Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy vehicle casting, in particular to a casting mold for an inverter housing of a new energy vehicle with optimized exhaust. Background Art
[0002] A new energy vehicle is a vehicle that uses a storage battery as an energy storage power source. It uses the storage battery as an energy storage power source, provides electrical energy from the battery to the motor, drives the motor to operate, and thus propels the vehicle to travel. As a core component on a new energy vehicle, the inverter installed on the new energy vehicle is a device that can convert the direct current stored in the storage battery into alternating current through an inverter circuit and provide it for the motor to use for driving the vehicle to travel.
[0003] A sand core is a material used to manufacture a core in casting production, generally composed of molding materials such as foundry sand, resin, curing agent, and additives mixed in a certain proportion. During the casting production process, the binder and organic matter in the sand core will burn and release gases, and the residual moisture in the sand core will evaporate when heated. If these gases cannot be discharged in time, it will cause pores in the casting and result in the scrapping of the casting. During the existing casting production process of the inverter housing, a sand core also needs to be set on the inner side of the housing, and the sand core is a solid structure and cannot be emptied. The sand core is completely wrapped in the lower mold by the casting, and it is relatively difficult for the sand core to exhaust. The traditional exhaust structure cannot solve the problem of large gas evolution of the sand core, resulting in defects such as air entrapment and insufficient pouring during the production process of the casting, affecting the production quality of the inverter housing. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a casting mold for an inverter housing of a new energy vehicle with optimized exhaust in view of the defects of the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A casting mold for an inverter housing of a new energy vehicle with optimized exhaust, including an upper mold, a lower mold, and a sand core, characterized in that: it further includes a suction copper pipe. The upper mold and the lower mold are connected up and down to each other. The sand core is arranged inside the lower mold. One end of the suction copper pipe is arranged inside the sand core, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the lower mold for connecting a vacuum pump.
[0007] Further, a sand core depression is arranged at the bottom of the sand core. The sand core depression is an area sunken into the sand core, and the inner end of the suction copper pipe is arranged in the sand core depression.
[0008] Further, the inner end of the suction copper pipe is connected to the sand core depression through a fixing block.
[0009] Further, a wire groove is provided on the bottom surface of the lower mold, and the suction copper tube extends from the inside of the core along the wire groove to the outer edge of the lower mold.
[0010] Further, a core-pulling device is provided on the side surface of the lower mold.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: 1. By arranging a suction copper tube inside the lower mold and connecting the inside of the core and outside the mold respectively, it replaces the form that the core exhaust can only be dissipated passively in the prior art, greatly improving the exhaust effect and effectively reducing the ratio of casting rejection caused by defects such as air entrapment and insufficient pouring. 2. A core recessed area that is recessed inward is provided on the core, which can effectively collect the gas generated inside the core in this area and improve the exhaust efficiency of the suction copper tube.
