[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.
[0034] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 An aluminum alloy extrusion die includes an upper die 1 and a lower die 2;
[0035] The lower die 2 is provided with an extrusion groove 21 for forming aluminum alloy profiles;
[0036] The upper mold 1 is provided with a diversion hole 11 for injecting raw material into the extrusion groove 21; the mold core 3 is fixedly connected to the upper mold 1 and extends into the extrusion groove 21 of the lower mold 2. The extrusion groove 21 and the mold core 3 cooperate to form a forming cavity for extruding aluminum profiles.
[0037] The upper mold 1 is also provided with a receiving groove 12 for accommodating the lower mold 2, so that the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 can be slidably inserted into each other along the axial direction;
[0038] The inner wall of the receiving groove 12 is arranged in a circular array with multiple positioning slots 13 at equal intervals. The outer wall of the lower mold 2 is fixedly installed with multiple positioning blocks 22 that correspond one-to-one with the positioning slots 13 and are inserted into each other.
[0039] The side wall of the upper mold 1 is provided with a quick assembly / disassembly mechanism 4 for fixing the lower mold 2 in the receiving groove 12;
[0040] The quick assembly / disassembly mechanism 4 includes a spring 42, a movable groove 43, a pressure block 44, a locking block 45, and a locking groove 46. Each positioning slot 13 has a movable groove 43 at its bottom, and the pressure block 44 is slidably connected to the movable groove 43. The positioning insert 22 corresponding to the positioning slot 13 has a locking groove 46, and the end of the pressure block 44 near the receiving groove 12 is fixedly installed with a locking block 45 that engages with the locking groove 46.
[0041] A spring 42 is installed inside the movable groove 43. The spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of the locking block 45. The two ends of the spring 42 are fixedly connected to the pressure block 44 and the bottom of the movable groove 43, respectively.
[0042] The quick assembly / disassembly mechanism 4 also includes a pressure ring 41, which is threadedly connected to the side wall of the upper mold 1. Rotating the pressure ring 41 allows it to move axially along the upper mold 1. The pressure ring 41 is used to press the pressure block 44 into the movable groove 43.
[0043] The end of the pressure block 44 near the pressure ring 41 is provided with a guide slope 441 that cooperates with the pressure ring 41, and the end of the pressure block 44 away from the upper mold 1 is provided with a locking plane 442 that cooperates with the pressure ring 41.
[0044] In this invention, the positioning block 22 of the lower mold 2 is aligned with the positioning slot 13 and inserted, so that the lower mold 2 is inserted into the receiving groove 12 of the upper mold 1. The pressure ring 41 is rotated to move the pressure ring 41 closer to the pressure block 44. The pressure ring 41 presses all the pressure blocks 44 into the movable groove 43 through the guide inclined surface 441 until the locking plane 442 of the pressure block 44 abuts against the inner side of the pressure ring 41, so that the locking block 45 is completely locked into the locking groove 46, realizing the quick locking connection between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, and multiple cooperating locking blocks... Block 45 and slot 46 form multiple locking points, which securely lock the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 together. When the lower mold 2 needs to be replaced, rotating the pressure ring 41 moves the pressure ring 41 away from the pressure block 44. The pressure block 44 is reset under the action of the spring 42, which causes the locking block 45 to disengage from the slot 46, thus quickly unlocking the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2. The operator only needs to rotate the pressure ring 41 to control the pressure ring 41 to move along the axial direction of the upper mold 1, which can quickly disassemble and assemble the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2, effectively facilitating the operator's operation.
[0045] The lower mold 2 is provided with a rapid cooling mechanism 5, and two sets of rapid cooling mechanisms 5 are provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 2;
[0046] The rapid cooling mechanism 5 includes a cooling pipe 51, an inlet pipe 52, an outlet pipe 53, and a nozzle 54. The cooling pipe 51 is spirally embedded inside the lower mold 2. The inlet pipe 52 and the outlet pipe 53 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cooling pipe 51, and the nozzle 54 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 53. The coolant in the cooling pool enters the cooling pipe 51 through the inlet pipe 52 to achieve indirect heat exchange with the aluminum profile formed in the lower mold 2. After the initial cooling, the water flows out through the outlet pipe 53 and is sprayed onto the aluminum profile extruded from the lower mold 2 through the nozzle 54 for direct heat exchange. The cooling water after direct heat exchange flows back into the cooling pool. The combination of indirect heat exchange and direct heat exchange achieves rapid cooling of the aluminum profile, fully utilizes the cooling water, and effectively improves the heat exchange efficiency.
[0047] The cold pipes 51 of the two sets of rapid cooling mechanisms 5 are installed in a staggered manner, and the cold pipes 51 are distributed in a cylindrical shape on the outside of the extrusion groove 21 to surround the extrusion groove 21.
[0048] The nozzle 54 is a fan-shaped nozzle. The nozzles 54 of the two sets of rapid cooling mechanisms 5 are located on both sides of the extrusion groove 21 and are set towards the extrusion groove 21 to uniformly cool the profile extruded from the molding cavity.
[0049] Both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are made of ceramic matrix composite material, which gives the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, high strength and rigidity, relatively light weight and wear resistance. They are suitable for continuous extrusion molding of aluminum profiles and reduce production costs.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
