Rheo-diecasting is with pressing chamber and pressure casting method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of horizontal plunger die casting machine and press chamber and rheo-diecasting method, belong to non-ferrous metal preparation and manufacture field.
Background technology
Because auto industry fast development, the die casting demand of aluminium, magnesium alloy also enlarge rapidly.The horizontal cold-chamber die casting machine that is to use that extensively adopts carries out liquid die casting at present.Adopt this explained hereafter die casting machine efficient height, the die casting machine tonnage is selected flexibly, and equipment loss is low.But in the injection process of liquid metal, because liquid fluctuating and high speed are filled type, inevitably cause the involute gas of liquid metal, make the die casting of producing have pore, the die casting mechanical property is relatively poor.For solving volume gas problem in the die casting, twentieth century end semisolid die-casting technique is developed.Develop the semisolid extrusion process that at first and adopt thixotroping die casting route, its technological process is at first to prepare the semi-solid blank with non-dendritic structure, then with the blank post bake to semi solid zone, blank can keep justifying the base shape and had simultaneously and good flowability this moment.The volume gas that this circular blank has avoided liquid fluctuating to cause in injection and cavity filling process makes die casting have excellent mechanical property.But thixotropic forming has increased base and two operations of post bake, has improved production cost; The oxide skin that forms in the post bake process enters die casting formation and is mingled with in filling type, these have all limited applying of thixotroping die casting.Be shortened process, developed the rheo-diecasting technology of various ways in recent years, its basic principle is that melt is handled, and makes its formation have the semi solid slurry of the spherical primary phase of certain volume mark, then slurry is directly filled type die casting.Because the viscosity of semi solid slurry is higher than liquid state, therefore inhibition to a certain degree the volume gas phenomenon in the liquid metal.But owing in the rheo-diecasting technology, transmit smoothly for making slurry, the fraction solid in the semi solid slurry is lower, be usually less than 10%, therefore slurry still has good flowability, this cause slurry in injection and when filling type liquid level still can fluctuate, roll up the gas phenomenon and can not avoid fully.The present invention is by adopting novel pressure cell structure, the advantage of traditional thixotropic forming and rheological molding combined form a kind of new rheo-diecasting technology, can avoid the generation of the involute gas phenomenon of liquid metal on the basis that guarantees short flow process again.
Summary of the invention

Described gap 0<b≤3mm..
The position sensor (4) that is used to control the injection punch head motion is installed on driving mechanism.
Valve body via transmission device realizes opening and closing motion, under the valve body open mode, presses the chamber cylindrical shell unobstructed fully; Under the valve body closed condition, valve body will be pressed the lower end complete closed of chamber cylindrical shell, and the gap is left in the upper end.Position sensor on the transmission mechanism near melt outflow end one side, is equipped with pressure sensor near valve body in riser, sensor signal directly enters the die casting machine injection control system.
A kind of method of using die casting machine pressure of the present invention chamber to carry out rheo-diecasting, this method comprises following step:
1) valve body is closed, a certain amount of metal bath flows into end from the melt of pressing the chamber and flows to the inner barrel of pressing the chamber;
2) injection plunger travels forward, and promotes also motion forward of metal bath, is subjected to the obstruction of valve body, and melt begins to pile up gradually behind valve body;
3) along with injection plunger constantly advances, melt is piled into cylinder gradually between injection plunger and valve body, presses indoor gas to discharge from slit, valve body upper end simultaneously, and the pressure that bears on the valve body also increases gradually.
4) arrive setting value when the pressure sensor upward pressure, the injection plunger stop motion, metal bath press indoor leave standstill 1~10s after, the transmission mechanism motion of valve body is opened valve body fast;
5) after valve body was opened and put in place, the position sensor output signal on the transmission mechanism made the quick injection of injection plunger to the die casting machine control system, finish the injection cavity filling process;
6) finish die casting taking-up, mold cleaning and injection plunger and push back after, valve body is closed, and prepares press casting procedure next time.
Advantage of the present invention is:
The present invention is by pressing the indoor valve body that is provided with, metal bath is piled into cylinder and the melt solid volume fraction is increased to carry out die casting again after surpassing 40% in pressing the chamber, effectively avoided on the one hand the volume gas phenomenon of pressing indoor melt liquid level fluctuation to cause, melt indoor leave standstill cooling melt viscosity is increased pressing on the other hand, so both guaranteed the Laminar Flow in the cavity filling process, avoid the surface oxidation problem in the conventional post bake process again, eliminated oxide inclusion and gas hole defect in the die casting.The present invention controls the motion of valve body by sensor, and sensor signal is directly imported the die casting machine control system, transforms on existing die casting machine and presses cell structure to implement, and is simple.
