[0046] With reference to Figures 1 to 8 The feeding assembly comprises a crucible 22, an air inlet pipe 23 and a liquid injection pipe 24.

The top of the crucible 22 is attached to the bottom of the casting table 12. When the first cavity is formed, the electromagnetic valve 51 on the liquid injection pipe 24 is first started by the controller, so that the liquid injection pipe 24 is opened. The metal liquid used for casting the battery box is poured into the interior of the crucible 22 through the liquid injection pipe 24. The liquid level is controlled to be below the second electric push rod 35. Then the electromagnetic valve 51 on the liquid injection pipe 24 is closed by the controller, so that the liquid injection pipe 24 is closed. The electromagnetic valve 51 on the air inlet pipe 23 is started by the controller, so that the air inlet pipe 23 is opened.

The device is provided with a controller. All electrical equipment on the device is electrically connected with the controller. When the unmanned aerial vehicle battery box low-pressure casting work is performed, the air cylinder 26 is first started by the controller, so that the output end thereof is vertically extended downward. Since the output end is fixedly connected with the upper mold 14 through the push plate 25, the upper mold 14 and the insertion block 27 at the bottom thereof are vertically lowered together until the bottom of the upper mold 14 is attached to the top of the first lower mold 15. Then the insertion block 27 is inserted into the interior of the first groove 28. The gap between the insertion block 27 and the first groove 28 forms the first cavity of the thick-walled battery box.

[0048] With reference to Figures 1 to 8As shown, the top of the first lower mold 15 is provided with a first recess 28 for inserting the insert block 27, the top of the second lower mold 16 is provided with a second recess 29 for inserting the insert block 27, the bottom of the first recess 28 is provided with a first liquid inlet 30, the bottom of the second recess 29 is provided with a second liquid inlet 31, the diameter of the first liquid inlet 30 is larger than that of the second liquid inlet 31, the outer wall of the adjusting plate 17 is respectively provided with a first through hole 32 and a second through hole 33, the inside of the rising pipe 10 is provided with a conveying channel 34, the diameter of the conveying channel 34, the first through hole 32 and the first liquid inlet 30 are consistent, the diameter of the second through hole 33 is consistent with that of the second liquid inlet 31, when the liquid injection pipe 24 remains closed and the compressed gas is introduced into the inside of the crucible 22 containing the metal liquid through the air inlet pipe 23, a low pressure is caused on the surface of the metal liquid, so that the metal liquid enters the first cavity formed between the insert block 27 and the first recess 28 through the conveying channel 34 in the inside of the rising pipe 10, the first through hole 32 on the adjusting plate 17 and the first liquid inlet 30 at the bottom of the first lower mold 15 in turn, in addition, it should be noted that the length, width and height of the first recess 28 are all larger than those of the second recess 29, so that the thickness of the battery box cast by the first cavity is larger, therefore, the diameter of the first liquid inlet 30 is designed to be larger than that of the second liquid inlet 31, so as to avoid the pores in the product inside or near the surface caused by the too fast flow rate of the metal liquid when casting thick-walled products, avoid causing the fatigue strength of the battery box to decrease, and improve the service life.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the bottom of the casting table 12 is fixedly provided with a second electric push rod 35, the output end of the second electric push rod 35 is fixedly provided with a baffle 36, the rising pipe 10 is inserted with the baffle 36, the top end of the rising pipe 10 is attached to the bottom of the adjusting plate 17, when the metal liquid fills the first cavity, the second electric push rod 35 is started through the controller, so that the output end drives the baffle 36 to extend towards the end close to the second lower mold 16, and then the baffle 36 shields the first through hole 32, so as to facilitate the casting and forming of the battery box in the first cavity.

Since the length, width and height of the first groove 28 are all greater than those of the second groove 29, after the insertion block 27 is inserted into the second groove 29, the gap between the two forms the second cavity, so that the thickness of the battery box cast in the second cavity is smaller. When it is necessary to cast a thin-walled battery box, the first electric push rod 18 is started through the controller, so that the first lower mold 15 is driven to slide away from the limiting block through the output end thereof. Since the first lower mold 15 is fixedly connected with the second lower mold 16 through the four connecting rods, the second lower mold 16 is driven to slide towards the insertion block 27. Since the second lower mold 16 is fixedly connected with the rack 39 through the sliding plate 38, the sliding plate 38 is slidingly connected with the casting table 12 through the guide rod, the rack 39 is slidingly connected with the guide rail 42, the first gear 40 and the second gear 41 are fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively, and the rack 39, the first gear 40 and the second gear 41 are sequentially meshed and connected, so that the second rotating shaft is driven to rotate clockwise.

[0053] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the bottom of the upper mold 14 is fixedly provided with four guide columns 48, and the top of the casting table 12 is fixedly provided with two limiting molds 49, the top of each limiting mold 49 is provided with four limiting holes 50, the axis direction of each guide column 48 is consistent with that of one limiting hole 50, the four guide columns 48 are inserted and matched with the four limiting holes 50, so as to play a guiding effect and ensure that the upper mold 14 and the lower mold are closely combined, which is beneficial to improve the casting quality of the battery box, and the two limiting molds 49 can limit the two ends of the first lower mold 15 or the second lower mold 16, so as to ensure that the two lower molds will not deviate when they are docked with the plug block 27 after entering.

[0054] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the outer walls of the gas inlet pipe 23 and the liquid inlet pipe 24 are fixedly provided with electromagnetic valves 51, and the two electromagnetic valves 51 are respectively used to control the opening and closing of the gas inlet pipe 23 and the liquid inlet pipe 24, so as to facilitate the injection of the metal liquid into the crucible 22 and the inlet of the compressed gas.

[0055] The working principle of the present application is as follows: the device is provided with a controller, and each electrical equipment on the device is electrically connected with the controller, when the unmanned aerial vehicle battery box low-pressure casting work is carried out, first, the controller is started to make the output end of the air cylinder 26 vertically downward, since the output end is fixedly connected with the upper mold 14 through the push plate 25, the upper mold 14 and the plug block 27 at the bottom of the upper mold 14 vertically descend together, until the bottom of the upper mold 14 is combined with the top of the first lower mold 15, and then the plug block 27 is inserted into the first recess 28, and the gap between the plug block 27 and the first recess 28 forms a first cavity for forming a thick-wall battery box.

[0056] When the first cavity is formed, first, the electromagnetic valve 51 on the injection pipe 24 is started by the controller, so that the injection pipe 24 is opened, and the molten metal for casting the battery box is poured into the inside of the crucible 22 through the injection pipe 24, and the liquid level is controlled below the second electric push rod 35, then the electromagnetic valve 51 on the injection pipe 24 is closed by the controller, so that the injection pipe 24 is closed, and the electromagnetic valve 51 on the air inlet pipe 23 is started by the controller, so that the air inlet pipe 23 is opened, and the inside of the crucible 22 is connected to the compressed gas by using the existing air compressor or other equipment.

[0057] When the injection pipe 24 remains closed and the compressed gas is connected to the inside of the crucible 22 containing the molten metal through the air inlet pipe 23, a low pressure is caused on the surface of the molten metal, so that the molten metal enters the first cavity formed between the plug 27 and the first recess 28 through the conveying channel 34 in the riser 10, the first through hole 32 on the adjusting plate 17 and the first liquid inlet 30 at the bottom of the first lower mold 15 in sequence, and the second electric push rod 35 is started by the controller, so that the output end drives the baffle 36 to extend to the end close to the second lower mold 16, and then the first through hole 32 is shielded by the baffle 36, facilitating the casting and forming of the battery box in the first cavity; in addition, it should be noted that the length, width and height of the first recess 28 are greater than those of the second recess 29, so that the thickness of the battery box cast by the first cavity is larger, and therefore the diameter of the first liquid inlet 30 is designed to be larger than that of the second liquid inlet 31, avoiding the generation of pores inside or near the surface of the product due to the too fast flow rate of the molten metal when casting thick-walled products, avoiding the decrease of the fatigue strength of the battery box, thereby improving the service life.

[0058] Since the length, width and height of the first recess 28 are greater than those of the second recess 29, after the plug 27 is inserted into the second recess 29, the gap between them forms the second cavity, so that the thickness of the battery box cast by the second cavity is smaller, when it is needed to cast a thin-walled battery box, the first electric push rod 18 is started by the controller, so that the output end drives the first lower mold 15 to slide away from the limit block, since the first lower mold 15 is fixedly connected with the second lower mold 16 through four connecting rods, the second lower mold 16 is driven to slide to the end close to the plug 27, since the second lower mold 16 is fixedly connected with the rack 39 through the sliding plate 38, the sliding plate 38 is slidingly connected with the casting table 12 through the guide rod, the rack 39 is slidingly connected with the guide rail 42, the first gear 40 and the second gear 41 are fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively, and the rack 39, the first gear 40 and the second gear 41 are sequentially meshed and connected, so that the second rotating shaft is driven to rotate clockwise.

[0059] When the second rotating shaft rotates clockwise, the rotating disc 44 is fixedly connected with the bottom end of the second rotating shaft, the push block 46 is slidingly connected with the slide rail, the rotating disc 44 and the push block 46 are respectively hingedly connected with the two ends of the connecting rod 45, the insertion rod 47 is fixedly connected with one end of the push block 46, the end of the insertion rod 47 away from the push block 46 is fixedly connected with the adjusting plate 17, the insertion rod 47 is inserted with the casting table 12, and the adjusting plate 17 is driven to slide in the slide groove 19 away from the mounting table 21, that is, when the second lower mold 16 slides to the position directly below the insertion block 27, the second through hole 33 on the adjusting plate 17 is aligned with the second liquid inlet 31 at the bottom of the second groove 29, so as to reduce the diameter of the liquid inlet, improve the flow rate of the metal liquid, and thus be beneficial to enhance the flowability of the metal liquid, prevent the metal liquid from not filling the cavity and the large-area cold shut defects of the thin-wall casting.

[0060] The telescopic spring 43 cooperates with the first electric push rod 18 to play an auxiliary buffering role, so as to ensure that the second lower mold 16 drives the rack 39 to slide uniformly through the slide plate 38, and improve the stability of the adjustment.
