They plastically deform aluminum into specific structural parts through processes such as extrusion, stamping, forging, or injection molding. Their core design needs to balance hardness, toughness, and thermal conductivity. They are manufactured using high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant materials such as H13 steel, tungsten steel, and beryllium copper, and incorporate key technologies such as fluid dynamics simulation to optimize flow channels, dynamic feeding compensation algorithms to control wall thickness deviation, and nano-level surface polishing to reduce the coefficient of friction. They are widely used in the efficient mass production of complex structural parts such as lightweight automotive battery trays, precision housings for 3C electronics, special-shaped profiles for building curtain walls, and high-strength load-bearing frames for aerospace. They are the core process equipment to ensure the dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties of aluminum products. Aluminum processing molds occupy an important position in the metal products manufacturing industry. As a key component to ensure the processing accuracy and forming quality of aluminum materials, their design and performance have a decisive impact on the overall quality of products and production efficiency.

This design improves the accuracy of aluminum processing by optimizing the position of the guide assembly and the design of the impact mold.

[0004] Especially in the core process of aluminum stamping, existing aluminum processing dies have gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems when handling aluminum materials of specific shapes and sizes. Specifically, while existing aluminum processing equipment has solved the problem of misalignment during stamping and improved the accuracy of aluminum processing, traditional dies have limited functionality, particularly inadequate in timely cooling, thus affecting the forming rate of aluminum. Therefore, in response to the many shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an innovative aluminum processing die to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum processing mold that solves the problem of existing molds having limited functionality, especially in terms of timely cooling, which affects the forming rate of aluminum materials.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an aluminum material processing mold, including a frame, and a mold fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the frame by bolts, and a top frame fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 An aluminum processing mold includes a frame 1, and a mold 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the frame 1 by bolts. Top frames 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame 1. Support rods 3 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two top frames 2, and fans 4 are sleeved on one end of each support rod 3. A drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the two top frames 2 by bolts. A connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected between the two top frames 2, and one end of the connecting rod 5 passes through one of the two top frames 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6. One end of each support rod 3 is connected to both ends of the connecting rod 5 by a belt 8. Several heat-conducting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mold 9, and a water tank 14 is opened inside the mold 9.

[0023] When using this innovative aluminum processing mold for aluminum forming, the aluminum material to be cast is first placed into the mold 9 for forming. The mold 9 is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts to ensure its stability and precision. Top frames 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1, and support rods 3 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two top frames 2. A fan 4 is fitted onto one end of each support rod 3. After the aluminum material is formed in the mold 9, a certain amount of water is added to a water tank 14 inside the mold 9 to accelerate the cooling process. Heat is conducted through several heat-conducting plates 13 fixed around the outer wall of the mold 9, allowing the heat to dissipate rapidly through the water and the heat-conducting plates 13. Simultaneously, the drive motor 6 is started, driving the connecting rod 5 to rotate via a transmission connection. This, in turn, drives the two support rods 3 and their fans 4 via a belt 8, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the mold 9 and the material within it.

[0024] Furthermore, a drain valve 11 is installed at the lower part of the mold 9, and the inlet of the drain valve 11 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 14. One end of the drain valve 11 penetrates the side wall of the frame 1. A door 10 is connected to the outer side of the frame 1 via a hinge. After the aluminum material has cooled, the water in the water tank 14 can be drained by opening the drain valve 11. At the same time, the design of the door 10 facilitates the cleaning or maintenance of the mold 9, achieving the effects of rapid drainage, easy cleaning and maintenance, thereby improving the efficiency of the equipment and reducing the risk of corrosion caused by water residue.

[0025] Furthermore, connecting pipes 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the water tank 14, and one side of each connecting pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two top frames 2. Several water outlet pipes 16 are connected to the bottom of each connecting pipe 15. Cooling water can flow into the connecting pipes 15 through the inlet pipe 17 and be evenly distributed to the outer wall of the mold 9 through the outlet pipes 16, ensuring that the cooling water can fully cover the surface of the mold 9 to improve cooling efficiency. This achieves the effect of optimizing water flow distribution and improving cooling uniformity, avoiding problems such as localized overheating or uneven cooling.

[0026] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe 17 is provided on one side of the frame 1, and the two ends of the water inlet pipe 17 are respectively connected to one end of two connecting pipes 15. Cooling water can be continuously input into the connecting pipes 15 through the water inlet pipe 17 to form a stable water circulation system, providing continuous cooling capacity for the mold 9, achieving the effect of efficient water cooling circulation and reducing cooling time, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling process.

[0027] Furthermore, several heat-conducting rods 12 are fitted on the outer side of the mold 9, and all the heat-conducting rods 12 pass through all the heat-conducting plates 13 in sequence. The heat-conducting rods 12 can quickly absorb the heat inside the mold 9 and dissipate it to the surrounding environment through the heat-conducting plates 13, thereby enhancing the overall heat dissipation performance of the mold 9. This achieves the effect of improving heat dissipation efficiency and reducing cooling time, further improving the cooling rate and product quality after aluminum forming.

[0028] Furthermore, pulleys 7 are fitted onto both ends of the connecting rod 5 and one end of each of the two bearing rods 3. Two of the four pulleys 7 located on the same side are connected by a belt 8. Both ends of the connecting rod 5 pass through one side of each of the two top frames 2 via bearing sleeves, and one end of each of the two bearing rods 3 passes through each of the two top frames 2 via bearing sleeves. When the drive motor 6 rotates the connecting rod 5, the two bearing rods 3 and their fans 4 are synchronously driven to rotate through the transmission action of the pulleys 7 and belts 8, thus forming a highly efficient air-cooling system. This achieves the effects of improving transmission efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the air-cooling system, reducing mechanical wear, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] When using this innovative aluminum processing mold for aluminum forming, the required aluminum material is first placed into the mold 9 for forming. The mold 9 is fixed to the frame 1 internally by bolts to ensure its stability and precision. Top frames 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1, and support rods 3 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two top frames 2. A fan 4 is fitted onto one end of each support rod 3 for subsequent cooling. After the aluminum material is formed in the mold 9, to accelerate the cooling process, a certain amount of water is added to a water tank 14 inside the mold 9. Heat is conducted through several heat-conducting plates 13 fixed around the outer wall of the mold 9, allowing the heat to dissipate rapidly through the water and the heat-conducting plates 13. Simultaneously, the drive motor 6 is started. This drive motor 6 drives the connecting rod 5 to rotate via a transmission connection, which in turn drives the two support rods 3 and their fans 4 via a belt 8, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the mold 9 and the material within it. Furthermore, a drain valve 11 is installed at the bottom of the mold 9, allowing water in the water tank 14 to be drained after the aluminum material has cooled. The design of the door 10 facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the mold 9, achieving rapid drainage and easy cleaning and maintenance, thereby improving equipment efficiency and reducing the risk of corrosion due to water residue. Connecting pipes 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the water tank 14. Cooling water flows into the connecting pipes 15 through the inlet pipe 17 and is evenly distributed to the outer wall of the mold 9 through the outlet pipe 16, ensuring that the cooling water fully covers the surface of the mold 9 to improve cooling efficiency. This optimizes water flow distribution and enhances cooling uniformity, avoiding localized overheating or uneven cooling. An inlet pipe 17 is provided on one side of the frame 1, allowing cooling water to be continuously input into the connecting pipes 15, forming a stable water circulation system to provide cooling water to the mold 9. The continuous cooling capacity achieves efficient water cooling circulation and reduces cooling time, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling process. Several heat-conducting rods 12 are fitted on the outer side of the mold 9. These rods quickly absorb heat from inside the mold 9 and dissipate it to the surrounding environment through the heat-conducting plate 13, enhancing the overall heat dissipation performance of the mold 9. This improves heat dissipation efficiency, reduces cooling time, and further improves the cooling rate and product quality after aluminum forming. Finally, pulleys 7 are fitted onto both ends of the connecting rod 5 and one end of each of the two bearing rods 3. When the drive motor 6 rotates the connecting rod 5, the pulleys 7 and belt 8 simultaneously drive the two bearing rods 3 and their fans 4, forming a highly efficient air-cooling system. This improves transmission efficiency, ensures stable operation of the air-cooling system, reduces mechanical wear, and extends the equipment's service life. By introducing the fan 4 auxiliary cooling system, combined with the design of the water tank 14 and heat-conducting plate 13, the mold can cool down rapidly in a short time, significantly reducing the cooling time after aluminum forming and thus improving production efficiency.Specifically, the design of the drain valve 11 and the door 10 not only enables rapid drainage but also facilitates mold cleaning and maintenance, reducing the risk of equipment corrosion. The arrangement of the connecting pipe 15, the outlet pipe 16, and the inlet pipe 17 optimizes the distribution of cooling water, ensuring the uniformity of the cooling process and avoiding product quality problems caused by uneven cooling. The cooperation between the heat-conducting rod 12 and the heat-conducting plate 13 enhances the overall heat dissipation performance, further accelerating the cooling speed and improving product quality. The transmission mechanism of the pulley 7 and the belt 8 ensures the stability of the air-cooling system, reduces mechanical wear, and extends the service life of the equipment.
