Definitions
- the invention relates to low-pressure die casting plants according to claims 1 and 12, an operating method according to Claim 16 and a mold according to claim 17.
- Low-pressure die casting plants are, for example, out CH 690 356 and EP-A 0 824 983 are known.
- at known systems are those of two mold halves existing molds firmly in a manipulator designated handling unit clamped. This is again firmly connected to a transport device, the manipulator with the mold from a work station moved to the next.
- the manipulator contains one Opening and closing mechanism with which the mold corresponding to those to be carried out at the respective work station Work steps, e.g. Core inserting, casting, Casting removal, cleaning, attaching a size film, can be opened or closed. Doing so the mold is always transported in the closed state. Because of the high weight of the mold, the Opening and closing mechanism massive guide parts for the mold halves and the corresponding drive elements.
- the manipulator also needs great forces apply to both mold halves in the casting station against the pressure of the rising liquid metal stick together so no edges on the casting arise.
- the manipulator therefore points to the expenditure of required closing force and to move the mold halves a large dead weight relative to each other. This mass must be from the transport device under appropriate Energy and time expenditure are moved.
- the Manipulator is constructed and is mechanically complex therefore complex to manufacture and maintain. To open and Closing the mold in the individual work stations a certain amount of time is necessary, which increases the duration an entire work cycle is enlarged and the Chill molds may be below a minimum temperature cool down, which requires additional heating steps.
- the invention is therefore based on the object Low-pressure die casting system to specify, in which the mentioned disadvantages are avoided, their manipulators are mechanically simple and the Transport between the individual workstations quickly and runs with reduced energy consumption.
- At least a casting station and at least one further work station are in a first variant of the Invention at least a first handling unit first type at least a second handling unit a second type available.
- first Handling unit closed to the transportation of a Chill mold and the second handling unit to the transport adapted to an open mold, i.e. each Handling unit on the purpose to be fulfilled with it tailored.
- the handling unit of the first type is for the Locking function and the transport of the closed Chill mold optimized.
- the mold is preferably made by one Receiving shaft, which the closed mold from at least two sides, preferably approximately a perfect fit surrounds.
- a locking mechanism for example comprises at least one closing piston, the mold halves are pressed against each other and the Mold fixed in the shaft. The mechanical Effort for this is low, since the closing piston is the mold only have to brace within the receiving shaft, a small stroke is sufficient. On means to open the mold becomes through the first handling unit waived. When casting, the mold remains in the first Handling unit.
- the handling unit of the second type is for the Optimized transport of the open mold. Time will saved by the molds between the workstations, that require processing in the open state, in open state.
- the second handling unit has two holding elements, each for mounting serve a mold half, the held Mold halves spaced apart and preferably are aligned in parallel. Depending on the process step to be carried out the opened mold for further processing handed over to the workstation, e.g. to the Core loading station, or remains during the corresponding Step attached to the handling unit, e.g. when graphitizing the mold.
- the function-optimized construction means that Handling units largely without moving parts and rigid, heavy guide elements.
- the opening or Closing movement is, where necessary, by a stationary one Opening and / or closing device directly to the Work stations realized.
- the Casting station a clamping unit for receiving a mold associated with coupling elements that the mold halves holds together during pouring. Furthermore is a gripping and transport system with at least one Handling unit available to hold the mold by attacking the coupling elements and Transport of the mold between the other work stations and serves the casting station or other work stations, the mold at the casting station to the clamping unit transferred or taken over by this.
- the molds are therefore not firmly clamped in a manipulator, but as such between and in the individual stations emotional.
- Handling units of the first can also be used or second type according to the first variant of Invention are used.
- the necessary clamping force through the stationary clamping unit that the mold preferably fits and in pinching way.
- the clamping unit Since the mold is independent of the mold has uniform external dimensions, e.g. at least a predetermined thickness, the clamping unit be made in one piece in which the Chill mold is used and, if necessary, under relatively little effort is clamped.
- the The clamping unit does not have to be moved.
- the Handling unit By means of the Handling unit is the mold in the clamping unit inserted and removed from this. While transporting themselves do not need great forces to hold the Mold halves are used.
- the handling unit can therefore, for example, a very light gripping and Have driving unit that the mold halves only slightly presses together to keep them closed.
- Handling unit can also be a robot, for example be used.
- the handling unit must total be less massive than when using the previously usual manipulators, since smaller masses are moved have to. It is therefore structurally simpler and less expensive.
- the systems according to the invention can because of the waiver on the permanent coupling of the mold to a common, handling unit moving to all stations completely be built modularly. If necessary, more Workstations are inserted or modified, which increases the flexibility of the system.
- the two variants of the invention can also be combined e.g. by the mold in the closed or open state with handling units of the first and the second type transported and at the casting station a stationary clamping unit is handed over. To this The handling unit of the first type can still run easier.
- molds are preferred with a standardized outer shape.
- a mold for example, has one actual casting body and thus connected coupling elements, e.g. in the form of side Flanges or plates. These are like that arranged that the spatial dimensions of the mold at least in one direction regardless of size of the basic body. This makes it possible without design effort a variety of different molds to use and replace as desired.
- the Holding elements or devices of the handling units, the clamping unit and the other opening and Locking devices can with a uniform Gripping system can be equipped, which is the manipulation the mold in the desired manner, e.g. Squeeze when pouring, pulling apart and Swiveling for cooling, etc.
- the receiving shaft of the The first handling unit therefore preferably has one Depth that depends on the distance between the coupling elements Mold halves in the closed state is adjusted.
- the handling units are each with a drive device connected and can work independently be moved.
- the handling units are preferably movable along a linear guide rail and height-adjustable.
- the mold s a coding that the type of mold, e.g. the Mold, indicates. This is done using suitable reading units read out at the individual stations and over sends a corresponding signal to a system control, which can be central or local.
- the control panel provides the workstation with the necessary data to control the work process. For example, a predetermined is in the casting station Pressure curve, i.e. the time-dependent pressure curve, set, which is adapted to the shape of the casting.
- the graphitization station becomes, for example predetermined time depending on the mold cooled.
- a cleaning station for example, cleaning nozzles depending on the mold moved over the open mold.
- the coding is preferably mechanical, e.g. a Arrangement of pins, but can be done in other ways be realized, e.g. by a barcode or a Disk. Robust mechanical coding can also when used among the few prevailing in casting clean operating conditions can be read reliably.
- Each work station is preferably a local one Control unit assigned to the local work processes controls.
- the relevant process data are preferred entered at a central control unit and from the queried local control unit.
