[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an alloy mold for manufacturing precious metal products, comprising:
[0030] A processing table 1, a turntable 2 is provided in the middle of the processing table 1, a mold body 3 is provided on the turntable 2, and a rotating component 4 for controlling the rotation of the mold body 3 is provided on one side of the processing table 1 located on the turntable 2;
[0031] The mold body 3 consists of an outer shell 31, a lower mold 32 and an upper mold 33. The outer shell 31 is slidably connected to the turntable 2, and the lower mold 32 is fixedly arranged inside the outer shell 31. An inner cavity 5 is provided between the outer shell 31 and the lower mold 32, and a vacuum exhaust component 6 is provided in the inner cavity 5.
[0032] In a further embodiment, the processing table 1 is the basic structure of the entire device, providing a stable platform to ensure that the mold and other components are firmly installed and can withstand the forces generated during rotation and operation. The turntable 2 is responsible for carrying the mold body 3, and its main function is to drive the mold body 3 to perform centrifugal casting operations through rotational motion to ensure uniform metal flow during the centrifugal casting process; the mold body 3 is the core part for casting precious metal products, wherein the outer shell 31 is used to cover the main part of the mold body 3, protect the internal structure of the mold, and slide and engage with the turntable 2. The outer shell 31 ensures that the mold will not separate from the turntable 2 during rotation and can be easily installed and disassembled; the lower mold 32 is fixed inside the outer shell 31 to form the lower half of the mold. Its main function is to provide the basic structure for casting. When injected, the precious metal will first flow into the cavity of the lower mold 32. The upper mold 33 is opposite to the lower mold 32, and through cooperation, a complete mold cavity is formed to constitute the final shape of the precious metal product; the inner cavity 5 is located between the outer shell 31 and the lower mold 32, providing space for the vacuum exhaust component 6. The main function of the inner cavity 5 is to form a vacuum environment, help remove the air and volatile substances in the mold, reduce pores and surface defects, and improve the density and quality of the precious metal product; the vacuum exhaust component 6 is installed in the inner cavity 5, and is responsible for extracting air and gas in the mold cavity during the casting process. By applying vacuum in the mold cavity, air retention is reduced and bubbles are prevented.
[0033] Specifically, the rotating assembly 4 includes a worm gear 41 fixedly mounted on the middle of the turntable 2, and the processing table 1 is rotatably provided with a worm 42 on one side of the turntable 2. The worm 42 is meshed with the worm gear 41, and the processing table 1 is fixedly provided with a stepper motor 43 on one side of the worm 42. The output end of the stepper motor 43 is fixedly connected to the worm 42.
[0034] In a further embodiment, the worm wheel 41 is responsible for meshing with the worm 42. The function of the worm wheel 41 is to transmit the rotational motion of the worm 42 to the turntable 2, so that the turntable 2 rotates. The function of the worm 42 is to transmit the rotational motion of the stepper motor 43 to the worm wheel 41, thereby controlling the rotation of the turntable 2. The stepper motor 43 and the output end of the worm 42 are fixedly connected to achieve synchronous motion, so that the rotation speed and angle of the mold can be controlled, making the centrifugal casting process more efficient, and can ensure the precise positioning of the mold when it stops, which is suitable for the manufacture of high-precision precious metal products.
[0035] Specifically, the vacuum exhaust component 6 includes a vacuum pump 61 arranged in the middle of the inner cavity 5, and a vacuum channel 62 is opened in the middle of the lower mold 32. There are multiple vacuum channels 62, and the vacuum channels 62 are small enough.
[0036] In a further embodiment, a vacuum pump 61 is installed in the middle of the inner cavity 5, and its main function is to provide a negative pressure environment inside the mold. By extracting the air in the mold cavity, the vacuum pump 61 can effectively reduce the generation of bubbles during the casting process and avoid pores and surface defects inside the product. The vacuum channel 62 is a series of small channels opened in the lower mold 32. These channels are connected to the vacuum pump 61 and serve to guide the air inside the mold to the vacuum pump 61; the design of the vacuum channel 62 is very fine, and the channel is opened very small to prevent the molten metal from entering these channels during casting, while also ensuring that the vacuum system can work effectively and quickly remove the gas in the mold cavity; the number of vacuum channels 62 is large, which can cover multiple key parts of the mold, ensuring that the air can be quickly discharged from all corners. This layout helps to evenly improve the vacuum effect of the entire mold and avoid gas residue in local areas.
[0037] Specifically, a connecting groove 7 for mutual engagement is provided between the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33 , and a self-locking buckle 8 is provided between the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33 .
[0038] In a further embodiment, the connecting groove 7 is a snap-fit structure between the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33. Through the design of the groove, the two parts can be tightly fastened. The design of the connecting groove 7 ensures the accuracy and stability of the upper and lower molds 32 when docking; the self-locking buckle 8 is a locking device used between the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33 to ensure that the two parts remain tightly combined during the casting process.
[0039] Specifically, the outer surfaces of the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33 are both surrounded by cooling pipes 9 , the two cooling pipes 9 are slidingly connected, and the two cooling pipes 9 are detachable.
[0040] In a further embodiment, the cooling pipe 9 is a cooling structure arranged around the outer surfaces of the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33. Its main function is to quickly reduce the mold temperature by circulating a cooling medium (such as water or cooling oil) during or after the casting process, thereby preventing the mold from overheating and causing adverse effects on the metal product. This cooling method can accelerate the solidification process of precious metal products and reduce the cooling time after casting, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, rapid cooling also helps to reduce mold damage or deformation caused by thermal stress and extend the service life of the mold.
[0041] The two cooling pipes 9 are designed to be connected by sliding connection, so that the cooling pipes 9 of the lower mold 32 and the upper mold 33 can be tightly combined to form a complete cooling circuit.
[0042] Specifically, a feeding pipe 10 is provided on the top of the upper mold 33, and the feeding pipe 10 is spirally arranged.
[0043] In a further embodiment, the spiral feed pipe 10 design can effectively extend the path of the molten metal from the inlet to the mold cavity, so that it maintains good fluidity when entering the mold. The spiral design helps to slow down the flow rate of the molten metal, avoid direct and rapid impact on the mold cavity, and prevent bubbles or voids caused by excessive flow of the molten metal.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not limitations on the implementation methods of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
