Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen axial verschiebbaren Kolben zum Einsatz in einem Giesszylinder einer Druckgiessmaschine mit einer Kolbennut zur Aufnahme des Ringsteges eines mit einem Schlitz versehenen Dichtungsringes, wobei der Schlitz als Stufenschlitz ausgebildet ist, dessen Schlitzflächen in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende und in Umfangsrichtung gegeneinander verschiebbare, dichtende Stufen-Übergangsflächen bilden.The present invention relates to an axially displaceable piston for use in a Casting cylinder of a die casting machine with a piston groove for receiving the ring land a sealing ring provided with a slot, the slot as a step slot is formed, the slot surfaces extending in the circumferential direction and in Sealing step transition surfaces which can be displaced relative to one another in the circumferential direction form.
Bei einer Warmkammer-Druckgiessmaschine ist es bekannt, in einem mit der zu vergiessenden Schmelze gefüllten Tiegel einen senkrecht stehenden Giesszylinder anzuordnen, in dem ein Kolben axial verschiebbar gelagert ist. In der obem Hälfte sind im Giesszylinder Einflussöffnungen für die Schmelze und unten ist eine Ausflussöffnung angebracht, die über ein Steigrohr mit der Giessform verbunden ist. Somit strömt bei jeder Aufwärtsbewegung des Kolbens eine bestimmte Menge Schmelze in den Giesszylinder, die bei der nachfolgenden Abwärtsbewegung in die Giessform gedrückt wird.In the case of a hot chamber die casting machine, it is known to coincide with the one to be cast To arrange the melt-filled crucible a vertical casting cylinder, in which a piston is axially slidably mounted. In the top half are in the casting cylinder Influence openings for the melt and at the bottom there is an outflow opening that is connected to the casting mold via a riser pipe. Thus flows with every upward movement of the piston a certain amount of melt in the casting cylinder, which in the subsequent Downward movement is pressed into the mold.
Das Problem bei einer Warmkammer-Druckgiessmaschine besteht nun darin, Aussendurchmesser des Kolbens und Innendurchmesser des Giesszylinders so aufeinander abzustimmen, dass die Axialbewegung des Kolbens optimal erfolgen kann. Bei zu grossem Kolbendurchmesser klemmt der Kolben, während bei zu kleinem Kolbendurchmesser Schmelze zwischen Kolben und Giesszylinder eindringt und sich verfestigen kann, was in beiden Fällen zur frühzeitigen Zerstörung des Kolbens oder zusätzlich auch des Giesszylinders führen kann. Um dies zu verhindern, ist in der US-PS 5 350 007 eine Warmkammer-Druckgiessmaschine offenbart, bei der die Kolbenoberfläche mindestens eine Ringnut aufweist, die über Radialkanäle mit einem zur Stirnseite des Kolbens führende Axialkanal verbunden ist. Dabei sind in der Ringnut mindestens zwei Ringsegmente lose angeordnet, die beim Arbeitshub des Kolbens durch das durch die Kanäle fliessende flüssige Metall an den Innenmantel des Giesszylinders angedrückt werden und somit als Dichtungsring wirken. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung besteht aber darin, dass flüssiges Metall auch zwischen Kolben und Giesszylinder in Richtung zur Kolbenstange hin eindringen und sich verfestigen kann mit der möglichen Zerstörung von Kolben und Giesszylinder; zusätzlich ist die Fertigung des Kolbens äusserst kompliziert und teuer. Weiter ist aus der EP-PS 0 423 413 ein Kolben für einen Giesszylinder einer Kaltkammer-Druckgiesspresse bekannt geworden, bei dem auf einem von einem Kühlmittel durchflossenen Trägerkörper eine Kappe mit einer Ringnut angeordnet ist. In die Ringnut greift ein mit einem Schlitz versehener Dichtungsring ein, wobei der Schlitz als Stufenschlitz ausgebildet ist, dessen Schlitzflächen in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende und in Umfangsrichtung verschiebbare, dichtende Stufen-Übergangsflächen bilden. Die Kappe endet in einem Ansatz, der nacheinander die Ringnut, einen Ringsteg und eine Begrenzungsfläche aufweist, wobei der Dichtungsring mit seinem Ringsteg und seiner Ringnut entsprechend in die Ringnut und in den Ringsteg des Ansatzes eingreift und mit seiner Begrenzungsfläche den Ringsteg des Ansatzes umfassend der Begrenzungsfläche des Ansatzes frontseitig radial gegenübersteht Versuche haben aber gezeigt, dass ein solcher Kolben für den Einsatz in einem Giesszylinder einer Warmkammer-Druckgiessmaschine ungeeignet ist.The problem with a hot chamber die casting machine is now outside diameter of the piston and inner diameter of the casting cylinder so that they match that the axial movement of the piston can take place optimally. If the piston diameter is too large the piston jams while the melt is too small penetrates between the piston and the casting cylinder and can solidify, which in both cases lead to the premature destruction of the piston or additionally of the casting cylinder can. To prevent this, there is a hot chamber die casting machine in US Pat. No. 5,350,007 discloses, in which the piston surface has at least one annular groove is connected via radial channels to an axial channel leading to the end face of the piston. At least two ring segments are loosely arranged in the ring groove, which are during the working stroke of the piston through the liquid metal flowing through the channels to the inner jacket of the casting cylinder are pressed and thus act as a sealing ring. The The disadvantage of this solution is that liquid metal is also between the piston and The casting cylinder can penetrate towards the piston rod and solidify with the possible destruction of pistons and casting cylinders; in addition, the manufacture of the Pistons extremely complicated and expensive. Furthermore, from EP-PS 0 423 413 a piston for a casting cylinder of a cold chamber die casting press is known, in which a cap with an annular groove through which a coolant flows is arranged. A slot-shaped sealing ring engages in the ring groove, wherein the slot is designed as a step slot, the slot surfaces in Sealing step transition surfaces running circumferentially and displaceable in the circumferential direction form. The cap ends in an approach that successively the annular groove, has an annular web and a boundary surface, the sealing ring with its Ring web and its ring groove accordingly in the ring groove and in the ring web of Approaches and with its boundary surface the ring web of the approach comprising radially opposite the boundary surface of the approach from the front However, tests have shown that such a piston can be used in one Casting cylinder of a hot chamber die casting machine is unsuitable.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Kolben zum Einsatz in einem Giesszylinder einer Warmkammer-Druckgiessmaschine zu schaffen, der bei einfacher und nicht teurer Konstruktion eine sichere Abdichtung gewährleistet. Der Kolben soll weiter einen Dichtungsring aufweisen, der sich durch gute Dichtwirkung auszeichnet und einfach auswechselbar ist, da im Falle einer Beschädigung bei einer Verfestigung von Metall nur der Dichtungsring beschädigt werden soll.The invention is therefore based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages described and a piston for use in a casting cylinder of a hot chamber die casting machine to create the one with simple and not expensive construction secure sealing guaranteed. The piston should also have a sealing ring, which is characterized by a good sealing effect and is easy to replace, because in the case If the metal is solidified, only the sealing ring is damaged shall be.
Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Kolben mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen
gelöst. Beim Kolben gemäss Anspruch 2 wird bei einer Verfestigung von Giessmetall zuerst
der Dichtungsring beschädigt, so dass nur dieser ausgewechselt werden muss. Mit einem
Kolben gemäss Anspruch 3 übt der Dichtungsring beständig eine Anpresskraft auf den
Giesszylinder aus. Der Kolben gemäss Anspruch 4 ist besonders zum Vergiessen von
Zinklegierungen geeignet.The object is achieved by a piston with the features specified in claim 1
solved. In the case of the piston according to

Der Kolben 1 aus Stahl ist mit seinem Kolbenkörper 2 (Fig. 1) im nur angedeuteten, ebenfalls
aus Stahl bestehendem Giesszylinder 3 (Fig. 5) axial geführt. Der Kolbenkörper 2 geht
über einen Kegelteil 4 in die Kolbenstange 5 über, die mit einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb
für die Axialbewegung verbunden ist Zwischen einem Kolbensteg 6 mit Abschrägung 7, der

Kegelmantelfläche 20 in seine Arbeitsstellung zusammengepresst (Fig. 6), in welcher der
Dichtungsring 11 vom Giesszylinder 3 mit dem Ringkörper 12 gegen den Kolbensteg 6 und
mit dem Ringsteg 13 in die Kolbennut 9 gedrückt wird,selbst aber wegen seiner Federeigenschaft
