Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of die casting manufacturing technology, specifically to a vacuum valve for die casting. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum die casting technology has been widely applied in new energy vehicles, 5G communications, improvement of traditional automotive castings, electronics, household products, aerospace and other fields. Vacuum die casting technology involves removing air from the mold cavity before the molten metal is cooled and formed, reducing the injection pressure, reducing porosity, increasing the density of the product, and enhancing its mechanical properties. The vacuum valve is a very important component in the vacuum die casting process.
[0003] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks:
[0004] Existing vacuum valves for die casting often suffer from drawbacks such as aluminum dust clogging the vacuum channel and poor sealing leading to air leakage. These valves also have weak sealing properties, making them prone to leakage. Furthermore, existing vacuum valves often use electrical control switches for closure, which result in a high failure rate. When these valves are damaged or clogged, a significant amount of time is required for repair, replacement, or cleaning, thereby reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vacuum valve for die casting to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum valve for die casting, comprising a valve body and a piston. A mounting hole is provided in the middle of the top of the valve body, and a cavity is provided inside the valve body. The top of the cavity coincides with the mounting hole. A piston is movably installed inside the cavity. A first connection port and a second connection port are respectively provided on both sides of the middle part of the valve body. The ends of the first connection port and the second connection port away from the valve body are both designed to bulge outward. Sealing gaskets are adhered to the inner walls of the first connection port and the second connection port.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, the piston moves up and down and rotates inside the cavity, which can open and close the vacuum valve. The first and second connection ports facilitate the connection and installation of the vacuum valve with the pipeline. The inner wall is equipped with a sealing gasket, which increases the sealing performance of the connection between the vacuum valve and the pipeline.
[0008] A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the piston. The mounting plate has a rectangular cross-section. A first button and a second button are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the mounting plate. A micro motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0009] The above technical solution features a wider mounting plate on both sides, making it easier to grip the piston that rotates under force, and a micro motor provides power to the entire vacuum valve.
[0010] A double-headed cylinder is embedded in the middle of the piston. Telescopic components are fixedly installed on both sides of the double-headed cylinder. Circular holes are opened on both sides of the middle part of the piston, and the telescopic components are inserted into the inside of the circular holes.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the dual-head cylinder can drive the telescopic components on both sides to extend and retract laterally. When the telescopic components retract, they are retracted into the piston, which facilitates the piston to slide up and down inside the cavity. When the telescopic components extend, the end away from the piston is engaged with one end of the first connection port or one end of the second connection port, forming a channel to facilitate airflow.
[0012] The telescopic assembly includes a sleeve and a telescopic tube. The sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the telescopic tube, and one end of the telescopic tube is slidably installed inside the sleeve. The outer side of the sleeve near the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole, and a sealing gasket is adhered to the outer side of the telescopic tube away from the sleeve.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the sleeve is fixedly installed inside the piston, the telescopic rod is inserted laterally inside the sleeve, and a sealing gasket is provided at one end of the telescopic tube that connects to the first connection port and the second connection port, which enhances the sealing performance of the airflow channel inside the vacuum valve.
[0014] The dual-headed cylinder is electrically connected to the first button and the second button, both of which are electrically connected to the micro motor. The outer wall of the piston is bonded with a rubber pad, and the sharp corners of the mounting plate are all rounded and chamfered.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the first button controls the extension of the telescopic component, and the second button controls the retraction of the telescopic component. The outer corners of the mounting plate are chamfered to facilitate gripping and prevent injury to the palm.
[0016] Vertical grooves are provided on the inner walls of the middle part of both sides of the cavity. The vertical grooves are located above the first connection port. An arc-shaped groove is provided on one side of the top of the vertical groove. The end of the arc-shaped groove near the vertical groove is connected to the top of the vertical groove.
[0017] The above technical solution connects the vertical slide groove and the arc-shaped slide groove to form a smooth slide groove, which facilitates sliding within the slide groove. The vertical slide groove facilitates the piston's up and down movement, while the arc-shaped slide groove facilitates the piston's rotation within the cavity.
[0018] Slider blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the middle part of the piston. The sliders are located above the double-headed cylinder and are slidably installed inside the vertical slide groove and the arc-shaped slide groove.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider not only facilitates the movement of the piston inside the cavity, but also serves as a limit to prevent the piston from falling off.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] This utility model vacuum valve has a simple opening and closing mechanism, a simple structure, is easy to operate, can be completed quickly, improves production efficiency, and has sealing gaskets at each connection part of the airflow channel, which enhances the overall sealing performance of the vacuum valve and can effectively prevent air leakage.
