Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0031] An aluminum alloy shell casting mold, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an upper template 4 and a lower template 2 that are connected together;
[0032] The structure of the upper template 4 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the surface of the upper template 4 is provided with a flow channel 2 43, and the surface of the upper template 4 is provided with a mounting groove 1 41 and a mounting groove 2 42; a sand core 1 6 and a sand core 2 7 are installed in the mounting groove 1 41 and the mounting groove 2 42; as shown Figure 6 As shown, the first sand core 6 and the second sand core 7 are detachably connected; a cylindrical limiting post (not shown) is provided on the side of the first sand core 6, and a cylindrical limiting hole is provided on the side of the second sand core 7; the limiting post is inserted into the limiting hole for the detachable connection of the first sand core 6 and the second sand core 7, and after connection, as shown... Figure 8 As shown.
[0033] The lower template 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the lower mold plate 2 forms a cavity 21, which, together with the first sand core 6 and the second sand core 7, forms a mold cavity for casting. The surface of the lower mold plate 2 is provided with a first flow channel 22, which, together with the second flow channel 43, forms a gate. The gate communicates with the mold cavity. A sprue basin 1 is provided on the side of the lower mold plate 2, and the sprue basin 1 communicates with the gate. The lower mold plate 2, when fitted with the first sand core 6 and the second sand core 7, forms the following... Figure 4 As shown.
[0034] To compensate for the shrinkage of the aluminum alloy shell casting and effectively prevent defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity, a second shrinkage compensation channel 44 is provided at the surface edge of the upper template 4; a first shrinkage compensation channel 23 is provided at the surface edge of the lower template 2; the first shrinkage compensation channel 23 and the second shrinkage compensation channel 44 cooperate to form a third shrinkage compensation riser. A first shrinkage compensation riser 45 is provided in the mounting groove 41, and a second shrinkage compensation riser 46 is provided at the center of the surface of the upper template 4; a through hole 71 is opened on the surface of the second sand core 7, and the through hole 71 is connected to the second shrinkage compensation riser 46.
[0035] To facilitate positioning and opening / closing between the upper template 4 and the lower template 2, positioning holes 47 are formed on the surface of the upper template 4, and positioning posts 24 are formed on the surface of the lower template 2. The positioning posts 24 are engaged with the positioning holes 47. When the mold is closed, the positioning holes 47 are aligned with the positioning posts 24, ensuring greater accuracy when the two templates are closed.
[0036] To facilitate the rotation of the two molds and the casting process, locking elements 3 are provided on the sides of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 2, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the locking component 3 includes a baffle 31, a first spring 32, a first fixing plate 33, an insertion rod 34, a second fixing plate 35, a pressing plate 36, and a second spring 37; the second fixing plate 35 is fixed to the side of the lower template 2, and the first fixing plate 33 is fixed to the side of the upper template 4; the insertion rod 34 is inserted into the inside of the first fixing plate 33, and the top of the insertion rod 34 is fixed with a baffle 31; a first spring 32 is provided between the baffle 31 and the first fixing plate 33; the bottom side of the insertion rod 34 is rotatably connected to the pressing plate 36, and one side of the pressing plate 36 extends into the insertion rod 34; the pressing plate 36 has a triangular cross-section, and the bottom end of the pressing plate 36 is rotatably connected to the insertion rod 34, and the pressing plate 36 and the insertion rod 34 are connected by the second spring 37. When the mold is closed, the baffle 31 is pressed. When the baffle 31 is pressed, the insertion rod 34 is inserted into the second fixed plate 35. When it is inserted, the pressing plate 36 is pressed, which presses the second spring 37. At this time, the first spring 32 is stretched. Until the pressing plate 36 is inserted completely through the second fixed plate 35, the pressing plate 36 pops out under the action of the second spring 37 to limit the movement. The insertion rod 34 is used to fix the first fixed plate 33 and the second fixed plate 35, thus achieving the fixed connection between the upper template 4 and the lower template 2.
[0037] To facilitate the rotational casting of the template, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lower template 2 is provided with a support member 5 on its side, the support member 5 including a rotary motor 51 and a bracket 52; the lower template 2 is provided with brackets 52 on both sides, the brackets 52 are used to support the lower template 2; the brackets 52 are provided with a rotary motor 51 on their side, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 51 is connected to the lower template 2; the rotary motor 51 is used to drive the lower template 2 to rotate on the side of the bracket 52.
[0038] In use, the positioning hole 47 is aligned with the positioning post 24, and the upper template 4 and lower template 2 are closed. After closure, the baffle 31 is pressed, causing the insertion rod 34 to be inserted into the second fixed plate 35. During insertion, the pressing plate 36 is pressed, causing the second spring 37 to be pressed, at which point the first spring 32 is stretched. This continues until the pressing plate 36 completely passes through the second fixed plate 35. At this point, the pressing plate 36 pops out under the action of the second spring 37 to limit its movement. The insertion rod 34 is used to fix the first fixed plate 33 and the second fixed plate 35, thus completing the fixation between the two templates. During casting, molten aluminum is taken by a robotic arm and placed in the pouring basin 1. When the pouring basin 1 is filled to 80% capacity, the rotary motor 51 is started. When the rotary motor 51 starts, it drives the entire template to slowly rotate, and the molten aluminum begins to flow into the cavity through the pouring gate due to gravity. When the mold is rotated to 90°, it is perpendicular to the bottom surface, and all the molten aluminum enters the cavity of the product. After heat preservation and solidification for a period of time (the heat preservation and solidification time depends on the product size and structure, usually 5-8 minutes), the rotary motor 51 is started to reverse and slowly return to horizontal. Then, by pressing the pressing plate 36, the upper template 4 is moved upward, opening the upper and lower templates, and the worker removes the product. Because the product's inner cavity cannot be demolded, and the product's internal layout contains air channels, two sand cores are needed for molding. After molding, the aluminum alloy shell is completely removed by separating the two sand cores. The molded aluminum alloy shell and sand cores are as follows: Figure 9 As shown; a cross-sectional view of the formed aluminum alloy shell is shown below. Figure 10 As shown.
[0039] This invention features two detachable sand cores, which effectively enable the casting of aluminum alloy products with internal air channels, facilitating easy demolding. Furthermore, the compact structure of the gating gate and gating basin allows for rapid and convenient casting by rotating the mold.
[0040] This invention features multiple feeding risers that can provide additional molten aluminum. When the aluminum alloy casting shrinks in volume due to solidification, the liquid metal in the risers flows into the voids formed by the shrinkage of the casting under the action of gravity and pressure, thereby compensating for the shrinkage of the casting and effectively preventing defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity.
[0041] The locking device between the upper and lower templates of this utility model fixes the two templates when the mold is closed, so as to facilitate rotational casting. After casting is completed, they can be separated simply by pressing, making the operation simple and convenient.
