Зажимное устройство с металлическим запорным штоком для блокировки заливочного канала в процессе производства литых стальных колес

Номер: RU0000175212U1

Настоящая полезная модель описывает зажимное устройство с металлическим запорным штоком для блокировки заливочного канала в процессе производства литых стальных колес, содержащее: чугунную раму, подвижный регулировочный паз, внутренний крепежный ствол, первый белый керамический шарик, второй белый керамический шарик, третий белый керамический шарик, удерживающую пружину, болт регулирования давления, нажимную кнопку управления, секторную пластину, металлический запорный шток и блокирующий чугунный брусок; при этом подвижный регулировочный паз выполнен в чугунной раме и жестко соединен с внутренним крепежным стволом, на котором смонтирован первый белый керамический шарик, второй белый керамический шарик и третий белый керамический шарик; удерживающая пружина смонтирована на первом белом керамическом шарике; а болт регулирования давления установлен на удерживающей пружине. В предлагаемом устройстве подпружиненные белые керамические шарики обеспечивают прочный захват металлического запорного штока, прижатого к верхней графитовой опоке, предотвращая соскальзывание вниз металлического запорного штока во время перемещения опоки; при этом металлический запорный шток контактирует только с тремя белыми керамическими шариками, вследствие чего металлический запорный шток оказывается полностью изолированным от верхней графитовой опоки, что исключает возмущения в канале приема сигналов. Это устройство характеризуется надежностью при многократном использовании в течение длительного периода времени, а запорный шток отличается простотой сборки и проходит испытания на предмет соответствия различным эксплуатационным требованиям.

METHODS OF CASTING SCROLL COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

Номер: US20130087299A1
Принадлежит:

Methods of casting improved scroll compressor components having high quality involute portions are provided. The casting method comprises gating molten metal through a patterned region of a core or mold defining the involute vanes. In certain aspects, during casting, molten metal passes through one or more gates that extend through a core in a central patterned region that forms the involute portion of the scroll component. In certain variations, the metal comprises a gray cast iron, so the cast part comprises an involute having a matrix of pearlite and Type A graphite that is substantially free of undercooling defects.

A lightweight metal mold having a necessary rigidity is realized. Firstly, an original pattern of an evaporative pattern is formed by machining an evaporative material block. The original pattern includes a three-dimensional mesh structure including a plurality of bar-shaped parts and connecting points that connect ends of the bar-shaped parts and are distributed in a three-dimensional space, and a plurality of block parts having fixed relative positional relationship by being fixed to the three-dimensional mesh structure. Then, at least a portion of at least one or more of the bar-shaped parts composing the original pattern is removed, and replaced with a tube member. Then, a full-mold casting is performed by using the evaporative pattern having the replaced tube member. Positional relationship of the block parts in which surfaces, etc. necessary for the metal mold are formed is fixed by the three-dimensional mesh structure, and the necessary rigidity is secured. The metal mold is made lighter by using the three-dimensional mesh structure. Due to the replacement with the tube member, an amount of gas generated upon the full-mold casting is suppressed, and a decrease in casting quality is prevented.

The present invention discloses a die-casting mold structure for a thin-walled mini zinc alloy shell. The mold structure includes a longitudinal runner, a transverse runner, an end runner, and a mold cavity all connected serially to provide a path for a liquid metal. The end runner and the mold cavity are connected through an in-gate. The liquid metal flows through the in-gate and enters the mold cavity at an incidence angle of approximately 30 to 45 degrees. The liquid metal is incident on the mold cavity near the rear end surface of the mold cavity. The direction of the liquid metal flow is controlled as the liquid metal flows through the runners and into the cavity so as to reduce the amount of air mixed into the liquid metal. The result is that the liquid metal can fill the mold cavity more satisfactorily, reducing casting defects and increasing product yield.

The present invention discloses a die-casting mold structure for a thin-walled shell for electrical connectors and a method for designing the mold structure. The runner of the mold structure includes a longitudinal runner, a transverse runner, an end runner, and an in-gate connected sequentially. The cross-sectional areas of the longitudinal runner, the transverse runner, the end runner, and the in-gate decrease progressively. The cross sections of the longitudinal runner and the transverse runner may be oval or circular in shape. The perimeter-to-area ratio of the oval cross section of the longitudinal runner and of the transverse runner is smaller than the ratio for a runner with a rectangular cross section of the same area. The method may be used to calculate the in-gate area. Cold shuts and gas entrapment during the molding process are reduced, enhancing the quality of the thin-walled shell and raising the efficiency of the design process. 1. A die-casting mold structure for a thin-walled shell of an electrical connector , comprising:a mold cavity;an overflow; anda runner structure that provides a path for a liquid metal to flow into the mold cavity and the overflow;wherein an area of the cross section of the runner structure is progressively smaller in a direction of flow of the liquid metal, and wherein the cross section of a part of the runner structure has a perimeter-to-area ratio smaller than a perimeter-to-area ratio of a rectangular or a square cross section of the same area.2. The die-casting mold structure of claim 1 , wherein the runner structure comprises a longitudinal runner claim 1 , a transverse runner claim 1 , an end runner claim 1 , and an in-gate claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal runner claim 1 , the transverse runner claim 1 , the end runner claim 1 , and the in-gate are connected sequentially claim 1 , and wherein the end runner connects to the mold cavity at the in-gate.3. The die-casting mold structure of claim 2 , wherein the cross ...
