Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an upper die structure of a pipe bending die. Background Art
[0002] Sand casting refers to a casting method that produces castings in sand molds. Since the molding materials used in sand casting are cheap and easy to obtain, the mold is simple to manufacture, and it can adapt to single-piece production, batch production, and mass production of castings, it has long been a basic process in casting production.
[0003] Some large-diameter elbows are typically produced using sand casting. To enhance the structural strength of these elbows, a vertical reinforcing rib is often installed on the outer circumference of the upper end. When sand casting these elbows, a sand mold (either a wooden or foam mold) is typically prepared, identical to the shape of the product. This mold is then removed from the sand mold to form the casting cavity. However, existing sand molds for these types of elbows consist of an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold has a vertical reinforcing rib installed on its outer circumference. These ribs are made of either foam or wood. Foam-based reinforcing ribs offer insufficient structural strength. While wood-based reinforcing ribs offer high structural strength, their relatively thin thickness and height make them difficult to remove from the sand mold, leading to dimensional deviations. Therefore, improvements to the upper mold structure of sand molds for elbows are necessary to overcome these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to improve the problems existing in the prior art. Specifically, the present invention aims to provide an upper mold structure for a pipe bending mold.

[0006] Furthermore, a foam fillet is provided between one end of the reinforcing rib plate close to the wooden mold body and the outer circumferential surface of the wooden mold body.
[0007] Furthermore, a semicircular recess is provided at one end of the reinforcing rib plate close to the wooden mold body for matching with the outer circumferential surface of the wooden mold body, and the bottom surface of the reinforcing rib plate is flush with the bottom surface of the wooden mold body.
[0008] Furthermore, a foam reinforcement block is fixed on the top of the outer circumferential surface of the wooden mold body between two adjacent reinforcing ribs, and a foam fillet is also provided between the foam reinforcement block and the reinforcing ribs.

Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model provides an upper mold structure of a pipe bending mold, including a wooden mold body 1 with an overall arc shape, the cross-section of the wooden mold body 1 is semicircular, and the outer circumferential surface of the wooden mold body 1 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 2 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the wooden mold body 1, and each reinforcing rib 2 is perpendicular to the wooden mold body 1, that is, the reinforcing ribs extend radially along the wooden mold body. The specific improvement is that the reinforcing ribs 2 include foam ribs 3, and the foam ribs 3 are respectively fixed with lateral wooden boards 4 on both sides along the axial direction of the wooden mold body 1. The lateral wooden boards are in the form of thin plates, and the foam ribs 3 and the lateral wooden boards 4 on both sides form a sandwich structure. The foam ribs serve as the main structure of the reinforcing ribs, and the lateral wooden boards serve to improve the structural strength of the foam ribs. The reinforcing ribs on the circumferential surface of the arc-shaped wooden mold body are composed of foam ribs and lateral wooden boards. The foam ribs serve as the main structure of the reinforcing ribs, while the lateral wooden boards serve to improve the structural strength of the foam ribs. When demolding, the lateral wooden boards are easy to demold due to their small thickness, and the foam ribs can be removed directly by crushing. The entire demolding process is not prone to dimensional deviation.

The foam fillet is provided around the outer circumference of the wooden formwork body. Furthermore, the reinforcing rib plates at both ends of the wooden formwork body have foam fillets on only one side, while the remaining reinforcing rib plates have foam fillets on both sides.
[0022] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the reinforcing rib plate 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the wooden formwork body 1 .
