Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mold body consists of an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The mold body is made of high-strength, heat-resistant alloy steel to improve the mold's heat resistance and service life. The upper and lower molds are mounted on four vertically arranged guide rods. A hydraulic drive assembly is installed on the top of the guide rods, and the output end of the hydraulic drive assembly is connected to the top of the upper mold. A double-spiral cooling channel 4 is provided inside the mold body, distributed along the surface of the cavity 3 of the mold body. The cooling channel 4 includes a first cooling channel 41 and a second cooling channel 42 respectively located in the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, and respectively connected to the cooling medium inlet 5 and the cooling medium outlet 6 outside the mold body. The cooling medium inlet 5 and cooling medium outlet 6 are respectively located on the sides of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. The first cooling channel 41 and the second cooling channel 42 are connected on the parting surface of the cavity 3 through the docking structure 7. The cooling medium enters the cooling channel through the inlet, flows through the upper mold and the lower mold, and is discharged from the outlet on the side of the lower mold through the docking structure, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the mold. By effectively controlling the mold temperature, thermal fatigue damage and deformation are reduced, and the service life of the mold is extended. The uniform cooling effect helps to reduce the internal stress of the forging, improve the forming accuracy and surface quality of the forging, and the cooling channel can be customized to adapt to forging molds of different shapes.

[0020] The first cooling channel 41 and the second cooling channel 42 have the same structure. The first cooling channel 41 includes a main channel 411 connected to the cooling medium inlet 5. Below the main channel 411 are branch channels 412 distributed on the outside of the cavity 3. The branch channels 412 are two sets of spiral structures equidistant from the outer contour of the cavity 3. The spiral cooling channel structure allows the cooling medium to fully contact the mold, achieving a highly efficient and uniform cooling effect. In this embodiment, the cavity is a rounded rectangular structure. The cooling channel, viewed from above, is a rounded rectangular structure with a size larger than the cavity. The cooling channel structure can be customized according to different cavity shapes to ensure cooling efficiency and uniformity. The outlet of the branch channel 412 is connected to the docking structure 7 and is respectively located on the left and right sides of the cavity 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first cooling channel 41 and the second cooling channel 42 is circular. The elliptical shape of the cooling channels can increase the contact area with the mold. Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the cooling channel is provided with a micro-protrusion structure 8 to enhance the turbulence effect and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0022] Temperature sensors are installed at the cooling medium inlet 5, cooling medium outlet 6, and cavity 3 to monitor the mold temperature in real time. The channel control system adjusts the flow rate and temperature of the cooling medium to achieve intelligent management of the cooling process and improve production efficiency.

[0023] The cooling channel 4 is connected to the external pipeline by a quick-connect type, which facilitates mold maintenance and replacement. The external pipeline is connected to the pump body to deliver the cooling medium.

[0024] The docking structure 7 adopts a self-locking quick connector, including a female connector 71 set on the upper mold 1 and a male connector 72 set on the lower mold 2 that matches the female connector 71. The male connector 72 and the female connector 71 are vertically aligned. The self-locking quick connector achieves self-locking after separation to prevent leakage of cooling medium. The specific structure is an existing technical solution and is not disclosed in this application.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the forging process, the high-temperature workpiece after calcination is placed in the cavity of the lower die, and the die temperature rises rapidly. The forging frequency and forging amplitude are adjusted according to the control system and the drive mechanism. The docking structure of the upper and lower dies is periodically connected. The cooling medium enters the first cooling channel from the cooling medium inlet, enters the two sets of spiral branch channels along the main channel, flows along the channel and absorbs the heat of the die. During the docking process, the male connector and the female connector are plugged in to connect the first cooling channel and the second cooling channel. Finally, the cooling medium is discharged from the cooling medium outlet. By monitoring the die temperature in real time, the control system can dynamically adjust the flow rate and temperature of the cooling medium to ensure that the die temperature is always within a reasonable range.

[0026] Several points need to be clarified: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
