internal pipe 30 through thecoolant supply passage 17, and is sprayed through the front end portion of theinternal pipe 30. Accordingly, the coolant hits the internal end portion of thecooler insertion hole 5 and inflows into the spiral flow path between thespiral protrusion 33 and the internal circumferential surface of thecooler insertion hole 5. - Therefore, in various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, while flowing through the spiral flow path in the spiral direction thereof, the coolant cools the internal circumferential surface of the
cooler insertion hole 5. - In the instant case, the coolant heated while cooling the internal circumferential surface of the
cooler insertion hole 5 flows into thecoolant exhaust passage 19 through thecoolant flow passage 55 between the external circumferential surface of theinternal pipe 30 and the internal circumferential surface of theexternal pipe 50, and then is expelled to outside through thecoolant exhaust connector 15. - Therefore, the coolant may circulate along such a circulation path and cool the casting
mold part 3 of thedie casting mold 1. - According to a
cooling apparatus 100 of a die casting mold according to various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, since thespiral protrusion 33 to force to the coolant to flow along the spiral direction inside thecooler insertion hole 5 of the castingmold part 3 is formed on theinternal pipe 30, a contact area of the coolant to the internal circumferential surface of thecooler insertion hole 5 may be increased. - Furthermore, in various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as the coolant flowing inside the
cooler insertion hole 5 is guided in the spiral direction through thespiral protrusion 33, the flowability of the coolant and the flow time of the coolant may be maximized. - Accordingly, in various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, cooling performance may be improved for the casting
mold part 3 having a narrow and deep hole, such as a core pin and an insert region, in thedie casting mold 1. - Furthermore, in various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a partial range of the
internal pipe 30 having thespiral protrusion 33 is drilled by thesuper drill 71 to form the hollow 31, and then welded to the remaining range by laser welding, coolant communication performance and durability of theinternal pipe 30 may be increased. - For convenience in explanation and accurate definition in the appended claims, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “inner”, “outer”, “up”, “down”, “upwards”, “downwards”, “front”, “rear”, “back”, “inside”, “outside”, “inwardly”, “outwardly”, “interior”, “exterior”, “internal”, “external”, “forwards”, and “backwards” are used to describe features of the exemplary embodiments with reference to the positions of such features as displayed in the figures. It will be further understood that the term “connect” or its derivatives refer both to direct and indirect connection.
- The foregoing descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described to explain certain principles of the present invention and their practical application, to enable others skilled in the art to make and utilize various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various alternatives and modifications thereof. It is intended that the scope of the present invention be defined by the Claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
