[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] This utility model provides an integrated valve arm die head structure for investment casting turbochargers. See details below. Figure 1 The difference between this and existing technologies lies in the following: the integrated valve arm mold head structure includes a gate 1 and a T-shaped runner 2 connected to the gate. A main runner 3 is connected to the lower center of the T-shaped runner, and secondary runners 4 are connected to the sides. The main and secondary runners are arranged parallel to each other. Several shrinkage sections 31 and expansion casting sections 32 are arranged sequentially on the main and secondary runners. The shrinkage sections are non-assembly welding parts, which are widened and thinned. The expansion casting sections are welding parts for assembled products, which are widened and thickened. This not only ensures product quality but also reduces the amount of medium-temperature wax and metal raw materials used. Additionally, the top of the T-shaped runner has a protruding gate connection section 21, which is directly connected to the gate. The bottom of the main and secondary runners has extended positioning pins 5.

[0022] In use, the T-shaped sprue connected to the gate ensures a smooth and rapid casting process. Several shrinkage and expansion casting sections are arranged sequentially on the main and secondary runners, which not only guarantees product quality but also reduces the amount of medium-temperature wax and metal raw materials used, lowering the risk of mold shell cracking, improving product quality, and reducing production costs. Furthermore, the extended positioning pins at the bottom of the main and secondary runners increase the product assembly space, enhance the overall stability of the mold head structure, and effectively improve production efficiency.

[0023] Example 1 In this embodiment, the integrated valve arm mold head structure includes a gate 1 and a T-shaped runner 2 connected to the gate. A main runner 3 is connected to the lower center of the T-shaped runner, and secondary runners 4 are connected to the two sides. The main and secondary runners are arranged parallel to each other. Several shrinkage sections 31 and expansion casting sections 32 are arranged sequentially on the main and secondary runners. The shrinkage sections are non-assembly welding parts, which are widened and thinned. The expansion casting sections are welding parts for assembled products, which are widened and thickened. This not only ensures product quality but also reduces the amount of medium-temperature wax and metal raw materials used, effectively reducing mold shell cracking caused by the violent expansion of medium-temperature wax during dewaxing, thus improving product quality. Simultaneously, a protruding gate connection section 21 is provided at the top of the T-shaped runner. The length-to-height ratio of the T-shaped runner is 1:0.4-0.85. The gate connection section is directly connected to the gate. Extended positioning pins 5 are provided at the bottom of the main and secondary runners, increasing the overall stability of the mold head structure and effectively improving production efficiency. The bottoms of the main and secondary runners are connected to each other through the bottom runner, ensuring that the molten metal can quickly and evenly fill the entire cavity during casting.

[0024] Specifically, there are two secondary runners 4, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main runner. The bottom of the T-shaped runner 2 has three connection ports, which are connected to the main and secondary runners respectively. Between the three connection ports, there is a concave arc groove 22. The two arc grooves are symmetrically arranged. The arc groove near the middle connection port is lower than the arc groove near the two side connection ports, with a drop of 3-8cm, forming a molten metal ramp. At the top of the molten metal ramp, there is a flow-dispersing strip plate to facilitate the dispersion of the casting liquid, so that the casting liquid is more evenly distributed in the three connection ports, improving the synchronization of casting and improving the quality of subsequent products.

[0025] Furthermore, there are three main connection ports and two secondary connection ports. Each connection port has internal guide ribs, and the secondary connection ports have gas guide strips on their sides. A venting pipe 11 is provided on each side of the gating gate 1. One end of the venting pipe is connected to the gating gate, and the other end is connected to the top of the T-shaped runner, forming a connecting interface. The gas guide strip is positioned between the secondary connection port and the connecting interface to facilitate gas outlet, reduce bubble formation, and improve product casting quality.

[0026] Furthermore, symmetrical U-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the shrinkage section. The depth of these U-shaped grooves accounts for 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the width of the shrinkage section. Connecting ribs can also be installed at the U-shaped grooves to maintain overall strength. The expansion casting section is connected to the casting cavity of the product, and the height of the shrinkage section is greater than or equal to the height of the expansion casting section. This also reduces the amount of medium-temperature wax and metal raw materials used, lowers the risk of mold shell cracking, reduces the overall weight of the mold head, improves casting quality, and reduces costs.

[0027] Example 2 In this embodiment, the integrated valve arm mold head structure includes a gate 1 and a T-shaped runner 2 connected to the gate. A main runner 34 is connected to the lower center of the T-shaped runner, and secondary runners 4 are connected to the two sides. The main and secondary runners are arranged parallel to each other. Several shrinkage sections 31 and expansion casting sections 32 are arranged sequentially on the main and secondary runners. The shrinkage sections are non-assembly welding parts; these sections are widened and thinned. The expansion casting sections are welding parts for assembled products; these sections are widened and thickened. This not only ensures the internal quality of the product but also reduces the amount of medium-temperature wax and metal raw materials used. It effectively reduces the problem of mold shell cracking caused by the violent expansion of medium-temperature wax during dewaxing, thus improving product quality. Simultaneously, it reduces the overall weight of the mold head, lowers production costs, and reduces the labor intensity of workers during the casting process.

[0028] Specifically, the top of the T-shaped runner has a raised gate connection. The length-to-height ratio of the T-shaped runner is 1:0.4-0.85, with a preferred height ratio of 1:0.8. The gate connection is directly connected to the gate. The bottom of the main and secondary runners has extended positioning pins, increasing the space for product assembly and allowing for multiple rows of products. Existing technologies can only accommodate 3-4 rows of products. This also increases the overall stability of the mold head structure and effectively improves production efficiency.

[0029] The integrated valve arm mold head structure of this utility model is set between a set of corresponding upper molds 6 and lower molds 7. The bottom of the upper and lower molds is provided with an independently pullable core-pulling structure 8. The bottom of the core-pulling structure is provided with a matching slider 9 to facilitate the individual removal of the core. The shape of the core-pulling structure matches the structure of the gate.

[0030] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
