Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of die casting production waste material processing, and in particular to a shearing die casting part punching waste material mold. Background Technology

[0002] Die casting is one of the most advanced forming methods currently available. Because it allows for the rapid, high-speed, and high-pressure filling of complex cavities with molten metal, it enables the efficient and rapid production of various complex parts with minimal or no machining. Therefore, it has a wide range of applications, with die-cast parts used in numerous industries including automobiles, motorcycles, machinery, home appliances, 3C products, and daily necessities. Due to the inherent nature of die casting processes, the casting blank mainly consists of a gating system (sprue), the casting itself, and an overflow system (overflow channels and venting channels). The casting blank, for example... Figure 1 As shown. After die casting, the excess material in the sprue and overflow channel needs to be removed. Currently, the most common method for removing excess material from casting blanks is blanking. This method is convenient and quick. A trimming machine can be directly equipped around the die casting machine, and blanking dies can be used to remove excess material and clean up flash, which is easy to automate.

[0003] Existing technology uses a blanking die to cut off excess material. The die structure diagram is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, an inverted blanking method is generally used, where the punching punch is below the die (lower die), and can be either integral or split. The die cavity is above the die (upper die). Due to the large size of the castings, their irregular shapes, and the uncertain distribution of the sprue and overflow channels, the upper die can be arranged in a split configuration. The blanking cutting edge structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the punching gap between the upper and lower dies is determined based on the casting material and the thickness of the ingate.

[0004] In actual production, molds with this structure often exhibit defects such as uneven fracture surfaces ("missing material") and micro-cracks gradually appearing at the gate after blanking, severely impacting the first-pass yield of castings. The main causes of these defects are as follows:

[0005] 1) The gate design of the casting is determined according to the shape of the casting structure. Often, the gate to be punched is not on the same plane as the bottom plane of the casting. That is, the cutting edge of the lower die does not contact the part of the casting blank to be punched. When the upper die punches downward, the casting is subjected to uneven force, resulting in defects such as "missing material" and micro-cracks in the casting.

[0006] 2) The thickness of the casting blank is uneven at the gating inlet and overflow inlet, especially at the ingate, where the thickness is between 2 and 4.5 mm. The most commonly used material for die casting is aluminum alloy, which has poor toughness and plasticity. When the blanking thickness is large, defects such as uneven fracture and "missing material" will occur.

[0007] 3) the lower die is fixed during the punching process, and the upper die uses rubber pressure material to realize "hard" punching, which is easy to damage the casting. Content of the utility model
