Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting molds, in particular to an insert positioning structure and a mold. Background Art
[0002] The products obtained by investment casting are precise and complex, close to the final shape of the parts, and can be used directly without processing or with little processing; it is not only suitable for casting of various types and alloys, but also the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the castings produced are higher than those of other casting methods. Even complex, high-temperature-resistant, and difficult-to-process castings that are difficult to cast by other casting methods can be cast by investment casting.
[0003] In the precision casting process, wax molds need to be made. When making wax molds, due to the complex shape of the workpiece and the difficulty in parting the inner cavity, multiple inserts will be used for splicing. In existing molds, the insert positioning structure is unreasonable, and long-term use and wear can easily cause the insert positioning accuracy to decrease, the insert splicing to be unstable, and movement to occur, resulting in defective wax parts, thereby wasting costs. In addition, the mold has a short lifespan and cannot be used for a long time. Utility Model Content

[0007] The insert and the core are slidably connected via a positioning groove and a slide, and the core positions the insert in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the positioning groove.
[0008] The insert and the slider are positioned via a pin.
[0009] In the above-mentioned insert positioning structure, the cross-sections of the positioning groove and the slide are dovetail-shaped.
[0010] In the above-mentioned insert positioning structure, the end face of the first connecting end of the insert is fitted with the core to position the insert in the extension direction of the positioning groove; the positioning groove is located on the end face of the first connecting end of the insert and extends toward the interior of the insert; the slide is arranged on the core.
[0011] In the above-mentioned insert positioning structure, positioning pin holes are provided on the end faces of the slider and the second connecting end of the insert, and both ends of the pin shaft extend into the positioning pin holes of the slider and the insert respectively.
[0012] In the above-mentioned insert positioning structure, the relative sliding direction between the insert and the core is along the demoulding direction of the core.
[0013] On the one hand, the utility model provides a mold, including a core, a slider and a plurality of inserts, wherein the inserts are connected to the core and the slider using the insert positioning structure as described above.
[0014] In the above-mentioned mold, a plurality of the inserts are sequentially spliced to form a columnar movable core, and the outer side surfaces of the core, the movable core and the slider are spliced to form the molding surface of the inner cavity of the part.
[0015] In the above mold, the interior of the movable core is hollow, and the extension body of the slider extends into the interior of the movable core.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
