As a method of casting a product having a complicated shape, a method using a vanishing model such as a full mold method has been conventionally used. In this method, a product prototype (disappearing model) is manufactured from a material such as expanded polystyrene or polyurethane, and while the model is buried in molding sand, molten metal is injected through a sprue to burn and evaporate the model, thereby melting the model. This is a method of replacing with a metal. Using this model, instead of burying the model in casting sand, use silica (Si
A ceramic material such as O 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), zircon sand (ZrO 2 ) is applied to the model and fired at a high temperature to burn and burn off the internal model to make a ceramic shell mold. A method of performing casting using this mold has also been adopted. These methods are suitable for using models with complicated shapes because no die cutting is required. Generally, the vanishing model used in these methods is formed by heating and foaming polystyrene, polyurethane, etc. in a mold,
It has a solid structure.

In addition, the above problem does not occur when a casting method in which a model is burned out to obtain a ceramic shell mold in advance of high-temperature firing does not cause the above problem. There is a problem that the ceramic shell mold is easily damaged by the difference between the two. When the size of the product is large, the amount of expansion of the model is large, and particularly, the model is liable to be broken.

The present applicants have separately proposed a method of manufacturing a hollow complicated shape three-dimensional model using a photocurable resin, which has been conventionally difficult. (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-178439) As described above, many problems of the casting method using the vanishing model arise from the use of the solid model.

Since casting is performed using a hollow-shaped vanishing model, the amount of combustion gas generated is significantly reduced as compared to a solid model when buried in casting sand and replaced with molten metal. Further, the combustion gas can escape to the outside through the hollow portion of the model. Furthermore, even when a ceramic shell mold is manufactured, cracks or breakage during firing of the mold due to a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the model and the mold do not occur because the hollow portion of the model absorbs thermal expansion.

Is contained in a container, and the base plate 2 is exposed to light from above so as to have a depth such that a continuous cured portion extending from the upper surface of the resin liquid 10 to the upper surface of the base plate 2 can be obtained.
Submerge in 10 and position. Thereafter, light of an energy level necessary for curing the resin is emitted from the light source, and the light converging unit 4 converges the light in a point-like manner to obtain a band-shaped cured portion (3 ') on the base plate (2).

After the cured portion (3 ') is obtained, then, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the depth from the upper surface of the resin liquid 10 to the upper surface of the cured portion is a continuous cured portion extending between these two surfaces. The base plate 2 is settled so as to have a depth obtained by irradiation, that is, the same depth as the hardened portion is formed, and concentrated light irradiation through the concentrator 4 is selectively performed as described above, thereby obtaining the hardened portion. A new continuous hardened part is obtained on top. The support portion 3 obtained by repeating the operation of forming and laminating the band-shaped cured portion of the predetermined pattern is configured as a plurality of extremely thin plate-like members having a thickness of, for example, about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, It extends vertically at equal intervals. Further, the sedimentation of the base plate 2 and the formation of a hardened portion by light irradiation are repeated (see FIG. 2), and the spherical model 5 is formed together with the thin plate-like support portion 3 (see FIG. 1 (c)).

As described above, since the support portion 3 is fixedly formed so as to be interposed between the model 5 and the base plate 2, a hardened portion having a round bottom is peeled off from the base plate 2 or inclined with respect to the base plate 2. Thus, the spherical model 5 can be formed smoothly and reliably. In addition, the spherical model 5 having the hollow portion 5a is liable to cause distortion due to resin shrinkage, swelling, and delamination during molding, such as overall spherical distortion and partial unevenness. In this method,
In the shaping, a plurality of thin plate-like support portions 3 for reinforcement extending in the vertical direction to the outside of the spherical model 5 through the hollow portion 5a are formed at the same time, so that deformation at the time of forming a hardened portion due to light irradiation is prevented. be able to.

After the model 5 is formed, the lower end of the support portion 3 is broken to separate the model 5 from the base plate 2 (see FIG. 1 (D)). Since the support portion 3 is formed of the thin plate as described above, it has low mechanical strength and can be easily broken on the base plate 2.
Since the contact area with the base plate 2 is small, the contact area with the base plate 2 can be easily removed.

Next, the support part 3 separated from the base plate 2 is
If necessary, as shown in FIG. 1 (E), it is removed from the model 5 by an appropriate means. Thereby, a desired hollow spherical model 5 can be obtained without any damage, deformation, or the like.

As is clear from the above description, since the reinforcing support portion 3 is left in the interior 5a of the completed model 5, the model 5 exhibits extremely strong rigidity against deformation despite its hollow structure. . Further, the provision of the reinforcing support 3 allows the thickness of the model 5 to be reduced.
By changing the structure of the reinforcing support portion 3 (for example, to have a honeycomb shape), the rigidity required as a vanishing model can be ensured even when the thickness is 1 mm or less. Further, according to the present method, it is also possible to form a through hole in the reinforcing support portion 3 in the hollow portion 5a so that the spaces partitioned by the support portion 3 in the hollow portion 5a communicate with each other. Although FIG. 1 shows a case where a hollow spherical model is manufactured for simplicity, the present method can be used to manufacture a model having an extremely complicated shape.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a method of manufacturing a ceramic shell mold for casting using the hollow vanishing model manufactured by the above method. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a hollow vanishing model,
A plurality of thin plate-like reinforcing support portions 12 are formed in 11a. Also, when forming the support portions 12, each support portion 12
Is formed with a through-hole 12a, the spaces in the hollow portion 11a communicate with each other.

In this method, as shown in FIG.
The above-mentioned ceramic mold material 13 is sprayed or applied several times to cover and incorporate the model 11, but at this time, a vent hole 14 for releasing combustion gas is provided, and the model hollow portion 11a is provided.
And the outer surface of the mold material 13 are communicated. 15 is a gate.

Next, the mold is fired at about 1000 ° C. to sinter the ceramic 13. At this time, the model 11 in the mold 13 is burned and vaporized and released from the gas vent hole 14 through the through-hole 12a, but since the inside of the model 11 is hollow, air supply for combustion and discharge of combustion gas are performed. Is performed efficiently, and the generation of combustion residues is small. In addition, since the thermal stress caused by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the model 11 and the mold 13 during heating is absorbed by the support portion 12 of the hollow portion 11a, no large thermal stress is applied to the mold 13 and the conventional problem There is no breakage of the mold. Thus, ceramic shell molds for large castings can be manufactured using this method.

When the firing of the mold 13 is completed, the hollow model inside is vaporized and disappears.
Is formed (FIG. 4) and used as a casting mold.
In this case, the mold 13 may be manufactured in advance as a split mold, and the product 13 may be repeatedly used by casting and dividing the product to take out the product. May be taken out.

Also, without using a ceramic shell mold as described above,
The hollow model may be buried in the casting sand, the molten metal may be poured from the gate, and the model may be burned and vaporized to replace the molten metal. Also in this case, similarly to FIG. 3, the hollow model is provided with a gas vent hole and a through hole of the support portion. Since the model is hollow, the volume of the combustion part is small, the generation of combustion gas is significantly reduced as compared with the solid model, and the combustion gas is quickly passed through the through hole and the gas vent hole of the support part. Released to the atmosphere. For this reason, there is no danger of the molten metal being blown up by the combustion gas.
There is no problem such as material deterioration, casting defects, or rough cast iron. Furthermore, if a hollow model is used, it is possible to ignite and burn the model in the casting sand prior to pouring. Also in this case, since the oxygen is supplied through the hollow portion of the model, the model can be easily burned and eliminated.
