AI Technical Summary
When producing automotive parts with significant differences in wall thickness, traditional hot extrusion dies suffer from uneven material supply, resulting in poor flatness at the beginning and end of the formed parts and affecting their mechanical properties.
Flow-blocking blocks are installed at thin-walled points of automotive parts. Through the design of flow-diverting bridges and multiple bridge positions, aluminum flow is guided to thick-walled points to achieve balance and distribution of aluminum flow velocity. The upper and lower mold structures made of H13 mold steel ensure stable aluminum flow.
This achieves uniform flatness and smoothness at both ends of automotive parts, meeting performance requirements and extending the service life of the mold.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-6 The above describes an extrusion die for automotive parts with a large wall thickness difference, including an upper die 1. The upper die 1 has a flow divider bridge 2 inside, and the flow divider bridge 2 includes five bridge positions 21. The upper die 1 is separated into four flow divider holes 3 by the five bridge positions 21.
[0030] The mold core 4 is connected to the bottom of the diversion bridge 2;
[0031] The lower mold 5 is located at the bottom of the upper mold 1. A primary welding chamber 6 is formed at the top of the lower mold 5, and a secondary welding chamber 7 is formed below the primary welding chamber 6 in the lower mold 5.
[0032] Two flow-blocking blocks 8 are provided, which are connected to the bottom wall of the primary welding chamber 6 and are located on the front and rear sides of the entrance of the secondary welding chamber 7, respectively.
[0033] Among them, the two flow-blocking blocks 8 are set as planes on one side adjacent to the inlet of the secondary welding chamber 7, and the other three sides are set as inclined surfaces, with the inclination angles all tilted towards the center of the flow-blocking block 8, so as to guide the aluminum liquid to flow towards the left and right sides of the secondary welding chamber 7.
[0034] In one embodiment, one of the bridge positions 21 is located in the middle of the upper mold 1, and the other four bridge positions 21 are paired up and connected to the left and right sides of the middle bridge position 21 respectively. The mold core 4 is located directly below the middle bridge position 21, so that when the aluminum flow flows out of the diversion hole 3, it can directly rush towards the mold core 4 from all directions, so that the mold core 4 has sufficient material supply and the aluminum flow is stable.
[0035] In one embodiment, the system further includes a cavity 9, which is located inside the lower die 5 and communicates with the secondary welding chamber 7. The die core 4 can be inserted into the cavity 9 for hot extrusion production of automotive parts. The system also includes a discharge port 10, which is located at the bottom of the lower die 5 and communicates with the cavity 9. The discharge port 10 is stepped and is used to discharge the formed automotive parts, ensuring that the outer surface of the formed automotive part aluminum profile is not affected when it is discharged, thus ensuring the integrity of its outer surface.
[0036] In one embodiment, the depth of the primary welding chamber 6 is set to 4 mm, and the depth of the secondary welding chamber 7 is set to 5 mm, so that the aluminum flow can be fully welded and tend to flow more stably, thereby ensuring the molding of automotive parts.
[0037] In one embodiment, both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 5 are made of H13 mold steel, which gives the mold body high strength and long service life. They are also fastened together with fasteners to form the mold body, making it convenient for workers to use.
[0038] The specific implementation method is as follows: When this utility model is in use, aluminum flows down through the diversion hole 3, passes through the primary welding chamber 6 and the secondary welding chamber 7, and then flows into the cavity 9. Under the joint extrusion of the mold core 4 and the cavity 9, the aluminum profile of the automotive parts is formed and further extruded downwards, and finally discharged through the discharge port 10. The stepped discharge port 10 can ensure that the surface of the formed aluminum profile of the automotive parts is not affected during extrusion, thus ensuring the quality of the finished product.
[0039] Because the aluminum profiles for these automotive parts have significantly different wall thicknesses, Figure 1 For example, the thicker sections are the left and right sides of cavity 9, that is, the two sides where the inlet of the secondary welding chamber 7 does not have the flow-blocking block 8, while the thinner sections are the front and rear sides of cavity 9, that is, the two sides where the inlet of the secondary welding chamber 7 is equipped with the flow-blocking block 8. Therefore, after the aluminum flow enters the upper mold 1, specifically:
[0040] Firstly, the aluminum flow is blocked by five bridge sites 21, divided into four flows through four flow holes 3, and the mold core 4 is arranged below the middle bridge site 21, so that the aluminum flow entering the upper die 1 can directly impact the mold core 4 when flowing out, so that the aluminum flow around the mold core 4 is sufficient, and the installation of the mold core 4 at the bottom of the middle bridge site 21 also makes the aluminum flow around the mold core 4 balanced when impacted by the aluminum flow, has higher stability, and the mold core 4 is not easy to swing, thereby ensuring the stability of the aluminum flow flowing to the mold core 4;
[0041] When the aluminum flow reaches the primary welding chamber 6, the aluminum flow on both sides of the cavity 9 is blocked by the flow block 8 when flowing to the secondary welding chamber 7, and since the flow block 8 has three sides arranged as inclined surfaces, the aluminum flow at the flat surface will continue to flow towards the inside of the secondary welding chamber 7, and the aluminum flow impacting the three inclined surfaces will be dispersed outward, thereby a part of the aluminum flow flows to the left and right sides of the cavity 9, and then flows into the secondary welding chamber 7 and the cavity 9 inside synchronously with the aluminum flow flowing out of the left and right flow holes 3, so that there is more aluminum flow at the wall thickness point of the automobile part, and less aluminum flow at the wall thin point, not only balancing the flow rate of the aluminum flow, but also achieving the distribution of the aluminum flow at the wall thickness point and the wall thin point, thereby making the aluminum flow in the cavity 9 reasonable and uniform during the molding of the automobile part, so that the aluminum flow can flow uniformly and stably through the cavity 9, thereby making the head and tail flatness of the automobile part during molding the same, without color difference, and good smoothness, which can meet the performance requirements of the automobile part in use;
[0042] Further, the flow block 8 can also improve the strength of the lower die 5, so that the lower die 5 has high impact resistance, avoiding the collapse of the lower die 5 by the aluminum flow, reducing the loss of the mold body, and the mold body does not need to be frequently replaced during use, and has a long service life;
[0043] At the same time, the design of the primary welding chamber 6 and the secondary welding chamber 7 improves the flow rate of the aluminum flow towards the cavity 9, improves the welding quality, and better fuses the four aluminum flows when they converge, avoids the accumulation of aluminum liquid at the inlet of the cavity 9, and makes the aluminum liquid flow smoothly towards the inside of the cavity 9, thereby ensuring the molding quality of the automobile part;
[0044] The embodiment specifically solves the problem that the existing hot extrusion die cannot reasonably supply the aluminum flow according to the wall thickness of the automobile part during production, the supply at the wall thickness is often insufficient, the aluminum flow in the cavity 9 has a flow rate difference, the head and tail flatness of the molded automobile part aluminum profile is large, and the mechanical properties are affected, which needs to be improved.
[0045] The above has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, and it is needless to say that the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application for those skilled in the art. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature, and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
