DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the application are used to explain the application, but not as a limitation of the application.

[0016] An integral forming process of an electric motor assembly based on precision integral casting, comprising the following steps: Mold design and manufacturing: according to the structure and performance requirements of the electric motor assembly, three-dimensional modeling is carried out by using computer aided design (SOLIDWORKS, UG, CAD) software, and a precision integral casting mold is designed. The mold adopts a split structure, including an upper mold, a lower mold and a plurality of side molds, and the molds are precisely positioned by high-precision positioning pins and positioning grooves to ensure that the precision error of the assembled mold is not more than ±0.05mm. The mold material is selected from mold steel with high heat resistance, high wear resistance and good heat conductivity, such as H13 steel, and the surface of the mold is subjected to nitriding treatment to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the mold. The thickness of the nitriding layer is controlled to be 0.3-0.5mm. Raw material preparation: aluminum alloy material with high strength, high thermal conductivity and good electromagnetic properties is selected as the casting raw material of the electric motor assembly, such as 6061 aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy raw material is strictly quality tested to ensure that its chemical composition meets the national standard requirements, and the impurity content is controlled at a very low level, of which the iron content is not more than 0.7%, and the silicon content is between 0.4-0.8%. The aluminum alloy raw material is cut into blocks of appropriate size for subsequent melting. Melting and refining: the prepared aluminum alloy raw material is placed in a vacuum induction melting furnace for melting, and the melting temperature is controlled at 720-750℃. Argon is used for protection during the melting process to prevent oxidation of the aluminum alloy. After the aluminum alloy is completely melted, a refining agent is added for refining treatment, and the addition amount of the refining agent is 0.3-0.5% of the mass of the aluminum alloy raw material, and the refining time is 10-15 minutes to remove gas and impurities in the aluminum alloy liquid and improve the purity of the aluminum alloy liquid. After refining, stand for 5-10 minutes to allow impurities to fully precipitate. Mold preheating and spraying: Put the designed and manufactured mold into the preheating furnace for preheating, control the preheating temperature at 200-250℃, and the preheating time for 1-2 hours to ensure the uniformity of the mold temperature. After preheating, spray a layer of special casting paint on the surface of the mold cavity, the paint is water-based paint, and its main components include refractory materials, binders and suspending agents, and the paint thickness is controlled at 0.1-0.3mm. The purpose of spraying paint is to improve the demolding performance of the mold, prevent the aluminum alloy liquid from sticking to the mold surface, and at the same time, protect the mold. Low pressure casting: Pour the refined and static aluminum alloy liquid into the crucible of the low pressure casting machine, slowly inject the aluminum alloy liquid into the mold cavity preheated and sprayed with paint by the low pressure casting machine at a pressure of 0.01-0.03MPa, control the filling speed at 10-20cm / s to ensure that the aluminum alloy liquid fills the mold cavity smoothly and quickly, and avoid casting defects such as pores and slag inclusion. After the aluminum alloy liquid is filled, maintain the pressure at 0.01-0.03MPa for 3-5 minutes to allow the aluminum alloy liquid to fully compensate under the action of pressure and improve the density of the casting. Cooling and demolding: After the pressure holding is completed, cool the mold by combining air cooling and water cooling, first air cooling, control the cooling speed at 10-20℃ / min, when the casting temperature is reduced to 500-550℃, then water cooling, control the cooling speed at 20-30℃ / min, until the casting temperature is reduced to 100-150℃. After cooling, the casting is demolded from the mold through the demolding mechanism of the mold, and attention should be paid to avoid damaging the casting during demolding. Post-processing: The demolded electric motor assembly casting is subjected to post-processing, including deburring, heat treatment and surface treatment. First, use mechanical polishing and chemical corrosion to remove burrs and flash on the surface of the casting; then, the casting is subjected to solid solution aging heat treatment, the solid solution treatment temperature is controlled at 520-540℃, the holding time is 2-3 hours, then water quenching is carried out, the quenching water temperature is controlled at 20-30℃, after quenching, artificial aging treatment is carried out, the aging temperature is controlled at 170-190℃, and the aging time is 6-8 hours to improve the strength and hardness of the casting; finally, the casting is subjected to surface anodizing treatment, the thickness of the oxide film is controlled at 8-12μm to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the casting. Inspection and assembly: The post-processed electric motor assembly is comprehensively inspected, including size inspection, appearance inspection, mechanical property inspection, and electrical property inspection. The size inspection uses a three-coordinate measuring instrument to ensure that the size precision of the casting meets the design requirements, with a size error of not more than ±0.1 mm. The appearance inspection uses a combination of visual inspection and flaw detection to ensure that the casting surface is free of cracks, pores, sand holes, and other defects. The mechanical property inspection includes tensile testing, hardness testing, and impact testing to ensure that the mechanical properties of the casting meet the use requirements of the electric motor. The electrical property inspection includes insulation resistance testing, dielectric strength testing, and electrical conductivity testing to ensure that the electrical properties of the electric motor assembly are safe and reliable. After passing the inspection, the electric motor assembly is assembled with other matching parts to complete the manufacturing of the electric motor. In the above process, in order to further improve the performance and quality of the electric motor assembly, the following innovative technologies can also be used: In the mold design, a conformal cooling water channel design is introduced. According to the structural characteristics of the electric motor assembly, a conformal cooling water channel that matches the shape of the casting is designed inside the mold. By optimizing the layout and parameters of the cooling water channel, precise control of the cooling process of the casting is achieved, making the cooling of each part of the casting uniform, reducing casting stress, and improving the size accuracy and internal quality of the casting. The diameter of the cooling water channel is controlled at 3-5 mm, and the water flow speed is controlled at 0.5-1 m / s. During the aluminum alloy melting process, ultrasonic assisted melting technology is used to introduce a frequency of 20-40 kHz and a power of 1-3 kW of ultrasonic waves into the aluminum alloy liquid. The action of ultrasonic waves can promote the escape of gas and the agglomeration of impurities in the aluminum alloy liquid, further improving the purity of the aluminum alloy liquid, while refining the aluminum alloy grains and improving the mechanical properties of the casting. During the low-pressure casting process, the pressure and temperature changes inside the mold cavity are monitored in real time. The monitoring data is transmitted to the control system through pressure sensors and temperature sensors. The control system adjusts the casting process in real time according to the preset process parameters to ensure the stability of the casting process and the consistency of the casting quality.
