[0025] 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.

[0026] As attached Figures 1-5 The precision casting aluminum alloy tire mold with stepped venting groove shown includes a lower mold 1 and an upper mold 2. Mold cavities 3 are symmetrically opened on opposite sides of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2. The mold cavities 3 are used to form tires. A heating pipe 4 is opened in the middle of the lower mold 1 for convenient heating. Multiple first venting pipes 5 are opened inside the mold cavity 3 on one side of the upper mold 2. The inner cavity of the first venting pipe 5 is opened into the venting chamber 6. The gas in the mold cavity enters the venting chamber 6 through the first venting pipe 5 for convenient venting. Positioning pins 7 are symmetrically fixedly connected around the lower mold 1.

[0027] A threaded rod 8 is inserted into the top of the positioning post 7. A toggle rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 8. A limiting ring 10 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the threaded rod 8. An extrusion plate 11 is sleeved in the middle of the threaded rod 8. By rotating the toggle rod 9, the threaded rod 8 is screwed into the positioning post 7. The extrusion plate 11 gradually moves downward and presses the top of the upper mold 2, so as to achieve a tight fixation between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, prevent mold misalignment during the casting process, and ensure the forming accuracy of details such as tire tread.

[0028] The lower mold 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 12 and an air outlet pipe 13 on both sides respectively. The upper mold 2 is provided with a second exhaust pipe 14 symmetrically on both sides of the top. The middle of the first exhaust pipe 5 is provided with an exhaust baffle mechanism to facilitate air intake and exhaust. The exhaust baffle mechanism can facilitate exhaust while preventing rubber material from entering and causing blockage, making it convenient to use.

[0029] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper mold 2 has grooves around its perimeter corresponding to the positioning pins 7. One side of the positioning pins 7 is located inside the grooves. The extrusion plate 11 is located at the top of the upper mold 2. The threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the positioning pins 7. The extrusion plate 11 is located at the bottom of the limiting ring 10. The extrusion plate 11 is rotatably connected to the threaded rod 8. The inner cavities of the air inlet pipe 12 and the air outlet pipe 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the inner cavity of the heating pipe 4. The heating pipe 4 is located around the perimeter of the mold cavity 3 on one side of the lower mold 1. The inner cavity of the second exhaust pipe 14 is connected to the inner cavity of the exhaust chamber 6. The bottom ends of multiple first exhaust pipes 5 are distributed in a stepped manner inside the mold cavity 3 on one side of the upper mold 2. Through the air inlet... Heating medium such as hot oil or steam is introduced into pipe 12, circulates within heating pipe 4, and then flows out from vent pipe 13, achieving uniform heating of lower mold 1, thereby ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the mold cavity, ensuring uniform fluidization of the tire, reducing deformation and dimensional deviation. During fluidization, the gas in the mold cavity first enters the venting chamber 6 of the first vent pipe 5. Since the first vent pipe 5 is stepped, the gas can be discharged sequentially from low to high, avoiding local accumulation of gas. The stepped design increases the length of the venting path and the space for gas discharge, allowing the gas to be discharged from the mold cavity more smoothly.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the exhaust baffle mechanism includes an installation pipe 15 fixed in the middle of the first exhaust pipe 5. A perforated plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the installation pipe 15. A fixing ring 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the installation pipe 15. An exhaust passage hole 18 is opened in the middle of the fixing ring 16. A fixing rod 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 16. A lifting plate 20 is sleeved in the middle of the fixing rod 19. A sealing column 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 20. The bottom end of the sealing column 21 is inserted into the interior of the exhaust passage hole 18 and fits tightly against the inner cavity of the exhaust passage hole 18. A limit plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 19. A spring 23 is sleeved in the middle of the fixing rod 19. Spring 23 is set between lifting plate 20 and limiting plate 22. Lifting plate 20 and fixed rod 19 are slidably connected by slider and groove. Gas enters between perforated plate 17 and fixed ring 16 through small hole in the middle of perforated plate 17, pushing the sealing column 21 in the middle of exhaust hole 18 upward, so that the sealing column 21 moves upward, thereby controlling the lifting plate 20 to squeeze spring 23. At this time, gas will completely enter the interior of first exhaust pipe 5 through exhaust hole 18 and be discharged through exhaust chamber 6. At the same time, when the outer wall of the tire is tightly attached to the inner wall of mold cavity 3, the rubber on the surface of the tire can be prevented from entering the interior of first exhaust pipe 5 during tire fluidization, thus improving the performance.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the tire is inflated and placed in the middle of the mold cavity 3. Then, the upper mold 2 is placed on top of the lower mold 1 and positioned by the positioning pin 7 and the groove. Then, the toggle rod 9 is rotated to control the threaded rod 8 to rotate so that the limiting ring 10 presses against the extrusion plate 11, thereby pressing the upper mold 2 and improving the mold closing strength of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1.

[0032] When the upper mold 2 presses downward to compress the tire inside the mold cavity 3, the residual gas inside the mold cavity 3 will enter the interior of the exhaust cavity 6 through the middle of multiple mounting pipes 15 via the first exhaust pipe 5 and be discharged through the second exhaust pipe 14, thereby improving the exhaust quality.

[0033] Then, high-temperature gas is injected into the heating pipe 4 through the air inlet pipe 12 to heat and fluidize the tire inside the lower mold 1, thereby improving the performance.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
