Of course, if the cooling temperature of the cooling element 23 is too low, the heating element 25 must be used to restore the temperature to a suitable temperature range; and The aforementioned semi-solid slurry generator 2 further includes a stirring device for rapidly agitating the semi-solid metal during the rapid cooling of the superheated liquid metal, and the stirring device may use a propeller, a screw or an electromagnetic stirrer 2 2 and so on, so that a shear force can be generated during the gradual solidification of the superheated liquid metal, and the branches formed by it The microstructure is broken to obtain a semi-solid slurry with fine grains. The aforementioned ejector 3 includes: a hollow material tube 30 for temporarily 8 paper sizes applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 555605 A7 B7 printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention () The semi-solid slurry is stored. This hollow tube 3 has a semi-solid slurry outlet from the semi-solid slurry generator 2 described above. 2 0 1 is connected to the entrance 3 0 0, and the other end of the middle tube 30 is provided with a nozzle 31 for injecting a semi-solid slurry into the mold 4, wherein the end of the nozzle 3 1 is the most It is inclined slightly upward, so that the semi-solid slurry can be prevented from dripping or leaking when the nozzle 31 is not connected with the mold 4. One is used to control the hollow material tube 30 and the nozzle 3 1 The temperature control mechanism of the temperature causes the semi-solid acid body to remain in the state of the semi-solid slurry before waiting to be injected into the mold 4, and the temperature control mechanism is the same as the semi-solid slurry generator 2 described above. The temperature control mechanism is similar. The heating element 3 2, 3 2 ′, the cooling element 3 3, 3 3 ′, and the insulating and thermal insulator 34 are formed on the periphery of the hollow material tube 30 and the nozzle 31, and the heating element 32 is implemented. The 3 2 'system can be an electric heating coil or an induction heater, and the cooling element 3 3, 3 3' can be achieved by using a cooling pipe with a cooling fluid flowing therein. As for the cooling fluid, it can be selected from water, air, and low temperature. Gas, heat transfer liquid or other fluids with the same characteristics. In the third stage of this ejector 3, the main purpose of temperature control is to maintain the partially solidified state of the semi-solid slurry, so the temperature of Precise control is very important, and the cooling element 3 3, 3 3 ′ is used to prevent the cooling when the heating temperature is too high; inside the ejector 3, there is also a device for maintaining shear and semi-solid The slurry is injected into the injection device of the mold 4. This injection device uses a screw 3 5 and a check valve 3 6 to inject a semi-solid slurry into the mold 4 held by the clamping unit 6, 9 papers. Standards apply Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X 297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 555605 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () And the injection volume and pressure forming of the semi-solid slurry are also controlled by the screw 3 5 Such a consistent process and equipment not only can obtain castings of good quality and mechanical properties. Because the semi-solid slurry system is produced in large quantities by an independent generator 2, the ejector 3 can be used for metering and measurement. The use of injection will make the overall slurry production large, which is more suitable for the large-scale production of large castings. In the foregoing example, since the semi-solid slurry generator 2 has an opening and closing valve 26 between the outlet 2 01 and the inlet 3 0 0 of the ejector 3, the semi-solid slurry generator can be made. The temperature between 2 and the ejector 3 will not cause obvious interference, which will make the individual temperature control of both of them easier and more accurate; on the other hand, since the semi-solid slurry generator 2 does not need Withstanding the high pressure when the semi-solid slurry is ejected, the wall thickness of the pipe body 21 can be made as thin as possible, which can also make the rapid cooling easier. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The aforementioned mold 4 and clamping unit 6 are similar in structure to the traditional equipment used to form castings, so there are not many The structure is described, and the present invention provides the clamping unit 6 in an inclined manner in accordance with the oblique angle of the nozzle 31 described above, and the clamping unit 6 is driven by the driver 61 to complete the action of contacting or leaving the nozzle 31. Based on the foregoing, the method and device for injection molding of semi-solid metal according to the present invention will have the following advantages in terms of implementation: 1. Rapid cooling of the semi-solid slurry generator in the aforementioned second stage 10 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 555605 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () However, maintaining a uniform temperature with the ejector in the third stage is controlled separately. In terms of temperature control, Officials are easy and do not interfere with each other. 2. The rapid cooling process in the second stage can form a large amount of semi-solid slurry with grains. After the third-stage uniform temperature and good mixing action, a more homogeneous and stable semi-solid slurry can be prepared. 3. The slurry preparation in the second stage does not affect the molding process such as injection, holding cooling and nozzle separation. Therefore, a large amount of semi-solid slurry can be prepared in advance and metered out in the third stage, so it is suitable for the production of large castings. .
