Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.
Moreover, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, but it is necessary to be based on the fact that those skilled in the art can implement the embodiments, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that the combination of the technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
The invention provides a wheel antigravity casting method, which comprises the following steps: pouring liquid into a mould, cooling, and demoulding to obtain the wheel; the mold is provided with a molding cavity and a pouring gate, wherein the inner rim part of the molding cavity corresponding to the wheel faces the gravity direction, and the outer rim part of the molding cavity corresponding to the wheel faces the gravity opposite direction;
The liquid injection process comprises the following steps:
And (3) liquid lifting stage: the liquid lifting time is 8-12s, the pressure is increased from 0 to 180-240mbar, and the liquid level of the molten metal is increased to the pouring gate of the mould (namely the upper end of the pouring gate sleeve);
The excessive pressure can lead to the liquid lifting speed to be too fast and lead to the splashing of the molten metal, the quality of the wheel is affected, the excessive pressure can lead to the liquid lifting speed to be too slow, and the molten metal is solidified when the wheel is not formed, so that in the process, the pressure is increased from 0 to 180 to 240mbar within 8 to 12 seconds after the liquid lifting stage is started, and the molten metal is increased to the pouring gate of the die under the action of the pressure.
And (3) a filling stage: the filling time is 20-40s, the pressure is increased from 180-240mbar to 280-380mbar, and the molten metal fills the forming cavity in the die from bottom to top;
The excessive filling pressure can cause high filling speed, so that the molten metal generates vortex in the filling process, and the defects of oxidization, air suction and the like are generated, thereby influencing the quality of the wheel; the filling speed is low due to the fact that the filling pressure is too small, so that the molten metal cannot completely fill the cavity, defects such as air holes and shrinkage holes are formed, the quality of the wheel is affected, defects such as cold shut, rough surface and the like are formed, and the appearance quality of the wheel is affected; meanwhile, the casting period can be prolonged and the production efficiency can be reduced due to too low mold filling speed. Therefore, during the filling process, the pressure is increased from 180 to 240mbar to 280 to 380mbar within 20 to 40 seconds after the start of the filling stage.
Pressurization stage: the pressurizing time is 5-12s, and the pressure is increased from 280-380mbar to 700-950mbar;
The excessive pressurizing pressure causes that molten metal flows fast in the casting mould, so that the defects of rough surface, convex hulls and the like are easily formed, the appearance quality of the wheel is influenced, and the post-treatment cost is high; the small pressurizing pressure causes the defects of air holes, looseness and the like in the solidification process of the molten metal, and influences the density and the strength of the wheel, so that the performance of the wheel cannot meet the expected requirement. The pressure is thus increased from 280 to 380mbar to 700 to 950mbar within 5 to 12 seconds after the start of the boost stage.
Pressure maintaining stage: dwell time is 60-180s, pressure is 700-950mbar;
the state of the metal material during solidification can be maintained through the pressure maintaining stage, so that the defects of shrinkage cavity, shrinkage porosity and the like in the process of reducing the temperature of the molten metal are avoided; and the internal porosity of the material can be reduced in the pressure maintaining stage, so that the metallographic structure of the material is more compact, and the mechanical properties of the material, such as toughness, strength, rigidity and the like, are improved. Promoting the homogenization of the grains, preventing the deformation, separation and destruction of the material, avoiding cracks and defects in the material, ensuring the stability and reliability of the product quality, and maintaining the pressure for 60-180s after the start of this stage, since the proper dwell time and proper pressure are important indicators for achieving the above effects.
Decompression stage: the pressure is reduced from 700 to 950mbar to 0 for 20 to 50 seconds.
The wheel is solidified and formed at this stage, the pressure in the system needs to be released, and the pressure in the system can be released through pressure relief, so that the influence of overlarge pressure on the surface quality of the wheel and the service life of the die is avoided, and the subsequent demolding and other processes are facilitated. In the application, as part of the wheel is thinner, and the mold has partial pressure on the wheel, if the pressure is released too fast, the cast wheel can lose support, and the wheel is deformed, so that the pressure is reduced from 700 to 950mbar to 0 within 20 to 50 seconds after the pressure release stage begins.
In some embodiments, the mold comprises an upper mold, a first lower mold, a second lower mold, a side mold, a gate component and a water cooling component, wherein the upper mold, the first lower mold, the second lower mold and the side mold are all in profiling design, the upper mold, the first lower mold, the second lower mold and the side mold are matched to form a forming cavity for casting the wheel, wherein the first lower mold and the second lower mold are matched to form a flange part (the first lower mold and the second lower mold are welded or connected through bolts) of the corresponding forming cavity to the wheel, and the annular water cooling arranged in the inner parts of the upper mold, the first lower mold and the second lower mold have small influence on each other due to no integral molding, so that the integral cooling control of the wheel is facilitated; the first lower die is provided with a pouring gate, and a pouring gate component is arranged in the pouring gate along the same central axis; the upper die is provided with a diversion cone, and the diversion cone, the sprue assembly and the sprue are arranged with the central axis; the water cooling assembly comprises a plurality of water cooling pipelines which are respectively arranged on the split cone, the first lower die, the second lower die and the side die.

The flow dividing cone comprises the cylindrical part and the cone part, the cone part faces the pouring gate, the flow path of molten metal can be effectively controlled, the defects of air holes, shrinkage porosity and the like are avoided, and the quality and the forming effect of the wheel are improved. In addition, the area of the tail end of the sprue can be adjusted by utilizing the dimensional change of the flow dividing cone, so that the molten metal is prevented from directly punching the wall when entering the cavity, excessive molten metal is prevented from being gathered at the bottom of the sprue, and the molten metal flows stably at the corner.
