Description

A high-pressure cooling structure for a miniature mold insert Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling technology for mold inserts, and specifically to a high-pressure cooling structure for micro-sized mold inserts. Background Technology

[0002] When casting barrel-shaped parts with complex sides, such as automotive wheel hubs, the casting molds typically include upper and lower molds, as well as side molds located around the upper and lower molds. Cooling points for the side molds are located at the junction of the wheel spokes and the rim. The conventional cooling method is air cooling, which is mainly achieved by machining blind holes in the corresponding positions of the side mold's back cavity and then installing air ducts. With increasingly demanding requirements from die-cast automotive parts customers, the forming and auxiliary processes for die-cast automotive parts are also developing simultaneously, giving rise to auxiliary processes such as vacuum die casting, high-pressure spot cooling, mold temperature controllers, and water temperature controllers. High-pressure spot cooling, as an important aspect, has also evolved into many forms, all aimed at improving product yield and production efficiency.

[0003] The specification of a side mold cooling insert structure for cooling wheel hub molds (publication number CN206567521U) mentions that it "includes an upper mold, a lower mold, and a side mold. The side mold has a stepped through hole at the junction of the wheel spoke and the rim. A cooling insert is provided in the stepped through hole. A stepped blind hole is opened on the end face of the cooling insert. An inlet tube is inserted into the stepped blind hole. An outlet hole is opened on the side of the cooling insert. An outlet tube is inserted into the outlet hole." However, the space of the micro-sized inserts in the prior art is limited. Conventional cooling channels are difficult to process and are prone to insufficient structural strength. Moreover, the high-pressure sealing is poor, which can easily lead to leakage, resulting in mold contamination or reduced cooling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

It is more tightly leak-proof, adaptable to miniature inserts, and the tapered seal is pressure resistant. Moreover, the modular joint and diversion valve support quick disassembly and assembly, reducing downtime.

[0015] 3. The low-pressure outlet connected to the adjustable diverter valve at the rear end of the second upper connecting water pipe and the third lower connecting water pipe in this utility model is used to dynamically adjust the outlet flow rate. It has a compact and reliable structure.

[0016] 4. In this utility model, the insert body and the slider seat adopt a double cooling water pipe structure. The water pipes penetrate deep into the molding part to ensure that the two water paths are completely separated and there is no water leakage, so as to achieve efficient cooling and long-term stable operation.
