Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-pressure casting molds, and in particular to a low-pressure casting mold for aluminum product processing. Background Technology

[0002] Low-pressure casting is a precision casting process used for machining aluminum products. It utilizes low pressure to force molten metal into a mold cavity to obtain precise castings. These molds are typically made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as steel or special alloys, to withstand the temperature and pressure during the casting process. The design of low-pressure casting molds requires precise calculations to ensure uniform metal flow and avoid defects such as porosity and inclusions. By using low-pressure casting molds, complex-shaped aluminum parts with uniform wall thickness can be produced, finding wide applications in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors.

[0003] In aluminum product processing, the maintenance of low-pressure casting molds typically requires specialized tools for disassembly and assembly. However, even with these tools, the risk of hand pinching remains. This is because the mold's complex structure, limited operating space, and the high temperatures encountered during casting make it easy for maintenance personnel to experience hand pinching accidents. Such incidents not only cause inconvenience and safety risks for maintenance personnel but can also affect maintenance efficiency and the mold's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a low-pressure casting mold for aluminum product processing, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A low-pressure casting mold for aluminum product processing includes a lower mold, an upper mold, an upper cooling plate, a lower cooling plate, a first mold compartment and a second mold compartment. The first mold compartment is located at the upper end of the lower mold, the lower cooling plate is located at the lower end of the lower mold, and the second mold compartment is located at the lower end of the upper mold and is adapted to the first mold compartment. The upper cooling plate is located at the upper end of the upper mold.

[0007] The upper and lower cooling plates are provided with handle cavities on their side walls. Each handle cavity has a mounting hole at its front end. A cooling system adapter is provided on the inner wall of the handle cavity, and a limit groove is provided on the side wall of the cooling system adapter. The cooling system adapter can be stored through the handle cavity.

[0008] A detachable handle is installed in the handle cavity and mounting hole, and the end face of the detachable handle is provided with a socket. The inner wall of the socket is provided with a limiting strip that matches the limiting slide groove. The limiting strip and the limiting slide groove realize the limiting assembly of the detachable handle and the cooling system adapter.

[0009] The cooling system adapter is connected to the cooling system connector via a threaded pipe. The cooling system connector extends the gripping area of ​​the detachable handle and conceals the interface between the cooling system connector and the cooling system adapter.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the inner wall of the handle cavity is arc-shaped and the cavity wall of the handle cavity is smooth. An anti-slip rubber pad is provided at the joint between the handle cavity and the detachable handle.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the detachable handle is provided with a round hole that matches the mounting hole. Bolts are inserted into the round hole and the mounting hole to fix the detachable handle to the upper or lower cooling plate. The cross-section of the detachable handle is designed in a "T" shape.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the limiting groove is symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the cooling system adapter and located at the quadrant point of the cooling system adapter, and a sealing ring is provided at the docking point between the cooling system adapter and the detachable handle.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the cooling system connector is designed as an integral part of the threaded pipe, the threaded pipe is threadedly connected to the cooling system adapter, a sealing ring is provided at the connection, and a sealing ring is provided at the mating point between the cooling system connector and the detachable handle;

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this application, the limiting strip and the detachable handle are designed as a single unit, and the limiting strip and the cooling system adapter are designed to be smooth. The grip portion of the detachable handle is provided with an anti-slip rubber sheet.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The tight connection between the cooling system adapter and the cooling system connector ensures a high level of airtightness in the cooling system. This improved sealing further enhances the cooling efficiency of the mold, thereby contributing to improved quality and processing speed of aluminum products. Through this optimized design, the mold can cool more efficiently during production, ensuring that the aluminum products reach the ideal temperature during cooling, thus improving the quality of the final product.

[0017] Furthermore, the design of the detachable handles and cooling system adapters makes mold maintenance and repair more convenient. This design allows operators to easily disassemble and install the mold, facilitating the timely detection and repair of potential problems. This not only ensures production continuity but also further guarantees product quality, preventing production delays and product quality degradation caused by mold issues.

[0018] The detachable handle design not only improves the efficiency of mold installation and disassembly but also significantly enhances work efficiency. The inner wall of the handle cavity is designed with a curved shape, making it more comfortable to hold, and it is equipped with anti-slip rubber pads to increase friction. This design significantly reduces the risk of slippage during operation, thereby improving operational safety. This anti-slip design allows operators to work more stably and safely when handling molds, avoiding accidents caused by slippage.

[0019] The anti-slip design of the handle cavity and detachable handle, along with the perfect fit of the limiting strip and limiting groove, further reduces mold wear during operation. This wear-reducing design not only extends the mold's service life but also lowers maintenance costs. By reducing wear, the mold can maintain good working condition during long-term use, thereby ensuring the stability of the production process and the consistency of product quality.
