Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal composite material processing technology, and in particular to a rapid prototyping mold for metal composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Metal composites, also known as metal matrix composites, are composite materials made by artificially combining metals and their alloys with one or more metal or non-metal reinforcing phases. The reinforcing materials of these materials are mostly inorganic non-metals, but metal wires can also be used as reinforcing materials. In the processing of metal composites, metal powder needs to be laid in the molding mold. Generally, the powder is injected into the molding mold through an injection tube. This powder will serve as the matrix material of the composite material. Then, pressure is applied, and under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the metal powder begins to compact and solidify, forming the desired composite material structure. After molding is completed, the pressure is released, and the part is removed from the mold and then cooled to ensure the dimensional stability and structural integrity of the composite material.

[0003] When metal powder is laid into the mold, due to its poor fluidity, the metal powder and the mold may not form a good interface bond, resulting in insufficient structural strength of the composite material after molding.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a rapid prototyping mold for metal composite materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a rapid prototyping mold for metal composite materials.

[0006] This utility model proposes a rapid prototyping mold for metal composite materials, including a mold base and a forming mold body mounted on the mold base;

[0007] A stamping machine is installed on the mold base, and the drive end of the stamping machine is connected to an upper mold for stamping and forming the material inside the forming mold.

[0008] The molding die body is connected to an injection pipe for injecting materials into it, and a tubular water heating component is installed in the middle of the injection pipe.

[0009] The molding die body is provided with a cooling water channel. A water supply circulation component is installed on the side of the mold base, located below the tubular water heating component and connected to the water inlet of the cooling water channel. The water outlet of the cooling water channel is connected to a water outlet pipe, which is connected to the water inlet of the tubular water heating component. The water outlet of the tubular water heating component is connected to the water supply circulation component.

[0010] Preferably, the tubular water heating assembly includes a tubular water passage component and a water guide pipe. The tubular water passage component is installed in the middle of the injection pipe. The water outlet pipe is connected to the water inlet end of the tubular water passage component. The water outlet end of the tubular water passage component is connected to the water guide pipe, and the water guide pipe is connected to the water supply circulation assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the tubular water-passing component includes an outer pipe and an inner pipe. The outer pipe is installed in the middle of the injection pipe, and the inner pipe is installed inside the inner pipe and is connected to the injection pipe. A water-passing chamber is formed between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and the water-passing chamber is not connected to the injection pipe. The end of the water outlet pipe away from the molding die is connected to the top of the outer pipe and is connected to the water-passing chamber. The water guide pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer pipe and is connected to the water-passing chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the water supply circulation assembly includes a water tank and a water supply component. The water tank is installed on the side of the mold base, the bottom end of the water guide pipe is connected to the water tank, the bottom of the water tank is equipped with a water supply component, and the water supply component is connected to the water inlet of the cooling water channel inside the molding mold.

[0013] Preferably, the water supply component includes a water pump and a water supply pipe. The water pump is installed at the bottom of the water tank and communicates with its interior. The water outlet of the water pump is connected to the water supply pipe, and the end of the water supply pipe away from the water pump is connected to the water inlet of the cooling water circuit inside the molding die.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] Through the configured tubular water heating assembly, water supply circulation assembly, and outlet pipe, material is injected into the molding die via the injection pipe. Then, the upper die, driven by a stamping press, presses the material into the molding die. After the material is formed, cooling water is guided to the cooling water path within the molding die via the water supply circulation assembly. The heat within the molding die is absorbed by the water source and then guided through the outlet pipe to the tubular water heating assembly. The water entering the tubular water heating assembly then flows into the water supply circulation assembly, forming a circulation. The water has a certain amount of heat, which can heat the material to be filled in the injection tube next time, improving the material's fluidity. This structure absorbs the heat in the molding die through cooling water and uses it to preheat the material to be filled next time. This process not only reduces energy waste but also improves the fluidity of the material, allowing the metal powder to form a good interface bond with the molding die, improving the quality of metal composite molding and accelerating the molding speed. This method of recycling thermal energy effectively reduces production costs and improves the energy efficiency of the production line, which is in line with the concept of green manufacturing and sustainable development.

It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a rapid prototyping mold for metal composite materials, including a mold base 1 and a molding mold body 2 mounted on the mold base 1;

[0022] In this embodiment, a stamping machine 8 is installed on the mold base 1, and the drive end of the stamping machine 8 is connected to an upper mold 3 for stamping and forming the material inside the forming mold body 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, a material injection pipe 4 for injecting material is connected to the molding mold body 2. A tubular water heating component 5 is installed in the middle of the material injection pipe 4. A cooling water channel is provided inside the molding mold body 2. A water supply circulation component 6 is installed on the side of the mold base 1, located below the tubular water heating component 5 and connected to the water inlet of the cooling water channel. A water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the water outlet of the cooling water channel, and the water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the water inlet of the tubular water heating component 5. The water outlet of the tubular water heating component 5 is connected to the water supply circulation component 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the tubular water heating assembly 5 includes a tubular water-passing component 51 and a water guide pipe 52. The tubular water-passing component 51 is installed in the middle of the injection pipe 4. The water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the water inlet end of the tubular water-passing component 51. The water outlet end of the tubular water-passing component 51 is connected to the water guide pipe 52, and the water guide pipe 52 is connected to the water supply circulation assembly 6. The tubular water-passing component 51 includes an outer pipe 511 and an inner pipe 512. The outer pipe 511 is installed in the middle of the injection pipe 4. The inner pipe 512 is installed inside the inner pipe 512 and is connected to the injection pipe 4. A water-passing chamber is formed between the inner pipe 512 and the outer pipe 511. The water-passing chamber is not connected to the injection pipe 4. The end of the water outlet pipe 7 away from the molding die body 2 is connected to the top of the outer pipe 511 and is connected to the water-passing chamber. The water guide pipe 52 is connected to the bottom of the outer pipe 511 and is connected to the water-passing chamber.

[0025] In this embodiment, the water supply circulation component 6 includes a water tank 61 and a water supply component 62. The water tank 61 is installed on the side of the mold base 1, and the bottom end of the water guide pipe 52 is connected to the water tank 61. The water supply component 62 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 61 and is connected to the inlet end of the cooling water channel inside the molding mold body 2. The water supply component 62 includes a water pump 621 and a water supply pipe 622. The water pump 621 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 61 and is connected to its interior.

[0026] It should be noted that: the material can be injected into the molding die 2 through the injection pipe 4. During the injection process, the material passes through the inner pipe 512 in the middle section of the injection pipe 4, and then the upper die 3 is driven by the stamping machine 8 to stamp and form the material in the molding die 2. After the material is stamped and formed in the molding die 2, the water source in the water tank 61 can be guided by the water pump 621 to the cooling water circuit in the molding die 2 through the water supply pipe 622. The heat in the molding die 2 can be absorbed by the water source, and then guided through the water outlet pipe 7 to the water passage chamber formed between the outer pipe 511 and the inner pipe 512. The water source entering the water passage chamber can enter through the water guide pipe 52. Within the water tank 61, a circulation is formed. Since the water entering the water passage chamber has a certain amount of heat, it can heat the material to be filled next in the inner tube 512, improving the material's flowability. This structure absorbs the heat in the molding die 2 through cooling water and uses it to preheat the material to be filled next. This process not only reduces energy waste but also improves the material's flowability, allowing the metal powder to form a good interface bond with the molding die 2, improving the quality of metal composite material molding and accelerating the molding speed. This method of recycling thermal energy effectively reduces production costs and improves the energy efficiency of the production line, which is in line with the concepts of green manufacturing and sustainable development.
