Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of casting cooling for automobile fork arms, and specifically relates to an air-cooling tooling for the solidification of automobile fork arm casting. Background Technique
[0002] Automobile fork arm casting refers to the process of using casting technology to produce fork arm components of an automobile chassis. Casting is a metal forming method in which molten metal is poured into a pre-made mold and cooled and solidified to form the required part shape. In the automotive industry, casting technology is widely used in the production of heavy metal components such as engine blocks, transmission housings, vehicle frames, and suspension system components.
[0003] During the casting process of automobile fork arms, it is necessary to cool the mold to accelerate the solidification process of the metal, ensure the quality of the casting, and improve production efficiency. A cooling medium (such as air or water) is delivered to the key parts of the mold to take away heat and promote the rapid cooling and solidification of the casting.
[0004] When the existing air-cooling tooling is in use, it can only extract air to disperse the heat energy dissipated on the mold, but the temperature inside the mold cannot be reduced, resulting in too long cooling time and poor cooling effect. Therefore, an air-cooling tooling for the solidification of automobile fork arm casting is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation mode
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention provides an air cooling tooling for the casting solidification of an automotive fork arm, including a positioning frame 1. A limiting frame 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the positioning frame 1. Sliding grooves are opened on both sides inside the limiting frame 2. A mold 3 is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. Guide plates 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mold 3. The guide plates 4 slide inside the sliding grooves. The size of the sliding grooves is adapted to the size of the guide plates 4. A plurality of arc grooves are opened on the surface of the guide plates 4. A water cooling component 5 is fixedly installed inside the arc grooves. An air cooling component 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the mold 3.
[0023] When cooling the casting in the mold 3, the operator introduces water into the inside of the lead pipe 52. The water flow adsorbs the heat energy inside the mold 3, and a radiator fan 62 and an air duct 64 are arranged on the surface of the mold 3 to blow away the heat energy dissipated on the surface of the mold 3, cooling from both the inside and the outside simultaneously, improving the cooling efficiency of the casting in the mold 3.
[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the water cooling component 5 includes a guide pipe 51 fixedly installed inside the arc groove. Lead pipes 52 are fixedly installed at both ends of the guide pipe 51. A water inlet pipe 53 is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the lead pipe 52. Limiting pipes 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the positioning frame 1. The size of the limiting pipes 7 is adapted to the size of the water inlet pipe 53. A circulation cavity is formed inside the guide pipe 51 and the lead pipes 52, and the water flow circulates inside the guide pipe 51 and the lead pipes 52.
[0025] During use, the operator injects water into the inside of the limiting pipe 7. After the injection, the water flow will enter the inside of the guide pipe 51 through the lead pipe 52. The water flow circulates inside the guide pipe 51 and the lead pipes 52. After the water is heated, the water inlet pipe 53 is opened to discharge the hot water, and new water is added to adsorb the heat energy inside the mold 3 again.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the air-cooling assembly 6 includes a positioning plate 61 fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the mold 3. Embedding grooves are formed on both sides of the surface of the positioning plate 61. A heat dissipation fan 62 is embedded in the embedding grooves. A gathering frame 63 is fixedly installed on the back of the positioning plate 61. Two air ducts 64 are fixedly installed at one end of the gathering frame 63. The gathering frame 63 is conical, and the flow rate of the gas is accelerated at the conical end of the gathering frame 63.
[0027] During use, the operator installs the heat dissipation fan 62 through the positioning plate 61. After installation, the heat dissipation fan 62 is turned on. The turned-on heat dissipation fan 62 sucks air into the interior of the gathering frame 63. The air entering the gathering frame 63 blows towards the surface of the mold 3 through the air ducts 64, and the heat energy dissipated from the surface of the mold 3 is dissipated.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: The mold 3 is positioned inside the limit frame 2 through the guiding plates 4 on both sides. Subsequently, the operator injects water into the interior of the limit tube 7. After the water injection, the water flow will enter the interior of the guiding tube 51 through the lead guiding tube 52. The water flow circulates inside the guiding tube 51 and the lead guiding tube 52. After the water is heated, the water inlet pipe 53 is opened to discharge the hot water, and new water is added to adsorb the heat energy inside the mold 3 again. While water-cooling, the heat dissipation fan 62 is turned on. The turned-on heat dissipation fan 62 sucks air into the interior of the gathering frame 63. The air entering the gathering frame 63 blows towards the surface of the mold 3 through the air ducts 64, and the heat energy dissipated from the surface of the mold 3 is dissipated.
