A cylindrical lower mold is arranged below the upper mold. An axial hole for the top shaft to pass through is opened on one side of the lower mold facing the upper mold. A U-shaped ring is arranged between the upper mold and the top shaft. A protrusion is arranged on the side of the U-shaped ring facing the lower mold, and an arc-shaped groove is arranged on the side facing away from the lower mold. The axial hole of the lower mold is coaxial with the top shaft of the upper mold. A plurality of connecting holes are arranged through the circumference of the upper mold in a circular array. A plurality of connecting rods passing through the connecting holes are arranged in a circular array on the side of the upper mold facing the lower mold. A ball head is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, a threaded rod screwed into the lower mold is arranged at the lower end of each connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning hole is arranged in the lower mold, and a positioning shaft inserted into the positioning hole is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] 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 of the embodiments.

[0021] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0022] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, An automotive wheel casting mold, including an upper mold 1. The upper mold 1 is cylindrical. Axial shafts 3 are coaxially provided on both sides of the upper mold 1 and penetrate through it. A cylindrical lower mold 2 is provided below the upper mold 1. On one side of the lower mold 2 facing the upper mold 1, an axial hole 7 for the axial shaft 3 to pass through is opened. When the upper mold 1 passes through the lower mold 2 and the axial shaft 3 passes through the axial hole 7, the connection and installation of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are completed. One end of the axial shaft 3 passes through the axial hole 7, and the other end is located outside. A U-shaped ring 9 is provided between the upper mold 1 and the axial shaft 3. On one side of the U-shaped ring 9 facing the lower mold 2, there is a protrusion, and on the side facing away from the lower mold 2, there is an arc-shaped groove 11. The axial hole 7 of the lower mold 2 is coaxial with the axial shaft 3 of the upper mold 1. A plurality of connection holes 5 are circumferentially and arrayed through the upper mold 1. On one side of the upper mold 1 facing the lower mold 2, a plurality of connecting rods 4 passing through the connection holes 5 are annularly arrayed. When the upper mold 1 is fitted and installed with the lower mold 2, first place the upper mold 1 on the lower mold 2, and then the connecting rods 4 pass through the connection holes 5 to limit the upper mold 1, completing the fitting and installation. At the top of each connecting rod 5, a ball head 6 is fixedly connected. At the top of each connecting rod 4, a ball head 6 is fixedly connected. After the upper mold 1 is installed, it is limited by the ball head 6. By embedding the upper mold 1 into the lower mold 2, since the bottom surface of the U-shaped ring 9 is adapted to the top surface of the axial hole 7 of the lower mold 2, and since an arc-shaped groove 11 is opened on the side of the U-shaped ring 9 facing away from the lower mold 2, by setting the arc-shaped groove 11, the internal heat is effectively conducted, realizing an increase in the service life of the mold.

[0023] Refer to Figure 3 , At the lower end of each connecting rod 4, a threaded rod 12 screwed into the lower mold 2 is provided. The lower mold 2 is provided with a threaded hole. When disassembling the upper mold 1, it is disassembled by rotating the connecting rod 4. The threaded rod 12 at the bottom of the connecting rod 4 is screwed out of the threaded hole of the lower mold 2, and then the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are separated, which is convenient for replacing the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 and is also convenient for maintenance.

[0024] Refer to Figures 3 - 4 , A positioning hole 14 is provided in the lower mold 2. The positioning hole 14 communicates with and is coaxial with the threaded hole. A positioning shaft 13 inserted into the positioning hole 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 12. When installing the connecting rod 4 on the lower mold 2, first insert the positioning shaft 13 at the bottom of the threaded rod 12 at the lower end of the connecting rod 4 into the positioning hole 14 in the lower mold 2, which is convenient for more accurately and easily installing the threaded rod 12 into the lower mold 2. The length of the positioning shaft 13 is longer than that of the threaded rod 12, and the depth of the positioning hole 14 is longer than the length of the positioning shaft 13.

[0025] Refer to Figures 3 - 4 , On one side of the axial hole 7 close to the U-shaped ring 9, a concave arc chamfer 8 for the protrusion of the U-shaped ring 9 to pass through is provided. After the axial shaft 3 is inserted into the axial hole 7, the protrusion of the U-shaped ring 9 will pass through the inner arc chamfer of the axial hole 7, making it convenient for installation.

[0026] Refer to Figure 4, there is a convex arc chamfer 10 that supports the protrusion of the U-shaped ring 9 between the concave arc chamfer 8 and the shaft hole 7. The protrusion of the U-shaped ring 9 will pass through the shaft hole 7, causing the convex arc chamfer 10 to support the U-shaped ring 9, and there is a gap between the U-shaped ring 9 and the shaft hole 7 to facilitate mold casting.

[0027] Refer to Figures 3 - 4 , both ends of the top shaft 3 are arc chamfers, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the top shaft 3.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] First, place the lower mold 2 horizontally, then stack the upper mold 1 on the lower mold 2 so that the connection holes 5 of the upper mold 1 are aligned with the threaded holes of the lower mold 2. Then, pass the connecting rod 4 through the connection hole 4 of the upper mold 1. The positioning shaft 13 at the bottom of the connecting rod 4 first passes through the threaded hole and then inserts into the positioning hole 14. Then, gradually screw the threaded rod 12 at the bottom of the connecting rod 4 into the threaded hole of the lower mold 2 to complete the installation of the upper mold 1 and then the lower mold 2. Similarly, when disassembling, rotate the connecting rod 4 to disassemble, screw the threaded rod 12 at the bottom of the connecting rod 4 out of the threaded hole of the lower mold 2, and then separate the upper mold 1 from the lower mold 2, which not only facilitates the replacement of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 but also is convenient for maintenance. And the upper mold 1 is embedded in the lower mold 2. Since the bottom surface of the U-shaped ring 9 is adapted to the top surface of the shaft hole 7 of the lower mold 2, and since an arc-shaped groove 11 is provided on the side of the U-shaped ring 9 facing away from the lower mold 2, by setting the arc-shaped groove 11, the internal heat is effectively conducted, achieving an increase in the service life of the mold.

[0030] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
