Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting equipment, and more specifically, to a casting mold for an automobile exhaust pipe. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's automobile industry, my country has the ability to independently develop and produce automobiles. The exhaust pipe is an important component in the automobile. The automobile exhaust pipe is also called the automobile exhaust pipe hose. It is installed in the exhaust pipe between the engine exhaust branch pipe and the muffler, making the entire exhaust system flexibly connected, thereby reducing vibration and noise, facilitating installation and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system. It is mainly used in light vehicles, micro vehicles and buses. Its structure is a double-layer corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, and the straight edge sections at both ends are covered with a clamping ring. In order to achieve a better muffler effect, the bellows can be equipped with a telescopic joint or a mesh sleeve.
[0003] Existing automobile exhaust pipe casting molds, such as an exhaust pipe casting mold proposed by Chinese patent number CN208929140U, include an upper mold plate and a lower mold plate, which are arranged layer by layer in sequence, one side of the upper mold plate is provided with an upper mold cavity, one side of the lower mold plate is provided with a lower mold cavity matched with the upper mold cavity, a first sand mold block and a second sand mold block for molding the internal pipe of the exhaust pipe are installed in the lower mold cavity, the first sand mold block and the second sand mold block are plugged and matched, and a third sand mold block and a fourth sand mold block are also arranged in the lower mold cavity, and the third sand mold block and the fourth sand mold block wrap part of the second sand mold block. The advantage of this exhaust pipe casting mold is that it is dedicated to molding a certain exhaust pipe.
[0004] Due to the special shape of automobile exhaust pipes, there are many bends and the length runs through the bottom of the car, which makes casting difficult. Dead corners are easily formed in the bend area of the inner runner during casting. Due to the gas pressure in the cavity, the gasified residues accumulate in the dead corners to form pores. In addition, the automobile exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel, which contains a certain amount of hydrogen. These hydrogen elements will form bubbles in the metal liquid at high temperatures, which may cause uneven density of the steel and affect the strength and toughness of the steel. The generation and diffusion of bubbles inside the steel will cause cracks on the surface of the steel, affecting the appearance and quality of the steel. If the gas in the metal liquid is not discharged during the casting process, pores will be formed inside the steel, reducing the strength of the steel. In order to ensure the thickness, bending smoothness, quality and performance of stainless steel parts, we propose a casting mold for automobile exhaust pipes. Utility Model Content

[0032] A clamping plate is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the upper part of the inner sand mold 3, and the clamping plate is embedded in the inner side of the clamping slot. The clamping slot is arranged at the top of the lower part of the inner sand mold 3. The upper and lower parts of the inner sand mold 3 are clamped and connected, and the staff can install and assemble it simply and quickly.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper sand mold 11 and the lower sand mold 1 21 together constitute the front end of the automobile exhaust pipe casting, the upper sand mold 2 12 and the lower sand mold 2 22 together constitute the middle end of the automobile exhaust pipe casting, the front end and the middle end casting parts are the lateral parts of the exhaust pipe, the upper sand mold 3 13 and the lower sand mold 3 23 together constitute the bent tail end of the automobile exhaust pipe casting, and the bent tail end is fixedly provided with a tailing sand block 33 with the same size as the exhaust hole inside the automobile exhaust pipe, and its size can be limited when the sand mold is made according to needs, suitable for different exhaust requirements, a circular plate is provided at the other end of the tailing sand block 33, and the other end of the circular plate is embedded in the slot, the slot is set at one end of the middle sand block 32, and the other end of the middle sand block 32 is fixedly provided with a circular plate, and the other end of the circular plate is connected with the slot, and the slot is set at one end of the head sand block 31, and the head sand block 31 and the middle sand block 32 are in the same straight line, so that the staff can accurately engage and limit them;
[0034] The holes and grooves between the upper sand mold 3 13, the lower sand mold 3 23 and the tailing sand block 33, the holes and grooves between the lower sand mold 1 21, the lower sand mold 22 and the lower sand mold 3 23, and the holes and grooves between the upper sand mold 1 11, the lower sand mold 1 21 and the head sand block 31 together constitute the molding cavity 6. The molten iron is cooled and solidified in the molding cavity 6 to form the required automobile exhaust pipe. Two air holes 132 are arranged at the top bend of the upper sand mold 3 13.

[0035] Before casting the automobile exhaust pipe, first place the lower sand mold 3 23 inside the flat lower mold 2, then place the upper sand mold 3 13 on the top of the lower sand mold 3 23 fixed with the tailing sand block 33 to form the tail end of the automobile exhaust pipe casting, then place the lower sand mold 2 22, the lower sand mold 3 23 and the lower sand mold 1 21 in sequence to form the middle end of the automobile exhaust pipe casting, and finally place the upper sand mold 2 12, the upper sand mold 3 13 and the upper sand mold 1 11 in sequence, which are fixed and locked with each other to facilitate the workers to operate quickly, and at the same time, the combined interior also forms a molding cavity 6 for the final molding of the exhaust pipe, and the molding cavity 6 is evenly provided with air holes 2 at the bend at the tail end. 32 and pore 1 132, pore 1 132 and pore 2 232 are evenly arranged on one side of the arc-shaped exhaust channel formed by the connecting channel 131 and the lower sand mold 21. Then the upper mold 1 is covered on the top of the lower mold 2, and the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are engaged with each other. At this time, the top of the arc-shaped exhaust channel is connected with the exhaust port 15, and the top of the exhaust port 15 is hingedly connected with a dust cover 14. When the molten iron pouring operation is not performed, it is closed. Before the molten iron pouring operation is performed, it is opened to facilitate gas discharge. Finally, molten iron is poured into the molding cavity 6. The high-temperature molten iron makes the molding cavity 6 in a high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the air is squeezed and can be quickly discharged.
