Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing and manufacturing, in particular to a piston die with an inner concave cavity whose insert ring is lower than the height of an oil channel. Background Art
[0002] With the increase of engine power, boost load, reciprocating high speed and other parameters, aluminum silicon piston mainly adopts wear-resistant insert and internal cooling oil channel structure. Under normal conditions, the lower end surface of the wear-resistant insert in the piston is higher than the upper position of the cooling oil channel (such as Figure 5 As shown), so that the salt core and the insert can be easily and quickly installed during the piston casting production. However, for some pistons, the installation position of the lower end surface of the wear-resistant insert is lower than the upper position of the cooling oil channel (such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the piston cavity is concave and cannot be demolded as a whole. The piston mold of this structure is a 5-piece mold structure. The salt core is installed on the inner mold core. Due to the height of the large side core of the inner mold, the inner mold core drives the salt core downward for a short distance, and the salt core cannot be placed below the lower end surface of the insert ring. When the insert ring is installed during casting production, it collides with the salt core, causing the salt core to break or be damaged, and it is impossible to cast a qualified piston blank. To solve the problem of difficult installation of the insert ring of a piston whose lower end surface is lower than the upper plane of the salt core, it is necessary to improve the mold structure design of the internal cooling oil channel piston and improve the insert ring installation method to ensure the normal casting production of the piston blank.

[0018] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] The following describes the implementation method of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description only includes some embodiments, not all embodiments. For the purpose of clarity, representations and descriptions that are not related to the present invention are omitted in the drawings and descriptions.
[0020] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and beneficial effects of the present invention, the following detailed description of the technical solution of the present invention is provided. Obviously, the implementation examples described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The utility model aims to solve the problem of not colliding and damaging the salt core when installing the wear-resistant insert ring during the casting process of the inner cooling oil channel piston blank, so as to cast a qualified piston blank.
[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides an inward concave cavity piston mold with an insert ring lower than the oil channel height, comprising an outer mold 1, a top mold 2, a salt core 3, and an inner mold 4. The salt core 3 is installed on the inner mold 4, and the outer mold 1 is sleeved on the outside of the inner mold 4. The outer mold 1 is provided with a plurality of guide slopes 1-1 and an insert ring positioning plane 1-2, and the top mold 2 is provided with a plurality of milling grooves 2-1. The milling grooves 2-1 on the top mold 2 correspond to the guide slopes 1-1 on the outer mold one by one. The top mold 2 and the outer mold 1 are respectively assembled through the milling grooves 2-1 and the guide slopes 1-1. The guide slopes 1-1 are connected to the insert ring positioning plane 1-2 and are arranged in the top center area of the outer mold 1, and are higher than the top of the salt core 3.
[0023] Specifically, there are four guiding slopes 1 - 1 , and the inclination angle of the guiding slopes 1 - 1 is 8°. The starting point of the height of the guiding slopes 1 - 1 is 8-13 mm higher than the top of the salt core 3 .
[0024] The specific position of the salt core 3 installed on the inner mold 4 is: the salt core 3 is installed at the edge core position close to the inner mold 4; the downward movement range of the center core of the inner mold 4 is: 0-5mm.
[0025] A convex pressing block 2-2 is provided on the top mold 2, and the convex pressing block 2-2 is specifically provided on the inner side of the milling groove 2-1.
[0026] Example: Figure 4As shown, a PID piston with a cylinder diameter of Φ91 is selected for mold improvement design. The outer mold 1 is increased with four guide slopes 1-1 for installing the inserts, with a slope of 8°, and the starting height of the guide slope 1-1 is 8mm higher than the top of the salt core 3 installed on the mold; the top mold 2 has a milling groove 2-1 corresponding to the matching part with the outer mold 1, and retains a raised pressure block 2-2 for pressing the inserts; during the piston casting production process, before installing the inserts, the core of the inner mold 4 drives the salt core 3 to move down 5mm. Because the large side core of the inner mold 4 cannot move up and down, the distance that the core of the inner mold 4 drives the salt core 3 to move down is limited. According to calculation, it can move down 5mm. When installing the inserts, the robot gripper tries to get as close as possible to the top position of the salt core 3 installed on the mold, and releases the insert in the air. The insert falls into the insert positioning plane 1-2 through the self-centering of the guide slope 1-1 of the outer mold 1, and is then pressed by the raised pressure block 2-2 of the top mold 2.
[0027] After the mold structure is improved, the insert ring can be quickly pressed onto the outer mold insert ring positioning plane, thereby ensuring that the position and size of the piston insert ring being cast are qualified, and solving the problem that the piston insert ring is difficult to install when the lower end surface of the insert ring is lower than the upper plane of the salt core.
[0028] Before the improvement, piston blanks could not be produced due to the inability to install the piston ring. After the improvement, verification was conducted on five PID76 molds where the oil passage was positioned higher than the ring. PID76 product casting produced 2,400 piston blanks. After processing into finished pistons, statistics showed that 18 pistons were rejected due to ring misalignment, and 6 pistons were rejected due to ring bonding flaw detection. The casting scrap rate for ring misalignment was 0.75%, and the flaw detection scrap rate for ring bonding was 0.25%. Based on big data statistics, the casting scrap rate for conventional ring-mounted pistons was 0.6%, and the flaw detection scrap rate for ring misalignment was 0.3%. The difference between the rejection rates for ring misalignment and ring bonding flaw detection was very small, both falling within the normal fluctuation range, indicating that the mold structure improvement was successful.
[0029] When the robot gripper installs the ring, it drops the ring near the top of the salt core. The ring falls into the ring positioning platform through self-centering through the outer mold guide slope, and is pressed tightly by the top mold raised pressure block to ensure that the position and size of the casting piston ring are qualified.
[0030] The utility model increases the space for installing the inlay ring by adding four guiding inclined surfaces for installing the inlay ring on the outer mold, and the starting point of the guiding inclined surfaces is higher than the top of the salt core installed on the mold, thereby solving the problem that the inlay ring of the piston whose lower end surface is lower than the upper plane of the salt core is difficult to install.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or techniques or knowledge in the relevant fields. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be protected by the claims appended hereto.
