Definitions
- the invention relates to a melt transport device as well as a method for transporting melt and a method for casting melt.
- DE 10 2007 011 253 A1 discloses a casting device with a melt container for metallic materials.
- An injector is arranged on an underside of the melt container and has an opening for discharging the melt. Furthermore, a United locking device is formed, which is used to close the opening.
- the casting device known from DE 10 2007 011 253 A1 has the disadvantage that the closure device can become dirty, so that its tightness can no longer be guaranteed after some use.
- the casting device or the casting method also has the disadvantage that the flow behavior or the flow speed of the melt during casting can only be inadequately controlled due to the described design of the closing device.
- the casting device or the casting method also has the disadvantage that, due to the positioning of the closing device above the lance, the melt has a large impact height on the casting mold, which can damage the casting mold. In addition, turbulence and thus oxide inclusions can arise in the casting due to the large drop height. All of this leads to the production of inferior cast workpieces.
- the object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a device and a method by means of which ver improved cast workpieces can be produced. This object is achieved by a device and a method according to the claims.
- a melt transport device comprises a melt container in which a melt receiving space is formed and a spout which is coupled to the melt container, the spout having a pouring opening which is in flow connection with the receiving space.
- a gas valve is arranged in the melt container, which is flow-connected to the melt receiving space and which is designed for the regulated introduction of gas into the melt receiving space.
- the gas valve is arranged above half a filling level maximum.
- a siphon is formed in the spout, which has a reservoir which is arranged between the melt receiving space and the pouring opening, the reservoir having an overflow level, a siphon wall being formed which has a Siphon wall lower edge, where the siphon wall protrudes into the reservoir in such a way that a siphon wall lower edge is arranged at a lower level than the overflow level.
- the highest point of the lower edge of the siphon wall is arranged at a lower level than the lowest point of the overflow level.
- the siphon wall is designed so that it protrudes into the Re reservoir in such a way that when the reservoir is filled with melt up to an overflow level, the melt receiving space is closed in a gastight manner to the outside of a melt container.
- the overflow level in the sense of this document is the level from which the melt can flow out of the reservoir and subsequently out of the pouring opening due to the influence of gravity.
- a second embodiment of the invention provides that a sieve is arranged in the spout, which has a mesh size between 0.05 mm and 10 mm.
- a pouring channel in the area of the sieve or in the area of the siphon can have a diameter between 5mm and 200mm, in particular between 10mm and 100mm, preferably between see 20mm and 80mm.
- the embodiment variants according to the invention both have the surprising advantage that no mechanical closure is required as a leakage protection for the melt, which is arranged in the area of the melt, but that a negative pressure can be applied in the melt receiving space, whereby the melt can run out of the melt transport device can be prevented. In this way, adequate leakage protection can be achieved at all times, since there is no mechanical seal in the area of the melt that could contaminate.
- the height of fall of the melt can be kept as low as possible, whereby a steady pouring of the melt into a mold can be light.
- the outflow speed or the outflow behavior of the melt can be precisely controlled by means of the gas valve.
- both embodiment variants according to the invention are based on the same inventive prin zip.
- This inventive principle is that on the part of the pouring opening, the ambient pressure, in particular the atmospheric pressure, acts on a first melt surface, and in the melt receiving space of the melt container, an internal melt receiving space pressure acts on a second melt surface, the internal melt pressure being lower than the ambient pressure.
- the internal pressure of the melt chamber can thus also be referred to as negative pressure.
- the level of the second melt surface can be kept higher than the level of the first melt surface, as a result of which the melt can be prevented from running out of the melt receiving space.
- an actual fill level can, if necessary, be kept higher than the overflow level of the reservoir through the negative pressure.
- the melt would drain over the overflow level of the reservoir until the actual filling level is the same as the overflow level of the reservoir.
- the pressure difference between the ambient pressure and the internal pressure of the melting chamber determines the height of the column of melt above the overflow level of the reservoir.
- the pressure difference between the ambient pressure and the internal pressure of the melt receiving space also determines the height of the column of melt, the first melt surface being formed directly on the screen.
- the effect of the stable first melt surface is achieved in that the first melt surface is aligned horizontally through the siphon and the ambient pressure can act on the first melt surface from above.
- the first melt surface is maintained by the action of gravity and not disturbed.
- the use of the sieve ensures that individual small openings are formed, each of which has the required mesh size. point.
- the atmospheric ambient pressure thus acts on each of these individual small openings, the surface tension of the melt being high enough at the individual small openings of the screen to prevent a drop from forming which is capable of dripping off.
- the leakage of the melt from the melt transport device can be successfully prevented solely by means of the sieve and even without the presence of the additional siphon.
- an additional sieve is arranged elsewhere in the pouring channel in order to be able to filter out impurities, for example.
- the mesh size of the sieve is selected in such a way that the surface tension of a melt to be accommodated in the melt receiving space, together with the atmospheric counter pressure, prevents the formation of a drip drop.
- a mesh size between 0.05mm and 10mm, depending on the type of melt.
- the mesh size claimed was therefore chosen as the structural equivalent for the aspect of the invention. If, however, for a composition that has not yet been investigated, a mesh size that is outside these limits is also based on the same aspect of the invention, then such a variant is also covered by the claims.
- the mesh size to be selected depends on the viscosity properties or the surface tension of the melt.
- a screen within the meaning of this document can be a screen which is formed from a metallic material, as is described in DE 20 2006 002 897 U1 or in EP2270248A2.
- the sieve can also be formed from a ceramic material, as described in DE 2848005 A1.
- the sieve in the sense of this document can have a lattice structure through which the mesh size is formed in a regular pattern.
- the screen can also be formed by a porous structure, such as a sponge-like structure.
- the filling level maximum is arranged between 20 mm and 3000 mm, in particular between 100 mm and 2000 mm, preferably between 300 mm and 1000 mm above the overflow level.
- a good leakage protection of the melt can be achieved by means of the attainable negative pressure in the Schmelzeauf receiving space.
- the spout is designed as a lance and the siphon and / or the sieve is arranged on an underside of the lance.
- Such an embodiment variant has the advantage that the height of fall of the melt in the casting mold can be kept as low as possible, whereby on the one hand a smooth casting can be achieved and on the other hand washing out of molding sand can be prevented as much as possible.
- a lance can for example be introduced directly into the casting mold.
- the sieve is arranged in the spout in such a way that the upper side of the sieve faces the melt receiving space and the lower side of the sieve faces the pouring opening or forms the end of the pouring opening, with the top side lying in a horizontal plane.
- the formation of drops can be prevented well, as a result of which good functionality of the melt transport device can be achieved.
- droplet formation is prevented in particular by the fact that a drop located on a single sieve opening remains centrally on this sieve opening and is not shifted laterally to the sieve opening by gravity, where it connects with another drop of another sieve opening would.
- the sieve has a mesh size between 0.1 mm and 2 mm, in particular between 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm, preferably between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm.
- mesh sizes in the specified range can serve as best as possible to prevent droplet formation on the sieve.
- the mesh size in the context of this document is the distance between the walls bordering the sieve opening.
- a magnetic element is arranged on the spout, which is designed to apply a magnetic field to the melt flowing in the spout.

In addition, the effective direction of the magnetic field can be influenced by means of an electromagnet.
- the electromagnet is subjected to direct current.
- the electromagnet is acted upon with alternating current.
- the melt comprises aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Since aluminum is paramagnetic, this material can have a magnetic effect on the melt.
- the gas valve is designed as a valve block which comprises at least two individual valves.
- the gas supply into the melt receiving space can be precisely controlled, in particular by means of a valve block with several individual valves, whereby an exact discharge of the melt can be achieved.

- the accuracy of the gas entry into the melt receiving space can be further improved.
- valve block comprises between 8 and 20 individual valves, in particular between 11 and 15 individual valves, of different sizes.
- the advantage here is that with such a number of individual valves, the flow rate can be set as continuously as possible and, moreover, the valve block can still have a manageable size or the complexity and maintenance intensity are kept within limits due to the limited number of individual valves can be.
- the individual valves are designed in the form of slide valves.
