Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy differential, low-pressure casting mold technology, and more specifically to a novel spot cooling device and casting mold which has simple structure, low manufacturing cost, high stability and can accurately control the mold temperature. Background Art

[0002] In the casting production process, the temperature of the mold plays a key role in the appearance and internal quality of the casting. During the die casting process, the casting follows the step cooling, from the far end of the casting to the center of the riser, and gradually cools and solidifies in sequence. The mold is hot where it should be hot, and cool where it should be cool. Only after the mold temperature is balanced can the casting with uniform internal structure, good quality and good appearance be produced. In order to achieve mold temperature balance and accurately control the mold temperature, a spot cooling device is required.

[0003] The traditional spot cooling device is divided into three parts: the spot cooling joint, the intermediate water transport pipe, the thread, the mold body opening, and the installation of the spot cooling device. The principle is that cooling water enters from the water inlet of the spot cooling device, the depth of the cold water is controlled by the length of the intermediate pipe, and the water returns from the gap between the mold hole and the intermediate water transport pipe. Finally, water is discharged from the water outlet of the spot cooling device, thereby realizing single-point local water circulation and achieving the purpose of local cooling.

[0004] The disadvantage of the traditional spot cooling device is that the middle water pipe is easy to fall off. The middle water pipe is threadedly connected to the spot cooling joint. In production and use, under the impact of water flow and rust, the middle water pipe is easy to fall off. After the middle water pipe falls off, the cooling water flows directly from the water inlet to the water outlet. The cooling water cannot circulate to the desired cooling part, resulting in failure of spot cooling, excessive mold temperature, and insufficient cooling, which eventually leads to quality problems such as internal shrinkage of the casting and aluminum sticking on the surface. It also affects the production rhythm and cannot be produced normally. In addition, the mold maintenance cycle and difficulty are increased, because the middle water pipe cannot be found without disassembling the spot cooling device. Because it is installed inside the spot cooling device, the differential pressure mold has multiple cavities (four cavities, six cavities, eight cavities), and there are 60-120 spot cooling devices. During maintenance, all of them need to be disassembled and inspected, which greatly increases the labor intensity of maintenance workers. If the middle water pipe falls off during the production process, it cannot be repaired on the machine. It can only be repaired by stopping the machine and unloading the mold, which has a great impact on production. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, after the water transport ring and the water transport pipe are assembled and welded, an intermediate water transport pipe with a T-shaped structure is formed.

Throughout the accompanying drawings, the same elements are represented by the same or similar figure marks. Conventional structures or local structures will be omitted when they may cause confusion or difficulty in observing and understanding the understanding of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the order and numerical values ​​of components and assembly steps set forth in the embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] New spot cooling device ( Figure 1 ) is mainly composed of four spare parts, namely: spot cooling head 10, thread 20, water transport ring 30, water transport pipe 40, and each spare part is made of 304 stainless steel.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the spot cooling head 10 is constructed as a hexagonal column as a whole, and the water transport ring mounting hole 4 for mounting the water transport ring 30 is connected with the return water hole 46 via the neck hole 47, wherein the water inlet port 44 and the water outlet port 45 opened on the peripheral wall of the spot cooling head 10 for mounting the water inlet 2 and the water outlet 3 are respectively connected with the water transport ring mounting hole 4 and the return water hole 46.

[0028] More specifically, the spot cold head 10 is processed with a water transport ring mounting hole 4 at the top end a to cooperate with the outer diameter portion of the water transport ring 30, and a return water hole 46 is processed at the bottom c to connect the water transport ring mounting hole 4 and the return water hole 46 through a necking hole 47, and a water inlet port 44 and a water outlet port 45 are processed on the side b, and threads 5 are processed at the mouths of the return water hole 46, the water inlet port 44 and the water outlet port 45, and the thread size is processed according to the specifications of the corresponding pairs of threads 20 (corresponding to the third pair of threads, the first pair of threads, and the second pair of threads).

[0029] like Figure 3 The thread pair 20 shown adopts a thread 6 in the form of an NPT sealing thread, and the length is determined according to the corresponding installation space position.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the water transport ring 30 is constituted as a cylinder with a hollow blind hole portion, and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder includes a matching surface Ⅰ8 and a matching surface Ⅱ9 that match the water transport ring mounting hole 4, and a water inlet hole 41 is opened in the recessed portion between the matching surface Ⅰ8 and the matching surface Ⅱ9, and the water inlet hole 41 is connected to the hollow blind hole portion. When the water transport ring 30 is installed in the water transport ring mounting hole 4 of the spot cold head 10, the matching surface Ⅰ8 prevents water leakage, and the matching surface Ⅱ9 prevents water inflow and water outflow. The water inlet 2 is connected to the hollow blind hole portion of the water transport ring 30 via the water inlet hole 41.

[0031] The water transport pipe installation hole 7 processed at the bottom of the water transport ring 30 constitutes the opening of the hollow blind hole portion, which is used to install the water transport pipe 40.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, the intermediate water transport pipe 70 is composed of the water transport ring 30 and the water transport pipe 40. The water transport ring 30 and the water transport pipe 40 are assembled and welded to fix (mark 11 is the welding point of the water transport ring 30 and the water transport pipe 40). That is, the water transport pipe 40 is inserted into the positioning groove of the water transport pipe installation hole 7 of the water transport ring 30 for positioning, and then welded to fix, so that the water transport pipe 40 and the water transport ring 30 are connected as a whole to form a T-shaped structure.

[0033] Among them, the outer diameter of the water transport ring 30 forms a matching surface I8 and a matching surface II9, which match the water transport ring installation hole 4 of the spot cold head 10. The matching tolerance is controlled according to the basic hole system H7 / g6, and the inlet and outlet water flow is blocked after assembly. The length of the water transport pipe 40 is made according to the hole depth of the installation part, and the length is generally made 10mm shorter than the hole depth, and the front end is a 45° bevel.

[0034] like Figure 7 The installation structure of the new spot cooling device shown in the figure, after the water transport ring 30 and the water transport pipe 40 are assembled and welded to form an intermediate water transport pipe 70, the intermediate water transport pipe 70 is inserted from the water transport ring installation hole 4 of the spot cooling head 10, and the shape matching relationship between the above-mentioned T-shaped structure and the surrounding area of ​​the necking hole 47 is utilized. The assembly adopts a shoulder hanging table type connection, and then it is welded and fixed (the mark 1 is the welding point between the spot cooling head 10 and the intermediate water transport pipe 70).

[0035] The mold is provided with a water cooling hole 12 at the part where the cooling zone is required, and the above-mentioned new spot cooling device is installed. The cooling water enters from the water inlet 2, passes through the water inlet hole 41 of the water transport ring 30, and then reaches the root of the part where cooling is required, that is, the bottom of the water cooling hole 12 through the water transport pipe 40, and then flows back from the annular side wall space part Ⅰ13 between the water transport pipe 40 and the water cooling hole 12, and then flows back from the annular side wall space part Ⅱ14 between the water transport pipe 40 and the pair of wires 20, and finally flows out from the water outlet 3, and the water circuit circulation is completed, thereby achieving the purpose of local precise spot cooling. Here, the outer diameter of the water transport pipe 40 is smaller than the inner diameter of the water transport ring installation hole 4, the necking hole 47, the pair of wires 20 (equivalent to the third pair of wires), and the water cooling hole 12. The bottom opening of the water inlet 2 is opposite to or abuts against the water inlet hole 41 of the water transport ring 30.

[0036] The technical solution adopted by the novel spot cooling device to solve its technical problems is: the middle water transport pipe 70 is divided into two parts, consisting of a water transport ring 30 and a water transport pipe 40, which form a T-shaped structure after assembly. The middle water transport pipe 70 and the spot cooling head 10 are assembled using a T-shaped shoulder hanging table connection. The water transport ring 30 has two functions: the first function is to separate the inlet and outlet water channels. The principle is to use a precise clearance fit and a base hole system H7 / g6 fit tolerance to ensure that the inlet and outlet water channels will not flow in series; the second function is to fix the water transport pipe 40, and the water transport pipe 40 is spliced ​​together to form a whole to form a T-shaped structure, which is fixed inside the spot cooling head 10, so as to achieve a never-falling effect.

[0037] In the description of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than three, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. Unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. Although the present invention has been described with reference to various specific embodiments, it should be understood that variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the concept of the described utility model. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but will have the full scope defined by the language of the appended claims.
