[0026] The shunt hole 3 includes the main hole 31 that is communicated with the side of the mould hole 6, the auxiliary hole 32 that is communicated with the corner of the mould hole 6, the area of the distribution groove 8 towards the auxiliary hole 32 accounts for the same proportion of the cross-sectional area of the auxiliary hole 32 as the area of the distribution groove 8 towards the main hole 31 accounts for the cross-sectional area of the main hole 31.
[0027] The main hole 31 and the auxiliary hole 32 are provided with a connection surface 10 which expands from the center to the edge.
[0028] The aperture of the outlet end of the die hole 6 is larger than that of the inlet end.
[0029] The specific working process and principle of the utility model are as follows:
[0030] In use, the extruded aluminum material passes through the main hole 31, the auxiliary hole 32 and the back hole 9, wherein the aluminum material in the main hole 31 enters the welding chamber 7 under the guidance of the curved surface 51 in the die core 5, and enters the die hole 6 along the distribution groove 8 of the lower die 2, and is formed under the extrusion of the gap between the die core 5 and the die hole 6, at the same time, the auxiliary hole 32 enters the welding chamber 7, and the aluminum material discharged from the main hole 31 is fused in the distribution groove 8, and the die hole 6 towards the auxiliary hole 32 is filled and extruded, the aluminum material is gathered through the large cross-section end 92 of the back hole 9, and then enters the small cross-section end 91, and is distributed to the discharge hole 52 at the bottom of the small cross-section end 91, and is fused and extruded with the aluminum material passing through the main hole 31 and the auxiliary hole 32 in the discharge hole 52, so as to realize the extrusion forming of the aluminum material in the whole profile.
[0031] The area of the distribution groove 8 towards the auxiliary hole 32 accounts for the same proportion of the cross-sectional area of the auxiliary hole 32 as the area of the distribution groove 8 towards the main hole 31 accounts for the cross-sectional area of the main hole 31, so that when the aluminum material is fused and extruded in the distribution groove 8, the pressure of the aluminum material on the lower die 2 is balanced, the fusion and extrusion forming effect of the aluminum material is good, and the stress concentration of the lower die 2 during extrusion operation is avoided, and the service life of the die is improved.
[0032] The back hole 9 includes the small cross-section end 91 communicated with the discharge hole 52, and the large cross-section end 92 arranged on one side of the upper die 1, and the other side of the die core 5 is provided with the discharge hole 52 communicated with the back hole 9, and the discharge hole 52 is communicated with the distribution groove 8, when the aluminum material is extruded, the crushing pressure of the aluminum bar is reduced through the large cross-section end 92, so that the aluminum material is more easily entered into the back hole 9, the stress concentration of the upper die 1 during extrusion of the aluminum material is avoided, the aluminum material is extruded and fused through the small cross-section end 91, the flow control of the aluminum material is more accurate, and the forming quality of the profile is improved.
[0033] The edge of the large cross-section end 92, the large cross-section end 92 and the small cross-section end 91, and the bottom of the small cross-section end 91 are all provided with a round corner, and the main hole 31 and the auxiliary hole 32 are both provided with a connection surface 10 which expands from the center to the edge, so as to reduce the concentrated stress of the aluminum material on the upper die 1 when flowing, reduce the die wear and maintenance cost, the flow of the aluminum material is more uniform, and the quality defect of the aluminum profile is reduced.
[0034] The aperture of the outlet end of the die hole 6 is larger than that of the inlet end, which relieves the high pressure impact of the aluminum material, reduces the risk of blockage when the aluminum alloy profile is discharged, reduces the adhesion probability of the aluminum material to the surface of the die at high temperature, and thus reduces the generation of granular burrs.
[0035] Although the prior art is improved by adding a flow cone, optimizing the depth of the welding chamber 7, etc., but still cannot systematically coordinate the contradiction between metal flow, pressure distribution and structural strength. The extrusion die with multi-stage flow regulation, stress dissipation and welding strengthening designed by the scheme can realize high uniformity material flow and stable forming, and meet the high efficient and precise manufacturing requirements of complex aluminum alloy profiles. It also solves the following problems: the unreasonable layout of the shunt hole 3 leads to too large rate difference of metal flowing through each channel, the lack of material and shrinkage mark is caused by filling lag at the corner of the profile; the volume of the welding chamber 7 and the shunt ratio are not matched, the laminar metal cannot be fully diffused and combined at the intersection interface, visible welding lines are formed, and the mechanical properties of the product are reduced; the stress concentration effect is caused by the right angle design of the root of the die core 5, the fatigue crack propagation rate of the die is accelerated; the extrusion pressure fluctuates sharply, and the bamboo pattern or size out-of-tolerance appears on the surface of the profile.
[0036] The technical features not described in the utility model can be realized by or using the prior art, which will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the utility model, and the utility model is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or replacements made by ordinary skilled in the art within the essential scope of the utility model should also be within the protection scope of the utility model.
