Definitions

  • the invention relates to a casting device for casting cylinder crankcases by the low-pressure method.
  • a casting device with a crucible for receiving molten metal forming, acted upon by pressure furnace chamber known, and with a above the furnace chamber arranged mold.
  • a component of the casting mold is a molding cavity which forms the outer contour of the cylinder crankcase to be cast by casting.
  • a riser pipe connecting the oven cavity and the mold for filling the mold cavity with molten metal from below.
  • a casting apparatus for casting cylinder crankcases with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 5,477,906 known. Also the EP 1 498 197 A1 and the JP 2004 136323 A show similar casting devices. Common to these is an arrangement of the mold cavity such that this casting technology, the crankshaft storage chairs above, and the cylinder head cover surfaces images below.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a casting device which is improved with regard to the supply pressure and the mold temperature control in critical workpiece areas.
  • the advantages of this casting device are the faster metal entry with the formation of a fine microstructure in the area of especially the bearing blocks of the cylinder crankcase, while optimally dense feed in the sprue area on the cylinder head sealing surface.
  • the caster has the formation of cylinder cavities of the cylinder crankcase as a core from the outside through the mold and by the cylinder head cover surfaces of the outer contour into the mold cavity protruding retractable metallic sleeves.
  • Such sleeves and their advantages are from the EP 1 779 943 B1 known, which is also referred to in particular with respect to the measures for a precise positioning of the sleeves and the programmability of their extension and retraction in and out of the mold. Because of compared to the arrangement after the EP 1 779 943 B1 inverted, ie rotated by about 180 ° about a horizontal axis arrangement, the sleeves are from below, vertically extending and extended by the outer contour of the cast cylinder cylinder top surfaces of the individual cylinders in the mold cavity.
  • the sleeves are arranged so that they are linearly or translatorisch in an angular range of 0 to +/- 80 ° to the vertical.
  • the riser outside the furnace chamber has a pipe section for bridging the distance between the furnace chamber and the mold, which preferably has a length of 20 to 80 cm.
  • the length of the pipe section varies depending on the casting position of the casting, which in turn z. B. depends on the design of the cylinder crankcase to be cast and other structural measures between the furnace chamber and the mold.
  • the proposed length of 20 to 80 cm of the pipe section is measured from its lower end directly above the outlet of the riser pipe from the furnace chamber to its upper end at the junction of the feed channel formed by the riser into the mold cavity.
  • the pipe section on a thermal insulation and / or additional heating.
  • a branch connects to the riser.
  • This allows an embodiment of the casting plant such that the Pouring several castings with a casting or already for an improved inflow of molten metal in a single mold hollow body, the riser with a branched distribution system branches.
  • the branches over the riser can be flexibly guided to optimal for the quality of the casting of the outer contour of the hollow body.
  • separate branches may be provided for each cylinder leg, ie four for V engines and four for W engines.
  • branches the branch pipe above a straight pipe section applies to the length of the pipe section, this transition as its upper end.
  • the sleeves are each provided with a cooling device for cooling the lateral surfaces of the sleeves.
  • the cooling can be done by a liquid cooling medium inside the sleeves.
  • the mold may be a sand mold, a mold mold or a combination thereof.
  • the furnace chamber contains a light metal alloy, preferably an aluminum alloy.
  • the drawing shows a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of the casting apparatus in a side view.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows in a sectional side view of an embodiment of the casting plant for casting a V-engine.
  • furnace chamber 12 leads sealed and from above a riser 14 into the molten metal 10 vertically down.
  • a mold 16 is arranged, which encloses a mold cavity 18 in its interior.
  • the mold cavity 18 is arranged like an inverted "Y".
  • mold areas which represent the cylinder head cover surfaces 22 after casting, below and, in the case of the illustrated V-engine, on the two legs of the inverted "Y".
  • mold area whose liquid-cooled moldings the later crankshaft 24 with the space not shown in the drawing Map crankshaft storage chairs, in the upper region of the outer contour 20 of the cavity to be filled with melt 18, ie where the two legs of the "Y" converge.
  • the arrangement in an in-line engine would be different in that the mold cavity 18 is then arranged so that that mold region of the mold, which after casting represents the cylinder head cover surface, extends downwardly directly to the container or furnace chamber 12. Also in this case, that mold portion of the mold which images the later crankshaft space including the crankshaft bearing blocks forms the upper part of the cavity 18 to be filled with melt.
  • liquid-cooled sleeves sleeve 28 As mandrels for the later cylinder serve liquid-cooled sleeves sleeve 28. These are arranged axially movable between an active working position and an inactive retreat position. In the illustrated embodiment for a V-engine, the sleeves 28 are arranged obliquely movable on center axes 26, which are aligned with the center axes of the cylinder head cover surfaces 22. The quills 28 can be moved through the cylinder head cover surfaces 22 into the mold cavity 18.
  • the sleeves 28 are to act in the position shown as cores for the later cylinder, by corresponding recesses 30 in the mold 16 from the outside into the mold cavity 18 and extendable, and are for this purpose z.
  • B arranged individually or in groups on longitudinally movable carriages.
  • the riser pipe 14 Above its sealed outlet 32 from the furnace chamber 12 designed as a pressure vessel, the riser pipe 14 has a pipe section 34 which bridges the height distance between the furnace chamber 12 and the inlet of the riser channel into the mold cavity of the casting mold 16.
  • At least on a portion of the pipe section 34 is provided with an additional heater 36, which is preferably operated electrically.
  • branch pipes 40 may be provided with additional heaters.
  • the branch 38 itself may also be suitably heated to maintain the temperature of the rising molten metal at the level required for casting.
  • the junction 38 of the riser 14 At the junction 38, the riser 14 and thus also the riser channel divides into two or more branch pipes of a Branching system 40, whereby in each case a branch pipe leads to the inner cylindrical peripheral surfaces 42 imaging region of the mold cavity 18, and there opens vertically into the later cylindrical surface 42 of the imaging area of the mold cavity 18.
  • the furnace chamber 12 is subjected to a pressure P, which leads to the promotion of the melt in along the riser.
  • the pressurization is carried out by compressed air or by an inert gas from a pressure accumulator.
  • molten metal 10 As a result of the pressurization P is molten metal 10, z. As a molten aluminum or a melt of another light metal alloy, promoted from below into the riser 14, and rises in it. This can also be done simultaneously via a plurality of parallel risers 14. Previously, all sleeves were already 28 moved to their working position, ie in their active position in the mold space.
  • the melt passes via the pipe section 34 and optionally via the branch 38 from below, initially only in the later cylindrical surface 42 of the image forming part of the mold cavity 18 and thus in the area around the retracted, ie driven into, sleeves. With further supply of melt, this increases further in the mold space and it only then enters the upper, the later cylinder crankcase with the bearing blocks for the crankshaft bearing imaging part of the mold until finally the interior of the mold 16 is completely filled with melt.
  • This feed process of the molten metal leads to the formation of a particularly fine microstructure in the subsequent controlled or uncontrolled solidification of the melt, before finally the sleeves 28 are moved back to their inactive position.
