In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for the purpose of clarity or simplification of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 6The present embodiment provides a precision investment casting pouring die head, including a pouring cup 1, the bottom of the pouring cup 1 is connected to a vertical main channel 2, the side wall of the vertical main channel 2 is connected to a plurality of transverse branch channels 3, the vertical main channel 2 is connected to a plurality of shrinkage blocks 4 distributed sequentially from top to bottom, the end of the transverse branch channel 3 away from the vertical main channel 2 is provided with a shrinkage block 4, the width of the shrinkage block 4 is greater than the widths of the vertical main channel 2 and the transverse branch channel 3; the shrinkage block 4 is provided with a water inlet 401, and the water inlet 401 is connected to the inside of the product cavity 9; the cup mouth 101 of the pouring cup 1 faces upward, and the edge of the cup mouth 101 of the pouring cup 1 is made into a flanging structure 102 that is folded outward, so that the edge of the cup mouth 101 of the pouring cup 1 is smooth. Function: (1) It includes a pouring cup, the bottom of the pouring cup is connected to a vertical main channel, the side wall of the vertical main channel is connected to a plurality of transverse branch channels, the vertical main channel is connected to a plurality of feeding blocks distributed from top to bottom, and a feeding block is provided at one end of the transverse branch channel away from the vertical main channel, and the width of the feeding block is greater than the width of the vertical main channel and the transverse branch channel; so that when the molten steel is filled, the molten steel will first flow downward from the pouring cup to the vertical main channel, then disperse from the vertical main channel to the transverse branch channel, and then flow to the adjacent feeding blocks. (2) A water inlet is provided on the feeding block, and the water inlet is connected to the inside of the product cavity; so that the molten steel can gradually fill the inside of the product cavity through the water inlets at various positions during the flow process. (3) With the mouth of the pouring cup facing upward, the edge of the mouth of the pouring cup is made into a flange structure that is folded outward, so that the edge of the mouth of the pouring cup is smooth; thereby, the cup mouth is made smooth by adding a flange at the cup mouth, preventing sand and slag from falling into the shell mold. From the above analysis, it can be seen that the utility model solves the problem of sand and slag falling into the shell mold by making a flange structure at the cup mouth of the die head. It is worth mentioning that, under normal circumstances, the shrinkage feeding block 4 should be as thick as the transverse branch channel 3, but the utility model now enlarges the shrinkage feeding block 7 (and increases the welding position of the water nozzle at the same time), reduces the size of the branches (such as the transverse branch channel 3), thereby reducing the weight and cost of the die head, because the heavier the die head, the lower the utilization rate of the molten steel into the finished product, resulting in an increase in cost, so the utility model can reduce the weight of the die head and achieve the same economic value.

[0027] Specifically, the flange structure 102 is first folded outward and then folded downward. Function: Even if sand residue appears on the outer edge of the flange structure 102, it can be easily dropped from the outer side of the pouring cup, thereby preventing the sand residue from falling into the shell mold.

[0028] Specifically, the top of the flange structure 102 is a circular ring-shaped plane 103. Function: The circular ring-shaped plane 103 makes the top of the flange structure 102 easier to process and smoother.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom of the flange structure 102 is an annular arc groove 104. Function: The annular arc groove 104 makes the bottom of the flange structure 102 more evenly stressed and is convenient for processing and manufacturing.

The front and rear side walls of the pouring cup 1 are respectively provided with a filling block 5. The filling block 5 is in close contact with the top of the adjacent water outlet 401 below. The vertical surface of the filling block 5 is parallel to the vertical surface of the water outlet 401, and the vertical surface of the filling block 5 is protruding outward compared to the vertical surface of the water outlet 401. Function: The function of the filling block 5 is to fill and level, thereby preventing sand inclusion in the shell. Because if it is not filled and leveled here, there will be an angle between the pouring cup 1 and the water outlet, and sand inclusion in the shell will occur (sand inclusion is a kind of "expansion defect", which has three forms: "rat tail", "groove" and "sand inclusion scar", which is characterized by: there are fine lines with sand on the surface of the cast iron. Strip grooves and scar-like protrusions. The scouring and baking of high-temperature molten iron cause the sand mold to migrate water and expand in volume, causing the surface layer to warp, lift and crack. This is the mechanism of sand inclusion.). The conical pouring cup 1 facilitates pouring.

[0032] Specifically, two feeding blocks 4 distributed up and down are fused together, and the front and rear ends of the two feeding blocks 4 distributed up and down are respectively provided with transverse surface channels 402, and the upper and lower parts of the transverse surface channels 402 are respectively provided with water inlets 401. Function: The setting of the surface channel 402 increases the strength and punching ability of the die head.

Function: The feeding blocks 4 are distributed in a quadrilateral shape, which is more convenient for the product cavity pouring of thin-walled high-temperature resistant automotive parts. By setting two groups of feeding blocks 4 and two product cavities 9 in front and back, the metal liquid can be poured into the product cavity 9 through each water inlet and cavity legs 901, and four cast iron products (i.e., thin-walled high-temperature resistant automotive parts) can be effectively completed at one time.

[0034] Specifically, wax discharge pipes 10 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the pouring cup 1, the top of the wax discharge pipe 10 is connected to the left side wall or the right side wall of the pouring cup 1, and the bottom of the wax discharge pipe 10 is connected to the feeding block 4 on the upper left side wall or the upper right side wall, so that the interior of the pouring cup 1 is connected to the interior of the feeding block 4 through the wax discharge pipe 10. Function: The wax discharge pipe 10 is a pipe for discharging wax and air when pouring molten metal.

[0035] Specifically, the front and rear side walls of the pouring cup 1 are respectively provided with protruding columns 6, which are located above the filling block 5 and below the flange structure 102. The left and right sides of the feeding blocks 4 are provided with cutting positioning columns 7 at one end away from the vertical main channel 2, and the bottom of the feeding block 4 is provided with a shell vibration positioning column 8 at one end away from the pouring cup 1. Function: Since it was previously a manual operation, the setting of the protruding column 6 (i.e., the position of the manipulator inserting the shell) can now realize automatic operation, because the shell can be used for forking during smelting and pouring. The cutting positioning column 7 is used for automatic cutting and positioning to reduce labor, and the shell vibration positioning column 8 is mainly used for positioning during the shell vibration process.

[0036] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
