Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of powder metallurgy technology, and in particular to a powder metallurgy die with a pre-pressure venting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Powder metallurgy is a process technology that produces metal powders or uses metal powders as raw materials, and manufactures metal materials, composite materials and various types of products through forming and sintering. In the production process of powder metallurgy products, the die is a key forming equipment. The venting design of existing powder metallurgy dies has obvious deficiencies, with small venting area and unreasonable venting path, which makes it difficult for air to be quickly discharged during the pressing process of powder raw materials. This can easily lead to powder clogging of venting holes and affect venting efficiency. At the same time, existing dies lack an effective pre-pressing venting mechanism, which cannot discharge most of the air before formal pressing. This makes it easy for defects such as porosity and looseness to be generated inside the product, and it is also difficult for the powder raw materials to be initially compacted.

[0025] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0026] This utility model provides a powder metallurgy die with a pre-pressure venting mechanism, comprising: a lower die base 1, with a die-closing cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the middle of both the upper and lower ends of the lower die base 1; a lower die core 3 slidably connected to the upper bottom of the lower die base 1; a venting seat 5 slidably connected to the bottom end face of the lower die core 3; an upper die core 4 slidably connected to the lower top of the lower die base 1; a venting seat 5 slidably connected to the top end face of the upper die core 4; a concave bottom fixing frame 101 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower die base 1; an L-shaped top fixing frame 102 fixedly installed on the top of the rear side wall of the lower die base 1; and the top telescopic end of the die-closing cylinder 2 fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom end face of the bottom fixing frame 101 connected to the middle of the bottom end face of the lower die core 3. The bottom telescopic end of the mold-closing cylinder 2, which is fixedly installed at the middle of the top end face of the bottom fixing frame 101, is connected to the middle of the top end face of the upper mold core 4. Specifically, the mold-closing cylinder 2 can precisely control the mold-closing and mold-opening actions of the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4, ensuring the stability and repeatability of the molding process. The sliding connection between the lower mold core 3, the upper mold core 4 and the lower mold base 1 makes the mold opening and closing process smoother and reduces friction loss. The bottom fixing frame 101 and the top fixing frame 102 provide a stable installation base for the mold-closing cylinder 2 and the mold core, enhance the rigidity and reliability of the entire molding structure, effectively prevent mold deformation caused by uneven force during the pressing process, and improve the service life of the mold and the molding accuracy of the product.
[0027] The lower mold core 3 has external sliding grooves 301 on the bottom of its left and right side walls. A venting hole 302, shaped like a frustum, is formed around the bottom end face of the mold cavity of the lower mold core 3. Reset springs 303 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bottom end face of the lower mold core 3, with the other end of each spring connected to the venting seat 5. An annular inner guide groove 304 is formed in the bottom end face of the lower mold core 3. The upper mold core 4 is the upper symmetrical structure of the lower mold core 3 and has the same structure. A sliding guide groove 401 is formed in the middle of the rear side wall of the upper mold core 4. The sliding guide groove 401 is slidably connected to the top fixing bracket 102 at the top of the rear side wall of the lower mold base 1. Specifically, the external sliding groove 301 facilitates the guidance of the lower mold core 3 during sliding, ensuring the movement trajectory of the venting seat 5. Accuracy is ensured by the surrounding vent 302 with a frustoconical design, which increases the venting area and facilitates the rapid expulsion of air from the powder raw material during the pressing process. The frustoconical structure also helps to prevent powder from clogging the vent 302. The reset spring 303 allows the vent seat 5 to automatically reset after completing the venting action, ensuring consistency in each pressing process. The inner guide groove 304 provides guidance for the sliding of the vent seat 5, ensuring the accurate relative position between the vent seat 5 and the lower mold core 3, thereby ensuring the venting effect. The cooperation between the sliding guide groove 401 and the top fixing frame 102 further enhances the stability of the upper mold core 4 during the sliding process, preventing it from shifting in the horizontal direction, ensuring the accuracy of the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4 when they are closed, and improving the molding quality of the product.
[0028] The venting seats 5 are symmetrically arranged in two sections, slidably connected to the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4 respectively. A guide cylinder 501 is fixedly installed at the midpoint of the opposite sidewalls of the two venting seats 5. The guide cylinder 501 is slidably connected to the inner guide groove 304 of the lower mold core 3. A connecting rod 502 is arranged in a circumferential shape in the venting seat 5 outside the guide cylinder 501. The top of the connecting rod 502 is frustoconical. Two Y-shaped venting pipes 503 are symmetrically connected to the opposite sidewalls of the two venting seats 5. Two pre-compression cylinders 6 are symmetrically connected to the opposite sidewalls of the two venting seats 5. The telescopic ends of the pre-compression cylinders 6 are connected to the opposite sidewalls of the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4. Specifically, the symmetrically arranged venting seats 5 enable simultaneous venting from the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4, improving venting efficiency. The cooperation between the guide cylinder 501 and the inner guide groove 304 further refines the sliding trajectory of the venting seats 5, ensuring efficient venting. The seat 5 will not shake during movement, ensuring the stability of the exhaust. The ring-shaped connecting rod 502 with a frustoconical top can better apply pressure to the powder material during the pre-pressing process, while also helping air to be discharged through the exhaust hole 302. The "Y"-shaped exhaust pipe 503 increases the exhaust path, which can quickly and effectively discharge air out of the mold and improve the exhaust effect. The pre-pressing cylinder 6 can push the exhaust seat 5 away from the lower mold core 3 or the upper mold core 4 during the pre-pressing process, thereby expelling most of the air and reducing defects such as air holes and looseness inside the product. At the same time, the pre-pressing process can also initially compact the powder material, improve the molding effect and product quality of the subsequent formal pressing. Furthermore, the connection method between the pre-pressing cylinder 6 and the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4 makes the pressure distribution more uniform during the pre-pressing process, ensuring the consistency of product quality.
[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0030] When using the powder metallurgy die with pre-pressure venting mechanism, the lower die core 3 is first driven to slide upward by the die-closing cylinder 2 located at the middle of the bottom end face of the bottom fixing frame 101, while the upper die core 4 is driven to slide downward by the die-closing cylinder 2 located at the middle of the top end face of the top fixing frame 102, so that the lower die core 3 and the upper die core 4 are precisely closed. During the die-closing process, the outer sliding groove 301 of the lower die core 3 and the sliding guide groove 401 of the upper die core 4 slide along the lower die base 1 and the top fixing frame 102 respectively to ensure accurate movement trajectory. After the die-closing is completed, the pre-pressure cylinder 6 is activated to push the venting seat 5 to slide along the inner guide groove 304 towards the die cavity. At this time, the connecting rods 502 distributed in a ring slide in the venting hole 302. As the pressure is applied, air enters the vent seat 5 through the frustoconical vent hole 302 and is quickly discharged from the mold through the "Y"-shaped vent pipe 503. After pre-pressing, the pre-pressing cylinder 6 retracts, and the reset spring 303 automatically resets the vent seat 5. Then, formal pressing is carried out. The mold closing cylinder 2 continues to provide pressure. Due to the enhanced structural rigidity of the bottom fixing frame 101 and the top fixing frame 102, the pressing process is ensured to be stable and reliable. After pressing, the mold closing cylinder 2 reverses its action, causing the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4 to separate, and the product is removed, completing one pressing cycle. Throughout the process, the symmetrically arranged vent seats 5 enable synchronous venting of the lower mold core 3 and the upper mold core 4, effectively improving venting efficiency and product quality. Example 2
[0031] Several sets of ball bearing assemblies are evenly embedded in the inner wall of the outer sliding groove 301 of the lower mold core 3 and the inner wall of the sliding guide groove 401 of the upper mold core 4. Each set of ball bearing assemblies includes a positioning seat, a ball, and a retainer. The ball can rotate freely around the positioning seat and roll in cooperation with the sliding contact surface of the lower mold base 1. At the same time, an annular groove is opened on the outer wall of the guide cylinder 501 of the vent seat 5, and a spring ball is embedded in it. It forms an elastic snap-fit structure with the positioning hole on the inner wall of the guide groove 304 of the lower mold core 3. The ball bearing assembly converts sliding friction into rolling friction, which reduces the sliding resistance of the mold core, significantly improves the opening and closing speed and smoothness, and reduces the wear of the guide components. The spring ball cooperates with the positioning hole to provide positioning feedback when the vent seat 5 slides to the limit position, avoids excessive displacement, and further improves the movement accuracy of the vent seat 5.
