[0028] It is understood that this utility model, by setting up a fixed mold mechanism and a moving mold mechanism, with the fixed mold component 110 in the fixed mold mechanism and the moving mold plate 150 and four insert groups 160 in the moving mold mechanism cooperating to form a cavity, which can be filled with liquid metal, achieves efficient die casting of the water jacket 130; and by setting up a cooling mechanism, the first cooling component and the first point cooling component in the cooling mechanism provide an active cooling means to address the problem of heat concentration in the thick-walled, long strip water jacket 130. The first cooling channel 210 is arranged along the outside of the cavity, which can cool the side of the water jacket 130 near the feed cylinder 120, promotes overall heat dissipation, and makes the overall cooling time of the water jacket 130 approximately the same. The first point cooling channel 400 extends along the axis of the water jacket, which can directly and quickly cool the internal area of the water jacket 130, solves the problem of difficult heat dissipation inside the water jacket 130, thereby shortening the cooling time, reducing product deformation caused by heat accumulation, and improving mold life and production efficiency.

[0032] Understandably, the multiple first-point cooling channels 400 circumferentially distributed achieve uniform cooling of the water jacket 130 in the circumferential direction. This design is particularly suitable for the symmetrical structure of the circular water jacket 130, ensuring that heat is dissipated quickly and evenly, further shortening the production cycle and improving product consistency.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 The template 230 is provided with a main channel 250 and multiple branch channels 260 connected to the main channel 250.

[0034] Understandably, the design of the main flow channel 250 and multiple branch flow channels 260 allows the molten metal to fill the mold cavity smoothly and evenly, reducing turbulence and air entrapment, and lowering the risk of casting defects such as porosity. The branch flow channels 260 are distributed circumferentially, ensuring that the molten metal enters the mold cavity from multiple directions, improving the filling effect.

The connection structure between the moving template body 360 and the second circular insert 370 facilitates processing and replacement.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cooling mechanism further includes a second point cooling component, which includes a second point cooling channel 380 and a second point cooling pipe 390.
