Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for filling a casting tool with a molten metal according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 2, respectively.
- a central gate is used in most cases, in which the metal melt is fed centrally to the mold cavity of the casting tool.
- side gates and multiple gates are also used. All of these processes have in common that the molten metal is supplied via a feed channel with a relatively small diameter of approximately 30 mm to 50 mm.
- a high temperature of the molten metal is necessary so that the molten metal can flow reliably from this sprue to all points in the mold cavity of the casting tool before it solidifies. This means a high heat input in the area of the feed and thus a partial overheating of the casting tool in the pouring area. This overheating results in severe wear of the tool or the sprue bushings, which reduces the service life of the casting tools become.
- the high temperature of the molten metal also extends the cooling cycle, so that complex additional cooling measures generally have to be used.
- the object of the invention is to improve the filling of the casting tool with a molten metal in such a way that shorter cycle times can be combined with an improved quality of the casting.
- the basic idea of the invention is to move away from the sprue over a small circular cross-section of small diameter and to feed the molten metal decentrally over the circumference of an annular chamber to the mold cavity.
- the inflow of the molten metal from the annular chamber into the mold cavity over the entire circumference of the annular chamber considerably increases the inflow cross section, e.g. B. in a vehicle wheel by about the factor 10. Because of this enlarged inflow cross section, the filling time can be shortened considerably. The enlargement of the inflow cross-section even makes it possible to reduce the inflow rate of the molten metal despite the shortening of the filling time.
- the molten metal can therefore be supplied without turbulence, as a result of which the formation of voids is reduced and the quality of the casting is increased. Furthermore, with the annular, decentralized supply of the molten metal, the heat input through the molten metal is distributed over the entire circumference of the annular chamber. The more uniform distribution of the heat input avoids local overheating, which leads to particularly heavy wear on the casting tool. In addition, the faster supply of the molten metal and the shorter flow distances of the molten metal in the mold cavity enable tion of the temperature of the molten metal supplied. This means a further reduction in wear and energy savings. Finally, the molten metal can solidify more quickly, which on the one hand means an additional shortening of the total cycle time and also reduces the dendrite growth, so that the casting has better mechanical characteristics as a result of smaller dendrite arm spacings.
- the annular chamber is expediently provided with at least one piston which can be pressed into the volume of the annular chamber. This piston closes the feed channel of the molten metal and presses the molten metal remaining in the annular chamber into the mold cavity.
- the method and the device can preferably be used for rotationally symmetrical cast parts, for example for the production of light metal wheels for vehicles.
- the method and the device can be used in all known die casting processes, in particular in low pressure casting machines, in counter pressure casting machines, in press casting machines with a "squeeze” effect and in vacuum casting machines.
- the drawing shows the production of a light alloy wheel for a motor vehicle.
- the casting tool consists of a steel mold which is composed of a lower tool part 10, an upper tool part 12 with a central insert 14 and slides 16.
- the lower tool part 10 is fixedly mounted on a base plate 18.
- the upper tool part 12 and its central insert 14 can be moved vertically. If necessary, the upper tool part 12 can also be formed in one piece with the central insert 14.
- a lifting ram 20 is guided centrally through the base plate 18 and the lower tool part 10.
- a retaining ring 22 is mounted on the base plate 18 and coaxially surrounds the lower tool part 10.
- the retaining ring 22 is radially spaced from the outer circumference of the lower tool part 10, so that a cylindrical annular chamber 24 is formed between the outer circumference of the lower tool part 10 and an axially adjoining shoulder of the base plate 18 on the one hand and the inner circumference of the holding ring 22 on the other hand becomes.
- the annular chamber 24 is closed off by the base plate 18, a fluid pressure channel 26 leading through the base plate 18 from below into the annular chamber 24.
- an annular piston 28 which fills the entire horizontal cross section of the annular chamber 24 and has half the axial height of the annular chamber 24.
- the piston 28 is guided in the annular chamber 24 in a tightly sliding manner on its outer circumference and on its inner circumference.
- the piston 28 can be pressed upwards by pressurizing the fluid pressure channel 26 in the ring chamber 24.
- the piston 28 can be pushed upward by a plurality of hydraulically operated lifting rams.
- a feed channel 30 leads through the retaining ring 22 above the piston 28 into the annular chamber 24.
- the feed channel 30 runs radially through the retaining ring 22 and rises axially from the outside inwards.
- An inflow tube 32 which is acted upon by a pressure piston, is non-positively and tightly inserted into the retaining ring with a dome-shaped mouthpiece at the radially outer end of the feed channel 30.
- the annular chamber 24 opens out at its upper end over its entire circumference and over its entire radial width into the cavity of the mold on its outer circumference.
- the annular chamber 24 opens into the region of the mold cavity formed by the lower tool part 10 and the sliders 16, which forms the outer rim flange of the wheel.
- the casting process is as follows:
- the upper tool part 12 with the central insert 14 is in the raised upper position and the piston 28 lies at the bottom in the annular chamber 24, as is shown in the right half of the drawing.
- the molten metal is fed radially from the outside into the annular chamber 24 above the piston 28 via the inflow pipe 32 and the feed channel 30.
- the metal melt fills the annular chamber 24 and the mold cavity of the lower tool part 10, so that a characteristic bottom depth of the metal melt is established in the lower tool part 10.
- the amount of molten metal fed in this way is metered in accordance with the shape and weight of the cast body.
- the piston 28 is then pushed upwards until it closes the inlet cross section of the feed channel 30 into the annular chamber 24 and interrupts the metal feed to the annular chamber 24.
- the piston 28 displaces the volume of the molten metal located in the ring chamber 24 upwards into the mold cavity of the lower tool part 10.
- the piston 28 is now in the position shown in the left half of the drawing.
- the upper tool part 12 and the central insert 14 are moved down into the position shown in the left half of the drawing.
- the doughy metal melt is compressed and displaced into the free tool cavities, especially into the cavities that form the rim well and the inner rim flange.
- the central insert 14 can also be moved down first, so that the tool is closed in the hub area. Then the upper tool part 12 is moved down and displaced and I compresses the molten metal in the area of the spokes.
- the compression in the hub area takes place by lifting the lifting plunger 20 from below into the central hub area, in which the hub bore is later made.
- the feed channel 30 does not open into the annular chamber 24 with a circular cross section, but widens delta-shaped in the circumferential direction of the annular chamber 24 when it opens into the annular chamber 24.
- the molten metal flowing into the annular chamber 24 through the feed channel 30 is distributed more evenly on both sides in the circumferential direction and a laminar flow of the molten metal as it flows into the annular chamber 24 is favored.
- a plurality of feed channels can also be arranged distributed over the circumference of the annular chamber 24.
- the piston 28 can be designed as a one-piece closed ring body. It is also possible to subdivide the piston 28 by one or more radial parting lines which absorb thermal expansions of the piston 28 in the circumferential direction.
- the piston 28 can also be subdivided into a plurality (preferably 2) of coaxially supported and axially displaceable ring bodies which can be pressurized and moved separately from one another.
- the outer ring body is acted upon first in order to close the feed channel 30 4 and to interrupt the metal feed.
- the inner ring body serves to displace the molten metal from the ring chamber 24 into the mold cavity and in particular in the pouring area condense.
- annular chamber 24 does not have to open freely into the mold cavity over its entire circumference. It is essential, however, that the largest possible inflow cross section exists between the annular chamber 24 and the mold cavity.
- annular chamber 24 does not necessarily have to open on the outer circumference of the mold cavity, but can also open in a radially central region. Where the annular chamber 24 opens into the mold cavity is expediently determined according to the shape of the cast body. The further radially outside the annular chamber 24 is arranged, the larger the inflow cross section and the more effectively the advantages according to the invention are used.
- the annular chamber 24 does not have to have a rotationally symmetrical shape, but can also have the shape of a polygon, for example.
- the piston is optionally subdivided into individual piston bodies which correspond to the individual polygon sides.
- the method according to the invention can also be used for castings that are not rotationally symmetrical.
