TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a mould technical field, concretely speaking, a point contact type water cooling structure mould. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the rise of new energy vehicles, the automobile market is growing, and the market demand for automobile hubs is also increasing, and higher requirements are put forward for the design and quality of hub products. In the automobile hub products, low pressure casting aluminum alloy hub is widely used because of its high production efficiency, stable yield, low manufacturing cost and other advantages. In the casting of low pressure aluminum alloy hub, filling and solidification are two keys. When filling, the high temperature aluminum alloy melt fills the mold cavity. When solidifying, the aluminum alloy melt solidifies into a blank under the action of the mold and cooling.
[0003] There are two kinds of conventional low pressure aluminum alloy casting cooling methods. One is direct air cooling structure. Generally, the compressed cold air is directly blown to the mold to take away the heat of the mold surface and promote the solidification of the melt. The advantages are that the mold structure is relatively simple, the process adjustment is easy, the disadvantages are that the casting efficiency is low, noise is generated during use, a large amount of electric energy is needed to generate compressed air, and the cost is high. The other is water cooling. Generally, a passage is formed on the mold by drilling, and then cooling water is introduced into the pipeline to realize the cooling of the mold and the melt. The advantages of this method are high cooling efficiency, high casting efficiency, no noise during use, and more energy-saving compared with air cooling. However, due to the high cooling efficiency and fast cooling speed of water cooling, in order to avoid affecting the sequential solidification of the melt, leading to product quality defects, the position with thin wall thickness cannot be used. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] Therefore, the utility model aims at providing a point contact type water cooling structure mould, which can improve the casting efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost under the premise of ensuring the casting quality of aluminum alloy hub.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A point contact type water cooling structure mould, comprising a mold base, a cooling water channel communicating with a cooling water inlet and outlet pipe is arranged on the mold base, a mold cooling column is arranged in the cooling water channel, and the cooling water channel is fixedly connected with a cooling water channel cover plate.
[0007] In some embodiments, the cooling water channel is provided with a counterbore matched with the diameter of the mold cooling column, and the mold cooling column is fixedly installed in the counterbore.
[0008] In some embodiments, the mold cooling column is welded to the cooling water channel.
[0009] In some embodiments, the material of the mold cooling column comprises stainless steel.
[0010] In some embodiments, the material of the mold cooling column comprises copper.
[0011] In some embodiments, the material of the mold cooling column comprises aluminum alloy.
[0012] In some embodiments, the mold cooling column comprises a cuboid mold cooling column and / or a prism mold cooling column and / or a spherical mold cooling column.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the point contact type water cooling structure mold has the following advantages:
[0014] The utility model discloses a point contact type water cooling structure mold with cooling efficiency between air cooling and water cooling. This patent sets up cooling column on one side of mold cooling device, and arranges a small water channel outside the cooling column, so that water cooling needs to be conducted to the mold and aluminum alloy melt through the cooling column, which weakens the water cooling efficiency, avoids the melt in the thin wall position from solidifying in advance to cause the flow to be cut off, and influences the casting quality. The cooling strength is close to the level of air cooling, can replace compressed air, improves the casting efficiency, and saves production cost at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] The following is for reference. Figs. 1 to 3 The point-contact water-cooled structural mold of this utility model is described in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0024] A point-contact water-cooled structural mold, Fig. 1 In the design, several mold cooling pillars 3 are designed at the locations on the bottom mold 1 where cooling is required. The material of the mold cooling pillars 3 can be designed as stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, etc., depending on the cooling intensity and thermal conductivity requirements. Cooling channels 2 are machined with countersunk holes according to the positions and diameters of the mold cooling pillars. The cooling channels 2 are then assembled with the mold cooling pillars 3, and welded at the joints to prevent leakage. Finally, the cooling channel cover 4, connecting the cooling inlet and outlet pipes 5, is welded onto the cooling channels 2. When cooling is activated, cooling water enters the cooling channels 2 through the cooling inlet and outlet pipes 5. As the activation time increases, the water level in the cooling channels rises. When the water level surpasses the mold cooling pillars 3, the temperature of the mold body is conducted to the water through the mold cooling pillars 3, achieving a cooling effect on the mold and the melt. The heated cooling water flows out from the outlet, continuing the cooling process. When cooling is deactivated, the cooling water stops flowing in, and the cooling water in the cooling channels 2 flows out from the outlet under gravity. The liquid level in the cooling channels 2 is lower than the mold cooling pillars 3, and cooling stops.
[0025] exist Fig. 2 In the middle, the water inlet and outlet pipes 5 of the bottom mold contact type are connected to the control cabinet, and water circulation cooling is formed through the cooling inlet and outlet pipes 5.
