The return pins 9 are located on one side of the molding insert pin 4 and away from the product cavity 3. The top end of the return pin 9 is fixedly arranged in the insert pin mounting plate 7. The bottom end of the return pin 9 is movably inserted into the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame; and when the telescopic spring 8 is in an extended state, the bottom end of the return pin 9 extends out of the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1 and the extension length of the return pin is equal to the maximum travel distance of the telescopic spring (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the telescopic spring 8 is in the contracted state, the bottom surface of the return pin 9 is flush with the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1 (see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 as shown).

[0030] In the present invention, the number and distribution of the molding pins 4 can be adjusted according to the product to be molded. In this embodiment, two molding pins 4 are used as an example, but the number is not limited to two.

[0031] Please combine again Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a top plate embedding groove 1-1 adapted to the top plate 5 is provided in the front mold frame 1, the top plate 5 is fixedly installed in the top plate embedding groove 1-1, a mounting groove 1-2 connected to the top plate embedding groove 1-1 is provided below the top plate embedding groove 1-1, and the spring mounting plate 6 and the pin mounting plate 7 are movably installed in the mounting groove 1-2. Top plate fixing holes 1-3 are provided around the top of the mounting groove 1-2, and pin insertion holes 1-4 and return pin holes 1-5 are provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1-2 (see Figure 6 As shown); place the top plate 5 into the top plate embedding groove 1-1, and pass the screws through the top plate to the top plate fixing hole 1-3 to achieve fixed installation of the top plate 5.

[0032] A preferred solution is that the height dimension of the mounting groove 1-2 is adapted to the sum of the height dimensions of the spring mounting plate 6 and the needle mounting plate 7 and the maximum travel distance of the telescopic spring 8, so as to ensure that the spring mounting plate 6 and the needle mounting plate 7 have adapted moving space under the action of the telescopic spring 8.

[0033] In the present invention, the top plate 5 is connected to the spring mounting plate 6 by at least two telescopic springs 8. In this embodiment, four telescopic springs 8 are symmetrically arranged in front and back and left and right as an example (see Figure 5 As shown), this design can effectively ensure that the spring mounting plate 6 and the needle mounting plate 7 can move up and down stably, and thus can effectively ensure that the return needle 9 and the forming needle 4 can move up and down stably.

[0034] In addition, spring mounting grooves adapted to the telescopic springs 8 are provided at the bottom of the top plate 5 and the top of the spring mounting plate 6 (see Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the position of the telescopic spring 8 is the position of the spring installation slot), and the two ends of the telescopic spring 8 are respectively installed in the spring installation slots at the corresponding positions. The telescopic spring 8 is installed and limited by the spring installation slot, which can effectively ensure that the telescopic spring 8 can stably perform linear telescopic movement.

[0035] In the utility model, at least two return pins 9 are symmetrically arranged in the pin mounting plate 7, wherein the bottom ends of one part of the return pins 9 are movably inserted into the front mold core 2, and the bottom ends of the other part of the return pins 9 are movably inserted into the front mold frame 1. In this way, the return pins 9 can be evenly distributed in the entire front mold, and can move up and down relative to the front mold core 2 and the front mold frame 1 at the same time, thereby effectively ensuring that the return pins 9 can move up and down stably, and further ensuring that the molding pins 4 can move up and down stably.

[0036] Please see again Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, four return pins 9 are symmetrically arranged in the front and back and left and right directions in the pin mounting plate 7, wherein the bottom ends of two return pins 9 are movably inserted into the front mold core 2, and the bottom ends of the other two return pins 9 are movably inserted into the front mold frame 1.

[0037] The working principle of the front mold for magnesium alloy die casting described in the utility model is as follows:

[0038] Because when the telescopic spring 8 is in the extended state, the bottom end of the return pin 9 extends out of the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1 and the extended length of the return pin is equal to the maximum stroke distance of the telescopic spring 8; when the telescopic spring 8 is in the contracted state, the bottom surface of the return pin 9 is flush with the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1; therefore, when the magnesium alloy die-casting mold is produced, the bottom end of the return pin 9 extending out of the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1 will be pushed upward to be flush with the bottom surface of the front mold core 2 or the front mold frame 1, so that the telescopic spring 8 is in the contracted state, the spring mounting plate 6 and the pin mounting plate 7 are pushed to the highest position, and then the molding pin 4 is lifted up and leaves the product cavity 3 (please refer to Figure 8 As shown), the gas in the product cavity 3 can be discharged smoothly, thereby effectively avoiding the shrinkage problem of the die-cast product caused by poor exhaust. After the mold is opened, the bottom end of the return pin 9 is freely released, so that the telescopic spring 8 is in an extended state, and the spring mounting plate 6 and the needle mounting plate 7 are pushed to the lowest position by the telescopic spring 8, so that the molding needle 4 moves down into the product cavity 3 (please refer to Figure 3 As shown), it plays the role of clearing the pin hole and can effectively prevent the accumulation of water-based release agent to block the pin hole.

[0039] From the above, it can be seen that the front mold provided by the utility model can not only effectively avoid the shrinkage problem of magnesium alloy die-casting products caused by poor exhaust, but also ensure the molding quality of magnesium alloy die-casting products; it can also effectively prevent the accumulation of water-based mold release agent to block the pin holes, without the need for off-machine cleaning, and can improve the production efficiency of magnesium alloy die-casting and reduce labor intensity; therefore, compared with the prior art, the utility model has obvious practical value and progress.

[0040] Finally, it is necessary to point out that the above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
