Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of die casting, in particular to a modular vacuum die casting unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The core of the modular vacuum die casting unit is to decompose the traditional and integrated vacuum die casting equipment into functionally independent modules (such as smelting module, injection module, vacuum system module, mold temperature control module, picking / cleaning module, control module, etc.), and then flexibly combine and configure according to production needs.

[0003] Although modularization is achieved, mechanical interfaces (positioning, locking), electrical interfaces (signals, power), vacuum / hydraulic / cooling pipelines and other interfaces may not be standardized or quickly switched. When replacing modules (such as mold changing, maintenance, process adjustment), a large amount of manual operation (disassembling bolts, plugging pipelines, rewiring, calibration) is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the downtime is long. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a modular vacuum die casting unit, which aims to set a standardized interface between the injection module and the smelting module, facilitate quick switching, and reduce the time and downtime of manual operation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] A modular vacuum die casting unit includes a first interface end and a second interface end, the first interface end is fixedly arranged in the smelting module, and the second interface end is fixedly arranged in the injection module. When the first interface end and the second interface end are connected, the first interface end and the second interface end are connected through a plurality of positioning grooves and positioning plates corresponding to each other to fix the radial direction, and then a bevel plate is inserted into a bevel groove to fix the axial direction to complete the connection.

[0007] Preferably, the first interface end is in the shape of a cylinder, a channel is formed in the first interface end, a plurality of positioning grooves are circumferentially and equidistantly arranged on the top of the first interface end, and the top of the first interface end is spaced apart to form a flat surface and a diagonal bevel surface. The bottom of the first interface end is fixedly arranged with the smelting module.

[0008] Preferably, the second interface end is in the shape of a cylinder, a channel is formed in the second interface end, a plurality of positioning plates are circumferentially and equidistantly fixedly connected to the bottom of the second interface end, and the plurality of positioning plates are adapted to the plurality of positioning grooves and can be completely and exactly clamped in each diagonal bevel surface. The top of the second interface end is fixedly arranged with the injection module.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected in the second interface end, the fixing block is in the shape of a cylinder, part of the fixing block is located in the channel of the second interface end, and the other part is located outside the channel of the second interface end. After connection, the part located outside the channel of the second interface end enters the channel of the first interface end.

[0010] Preferably, a first inclined groove is provided in the first interface end channel, the first inclined groove is arranged in a ring, and a plurality of second inclined grooves are provided in the fixing block, the plurality of second inclined grooves are equidistantly distributed around the circumference, and an inclined block is slidably arranged in the second inclined groove. The second inclined groove on the fixing block enters the first interface end channel and is connected to the first inclined groove.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed block has an inlet and an outlet at both ends, and the fixed block also has a rectangular groove. The rectangular groove is connected to the inlet and outlet. A rectangular plate is slidably connected in the rectangular groove, and the rectangular plate abuts against the inclined block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] This invention allows the positioning plate to enter the positioning groove, and relies on its unique inclined surface to guide the positioning plate until the two are completely fitted and locked together. This ensures that the first interface end and the second interface end are stable in the radial direction and do not easily move. The raw material flows from the second interface end to the inlet, then enters the rectangular groove and pushes the rectangular plate. The movement of the rectangular plate allows the inlet to connect with the outlet through the rectangular groove until the raw material enters the first interface end. During the process of pushing the rectangular plate, the rectangular plate simultaneously pushes the inclined block, causing the inclined block to enter the first inclined groove simultaneously, thereby hooking the first interface end. This ensures that the first interface end and the second interface end are stable in the axial direction and do not easily move. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Reference Appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 A modular vacuum die-casting unit includes a first interface end 1 and a second interface end 2. The first interface end 1 is fixedly installed in the melting module, and the second interface end 2 is fixedly installed in the injection module. During docking, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are engaged with each other through multiple positioning grooves 3 and positioning plates 4 to fix the radial direction, and then the inclined plate is inserted into the inclined groove to fix the axial direction to complete the docking.

[0020] The first interface end 1 is cylindrical in shape, with a through channel 5 inside. Multiple positioning slots 3 are equidistantly arranged on its top, so that the top of the first interface end 1 forms a plane and a diagonal slope at intervals. The bottom of the first interface end 1 is fixedly set with the melting module.

[0021] The second interface end 2 is cylindrical in shape, with a through channel 5 inside. Multiple positioning plates 4 are fixedly connected to its bottom at equal intervals around its circumference, which are adapted to multiple positioning slots 3 and can be completely and precisely locked in each diagonal inclined surface. The top of the second interface end 2 is fixedly set with the injection module.

[0022] With the above technical solution, when the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are connected, the top of the first interface end 1 and the bottom of the second interface end 2 are close to each other, so that the positioning plate 4 enters the positioning groove 3. The positioning plate 4 is guided by its unique inclined surface until the two are completely attached and stuck. At this time, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are stable in the radial direction and not easily moved.

[0023] A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected inside the second interface end 2. The fixing block 6 is cylindrical in shape. Part of the fixing block 6 is located inside the channel 5 of the second interface end 2, and the other part is located outside the channel 5 of the second interface end 2. After docking, the part located outside the channel 5 of the second interface end 2 enters the inside of the channel 5 of the first interface end 1.

[0024] A first inclined groove 7 is provided in the channel 5 of the first interface end 1. The first inclined groove 7 is arranged in a ring. A plurality of second inclined grooves 8 are provided in the fixing block 6. The plurality of second inclined grooves 8 are equidistantly distributed around the circumference. An inclined block 9 is slidably arranged in the second inclined groove 8. The second inclined groove 9 on the fixing block 6 in the channel 5 of the first interface end 1 is connected to the first inclined groove 7.

[0025] The fixed block 6 has an inlet 10 and an outlet 11 at both ends. The fixed block 6 also has a rectangular groove 12. The rectangular groove 12 is connected to the inlet 10 and the outlet 11. A rectangular plate 13 is slidably connected in the rectangular groove 12. The rectangular plate 13 abuts against the inclined block 9.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] When docking, the second interface end 2 is located above the first interface end 1, and the positioning plate 4 enters the positioning groove 3. The positioning plate 4 is guided by its unique inclined surface until the two are completely attached and locked. At this time, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are stable in the radial direction and do not move easily.

[0028] During docking, the second interface end 2 is located horizontally to the first interface end 1. Then, the positioning plate 4 enters the positioning groove 3 and is guided by its unique inclined surface until the two are completely fitted and locked. At this moment, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are stable in the radial direction and do not move easily. Under the guidance of gravity, some of the inclined blocks 9 enter the first inclined groove 7 and hook the first interface end 1. At this moment, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are stable in the axial direction and do not move easily.

[0029] When liquid raw material is injected from the injection module to the melting module, the raw material flows from the second interface end 2 to the inlet 10, then enters the rectangular groove 12 and pushes the rectangular plate 13. The movement of the rectangular plate 13 makes the inlet 10 connected to the outlet 11 through the rectangular groove 12 until the raw material enters the first interface end 1. During the process of pushing the rectangular plate 13, the rectangular plate 13 simultaneously pushes the inclined block 9 so that the inclined block 9 enters the first inclined groove 7 simultaneously, thereby hooking the first interface end 1. Thus, the first interface end 1 and the second interface end 2 are stabilized in the axial direction and are not easily moved.

[0030] It should be noted that the first interface end, the second interface end, and the melting module and injection module can be fixed by welding.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
