Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for the pressure molding of metal parts, in particular of aluminum and lithium alloys or of magnesium alloys, said alloys possibly containing ceramic fibers, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US-A 3,058,179 had already, for an entirely different purpose, produced a machine which partially addresses the interaction problem.
  • the container is here supplied, sheltered from air, by means of a piping plunging into a sealed container containing the metal to be molded in the liquid state and provided at its upper part with an inlet for pressurized inert gas by means of which an overpressure is created on the surface of the liquid to send the latter into the container.
  • the air contained in the cylinder where the piston slides and which surrounds the piston rod is found to be put in relation with the liquid supply piping to the container.
  • the metal contained in the piping begins to flow back towards the container, it sucks this air and is thus oxidized.
  • inert gas is blown under a pressure Pi into the piping.
  • this gas can spread into the mold cavity thereby purging it of the air it contains.
  • This gas then fills the entire volume bonded between the metal and its pressure expels the air which comes from the piston cylinder.
  • the length of the piston must be greater than the height of the orifice both in relation to the piping with the container so that the metal is pushed back before the cylinder is put in relation to the piping. Subsequently, when the piston goes down and unmask the orifice, the gas blown then under low pressure will enter the container and prevent any entry of air from the mold which is then opened and this until the value of P 2 which has been reduced to 0 to facilitate the return of the metal to the container is increased to start a new molding cycle.
  • a kind of pocket placed on top of the piping and inside which a gas blanket is kept to prevent the entry of metal into the system. insufflation.
  • This pocket is equipped with a probe which detects an abnormal reduction in the height of the gas mattress and then commands the opening of a special valve responsible for ensuring the additional pressure necessary to maintain the desired height.
  • the value of P 2 must be at least equal to the value of the metallostatic pressure exerted by the metal when it fills the imprint. As for the difference Pi - P 2 it is of the order of 0.01 MPa.
  • FIG. 1 a distinction is made between the fixed lower plate 1 and the mobile upper plate 2 of a vertical die-casting machine. Between these plates is placed the mold 3 having an imprint 4.
  • the lower plate is equipped with an injection device constituted by the container 5 in which slides the piston 6 supported by the rod 7 driven by a reciprocating movement and comes under the effect of the jack 18.
  • Said container is connected via the orifice 8 to the pipe 9 which plunges into the bath 10 of metal to be molded contained in the crucible 11 placed in the sealed container 12 which can be pressurized via the gas inlet 13 in order to send the metal through the piping 9 to the container 5.
  • an inert gas is blown into the pipeline 14 at a point 15 in the piping 9 according to a pressure linked to the pressure prevailing in the container as a function of the position of the piston detected by the probe 17, pressure which can be controlled by the differential pressure regulator 16.
  • Figure 2 we find the elements of Figure 1 namely the container 5, the piston 6, the rod 7, the orifice 8, the piping 9, the metal bath 10, the crucible 11, the container 12, l gas inlet 13, the pipe 14, the blowing point 15, the pressure gauge 16 and the probe 17.
  • the molding cycle is then restarted.

Claims (4)

1. Kühlkammer-Druckgießmaschine für die Herstellung von Metallteilen, die evtl. Keramikfasern enthalten, gebildet aus einer festen unteren Platte (1) und einer beweglichen oberen Platte (2) zwischen denen eine Form (3) angeordnet ist, die einen Abdruck bzw. eine Vertiefung (4) des zu gießenden Teiles aufweist, wobei die untere Platte mit einer Einspritzvorrichtung ausgerüstet ist, die durch einen Container oder Behälter (5) gebildet ist in dem ein Kolben (6) gleitet, der von einer Stange (7) getragen wird, wobei der Behälter durch die Offnung (8) mit einer Rohranordnung (9) verbunden ist, die in ein Flüssigmetallbad (10) zum Vergießen taucht, das in einem dichten Behälter (12) enthalten ist, wobei der Behälter unter einen Druck P2 mittels einer Gaseinführung (13) gesetzt werden kann, um das Metall in Richtung auf den Container zu befördern, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß mit dem Ziel ein jegliches Abgießen des flüssigen Metalls auf die Kolbenstange und einen jeglichen Eintritt von Luft in die Rohranordnung (9) zu verhindern, die Rohranordnung in einem Punkt (15) seiner Seitenwand in der Nähe des Containers (5) mit einer Zuführung von Inertgas (14) und einer Tasche ausgerüstet ist, die unter einem Druck P1 steht, der von der Stellung des Kolbens (6) und des Druckes P2 abhängt.
2. Maschine nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß P2 größer als P1 während der Metallzuführperiode zum Container und zur Hohlform bzw. Vertiefung ist, P1 größer wird als P2 in dem Moment, wo der Kolben in seiner austeigenden Bewegung die Öffnung (8) überdeckt.
3. Maschine nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Wert P1 in dem Moment reduziert wird, wo der Kolben in seiner absteigenden Bewegung die Öffnung (8) freigibt und das bis P2 ansteigt.
4. Maschine nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Unterschiede der Drücke P1 und P2 mit Hilfe eines Differenzialmanometers (16) erhalten werden, das durch einen Fühler (17) gesteuert wird.
