Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of die casting molding, and more specifically to a shell mold. Background Technology
[0002] The core characteristics of die casting are high pressure and high speed. This allows liquid or semi-liquid metal to quickly fill the mold cavity and cool and solidify under high pressure, thus ensuring the density and surface finish of the parts. Die casting can produce parts with thin walls and complex shapes, such as automobile engine blocks and instrument housings. However, when die casting a shell, the fluid material is generally injected into the mold through a single filling hole and a single flow path. It is not possible to flow the die casting fluid material into the cavity of the shell from two positions to form a shell with ribs in the middle in one step. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a shell mold in which the fluid raw material for die casting can flow into the cavity of the molded shell from two positions to form a shell with ribs in the middle in one step.

The movable mold has a casting block corresponding to the casting hole. The fixed mold has a forming cavity I. The movable mold has a protrusion I corresponding to the forming cavity I. The movable mold and the casting block have two communicating feeding cavities. The protrusion I has a forming groove in its middle. Two forming rods II are slidably connected to the protrusion I. The movable mold has a pair of guide blocks. The two guide blocks have corresponding slides. An inclined moving block that pushes the forming rods II is slidably connected in the two slides. The movable mold has a slag-filled cavity communicating with the forming cavity I.
[0006] Preferably, the fixed mold is provided with an inclined cavity, and the inclined moving block is provided with an inclined block coupled to the inclined cavity.
[0007] Preferably, the fixed mold is provided with a slanted rod, and the slanted moving block is provided with a slanted hole coupled to the slanted rod.
[0008] Preferably, the fixed mold is provided with multiple rectangular slots, and the inclined moving block is provided with a rectangular block coupled to the multiple rectangular slots.
[0009] Preferably, the fixed mold is provided with multiple positioning rods at the four corners, and the moving mold is provided with positioning holes that are coupled to the multiple positioning rods.
[0010] Preferably, the fixed mold is provided with a plurality of forming rods I located in the forming cavity I, and the moving mold is provided with forming rods IV coupled to the plurality of forming rods I.
[0011] Preferably, the end faces of the fixed mold and the moving mold that are coupled together are both stepped surfaces.
[0012] Preferably, the axes of the two forming rods II are at an acute angle to the coupling end face of the moving mold.
[0013] Preferably, when the fixed mold and the moving mold are coupled, the end faces of the two forming rods II are in contact with the fixed mold.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] Example 1: See details Figures 1 to 13 This describes the process of forming the shell.
[0033] A housing includes an outer shell 01, with through holes I 02 formed in one piece at each of the four corners of the outer shell 01, and a rib 03 formed in one piece at the middle of the outer shell 01. The other end of the outer shell 01 away from the multiple through holes I 02 is a curved surface, on which two through holes II 04 are formed in one piece. The aluminum casting of the housing is performed using a housing mold, which includes a fixed mold 11 with casting holes 12 at its lower part and a movable mold 21 corresponding to the fixed mold 11. The movable mold 21 is provided with casting blocks 22 corresponding to the casting holes 12, and the fixed mold 11 is provided with forming blocks. Cavity I14, the moving mold 21 is provided with a protrusion I24 corresponding to the forming cavity I14, the moving mold 21 and the casting block 22 are provided with two connected feeding cavities 41, the protrusion I24 is provided with a forming groove 42 in the middle, and two forming rods II29 are slidably connected to the protrusion I24, the moving mold 21 is provided with a pair of guide blocks 31, the two guide blocks 31 are provided with corresponding slides 33, and the two slides 33 are slidably connected with inclined moving blocks 32 that push the forming rods II29 to move, and the moving mold 21 is provided with a slag-filled cavity 43 that communicates with the forming cavity I14. The fixed mold 11 is provided with multiple forming rods I18 located in the forming cavity I14, and the moving mold 21 is provided with forming rods IV28 coupled to the multiple forming rods I18.
[0034] When casting the aluminum shell, the moving mold 21 is first driven by a power source to slide linearly and couple with the fixed mold 11. The moving mold 21 drives the casting block 22 to move and insert into the casting hole 12. The casting block 22 is a rod-shaped piece with a variable diameter, which can add molten casting material through the casting hole 12. The fluid material is pushed from the casting hole 12 into the forming cavity I 14 by rapid pushing. The cavity between the forming cavity I 14 and the protrusion I 24 is used to form the shell 01, and the forming groove 42 is used to form the rib 03, which enhances the strength of the shell 01.
[0035] Fluid raw material flows through casting hole 12 and two feeding chambers 41 into molding chamber I14 to form the shell. The fluid raw material required at one end of the multiple through holes I02 on the shell 01 is much greater than that at the other end. The setting of two feeding chambers 41 can ensure that when the fluid raw material enters the molding chamber I14 and couples with the protrusion I24 to form the cavity of the shell, the fluid raw material is quickly supplied to one end of the multiple through holes I02. Then the fluid raw material is supplied from the bottom up and flows synchronously from both sides to the molding groove 42 until the molding groove 42 is filled and the rib 03 is formed. This prevents the rib 03 from being incompletely formed due to uneven or slow fluid raw material supply, which would result in the shell not meeting the standards and requirements.
[0036] The two feeding chambers 41 ensure that the fluid material fills the cavity of the forming cavity I14 and the protrusion I24 after coupling, and is used to form the shell. This ensures that the fluid material cools and solidifies as synchronously as possible, reducing the large temperature difference in different parts of the formed shell caused by slow fluid material supply, which would affect the forming quality of the shell. When the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11, the two forming rods II29 fit into the forming cavity I14 on the fixed mold 11. The two forming rods II29 are used to form two through holes II04, which can be formed in one step with higher precision. This eliminates the need for subsequent drilling of the shell and speeds up the shell processing.
[0037] When the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11, the two guide blocks 31 slide on the slide rail 33 to push the two forming rods II 29, ensuring that the two forming rods II 29 fit with the forming cavity I 14. After the forming is completed, when the shell is pushed out, the two guide blocks 31 can be reset under the drive of external force, preparing for the next forming process.
[0038] When the moving mold 21 linearly slides and couples with the fixed mold 11, multiple forming rods I 18 and multiple forming rods IV 28 are coupled to form multiple through holes I 02, thereby forming the outer shell 01, its multiple through holes I 02, the internal rib plate 03, and two through holes II 04 in one step. This process forms a complex shell, speeds up the shell processing, and enables high-precision, high-speed shell production. Multiple slag cavities 43 are used to hold slag ladles, which filter impurities and oxides and can discharge gases generated during the aluminum melt flow, reducing defects such as porosity.
[0039] Example 2: See details Figures 7 to 9 This describes the process by which the driving guide block 31 slides on the slide rail 33 to push the two forming rods II29 to fit into the forming cavity I14 to form the forming through hole II04 when the moving mold 21 is coupled with the fixed mold 11.
[0040] The fixed mold 11 is provided with an inclined cavity 15, and the inclined block 32 is provided with an inclined block 25 coupled to the inclined cavity 15. The fixed mold 11 is provided with an inclined rod 16, and the inclined block 32 is provided with an inclined hole 26 coupled to the inclined rod 16. When the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11, the inclined block 25 slides into the inclined cavity 15. During the linear sliding of the moving mold 21, the inclined cavity 15 guides the inclined block 25 and limits the sliding direction of the inclined block 25. The inclined rod 16 is inserted into the inclined hole 26, and the inclined rod 16 limits the sliding direction of the inclined block 32, so that the movement of the inclined block 32 and the inclined block 25 are consistent. This ensures that when the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11, the inclined block 32 and the inclined block 25 move along a predetermined trajectory to push the two forming rods II 29 so that the two forming rods II 29 fit into the forming cavity I 14, preparing for the forming of the two through holes II 04.
[0041] Example 3: See details Figure 4 and 7 Section 9 explains the process of increasing positioning accuracy when the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11;
[0042] The fixed mold 11 is provided with multiple rectangular slots 17, and the inclined moving block 32 is provided with rectangular blocks 27 coupled to the multiple rectangular slots 17. When the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11, the coupling is achieved by inserting the multiple rectangular blocks 27 into the multiple rectangular slots 17, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the coupling between the molding cavity I14 and the protrusion I24 and improving the accuracy of the molding process.
[0043] Example 4: See details Figures 4 to 9 This explains the process of increasing positioning accuracy when the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11;
[0044] The fixed mold 11 is provided with multiple positioning rods 13 at its four corners, and the moving mold 21 is provided with positioning holes 23 that are coupled to the multiple positioning rods 13.
[0045] Thus, when the moving mold 21 slides linearly, multiple positioning rods 13 are first inserted into multiple positioning holes 23 for initial positioning. Then, as the moving mold 21 continues to slide linearly, multiple rectangular blocks 27 are inserted into multiple rectangular slots 17 to achieve coupling and further positioning. The multiple positioning rods 13 can be set to a gradually changing shape with the end diameter smaller than the root diameter. As the moving mold 21 slides linearly, the multiple positioning holes 23 gradually fit onto the root of the multiple positioning rods 13, gradually increasing the positioning accuracy and ensuring the precision of the formed shell.
[0046] Example 5: See details Figures 4 to 9 This explains the process of increasing positioning accuracy when the moving mold 21 slides linearly and couples with the fixed mold 11;
[0047] The end faces of the fixed mold 11 and the moving mold 21 that are coupled together are both stepped surfaces.
[0048] This ensures that after the moving mold 21 slides linearly to the point where multiple positioning rods 13 and multiple positioning holes 23 are coupled, the stepped surface of the fixed mold 11 is coupled with the stepped surface of the moving mold 21. This enhances the accuracy of the coupling between the forming cavity I 14 and the protrusion I 24. At the same time, the coupling of the stepped surface relative to the plane can play a similar role to clamping, ensuring the accuracy of the coupling between the fixed mold 11 and the moving mold 21, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the coupling between the forming cavity I 14 and the protrusion I 24 and improving the precision of the formed shell.
[0049] Example 6: See details Figures 9 to 13 This describes the process by which two forming rods II29 form two through holes II04 on the curved surface of the outer shell 01, away from the other end of the multiple through holes I02;
[0050] The axes of the two forming rods II29 are both at an acute angle to the coupling end face of the moving mold 21, so that the axes of the two forming rods II29 are at an angle to the axes of multiple through holes I02, thus forming multiple through holes I02 with axes perpendicular to the coupling surface of the moving mold 21, and two through holes II04 with axes not perpendicular to the coupling surface of the moving mold 21 in one step.
[0051] Example 7: See details Figure 7 , 8 13, which describes the process of forming two through holes II04;
[0052] The fixed mold 11 is provided with a forming rod Ⅲ that is coupled to the two forming rods Ⅱ29 into a cylindrical shape. Thus, when the fixed mold 11 and the moving mold 21 are coupled, the two forming rods Ⅱ29 and the two forming rods Ⅲ are coupled into a complete cylindrical shape. The two through holes Ⅱ04 are formed through the coupled cylindrical shape. Alternatively, a circular groove coupled to the two forming rods Ⅱ29 can be provided on the fixed mold 11. The ends of the two forming rods Ⅱ29 are inserted into the circular groove so that the complete cylindrical part is used to form the two through holes Ⅱ04.

The scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
