Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for low-pressure casting, and more particularly to those which facilitate automation of the casting step.
- Low-pressure casting has been wide used for mass production of, for instance, cylinder heads of automotive engines.
- molten light metal such as aluminum alloy held in a tightly enclosed vessel is cast in a cavity in a mold under a relatively low pressure of inert gas or air applied to the surface of the molten metal.
- the mold employed in such low-pressure casting is of metal and comprises a lower mold, an upper mold which is moved up and down toward and away from the lower mold and a pair of slide molds which are disposed between the upper and lower molds to be movable left and right and are slidably engaged with the upper and lower molds. When these molds are closed, a cavity having a shape conforming to the shape of a product to be cast is formed.
- molten metal cannot be fed deep into the cavity or flow marks can be generated on the surface of the product. Further the mold can expand due to heat of the molten metal and the cavity can be partly narrowed, which can result in short molding and/or products with defects due to residual gas in the cavity.
- the cavity is formed by a sand mold, and the sand mold is supported by metal molds. Then molten metal is cast in the cavity and is held under a pressure.
- the structure of the casting mold comprises a sand mold forming a cavity, metal molds supporting the sand mold, and a gas discharge passage which communicates with the sand mold through the metal molds and discharges gas in the cavity.
- the cast product remains on the lower mold held in the sand mold after the casting mold is opened with the upper mold moved upward and the slide molds moved away from each other.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a method of and an apparatus for low-pressure casting which is suitable for automation of the casting step, can greatly shorten the casting cycle time and can improve the quality of the cast molds.
- a low-pressure casting apparatus in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention is provided with a casting mold which can be opened and closed and is closed to form therein a cavity which is filled with molten metal to form a cast product and characterized in that said casting mold comprises an upper mold of metal, a lower mold of metal and a sand mold which is disposed between the upper and lower molds and forms a part of the cavity.
- a top wall of the cavity is formed by a lower surface of the upper mold, at least a part of a side wall of the cavity is formed by the sand mold, and the upper mold contacts with the molten metal filled in the cavity in a larger area than the lower mold.
- the upper mold is provided with a holding means for holding the cast product on the lower surface of the upper mold when the casting mold is opened in order to more surely lift the cast product and the sand mold together.
- the holding means may be a projecting member which projects into the cavity from the lower surface of the upper mold. This is advantageous in that the upper mold need not be additionally provided with such a means.
- a bulge portion may be formed on the upper surface of the lower mold and a gate may be formed between a side wall of the bulge portion and a side wall of the sand mold. This makes the molten metal in the gates to be solidified at a lower rate than that forming the product and can result in a higher quality of the cast product.
- a coolant passage can be formed in the metal member so that the molten metal in the cavity can be quickly cooled.
- a limiting member for limiting the space between the upper and lower molds is formed integrally with the upper mold. With this arrangement, the distance between the lower and upper molds can be held proper without slide mold. More preferably the limiting member is formed so as to surround the sand mold. This arrangement eliminates possibility of molten metal leaking out the casting mold 1 even if the side walls of the cavities are formed by the sand mold.
- the sand mold comprises a base frame, a core member disposed on the base frame, and an outer frame which is disposed on the base frame to support the core member together with the base frame and forms four side walls of the cavity. This arrangement permits the sand mold to be set to the lower mold by an automated system.
- the casting mold may be provided with a pair of sand molds so that a pair of cast products can be cast by one casting operation.
- a low-pressure casting method in accordance with a second aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of preparing a casting mold comprising an upper metal mold, a lower metal mold and a sand mold which is disposed between the upper and lower metal molds, forming a part of a cavity by the metal molds and the other part of the cavity by the sand mold, filling the cavity with molten metal, and opening the casting mold after the molten metal is solidified.
- a top wall of the cavity is formed by the upper metal mold, the other part of the wall of the cavity is formed by the lower metal mold, the casting mold is opened with the cast product and the sand mold held on the upper mold and then the cast product and the sand mold are removed from the upper mold.
- the sand mold is in the form of a core assembly having an opening on an upper side thereof prepared by positioning a core member on a base frame and positioning an outer frame on the core member, and the core assembly is placed on the lower mold, and the upper mold is placed on the core assembly to close the opening of the core assembly.
- This method permits the sand mold to be set to the lower mold by an automated system, which permits the casting step to be automated and shortens the casting cycle time.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views showing a casting mold, with the upper and lower molds apart from each other, which is mounted on a casting machine of the low-pressure casting apparatus.

- Coolant passages 8 and 9 are provided in the telescopic members 5 and the core pins 6 ( Figure 2).
- Reference numeral 10 denotes a spacer which limits the distance between the lower and upper molds 2 and 3 when the casting mold 1 is closed.
- the spacer 10 is formed integrally with the upper mold 3 along the periphery of the lower surface of the upper mold so as to surround the core assemblies 4 when the casting mold 1 is closed.
- each core assembly 4 comprises a base frame 11 (shown in Figure 5 in plan), four outer frames 12 to 15 of sand which are mounted on the base frame 11 and form four side walls of the cavity, a sand core 16 ( Figures 6A to 6D) which is incorporated between the outer frame 14 and the base frame 11 and form exhaust ports, sand cores 17 which are formed integrally with the outer frame 15 and form intake ports, a sand core 18 ( Figures 7A to 7D) which is provided with end portions 18a and 18b supported between the base frame 11 and the outer frame 12 and between the base frame 11 and the outer frame 13 and forms a water jacket, and a sand core 19 for forming an oil jacket.
- the core assembly 4 has an opening in the upper surface thereof.
- the top wall of the cavity 7 is formed by a metal mold, i.e., the lower surface 3a of the upper mold 3 and the side walls and the bottom wall of the cavity are all formed by sand molds except a part of the bottom wall. Accordingly, the area in which the upper mold 3 is brought into contact with the molten metal is larger than that of the lower mold 2.
- a vent passage 18c is formed through the end portion 18b of the sand core 18 for forming the water jacket and gas generated from the core during casting can be drawn out by connecting a suction nozzle 20 to the vent passage 18C.
- the pair of core assemblies 4 in the assembled state are placed in a predetermined position on the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 is positioned on the core assemblies 4 so that the upper mold 3 closes the openings in the core assemblies 4, whereby the cavities 7 are formed.
- the lower mold 2 is provided with three gates 21 one at the center and the others in the left and right edge portions thereof.
- the gate 21 in the right edge portion of the lower mold 2 communicates with the cavity 7 in the right side core assembly 4 through a gate 22 formed in the base frame 11 (which forms the bottom wall and the lower portion of the side wall of the cavity 7) and the gate 21 in the left edge portion of the lower mold 2 communicates with the cavity 7 in the left side core assembly 4 through another gate 22 formed in the base frame 11.
- the central gate 21 communicates with both the cavities 7 through still another gate 22 and the molten metal fed through the central gate 21 is distributed to both the cavities 7.
- the gates 22 are formed between the side walls of the bulge portions 2a of the lower mold 2 and the side walls of the base frames 11 which are of sand.
- the lower mold 2 is mounted on a molten metal distributor 24 provided with a molten metal supply passage 23. Molten metal stored in a tightly closed furnace is injected into the distributor 24 through a stalk and and then into the cavities 7 through the gates 21 and 22 when the surface of the molten metal in the furnace is pressed by air under a low pressure.
- the core pins 6 are used as a means for holding the cast products together with the core assemblies 4, the upper mold 3 need not be additionally provided with such a means.
- the telescopic members 5 of metal are fit in the bulge portions 2a formed on the upper surface of the lower mold 2, and the gates 22 are formed by the side walls of the bulge portions 2a and the side walls of the sand mold, the molten metal in the gates 22 is solidified at a lower rate than that forming the product, which can result in a higher quality of the cast product.

- the elevators R1 and R2 are returning elevators for transferring the vacant pallets from the ends of the upper conveyors to the beginnings of the lower conveyors.
- the return elevators R1 and R2 are of the substantially the same heights as the elevators H1 and H2.
- the upper ends of the elevators R1 and R2 are respectively connected with the upper ends of the elevators H1 and H2 by the upper conveyors and the lower ends of the elevators R1 and R2 are respectively connected with the lower ends of the elevators H1 and H2 by the lower conveyors.
- the vacant pallets conveyed above the surface MB of the upper floor by the elevator H1 and H2 are conveyed respectively to the upper ends of the elevator R1 and R2 by the upper conveyors of the conveyor lines P1 and P2, and then transferred respectively to the lower conveyors of the conveyor lines P1 and P2 by the elevators R1 and R2.
- the core assemblies 4 assembled by the core assembly line G1 and G2 are placed on the pallets, and conveyed leftward by the lower conveyors, and then stocked in a core stocker 40 together with data thereon.
- the core assemblies 4 Upon receipt of a delivery requirement signal from the casting apparatuses Q1 to Q14, the core assemblies 4 are delivered from the stocker 40 and bonded by bonding machines 41, and then conveyed to the elevators H1 and H2. Thereafter the core assemblies 4 are transferred to the lower floor by the elevators H1 and H2 and placed on the lower conveyors of the conveyor lines K1 and K2.
- the core assemblies 4 are conveyed to the elevator E5 by the lower conveyor K1a and then transferred to the upper floor by the elevator E5. Then the core assemblies 4 are set to the casting mold 1 on the casting machine 30 by the core setter 31 of the casting apparatus Q5 and casting is carried out in the manner described above.
- the pallets from which the core assemblies 4 are removed is transferred to the lower floor and is conveyed to the elevator H1 by the upper conveyor K1b. Then the vacant pallet is lifted above the surface MB of the upper floor and conveyed to the upper end of the elevator R1 by the upper conveyor of the conveyor line P1. Then the vacant pallet is transferred downward by the elevator R1 on to the lower conveyor of the conveyor line P1 and returned to the core assembly line G1.
- the cast products W cast by the casting machine 30 of the casting apparatus Q5 are taken out from-the casting mold 1 by the extractor 32 and transferred to the lower floor by the elevator F3. Then the cast products W are conveyed rightward to the after-treatment line J1 and are subjected to after-treatments such as removal of core assemblies 4 from the cast products W, cutting the gates and the like.
- the casting plant of this example has a two-floor structure wherein the casting apparatuses Q1 to Q14 are disposed on the upper floor and the conveyor lines K1 and K2 for conveying the core assemblies 4 and the cast products W are disposed on the lower floor. Accordingly, in this plant, the space factor is excellent, and many casting apparatuses can be installed in a limited space, and the structure about the casting machines can be simplified, whereby maintenance is facilitated.
- each of the conveyor line K1 and K2 comprises a core assembly carrying-in line (the lower conveyor) and a cast product carrying-out line (the upper conveyor), carrying the core assemblies 4 in the casting apparatuses Q1 to Q14 and carrying the cast products W out therefrom can be effected with a very high efficiency.
- Figure 14 is a flow chart showing the core delivery routine for delivering the core assemblies 4 (non-bonded) from the core stocker 40 in the core assembly line G1.
- the centralized controller When receiving a work completion signal (to be described later) from the casting machine (step S1), the centralized controller reads out the kind of the core assemblies 4 to be delivered from the delivery requirement signal (step S2). Then the centralized controller causes the core assemblies 4 of the designated kind to be taken out from the core stocker 40 (step S3), and conveyed to the bonding machine 41 by the lower conveyor of the conveyor line P1 (step S4). The centralized controller causes the bonding machine 41 to inject adhesive into the core assemblies 4 to bond them. (step S5) The centralized controller causes the bonded core assemblies 4 to be transferred to the lower floor by the elevator H1 (step S6) Then the centralized controller detects the kind of the core assemblies 4 (step S7) and designates the destination (step S8). Thereafter the centralized controller causes the core assemblies 4 to be placed on the lower conveyor K1a of the conveyor line K1 (step S9) and generates a work completion signal a (step S10). Thus one cycle of the core delivery routine is ended.
- Figure 15 is a flow chart showing the core carrying-in routine for carrying the core assemblies 4 in the casting apparatus Q5.
- the centralized controller When receiving the work completion signal a (step S11), the centralized controller stores in a memory the order of the core assemblies 4 to be conveyed by the lower conveyor K1a of the conveyor line K1 (step S12). Then the centralized controller determines whether desired core assemblies 4 reach the elevator E5 for the casting apparatus Q5 (which output the delivery requirement signal) by a limit switch provided on the lower conveyor K1a). (step S13) When it is determined that the desired core assemblies 4 reach the elevator E5, the centralized controller causes a knock pin (not shown) to stop the core assemblies 4 at the elevator E5 (step S14), and causes the core assemblies 4 to be transferred to the upper floor by the elevator E5 (step S15). Thus one cycle of the core carrying-in routine is ended.
- Figure 16 is a flow chart showing the core setting routine for setting the core assemblies 4 to the casting casting machine 30 of the casting apparatus Q5.
- the centralized controller checks the kind of the core assemblies 4 delivered, (step S21) When the core assemblies 4 delivered do not conform to the requirement, the centralized controller returns the core assemblies 4 by the elevator E5, and generates a work completion signal. (steps S22, S31 and S32) When the core assemblies 4 delivered conform to the requirement, the centralized controller causes the core setter 31 to hold the core assemblies 4. When the core setter complete holding the core assemblies 4, the centralized controller detects the temperature T A of the casting mold 1 and the temperature T B of the molten metal. (steps S24 and S25) Then the centralized controller determines whether the temperatures T A and T B are in the ranges of 320°C to 460°C and 690°C to 715°C, respectively. (step S26)
- the centralized controller When it is determined that the temperatures T A and T B are in the ranges, the centralized controller causes the core setter 31 to place the core assemblies 4 on the casting mold 1. (step S26) Then the centralized controller detects whether the core assemblies 4 are positioned in place by use of photoelectric tubes. When it is determined that the core assemblies 4 do not block light, the centralized controller generates a core setting completion signal, and otherwise alarms and interrupts the operation. (steps S28 to S30 and S34 and S35)
- Figure 17 is a flow chart showing a mold closing routine.
- the centralized controller first determines whether casting is to be initiated. (step S81) When it is determined that casting is to be initiated, the centralized controller begins to close the casting mold 1. (step S82) Then the centralized controller determines whether the casting mold 1 has been completely closed. (step S83) When it is determined that the casting mold 1 has been completely closed, the centralized controller sets a mold closure completion flag. (step S84) Otherwise, the centralized controller sets a timer, and when the casting mold 1 is not completely closed before lapse of the time set to the timer, the centralized controller alarms and interrupts the operation. (steps S85 to S88)
