Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting structure improvement technology, specifically to a conformal chill structure for complex castings, which is suitable for castings with complex internal cavity structures and machined bosses, and can effectively prevent defects such as shrinkage porosity and cracks from occurring in the casting process. Background Technology
[0002] During the casting process, especially for castings with complex internal cavities and machined bosses, defects such as shrinkage porosity and cracks are prone to occur at heat-bonding locations due to the complex shape and uneven wall thickness. Traditional flat chills cannot effectively solve these problems, leading to unstable casting quality and a high scrap rate. Figure 1 As shown, the product to be processed has a large internal cavity structure with a "neck" on each side, the smallest of which is only about 100mm. The corresponding core for processing this product's internal cavity is as follows: Figure 5 The design requires the core to be thinner at both ends and thicker in the middle, with the middle section weighing significantly more than the two ends. Due to gravity, the core is highly susceptible to deformation, resulting in uneven thickness (thicker on top, thinner on bottom) or even complete loss of the core, rendering the casting unusable. This structure significantly increases the difficulty of casting. Furthermore, the "neck" of the core is the heat-bonding area of the casting and also the machined surface, making this area prone to shrinkage defects. Thirdly, the outer surface of the product to be machined has several machined bosses, each with drilled holes. These areas are frequently prone to defects, especially at points B and C, where a flat chill cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, a chill structure that can conform precisely to the shape of the casting and fit the surface precisely is urgently needed to improve casting quality. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a conformal chill structure for complex castings, solving the problem that the existing sand core structure cannot meet the quality requirements of the castings to be processed.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a conformal chill structure for complex castings, comprising an outer mold, an inner core, a core frame, and conformal chills. The outer mold includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The conformal chills include a first chill, a second chill, and a third chill. The first chill is a ring with a stepped outer circumference, and its outer circumference shape conforms to the surface of the casting. The first chill is welded to the core frame, which penetrates the inner core. The second and third chills are each divided into upper and lower halves, with the upper half located on the upper mold and the lower half located on the lower mold. Positioning strips are installed at corresponding positions on the upper and lower molds to ensure accurate installation of the second and third chills. A 0.5mm gap is reserved between the second and third chills and the upper and lower molds to ensure a good fit.
[0005] Further optimization, the core bone pipe wall thickening to enhance the structural strength.
[0006] Further optimization, the second chill and third chill are provided with an inverted draft angle to ensure that the fixing of the upper half of the second chill and third chill will not fall off.
[0007] Further optimization, the core bone is provided with positioning marks at the corresponding positions of the core box for making the inner core.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the present application effectively solves the defects such as shrinkage and cracks that are easily generated in the casting process of complex castings, improves the casting quality, and reduces the scrap rate through the conformal chill structure, reinforced core bone, positioning strip design, inverted draft angle and gap design.
