[0002] As the die-casting process proceeds, the mold temperature will gradually rise. In order to maintain or reduce the temperature of various parts in the cavity, cooling pipes will be connected to the corresponding pins for cooling.

[0003] However, during the mold opening and closing process, factors such as unreasonable cooling system design, blockage and leakage of cooling water channels, or stress concentration during mold use can cause the cooling pin to break. If the broken cooling pin is not detected and production continues, high-pressure water will enter the mold cavity, and the molten aluminum will come into contact with the water, posing a risk of explosion.

[0004] Therefore, by developing a mold pin breakage air pressure detection device, the cooling pin is subjected to high-pressure cooling during mold closing and production. After the mold is opened and the workpiece is removed, the cooling pin is cleaned of residual water and the air pressure is detected in sequence. This realizes automatic cooling, residual water cleaning and air pressure detection of the cooling pin during the mold production process. While improving the cooling effect of the cooling pin, it can efficiently and accurately detect the breakage situation and avoid the risk of explosion caused by the aluminum liquid coming into contact with water due to the breakage during production.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a mold pin breakage air pressure detection device includes an air pressure detection component 1, a residual water cleaning component 2, and a plurality of cooling pins 5 disposed at the cooling position of the mold 4. The air pressure detection component 1 includes a first air inlet pipe 11 and a distributor 12.

[0030] The splitter 12 is provided with an air inlet 12a, a water outlet 12b and multiple connection ports 12c. The splitter 12 has a chamber 12d that communicates with the air inlet 12a, the water outlet 12b and the multiple connection ports 12c. The separator is provided with a first pressure sensor 6 for detecting the air pressure in the chamber 12d.

[0031] The outlet port 12b of the distributor 12 is provided with an outlet main pipe 7, and the outlet main pipe 7 is provided with a second valve 20;

[0032] One end of the first air intake pipe 11 is connected to the air intake interface 12a, and the other end is connected to the compressed air source 8. A first valve 10 is provided on the first air intake pipe 11.

[0033] The cooling pin 5 is provided with an inlet branch pipe 100 and an outlet branch pipe 200 respectively.

[0034] The other end of the inlet branch pipe 100 is connected to the cooling water inlet main pipe 300. A third valve 30 is installed on the inlet branch pipe 100. The other end of the outlet branch pipe 200 is connected to the connection port 12c.

[0035] One end of the residual water cleaning component 2 is connected to the compressed air source 8, and the other end is connected to the water inlet branch pipe 100. The residual water cleaning component 2 is used to clean the residual water in the water inlet branch pipe 100 and the cooling pin 5.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] Step 1 (Cooling): When mold 4 is closed and molten aluminum is injected, the cooling signal of mold 4 is given, the second valve 20 and the third valve 30 are opened, the first valve 10 is closed, and the high-pressure cooling water is diverted from the cooling water inlet main pipe 300 to each inlet branch pipe 100 and then enters the corresponding cooling pin 5 for cooling.

[0038] Step 2 (Residual Water Cleaning): After die casting is completed, mold 4 is opened and the workpiece is removed. The third valve 30 is closed, the residual water cleaning component 2 is started, and the compressed air source 8 blows air onto the cooling pin 5 through the water inlet branch pipe 100 to clean the residual water in the cooling pin 5. The residual water is discharged through the distributor 12 and the main water outlet pipe 7.

[0039] Step 3 (Air Pressure Detection): After the residual water cleaning is completed, the residual water cleaning component 2 stops, the second valve 20 closes, the first valve 10 opens, and a 0.6MPa compressed air source 8 is injected and the pressure is maintained for 5 seconds. Then, the first pressure sensor 6 detects whether the air pressure is above 0.55MPa. If the air pressure is lower than the set value, it is determined that a leak has occurred, that is, the cooling pin 5 has broken. At this time, the mold 4 is controlled to stop the die casting operation.

[0040] The above structure provides high-pressure cooling for the cooling pin 5 during mold 4 production. After the mold 4 is opened and the workpiece is removed, the cooling pin 5 is cleaned of residual water and tested for air pressure in sequence. This achieves automatic cooling, cleaning of residual water, and air pressure testing of the cooling pin 5 during the production process of mold 4. While improving the cooling effect of the cooling pin 5, it also efficiently and accurately detects the breakage of the pin, avoiding the risk of explosion caused by the aluminum liquid coming into contact with water if production continues with a broken pin.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the residual water cleaning assembly 2 includes a second air inlet pipe 21 and a fourth valve 22. The fourth valve 22 is disposed on the second air inlet pipe 21. One end of the second air inlet pipe 21 is connected to the compressed air source 8, and the other end is connected to each of the water inlet branch pipes 100 at a point between the third valve 30 and the cooling pin 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, after die casting is completed, the mold 4 is opened and the workpiece is removed. The third valve 30 is closed and the fourth valve 22 is opened. The compressed air source 8 blows air onto the cooling pin 5 through the second air inlet pipe 21 and the water inlet branch pipe 100 to clean the residual water inside the cooling pin 5. The residual water is discharged through the distributor 12 and the main water outlet pipe 7, thereby preventing the cooling pin 5 from being poorly cooled due to high temperature and vaporization caused by the residual water inside during the second mold closing process, thus improving the cooling effect of the cooling pin 5 on the mold 4.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to quickly and accurately detect broken cooling pins 5, a second pressure sensor 9 is respectively installed on each of the multiple water outlet branch pipes 200. The second pressure sensor 9 is used to monitor the air pressure of the water outlet branch pipes 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mold 4 is controlled by detecting whether there is a broken pin through the first pressure sensor 6. When a broken pin is detected, the location of the broken pin can be quickly and accurately located by the pressure value on the second pressure sensor 9. This is mainly for situations where the cooling pin 5 is broken but not directly disconnected and is not easily visible to the naked eye.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to realize the automatic control and monitoring of cooling pin 5 cooling, residual water cleaning and air pressure detection, a control module 40 is also included. The control module 40 is electrically connected to the first pressure sensor 6, the second pressure sensor 9, the first valve 10, the second valve 20, the third valve 30 and the residual water cleaning assembly 2.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to sensitively and reliably control the on / off state of each pipeline, the first valve 10, the second valve 20, and the third valve 30 are solenoid valves.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to allow users to quickly know about the stock shortage, the control module 40 is equipped with an alarm 50, which is a buzzer and / or a warning light.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate installation and save installation space, the multiple third valves 30 are integrated valve control groups.

[0049] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
