[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold rack equipment technology, specifically to a casting tooling mold rack that facilitates cooling. Background Technology
[0002] In the casting process, the use and storage of tooling molds are crucial. Traditional casting tooling mold racks have a relatively simple function, mainly focusing on placing the molds and lacking effective measures for cooling them. After casting, the mold temperature is high. If it cannot be cooled in time, it will not only prolong the waiting time for the next use and affect production efficiency, but the high temperature may also cause changes in the mold material properties, shortening the mold's service life.
[0003] Furthermore, traditional mold racks are not flexible enough in terms of space utilization, and cannot be reasonably adjusted in layers according to the size and number of molds. A mold rack that can adjust the layers and provide cooling would solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a casting tooling mold rack that facilitates cooling. Through a specially designed water cooling component, a water pump draws water from the water tank and sends it into the cavity of the back plate of the box body through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. After absorbing the heat of the mold, the water flows back to the condenser for cooling through the water outlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. This cycle repeats, which can quickly and effectively reduce the temperature of the mold and greatly shorten the cooling time.
[0005] A casting tooling mold rack for easy cooling includes a box body, characterized in that the front side of the box body is open and the opening is matched with symmetrically arranged door panels, the door panels are connected to the box body by hinges, at least one pair of brackets are fixedly connected to both sides of the box body, the upper side of each pair of brackets can support the two ends of the support plate, and each support plate is provided with a set of evenly arranged through slots.
[0006] The enclosure is connected to a water-cooling assembly.
[0007] The water-cooling assembly includes an inlet pipe, an inlet pipeline, a water tank, a condenser, a water pump, a blower pipeline, and an outlet pipe. The rear back panel of the housing is a hollow plate. One upper end of the back panel is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump installed on the water tank through the inlet pipeline. The water tank is also equipped with a condenser. The inlet of the water tank is connected to the outlet of the condenser. The lower end of the other side of the back panel is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe. The outlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the condenser through the outlet pipeline.
[0008] As a further limitation of this technical solution, a supporting shell is fixedly provided on the upper side of the box, and a drawer is slidably provided inside the supporting shell.
[0009] As a further limitation of this technical solution, a support groove is fixedly provided on the upper side of the support shell, a cover is provided in the support groove, and a set of evenly arranged ventilation holes are provided on the upper side of the cover.
[0010] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the upper rear hinge of the box body is connected to a working plate, and bolts can be screwed onto both sides of the working plate. The bolts can pass through one end of a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rear side of the box body.
[0011] As a further limitation of this technical solution, a cooling fan is fixedly installed at the middle position of the lower part of the upper side inside the box, and the cooling fan is driven by a motor.
[0012] As a further limitation of this technical solution, wheels are installed at the four lower corners of the box, and the wheels are self-locking wheels.
[0013] As a further limitation of this technical solution, a push handle is fixedly connected to one end of the supporting shell.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0015] Through a specially designed water-cooling component, the water pump draws water from the water tank and sends it into the cavity of the back panel of the box through the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. After absorbing the heat of the mold, the water flows back to the condenser for cooling through the outlet pipe and the outlet pipe. This cycle repeats, which can quickly and effectively reduce the temperature of the mold and greatly shorten the cooling time.
[0016] The brackets on both sides of the box can be flexibly stacked with support plates according to the actual situation of the mold. The through grooves on the support plates facilitate air circulation and accelerate cooling. The number and position of the support plates can be adjusted at will, which greatly improves the space utilization of the mold rack and facilitates the storage of molds of different specifications.
[0017] The upper side of the cabinet supports the drawer inside the outer shell, which can store commonly used tools such as wrenches and measuring tools, making them convenient for workers to access at any time.
[0018] The support slot and ventilated cover are suitable for placing small accessories or moisture-sensitive items that need ventilation and drying, keeping them in good condition.
[0019] The working plate on the rear side of the box can be adjusted in angle via connecting rods and bolts, providing workers with a temporary working platform for simple mold adjustments and other operations next to the mold rack;
[0020] The cooling fan inside the cabinet further promotes airflow within the cabinet on the basis of water cooling, allowing hot air to fully contact the water-cooling backplate, carrying away more heat, ensuring uniform temperature inside the cabinet, and improving the overall cooling effect.
[0021] The self-locking wheels on the lower side of the housing, together with the push handle at one end of the supporting shell, make it easy for workers to push the mold rack to the required position. Once in place, the wheels are locked to ensure the mold rack is placed stably, adapting to the needs of different workshop layouts. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to Figures 1-4 and embodiments.
[0029] A casting tooling mold rack for easy cooling includes a box body 7. The front of the box body 7 is open and symmetrically arranged door panels 8 are matched at the opening. The door panels 8 are hinged to the box body 7. At least one pair of brackets 16 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the box body 7. The upper side of each pair of brackets 16 can support both ends of the support plate 15. Each support plate 15 is provided with a set of evenly arranged through slots 17.
[0030] The housing 7 is connected to a water-cooling assembly.
[0031] The support plate 15 can be supported by the bracket 16. The number of support plates 15 can be freely selected for ease of use. The through groove 17 facilitates ventilation.
[0032] The water-cooling assembly includes an inlet pipe 18, an inlet pipeline 19, a water tank 20, a condenser 21, a water pump 22, a blower pipeline, and an outlet pipe 24. The rear back panel 701 of the housing 7 is a hollow plate. One end of the upper side of the back panel 701 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 18. The inlet pipe 18 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 22 installed on the water tank 20 through the inlet pipeline 19. The water tank 20 is also equipped with a condenser 21. The inlet of the water tank 20 is connected to the outlet of the condenser 21. The lower end of the other side of the back panel 701 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 24. The outlet pipe 24 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 21 through the outlet pipeline 23.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water pump 22 serves as a power source, pressurizing the low-temperature water in the water tank 20 and injecting it into the cavity of the back plate 701 on the rear side of the box 7 through the water inlet pipe 19 and the water inlet pipe 18. During the flow process, the water in the cavity of the back plate 701 absorbs the heat emitted by the high-temperature mold inside the box 7, and the water temperature rises. Subsequently, the hot water flows to the condenser 21 through the water outlet pipe 24 and the water outlet pipe 23. The condenser 21 uses its own heat dissipation mechanism to dissipate the heat in the hot water to the surrounding environment, cooling the hot water to low-temperature water, which then flows back to the water tank 20, forming a continuous water circulation cooling system, thereby continuously reducing the temperature inside the box 7 and achieving the cooling effect on the mold.
[0034] A supporting shell 5 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the box body 7, and a drawer 6 is slidably installed inside the supporting shell 5 for convenient storage.
[0035] A support groove 3 is fixedly provided on the upper side of the supporting shell 5, and a cover 2 is provided inside the support groove 3. A set of evenly arranged ventilation holes 1 are provided on the upper side of the cover 2. This facilitates storage and allows for ventilation.
[0036] The upper rear hinge of the housing 7 connects to the work plate 13. Bolts 12 can be screwed onto both sides of the work plate 13. The bolts 12 can pass through one end of the connecting rod 11, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the housing 7. The bolts 12 and the connecting rod 11 provide support for the work plate 13. The work plate 13, the connecting rod 11, and the housing 7 form a stable triangular support structure. The work plate 13 can be used as a temporary workbench.
[0037] A cooling fan 14 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper and lower part of the inside of the housing 7, and the cooling fan 14 is driven by a motor.
[0038] In this embodiment, the cooling fan 14 is driven by a motor. When the power is turned on (existing technology product, not shown or described in detail), the motor drives the fan blades to rotate at high speed. The rotating fan blades push the air inside the housing 7 to flow. The hot air is accelerated and guided to the water-cooled back plate 701, where it comes into contact with the low-temperature back plate 701. The heat is transferred to the circulating water inside the back plate 701. The cooled air continues to flow inside the housing 7, forming convection, which further improves the heat dissipation efficiency and makes the temperature inside the housing 7 more uniform.
[0039] The box 7 has wheels 9 installed at its four lower corners. These wheels are self-locking, facilitating movement and locking.
[0040] One end of the supporting shell 5 is fixedly connected to a push handle 4, which facilitates pushing and moving.
[0041] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0042] Hold the push handle 4 at one end of the supporting shell 5 and push the mold frame. Use the self-locking wheels at the four corners of the lower side of the housing 7 to move the mold frame to a suitable working position in the workshop. After reaching the position, operate the self-locking device on the wheel 9 to lock the wheel 9 and ensure that the mold frame is placed securely.
[0043] Based on the size and quantity of the molds to be stored, select an appropriate number of support plates 15 and place both ends of the support plates 15 on the brackets 16 at the corresponding heights on both sides inside the box 7. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the support plates 15, the support plates 15 can be removed from the brackets 16 and placed back on the brackets 16 that meet the requirements.
[0044] The high-temperature mold after casting is placed on the support plate 15 and cooled using a water-cooling assembly and a cooling fan 14. Commonly used tools are placed in drawers 6 inside the support housing 5 or under covers 2 inside the support groove 3.
[0045] Turn on the water pump 22 of the water cooling component to start it working, start the water circulation system, and cool the inside of the cabinet 7. According to the actual cooling needs, the cooling fan 14 can be turned on, and the fan blades are driven by the motor to rotate, which enhances the air flow inside the cabinet 7 and improves the cooling effect.
[0046] When mold-related operations need to be performed next to the mold rack, open the working plate 13 connected by the upper rear hinge of the housing 7, adjust the working plate 13 to a suitable angle, pass the bolts 12 through the holes on both sides of the working plate 13 and the hole at one end of the connecting rod 11, and tighten the bolts 12 to fix the working plate 13. After the operation is completed, loosen the bolts 12 and retract the working plate 13 along the hinge.
[0047] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
