Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting molds, and in particular to a fan wheel casting mold. Background Art
[0002] The fan wheel is a disc-shaped hub. The side edges and bottom center of the fan wheel are thicker, and the part between the side edges and the bottom center of the fan wheel is thinner. The fan wheel is usually manufactured using a casting mold. One casting mold can often manufacture four fan wheels at the same time to improve production efficiency.
[0003] When the molten iron flows evenly into the mold cavity, the flow rate of the molten iron and its cooling speed will cause certain differences in the strength of each area of the formed casting. For a casting mold that simultaneously manufactures four disc-shaped fan wheels, it is difficult to guide the molten iron to quickly fill the four mold cavities by setting a conventional inlet gate at the position of any disc-shaped fan wheel cavity. The long flow path will also cause the molten iron to cool prematurely, resulting in hollowing and larger bubbles, causing casting failure. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the present invention adopts the design of the pouring head and the branch channel, the molten iron can be evenly distributed to the four branch channels after passing through the pouring head, and then quickly fill the four fan wheel cavities through the branch channels, thereby ensuring that the molten iron can evenly and quickly fill the cavity of the entire mold, thereby improving the success rate of fan wheel casting.
[0008] Optionally, the branch flow channels are arranged on the mold, and one end of each branch flow channel away from the pouring head is located between two fan wheel cavities, and each branch flow channel is connected to two adjacent fan wheel cavities at the same time.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of each branch channel away from the pouring head is located between the two fan wheel cavities. This design enables each fan wheel cavity to have two liquid inlet points.

[0010] Optionally, a first cold iron connected to the mold is provided around the circumference of each of the fan wheel cavities, and the first cold iron can cool the hot iron in the fan wheel cavity.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the circumferential side of the fan wheel is thicker, the first chill can increase the cooling speed of the thicker position of the fan wheel, allowing it to be quickly formed, thereby increasing the casting speed of the fan wheel.
[0012] Optionally, the first chiller is provided in multiple pieces, and the multiple pieces of the first chiller together surround the fan wheel cavity.

[0019] Optionally, a second cold iron connected to the mold is also provided at the bottom center of the fan wheel cavity.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, since the bottom center of the fan wheel is thicker, the second chiller mainly cools the bottom center area of the fan wheel cavity to ensure that this area can achieve the same cooling effect as other areas.

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0029] An embodiment of the present application discloses a fan wheel casting mold.
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a fan wheel casting mold is provided on the mold, and four identical fan wheel cavities 1 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the center of the casting mold and the distance between each fan wheel cavity 1 and the center point of the casting mold is equal. The center point of the mold is connected with a pouring head 2, and the bottom of the pouring head 2 is connected with four branch channels 3 of the same length. The branch channels 3 are arranged on the mold, and the branch channels 3 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the pouring head 2. The end of each branch channel 3 away from the pouring head 2 is located between two fan wheel cavities 1, and each branch channel 3 is connected with two adjacent fan wheel cavities 1 at the same time.
[0031] During the pouring process, the molten iron is first evenly distributed to the four branch channels 3 through the pouring head 2. Since the branch channels 3 have the same length and are evenly arranged along the circumference of the pouring head 2, the molten iron can flow into the four fan wheel cavities 1 simultaneously and evenly, thereby ensuring that the cavity of the entire mold can be quickly and evenly filled. This design not only improves the flow efficiency of the molten iron, but also effectively avoids the problems of hollowing and large bubbles caused by premature cooling of the molten iron, and significantly improves the success rate of pouring. The end of each branch channel 3 away from the pouring head 2 is located between the two fan wheel cavities 1. This design makes each fan wheel cavity 1 have two liquid inlet points. Through this design, it can be further ensured that the molten iron can be evenly distributed in each fan wheel cavity 1, improving the uniformity and stability of pouring.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, each branch channel 3 is provided with an exhaust hole 31, and the arrangement of these exhaust holes 31 can effectively exhaust the gas in the fan wheel cavity 1 during the pouring process to prevent them from forming bubbles inside the casting, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the casting. At the same time, the arrangement of the exhaust holes 31 also helps to reduce the air pressure fluctuation during the pouring process, making the entire pouring process more stable and controllable.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each fan wheel cavity 1 is circumferentially provided with a first chill 4 connected to the mold. The first chill 4 is attached to the protrusion on the side of the fan wheel cavity 1 to cool the hot iron in the fan wheel cavity 1. Since the circumferential side of the fan wheel is thicker, the first chill 4 can increase the cooling speed of the thicker position of the fan wheel, allowing it to form quickly, thereby increasing the casting speed of the fan wheel.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first chill 4 is provided in multiple pieces, and the multiple pieces of first chill 4 together partially surround the fan wheel cavity 1. On the one hand, in order to avoid interference with the branch channel 3, the first chill 4 is provided in multiple pieces, and the multiple pieces of first chill 4 together partially surround the fan wheel cavity 1. On the other hand, the annular chill is not convenient to process.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, both sides of each first chill 4 are provided with clamping blocks 5 fixedly connected to the mold, and the clamping blocks 5 are arranged along the length direction of the first chill 4. The two clamping blocks 5 clamp the first chill 4. Since there are multiple first chills 4 and due to the interference of the position of the branch channel 3, the distance between some of the first chills 4 is closer, and the distance between other parts of the first chills 4 is farther. The same clamping block 5 can be used between the first chills 4 that are close and adjacent to each other to shorten the distance between the two first chills 4 and increase the cooling area of the fan wheel.
[0036] The clamping block 5 enables the first cold iron 4 to maintain a stable position and state during use, and will not move or fall off due to vibration or other factors, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling effect. In addition, in order to lower the temperature of the first cold iron 4, the first cold iron 4 needs to be replaced. The design of clamping the first cold iron 4 facilitates the replacement of the first cold iron 4.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a second chiller 6 connected to the mold is also provided at the bottom center of the fan wheel cavity 1. Since the bottom center of the fan wheel is thicker, the second chiller 6 mainly cools the bottom center area of the fan wheel cavity 1 to ensure that this area can achieve the same cooling effect as other areas. Through this design, the temperature gradient inside the fan wheel casting can be further eliminated, the internal stress and deformation problems caused by temperature differences can be reduced, and the overall quality and performance of the fan wheel casting can be finally improved.
[0038] The implementation principle of a fan wheel casting mold in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: molten iron first enters the mold through the pouring head 2, and then is evenly distributed to four branch channels 3. Since the branch channels 3 have the same length and are evenly arranged along the circumference of the pouring head 2, the molten iron can flow into the four fan wheel cavities 1 at the same time and evenly, thereby ensuring that the cavity of the entire mold can be quickly and evenly filled, and the first cold iron 4 and the second cold iron 6 quickly cool down the thicker position of the fan wheel to ensure that this area can achieve the same cooling effect as other areas.
[0039] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
