Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a shell mold as referred to in the preamble of claim 1.
- a method of manufacturing a shell mold in which a preheated mold is charged with molding material, such as silica sand mixed with phenolic resin as a caking agent, the molding material is solidified along the forming surface of the mold, the mold is turned over to shake off the excessive molding material and then heated to solidify the shell-shape molding material sticked to the mold, thereby to form a shell, and the shell is finally taken out from the mold, whereby a shell mold is produced.
- molding material such as silica sand mixed with phenolic resin as a caking agent
- the expansion and/or contraction of the metal mold reduce the dimensional precision of a shell mold, and energy consumption is disadvantageously increased.
- uneven thickness of the metal mold results in uneven heat capacity thereof, which easily causes the shell thickness to become uneven.
- the molding material is limited to phenolic resin or the like, which can be heatingly solidified, with a narrow range of choice as to a caking agent.
- the use of expensive molding material is unavoidable.
- a method of manufacturing a shell mold of the type referred to in the preamble of claim 1 is known by AT ⁇ B ⁇ 338448, which describes a mold, having a predetermined forming surface, against which sheet material is pressingly held by negative pressure. As soon as the sheet material is firmly held at the forming surface a special flask is placed on top of it and covered by an additional cover sheet. A suction box surrounding the flask is used to hold the forming material and the sheet material in place. After the flask has been turned upside down the sheet material is dissolved and afterwards solidified to finish the shell mold.
- This method is very complicated and expensive, since it needs two suction boxes and a large amount of forming material as well as a sheet material soluble in a solvent.
- the forming material has to be solidified along the sheet material in a rather particular process.
- the shell mold should be suitable for. a convenient use of a wooden, gypsum or resin mold, which are more economical than a metal mold and capable of being easily manufactured in a short period of time even if its shape is complicated, thus enabling to economically manufacture a shell mold in prompt response to an order received.
- the method of the invention advantageously provides a shell mold in which a mold is not deformed, i.e., expanded and contracted around solidification of molding material due to heat, therefore precision of the shell mold is greatly improved. Thereby a shell mold can be formed which has a substantial uniform thickness without the occurrence of any peel-back.
- a mold 1 horizontally held under a mold 1 is an elastic member in the sheet or film form, for example a vinyl sheet 2. Fire-resisting granular molding material 3 is suitably put on this vinyl sheet 2.
- the mold 1 comprises a hollow suction box 4 having an air intake port 4a connected to a suction means such as a vacuum pump (not shown), a pattern plate 5 having a pattern 5a of predetermined shape and disposed below the suction box 4, and an outer frame 6 surrounding the circumference of the pattern plate 5.
- the pattern plate 5 has therein a suitable number of suction holes 7 which open in the forming surface 5b of the pattern plate 5 and communicate with the inside of the suction box 4. As shown in Fig. 5, each of the suction holes 7 has a filter 8 made of a net member or the like to prevent the molding material from entering into the hole 7.
- the outer frame 6 has in the entire lower periphery thereof a suction groove 9a and a suitable number of air holes 9b which open in the suction groove 9a and communicate with the inside of the suction box 4.
- the vinyl sheet 2 has a circumference suitably larger than that of the outer frame 6 of the mold 1.
- the molding material 3 is put on the vinyl sheet 2 at the center portion thereof such that the circumference of the molding material 3 put on the vinyl sheet 2 is suitably smaller than the inner circumference of the outer frame 6.
- the molding material 3 put on the vinyl sheet 2 has a substantially uniform thickness.
- the molding material 3 is constituted by silica sand to which 2 to 7% of sodium silicate is added as a caking agent. Such molding material 3 is adapted to be solidified by passing carbonic acid gas through the molding material 3 in an ambient temperature. As necessary, facing sand 3a may be put on the surface of the molding material 3 in order to obtain a good mold surface, as shown in Fig. 1
- the mold 1 is lowered such that the lower end of the outer frame 6 of the mold 1 comes in contact with that peripheral portion 2a of the vinyl sheet 2 on which the molding material 3 is not put.
- the pressure in the suction box 4 is reduced by operating the suction means (not shown) connected to the air intake port 4.
- the peripheral portion 2a of the vinyl sheet 2 is held against the lower end of the outer frame 6 by a suction force acting on the suction groove 9a through the air holes 9b.
- a negative pressure is then produced in the space surrounded by the vinyl sheet 2 and the mold 1, through the suction holes 7.
- the molding material 3 is formed into a shell shape along the forming surface 5b of the mold 1. Namely, since a negative pressure is produced at the side of the molding material 3 on the vinyl sheet 2, the vinyl sheet 2 is extendingly pressed toward the forming surface 5b by the outside pressure.
- the molding material 3 is then pressingly held and formed by the mold 1 and the vinyl sheet 2 as shown in Fig. 2. In this step, the molding material 3 is compressingly formed into a shell shape having a substantially uniform thickness along the forming surface 5b.
- the mold 1 With the molding material 3 maintained as it is, the mold 1 is turned over as shown in Fig. 3. Carbonic acid gas then passes through the molding material 3 by a suitable means. At this time, a shock or vibration may be applied to the molding material 3 by a vibrator or the like (not shown) such that the molding material 3 is further uniformly or evenly distributed.
- the shell is taken out from the mold 1 by a suitable means (not shown) and the vinyl sheet 2 is taken off from the shell, so that a desired shell mold 3' is obtained. It is to be noted that the vinyl sheet 2 may be taken off before carbonic acid gas passes through the molding material 3.
- the molding material 3 is solidified as pressingly held and formed into a shell shape along the forming surface 5b, by the mold 1 and the vinyl sheet 2.
- Such solidification is made according to the C0 2 process above-mentioned which requires no heating step. This eliminates the necessity of using an expensive metal mold difficult to manufacture, as the mold 1 and in particular the pattern 5a of complicated shape. That is, there may be used an economical wooden, gypsum or resin mold easy to manufacture.
- the mold 1 may be economically manufactured in a short period of time, thus presenting an advantage that a prompt action can be taken when an order is received.
- the mold 1 since it is not required to heat the mold 1, the mold 1 is not deformed, i.e., neither expanded nor contracted. Thus, precision of the shell mold 3' may be greatly improved.
- the mold surface 3'a of the shell mold 3' may be made fine, thereby to improve the mold surface.
- solidification of the molding material 3 may be made according to various methods to be applied in an ambient temperature, such as a cold box process.
- an ambient temperature such as a cold box process.
- sodium silicate there may be suitably used other inorganic or organic caking agents.
- molding material formed by silica sand mixed with 2 to 7% of sodium silicate or 1 to 3% of a water solution of starch is pressingly held and formed into a shell shape in the same manner as above-mentioned.
- the mold 1 may be heated within limits not thermally prejudiciary to the mold 1. Namely, the molding material 3 may be solidified by suitable means either in a cold atmosphere or a warm atmosphere, dependent on the characteristics of the mold 1. However, it is a matter of course that the foregoing does not prohibit the use of a metal mold.
- the mold 1 With the molding material 3 pressingly held and formed into a shell by the mold 1 and the vinyl sheet 2, the mold 1 is turned over and the molding material 3 is solidified. Therefore, a dense shell having a uniform thickness may be formed and no peel-back takes place.
- the molding material 3 is not required to be heated to a high temperature, but may be solidified in a cold or warm atmosphere. Therefore, gas is not generated, or even if generated, the amount is extremely small, and no operations in a high temperature are required, thus presenting an advantage in view of environmental sanitation. Even if gas should be generated, such gas may be quickly eliminated from the air intake port 4a of the suction box 4 through the suction holes 7.
- vinyl sheet 2 is used as the elastic member in the embodiment discussed hereinbefore, an elastic sheet or film for example a rubber sheet may also be used.

Description
- The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a shell mold as referred to in the preamble of
claim 1. - There is conventionally known a method of manufacturing a shell mold, in which a preheated mold is charged with molding material, such as silica sand mixed with phenolic resin as a caking agent, the molding material is solidified along the forming surface of the mold, the mold is turned over to shake off the excessive molding material and then heated to solidify the shell-shape molding material sticked to the mold, thereby to form a shell, and the shell is finally taken out from the mold, whereby a shell mold is produced.
- According to such conventional manufacturing method, however, since the molding material is heatingly solidified, it is required to use, as a mold, a metal mold which is expensive and difficult to manufacture. Accordingly, such metal mold cannot be manufactured in a short period of time, so that prompt action cannot be taken even if an order is received. Furthermore, such expensive mold is not favorable in view of manufacturing economical efficiency.
- According to the conventional method, since there is used a metal mold having a high coefficient of thermal expansion, the expansion and/or contraction of the metal mold reduce the dimensional precision of a shell mold, and energy consumption is disadvantageously increased.
- Such conventional method requires operations in a high temperature and produces a great quantity of gas, thus causing trouble in view of environmental sanitation.
- According to such conventional method, since molding material is merely put in a metal mold and sticked thereto in the shell shape, such solidified molding material in the shell shape is not so dense. Therefore, when the metal mold is turned over, peal-back easily takes place.
- Furthermore, uneven thickness of the metal mold results in uneven heat capacity thereof, which easily causes the shell thickness to become uneven.
- According to such conventional method, the molding material is limited to phenolic resin or the like, which can be heatingly solidified, with a narrow range of choice as to a caking agent. Thus, the use of expensive molding material is unavoidable.
- A method of manufacturing a shell mold of the type referred to in the preamble of
claim 1 is known by AT―B―338448, which describes a mold, having a predetermined forming surface, against which sheet material is pressingly held by negative pressure. As soon as the sheet material is firmly held at the forming surface a special flask is placed on top of it and covered by an additional cover sheet. A suction box surrounding the flask is used to hold the forming material and the sheet material in place. After the flask has been turned upside down the sheet material is dissolved and afterwards solidified to finish the shell mold. This method is very complicated and expensive, since it needs two suction boxes and a large amount of forming material as well as a sheet material soluble in a solvent. The forming material has to be solidified along the sheet material in a rather particular process. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a shell mold in which molding material can be solidified in a cold or warm atmosphere, without the necessity of heating a mold to a high temperature and without the need of a large amount of molding material. The shell mold should be suitable for. a convenient use of a wooden, gypsum or resin mold, which are more economical than a metal mold and capable of being easily manufactured in a short period of time even if its shape is complicated, thus enabling to economically manufacture a shell mold in prompt response to an order received.
- The problem of the invention is solved by the measures set out in the characterizing portion of
claim 1. - The method of the invention advantageously provides a shell mold in which a mold is not deformed, i.e., expanded and contracted around solidification of molding material due to heat, therefore precision of the shell mold is greatly improved. Thereby a shell mold can be formed which has a substantial uniform thickness without the occurrence of any peel-back.
- The present invention will be further described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 is a section view of a first step of the present invention, illustrating molding material put on an elastic member horizontally held under a mold;
- Fig. 2 is a section view of a second step of the present invention, illustrating the molding material pressingly held and formed into a shell shape by the mold and the elastic member, with a negative pressure provided therebetween;
- Fig. 3 is a section view of a third step of the present invention, illustrating the molding material solidified after the mold has been turned over;
- Fig. 4 is a section view of a fourth step of the present invention, illustrating the shell taken out from the mold;
- Fig. 5 is an enlarged section view of main portions in Fig. 1; and
- Fig. 6 is an enlarged section view of main portions taken along the line VI-VI in Fig. 1.
- The description hereinafter will discuss in detail a method of manufacturing a shell mold, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- As shown in Fig. 1, horizontally held under a
mold 1 is an elastic member in the sheet or film form, for example avinyl sheet 2. Fire-resistinggranular molding material 3 is suitably put on thisvinyl sheet 2. - The
mold 1 comprises ahollow suction box 4 having anair intake port 4a connected to a suction means such as a vacuum pump (not shown), apattern plate 5 having apattern 5a of predetermined shape and disposed below thesuction box 4, and anouter frame 6 surrounding the circumference of thepattern plate 5. Thepattern plate 5 has therein a suitable number ofsuction holes 7 which open in the formingsurface 5b of thepattern plate 5 and communicate with the inside of thesuction box 4. As shown in Fig. 5, each of thesuction holes 7 has afilter 8 made of a net member or the like to prevent the molding material from entering into thehole 7. - As shown in Fig. 6, the
outer frame 6 has in the entire lower periphery thereof asuction groove 9a and a suitable number ofair holes 9b which open in thesuction groove 9a and communicate with the inside of thesuction box 4. - The
vinyl sheet 2 has a circumference suitably larger than that of theouter frame 6 of themold 1. Themolding material 3 is put on thevinyl sheet 2 at the center portion thereof such that the circumference of themolding material 3 put on thevinyl sheet 2 is suitably smaller than the inner circumference of theouter frame 6. Themolding material 3 put on thevinyl sheet 2 has a substantially uniform thickness. - The
molding material 3 is constituted by silica sand to which 2 to 7% of sodium silicate is added as a caking agent.Such molding material 3 is adapted to be solidified by passing carbonic acid gas through themolding material 3 in an ambient temperature. As necessary, facingsand 3a may be put on the surface of themolding material 3 in order to obtain a good mold surface, as shown in Fig. 1 - From the state shown in Fig. 1, the
mold 1 is lowered such that the lower end of theouter frame 6 of themold 1 comes in contact with thatperipheral portion 2a of thevinyl sheet 2 on which themolding material 3 is not put. The pressure in thesuction box 4 is reduced by operating the suction means (not shown) connected to theair intake port 4. - When the inside of the
suction box 4 is thus sucked so that the pressure therein is reduced, as shown in Fig. 2 theperipheral portion 2a of thevinyl sheet 2 is held against the lower end of theouter frame 6 by a suction force acting on thesuction groove 9a through theair holes 9b. A negative pressure is then produced in the space surrounded by thevinyl sheet 2 and themold 1, through thesuction holes 7. Thus, themolding material 3 is formed into a shell shape along the formingsurface 5b of themold 1. Namely, since a negative pressure is produced at the side of themolding material 3 on thevinyl sheet 2, thevinyl sheet 2 is extendingly pressed toward the formingsurface 5b by the outside pressure. Themolding material 3 is then pressingly held and formed by themold 1 and thevinyl sheet 2 as shown in Fig. 2. In this step, themolding material 3 is compressingly formed into a shell shape having a substantially uniform thickness along the formingsurface 5b. - With the
molding material 3 maintained as it is, themold 1 is turned over as shown in Fig. 3. Carbonic acid gas then passes through themolding material 3 by a suitable means. At this time, a shock or vibration may be applied to themolding material 3 by a vibrator or the like (not shown) such that themolding material 3 is further uniformly or evenly distributed. - When carbonic acid gas passes through the
molding material 3, sodium silicate in themolding material 3 reacts to the carbonic acid gas to produce silica gel, thereby to solidify themolding material 3 to form a shell. Such solidification is generally called a C02 process. - As shown in Fig. 4, the shell is taken out from the
mold 1 by a suitable means (not shown) and thevinyl sheet 2 is taken off from the shell, so that a desired shell mold 3' is obtained. It is to be noted that thevinyl sheet 2 may be taken off before carbonic acid gas passes through themolding material 3. - According to such method of manufacturing a shell mold, the
molding material 3 is solidified as pressingly held and formed into a shell shape along the formingsurface 5b, by themold 1 and thevinyl sheet 2. Such solidification is made according to the C02 process above-mentioned which requires no heating step. This eliminates the necessity of using an expensive metal mold difficult to manufacture, as themold 1 and in particular thepattern 5a of complicated shape. That is, there may be used an economical wooden, gypsum or resin mold easy to manufacture. - Accordingly, the
mold 1 may be economically manufactured in a short period of time, thus presenting an advantage that a prompt action can be taken when an order is received. - According to the present invention, since it is not required to heat the
mold 1, themold 1 is not deformed, i.e., neither expanded nor contracted. Thus, precision of the shell mold 3' may be greatly improved. - As shown in the embodiment discussed hereinbefore, with the use of the facing
sand 3a, the mold surface 3'a of the shell mold 3' may be made fine, thereby to improve the mold surface. - Besides the C02 process, solidification of the
molding material 3 may be made according to various methods to be applied in an ambient temperature, such as a cold box process. In such a case, besides sodium silicate, there may be suitably used other inorganic or organic caking agents. - According to another embodiment of the present invention, molding material formed by silica sand mixed with 2 to 7% of sodium silicate or 1 to 3% of a water solution of starch is pressingly held and formed into a shell shape in the same manner as above-mentioned.
- Blown to the molding material is air which is warm to such extent as not to thermally impair the mold. Thus, moisture contained in the molding material is evaporated to solidify the molding material.
- In order to accelerate solidification of the
molding material 3, themold 1 may be heated within limits not thermally prejudiciary to themold 1. Namely, themolding material 3 may be solidified by suitable means either in a cold atmosphere or a warm atmosphere, dependent on the characteristics of themold 1. However, it is a matter of course that the foregoing does not prohibit the use of a metal mold. - According to the present invention, with the
molding material 3 pressingly held and formed into a shell by themold 1 and thevinyl sheet 2, themold 1 is turned over and themolding material 3 is solidified. Therefore, a dense shell having a uniform thickness may be formed and no peel-back takes place. - According to the present invention, the
molding material 3 is not required to be heated to a high temperature, but may be solidified in a cold or warm atmosphere. Therefore, gas is not generated, or even if generated, the amount is extremely small, and no operations in a high temperature are required, thus presenting an advantage in view of environmental sanitation. Even if gas should be generated, such gas may be quickly eliminated from theair intake port 4a of thesuction box 4 through the suction holes 7. - While the
vinyl sheet 2 is used as the elastic member in the embodiment discussed hereinbefore, an elastic sheet or film for example a rubber sheet may also be used. - It is not necessarily required to hold the
elastic member 2 such as a vinyl sheet in a horizontal manner as shown in Fig. 1, but it is merely required to hold theelastic member 2 such that themolding material 3 put thereon does not flow down. - The
molding material 3 is not limited to silica sand mixed with sodium silicate or a water solution of starch to be solidified according to the C02 process or the like, but can be suitably selected dependent on a selected solidification process. - The number of the pattern plates is not limited to one as done in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, but a plurality of pattern plates may be disposed.'Thus, various kinds of shell molds can be conveniently manufactured at the same time.
- Although in the embodiment discussed hereinbefore, the
molding material 3 is solidified after themold 1 has been turned over, the molding material may be solidified in the step shown in Fig. 2 before themold 1 is turned over. - In order to facilitate the removal of the shell mold 3' from the
mold 1, a shell removing agent may be suitably applied to the formingsurface 5b of themold 1.
