Description

2332171 " 1 1 A Method of Producine a Cast Article This invention relates
to methods of producing cast articles and in particular to a method of producing a cast article having at least two parts and to a cast article having two parts, the article being produced according to the method of the invention.
It is known to produce cast articles from molten material, such as metal or plastics, by pouring or pressing the material into a mould. To make an article having two parts, such as a box with a lid, it is necessary when using existing casting techniques to use separate moulding tools for each part, e.g. one for the box and a different one for the lid, each producing a separate casting. When making parts intended to fit together in use from separate casting operations, it is also known that, when they are brought together, fit and finish problems can occur.
It is one object of this invention to provide an improved method of producing a cast article having at least two parts and another object of this invention is to provide a cast article having two parts, the article being produced according to the method of the invention.
According to the invention there is provided a method of producing a cast article having two parts arranged to fit together in use, the method including the steps of.
a) introducing a casting material into a casting apparatus such that a casting having a cavity defined therein is produced; and b) separating the casting into first and second parts by parting the casting along at least one line on a wall surrounding the cavity and providing a sealing member on one part of the casting along the line in order to provide a seal between the two parts when they are fitted together in use.
The method may also include parting the casting along a second line surrounding the cavity to provide an overlap of the two parts and may also include providing a sealing member along the second line in order to provide a double seal between the two parts when they are fitted together.
The method may also include forming a closure edge on at least one part of the casting to enable the two parts to be moved into and out of a closed position in which they are fitted closely together. The closure edge is preferably formed along the line parting the casting into two parts and, if the casting is parted along more than one hne, a closure edge may be formed on one or more of those lines.
Each part of the casting may comprise a panel extending away from the cavity and the step of parting the casting to provide an overlap of the two parts may include forming the first part into a body panel of a vehicle and the second part into a closure panel of the body panel, whereby the closure panel may be moveable between a closed position in which the panels are fitted closely together and an open position in which the closure panel may be at least partly spaced apart from the body panel to expose an aperture defined in the body panel.
The method may also include providing in the casting apparatus a moulding core which is arranged to define the cavity of the casting. The moulding core may comprise a substantially collapsible moulding core.
The method may include substantially removing the moulding core after the casting has been formed. The removal of the moulding core may take place before parting the casting and may be achieved by using a lost core moulding technique. AlternatiVely, the method may include removing the moulding core after parting 10 the casting.
The invention also provides a storage container or a vehicle body panel and associated openable closure member, all of which are produced according to the method of the invention. The body panel may comprise a roof panel of the vehicle and the closure member may comprise a sunroof panel.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a section through a casting apparatus during the production of an article according to a method of the invention; Figure 2 is a section through the article of Figure 1 during a later stage of its production; Figure 3 is a section through part of a cast article during its production in accordance with a first modification of the invention; Figure 4 is a section through the same part of the article of Figure 3 on completion of its production; Figure 5 is a section through a further article during its production in accordance with a second modification of the invention; Figure 6 is an expanded view of part of the view of Figure 4 during a later stage of production of the article; and Figure 7 is a section through the article of Figure 5 on completion of its production.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a casting apparatus comprises a moulding tool 10 having two tool sections 11, 12 joined on a split-line 13. The tool 10 defines a cavity in which is retained a casting core 14.
In use, a molten plastics material is fed into the cavity through a sprue 16 and the cavity is vented on the opposite side to the sprue 16 through a vent hole (not shown) incorporated on the split-hne 13.
The casting material envelopes the core 14 and forms a single piece casting 17 in the cavity between the core 14 and the moulding tool 10. When the casting material has solidified, the two sections 11, 12 of the tool 10 are separated and the single piece casting 17 is removed. The casting flash from the sprue 16 and the vent hole is trimmed off, to leave the single piece casting 17 enveloping the core 14, as shown in Figure 2.
The single piece casting 17 is separated into a lower part 19 and an upper part 20 by cutting around the casting 17 on a line 18. The core 14 is removed and the lower and upper parts 19, 20 form a simple box assembly in which the lower part 19 acts as a container and the upper part 20 forms a lid. The container 19, 20 is fitted to a vehicle interior and is used as a glove box.
The container 19 and lid 20 have a good fit between them along respective closure edges which are formed simultaneously using an appropriate profile on a tool (not shown) which is used to perform the cutting operation along the line 18.
A seal (not shown) may be fitted around one or both of the container 19 and lid 20 in place of, or in addition to, the formation of one or both of the closure edges In a first modification of the invention, a method of producing a roof panel for a vehicle having a removable sunroof panel is provided and is described with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
A roof panel 30 comprises a single piece casting and has two parts, a fixed panel 31 and a sunroof panel 32. The roof panel 30 is produced by filling a cavity of a casting apparatus with a molten plastics material, such that the material surrounds a casting core 34 retained within the cavity.
The core 34 outlines the outer profile of the sunroof panel 32 in the panel 30 and is formed to provide a box-section 33 on the underside of the casting along that profile. The casting has a step 35 formed on it which steps down into the box section 33.
The box section 33 is cut along a first cutting line 36 around its peripheral wall. The first cutting line 36 parts the sunroof panel from the fixed panel 31 along the outer portion of the step 35, thereby leaving the outer panel 31 joined to the sunroof 32 by a substantially "U' shaped portion 37 formed out of the box section 33. The "U' shaped portion 37 is cut, following its point of contact with the sunroof panel 32 and all the way around it, along a second cutting line 38. In this manner, the sunroof panel 32 is separated from the fixed roof panel 31 and the core 34 is then removed.
A seal 40A, 40B is fixed to each of the respective edges 41, 42 of the roof panel 31 and the sunroof 32. The seals 40A, 40B are dimensioned to compensate for the material removed by cutting the -casting 30 along the lines 36, 38 such that the panel fit between the sunroof 32 and the roof panel 31 remains even. The seals 40A, 40B also provide a double over-lapping seal between the panels 31, 32. The base of the "U' shaped portion 37 acts as a drip channel for drainage of water away from the sunroof 32.
The principle of the first modification of this invention is also readily applicable to a second modification of the invention in which a vehicle roof structure is produced having a double skinned fixed roof and a single skin sunroof' as shown with reference to Figures 5, 6 and 7.
A single piece roof casting 50 is produced in a similar fashion to the roof panel 30 described above in the first modification. A second core 53 which is of the lost core type is used to form a double skinned fixed roof panel 51, in place of the single skin roof panel 31 of the first modification.
Between the double skinned roof panel 51 and a sunroof panel 52 there is formed a box section 55 around a core 54 which is similar in its method of production and construction to the box section portion 33 of the first modification The box section 55 is parted along two cutting lines 56, 57 and the core 54 i 15 removed.
A pair of seals 58A, 58B are fitted to the contact edges 59, 60 of the double skinned roof panel 51 and the sunroof 52 respectively, to provide an overlapping double seal between the panels 51, 52 which has a drip channel 61, also similar to the arrangement described above with reference to the first modification.
Both the modifications of the invention include the essential feature of this invention, which is to provide a method using which cast articles having separable parts which are arranged to fit together in use can be produced from a single casting. This invention has the advantage of reducing the number of casting tools needed to manufacture parts. Furthermore, by making both parts off a single tool, inaccuracies in profile and gap fit between the panels are reduced.
The method is applicable to both metal and plastic based castings and can find applications in a wide range of articles having closure panels, for example: a glove box on a vehicle dashboard panel having an openable lid; a vehicle storage box; and as a method of producing a vehicle body or sections thereof having openable panels such as doors.
The cores used may be of any type suitable for producing a hollow core in the casting such as, for example, a wax based lost core. In a preferred modification to the method of this invention, however, a collapsible core is used. This sort of core comprises a skin type membrane filled with a substantially loose core material and is suitable to replace the cores 14, 34, and 54 of the embodiments of this invention described above. The reader is referred to GB 2 284 173 for a disclosure of one suitable type of collapsible core. If such a collapsible core is used to replace the core 53 of Figure 5, it is possible to leave the core in place after the casting operation by, for example, using a light-weight core material to fill the membrane.
