It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and in the claims are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
In one preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1 to 7, a casting mold for an end cover 1 of an automotive motor comprises a mold body 2, an ingate 3 and a riser 4, wherein the mold body 2 is internally provided with a cavity for molding a product, the ingate 3 is positioned in the mold body 2 and above the cavity, the riser 4 is arranged in the mold body 2, and the ingate 3 is communicated with the cavity under the action of the riser 4.
It will be appreciated that during casting, molten metal is injected from the upper runner 3 and then flows into the cavity from the runner 3 and riser 4 in sequence by gravity. It should be noted that, since the high-temperature molten metal passes through the riser 4, the riser 4 is in a high-temperature state and the molten metal is flowing, that is, the molten metal is still and filled in the riser 4 only after filling the cavity, so that the molten metal at the riser 4 is solidified finally, the molten metal is easy to fill the cavity when the (motor end cover 1) product is cast, the defects of insufficient casting, cold insulation and the like can be avoided, and on the other hand, the top temperature is high, the bottom temperature is low, the sequential solidification and riser feeding can be realized, the molten metal is less to use, and the cost is saved.
Compared with the prior art, the (motor end cover 1) product adopts the bottom pouring mode, namely, the ingate 3 is arranged from bottom to top, molten metal can enter the cavity first and then enter the riser 4 from the cavity, so that the molten metal at the riser 4 can not be rapidly cooled and solidified, the riser 4 is enough to be arranged, namely, the riser 4 is required to store enough molten metal at the moment, so that the molten metal is wasted, oxidizing slag is easily generated, defects such as cold insulation and insufficient casting are generated, and the problems such as sand holes are easily generated when the top of the riser is large in plane are solved.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, since the motor end cap 1 is thick, a plurality of risers 4 are required to be provided therein, and the plurality of risers 4 may be distributed in the mold body 2. It will be appreciated that the motor end cap 1 product may be fed through a plurality of risers 4 to ensure the quality and integrity of the casting.
The size of each riser 4 can be set according to practical situations, so that metal can be fully supplemented during casting, and the occurrence of voids and defects is reduced. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1, a mounting portion 102 is provided on the outside of the motor end cap 1, so that the riser 4 therein is provided larger than the remaining risers 4, as shown by the corresponding riser 4 at b in fig. 4.
Further, in order to allow the molten metal to flow into the cavity sufficiently uniformly in the ingate 3, the ingate 3 may be provided so as to extend along the outer contour of the cavity. The product of the application is a motor end cover 1, which is in a disc-shaped structure, so that the inner pouring gate 3 can be arranged into a circular ring shape at the moment, so that molten metal can uniformly enter the cavity through corresponding (circumferentially dispersed) risers 4, meanwhile, the molten metal can stably enter the cavity from multiple directions due to the arrangement of the multiple risers 4, and the molten metal can not splash, so that the stability during pouring is ensured. Similarly, if the product is rectangular, trapezoid, etc., the corresponding ingate 3 can be in a corresponding rectangular or trapezoid annular structure.
Of course, in the case that the thickness of some products is not very thick, the shrinkage of the products can be well coped with by adopting the inner runner 3 in the form of the ring and the circumferentially distributed riser 4. However, in some thicker products, for example, the motor end cover 1 of the present application has a thickened portion 101 at the outer portion thereof, so that the corresponding riser 4 is larger, and therefore if molten metal directly flows into the cavity from the riser 4 at this time, the molten metal will be subjected to a larger impact force to flow into the cavity, and further the molten metal will splash, which affects the processing quality. The mounting portion 102 is relatively thin, and only the area of the riser 4 is relatively large, but the thickness (height) thereof is relatively small, and a part of the core block of the molding mounting portion 102 is located in the riser 4, so that the impact force of the molten metal flowing out of the riser 4 is not excessively large, and the molten metal can be stably introduced into the cavity.
Thus, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, according to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the riser 4 includes a first riser 401 and a second riser 402, the first riser 401 may communicate the ingate 3 with the cavity, and the second riser 402 may communicate with the cavity and be isolated from the first riser 401.
It will be appreciated that for the first riser 401, molten metal still enters the cavity from the first riser 401. For the second riser 402, after the cavity is filled with molten metal, the molten metal enters the second riser 402 from the cavity, so that impact splashing of the molten metal can be prevented, the mold filling is stable, the metal oxidation is light, and further the product molding quality can be greatly improved.
As shown in fig. 6, the pouring gate block 5 formed by solidifying the molten metal in the pouring gate 3 is solidified in the same way as the first riser 401 to form the first cap 4011, and the second riser 402 to form the second cap 4022. As shown in fig. 7, the shape of the inner runner 3 and the riser 4 is formed by solidifying the molten metal in the inner runner 3 and the riser 4 after the motor end cover 1 is removed, and of course, the shape corresponds to the arrangement mode between the inner runner 3 and the riser 4 in the mold body 2.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the ingate 3 includes an inlet channel 301 and a flow channel 302, the flow channel 302 communicates with the riser 4, the inlet channel 301 is bent, and the bottom communicates with the flow channel 302, so that a first buffer zone for flowing molten metal is formed at the bent portion of the inlet channel 301. The inlet 301 and the flow channel 302 are, as their names suggest, the inlet 301 being a portion where molten metal is poured in, and the flow channel 302 being a portion where molten metal is poured in, and the feeder 4 and the cavity being fed with molten metal.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the inlet channel 301 includes a vertical channel 3011 and a horizontal channel 3012 which are communicated, and the vertical channel 3011 and the horizontal channel 3012 are in an approximately L-shaped structure, and the connection between the two is in a bending arrangement, so that when molten metal enters the horizontal channel 3012 from the vertical channel 3011, the molten metal can receive a certain resistance due to the bending arrangement of the connection, and the molten metal enters the horizontal channel 3012 so that the flow rate of the molten metal is reduced. Of course, the vertical channel 3011 can also be arranged in an inclined manner (not vertically), so that the impact force of molten metal can be further reduced.
As shown in fig. 3, the size of the top opening of the entrance 301 decreases from top to bottom. For example, the top end opening of the inlet channel 301 may be provided in a horn-like structure, so as to make the injection of the molten metal from the inlet channel 301 into the ingate 3 smoother and more convenient.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the bottom end of the flow channel 302 is communicated with the top end of the bottom of the inlet channel 301, so that a second buffer zone for flowing the molten metal is formed at the connection part of the flow channel 302 and the inlet channel 301.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, that is, the cross channel 3012 is located at the bottom end of the flow channel 302, so that after the molten metal enters the cross channel 3012 from the vertical channel 3011, the molten metal flows up into the flow channel 302 from the cross channel 3012 at the bottom, and in this process, the molten metal needs to overcome its own gravity to flow up, so that the flow rate of the molten metal is reduced, and then the second buffering effect is achieved, so that the subsequent molten metal does not have excessive impact force after entering the cavity, and the product forming quality is improved.
In this embodiment, the ingate 3 is specifically arranged in a plurality of ways, including but not limited to the following ways:
In one embodiment, the inlet 301 and the flow channel 302 are disposed on the lower die 202.
It will be appreciated that as shown in fig. 6, the product (motor end cap 1), runner block 5, first riser 4011 and second riser 402 are located within lower die 202 at this time, which makes it difficult to post-demold the product.
In the second mode, the inlet channel 301 and the flow channel 302 are both disposed on the upper die 201.
It will be appreciated that as shown in fig. 6, the product (motor end cap 1), runner block 5, first riser 4011 and second riser 402 are located within upper die 201, which makes the product difficult to open the die body 2.
In the third mode, the inlet channel 301 is provided in the lower die 202, and the flow channel 302 is provided in the upper die 201.
In the fourth mode, the inlet channel 301 is provided in the upper die 201, and the flow channel 302 is provided in the lower die 202.
For the third and fourth modes, namely, a part of the ingate 3 is positioned on the upper die 201 and a part of the ingate 3 is positioned on the lower die 202, so that the ingate 3 is reasonably distributed, namely, all pouring blocks 5 solidified at the later stage are not separately adhered to the upper die 201 or the lower die 202, the overall structure of the die is more reasonable, the follow-up die opening and demoulding processes can be smoother, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. Of course, the specific mode is selected, and those skilled in the art can set the mode according to the actual situation.
The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
Molten metal is injected from the opening of the ingate 3, then the molten metal enters the transverse passage 3012 from the vertical passage 3011 and is buffered for the first time, then the molten metal flows into the flow passage 302 from the transverse passage 3012 at the bottom and is buffered for the second time, the molten metal in the flow passage 302 enters the cavity from the different first riser 401, after the cavity is filled with the molten metal, the molten metal in the cavity enters the second riser 402, the molten metal outside the cavity enters the first riser 401, and finally the required product (the motor end cover 1) can be obtained after cooling and solidification.
The foregoing has outlined the basic principles, features, and advantages of the present application. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that the above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present application, and various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims.
