Abstract

A method and an apparatus for supplying molten metal to a casting machine wherein the amount of molten metal supplied can be controlled precisely and defective castings caused by slag in the molten metal can be prevented. Material supply means supplies a ladle with a suitable amount of a casting material for one shot of casting in a solid state. After the solid casting material is melted into molten metal, the molten metal is supplied from the ladle to the casting machine. By controlling the amount of molten metal supplied by means of the casting material in the solid state, the precision of quantity control of molten metal can be enhanced. In addition, because the molten metal is supplied from the ladle to the casting machine soon after the casting material is melted, the time for molten metal to be exposed to the air can be shortened, and slag generation due to molten metal oxidization can be suppressed.

Description

The method and apparatus of molten metal feed
The present invention relates to use the method and apparatus of ladle to the casting machine molten metal feed.
In casting, the operation of molten metal feed is undertaken by following manner, promptly, dip the motlten metal that temporarily is stored in the motlten metal storing furnace with a ladle, the ladle that fills motlten metal is delivered to casting machine, and the inclination ladle, motlten metal is poured into mould.
The motlten metal amount of delivering to mould must be suitable for the cavity dimension of mould.When the supply of motlten metal too hour, in the situation of gravity casting, rising head can not play a role well, and in the situation of die casting, residual cake is then too thin, insufficient pressure can not obtain good foundry goods to be delivered to product section.On the other hand, when the motlten metal supply was too big, in the situation of gravity casting, motlten metal was from die cavity overflow and aggravating working environment, and in the situation of die casting, residual cake is then too thick, and the chuck of the residual cake of clamping can not suitably be clamped residual cake, and foundry goods is difficult to take out.In addition, the thickness of residual cake finally can influence the high speed phase and the low speed phase of as-cast condition, thereby causes some quality problems.As you know, in the die casting field, residual cake is meant the part that forms between plunger end and the sheet stamen (spool core).Before motlten metal solidified, pressure acted on product section by the motlten metal in the residual cake part.After casting is finished, clamp residual cake so that foundry goods is taken out from mould with chuck.
In the prior art, the motlten metal supply is by regulating the ladle inclination angle or using ladle to utilize load detection device such as dynamometer to control when the motlten metal storing furnace dips motlten metal.More particularly, make predetermined angle of ladle inclination immerse the motlten metal storing furnace, keep the ladle inclination angle, ladle is risen to motlten metal storing furnace top.The another kind of practice is, with the motlten metal amount in load detection device such as the dynamometer detection ladle, then, if necessary, regulate the inclination angle of ladle meticulously, make too much motlten metal overflow (patent application that sees also Japanese unexamined discloses the clear 63-309367 of text number).
Yet, in above-mentioned common method,, thereby be difficult to accurately control the motlten metal supply because the motlten metal supply is by regulating the ladle inclination angle or use dynamometer to detect the motlten metal amount in the ladle and controlled.That is to say, controlling in the situation of motlten metal supply by regulating the ladle inclination angle that the ladle tilting gearing that is used to change the ladle inclination angle will change in chronological order, the motlten metal supply can not accurately be made repercussion rapidly according to above-mentioned variation.On the other hand, detecting with dynamometer in the situation of the motlten metal amount in the ladle, because ladle is fixed on the lower end of elongated delivery of molten metal arm usually, thereby the delivery of molten metal arm is often fine crooked according to the ladle inclination angle, and the feasible motlten metal amount that is difficult to accurately measure in the ladle of this bending of delivery of molten metal arm.
In addition, in above-mentioned common method, because motlten metal temporarily is stored in the motlten metal storing furnace, thereby motlten metal is exposed to air for a long time, promoted the oxidation of motlten metal, thereby can generate slag.The generation of slag has reduced the precision of motlten metal supply, and can cause product defects when slag is delivered to casting machine with motlten metal.

The supply of ladle 24 and discharging duct 28 have a sloping portion 28a who extends along oblique below from the center of the lower end of container part 26, and an integrally formed vertical opening portion 28b on the front end of sloping portion 28a.Vertical opening portion 28b leaves the certain horizontal range of container part 26.
In this equipment, closure plate 30 moves forward in the horizontal direction owing to the control of control section 31, thereby air duct 27 is communicated with atmosphere.Then, handle unillustrated lowering or hoisting gear, fall ladle 24, make it immerse motlten metal storing furnace 15.Therefore, motlten metal enters container part 26 from motlten metal storing furnace 25 by supply and discharging duct 28.When motlten metal arrives the inside top surface of container part 26, the motlten metal in the feeler 29 contacting molten metal storing furnaces 25, and to signal of control section 31 outputs.The control section 31 control closure plates 30 of having received above-mentioned signal are gone up and are moved so that closed air duct 27 in horizontal backward directions (among Fig. 7 to the right direction).Therefore, an amount of motlten metal of an injection accurately can be contained in the ladle 24.When motlten metal being kept in the ladle 24, ladle 24 is delivered to plunger bushing 17 by unillustrated conveying device, makes the vertical opening portion 28b in supply and discharging duct 28 be placed on the supply orifice 17a place of plunger bushing 17.Then, by control part 31 controls, closure plate 30 moves forward on forward direction of level (among Fig. 7 left direction), makes air duct 30 be communicated with atmosphere, thereby the whole motlten metals 15 in the container part 26 can be delivered to supply orifice 17a from supply and discharging duct 28.
As mentioned above, only by falling, rise ladle 24 and moving in the horizontal direction closure plate 30, the motlten metal of scheduled volume just can be sent to and leave in the ladle 24, motlten metal in the ladle 24 can be sent to plunger bushing 17, and the motlten metal amount that is supplied can be controlled accurately.
In addition, when the motlten metal amount of control in the ladle 24 or when the motlten metal in the ladle 24 is delivered to plunger bushing 17, need not to make ladle 24 to tilt, therefore, do not need to tilt the mechanism of ladle 24, thus but the structure of simplified apparatus.
In addition, in motlten metal storing furnace 25, have slag around motlten metal 15 surfaces, still, the vertical opening portion 28b in supply and discharging duct 28 reaches near the bottom of motlten metal storing furnace 25.Thereby can deliver to container part 26 by this supply and discharging duct 28 at the motlten metal of the no slag in deep.In addition, when ladle 24 when motlten metal storing furnace 25 is delivered to plunger bushing, the motlten metal 15 in the container part 26 is the vertical opening portion 28b ingress of air by supply and discharging duct 28 just.Because little, thereby produce slag hardly with the contact area of air.Therefore, the motlten metal that contains few slag can be delivered to plunger bushing 17 from ladle 24, thereby has prevented the product defects that slag causes.
In addition, because 26 1 horizontal ranges of container part are left in supply and discharging duct 28, and need not ladle 24 when molten metal feed, thereby must worry that hardly ladle 24 can damage the part of casting machine as fixing platen 32 when molten metal feed.Therefore, the supply orifice 17a of plunger bushing 17 can place near fixing platen 32, and this just makes plunger bushing 17 can have bigger diameter and less length.
Obviously can make many modifications and variations and not exceed scope of the present invention above-mentioned technology contents of the present invention.
