Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of die preheating, in particular to a preheating device for an aluminum alloy forging die. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum alloy forging dies are tools used during the aluminum alloy forging process to plastically deform the aluminum alloy material under the constraints of the die, thereby obtaining the desired shape of the forging. When using aluminum alloy forging dies, they need to be preheated. Preheating ensures that the die reaches the required temperature at the beginning of forging, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the die and the high-temperature aluminum alloy billet, reducing thermal stress and preventing die cracking. Heating can also improve the wear resistance and service life of the die, reducing production costs.
[0003] Existing aluminum alloy forging dies typically use an oil heating device to preheat the die using hot oil before forging the aluminum alloy. However, using hot oil for die preheating requires the die cavity to be completely filled with hot oil for effective preheating, requiring a large amount of hot oil. Furthermore, heat is lost during the process of filling the die cavity, resulting in energy loss and increased costs. Furthermore, hot oil preheating of the die is generally uneven, making preheating temperature deviations more likely, thus shortening the die's service life. Utility Model Content

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a preheating device for an aluminum alloy forging die comprises a support base 1, a die base 2 being provided on the support base 1, a lower die 3 being provided on the die base 2, a top frame 4 being mounted on the support base 1, a lifting plate 5 being provided on the top frame 4, an upper die 6 being provided on the lower surface of the lifting plate 5, a support leg being provided on the lower surface of the support base 1, a cross plate 7 being provided on the support leg, and a preheating device 8 being provided on the cross plate 7. A column is provided on the support base 1, and the top frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the column. An oil cylinder 9 is provided on the top frame 4, and the telescopic shaft of the oil cylinder 9 is connected to the lifting plate 5. A guide column 10 is provided on the lifting plate 5, and the guide column 10 passes through the top frame 4.
[0019] When forging aluminum alloy, the entire device is stably placed by the legs on the lower surface of the support base 1. The lower die 3 on the die base 2 is preheated by the preheating device 8. After the lower die 3 is preheated, the material is placed on the lower die 3 and the oil cylinder 9 on the top frame 4 is started. The telescopic shaft of the oil cylinder 9 brings the lifting plate 5 and the upper die 6 down. During this process, the guide column 10 ensures the stability of the descent of the lifting plate 5. When the upper die 6 contacts the material, it exerts force on the material and cooperates with the lower die 3 to complete the forming and forging of the material. After the aluminum alloy forging is completed, the oil cylinder 9 on the top frame 4 is started to remove the die from the lifting plate 5 and the upper die 6, and then the aluminum alloy formed part can be removed.
[0020] Through the above implementation scheme, the preheating device 8 includes a water tank 801, a heating pipe 802, a water pumping pipe 803, a circulating water pump 804, a delivery pipe 805, a spray assembly 806 and a recovery pipe 807. The water tank 801 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal plate 7, and a cover plate is provided on the water tank 801. The heating pipe 802 is arranged inside the water tank 801. One end of the water pumping pipe 803 is located in the water tank 801, and the other end passes through the water tank 801 and is connected to the circulating water pump 804. The delivery pipe 805 is connected to the circulating water pump 804, and the delivery pipe 805 is fixedly connected to the spray assembly 806. The spray assembly 806 is located in the mold base 2. One end of the recovery pipe 807 passes through the side wall of the mold base 2 and is connected to the spray assembly 806, and the other end of the recovery pipe 807 is connected to the water tank 801.
[0021] The spray assembly 806 includes a main pipe 8061, a secondary pipe 8062 and a steam nozzle 8063. The main pipe 8061 and the secondary pipe 8062 are connected by a connecting pipe, and the secondary pipe 8062 is symmetrically arranged relative to the main pipe 8061. The main pipe 8061 is fixedly connected to the end of the delivery pipe 805. The steam nozzle 8063 is installed on the main pipe 8061 and the secondary pipe 8062, and the steam nozzle 8063 is evenly distributed on the main pipe 8061 and the secondary pipe 8062.
[0022] When the preheating device 8 is used, the power supply of the heating pipe 802 inside the water tank 801 is turned on, and the heating pipe 802 is energized to generate heat that acts on the inside of the water tank 801, thereby heating the water inside the water tank 801. Then, the circulating water pump 804 is started to pump water through the pumping pipe 803, and the hot water enters the main pipe 8061 in the spray assembly 806 through the delivery pipe 805. Under the action of the connecting pipe, the hot water is diverted to the auxiliary pipe 8062, and finally the high temperature in the main pipe 8061 and the auxiliary pipe 8062 is heated. Hot water is ejected from the steam nozzle 8063 in the form of steam. The ejected steam acts on the lower mold 3, quickly preheating the lower mold 3 while ensuring preheating uniformity. The steam used for heat exchange condenses into water droplets in the mold base 2, and finally gathers together and flows back to the water tank 801 through the recovery pipe 807, realizing the recycling of water and reducing the cost of use. When necessary, the lower mold 3 can be removed from the mold base 2 to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the spray assembly 806. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate.
[0023] It should be noted that, by means of the preheating device 8, the lower die 3 can be effectively preheated to ensure the normal use of the die during subsequent aluminum alloy forging. The preheating device 8 is provided with structures such as a water tank 801, a circulating water pump 804 and a heating pipe 802, which can realize the recycling of water and reduce the cost of use. A spray assembly 806 is installed inside the die base 2 to heat the lower die 3 with atomized steam, which can not only quickly realize the heating of the die, but also increase the preheating uniformity and improve the heating uniformity of the lower die 3, thereby extending the service life of the lower die 3 to a certain extent. The steam after heat exchange is condensed into water and enters the water tank 801 through the recovery pipe 807, which will not cause waste of resources. A main pipeline 8061 and a secondary pipeline 8062 are provided in the spray assembly 806, and a plurality of steam nozzles 8063 are provided on each pipeline, which can ensure uniformity in the initial stage of spraying, further improving the preheating uniformity. At the same time, the steam nozzle 8063 can be quickly installed and disassembled for easy replacement.
