Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molds, in particular to a novel annular casting mold. Background Art

[0002] When die-casting common circular ring castings, slag pockets are usually arranged in a circle around the outer periphery of the annular cavity of the mold to ensure the forming of the whole circle and the internal quality. However, due to the manufacturing precision (tolerance) of the mold and the wear during the use of the mold, local flash will be generated on the parting surface, and the flash sticking to the mold surface will cause the local flash to be thick, ultimately affecting the local wall thickness of the product (that is, the thickness of the part edge affected by the flash thickness);

[0003] Moreover, during the cooling process of the casting, if the cooling water circuit is not reasonably designed, it will directly affect the temperature balance of the mold, resulting in unevenness of the mold surface due to local temperature differences, and also causing the generation of flash. The flash will affect the quality of the casting and require precision machining in the subsequent process to ensure the product quality. Especially for the manufacturing of high-precision castings such as intelligent robots, the impact is more obvious.

[0004] Therefore, to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a novel annular casting mold. By reasonably setting the water cooling circuit and the exhaust block, the flash and burr of the casting can be effectively controlled, the casting precision can be improved, and the casting quality can be ensured.

[0009] Preferably, the outer peripheral water cooling circuit is rectangular, and the center of the outer peripheral water cooling circuit coincides with the center of the annular cavity; the side length of the outer peripheral cold water circuit is 70% - 90% of the diameter of the annular cavity.

The terms used herein in the specification of this utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0025] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, this utility model will be further described:

[0026] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, a new type of ring-shaped casting mold includes a mold body, and the mold body includes a moving mold 1 and a fixed mold 2. A ring-shaped cavity 10 is provided on the moving mold 1 and the fixed mold 2, and a peripheral water cooling circuit 3 is provided at a position where the moving mold 1 and / or the fixed mold 2 is close to the ring-shaped cavity.

[0027] It further includes an exhaust block 4 communicated with the ring-shaped cavity 10. The exhaust block 4 includes a moving mold exhaust block 41 and a fixed mold exhaust block 42 that can be detachably fitted to each other. The moving mold exhaust block 41 and the fixed mold exhaust block 42 are respectively fixed to the moving mold 1 and the fixed mold 2.

[0028] After the moving mold 1 and the fixed mold 2 are closed, a continuous exhaust passage 20 is formed by the gap between the moving mold exhaust block 41 and the fixed mold exhaust block 42, and the gap of the exhaust passage 20 gradually decreases from the feed port to the exhaust port.

[0029] In this embodiment, by providing a peripheral water cooling circuit 3 on the ring-shaped cavity 10, cooling pipes 30 are respectively provided at the water inlet and outlet of the peripheral water cooling circuit 3, and cooling water is introduced into the peripheral water cooling circuit 3 through the water cooling pipes to balance the overall temperature of the mold and avoid unevenness caused by local temperature difference on the mold surface, resulting in flash; at the same time, by providing an exhaust block 4 with an exhaust passage 20 having a gradually decreasing gap and a wavy shape, compared with the structure of the equal-spacing exhaust block 4 in the prior art, while ensuring the discharge of gas inside the mold and the discharge, pressure relief and cooling and solidification of aluminum liquid slag, exhaust blockage is effectively avoided; therefore, by reasonably setting the peripheral water cooling circuit 3 and the exhaust block 4, the flash and burr of the casting are effectively controlled, the casting accuracy is improved, and the casting quality is guaranteed.

[0030] Further, as Figure 1 shown, in order to improve the cooling effect, effectively control the temperature of the casting, and control the mold temperature in parallel; the peripheral water cooling circuit is rectangular, and the center of the peripheral water cooling circuit 3 coincides with the center of the annular cavity; the side length of the peripheral cold water circuit 3 is 70% - 90% of the diameter of the annular cavity.

[0031] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a central water cooling circuit 5 is provided near the gate of the fixed mold 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, cooling pipes 30 are respectively arranged at the water inlet and outlet of the central water cooling circuit 5, and cooling water is introduced into the peripheral water cooling circuit 3 through the water cooling pipes. Under the action of the central water cooling circuit 5 and the peripheral water cooling circuit 3, the mold temperature balance can be more effectively controlled, thereby avoiding unevenness caused by local temperature difference on the mold surface and resulting in flash generation.

[0033] Further, as Figure 2 shown, in order to ensure the stable formation of the exhaust passage 20 during each mold closing and guarantee the exhaust and slag discharging effects; a convex tooth 1a is provided on the moving mold exhaust block 41, and a concave tooth 2a meshing with the convex tooth 1a is provided on the fixed mold exhaust block 42. After the moving mold exhaust block 41 and the fixed mold exhaust block 42 are closed, the gap between the convex tooth 1a and the concave tooth 2a forms the exhaust passage 20.

[0034] Further, as Figure 2 shown, a plurality of the convex teeth 1a and the concave teeth 2a are provided and are all in the shape of rack-like structures. The rack includes several continuously connected concave and convex tooth-shaped structures, and the concave teeth 2a are correspondingly meshed with the convex teeth 1a.

[0035] In this embodiment, the above structure can prevent the molten aluminum from filling up all at once and blocking the entire exhaust passage 20, and improve the exhaust and slag discharging effects.

[0036] Further, as Figure 2 shown, in order to improve the exhaust and slag discharging effects and avoid exhaust blockage; the exhaust direction of the exhaust passage 20 is wavy.

[0037] Further, two or more exhaust blocks are provided.

[0038] Further, the inlet gap of the exhaust passage 20 is 2 - 5 mm, and the exhaust gap is 60 - 80% of the inlet gap.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gap between the convex tooth 1a and the concave tooth 2a near the feeding port is 2.68 mm, and the gap between the convex tooth 1a and the concave tooth 2a near the exhaust hole is 1.88 mm.

[0040] Working principle: After the casting equipment is installed on the mold, the mold is preheated with an open-flame torch. Through the mold-closing function of the equipment, the moving mold 2 and the fixed mold 2 can be closed, and the mold is in a ready-to-work state. At this time, the water-cooling pipe is already filled with cooling water to even out the overall temperature of the mold. The molten aluminum enters from the center into the runner and quickly fills when it reaches the blank position. Finally, the molten aluminum and slag are respectively concentrated at the position of the exhaust block 4, and the gas is discharged while the molten aluminum and slag solidify. Then, the water-cooling pipe continuously supplies cooling water, and the blank is filled and formed. The molten aluminum is depressurized and slag-discharged through the exhaust block 4, effectively controlling the flying materials and flash. Then, the mold is opened to take out the casting, and the manipulator takes out the casting and places it at a designated preset safe position. The whole mold completes one cycle of work and produces one casting.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, various corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
