Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the advocacy of high-quality industrial development, the demand for alloys is becoming increasingly strong. In some metal smelting processes, it is necessary to separate impurities from molten metal. The separated molten metal is then poured into a cooling mold for cooling and solidification, and the cooled metal product is then subjected to other processes.

[0003] A search revealed that patent publication number CN216758135U discloses a molten metal cooling mold. The molten metal cooling mold includes: a first mold base, a second mold base, a fixing component, and an extraction component; both the first mold base and the second mold base are grooves with one open end, the grooves of the first mold base and the second mold base are aligned, and the first mold base and the second mold base are detachably connected by the fixing component; the extraction component includes a fixing part and a pulling part, the fixing part being movably installed on the inner surface of the groove of the first mold base or the second mold base, and the pulling part protruding from the fixing part. The molten metal cooling mold can quickly and easily separate the product from the mold. In the process of developing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology:

[0004] Existing cooling molds face various complex working conditions during actual production. Different molding materials may have different chemical and physical properties. The high temperature and pressure generated during the molding process of some materials may cause wear or deformation of the cooling pipes. In addition, during long-term continuous use, the cooling pipes will inevitably experience aging and wear. If the cooling medium flows in the pipe for a long time, it will erode the inner wall of the pipe, causing the pipe wall to become thinner. Furthermore, the connection between the pipe and other parts of the mold may become loose or cracked due to repeated thermal expansion and contraction. This may require the entire mold to be disassembled for maintenance, repair, or replacement, causing inconvenience.

[0005] Therefore, a conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipes is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conformal cooling mold with an internal cooling pipe, comprising an outer mold body, a right inner mold, a left inner mold, and a spiral conformal cooling pipe. The bottom of the outer mold body is provided with a base, the spiral conformal cooling pipe is installed on the inner surface of the outer mold body, the right inner mold is located on the right side of the inner cavity of the spiral conformal cooling pipe, the left inner mold is located on the left side of the inner cavity of the spiral conformal cooling pipe, a limiting groove is provided on the left edge of the right inner mold, and a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the right edge of the left inner mold.

[0008] An inlet pipe is provided at the upper left side of the outer mold body, and an outlet pipe is provided at the right side of the inner cavity of the base. A spiral base plate is installed on the upper end face of the base. Handles are welded to one side of the upper end face of the right inner mold and the left inner mold, and the inner surfaces of the right inner mold and the left inner mold are coated with an anti-stick coating.

[0009] Preferably, the right inner mold and the left inner mold form a set of inner mold structures, and the outer mold body and the base form a set of outer mold structures.

[0010] Preferably, the right inner mold is mirrored with the left inner mold, and the limiting groove abuts against the snap-fit ​​block.

[0011] Preferably, the left inner mold is inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting groove through the snap-fit ​​block and then abuts against the right inner mold.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe is connected to the liquid inlet pipe, the end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe away from the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the spiral base, and the end of the spiral base away from the spiral conformal cooling pipe is connected to the liquid outlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the two sets of handles are symmetrically arranged, and the anti-stick coating is made of aluminum oxide.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Compared with the existing technology, the conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipe has a separate design of inner mold structure and spiral conformal cooling pipe. After the inner mold structure and workpiece are removed as a whole, the spiral conformal cooling pipe is fully exposed, which makes it easy for operators to conduct a comprehensive inspection. They can intuitively observe whether there are wear, cracks and leaks on the surface of the cooling inner pipe, and promptly discover potential safety hazards and faults so as to take corresponding maintenance measures and prevent the problem from deteriorating further.

[0016] 2. Compared with existing technologies, the conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipes has a split design, which makes it easier to clean the internal cooling pipes and maintain the external cooling pipes after they are exposed. Professional tools and equipment can be used to thoroughly clean the outer surface of the cooling pipes to remove impurities accumulated over long-term use. If the cooling pipes are found to be damaged, they can be disassembled and replaced more easily, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance and improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0022] 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. Example 1

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipe includes an outer mold body 1, a right inner mold 3, a left inner mold 4, and a spiral conformal cooling pipe 8. A base 2 is provided at the bottom of the outer mold body 1. The spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 is installed on the inner surface of the outer mold body 1. The right inner mold 3 is located on the right side of the inner cavity of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8, and the left inner mold 4 is located on the left side of the inner cavity of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8. The right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 form a set of inner mold structures. The outer mold body 1 and the base 2 form a set of outer mold structures. A limit groove 5 is provided on the left edge of the right inner mold 3, and a snap-fit ​​block 6 is provided on the right edge of the left inner mold 4.

[0024] An inlet pipe 7 is provided on the upper left side of the outer mold body 1, and an outlet pipe 10 is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the base 2. A spiral base plate 9 is installed on the upper end face of the base 2. A handle 11 is welded to one side of the upper end face of the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4, and the inner surfaces of the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 are coated with an anti-stick coating 12.

[0025] The outer mold body 1 serves as the main external structure of the mold, providing the external contour and spatial constraints for the entire molding process. The base 2, located at the bottom of the outer mold body 1, provides stable support for the entire mold structure, ensuring that the mold will not shake or tilt during use, thus guaranteeing the stability and precision of the molding process. The spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 adopts a spiral conformal design, which can more closely conform to the shape inside the mold and the contour of the workpiece, allowing the cooling medium to be distributed more evenly around the mold, improving cooling efficiency, reducing cooling time, and thus improving production efficiency. The right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 together form the inner mold structure, used to mold the internal shape and size of the product, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the product's internal structure. The limiting groove 5 and the snap-fit ​​block 6 cooperate with each other to... The relative positions of the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 are accurately defined to ensure precise alignment during mold closing. The inlet pipe 7 is used to introduce the cooling medium into the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8, while the outlet pipe 10 is used to discharge the cooling medium after the cooling process. Together, they form a circulation channel for the cooling medium, realizing the continuous cooling function of the mold. The shape and structure of the spiral base plate 9 may help guide the cooling medium to form a more reasonable flow path at the bottom of the mold, further improving the uniformity and stability of the cooling effect. The handle 11 facilitates workers to carry, install, and disassemble the inner mold. The anti-stick coating 12 effectively prevents the molding material from sticking to the inner surfaces of the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 during the cooling process, ensuring that the product can be smoothly removed from the mold during demolding. Example 2

[0026] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown below, see details:

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 form an inner mold structure, and the outer mold body 1 and the base 2 form an outer mold structure. Furthermore, during demolding, the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 can separate from the product from different directions. Compared with an integral inner mold, this provides a more flexible demolding method, helps reduce demolding resistance, and avoids damage to the product. The outer mold body 1 and the base 2 combine to form a stable external frame structure, which can withstand various forces such as internal pressure and cooling stress during the molding process, ensuring that the mold will not deform or crack during use, guaranteeing the overall structural strength and stability of the mold, and thus providing a reliable external environment for product molding.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the left inner mold 4 abuts against the right inner mold 3 after being inserted into the cavity of the limiting groove 5 via the snap-fit ​​block 6. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​block 6 and the limiting groove 5 set a precise positioning standard for the left inner mold 4 and the right inner mold 3. As long as the snap-fit ​​block 6 is accurately inserted into the limiting groove 5, it can be ensured that the left inner mold 4 and the right inner mold 3 are in the correct positions in both the horizontal and vertical directions. After the snap-fit ​​block 6 is inserted into the limiting groove 5, a tight connection is formed between the left inner mold 4 and the right inner mold 3.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 7, the end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 away from the liquid inlet pipe 7 is connected to the spiral base plate 9, and the end of the spiral base plate 9 away from the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 10. Furthermore, the external cooling medium enters the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 from the liquid inlet pipe 7 and fully exchanges heat with the mold during the flow in the pipe, absorbing the heat of the mold. One end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 7, and the other end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 10 through the spiral base plate 9, forming a complete and smooth cooling circulation system, ensuring that the cooling medium can continuously circulate.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the two sets of handles 11 are symmetrically arranged, and the anti-stick coating 12 is made of alumina. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the handles 11 allows the operator to apply force more evenly with both hands, so that the mold is subjected to balanced force during operation. The anti-stick coating 12 made of alumina has the characteristics of low surface energy, which can effectively prevent the mold from sticking to the molding material, making it easier for the product to be ejected from the mold after molding, reducing demolding time and demolding force, improving production efficiency, and at the same time avoiding product surface damage or deformation caused by adhesion.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the outer mold body 1 and the base 2 form an outer mold structure. The outer mold body 1 provides the external contour and space restriction, and the base 2 provides stable support. The two are combined to form a stable external frame. The right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 form an inner mold structure, which is used to form the internal shape and size of the product. The left inner mold 4 abuts against each other after being inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 5 of the right inner mold 3 by the snap-fit ​​block 6. The snap-fit ​​block 6 and the limiting groove 5 set a precise positioning standard for the two, ensuring that they are in the correct position in both the horizontal and vertical directions, forming a tight connection, and ensuring that they can be accurately connected during the mold closing process.

[0032] During cooling, the external cooling medium enters the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 from the inlet pipe 7. The spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 adopts a spiral conformal design, which can more closely fit the internal shape of the mold and the contour of the workpiece. During the flow of the cooling medium in the pipe, it fully exchanges heat with the mold and absorbs the heat of the mold. The spiral base 9 guides the cooling medium to form a more reasonable spiral flow path at the bottom of the outer mold body 1. Then, through the spiral base 9 connected to the end of the spiral conformal cooling pipe 8 away from the inlet pipe 7, it flows to the outlet pipe 10, forming a complete and smooth cooling circulation system. This ensures that the cooling medium can circulate continuously and realize the continuous cooling function of the mold. The worker applies force through the handle 11 and uses the symmetrical handle 11 to make the force even, separating the right inner mold 3 and the left inner mold 4 from the product from different directions. Due to the low surface energy characteristics of the alumina material anti-stick coating 12, the adhesion between the product and the inner mold surface is effectively reduced, the demolding resistance is reduced, and the product can be smoothly removed from the mold. The above is the working principle of this conformal cooling mold with built-in cooling pipe.
