Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a casting mold for a valve body casting, including a fixed template 1, a movable template 2 vertically slidably connected between the outer arc surfaces of the four guide pillars of the fixed template 1, the fixed template 1 and the movable template 2 adopt the fixed mold and movable mold commonly used in the prior art, the fixed template 1 and the movable template 2 are closed to form a mold cavity that constitutes the shape of the casting, the molten casting liquid is injected into the mold cavity formed by the combination of the fixed template 1 and the movable template 2, so that the molten casting liquid is cooled into the casting inside the mold cavity, and a cooling mechanism 4 is also included;

[0021] Cooling mechanism 4 includes a cooling tank 42, a manifold 43, a drain hole 44, and baffles 48. The cooling tank 42 is located at the lower end of the fixed template 1. The manifolds 43 are located at the left and right ends of the fixed template 1. The bottom wall of the cooling tank 42 is provided with drain holes 44. Each drain hole 44 is slidably connected to a baffle 48 that moves with temperature changes. The drain holes 44 are connected to adjacent manifolds 43. Cooling mechanism 4 also includes a sliding groove 45, a sliding plate 46, and a sliding column 47. The sliding groove 45 is located on the top wall of the cooling tank 42. Each sliding groove 45 is slidably connected to a sliding plate 46. Each sliding plate 46 has a sliding column 47 on its lower surface. The sliding column 47 extends out of the sliding groove 45 and is fixedly connected to the adjacent baffle 48. The upper surface of the sliding plate 46... Air is filled between the upper surface of the slide plate 46 and the top wall of the slide groove 45. During cooling, the air temperature between the upper surface of the slide plate 46 and the top wall of the slide groove 45 rises due to the heating of the casting liquid inside the mold cavity. The air volume expands, pushing the slide plate 46 and the slide column 47 downwards, causing the stop ball 48 to move down and leave the drain hole 44. The drain hole 44 opens, and as the coolant flows along the interior of the cooling tank 42, it absorbs heat from the interior of the mold cavity. The coolant, after absorbing heat, will be discharged from the nearby drain hole 44 into the manifold 43 in a timely manner. As the coolant absorbs heat, the temperature of the air inside the slide groove 45 gradually decreases, and its volume contracts. The pressure between the top wall of the slide groove 45 and the upper surface of the slide plate 46 decreases. Under the action of the pressure difference, the slide plate 46 is pulled. The ball stop 48 moves upward, and when the air temperature in the slide 45 reaches the specified range, the ball stop 48 blocks the drain hole 44 to prevent unheated coolant from leaving the cooling tank 42, thus improving the cooling effect. The cooling mechanism 4 also includes a water inlet 41, which is located in the middle of the fixed template 1 and is connected to the middle of the cooling tank 42. The cooling tank 42 is an arc-shaped groove, and its left and right ends are connected to the adjacent confluence trough 43. The outer arc surface of the sliding column 47 is provided with sealing gaskets 5, which contact the inner wall of the slide 45 to seal the connection between the sliding column 47 and the slide 45. The rear inner wall of the confluence trough 43 is provided with drain holes 6, and the bottom wall of the confluence trough 43 is inclined, which facilitates the confluence of water. The coolant in the tank 43 is discharged from the drain hole 6. A baffle 7 is slidably connected to the upper end of the inlet tank 41. The surface of the baffle 7 is provided with inlet holes 8. The top wall of the inlet tank 41 is provided with inlet holes 3. The inlet holes 3 and 8 are longitudinally spaced apart. The inlet holes 3 are all connected to the middle of the cooling tank 42. A support column 9 is provided on the rear inner wall of the inlet tank 41. The vertical plate at the rear end of the baffle 7 is slidably connected to the support column 9. A spring 10 is provided between the vertical plate of the baffle 7 and the rear inner wall of the inlet tank 41. The spring 10 is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the support column 9. When the coolant enters the inlet tank 41, the inlet holes 3 and 8 are misaligned, preventing the coolant from leaving the inlet tank 41. When the inlet tank 41 is completely filled with coolant, under the action of water pressure...Overcoming the elastic force of spring 10, the baffle 7 is pushed backward. When inlet hole 2 3 and inlet hole 1 8 coincide, the coolant enters the cooling tank 42 through inlet hole 2 3, ensuring a more uniform longitudinal distribution of the coolant.

[0022] The working principle of the casting mold for a valve body casting provided by this utility model is as follows: During the casting process of the valve body casting, molten casting liquid is injected into the mold cavity formed by the combination of fixed mold plate 1 and moving mold plate 2. After the molten casting liquid is injected, coolant enters the water inlet tank 41. At this time, water inlet hole 2 3 and water inlet hole 1 8 are misaligned, preventing the coolant from leaving the water inlet tank 41. At the same time, under the heating of the casting liquid inside the mold cavity, the air temperature between the upper surface of the slide plate 46 and the top wall of the slide groove 45 increases, and the air volume expands, pushing the slide plate 46 and slide column 47 downward, causing the baffle ball 48 to move down and leave the drain hole 44, opening the drain hole 44. When the water inlet tank 41 is completely filled with coolant, under the action of water pressure, it overcomes the elastic force of the spring 10 and pushes the baffle 7 backward. When water inlet hole 2 3 and water inlet hole 1 8 coincide, the coolant flows through water inlet hole 2 3. The coolant enters the cooling tank 42, ensuring a more uniform longitudinal distribution. The coolant then flows along the interior of the cooling tank 42, absorbing heat from the mold cavity. At this time, the air temperature inside the chute 45 is relatively high, resulting in a greater heat absorption by the coolant. After absorbing sufficient heat, the coolant is promptly discharged from the nearby drain hole 44 into the manifold 43. As the coolant absorbs heat, the air temperature inside the chute 45 gradually decreases, causing the volume to shrink. Under the pressure difference, this pulls the slide plate 46 and the baffle ball 48 upwards. When the air temperature inside the chute 45 reaches a specified range, the baffle ball 48 blocks the drain hole 44. At this point, the air temperature inside the chute 45 is lower, and the temperature difference is smaller, preventing coolant that has not absorbed sufficient heat from leaving the cooling tank 42, thus improving the cooling effect and allowing the molten casting liquid to cool and solidify into a casting inside the mold cavity.

[0023] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
