The heating pipe 10 can be wrapped around the outside of the mold. The support platform position of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 7 through a bearing 13. A first driving mechanism 9 for driving the rotation of the rotating seat 7 is installed on the support frame 3. A plurality of placement racks 8 for placing molds are evenly arranged on the rotating seat 7. A top-out mechanism 5 is installed inside the placement rack 8. And a second driving mechanism 4 is installed on the base of the frame 1 corresponding to the position of the top-out mechanism 5. A PLC controller 2 is installed on the side of the support frame 3. The PLC controller 2 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The heating pipe 10 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2.

[0019] The first driving mechanism 9 includes a connecting shaft 91, a coupling 92 and a stepping motor 93. The stepping motor 93 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 3. The connecting shaft 91 is fixed to the output shaft of the stepping motor 93 through the coupling 92. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 91 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the rotating seat 7. The stepping motor 93 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. Place the forming mold in the placement rack 8. The bottom of the forming mold is supported by a top plate 51. Then, the output shaft of the stepping motor 93 drives the connecting shaft 91 to rotate through the coupling 92. The connecting shaft 91 drives the rotating seat 7 to rotate, so as to move the forming mold to directly below the discharge hopper 12. The feed inlet of the mold is communicated with the discharge outlet of the discharge hopper 12. The processed aluminum matrix composite material enters the mold through the discharge hopper 12. After pouring is completed, the mold returns to its original position, and the poured mold is moved to the next station under the drive of the rotating seat 7, such as moving the poured mold to the cooling position, so as to accelerate the forming of the product.

[0020] The top-out mechanism 5 includes a top plate 51 and a top rod 52. The top plate 51 is movably arranged inside the cavity of the placement rack 8. The top rod 52 is fixed to the bottom of the top plate 51. It also includes a stabilizing seat 6. The stabilizing seat 6 is fixed to the bottom of the placement rack 8. The stabilizing seat 6 is slidably connected to the top rod 52 relatively.

[0021] The second driving mechanism 4 includes an electric push rod 41, a support base 42, and a positioning groove 43. The electric push rod 41 is installed on the base of the frame 1. The support base 42 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 41. The positioning groove 43 is formed on the support base 42 and is in interference fit with the ejector rod 52. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 drives the support base 42 to move up and down. At this time, the bottom end of the ejector rod 52 is inserted into the positioning groove 43 on the support base 42. Then, the ejector rod 52 drives the top plate 51 to move up and down, so as to jack the forming die against the lower part of the support frame 3. At this time, the heating pipe 10 is wrapped around the outside of the die. It is convenient to fix. After pouring is completed, the forming die can be withdrawn from the position of the heating pipe 10. It is not necessary for workers to use external tools to take the forming die in and out of the die slot, which saves time and effort, thus improving the production efficiency.

[0022] It further includes a protective shell 11. The protective shell 11 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 3. The protective shell 11 is sleeved on the outside of the heating pipe 10. The protective shell 11 is used to prevent the high temperature generated by the heating pipe 10 from harming the staff.

[0023] The working principle of the forming device for producing high-performance aluminum matrix composites provided by the present utility model is as follows: Place the forming die in the placement rack 8. The bottom of the forming die is supported by the top plate 51. Then, the output shaft of the stepping motor 93 drives the connecting shaft 91 to rotate through the coupling 92. The connecting shaft 91 drives the rotating seat 7 to rotate, so as to move the forming die to directly below the discharge hopper 12. Then, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 41 drives the support base 42 to move up and down. At this time, the bottom end of the ejector rod 52 is inserted into the positioning groove 43 on the support base 42. Then, the ejector rod 52 drives the top plate 51 to move up and down, so as to jack the forming die against the lower part of the support frame 3. At this time, the heating pipe 10 is wrapped around the outside of the die. The feeding port of the die is communicated with the discharging port of the discharge hopper 12. The processed aluminum matrix composite material raw materials enter the die through the discharge hopper 12. After pouring is completed, the die returns to its original position, and the poured die is moved to the next working station under the drive of the rotating seat 7, such as moving the poured die to the cooling position, so as to accelerate the forming of the product.
