However, in the conventional mold casting apparatus configured as described above, when the mold casting apparatus is installed so that the position of the worker is outside the turntable as usual, the ladle is opposite to the worker side. Because it is located on the center side of the turntable, it is difficult to establish a facility regardless of what measures are taken, such as placing the melting furnace in the middle of the turntable, and the film stretched on the ladle There was a problem that was difficult to handle. Also, if the mold casting device is installed on the turntable so that the ladle is on the peripheral side of the turntable, the operator's position will be on the center side of the turntable and the operator will turn on the turntable. There is a problem that the worker is severe and exposed to danger.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object thereof is to place an operator on the outside of the turntable and install a melting furnace even when the mold casting apparatus is mounted on the turntable. The object is to provide a die casting apparatus.

In order to achieve the above object, a mold casting apparatus in a casting facility according to the present invention opens and closes a horizontal split mold by a mold opening / closing mechanism on an upper surface of a turntable disposed to be rotatable in a horizontal plane. In a mold casting apparatus in a casting facility in which a plurality of mold casting apparatuses provided with a ladle for pouring the horizontal split mold is provided, the ladle is provided on the peripheral side of the turntable, and the mold An opening / closing mechanism is provided so that the horizontal mold can reciprocate between a horizontal state and a vertical state so that the upper die base can be attached to the mold opening / closing mechanism from the horizontal state. The turntable is provided so as to be tiltable so as to tilt approximately 90 degrees toward the rotation center side of the turntable.

In this structure, the ladle is tilted toward the rotation center side of the turntable together with the mold opening / closing mechanism and the horizontal split mold, and the molten metal is poured into the mold and filled. In addition, the mold opening / closing mechanism and the mold are reversely tilted to return to the original state, and then the lower mold is lowered, and the upper die base and the upper mold are moved substantially 90 degrees to the rotation center side of the turntable. Then, the mold opening / closing mechanism and the mold are tilted again toward the peripheral side of the turntable, the upper mold is placed in a downward horizontal state, and the casting is pushed out from the upper mold.

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention provides a horizontal mold on the upper surface of a turntable disposed so as to be able to rotate intermittently in a horizontal plane so that it can be opened and closed by a mold opening / closing mechanism, and in a horizontal state. In a mold casting apparatus in a casting facility in which a plurality of mold casting apparatuses provided with a ladle for pouring a split mold is provided, the ladle is provided on a peripheral side of the turntable, and the mold opening and closing mechanism is provided. The horizontal mold is reciprocated between a horizontal state and a vertical state so as to be rotatable up and down, and an upper die base to which an upper mold is attached is mounted on the mold opening / closing mechanism from the horizontal state to the turntable. Because it is tiltable by tilting approximately 90 degrees toward the center of rotation, even if the mold casting device is mounted on the turntable, an operator is positioned outside the turntable and a melting furnace is installed to ensure casting. It exhibits an excellent practical effect of such can be performed.
