Definitions

  • the invention relates to a casting system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such casting systems are primarily provided for casting sanitary ceramic castings such as wash basins, toilet bowls or the like using plastic molds.
  • each pair of associated molded part holders is arranged in a frame which has a rocker pivotally mounted on the turntable by means of two pivot pins as the lower frame part, two of which are parallel to each other
  • the pivot pins are each mounted on an arm projecting radially from the turntable, and the yoke is attached to the upper end of a stand which is attached to the edge of the turntable and projects vertically upwards in such a way that the guide rods lie in a plane inclined upwards.
  • a plurality of frames are attached to the turntable at uniform circumferential intervals, each enclosing a pair of mold holders together with the mold parts held by them.
  • On the guide rods of each frame there is a crossbeam to clamp and pull apart the molded part holders enclosed by the frame attached to the associated yoke hydraulic cylinder displaceable.
  • Cast mold parts belonging together lie in a mold parting plane normal to the associated tie rods, which plane is inclined slightly radially inwards against the rotary table.
  • the lifting table together with the carriage and the casting lying thereon is then lowered, and then the lower molded part holder together with the lower molded part fastened thereon is pivoted up again by means of the pivoting device, and finally the cross member is velvety by means of the hydraulic cylinder attached to the yoke of the frame the upper mold part holder and the upper mold part attached to it are lowered again along the guide rods so that the mold is closed again and ready for refilling with casting slip.
  • This known casting installation with its number of frames, traverses and associated hydraulic cylinders corresponding to the number of casting molds, requires a considerable amount of space and has a large inert mass which must be accelerated and stopped again with each of the rotary movements of the rotary table taking place gradually.
  • the pressure medium supply to the numerous hydraulic cylinders attached to the rotary table also requires considerable effort.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a casting installation which is particularly suitable for die casting sanitary ceramic castings and which is at least as powerful in comparison with the known casting installation described above, but requires less production effort and takes up less space.
  • the rotary table only has to transport the molded part holders, casting mold parts and associated clamping bodies. All drives for unlocking and locking the clamping bodies and for moving the mold parts apart and together are arranged, like the swivel drive, in the demolding station and are available there for all molded part holders and associated molds rotating with the rotary table, regardless of their number.
  • the invention further relates to a method for casting ceramic castings according to claim 10.
  • the elastic deformation of the mold parts according to the invention before the mold is opened has the effect that the cast part formed therein is compressed and consequently obtains a better surface quality and is more easily detached from the mold parts , if these are separated from each other immediately after their elastic deformation.
  • This method can in principle also be carried out on the known casting installation described at the outset, provided that the frame and associated hydraulic cylinders are dimensioned sufficiently strong to elastically deform the casting mold parts in the required manner. Such a dimensioning of the frame and hydraulic cylinder would increase the manufacturing costs and space requirements of the known casting installation even further.
  • the casting The system for carrying out the method according to claim 10 is particularly suitable because a single drive arranged in the demolding station, in particular the one that is already present for moving the molded part holders apart and together, is sufficient to deform the molded parts. Since this drive is arranged in a stationary manner and only needs to be present once, it can be dimensioned sufficiently strong without requiring any special effort.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of a casting machine according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the casting machine in the direction of
  • FIG. 3 shows an enlarged section from FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged section from FIG. 1
  • FIG. 5 shows an enlarged section from FIG. 4.
  • the casting installation shown has a turntable 10 which is mounted on a base frame 12 so as to be rotatable about a central vertical axis A.
  • a drive (not shown) of the type customary in rotary tables, with which the rotary table 10 can be rotated step by step by 45 °.
  • eight pivot bearings 14 are arranged at regular circumferential intervals, each defining a horizontal axis B which is tangential with respect to the turntable.
  • a first molded part holder 16 is mounted on each of the swivel bearings 14 in such a way that it can be swiveled outwards from a casting position in which it rests on the rotary table by at least 90 ° into a demolding position.
  • Each first molded part holder 16 is assigned a second molded part holder 18.
  • the molded part holders 16 and 18 are locked together in pairs, as shown in FIG. 1 for seven of a total of eight pairs of molded part holders 16, 18.
  • the eighth pair of molded part holders 16, 18 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the demolding position and in an exploded state.

  • casting cores can be arranged between associated casting mold parts.
  • the mold parts 22 and 24 are connected to the container 20 by a hose 26 and 28, respectively.

  • the first clamping body 42 can be moved against the resistance of the associated spring 54 in the direction of the associated second clamping body 44.
  • a drive 60 in the form of a pneumatic cylinder which acts with a piston rod 62 on the spring plate 56 of the associated first clamping body 42, is supported in the demolding station 30 on the first lateral stand 36 for each first clamping body 42.
  • Each of the second clamping bodies 44 is prestressed in the direction of the associated first clamping body 42.
  • each of the second clamping bodies 44 is assigned a spring 64, in the example shown again a helical compression spring, which is clamped between a support ring 66 fastened to the relevant second clamping body 44 and the associated second molded part holder 18.
