DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application discloses a die-casting mold for a front cylinder head of a vehicle air-conditioning compressor.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 The die-casting mold of the front cylinder head of the automotive air-conditioning compressor includes an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The lower mold 2 is fixed on the workbench through a supporting block. A cavity 21 is provided on the top surface of the lower mold 2. A core 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the upper mold 1. The core 11 cooperates with the cavity 21. A gate 12 connected to the inside of the cavity 21 is provided on the top surface of the upper mold 1. A cylinder 3 for driving the upper mold 1 to rise and fall is fixed on the top surface of the upper mold 1. The piston rod of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the upper mold 1, and the cylinder body of the cylinder 3 is fixed to the workbench through a matching mounting frame.

[0031] A buffer assembly 4 is arranged on the top surface of the lower mold 2, and the buffer assembly 4 includes a buffer rod 41 and a buffer spring 42. A buffer groove 22 is opened on the top surface of the lower mold 2 for the buffer rod 41 to rise and fall. The buffer spring 42 is located in the buffer groove 22, and one end of the buffer spring 42 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the buffer groove 22, and the other end of the buffer spring 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the buffer rod 41. The buffer spring 42 applies a force to the buffer rod 41 to make the buffer rod 41 move upward; a buffer pad 43 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the buffer rod 41, and the outer diameter of the buffer pad 43 is consistent with the outer diameter of the buffer rod 41. The depth of the buffer groove 22 is greater than the total length of the buffer rod 41 and the buffer pad 43, and the buffer pad 43 can be lowered until the top surface of the buffer pad 43 is flush with the top surface of the lower mold 2.

[0032] During the descent of the upper mold 1, under the action of the buffer spring 42, the buffer pad 43 on the top surface of the buffer rod 41 contacts the bottom surface of the upper mold 1, which has a buffer effect, reducing the damage to the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 caused by the rigid collision when the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are closed, thereby increasing the service life of the mold.

[0033] Four groups of buffer components 4 are provided, with each side of the lower mold 2 corresponding to one group, thereby providing a uniform buffering force to the upper mold 1 .

[0034] A guide rod is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the buffer rod 41 , and a guide groove 221 for the guide rod to slide is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the buffer groove 22 , thereby improving the movement stability of the buffer rod 41 .

[0035] The guide rods 411 of each buffer rod 41 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buffer rod 41 in the radial direction, and the guide groove 221 of each buffer groove 22 is matched with the position of the corresponding guide rod 411 .

[0036] Positioning rods 5 are also provided on the top surface of the lower mold 2, and the positioning rods 5 are located at the four corners of the top surface of the lower mold 2. Positioning holes 13 for the positioning rods 5 to pass through are opened on the bottom surface of the upper mold 1 to provide positioning guidance for the movement of the upper mold 1.

[0037] The positioning rod 5 includes an inner rod core 51 and a friction layer 52 covering the outer side of the inner rod core 51. The inner rod core 51 is a steel part, and the friction layer 52 is a rubber part. The friction layer 52 abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the positioning hole 13. The friction layer 52 of the positioning rod 5 flexibly rubs against the inner wall of the positioning hole 13, which further has a buffering effect on the descending process of the upper mold 1.

[0038] A first plate body 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side walls at both ends of the upper mold 1, and a second plate body 23 is fixedly connected to the outer side walls at both ends of the lower mold 2. When the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are assembled, the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 23 are close to each other on one side thereof, and the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 23 are fixed by connecting components 6. There are two sets of connecting components 6 corresponding to each first plate body 14, and the two sets of connecting components 6 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the length direction of the first plate body 14.

[0039] The connecting assembly 6 includes a connecting column 61 and a limiting rod 62. The connecting column 61 is rotatably connected to a surface of the second plate body 23 close to the first plate body 14. The limiting rod 62 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 61. The limiting rod 62 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the connecting column 61. The first plate body 14 is provided with a connecting hole 141 for the connecting column 61 to pass through and a limiting hole 142 for the limiting rod 62 to pass through. The distance between the bottom surface of the limiting rod 62 and the top surface of the second plate body 23 is a first length. The thickness of the first plate body 14 is a second length. The first length is consistent with the second length.

[0040] After the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are molded together, the connecting column 61 and the limiting rod 62 pass through the corresponding connecting holes 141 and limiting holes 142, and then the connecting column 61 is rotated to make the bottom surface of the limiting rod 62 abut against the top surface of the first plate body 14, thereby quickly fixing the first plate body 14 and the second plate body 23, thereby improving the efficiency of fixing the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. When it is necessary to release the fixation, the connecting column 61 is rotated until the limiting rod 62 is aligned with the limiting hole 142 so that the limiting rod 62 can move along the limiting hole 142 to separate the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

[0041] A receiving groove 231 is provided on the top surface of the second plate body 23 for accommodating the bottom end of the connecting column 61, a positioning ring plate 232 is coaxially connected to the outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the connecting column 61, and a positioning ring groove 233 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 231 for the positioning ring plate 232 to rotate. When the connecting column 61 is rotated, the positioning ring plate 232 rotates in the positioning ring groove 233 to axially position the connecting column 61.

[0042] An ejection assembly 7 is arranged below the lower mold 2, and the ejection assembly 7 includes a push rod 71, a top plate 72, and an electric push rod 73. A lifting groove 24 for lifting and lowering the push rod 71 is opened on the bottom surface of the lower mold 2, and the lifting groove 24 is connected with the cavity 21. When the push rod 71 is at the lowest position, the top surface of the push rod 71 is flush with the inner bottom wall of the cavity 21. Two push rods 71 ​​are arranged, and the top plate 72 is located below the push rod 71. The bottom surfaces of the two push rods 71 ​​are connected to the top surface of the top plate 72 at the same time. The electric push rod 73 is located below the top plate 72. The shell of the electric push rod 73 is fixed on the workbench, and the movable rod of the electric push rod 73 is connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 72.

[0043] When demolding is required, the connecting column 61 is rotated until the limiting rod 62 is aligned with the limiting hole 142, and then the piston rod of the cylinder 3 is retracted to drive the upper mold 1 to rise to its original position, and then the movable rod of the electric push rod 73 is extended to drive the two push rods 71 ​​to rise to push the workpiece out of the cavity 21, so as to facilitate the removal of the workpiece.

[0044] The implementation principle of the die-casting mold of the front cylinder head of a vehicle air-conditioning compressor in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0045] When the mold is closed, the cylinder 3 drives the upper mold 1 to descend. Under the action of the buffer spring 42, the buffer pad 43 on the top surface of the buffer rod 41 contacts the bottom surface of the upper mold 1, which has a buffer effect. When the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are close to each other, the buffer rod 41 and the buffer pad 43 are completely located in the buffer groove 22 and do not hinder the mold closing. At this time, the connecting column 61 and the limiting rod 62 pass through the corresponding connecting hole 141 and the limiting hole 142, and then the connecting column 61 is rotated to make the bottom surface of the limiting rod 62 abut against the top surface of the first plate body 14, so as to quickly fix the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, and then inject the molten metal through the gate 12 and wait for molding.

[0046] When demolding is required after molding, the connecting column 61 is rotated until the limiting rod 62 is aligned with the limiting hole 142, and then the piston rod of the cylinder 3 is retracted to drive the upper mold 1 to rise to its original position, and then the movable rod of the electric push rod 73 is extended to drive the two ejector rods 71 ​​to rise to eject the workpiece out of the cavity 21.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
