Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a molding die for the right housing of an automotive shock absorber. Background Technology

[0002] The shock absorber housing is the external protective structure of the shock absorber in the suspension system. It is divided into left housing and right housing according to the position of the wheel axle on the left and right sides. Its function is to wrap the internal damper, piston rod and other precision components to prevent dust and moisture from entering. It also has the function of transmitting the damping force generated by the shock absorber through the rigid structure to maintain the geometric stability of the suspension.

[0003] Because aluminum shock absorber housings can withstand high-frequency vibrations and impact loads, and are also corrosion-resistant and have a long service life, more and more high-end cars are using aluminum shock absorber housings. Like other aluminum parts, aluminum shock absorber housings are also produced using matching casting molds and casting equipment.

[0004] Most existing casting molds for the right housing of shock absorbers have the parting surface set on the horizontal section in the middle of the right housing. Although the forming of the flared mouth and ear seat on the right housing can be automatically completed by the fixed mold core and the moving mold core during the mold closing and opening processes, the height of the right housing is greater than its thickness. Therefore, the fixed mold core and the moving mold core must be thicker in order to cover the right housing, which greatly increases the amount of material used to make the mold and thus makes the mold manufacturing cost higher. In addition, the material-saving cavities located on both sides of the right housing must be formed with the help of two sets of passive core-pulling components, which is difficult to debug and the processing and manufacturing steps are relatively complicated, requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content

An arc-shaped notch is formed on the upper edge of the opening of the arc-shaped cavity. Correspondingly, a stepped seat block is formed between the upper outer wall of the seat block and the bottom surface of the secondary model cavity, which cooperates with the arc-shaped notch.

[0024] An extended cavity 46 is provided on the bottom surface of the limiting cavity 41, which is located above the second guide groove 49 and below the two columnar protrusions 45. Two first arc-shaped grooves 47 are provided on the bottom surface of the extended cavity 46, which are respectively distributed to the left and right and are concentrically arranged with the ends of the two columnar protrusions 45. Correspondingly, two vertically arranged arc-shaped protrusions 833 are formed on the rear outer wall of the second auxiliary block 83. The two arc-shaped protrusions 833 cooperate with the two first arc-shaped grooves 47 respectively.

[0025] Two second arc-shaped grooves 48 are also provided on the bottom surface of the limiting mold cavity 41, which are respectively distributed on the left and right and are concentrically located above the two first arc-shaped grooves 47 and below the two columnar protrusions 45.

[0026] Working principle: The moving pressure block 1 and the mold base plate 5 are respectively installed into the moving mechanism and the fixed base in the aluminum die casting equipment; then the moving mechanism is operated to drive the moving pressure block 1 to move backward until the rear outer wall of the moving pressure block 1 is in contact with the front outer wall of the carrier module 2 (existing technology).

[0027] At this time, the end face of the mold core block 3 and the end face of the forming block 4 are joined together, so that the limiting protrusion 35 on the mold core block 3 is embedded in the limiting mold cavity 41 on the forming block 4; the opening of the main model cavity 31 and the opening of the secondary model cavity 43 are joined together; each third material saving block 91 on the core block 9 is located in front of the opening of the first guide groove 42; in addition, the seat block 44 on the forming block 4 extends into the arc-shaped cavity 32 on the mold core block 3, and the step seat block 410 extends into the arc-shaped notch 33.

[0028] Subsequently, the telescopic end of the first cylinder 72 in the drive ear-shaped forming mechanism 7 extends outward to drive the first auxiliary block 73 downward with the help of the first guide block 71, thereby causing the first positioning block 731 on the first auxiliary block 73 to extend into the rear of each third material-saving block 91, and the first notch 733 and the second notch 732 on the first positioning block 731 to cooperate with the interior of the sub-model cavity 43; at the same time, the telescopic end of the second cylinder 82 in the drive flared mouth forming mechanism 8 extends outward to drive the second auxiliary block 83 upward with the help of the second guide block 81, until the end of the second positioning block 831 is attached to the lower outer wall of the seat block 44; and the two countersunk holes 832 are respectively located directly below the two columnar protrusions 45.

[0029] Molten aluminum is injected into the space between the main model cavity 31 and the secondary model cavity 43 through the gates provided in the dynamic pressure block 1 and the mold core block 3, and the sprues provided in the carrier block 2 and the forming block 4. After cooling, the right housing of the shock absorber is formed. The first notch 733 and the second notch 732 on the first auxiliary block 73 in the ear seat forming mechanism 7 form the ear seat behind the right housing of the shock absorber. The second positioning block 831 on the second auxiliary block 83 in the horn mouth forming mechanism 8 forms the horn mouth at the bottom of the right housing of the shock absorber.

[0030] After molding is completed, the extension and retraction ends of the first cylinder 72 in the ear seat molding mechanism 7 and the extension and retraction ends of the second cylinder 82 in the horn mouth molding mechanism 8 are simultaneously retracted inward to drive the first auxiliary block 73 and the second auxiliary block 83 to move upward and downward respectively to reset. Then, the moving mechanism is operated to drive the dynamic pressure block 1 to move forward, thereby driving the end face of the mold core block 3 to separate from the end face of the molding block 4. Finally, the right housing of the molded shock absorber is pushed forward by the ejection device 6.

[0031] This invention sets the parting surface on the longitudinal thickness section of the right shell. Although the forming tasks of the flared mouth and ear seat on the right shell need to be changed to be completed by the ear seat forming mechanism 7 and the flared mouth forming mechanism 8 respectively, the mold core block 3 and the forming block 4 only need a small thickness to wrap and form the right shell, thereby greatly reducing the amount of material used to make the mold and reducing the manufacturing cost. The multiple material-saving cavities located on both sides of the right shell can be automatically formed by the mold core block 3 and the forming block 4 during the mold splitting and mold closing process, thereby reducing the debugging difficulty and simplifying the processing and manufacturing steps as a whole.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do 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.
