This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710482417.X, filed on Jun. 22, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The utility model relates to a wheel mold.
In the production process of a low-pressure cast wheel mold, the hot spot at the root of an aluminum wheel spoke is a bottleneck constraining the production efficiency and the improvement on spoke performance all the time. In order to ensure cooling of this area, cooling of other parts is weakened by prolonging the production time in the prior art to wait solidification of the hot spot at the root.
The invention provides a plunger for strengthening spoke hot spot cooling.
A plunger for strengthening spoke root R angle cooling includes: a plunger main body, a blind hole, vent holes, an annular groove, air outlet pipes, an annular air pipe, an air inlet pipe, a step transition surface, a I section fitting surface and a II section fitting surface. The plunger main body is step-shaped and provided with the blind hole, and the vent holes are uniformly distributed around the blind hole; the annular groove is formed in the plunger main body, and connects the blind hole with the vent holes; and the air outlet pipes are inserted into the blind hole. The annular air pipe connects the air inlet pipe with the air outlet pipes and distributes cooling air entering from the air inlet pipe to each air outlet pipe, and the diameter of the air inlet pipe is not smaller than two times that of the air outlet pipe.
The distance between the air outlet pipes and the bottom of the blind hole is 1-1.5 times the radius of the blind hole, and the quantity of the air outlet pipes is determined according to the structure of a product.
The width of the step transition surface is 2-4 mm; the plunger main body is provided with two fitting surfaces fitting a wheel mold, that is, the I section fitting surface and the II section fitting surface, the length of the I section fitting surface is within 10 mm, and a fitting clearance between the II section fitting surface and the wheel mold is 0.1-0.2 mm; and the roughness of the step transition surface and the I section fitting surface is required to be not less than 12.5.
The diameter of the vent hole is 1-2 mm, and the number of the vent holes is 18-40.
The plunger main body is connected with the wheel mold via a welding or thread.
In the invention, based on the difference of direct heat transfer and indirect heat transfer, thermal contact resistance is sufficiently utilized, the hot spot at the root is directly forcibly cooled, and other parts are configured to indirectly transfer heat by using the thermal contact resistance, so that the negative influence is furthest reduced.
