Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting, in particular to a casting mold shell. Background Art
[0002] The application of directional blades in aeroengines is becoming more and more extensive, and among them, the crowned thin-walled blade is the future development trend.
[0003] In the process of producing crowned thin-walled blades, it is necessary to first fix the bottom of the blade wax mold on the chassis of the mold, and then press the top of the blade wax mold against the transverse runner of the mold. However, the existing transverse runner is an annular runner in the shape of a circle, and the bottom surface is arc-shaped, which results in a small contact area between the blade wax mold and the runner. In order to fix the blade wax mold firmly, it is often designed that the distance from the transverse runner to the chassis is slightly less than the height of the blade wax mold, and the blade wax mold is pushed hard to the lowest part of the annular runner. This will cause the wax mold to be easily deformed, resulting in the deformation of the final product. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of this part is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the utility model and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this part, as well as in the abstract and the title of the specification of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract, and the title of the utility model. However, such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present utility model is proposed.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A mold assembling runner for preventing deformation of thin-walled blades, comprising a transverse runner, wherein the transverse runner is composed of at least four sub-runners in an arc shape, and the sub-runners are arranged at equal intervals in a circular ring shape, and a gap is provided between two adjacent sub-runners;
[0008] The outer contour of the cross-section of the sub-runner is in a quadrilateral shape, and the lower surface of the sub-runner is in the horizontal direction.
[0009] With the above design, by dividing the transverse runner into four arc-shaped sub-runners, it is avoided that too many blade wax molds are connected to one runner. The distance from the transverse runner to the chassis does not need to be less than the height of the blade wax mold, so that the blade wax mold does not need to be pushed hard during wax mold assembly, preventing the wax mold from deforming and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the product. Secondly, the outer contour of the cross-section of the sub-runner is in a quadrilateral shape, and the square structure can better bear the transverse force and shear force, and the structure is not easily bent under force, improving the stability of the wax mold and reducing the situation of the wax mold being deformed by impact during movement, thereby reducing the possibility of the size deformation of the blade wax mold.
[0010] Preferably, it further includes a gate structure, which is located at the center of the transverse runner, and each of the sub-runners is connected to the gate structure through a sprue; the gate structure is located at the center of the transverse runner, so that when the assembled wax mold is poured, the molten metal can uniformly flow into the transverse runner from the gate structure.
[0011] Preferably, the sprue has a square structure; the square sprue has good bending and compressive resistance and is not easily deformed, ensuring the stability of the transverse runner connected to the sprue.
[0012] Preferably, the central axis of the sprue forms an angle of 15-30° with the plane where the transverse runner is located; this improves the bearing capacity of the connecting end of the sprue and also facilitates the flow of the liquid metal in the flow channel formed by the sprue.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the sprue is smaller closer to the sub-runner; this facilitates the flow of the molten metal from the sprue into the transverse runner.
[0014] Preferably, the upper part of the gate structure is in the shape of a flared opening, and the diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom; through the flared gate structure, a flared gate is formed after the wax mold is dewaxed, which is convenient for subsequent casting and molding.
[0015] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided between the gate structure and the sprue. One end of the limiting rod is connected to the upper part of the gate structure in the shape of a flared opening, and the other end of the limiting rod is connected to the part of the sprue close to the sub-runner; the limiting rod and the sprue and the gate structure form a triangular structure, which can increase the stability of the sprue, and further improve the stability of the sub-runner, thereby ensuring that the blade wax mold will not be deformed.
[0016] Preferably, the limiting rod is composed of two sub-rods in an inverted "L" shape, namely the first sub-rod and the second sub-rod. The first sub-rod and the second sub-rod are both composed of a first part in the vertical direction and a second part forming an angle with the first part; the angle between the first part and the second part of the first sub-rod is greater than the angle between the first part and the second part of the second sub-rod; the end of the second part of the first sub-rod is fixedly connected to the gate structure, and the end of the first part of the first sub-rod is located above the sprue and has a gap with the sprue; the end of the second part of the second sub-rod is fixedly connected to the first part of the first sub-rod, and the end of the first part of the second sub-rod is fixedly connected to the sprue and close to the sub-runner; the limiting rod is formed by the connection of the first sub-rod and the second sub-rod, ensuring that the limiting rod will not be easily pulled and deformed, and improving the stability effect of the limiting rod.
[0017] Preferably, the cross-sections of the first sub-bar and the second sub-bar are circular; the overall shapes of the first sub-bar and the second sub-bar with circular cross-sections are uniform and highly isotropic, which can effectively reduce stress concentration.
[0018] Preferably, 3-5 blade wax patterns are abutted under any one of the sub-gates, and the blade wax patterns are arranged at equal intervals; it is ensured that there are not too many blade wax patterns under the sub-gates, which is convenient for the docking of the blade wax patterns and the sub-gates.

[0027] Next, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to specific features, structures, or characteristics that may be included in less than one implementation manner of the present utility model. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is separate or selectively mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a gating system for preventing deformation of thin-walled blades, comprising a transverse runner 1.
[0030] The transverse runner 1 is composed of at least four arc-shaped sub-runners 11, and the sub-runners 11 are arranged at equal intervals in a circular ring shape, and there is a gap between two adjacent sub-runners 11; the outer contour of the cross-section of the sub-runner 11 is quadrilateral, and the lower surface of the sub-runner 11 is in the horizontal direction; by dividing the transverse runner 1 into four arc-shaped sub-runners 11, it is avoided that too many blade wax patterns 5 are connected to one runner, and the distance from the transverse runner 1 to the chassis does not need to be less than the height of the blade wax pattern 5, so that the blade wax pattern 5 does not need to be pushed hard during wax pattern assembly, preventing the wax pattern from deforming, ensuring the product size accuracy. Secondly, the outer contour of the cross-section of the sub-runner 11 is quadrilateral, and the square structure can better bear the transverse force and shear force, and the structure is not easily bent under force, improving the stability of the wax pattern and reducing the possibility of the wax pattern being deformed by impact during movement, thereby reducing the possibility of size deformation of the blade wax pattern 5.
[0031] It further includes a gate structure 2, and the gate structure 2 is located at the center of the transverse runner 1, and each sub-runner 11 is connected to the gate structure 2 through a sprue 3; the gate structure 2 is located at the center of the transverse runner 1, so that when the assembled wax pattern is poured, the molten metal can uniformly flow into the transverse runner 1 from the gate structure 2.
[0032] There are 3 - 5 blade wax patterns 5 abutted against the lower part of any one sub-runner 11, and the blade wax patterns 5 are arranged at equal intervals; ensuring that there are not too many blade wax patterns 5 under the sub-runner 11, which is convenient for the docking of the blade wax pattern 5 and the sub-runner 11.
[0033] There are 3 blade wax patterns 5 abutted against the lower part of the same sub-runner 11.
[0034] The sub-gate 11 is provided with guiding tracks at the location of the blade wax mold 5. Each guiding track is composed of two strip-shaped protrusions. The distance between the two strip-shaped protrusions is smaller closer to the center of the transverse gate 1; two strip-shaped protrusions are arranged on the sub-gate 11 to improve the stability of each sub-gate 11.
[0035] During use, when assembling the wax mold, first bond the main body of the wax mold to the bottom plate of the wax mold with liquid-sealing wax. Then, after fixing all 18 blade wax molds 5 around the wax mold on a wax chassis with liquid-sealing wax, bond one sub-gate 11 to every three blade wax molds 5, and then bond the sub-gate 11 to the wax mold. The upper and lower surfaces of the sub-gate 11 are both flat. In this way, the area of the sub-gate 11 is increased. When lapping with the upper end of the blade wax mold 5, there is no need to move the blade wax mold 5, and the blade wax mold 5 does not need to be stressed, making the assembly of the wax mold convenient and fast. The square structure of the sub-gate 11 can better bear the transverse force and shear force, and the structure is not easily bent when stressed, improving the stability of the wax mold and reducing the situation of impact deformation of the wax mold during movement.

[0039] The central axis of the sprue 3 forms an angle of 15 - 30° with the plane where the transverse gate 1 is located; it improves the bearing capacity of the connection end of the sprue 3 and also facilitates the flow of liquid metal in the flow channel formed by the sprue 3.
[0040] The cross-sectional area of the sprue 3 is smaller closer to the sub-gate 11; it is convenient for the molten metal to flow from the sprue 3 into the transverse gate 1.
[0041] The upper part of the gate structure 2 is in the shape of a flared mouth, and the diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom; through the flared gate structure 2, a flared gate is formed after the wax mold is dewaxed, which is convenient for subsequent casting.
[0042] A limiting rod 4 is provided between the gate structure 2 and the sprue 3. One end of the limiting rod 4 is connected to the upper part of the gate structure 2 in the shape of a flared mouth, and the other end of the limiting rod 4 is connected to the part of the sprue 3 close to the sub-gate 11; the limiting rod 4 and the sprue 3 and the gate structure 2 form a triangular structure, which can increase the stability of the sprue 3, thereby improving the stability of the sub-gate 11, and ensuring that the blade wax mold 5 will not be deformed.
[0043] The limiting rod 4 is composed of two sub-rods in an inverted "L" shape, namely the first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42. Both the first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42 are composed of a first part in the vertical direction and a second part at an angle to the first part; the angle between the first part and the second part of the first sub-rod 41 is greater than the angle between the first part and the second part of the second sub-rod 42; the end of the second part of the first sub-rod 41 is fixedly connected to the gate structure 2, and the end of the first part of the first sub-rod 41 is located above the sprue 3 and has a gap with the sprue 3; the end of the second part of the second sub-rod 42 is fixedly connected to the first part of the first sub-rod 41, and the end of the first part of the second sub-rod 42 is fixedly connected to the sprue 3 and is close to the sub-gate 11; the limiting rod 4 is formed by the connection of the first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42, ensuring that the limiting rod 4 will not be easily pulled and deformed, and improving the stability effect of the limiting rod 4.
[0044] The cross-sections of the first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42 are circular; the overall shapes of the circular first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42 are uniform and have strong isotropy, which can effectively reduce stress concentration.
[0045] During use, when assembling the wax mold, first assemble the gate structure 2 on the chassis, then evenly arrange the blade molds around the gate structure 2, then assemble the sub-gate 11, and then connect one end of the sprue 3 around the gate structure 2 and the other end to the sub-gate 11. The central axis of the sprue 3 has an angle of 15° - 30° with the upper and lower planes of the sub-gate 11.

Finally, connect one end of the limiting rod 4 around the horn of the gate structure 2 and the other end to the sprue 3. The connection of the first sub-rod 41 and the second sub-rod 42 forms the limiting rod 4, ensuring that the limiting rod 4 will not be easily pulled and deformed, improving the stability effect of the limiting rod 4, increasing the bearing capacity of the end of the sprue 3 connected to the sub-gate 11, reducing the stress on the blade wax mold 5, and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the final product.
