Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precision casting, in particular to a gate structure for precision casting of a turbocharger. Background Art

[0002] At present, in order to pursue a high-quality, high-surface finish and less machining allowance production casting process for some parts in the automotive turbocharger wastegate valve system, precision casting is generally adopted. The wastegate valve is usually a part weighing from a few grams to dozens of grams. To improve production efficiency, usually a string is composed of multiple parts and a gating system, and a gate is set at a certain part of the part to connect with the gating system.

[0003] In the investment casting process, a wax pattern similar to the shape of the part is first pressed, then a refractory material is coated on the surface of the wax part, and then the wax pattern is melted by a steam dewaxing kettle to form wax water and discharged. Due to the different expansion coefficients of wax and refractory material, if the gate is not reasonably set, the whole string of products is likely to be scrapped.

[0004] In the conventional design of the gate of the casting factory cover plate part, the gate is designed at the center position of the plate surface. The wax below the position of the cover plate part structure lower than the gate cannot be completely discharged, and the carbide, ash, etc. generated by the residual wax after roasting will cause defects such as relevant slag holes and sundries during pouring, thus affecting the surface and internal quality of the casting.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new gate structure that can solve the above problems to improve product quality and reduce costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gate structure for precision casting of a turbocharger.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0008] A gate structure for precision casting of a turbocharger, the gate structure is fixed at the lower end of the part, the part is a disc-shaped cover plate, and several parts are integrally formed in series by the gate structure. It is characterized in that the gate structure includes a gate body, the gate body is in a cylindrical structure, the gate body axially penetrates and fixes the part, a side gate is arranged on one side of the lower part of the gate body, the side gate protrudes radially, the side gate extends to the outer edge of the lowermost part, and the upper end of the side gate is integrally formed with the lowermost part.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer end of the side gate is in a semi-circular arc shape.

[0010] The utility model adds a small gate on the side of the inner gate, and the small gate extends to the edge of the cover plate, so that the lowest level of the product wax liquid is flush with the runner during dewaxing, and the dewaxing of the cover plate parts is smooth without residue; the design of the small gate also increases the contact surface of the tree assembly, reduces the scrap rate of dropped parts, there is no residue of the wax material during dewaxing, reduces the defects of the castings during pouring, and improves the qualified rate of the products.
