[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 2-4 The figure shows a cooling structure for the bottom mold of a wheel hub low-pressure casting mold. The bottom mold body 10 is provided with a cooling groove 11. The open end of the cooling groove 11 is sealed with a sealing cover plate 12, forming the cooling groove 11 into an annular, sealed chamber. An inner sleeve 20 is disposed within the cooling groove 11. The inner sleeve 20 is a hollow, closed structure. An inlet pipe 21 is connected to the inner sleeve 20 for supplying low-temperature cooling water. A water outlet pipe 22 is connected to the cooling groove 11 for discharging high-temperature cooling water. Multiple spray holes 23 for spraying cooling water are uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the inner sleeve 20 corresponding to the cooling groove 11.

[0021] During use, low-temperature cooling water is introduced into the inner sleeve 20 through the water inlet pipe 21 and sprayed into the cooling tank 11 through the spray hole 23 of the inner sleeve 20 to cool the cooling tank 11. The high-temperature cooling water that has completed the heat exchange is discharged from the cooling tank 11 through the water outlet pipe 22, completing the cooling process of the bottom mold body 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, low-temperature cooling water is sprayed in the cooling tank 11 in the form of water mist through multiple spray holes 23 evenly distributed on the inner sleeve 20, which effectively improves the problem that the water inlet end of the cooling tank in the traditional bottom mold cooling structure is susceptible to rapid cooling, avoids accidents such as bottom mold cracking and water pipe welding, and ensures continuous and stable production operation; at the same time, the cooling water is evenly sprayed in the cooling tank 11 in a circumferential direction, balances the cooling rate of the cooling tank 11 in a circumferential direction, avoids the problem of uneven cooling of the bottom mold body 10, and ensures the casting quality of the wheel hub.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner sleeve 20 is a circular tube, and the spray holes 23 are radially opened on the tube wall of the inner sleeve 20. The spray holes 23 are distributed in the horizontal diameter direction and the upper half of the arc of the inner sleeve 20. The low-temperature cooling water supplied in the inner sleeve 20 is sprayed horizontally and upwardly into the cooling tank 11. This prevents the cooling water from being directly sprayed downward toward the sealing cover plate 12 and discharged through the outlet pipe 22, thereby failing to fully cool the inner wall of the cooling tank 11, causing problems such as cooling water waste and reduced cooling efficiency.

[0024] As Figure 4 shown, the water outlet pipe 22 is provided with multiple, multiple water outlet pipe 22 circumferential communication cooling tank 11, to discharge the cooling tank 11 in order to complete the heat exchange of high temperature cooling water, accelerate the discharge rate of cooling water, and thus improve the cooling efficiency of the bottom mold body 10.

[0025] As Figure 2 shown, the cooling structure further comprises the air cooling pipe 30 corresponding to the bottom mold body 10, the bottom mold body 10 is provided with the air cooling tank 13, the air cooling pipe 30 connected with the compressed air source is arranged towards the air cooling tank 13. In use, the compressed air is blown into the air cooling tank 13 through the air cooling pipe 30 to cool the bottom mold body 10. The air cooling method has the advantages of easy control of cooling strength and better cooling uniformity compared with the water cooling method. The air cooling method is used in cooperation with the water cooling method to ensure the cooling efficiency of the bottom mold body 10 while improving the cooling uniformity.

[0026] The above only discloses the specific embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited to this. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, the deformation made should be considered as belonging to the protection of the present application.
