The existing bus duct elbow die-casting die generally comprises a movable die and a fixed die, during die-casting production, molten metal liquid is injected through a feed inlet of the die through a jet-casting system, is guided by a runner system and then is filled into a cavity, and is cooled and solidified in a pressure-maintaining state to obtain a product, the conventional die runner design is focused on shortening the filling time, and a sprue gate and the cavity are directly connected by a straight-through runner or a simple split-flow structure, so that the elbow cavity with a complex shape can be ensured to be filled with the molten metal rapidly. Because the direct current channel of the conventional die lacks an effective buffering and steady flow structure, high-temperature molten metal directly impacts the inlet of the die cavity at extremely high speed under the action of injection pressure, so that the molten metal is in a state of intense turbulence and splashing, the air in the channel or the die cavity is easily involved in the molten metal in a state of intense turbulence, and air holes or pinhole defects are formed after castings are cooled, meanwhile, because the conventional pouring system lacks a physical isolation design for cold-contaminated metal and oxide skin, cold materials and impurities at a molten metal flow head directly enter a bus duct elbow forming area along with the main fluid, the density of the internal structure of a product is reduced due to the fact that the impurities are mixed, cold partitions or slag inclusions are formed on the surface of the castings, and the conductivity and mechanical strength of the bus duct elbow are seriously affected.
