[0002] The engine exhaust pipe is connected to the cylinder, which collects the exhaust gas of each cylinder and guides it into the exhaust manifold. It is a pipe with branches. The function of the engine exhaust pipe is to minimize the exhaust resistance and avoid mutual interference between cylinders. With the development of automotive technology, it is required that the engine exhaust pipe has good high-temperature oxidation resistance, stable microstructure, small coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent high-temperature strength, good process performance and low cost; for this purpose, a casting device for an engine exhaust pipe is proposed for casting the engine exhaust pipe.

The demoulding device is connected to the pressing plate through a connecting rod. After the mold casting is completed and cooled, the telescopic rod drives the pressing plate to shrink upward, so that the pressing plate drives the demoulding device through the connecting rod, and the model automatically detaches from the mold; an air vent groove is provided. After the casting is completed, a large amount of gas will be generated during the cooling process of the model. If the gas is not discharged, a large number of protrusions will appear on the model after cooling. The setting of the air vent groove allows the gas to flow out through the air vent groove, ensuring the quality of the model; a cooling device and cooling pipes are provided. The cooling pipes pass through the pressing plate and the placing table and are evenly arranged in the pressing plate and the placing table, so that the device can quickly cool the mold after casting, and the coolant can be kept at a low temperature all the time and will not increase the temperature due to the high temperature of the model.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art in the field of exhaust pipe casting of the present utility model without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the present utility model provides a casting device for an engine exhaust pipe, including a base 1 fixed on an operating table. An upper mold 4 is movably arranged at the upper end of the base 1. Two moving rods 7 are fixedly arranged at the upper end of the upper mold 4, and the upper ends of the moving rods 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the punching head of a punching machine. A heat exchange tube 8 is fixedly arranged inside the base 1. One end of the heat exchange tube 8 is fixedly provided with a liquid inlet pipe 5, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 8 is fixedly provided with a liquid discharge pipe 6. The liquid inlet pipe 5 and the liquid discharge pipe 6 are respectively connected to the output end and the input end of a liquid cooling device;

[0029] In addition, it is worth noting that the liquid cooling device of the present utility model is a water-cooled water chiller, which is used to extract the coolant in the liquid discharge pipe 6 and cool it. The cooled coolant can flow into the heat exchange tube 8 from the liquid inlet pipe 5 to achieve the effect of circulating cooling. Among them, the heat exchange tube 8 can conduct heat to cool the cooling tank 21. The structures of the liquid cooling device all belong to mature prior arts, so they will not be further described in the present utility model.

[0030] In order to reduce the waiting cooling time and improve the production efficiency, a mold disassembly device 2 for transferring the cast engine exhaust pipe is arranged at the upper end of the base 1, which is used to transfer the cast engine exhaust pipe and prepare for the next casting;

[0031] As Figure 4 shown, the mold disassembly device 2 includes a cooling tank 21 opened at the upper end of the base 1. Limiting grooves 22 are opened on both sides of the cooling tank 21. A lower mold 23 is movably arranged inside the cooling tank 21. Heat insulation support plates 24 are respectively fixedly arranged on both sides of the lower mold 23. The heat insulation support plates 24 are located inside the limiting grooves 22, and the outermost ends of the heat insulation support plates 24 protrude from the limiting grooves 22. By placing the lower mold 23 into the cooling tank 21, the cooling tank 21 cools and lowers the temperature of the lower mold 23, so as to cool and solidify the engine exhaust pipe at the upper end of the lower mold 23. After solidification, the upper mold 4 is lifted by the moving rod 7, and the heat insulation support plate 24 is dragged to separate the lower mold from the cooling tank 21, so that the next lower mold 23 can be replaced for casting again, which can improve the working efficiency, reduce the cooling waiting time, improve the production efficiency, and does not require waiting for the engine exhaust pipe to cool completely.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to reduce product damage and avoid the problem of missing corners of the engine exhaust pipe, a porous injection device 3 for injecting molten liquid is arranged at the upper end of the upper mold 4, which is used to inject molten liquid from multiple different positions;

[0033] As Figure 5 and 6As shown in the figure, the porous injection device 3 includes a plurality of injection holes 31, which are respectively opened on the inner side of the upper mold 4. The upper ends of the injection holes 31 are communicated with injection pipes 32, and the lower ends of the injection pipes 32 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper mold 4. The upper ends of the plurality of injection pipes 32 are communicated with the same diverter 33. A connecting pipe 34 is fixedly provided at the input end of the diverter 33, and a heat-resistant hose 35 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the connecting pipe 34. The upper end of the heat-resistant hose 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the solution output device. Since a plurality of injection holes 31 are opened in the upper mold 4, the molten liquid can be injected at different positions. After the material is melted by the melting device, it is discharged into the heat-resistant hose 35 and the connecting pipe 34, and the molten liquid is diverted into the injection pipes 32 by the diverter 33, so as to inject the molten liquid between the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 23, reducing the damage of the product as a whole and avoiding the problem of the lack of corners of the engine exhaust pipe.

[0034] The working principle is as follows: When the present invention is in use, the upper mold 4 is pressed down by the punching machine driving the moving rod 7. The melting device melts the material and injects the molten liquid at different positions through the porous injection device 3, and then the cooling liquid flowing in the heat exchange pipe 8 cools it. Since the liquid inlet pipe 5 and the liquid discharge pipe 6 are respectively connected to the output end and the input end of the liquid cooling device, the effect of cooling the cooling tank 21 can be achieved. After the engine exhaust pipe is cast and formed, the lower mold 23 and the engine exhaust pipe can be transferred by the mold disassembly device 2, so that a new lower mold 23 can be quickly placed in the cooling tank 21 for the next casting. As a whole, the production efficiency of the present invention can be improved, and the qualification rate of the manufactured engine exhaust pipe is also improved, avoiding the problem of the lack of corners due to the solidification of the molten liquid during the casting process.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
