Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of injection cylinders of die-casting machines, and particularly relates to a mother-child type injection cylinder for an extrusion casting machine. Background Art

[0002] Traditional extrusion casting machines use injection cylinders with large cylinder diameters to achieve rapid injection molding of castings. During the rapid injection process, since hydraulic actuators require a very large flow rate and energy supply, accumulators and nitrogen gas tanks need to be configured as auxiliary power sources. During rapid injection, the accumulator provides instantaneous flow rate compensation to meet the requirements of the injection cylinder for high pressure and large flow rate. However, in the above traditional device solution, the accumulator needs to store energy in advance, which increases the production preparation time and reduces the production efficiency; moreover, the accumulator and nitrogen gas tank also increase the complexity of the device system, the floor area and the maintenance cost. On the other hand, during the extrusion casting process, it is necessary to ensure a constant injection force. Therefore, the oil pump used in conjunction with the traditional injection cylinder needs to have a large displacement, which not only increases the equipment cost, but also the energy consumption of the large-displacement oil pump is high, which is not conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] To solve the above background problems, the utility model proposes a mother-child type injection cylinder for an extrusion casting machine, which can achieve the speed of the traditional injection cylinder without using an accumulator, and at the same time keep the injection force unchanged during boosting injection. The extrusion casting machine adopting the utility model has high structural strength, no energy storage time required, and at the same time the displacement of the oil pump is small and the energy consumption is low. It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background art part is only used to understand the background art of the inventive concept of the utility model, and therefore, it may include information that does not constitute the prior art.

[0007] When the system flow rate is small, the system oil is directly supplied to the fast cylinder, and the fast injection of the shot cylinder is realized through the movement of the fast cylinder plunger. At this time, oil enters through the central through hole of the fast cylinder plunger, the rear oil inlet and outlet port of the shot cylinder sucks oil from the fuel tank, and the front oil inlet and outlet port of the shot cylinder discharges oil to the fuel tank;

[0026] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mother-and-son type injection cylinder for an extrusion casting machine, its main structure includes an injection cylinder and a fast cylinder, where the injection cylinder is used as the mother cylinder and the fast cylinder is used as the son cylinder. The injection cylinder is located outside the fast cylinder; the telescopic directions of the injection cylinder and the fast cylinder are the same.

[0027] The injection cylinder includes: an injection cylinder barrel 1, an injection cylinder piston 2, an injection cylinder piston rod 3, an injection cylinder flange 4, an injection cylinder rear cylinder head 5, and an injection cylinder front cylinder head 6.

[0028] The injection cylinder piston 2 and the injection cylinder piston rod 3 are fixedly connected; the injection cylinder piston rod 3 is provided with a central blind hole; the injection cylinder piston 2 can move back and forth in the inner hole of the injection cylinder barrel 1; the outer diameter of the injection cylinder piston rod 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the injection cylinder barrel 1;

[0029] The rear cylinder head 5 and the front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder are respectively located at both ends of the injection cylinder barrel 1; the central protruding parts of the rear cylinder head 5 and the front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder are inserted into the inner hole of the injection cylinder barrel 1;

[0030] The injection cylinder flange 4 is an annular part, and the number is 2; the inner hole surface of the central part of the injection cylinder flange 4 is provided with threads, and is fixedly connected to the outer circular surfaces at both ends of the injection cylinder barrel 1 respectively by means of threaded connection; the two injection cylinder flanges 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rear cylinder head 5 and the lower surface of the front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder respectively through the flanges thereon; through the above structure, the injection cylinder barrel 1, the injection cylinder flange 4 and the rear cylinder head 5 of the injection cylinder form a fixed connection.

[0031] The front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder is provided with a front oil inlet and outlet 10; the number of the front oil inlet and outlet 10 is 1, which is arranged on the side of the front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder and communicates with the central through hole of the front cylinder head 6 of the injection cylinder;

[0032] The rear cylinder head 5 of the injection cylinder is provided with a rear oil inlet and outlet 9; the number of the rear oil inlet and outlet 9 is 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the side of the rear cylinder head 5 of the injection cylinder and communicate with the central through hole of the rear cylinder head 5 of the injection cylinder.

[0033] The fast cylinder includes: a fast cylinder plunger and a fast cylinder head;

[0034] The fast cylinder plunger 7 is provided with a central through hole; the front end of the fast cylinder plunger 7 is inserted into the central blind hole of the injection cylinder piston rod 3, and the rear end of the fast cylinder plunger 7 is fixedly connected to the rear cylinder head 5 of the injection cylinder through a flange;

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the structural strength of the hollow injection cylinder piston rod 3, the length of the injection cylinder piston rod 3 should be less than 15 times its diameter; the outer diameter of the fast cylinder plunger 7 should be less than 30% of the outer diameter of the injection cylinder piston rod 3.

[0036] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, the device of the present utility model includes three working states, namely, a fast injection state, a boosting injection state and an injection return state; in a complete injection process, the three states are switched in sequence.

[0037] Fast injection state: The hydraulic oil is only supplied to the fast cylinder. The hydraulic oil enters the fast cylinder through the central through hole of the fast cylinder plunger 7; synchronously, the rear oil inlet and outlet 9 sucks oil from the fuel tank, and the front oil inlet and outlet 10 discharges oil to the fuel tank. In the fast injection state, due to the small volume inside the fast cylinder, the fast cylinder plunger 7 can quickly move away from the injection cylinder piston rod 3, and the mother-child type injection cylinder realizes fast injection; this working state corresponds to the fast filling stage of the squeeze casting machine.

[0038] Boost injection state: The hydraulic oil is supplied to both the injection cylinder and the fast cylinder simultaneously to ensure the stable output of the total injection force at the maximum state. The hydraulic oil enters the fast cylinder through the central through-hole of the fast cylinder plunger 7, and at the same time enters the rodless cavity 121 through the rear oil inlet / outlet port 9 and discharges oil to the fuel tank through the front oil inlet / outlet port 10. In the boost injection state, the output thrust of the mother-and-son injection cylinder is the largest; this working state corresponds to the pressure-holding and solidification stage of the squeeze casting machine.

[0039] Injection return state: The piston rod 3 of the injection cylinder retracts, and the mother-and-son injection cylinder resets. The hydraulic oil enters the rod cavity 12 through the front oil inlet / outlet port 10 and discharges oil to the fuel tank through the rear oil inlet / outlet port 9 and the central through-hole of the fast cylinder plunger 7. In the injection return state, the mother-and-son injection cylinder does not output thrust; this working state corresponds to the stage when the squeeze casting machine waits for the next casting process.

[0040] A mother-and-son injection cylinder for a squeeze casting machine according to this embodiment can achieve the speed of a traditional injection cylinder without using an accumulator, and at the same time, the injection force remains unchanged during boost injection. The squeeze casting machine adopting the utility model has high structural strength, no need for accumulator time, a smaller displacement of the oil pump, and lower energy consumption.

[0041] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements, numerical expressions, and numerical values of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model. At the same time, it should be understood that for the sake of convenience of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the authorization specification. In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0042] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature shown in the figures with other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the attached drawing is inverted, the device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the corresponding interpretations are made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.

[0043] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" etc. is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the attached drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Without contrary statements, these orientation words do not indicate or imply that the indicated devices or elements must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
