduced to accelerate the solidification of the aluminum liquid, preventing the casting from deforming during demolding, and achieving precise temperature control of heat preservation during filling and cooling after molding.
[0040] The evacuation system evacuates the cavity, reducing the amount of residual gas and effectively eliminating air resistance. This allows the molten aluminum to smoothly fill thin-walled areas, significantly reducing the incidence of undercast defects. The cold material channel collects cold material at the end of the casting, preventing it from mixing into the main body and reducing the incidence of cold shut defects. The insulation oil channel maintains a certain temperature throughout the mold, extending the solidification time of the molten aluminum in the cavity and ensuring that thin-walled ribs, edges, and other distant areas are completely filled. The separate structure of the fixed mold insert and the moving mold insert, combined with the cavity enclosure method of the side push plate, can adapt to the deep cavity and side structure of large castings, avoiding the problems of high processing difficulty and cost of the overall mold.
[0041] In a further preferred embodiment, the fixed mold insert 12 is provided with a core block 121 and a core block 222. The bottom of the core block 121 is provided with a protrusion 1211 matching the shape of the casting, and the bottom of the core block 222 is provided with a protrusion 2221 matching the shape of the casting. The moving mold insert 22 is provided with a core block 321 and a core block 422. The bottom of the core block 321 is provided with a protrusion 3211 matching the shape of the casting, and the bottom of the core block 4222 is provided with a protrusion 4221 matching the shape of the casting. The side push plate 23 includes a left push plate 231, a right push plate 232, a front push plate 233, and a rear push plate 234. The right side of the left push plate 231 is provided with a protrusion 5 matching the shape of the casting. 311, the right push plate 232 has a protrusion six 2321 matching the shape of the casting on the left side, the front push plate 233 has a protrusion seven 2331 matching the shape of the casting on the rear side, and the rear push plate 234 has a protrusion eight 2341 matching the shape of the casting on the front side; the fixed mold base plate 11 has a diversion cone 15 connecting to the sprue sleeve 13 at the lower end, the diversion cone 15 diverts the aluminum liquid entering the sprue sleeve 13 to the casting cavity 5, the feeding channel 52 includes a main feeding channel 521, a feeding diversion port one 522 and a feeding diversion port two 523, the cold material channel 51 includes a rear cold material channel 511 and a front cold material channel 512; the exhaust assembly 3 includes a rear vacuum valve assembly 31 and a front vacuum valve assembly 32.
[0042] The core blocks 121 and 122 in the fixed mold insert 12, and the core blocks 221 and 222 in the moving mold insert 22, have protrusions 1211 to 2221 at their bottom or top. These protrusions are based on the irregular internal structure of the casting, including ribs and bosses. When the mold is closed, these protrusions extend into the casting cavity 5 and together with the cavity wall, they form the complex internal shape of the casting, realizing the combination molding of the cavity body and the core block protrusions, which can adapt to more complex internal structures.
[0043] The side push plate 23 is divided into a left push plate 231, a right push plate 232, a front push plate 233, and a rear push plate 234 (four independent side push plates). The inner side (right, left, rear, or front) of each push plate is provided with protrusions five 2311 to eight 2341. These protrusions correspond to the irregular side structure of the casting, including side bosses and side grooves. When the mold is closed, the four push plates move towards the moving mold insert 22, and the protrusions are embedded in the cavity to form the side details of the casting. When the mold is opened, the four push plates open independently to avoid the side protrusions of the casting from getting stuck with the mold.
[0044] The flow divider cone 15 is located at the lower end of the fixed mold base plate 11 and is directly connected to the sprue sleeve 13. When the high-temperature aluminum liquid is injected from the sprue sleeve 13, the conical structure of the flow divider cone 15 disperses the aluminum liquid to the main feed channel 521 of the feed channel 52, avoiding the aluminum liquid from impacting the fixed mold insert 12 at a single point, which could lead to local overheating or erosion of the cavity. At the same time, it makes the aluminum liquid evenly distributed to the subsequent flow dividers, reducing the difference in flow path.
[0045] The cold material channel 51 is divided into a rear cold material channel 511 (corresponding to the left rear region of the cavity) and a front cold material channel 512 (corresponding to the left front region of the cavity), which are respectively connected to the rear vacuum valve assembly 31 and the front vacuum valve assembly 32. During vacuuming, the two sets of vacuum valves can work simultaneously to selectively remove gas from the left rear and left front regions of the cavity; at the same time, the segmented cold material channels can collect the end cold material from the left rear and left front regions respectively, avoiding cleaning difficulties caused by the mixing of cold material.
[0046] The protrusions 1211 to 4221 of the core block and the protrusions 5311 to 82341 of the side pusher plate can precisely form complex structures such as internal ribs and side bosses of the casting, meeting the requirements of high-end equipment for precision castings. The flow divider cone 15 controls the flow rate difference of the aluminum liquid in the main feed channel 521, avoiding excessively fast flow rate of aluminum liquid in some areas, which would cause air entrapment, or too slow flow rate, which would cause solidification. The zoned cold material channel and the dual vacuum valve assembly work together to further reduce the amount of gas residue in the left rear and left front areas of the cavity, reducing the incidence of undercast defects.
[0047] As a further preferred embodiment, the main feed channel 521 and the first feed branch port 522 are disposed inside the fixed mold insert 12. The input end of the main feed channel 521 is connected to the branch cone 15. The first feed branch port 522 is located at the output end of the main feed channel 521. The first feed branch port 522 is provided in several groups and is evenly distributed on the front side, rear side and right side of the right end of the fixed mold insert 12, the top of the right push plate 232, the top of the front push plate 233 and the top of the rear push plate 234. The second feed branch port 523 is provided in several groups and is evenly distributed on the front side, rear side and right side of the right end of the core block 121. The second feed branch port 523 is connected to the first feed branch port 522.
[0048] The main feed channel 521 is the main channel for molten aluminum. Its input end is connected to the diversion cone 15 to receive the diverted molten aluminum. To prevent the molten aluminum from flowing only along the main channel and failing to cover the complex area around the core block 121, a hierarchical distribution structure of the main channel, diversion port, and diversion port 2 is implemented.
[0049] The feed diversion port 522 is distributed on the front, rear, and right sides of the right end of the fixed mold insert 12, as well as the top of the right push plate 232 and the top of the rear push plate 234. These positions correspond to the outer area of the casting, including the right edge and the front and rear outer walls of the casting. The aluminum liquid directly fills the outer cavity through the feed diversion port 522, avoiding insufficient filling of the outer area due to its distance from the main channel.
[0050] The second feed diversion port 523 is distributed on the front, rear, and right sides of the right end of the core block 121. The area around the core block 121 is a complex internal area of the casting, including the gap between the core block and the cavity wall, and the ribs on the outside of the core block. The second feed diversion port is connected to the first feed diversion port, allowing the molten aluminum to diffuse from the outside to the inside, filling the narrow space around the core block.
[0051] The feed inlet 523 directly supplies material to the area surrounding the core block 121, solving the problem of the core block obstructing the flow of molten aluminum and hindering its reaching the internal gaps. This improves the filling success rate. The layered flow distribution structure shortens the longest flow path of the molten aluminum, thereby shortening the filling time and preventing excessive cooling of the molten aluminum during long flow paths, further reducing cold shut defects. The evenly distributed inlets control the pressure differences of the molten aluminum in different areas of the cavity, reducing the density differences within the casting.
[0052] As a further preferred embodiment, the rear cold material channel 511 includes an upper cold material flow channel 5111, a lower cold material flow channel 5112, an upper cold material branch port 5113, an upper cold material branch port 5114, a lower cold material branch port 5115, and a lower cold material branch port 5116. The tops of the upper cold material flow channel 5111 and the lower cold material flow channel 5112 are interconnected and connected outward to the rear vacuum valve assembly 31. The upper cold material branch port 5113 is located at the output end of the upper cold material flow channel 5111. The upper cold material branch port 5113 is provided in several groups and is evenly distributed on the rear side and left rear side of the left end of the fixed mold insert 12 and the top of the left push plate 231. The second cold material diversion port 5114 is provided with several groups and is evenly distributed on the rear side and left rear side of the second core block 122. The second cold material diversion port 5114 is connected to the first cold material diversion port 5113. The first cold material diversion port 5115 is located at the output end of the first cold material channel 5112. The first cold material diversion port 5115 is provided with several groups and is evenly distributed on the rear side and left rear side of the left end of the moving mold insert 22 and the bottom of the left push plate 231. The second cold material diversion port 5116 is provided with several groups and is evenly distributed on the rear side and left rear side of the third core block 221 and the left rear side of the left end of the moving mold insert 22. The second cold material diversion port 5116 is connected to the first cold material diversion port 5115.
[0053] The front cold material channel 512 includes an upper cold material flow channel 2 5121, a lower cold material flow channel 2 5122, an upper cold material branch port 3 5123, an upper cold material branch port 4 5124, a lower cold material branch port 3 5125, and a lower cold material branch port 4 5126. The tops of the upper cold material flow channel 2 5121 and the lower cold material flow channel 2 5122 are interconnected and connected to the front vacuum valve assembly 32. The upper cold material branch port 3 5123 is located at the output end of the upper cold material flow channel 2 5121. Several sets of the upper cold material branch ports 3 5123 are provided and evenly distributed on the front side and left front side of the left end of the fixed mold insert 12 and the top of the left push plate 231. The upper cold material branch port 4 5124... Several sets of cold material diversion ports are provided and evenly distributed on the front and left front sides of the core block 222. The upper cold material diversion port 4 5124 is connected to the upper cold material diversion port 3 5123. The lower cold material diversion port 3 5125 is located at the output end of the lower cold material flow channel 222. Several sets of lower cold material diversion ports 3 5125 are provided and evenly distributed on the front and left front sides of the left end of the moving mold insert 22 and the bottom of the left push plate 231. Several sets of lower cold material diversion ports 4 5126 are provided and evenly distributed on the front and left front sides of the core block 3 221 and the left front side of the left end of the moving mold insert 22. The lower cold material diversion ports 4 5126 are connected to the lower cold material diversion ports 3 5125.
[0054] Upper cold slug flow channel (1 5111, 2 5121): Located inside the fixed mold insert 12, corresponding to the "upper half" of the casting cavity 5. Its branch ports (upper cold slug branch ports 1 5113, 3 5123) are distributed at the left end of the fixed mold insert 12 and the top of the left push plate 231 to collect the end cold slug of the upper half of the cavity and discharge the gas of the upper half.
[0055] Lower cold slug flow channel (5112, 5122): Located inside the moving mold insert 22, corresponding to the "lower half" of the casting cavity 5. Its flow outlets (lower cold slug flow outlets 5115 and 5125) are distributed at the left end of the moving mold insert 22 and the bottom of the left push plate 231 to collect the end cold slug of the lower half of the cavity and discharge the gas in the lower half.
[0056] The top of the upper cold material flow channel 5111 of the rear cold material channel is connected to the top of the lower cold material flow channel 5112, and the top of the upper cold material flow channel 5121 of the front cold material channel is connected to the top of the lower cold material flow channel 5122. Vacuum valves are then connected to each of them so that the upper and lower flow channels are connected when vacuuming, and the gas in the upper and lower areas of the cavity is discharged at the same time to avoid differences in gas residue in the upper and lower areas.
[0057] Upper cold slug outlet 2 5114 (around core block 222) and lower cold slug outlet 2 5116 (around core block 3 221) are connected to upper cold slug outlet 1 5113 and lower cold slug outlet 1 5115 respectively. Gas around the core block can enter the cold slug channel through these "core block outlets" and then be extracted by the vacuum valve. At the same time, the end cold slug around the core block can also enter the cold slug channel through these outlets to avoid the cold slug adhering to the core block surface and causing difficulty in core block demolding.
[0058] The branch ports (5113, 5114, 5115, 5116) of the rear cold material channel are all located on the "rear side of the left end and the rear side of the left end", and the branch ports (5123, 5124, 5125, 5126) of the front cold material channel are all located on the "front side of the left end and the front side of the left end", so that the rear vacuum valve assembly 31 exhausts only for the rear left region and the front vacuum valve assembly 32 exhausts only for the front left region, thus preventing gas from moving between regions.
[0059] The layered cold slug channels and the matching flow outlets for the core block reduce the amount of residual gas in the upper and lower parts of the cavity and around the core block, thereby reducing the incidence of porosity defects in large castings.
[0060] As a further preferred embodiment, the left push plate 231 is provided with a left drive assembly 2312 on the left side, which drives the left push plate 231 to open the lower cavity 24 outward. The right push plate 232 is provided with a right drive assembly 2322 on the right side, which drives the right push plate 232 to open the lower cavity 24 outward. The front push plate 233 is provided with a front drive assembly 2332 on the front side, which drives the front push plate 233 to open the lower cavity 24 outward. The rear push plate 234 is provided with a rear drive assembly 2342 on the rear side, which drives the rear push plate 234 to open the lower cavity 24 outward.
[0061] When the mold is closed, the drive assembly pushes the push plate toward the moving mold insert 22 until the inner side of the push plate is in contact with the moving mold insert 22, forming the side contour of the lower cavity 24.
[0062] When the mold is opened, after the aluminum liquid has completely solidified, the die casting machine first drives the moving mold assembly 2 to move downward as a whole, separating it from the fixed mold assembly 1. Then, the four sets of drive assemblies synchronously pull the push plate to slide outward, so that the protrusions 5 to 8 on the inner side of the push plate are separated from the side structure of the casting, thus avoiding the push plate from getting stuck with the side protrusions of the casting.
[0063] As a further preferred embodiment, the moving mold assembly 2 also includes an ejector assembly 25, which is disposed inside the moving mold base plate 21. The ejector assembly 25 ejects the casting inside the moving mold insert 22 out of the casting cavity 5.
[0064] The ejector assembly 25 consists of multiple ejector rods distributed below the moving mold insert 22. Under hydraulic drive, the ejector rods are ejected upwards, passing through the pre-drilled holes in the moving mold insert 22 and acting directly on the lower surface of the casting. This lifts the casting upwards, causing it to separate from the upper surface of the moving mold insert 22 and the surfaces of core block 3 221 and core block 4 222, ultimately achieving complete separation of the casting from the moving mold assembly 2.
[0065] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
