AI Technical Summary
Existing casting molds have incomplete venting during the pouring process, resulting in defects such as porosity and cold shuts in the castings. This is especially difficult to adjust through mold flow analysis for large or complex castings.
The system adopts an upper and lower mold structure, with mating surfaces and barriers at the parting surface. Before mold closing, the molten metal is immersed in the mating surfaces, and air is discharged through the barriers and gaps. After mold closing, external and internal risers are formed, and slag inclusions are discharged by vibration using a vibrating platform, thus achieving full exhaust of gas inside the mold.
It effectively solves the defects of porosity and cold shut in castings, with short flow distance of molten metal, thin solidified body, and easy cleaning. It is suitable for gravity casting, pressure casting and squeeze casting.

[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, there is an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The upper and lower molds respectively have a parting surface 102 and a lower mold parting surface 202. The lower mold 2 has a metal molten metal enclosure 201 that extends above the parting surface to block the molten metal. Figure 1 As shown, the upper and lower molds are separated, and molten metal 3 is poured into the lower mold 2. Figure 2 This refers to the state during the mold closing process. Figure 3 This is the state after the upper and lower mold parting surfaces are fitted together. During the mold closing process, the two mold surfaces continuously approach each other, and the molten metal 3 is immersed in the two mold surfaces. There is a gap between the side 103 of the upper mold and the molten metal enclosure 201 of the lower mold. Air is discharged through this gap, and excess molten metal 3 is also discharged in this gap to form an external riser 5. The upper mold 1 has an upper mold feeding channel 104. The molten metal 3 in the external riser 5 feeds the casting workpiece 4 through the upper mold feeding channel 104. After solidification, the casting workpiece 4 is formed. The feeding channel solidified solid 6 formed by the external riser 5 and the upper mold feeding channel 104, as well as the metal solidified between the two mating surfaces before mold closing, cannot be discharged, thus forming a thin transition layer of the mold surface metal sheet 7.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Different from Example 1, as shown in Figure 4 , the upper mold 101 has an inner riser hole 105 as an inner riser, the upper mold feeding channel 104 can be cancelled, the mold closing surface of the upper and lower molds has no gap, the casting 4 is connected with the outer riser 5 after solidification, and the casting 4 and the outer riser 5 are connected by the mold closing surface metal sheet 7, and the inner riser 8 is connected with the casting 4.
[0041] Example 3
[0042] Different from Example 2, the upper mold 1 cancels the upper mold feeding channel 104 and leaves the inner riser hole 105 as a feeding riser, and after the mold closing of the example is completed, a mold locking device is used to apply a mold locking force to the upper and lower molds, as shown in Figure 7 , P-lock in the figure is the mold locking force, after the mold locking is completed, the injection rod 9 is pressed downward through the inner riser hole 105, as shown in Figure 8 , and the inner riser hole 105 and the injection rod 9 can have multiple groups.
[0043] Example 4
[0044] Different from the above examples, as shown in Figures 9-13 , the aluminum hub manufacturing process is that two sliders 11 are respectively installed on the aluminum hub lower mold plate 10 and can be left and right split and closed, and the aluminum hub upper mold 12, Figure 9 is in a state of separation of the upper and lower molds and pouring of the aluminum liquid, Figure 10 is in a state of the upper and lower molds being closed, and the aluminum liquid is immersed in the aluminum hub upper mold closing surface 121 and the slider closing surface 111 of the upper and lower mold closing surfaces before the mold closing, Figure 11 is in a state of the upper and lower molds being closed, Figure 12 is in a state of the mold locking being completed, Figure 13 the injection rod 9 is pressed downward to make the casting 3 complete solidification feeding under pressure, and as a comparison technology of the present example, as shown in Figures 14-18 , they are respectively the first step of pouring, the second step of the injection cylinder being adjusted and rising, the third step of the injection head being moved upward and injecting the aluminum liquid, the fourth step of the upper punch being pressed downward, and the fifth step of the upper punch punching, the exhaust groove of the comparison technology is the exhaust groove at the joint surface of the original technology upper mold 13 and 15 sliders, and the depth of the exhaust groove is generally between 0.1-0.2mm, and the width of the exhaust groove is between 5-25mm, which is very different from the open exhaust of the present example.
[0045] Example 5
[0046] Different from the above examples, as shown in Figure 19 , a vibration table 19 is installed under the lower mold 2, which can vibrate the residues in the metal liquid 3 to the surface of the metal liquid 3 and discharge them through the open exhaust port, which can effectively avoid the inclusion of the rotating body 4.
[0047] The above merely provides the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any change or replacement without creative labor should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be limited by the protection scope defined in the claims.
