Definitions

  • Casting cores of the type in question are used for the casting production of castings from a molten metal.
  • the casting cores form cavities, such as channels or chambers. These cavities can be provided to save weight. As a rule, however, they are flowed through by a fluid in practical use.

  • the Machine is introduced, are tuned so that a Complete mold filling is achieved even with very finely divided cores.
  • the cores are solidified by exposure to heat or gassing with a reaction gas so that they can be removed from the core shooter and used in the respective casting mold, where they withstand the loads occurring during casting of the molten metal.
  • Typical examples of castings in which such channels and cavities are molded by means of casting cores are housings for drive machines, which must be cooled during operation.
  • cooling jackets are generally provided, that is, a system of passages surrounding the area of the machine in which heat is generated during operation as a result of energy turnover, thereby ensuring optimum flow through the critical areas of the machine and machine In this way, to ensure maximum cooling effect with small dimensions, the highest demands are placed on the quality of the surfaces of each of the casting core represented by the channels.

  • a casting core according to the invention is therefore not produced in one piece, but composed of two or more sub-segments. Since these individual segments themselves no longer define a cavity, they can be produced in the conventional core shooting process using simple core tools. Complex slide arrangements, as required for imaging hollow bodies, are not required for the production of the subsegments. At the same time, the inventively formed

  • Sub-segments positively against each other defining form elements allow, for example, a simple coupling of the sub-segments to the mold core surrounding the mold in the mold parts and cores, such as side cores, and thus a simple automatable assembly of the mold according to the invention.

  • Divisional joints between the sub-segments can be formed shell-like in such a cylindrical tube-shaped casting core, the individual sub-segments. Equally, however, it may also be expedient to separate one or more subsegments from the other subsegments of the casting mold such that the relevant subsegments are annular.
