AI Technical Summary
Traditional axial flow fan core cooling structures suffer from problems such as reduced cooling cross-sectional area, smaller water flow, stagnant water, and uneven cooling effect, making it difficult to meet the runout requirements of high-precision products.
The design employs a ring-shaped cooling water channel, which forms a cooling water channel by setting grooves and ribs distributed inside and outside between the mold core assembly and the insert assembly. This eliminates the need for baffles and allows for direct assembly of the inserts, ensuring the connectivity and uniformity of the cooling water channel.
It improves cooling efficiency, reduces product shrinkage and deformation, controls product runout within 0.2-0.4mm, meets high precision requirements, and improves production stability and product quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of axial flow fan blade mold technology, and in particular to a cooling structure for an axial flow fan blade mold core. Background Technology
[0002] like Figures 10-12 As shown, the traditional axial flow fan core cooling structure uses four sets of φ14mm water wells 113 for cooling the front mold core 111 (fixed mold core) and the moving mold core 112. The problems with this cooling method are as follows: 1. A 2mm baffle is added between the water wells 113, reducing the cross-sectional area of cooling ((14-2) / 2=6mm single-sided cooling cross-sectional area) and water flow. 2. If the baffle is not properly assembled, stagnant water (non-flowing) will not be detected in the water wells 113, rendering the cooling holes ineffective and affecting product shrinkage and deformation. 3. The long cooling water path results in a large difference between the inlet and outlet, affecting cooling efficiency. Therefore, this cooling method is suitable for products with relatively loose runout requirements (e.g., runout controlled within 1.5mm), but not for products with high runout requirements (e.g., runout controlled within 0.5mm).
[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling structure for an axial flow fan blade mold core that is simple in structure, has high production efficiency, good cooling effect, good product quality, and strong practicality, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0005] A cooling structure for an axial flow fan blade mold core designed for this purpose is characterized by comprising a mold core assembly and an insert assembly disposed on the mold core assembly, wherein a cooling water channel for cooling the mold core assembly is provided between the mold core assembly and the insert assembly.
[0006] The mold core assembly includes a fixed mold core, and the insert assembly includes a first water-cooling insert, with a first cooling water channel formed between the fixed mold core and the first water-cooling insert.
[0007] The first cooling water channel is ring-shaped and distributed both internally and externally between the fixed mold core and the first water channel insert.
[0008] The fixed mold core is provided with a first groove distributed inside and outside, and the first water-transporting insert is provided with a first rib distributed inside and outside. The first rib is inserted into the first groove, and a first cooling water channel is formed between the first rib and the first groove.
[0009] The first water-carrying insert is provided with a first water inlet hole and a first water outlet hole distributed inside and outside respectively, and the first cooling water channel is connected to the first water inlet hole and the first water outlet hole respectively.
[0010] The mold core assembly also includes a moving mold core, and the insert assembly also includes a second water channel insert. The fixed mold core and the moving mold core cooperate with each other, and a second cooling water channel is formed between the moving mold core and the second water channel insert.
[0011] The second cooling water channel is ring-shaped and distributed both internally and externally between the moving mold core and the second water channel insert.
[0012] The moving mold core is provided with a second groove distributed inside and outside, and the second water-cooling insert is provided with a second rib distributed inside and outside. The second rib is inserted into the second groove, and a second cooling water channel is formed between the second rib and the second groove.
[0013] The second water-carrying insert is provided with a second water inlet and a second water outlet, which are respectively distributed inside and outside the insert. The second cooling water passage is connected to the second water inlet and the second water outlet.
[0014] The fixed mold core has several first concave-convex mating parts arranged in a ring, and the moving mold core has several second concave-convex mating parts arranged in a ring. The first concave-convex mating parts and the second concave-convex mating parts cooperate with each other; a forming cavity for forming axial flow fan blades is formed between the fixed mold core and the moving mold core.
[0015] This utility model's axial flow fan blade mold core cooling structure features an insert assembly on the mold core component, with a cooling water channel between the mold core component and the insert assembly for cooling the mold core component. Compared to traditional cooling solutions, assembly is simpler, requiring only direct assembly of the inserts without the need for baffles, saving fitter time and eliminating the possibility of stagnant water due to improper assembly. The cooling cross-sectional area is large, the water flow rate is high, and the cooling effect is uniform and effective. The cooling flow length ratio is lower than that of baffle-based cooling, ensuring thorough cooling of the mold core and reducing product shrinkage and deformation caused by temperature. Traditional cooling solutions result in a product runout value of around 1.2, while this solution, by modifying the cooling water flow method, controls the runout value to 0.2-0.4, meeting customer requirements and significantly improving production stability.
