[0002] The welding parts (deep cavity structure) of the die-cast aluminum alloy bracket used for welding have the following risks: Risk 1: The die-casting process is a high-speed and high-pressure metal liquid filling process. The gas inside the cavity cannot be completely discharged, and pores are formed inside the product, which needs to be improved by increasing the exhaust. Risk 2: Its welding position is the end of the product filling. The temperature of the aluminum liquid drops during the filling process, which is easy to form a cold shut, and the mold temperature needs to be increased to improve it. Risk 3: The wall thickness of the local area is relatively thick, which is prone to shrinkage defects such as shrinkage cavities and shrinkage, and requires cooling water. The above casting defects can easily lead to unqualified product porosity. The porosity control of the welding area of such products has always plagued the die-casting industry. Utility Model Content

[0008] Beneficial effects achieved by the utility model:
[0009] The utility model installs inserts on the upper mold core to form a deep cavity structure of the product, and sets exhaust grooves on the inserts to form exhaust channels with the inner wall of the assembly area, which promotes the rapid entry of aluminum liquid into the facade and the exhaust of gas in the cavity to avoid air roll-up.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0019] A mold structure that prevents cold shut, such as Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, it includes an upper mold core 1, a lower mold core 2, an insert 3 and a water-cooling needle 5. The surfaces of the upper mold core 1 and the lower mold core 2 are both concavely provided with cavities that match the product features. After the upper mold core 1 and the lower mold core 2 are covered together, the cavities of the two are combined to form the mold cavity of the product. An assembly area is set on the upper mold core 1 for installing the insert 3. Among them, the insert 3 includes a block body 31, and a feature portion 32 is extended from the lower end of the block body 31. The feature portion 32 is used to form a deep cavity structure of the product. The side wall surface of the block body 31 is concavely provided with an exhaust groove 33 that passes through from top to bottom. The exhaust groove and the inner wall of the assembly cavity form an exhaust channel. The upper end of the exhaust channel is connected to the exhaust pipeline 4, and the exhaust pipeline 4 is connected to the vacuum machine. The cavity is continuously vacuumed through the exhaust channel, and the gas in the deep cavity can be completely removed to prevent air entrainment and reduce the gradual porosity; at the same time, it promotes the filling of aluminum liquid. In addition, the exhaust groove 33 uses the inner wall of the assembly cavity to form an exhaust channel, which is convenient for the processing of the exhaust channel. A cooling pipeline 34 is recessed on the upper surface of the block body 31 , and the cooling pipeline extends to the characteristic portion 32 . The water-cooling needle 5 is inserted into the cooling channel 34 , and the water-cooling needle 5 cools the aluminum liquid through heat transfer from the insert 3 .
[0020] In this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, by setting an exhaust groove 33 on the side wall of the insert and continuously drawing vacuum during the vacuum period, the aluminum liquid is promoted to reach the vertical surface of the product, and all other liquids can be discharged to prevent air from rolling and avoid cold shut at the end of the inner vertical surface. A water cooling needle is set in the insert 3 to cool the thick wall, thereby ensuring product quality.
[0021] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the cooling pipeline 34 is provided with a heat insulation groove 341 radially outward, and the heat insulation groove 341 is located at a relative position where the product is prone to cold shut. In this embodiment, the upper end of the facade is located at the horizontal extension of the upper end of the product because the aluminum liquid arrives late and the wall is thin; therefore, the heat insulation groove 341 is located at the horizontal extension of the upper end of the product; through the heat insulation groove 341, an air heat insulation area is formed between the insert 3 and the water-cooling needle 5. After the cold water enters the water-cooling needle, the air heat transfer is lower than that of the solid, which can slow down the cooling speed of the upper end of the product facade, and the heat loss in the area prone to cold shut is small, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of cold shut, and the heat transfer is directly carried out through the insert 2 below to fully cool the thick wall area, with a small risk of shrinkage, no rapid cooling phenomenon, and greatly reduced risk of cold shut of the casting.
[0022] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the depth of the heat insulation groove 341 is set to 1±0.1 mm.
[0023] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the water-cooling needle 5 includes an inner tube 51, an outer tube 52 and two quick connectors 53. The outer tube 52 is sleeved outside the inner tube 51. The two quick connectors 53 are respectively installed on the inner tube 51 and the outer tube 52. The inner tube 51 is axially provided with a liquid inlet cavity 54, and a liquid return cavity 55 is formed between the inner tube 51 and the outer tube 52. The cooling water enters the liquid inlet cavity 54 from a quick connector, and then passes through the liquid return cavity 55 and is discharged from the other quick connector.
[0024] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, three exhaust grooves 33 are arranged at intervals on each side of the opposite sides of the insert 3, and the width W of the exhaust groove 33 is 3 mm and the thickness T is 0.05 mm, so as to improve the exhaust efficiency and prevent the aluminum liquid from overflowing.
[0025] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. If the present invention is modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, they should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
