Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold structure technology, and in particular to a motor housing forming mold. Background Technology

[0002] Motor housings are generally formed by casting. The molds used for forming motor housings are typically coated sand molds, which are then formed using a sand-shooting machine. Because motor housings have thin-walled structures, the coated sand molds are assembled from multiple plates. Molten metal is poured into the coated sand mold, filling the internal cavities. After cooling, the mold is removed, resulting in the motor housing. The assembly of the coated sand molds for motor housings is a crucial process that significantly impacts the casting quality of the motor housing.

[0003] Existing patent CN202420687663.4 discloses a coated sand shell for a main component, including an upper shell assembly comprising a top plate, a casting device through hole, a casting device, a cylindrical runner, and a liquid inlet. The lower shell assembly includes a lower shell base and a bottom plate located below the lower shell base. The liquid inlet connects to the casting device, allowing molten metal to be poured into the cylindrical runner and then injected into the mold cavity via the casting device. The side shell assembly is formed by sequentially convex and concave-convex splicing of a first side shell, a second side shell, a third side shell, and a fourth side shell. Adjacent side shells are connected by snap-fit ​​components, resulting in a tighter structure and preventing molten metal from flowing out. Annular grooves on the bottom surface of the top plate and the upper surface of the bottom plate are adapted to annular bosses on the upper and lower surfaces of the first, second, third, and fourth side shells, making the connection between the side shells and the upper and lower shells more convenient and faster. However, the coated sand shell in the aforementioned patent can only be assembled manually, which cannot meet the assembly requirements of automated production. Utility Model Content
