Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of venting technology for die-casting molds, specifically to a non-clogging automatic venting valve for die-casting molds. Background Technology
[0002] Die casting, short for pressure casting, is a method of obtaining a casting by filling a die-casting mold cavity with liquid or semi-liquid metal at high speed under high pressure and then rapidly solidifying it under pressure. The die-casting mold used is called a die-casting mold. The pressure commonly used in die casting ranges from several megapascals to tens of megapascals, so high pressure and high speed are important characteristics of die casting.
[0003] Currently, there are three main types of venting components for metal die casting molds: corrugated venting plates, kinetic-operated mechanical vacuum valves, and hydraulic vacuum valves. Each of these three types has its drawbacks. Corrugated venting plates have low venting efficiency due to their small venting gaps and channel cross-sectional area, but they project a large area onto the mold. Kinetic-operated mechanical vacuum valves increase the cross-sectional area of the venting channel, but their complex structure makes them prone to blockages, especially at the start of hot mold production. Since pressurization is not applied during die casting, blockages often occur, requiring a reduction in filling volume. Partially filling the hot mold reduces its efficiency and temperature uniformity. Hydraulic vacuum valves have a large venting cross-sectional area, but their complex structure relies on vacuum equipment and the molding machine's control. They cannot independently perform venting functions, and the system is large. When connected to molding machines without hydraulic systems, a separate hydraulic station is required.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a non-clogging automatic venting valve for die-casting molds to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 In this invention, a technical solution is provided:
[0028] An automatic vent valve for non-clogging die casting molds includes valve body A1 and valve body B2. Sensing units are provided on the sides of valve body A1 and valve body B2. A vent 16 is provided on the top of valve body A1. An air supply channel is provided inside valve body A1. The vent 16 is connected to the air supply channel. A valve core 6 is movably installed inside the air supply channel. One end of the valve core 6 is connected to the ejection unit. An electrical controller 17 is fixedly connected to the side of valve body A1. The electrical controller 17 is electrically connected to the ejection unit and the sensing unit.
[0029] The valve bodies A1 and B2 have fluid channels that can communicate with each other on their opposite sides. When valve bodies A1 and B2 are closed, a complete flow channel is formed. The lower end of the fluid channel is connected to the exhaust channel of the mold body, and the upper end of the fluid channel is connected to the exhaust port 16. When the valve body A1 side and the valve body B2 side are closed together, it indicates that the mold is in the mold-closed state. After the sensing unit contacts, it sends an electrical signal to the electrical controller 17. The electrical controller 17 controls the ejection unit to eject the valve core 6. The valve channel is connected to the exhaust port 16. When the die-casting molten metal enters the mold body, the air inside the mold body enters the automatic exhaust valve through the fluid channel and is discharged through the exhaust port 16. When the molten metal head enters the head detection electrode 3 inside the valve, the electrical controller 17 controls the cylinder extension rod to retract. The valve core 6 is driven by the spring to quickly retract, the valve channel is closed, and the molten metal is blocked from continuing to advance.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown: The sensing unit includes a mold status detection body 14 fixedly installed on the side of valve body B2 and a mold status detection sensor 15 fixedly installed on the side of valve body A1. When valve body A1 and valve body B2 are closed, the mold status detection sensor 15 contacts the mold status detection body 14 and sends a control signal.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown: The ejection unit includes a cylinder seat 10 fixedly mounted on the valve body A1, and a cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the cylinder seat 10. The cylinder 11 is electrically connected to the electrical controller 17. When the electrical controller 17 receives a signal from the mold status detection sensor 15, it controls the cylinder 11 to eject the valve core 6 and open the exhaust port 6 to achieve exhaust.
[0032] Furthermore, as Figure 1 As shown: The ejection unit further includes a spring seat 7 and a spring 8 sleeved on the outside of the valve core. The spring seat 7 abuts against the valve body A1. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the spring seat 7, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the spring cover 9. The spring cover 9 is fixedly connected to the valve core 6 and movably connected to the extension end of the cylinder 11. When the extension end of the cylinder 11 retracts, the strong rebound of the spring 8 can drive the valve core 6 to retract quickly, improving the closing efficiency of the exhaust port 16.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown: The valve body A1 is also provided with at least one material head detection unit. The material head detection unit is set on the fluid channel. The material head detection unit includes a detection electrode 3 and a ceramic insulating kit. The detection electrode 3 is electrically connected to the electrical controller 17. When the die-casting metal liquid overflows from the mold body, it will enter the fluid channel and contact the detection electrode 3. At this time, the detection electrode 3 sends a control signal to the electrical controller 17. The electrical controller 17 starts the cylinder 11 to retract, thereby retracting the valve core 6 to close the exhaust port 16.
[0034] Furthermore, the detection electrode 3 and the mold status sensor 15 are both electrically connected to the electrical controller 12 through the detection electrode line 12.
[0035] Furthermore, the valve body A1 has a cooling channel drain outlet 18 on its surface and a cooling channel branch 19 inside the valve body A1 for rapid cooling of the valve body A1 and to improve its efficiency.
[0036] Working principle: When valve body A1 and valve body B2 are closed together, the mold is in the closed state. At this time, the mold status sensor 15 sends a signal to the electrical controller 17, controlling the valve core 6 to extend, opening the valve channel, and allowing the mold to release air. When the die-casting molten metal reaches the #1 detection electrode 3 in the valve body through the mold cavity, the #1 detection electrode 3 sends a signal to the electrical controller 17, controlling the valve core 6 to retract, closing the valve channel, and ending the mold air release. This entire process is completed automatically.
[0037] When linked with vacuum equipment and molding machine: When valve body A1 and valve body B2 are closed together, the mold is in the closed state. At this time, mold status sensor 15 sends a signal to electrical controller 17, controlling valve core 6 to extend, opening the valve channel, allowing mold venting or cavity vacuuming. When the die-casting molten metal reaches detection electrode 3 #1 in the valve body through the mold cavity, detection electrode 3 #1 sends a signal to electrical controller 17, controlling valve core 6 to retract, closing the valve channel, and ending mold venting or vacuuming. When valve body A1 and valve body B2 are separated, the mold is in the open state. During the vacuum cleaning process, the vacuum equipment sends a signal to electrical controller 17, opening the valve channel to allow cleaning of the vacuum channel.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
