Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process.
- Apparatuses that use melting furnaces connected by means of closed channels to unpressurized holding furnaces are known among the various types of apparatus for die-casting metal by melting it and subsequently pressure-casting the molten metal inside the die.
- In these apparatuses, the metal alloy is drawn from the holding furnaces, typically at atmospheric pressure, by means of cup-like containers that are dipped into the metal bath by means of an appropriately provided opening formed in the structure of the holding furnace, and is then injected into the die by means of injectors.
- These types of apparatus have problems in terms of loss of temperature of the molten metal during collection and pouring with the cup-like containers, surface oxidation of the molten metal, regassing and foaming of the molten material during pouring.
- Moreover, apparatuses are known which use pressurizable holding furnaces and are generally termed "low-pressure" apparatuses.
- In these apparatuses, the holding furnace is in fact associated with a casting machine which, by means of the pressurization of the furnace, allows the molten metal to rise inside the solidification die, which is at a lower pressure.
- This rise occurs by means of casting tubes that dip into the molten metal in a lower region and are connected to the die in an upper region.
- Such machine, at each casting cycle, repeats the pressurization until the amount of molten material in the furnace is sufficient for casting.
- These so-called "stand-alone" apparatuses have an inlet for loading the molten metal, which is closed by a hermetic door and is provided with a manual engagement system for the ladle for loading the holding furnace before it is pressurized.
- Although these kinds of apparatus have been commercially available for some time and have been appreciated for their qualities, they are not free from drawbacks and further have aspects that can be improved.
- In these apparatuses there are in fact many idle times for the filling of the holding furnace with the molten metal.
- Every time the holding furnace is emptied by the succession of castings in order to fill the die, it is necessary to stop the pressurization machine and fill the furnace, wasting time and losing temperature in the dies.
- Further, the operations for pouring and transferring the molten metal into the holding furnace cause regassing, foaming and oxidation of the molten material.
- Moreover, these operations are rather dangerous.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that solves the problems noted in known types of casting apparatus.
- Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that allows to automate the operations of the casting process by using a holding furnace that can be pressurized.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that solves the logistic problems linked to filling the holding furnaces.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that eliminates the risks linked to operations for pouring and transferring the molten metal into the casting apparatuses.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that maintains a constant level of molten metal in the holding furnace for each casting cycle.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that can be manufactured with known systems and technologies.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, comprising at least one heated channel for feeding molten material from at least one melting furnace to at least one pressurizable holding furnace, said holding furnace being associable by way of casting means with at least one die, characterized in that it comprises at least one valve for closing the feed between said at least one channel and said at least one holding furnace.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment thereof, illustrated by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of the apparatus according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of a portion of the apparatus according to the invention.
-
- With reference to the figures, an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, according to the invention, is generally designated by the
reference numeral 10. -
Such apparatus 10 comprises at least one coveredchannel 12 for feeding molten metal from at least one meltingfurnace 11 to apressurizable holding furnace 15. - The flow of
molten metal 14 between themelting furnace 11 and thechannel 12 occurs by means of apump 12a. -
First level sensors 12b are provided within thechannels 12. - The
channel 12 is heated by way of per se known heating means, which are not shown in the figures. - The
pressurizable holding furnace 15 is associated, by way of casting means, forexample casting tubes 16, with a die (not shown in the figures). - The
casting tubes 16 have theirinlet 16a immersed in the molten metal of theholding furnace 15. - A
closure valve 17 is arranged between theheated channel 12 and theholding furnace 15. -
Such closure valve 17 comprises aflow control element 18, which is associated with atranslational actuator 19, which in this embodiment corresponds to a pneumatic cylinder and allows theflow control element 18 to perform a translational motion at right angles to the outflow section of themolten material 14 through said valve. - The
flow control element 18 is connected to thetranslational actuator 19 by means of acylindrical stem 20. - Said outflow section substantially coincides with the sealing
seat 21 with which theflow control element 18 mates. - The sealing
seat 21 has a circular cross-section that matches the transverse cross-section of thepart 18a of theflow control element 18 that mates with theseat 21. - The
flow control element 18 can perform a translational motion from a position that is substantially spaced from the sealingseat 21 to a position for mating with theseat 21; in any case, theflow control element 18 remains constantly in contact with themolten metal 14 both when thevalve 17 is open and when it is closed. - The
flow control element 18, moreover, is associated with anaxial rotation actuator 22, which in this embodiment consists of a pneumatic cylinder that is arranged horizontally and is associated with kinematic means. - Such kinematic means are constituted, in this embodiment, by spherical joints (not shown in the figures), which act between the cylinder and the flow control element and between the cylinder and the base structure to which it is coupled, and allow to convert the linear motion of the pneumatic cylinder into a circular motion.
- The
axial rotation actuator 22 allows theflow control element 18 to rotate about itsown stem 20 when it is inserted in the sealingseat 21. - In this embodiment, both the
flow control element 18 and the sealingseat 21 are made of ceramic material. - Means are also provided for the automated opening/closure of the
valve 17. - Such automated opening/closure means are constituted by second level sensors (not shown in the figures) for detecting the level of the molten metal inside the
holding furnace 15. - The second level sensors are functionally connected to an electronic control and actuation unit (not shown in the figures), which in turn is associated with the
translational actuators 19 and with therotational actuators 22. - The operation of the invention is as follows.
- The molten material, typically a metal alloy, is fed or melted inside the
melting furnace 11 and sent to thepressurizable holding furnace 15 along theheated channels 12 by means of thepump 12a, which is managed automatically by thefirst level sensors 12b. - When the
valve 17 is open, the molten material that arrives from themelting furnace 11 feeds theholding furnace 15 by means of theheated channels 12. - In particular, the
melting furnace 11 feeds thechannel 12 by means of thepump 12a and keeps its level constant. - When the molten material reaches a preset level inside the
holding furnace 15, this is reported by the second level sensors 15a to the electronic control and actuation unit, which closes thevalve 17, mating with a slight pressure, thanks to thetranslational actuator 19, theflow control element 18 and the sealingseat 21 through which the molten material flows. - At this point, the flow control element orders the
rotational actuator 22 to make the flow control element perform a plurality of partial rotations (for example rotations through approximately 45° alternated in clockwise/counterclockwise directions) while it is mated with theseat 21 with a slight pressure. - In this manner, the
seat 21 is cleaned and the flow control element settles in an optimum manner on theseat 21. - The valve is then closed further by increasing the closure pressure of the
flow control element 18 on theseat 21. - The
holding furnace 15 is then pressurized and the molten material contained inside it can rise through thecasting tubes 16 into the die, which is at a lower pressure, where solidification occurs. - After the molten material has risen through the
tubes 16, the air or gas used to pressurize thefurnace 15 is discharged and thevalve 17 can be reopened. - In this manner, in accordance with the principle of communicating vessels, the molten material resumes flowing from the
channel 12 toward theholding furnace 15, which is thus returned to the level for injection into the die. - The optimum level inside the
channel 12 is maintained by means of thepump 12a and thefirst level sensors 12b. - It should be noted that the lower part of the
flow control element 18 is always in contact with the molten material, so as to avoid thermal shocks. - In practice it has been found that the invention thus described solves the problems noted in known types of casting apparatus; in particular, the present invention provides an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that reduces surface oxidation of the molten material that flows within the closed channels.
- Moreover, the present invention provides an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that ensures a constant temperature along the entire path of the molten material.
- Further, the present invention provides an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that allows to automate the operations for filling the pressurizable holding furnace, allowing a "continuous" feed and thus solving the logistic problems linked to the filling of holding furnaces.
- In particular, it should be noted that the molten material is fed to the pressurizable furnace cyclically, without manual interventions, substantially by using the automatic system that actuates the valve that closes the feed between the channel and the holding furnace.
- Not least, the present invention provides an apparatus for feeding molten material from the melting area to the holding area in casting apparatuses, particularly apparatuses using a low-pressure process, that eliminates the risks linked to the operations for pouring and transferring the molten metal in said apparatus.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
