Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting technology, and in particular to a mixed fabric casting tooling for heavy-duty truck cylinder lower support products. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid increase in the development frequency of new heavy-duty truck models, the market demand for various specifications and types of hydraulic cylinder lower support components has also been growing. This significantly increases the investment in casting tooling development for automotive parts companies that primarily rely on ordinary sand casting. Furthermore, when a particular vehicle model is discontinued, the lifespan of its corresponding component casting tooling may also end. The more tooling and molds a company invests in, the greater the cost pressure it faces. To adapt to the rapid upgrading of hydraulic cylinder lower support components and meet customer procurement needs, it is indeed necessary to provide a new type of casting tooling for heavy-duty truck hydraulic cylinder lower support products. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a mixed-layout casting fixture for heavy-duty truck cylinder lower support products: it includes an upper mold plate 1, a lower mold plate 2, a pouring cup 4, multiple sets of horizontal runners 8, multiple sets of risers 6, multiple sets of venting rods 9, and multiple sets of venting plates 10. The upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The pouring cup 4 is located on the upper wall of the upper mold plate 1 at the center position under the top view projection. Multiple casting models 3 for different specifications of cylinder lower support products are mixed and arranged between the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2. The multiple sets of casting models 3 are arranged in a matrix mixed arrangement between the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2. By mixing and arranging the casting models 3 of different specifications of cylinder lower support products between the same set of upper mold plate 1 and lower mold plate 2, the purpose of mass production of multiple specifications of heavy-duty truck cylinder lower support products can be achieved at the same time while ensuring product quality and performance, so as to meet the growing market demand.

[0025] Multiple sets of risers 6 are connected to the horizontal sprue 8 by overlapping. The two sets of risers 6 at the farthest ends of the multiple sets of risers 6 are provided with overflow structures 11 on opposite sides. The overflow structures 11 can collect various oxide inclusions, sand, slag and other impurities generated by the impact when the molten iron initially flows into the mold cavity, and achieve the function of secondary filtration of molten iron. This design can effectively reduce sand and slag hole defects in castings and improve the surface quality of products.

[0026] The upper wall of the lower mold plate 2 is provided with a first recess 5 and a second recess 7. The first recess 5 and the second recess 7 on the lower mold plate 2 are connected by a horizontal sprue 8. A filter mechanism 12 is provided at the connection between the first recess 5 and the horizontal sprue 8. The filter mechanism 12 is a ceramic filter screen. Its mesh density gradually decreases along the casting flow direction. When the molten iron enters from the pouring cup 4, impurities are first filtered through the ceramic filter screen to ensure that the molten iron flowing into the mold cavity is pure and slag-free.

[0027] Multiple sets of venting rods 9 are spaced out and arranged around the casting mold 3 and in the non-forming area. Multiple sets of venting plates 10 are connected to a set of venting rods 9 in pairs. The thickness of the venting plates 10 is 2mm, and the distance between them and the casting mold 3 is 3mm-5mm. When molten iron enters the mold cavity, because the venting plates 10 are only 2mm thick and are not connected to the casting mold 3, and the venting rods 9 are not connected to the casting mold 3, the molten iron cannot enter the venting rods 9. However, the generated gas can be discharged from the mold cavity in a timely and effective manner through the venting rods 9, thereby reducing the porosity defects of the casting.

[0028] Working principle: By arranging the casting models 3 of different specifications of hydraulic cylinder lower support products together between the same set of upper mold plate 1 and lower mold plate 2, it is possible to simultaneously mass-produce various specifications of hydraulic cylinder lower support products for heavy-duty trucks while ensuring product quality and performance, thus meeting the growing market demand. The overflow structure 11 can collect various oxide inclusions, sand, slag and other impurities generated by the impact when molten iron initially flows into the mold cavity, achieving the function of secondary filtration of molten iron. This design can effectively reduce sand and slag defects in castings and improve the surface quality of products. The filtration mechanism 12 is a ceramic filter screen, whose mesh density gradually decreases along the casting flow direction. When molten iron enters from the pouring cup 4, impurities are first filtered through the ceramic filter screen to ensure that the molten iron flowing into the mold cavity is pure and slag-free. When molten iron enters the mold cavity, because the exhaust plate 10 is only 2mm thick and is not connected to the casting model 3, and the exhaust rod 9 is also not connected to the casting model 3, the molten iron cannot enter the exhaust rod 9, but the generated gas can be discharged from the mold cavity in a timely and effective manner through the exhaust rod 9, thereby reducing the porosity defects of the casting.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
