Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren für die Herstellung und das Abgießen sowie Ausformen der Gießformen sowie eine Gießanlage für die Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for the production and pouring and molding the molds as well as a casting plant for carrying out the process.
Die mit einem Formkasten versehenen Gießformen werden in bekannter Art und Weise in einer Formmaschine geformt, wobei diese Formmaschine vorteilhaft einen Drehtisch aufweist, der eine Modellplatte für sowohl die eine als auch die andere Formkastenhälfte besitzt. Der Rahmen wird auf die Modellplatte abgesetzt und mittels Sand gefüllt, wobei es sich hier in der Regel um einen tongebundenen Sand handelt. Nach dem entsprechenden Verdichten des Formsandes wird die Formkastenhälfte von der Modellplatte abgehoben und auf eine Transportbahn aufgesetzt. In diese Transportbahn ist eine Wendeeinrichtung eingebaut, die die Formkastenhälften derart wendet, daß die Formteilebene nach oben zeigt. Hierdurch ist zum einen die Kerneinlegung wesentlich erleichtert und zum anderen kann bei den herkömmlich ausgebildeten Gießformen der Eingießtrichter sowie der Speiser nachgearbeitet werden. Nachdem die Kerne eingelegt sind, wird die eine Formkastenhälfte in einem Wender gewendet und die Formkastenhälften werden dann in einer Einrichtung zum Zusammensetzen der beiden Formkastenhälften zusammengefügt. Im Anschluß hieran erfolgt der Abguß der Gießform in liegender Stellung. Nach dem Erstarren des Gußstückes wird dieses ausgeformt. Die Formkastenhälften werden dann wieder getrennt und erneut der Formmaschine zugeführt.The molds provided with a molding box are molded in a known manner in a molding machine, this molding machine advantageously having a turntable has a model plate for both the has one as well as the other half of the molding box. The Frame is placed on the model plate and by means of Filled with sand, which is usually one clay-bound sand. After the corresponding one The molding box half of lifted off the model plate and onto a transport track put on. In this transport track is a turning device built in, which the mold box halves like turns that the molding plane faces upwards. Hereby on the one hand, the core insertion is much easier and on the other hand, the conventionally trained Casting molds for the pouring funnel and the Feeders to be reworked. After the seeds are inserted are the one mold box half in a turner then turned and the mold box halves are in a facility for putting the two together Molded box halves joined together. Following this the casting mold is cast in a lying position. After the casting has solidified, it is shaped. The mold box halves are then separated again and fed again to the molding machine.
Das Abgießen der Formkästen in liegender Stellung bereitet insofern bei komplizierteren Gußstücken und vor allem wenn Gußstücke mit Aluminium hergestellt werden sollen, größere Probleme, da es nicht immer möglich ist, ein optimales Speiservolumen mit einem ausreichenden hydrostatischen Druck in der Gießform auszubilden. Man ist hier gezwungen, zusätzlich noch Speiser auf der Gießform aufzusetzen, was nicht unproblematisch ist und zudem einen zusätzlichen Arbeitsaufwand bedeutet.The casting of the mold boxes in a lying position prepares to that extent with more complicated castings and before especially if castings are made with aluminum are supposed to have bigger problems since it's not always possible is an optimal feeder volume with a sufficient to develop hydrostatic pressure in the mold. One is forced here, in addition, even feeders on the Put on the mold, which is not without problems and also means additional work.
Bekannt ist es ferner aus der WO 91/12104, die Gießform um 180 Grad zu drehen, so daß die Formteilungsebene lotrecht steht. Der Eingießtrichter liegt in der Teilungsebene, so daß auch der Abguß in dieser Lage erfolgen kann. Nach dem Erstarren der Gießform wird die Gießform wieder zurückgedreht und das Gußstück nach unten ausgeformt.It is also known from WO 91/12104, the casting mold to rotate 180 degrees so that the mold parting plane stands vertically. The pouring funnel is on the division level, so that the casting can take place in this position can. After the mold has solidified, the Mold turned back and the casting down molded.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren sowie eine Gießanlage für die Durchführung des Verfahrens der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, welches nicht nur ermöglicht, Gußstücke auch aus Aluminium herzustellen, die in der Gußqualität wesentlich verbessert sind und bei denen es auch bei komplizierten Gußstücken nicht erforderlich ist, zusätzliche Speiser vorzusehen.The invention has for its object a method as well as a casting plant for carrying out the process of the type mentioned at the outset to propose which not only enables castings to be made from aluminum, which significantly improved in casting quality are and where it is even with complicated castings it is not necessary to provide additional feeders.
Die Gießanlage ist so augestaltet, daß diese kostengünstig und automatisch arbeiten kann. The casting plant is designed so that it is inexpensive and can work automatically.
Diese Aufgabe wird für das Verfahren mit den Merkmalen
des Anspruches 1 und für die Gießanlage mit den Merkmalen
des Anspruches 2 gelöst.This task is for the method with the characteristics
of claim 1 and for the casting machine with the features
of
Die grundlegende Idee des erfindungsgemäßen Gießverfahrens wie auch der Gießanlage bestehen zum Einen darin, daß mit Formkästen versehene Gießformen verwendet werden, die in herkömmlicher Art und Weise liegend geformt und mit Kernen versehen, die jedoch so ausgebildet sind, daß der Eingießtrichter wie auch der Speiser in der Formteilebene der Gießform angeordnet ist. Hierdurch bedingt wird zwar die Formung der Gießform in liegender Weise durchgeführt, jedoch der Abguß in stehender Weise, wobei bei derartigen Anordnungen nicht nur ein ausreichendes Speiservolumen zu schaffen ist, sondern darüber hinaus auch ein ausreichender hydrostatischer Druck für das nachzuspeisende Metall erhalten wird. Hierdurch ist es möglich, auch komplizierte Aluminiumgußstücke, beispielsweise Motorblöcke oder Zylinderköpfe, kostengünstig herzustellen. Derartige Gußstücke werden bisher in chemisch gebundenen kastenlosen Gießformen hergestellt, welche nicht nur eine teure Sandaufarbeitung bedingen, sondern darüber hinaus auch teure und komplizierte Anlagen für die Herstellung der vielen Formteile für die kastenlose Gießform, die zudem noch teils mit Automaten und teils von Hand, zusammengesetzt werden müssen und zum Anderen darin, daß auch das Ausformen des Gußstückes bei stehender Gießform erfolgt.The basic idea of the casting process according to the invention as well as the casting plant consist on the one hand that molds provided with mold boxes are used, which are shaped in a conventional manner and provided with cores, which however are so designed are that the pouring funnel as well as the feeder in the molding plane of the mold is arranged. Hereby the shape of the casting mold is in carried out lying, but the cast in a standing Way, with such arrangements not only a sufficient volume of feeder can be created, but also a sufficient hydrostatic Receive pressure for the metal to be replenished becomes. This enables even complex aluminum castings, for example engine blocks or cylinder heads, inexpensive to manufacture. Such castings are currently in chemically bound boxless Casting molds made, which are not just an expensive one Condition sand, but also beyond expensive and complicated equipment for the production of many molded parts for the castless mold, which also partly assembled with machines and partly by hand on the other hand in that also the casting is formed with the mold upright.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Gießanlage ist mit herkömmlichen Anlageeinheiten bis zum Zusammenfügen der beiden Gießformhälften aufgebaut, so daß hier auf bewährte und kostengünstige Anlagenkomponenten zurückgegriffen werden kann. Im Anschluß an das Zusammenfügen der beiden Formkästen ist in die Gießformanlage eine Wendeeinrichtung eingebaut die es gestattet, den Formkasten um seine Längsachse um 90 Grad zu wenden, so daß dieser nunmehr hochkant auf einer weiteren, in der Regel etwas schmäleren, Transportbahn weitergeführt wird. In dieser stehenden Stellung der Gießformen erfolgt der Abguß und auch das Auspacken der Gießformen. Hierzu kann die Gießform auf der Transportbahn verbleiben. Sie muß lediglich senkrecht zur Gießform gesichert werden, so daß dann anschließend das Gußstück mittels einer Pressplatte aus dem Gießformrahmen zusammen mit dem gebundenen Formsand ausgedrückt werden kann. Die Formkästen werden kann um 90 Grad gedreht und in liegender Stellung getrennt und in bekannter Art und Weise wieder so vorbereitet, daß sie erneut der Formanlage zugeführt werden können.A casting plant according to the invention is conventional System units until the two mold halves are joined built so that here on proven and inexpensive Plant components can be used can. Following the joining of the two molded boxes is a turning device in the casting mold system built-in which allows the molding box to fit around its Longitudinal axis to turn 90 degrees, so that it is now upright on another, usually a little narrower, Transport track is continued. In this standing The casting molds are cast and also unpacking the molds. For this, the The mold remains on the conveyor. You just have to be secured perpendicular to the mold so that then the casting by means of a press plate from the mold frame together with the bound Molding sand can be expressed. The molded boxes can be turned 90 degrees and in a lying position separately and in a known way again prepared that they are fed to the molding machine again can be.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben, die eine erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete automatische Formanlage in perspektivischer Ansicht zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is as follows described in more detail with reference to the drawing, the one according to the invention trained automatic molding machine in perspective View shows.

die angelieferten Formkästen einer Trenneinrichtung 3
zugeführt werden, in der die Formkästen in je zwei einzelne
Formkastenhälften 4,5 vereinzelt werden. In einer
in eine zweite Transportbahn 6 eingeschaltete erste
Wendeeinrichtung 7 werden die Formkastenhälften so gewendet,
daß ihre Formteilungsebene nach unten
zeigt. Die Formkastenhälften (4,5) werden dann einer
Formanlage (8) zugeführt, die einen Drehtisch (9) aufweist,
der Modellplatten (10,11) für die beiden Gießformhälften
trägt. Die Formkastenhälften (4,5) werden
über je eine der Modellplatten (10,11) abgesetzt, mit
Sand verfüllt, verfestigt, um dann auf einer dritten
Transportbahn (12) abgesetzt zu werden. In dieser
Transportbahn ist eine zweite Wendeeinrichtung (13)
eingeschaltet, die die Formkastenhälften (4,5) um 180
Grad wendet, so daß die Formteilebene und damit der
Formhohlraum (14) der Formkästen (4,5) nach oben zeigt.
Die dritte Transportbahn (12) weist dann eine Kerneinlegestrecke
(15) auf, in der die Kerne in die nach oben
zeigenden Formhohlräume in einfacher Art und Weise einlegbar
sind. In einer dritten Wendeeinrichtung (16)
wird dann eine Formkastenhälfte um 180 Grad gewendet,
wobei dann die Formkastenhälften (4,5) einer Zusammensetzstation
(17) zugeführt werden, in der eine Formkastenhälfte
auf die zugehörige andere Formkastenhälfte
aufgesetzt und zu einer Gießform zusammengefügt wird.The automatic casting machine shown in the drawing
1 has a
Im Anschluß hieran werden die fertigen Gießformen (18) über ein viertes Transportband (19) einer vierten Wendeeinrichtung (20) zugeführt, die die Formkästen um ihre Längsachse um 90 Grad wendet und auf einer fünften Transportbahn (21) absetzt, welche die nunmehr hochkant stehenden Gießformen (18) aufnimmt.Following this, the finished molds (18) via a fourth conveyor belt (19) of a fourth turning device (20) fed around the mold boxes their longitudinal axis turns 90 degrees and on a fifth Transport track (21) settles, which is now upright standing molds (18).
Die Gießformen sind so hergestellt, daß der Eingießtrichter (22) und der Speiser (23) in der Teilungsebene (24) der Gießform (18) liegen. Der Abguß der Gießformen (18) erfolgt in einer Gießstation (30) auf einer fünften Transportbahn (21), wobei diese auch gleichzeitig die Abkühlstrecke bildet. Nach dem Erstarren des Gußstückes gelangt die Gießform (18) in eine Ausformstation (25), welche eine von einem Hubzylinder (27) angetriebene Pressplatte (26) aufweist. Des weiteren fixiert die Ausformstation (25) die Gießform (18) senkrecht zu ihrer Transportrichtung, so daß die Entformung ohne Abnahme der Gießform von der fünften Transportbahn (21) durchgeführt werden kann. Auf der der Pressplatte (26) gegenüberliegenden Seite der Gießform ist ein Aufnahmetisch (28) vorgesehen, auf den das Gußstück aufgeschoben wird. Der Ausformstation (25) ist eine fünfte Wendeeinrichtung (29) nachgeschaltet, die den Formkasten wiederum um 90 Grad um seine Längsachse dreht, so daß nunmehr der Weitertransport und die Trennung der beiden Formkastenhälften (4,5) in der Trennstation in üblicher Art und Weise erfolgen kann. Der Vorgang wiederholt sich dann wie zuvor beschrieben.The molds are made so that the pouring funnel (22) and the feeder (23) in the division level (24) of the mold (18). The casting of the molds (18) takes place in a casting station (30) on a fifth Transport track (21), this also at the same time forms the cooling section. After the casting has solidified the mold (18) arrives in a molding station (25), which is driven by a lifting cylinder (27) Press plate (26). Furthermore fixed the molding station (25) the casting mold (18) vertically to their direction of transport, so that the demolding without removing the mold from the fifth conveyor track (21) can be carried out. On the press plate (26) opposite side of the mold is a shooting table (28) provided on which the casting is pushed becomes. The shaping station (25) is a fifth Turning device (29) connected downstream of the molding box again rotates 90 degrees around its longitudinal axis, so that now the further transport and the separation of the two mold box halves (4,5) in the separation station in usual way can be done. The process repeats then as described previously.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Formanlage besteht darin, daß durch die stehende Anordnung der Gießformen beim Abguß ein ausreichendes Speiservolumen mit einem ausreichenden hydrostatischen Druck auch für schwer vergießbare Metalle, beispielsweise Aluminium, erhalten werden kann, so daß es nunmehr möglich ist, auch komplizierte Gußstücke wie Motorblöcke oder Zylinderköpfe aus Aluminium mit kastengebundenen Gießformen herzustellen. Durch diesen Abguß mit stehenden Gießformen ist gleichfalls der Ausformgang wesentlich vereinfacht, da nunmehr die Gießform nicht mehr von den Transportband abgenommen zu werden braucht, sondern lediglich das Gußstück seitlich ausgeschoben wird, wobei dieses dann frei handhabbar ist. The main advantage of the molding system according to the invention is that by the standing arrangement the casting molds have a sufficient feed volume during casting with sufficient hydrostatic pressure also for difficult to cast metals, for example Aluminum, can be obtained so that it is now possible is complex castings such as engine blocks or cylinder heads made of aluminum with box-bound To produce casting molds. Through this cast with standing The molding process is also essential for casting molds simplified since the mold is no longer needs to be removed from the conveyor belt but only pushed out the casting laterally is, which is then freely manageable.
