Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a novel front suspension bracket forming die. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the requirements for the quality and production efficiency of automotive parts are becoming increasingly stringent. The front suspension bracket is a crucial component of the vehicle's suspension system. It is directly connected to the front wheels, supporting the weight of the front of the vehicle, absorbing the impact and vibration caused by uneven road surfaces, and helping to maintain the correct alignment of the wheels. Therefore, the design of the front suspension bracket is particularly important.

[0003] A front suspension bracket, referring to Figure 1 The height of the front suspension bracket is smaller than its length, and its width is in the shape of a metal plate. The width of one length end of the front suspension bracket is smaller than the width of the other length end. A connecting hole is provided at one end of the front suspension bracket for passing a steel rod to connect the front wheel axle of the car, and a plurality of small holes are provided at the other end for bolting other metal structural parts of the front suspension bracket system. In order to reduce material fatigue and vibration transmission, a front suspension groove is provided on the front suspension bracket near the wheel end, and the bottom of the front suspension groove protrudes from the surface of the front suspension bracket. The edge of the front suspension groove is smoothly set in the wide and narrow transition section.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, due to the complex shape of the front suspension bracket, the production efficiency of the traditional casting method is usually low in order to ensure production accuracy. Therefore, the production efficiency of the front suspension bracket can be increased starting from the mold structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to increase the casting and production efficiency of the front suspension bracket, the present invention provides a novel front suspension bracket forming die.

[0006] The present invention provides a novel front suspension bracket forming die adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A novel front suspension bracket forming die, comprising:

[0008] The lower template is arranged horizontally, with forming grooves on both sides of the top surface, the shape of the forming grooves being adapted to the shape of the front suspension bracket, and forming blocks formed on both sides of the bottom surface, directly below the forming grooves, the forming blocks being adapted to the forming grooves and protruding from the bottom surface of the lower template, and the lower template being vertically distributed in multiple pieces;

[0009] Two upper templates are arranged horizontally, the bottom sides of the two upper templates are formed with the forming blocks, and the two upper templates are arranged above the forming grooves on both sides of the lower template;

[0010] A cooling assembly is provided inside the upper mold plate and the lower mold plate and is used to cool the molten metal;

[0011] The lower template and the upper template are arranged to slide vertically;

[0012] The edges of the lower template and the upper template are provided with pouring ports connected to the forming groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the forming mold is mainly composed of an upper template, a lower template and cooling components inside the upper and lower templates. Forming grooves are opened on the edges of both sides of the top side surface of the lower template, and a forming block is formed on the bottom surface of the upper template. The forming grooves and the forming blocks are plugged into the upper and lower templates as they snap together to form a mold chamber that adapts to the shape of the front suspension bracket. Molten metal is injected into the mold chamber through the pouring port, and the cooling component cools the molten metal to form it. Then the upper and lower templates are separated and demoulded.

[0014] In this solution, the lower template is horizontally distributed in multiple layers. The bottom layer of the multi-layer lower template is formed into forming blocks, and the top layer is provided with forming grooves. The adjacent layers of the lower template can be fitted together to form multiple mold bins, and multiple front suspension brackets can be cast at the same time.

[0015] Optionally, also include:

[0016] Inner sliding rods are vertically arranged at the corners of the multiple layers of the lower templates, and the inner sliding rods run through each lower template.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to realize the vertical sliding of the above lower templates, the inner sliding rods are vertically arranged at the four corners of the multiple lower templates, and the multiple lower templates are vertically distributed in a straight line, and are also used to limit the sliding direction of the multiple lower templates.

[0018] Optionally, also include:

The outer sliding rod is provided with multiple sliding components, and the sliding components correspond one to one and connect the lower template and the upper template to drive the lower template and the upper template to slide vertically.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer slide bar and the inner slide bar form the slide of the front suspension bracket forming mold, and the sliding of the above lower template and upper template is achieved by the sliding assembly provided on the outer slide bar.

[0021] Optionally, the sliding assembly includes:

[0022] The electric slide is passed through the outer slide bar, and the outer slide bar is provided with a slide groove corresponding to the electric slide.

[0041] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application discloses a new front suspension bracket forming die. Figure 2 A new front suspension bracket forming mold includes a vertically arranged base plate 2, which serves as a basic supporting structure. A plurality of vertically arranged outer sliding rods 21 and inner sliding rods 22 are fixedly connected to the base plate 2. In this embodiment, four inner sliding rods 22 are provided, and the bottom ends of the four inner sliding rods 22 are fixed to the center part of the base plate 2. Eight outer sliding rods 21 are provided, and two outer sliding rods 21 correspond to one inner sliding rod 22 distributed at the edge of the base plate 2. The inner sliding rods 22 and the outer sliding rods 21 are distributed in a criss-cross pattern as a whole.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 Each outer slide 21 is slidably connected to a plurality of electric slides 211, which are vertically distributed along the outer slide 21. The electric slides 211 are conventional technology, and their principles are not described in detail here. A horizontal connecting rod is fixed to the electric slide 211, and the other end of the connecting rod extends to the inner slide 22. A plurality of horizontal lower templates 23 are provided on the four inner slides 22. The multiple lower templates 23 are vertically distributed, and the corner portions are plugged into the inner slides 22. The side edges of the electric slides 211 are fixed to the connecting rods on the electric slides 211. The electric slides 211 slide along the outer slides 21, driving the multiple lower slides to slide vertically through the connecting rods. The inner slides 22 provide guidance and support as they slide across the layers.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, only four of the eight outer sliding rods 21 that are not adjacent to each other are slidably connected to the electric slide 211, and the remaining four outer sliding rods 21 only play a guiding, supporting and balancing role. This setting scheme can save the operating cost of the casting equipment when casting the front suspension bracket 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Two upper templates 24 are horizontally arranged above the multi-layer lower template 23. The two upper templates 24 are arranged relative to each other in a horizontal plane. The opposite edges of the two upper templates 24 are fixed to the connecting rods and are driven by the electric slide 211 to slide vertically. As a result, the upper template 24 and the lower template 23 can slide and fit vertically. Forming grooves 231 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the lower template 23. A forming block 232 is formed on the bottom surface of the lower template 23 just below the corresponding forming groove 231. A forming block 232 is also formed on the bottom side of the upper template 24 and just above the forming block 232 on the corresponding lower template 23. The shape of the forming block 232 is adapted to the front suspension bracket 1. The forming block 232 protrudes from the bottom side of the lower template 23. The forming block 232 and the forming groove 231 are adapted to fit with the sliding fit of the lower template 23. A mold bin is formed between the forming block 232 and the forming groove 231. The molten metal is cast in the mold bin. After cooling, the front suspension bracket 1 is formed. It should be noted that the bottom side of the bottom layer of the multi-layer lower template 23 is flush and no forming block 232 is provided.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In addition to vertical sliding, the upper template 24 can also slide horizontally. Specifically, a driving cylinder 212 is horizontally arranged on the connecting frame of the electric slide 211 at the top. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder 212 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the end of its piston rod is fixedly connected to the upper template 24. The piston rod of the driving cylinder 212 is extended and retracted, driving the upper template 24 to slide horizontally. When the above-mentioned lower template 23 slides vertically upward, the two upper templates 24 slide vertically and horizontally synchronously, and the forming block 232 below the plate surface is docked with the forming groove 231 of the uppermost lower template 23 to form a mold cavity.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The upper mold plate 24 and lower mold plate 23 are equipped with multiple cooling pipes 25, forming a cooling assembly. The cooling pipes 25 are arranged outside the molding groove 231 and surround the molding groove 231 to ensure full cooling of the molten metal. The cooling pipes 25 are arranged inside the molding block 232 to reduce the distance between the cooling pipes 25 and the high-temperature molten metal. The cooling pipes 25 circulate externally. The upper mold plate 24 and lower mold plate 23 are equipped with pipes for transporting coolant to the outside world on the same side.

[0048] The implementation principle of a new front suspension bracket forming mold in the embodiment of the present application is: a layer of lower template 23 is provided with two forming grooves 231, corresponding to the left and right symmetrical front suspension brackets 1 respectively. When multiple layers of lower templates 23 are bonded together, multiple groups of front suspension brackets 1 can be produced at the same time, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0049] However, when the order quantity is clear, that is, the demand is small, only part of the lower template 23 can be opened, which reduces production efficiency but saves production energy consumption of the front suspension bracket 1 and improves cost performance.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
