Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a metallic mold for forming a foam pattern, in which a passage for air or heating steam can be formed in a large opening area and small man-hours. CONSTITUTION:In the metallic mold for forming the foam pattern having a narrow cavity part 13 at least at a part of the cavity 3, a slit cutting hole 14 communicating the inner part with the outer part is arranged in the mold surface of at least the narrow cavity part 13. The cutting hole 14 can be formed very easily as compared with the case of arranging many holes of small vents or fine holes to obtain the total opening area same as the large opening area while preventing the passing-through of raw material beads.

2. Description of the Related Art An extinguishing model made of expandable thermoplastic resin particles is embedded in foundry sand, and a molten metal is injected into the extinguishing model so that the extinguishing model is burned and vaporized to have the same shape as the extinguishing model. A method for obtaining a cast product is generally called a filling casting method and is widely used.

In order to manufacture this vanishable model, expandable thermoplastic resin particles such as expanded polystyrene and expanded polymethylmethacrylate are pre-expanded and filled in a cavity defined by a divided mold together with air. And by introducing heating steam into the cavity,
In general, the pre-expanded particles are expanded and fused together to form a molded body.

By the way, in the mold for forming a foamed model, innumerable vents and pores are provided on the cavity surface (see JP-A-60-137545). The vents and pores function as an air escape passage when the pre-expanded particles are filled in the cavity and a heating steam introduction passage after the filling, and play an important role in forming the foamed model.

The vent of the mold for forming the foamed model has a mold body 1 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example.
A vent hole 31 is bored in the vent hole 31, and the vent 30 is driven into the vent hole 31. There is a small vent having a diameter of 2 to 3 mm as the kind of the vent, but the opening area of the vent is very small, so that the pre-expanded particles may be insufficiently filled or defectively fused.

Here, if a rib having a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm is present in the foamed model, the mold requires a narrow cavity portion having an inverted shape. However, it is difficult to provide a vent having an appropriate size in such a narrow cavity portion. Therefore, it has no choice but to use a small vent. It is also possible to provide pores communicating with the outside, but the diameter of the pores must be smaller than the particle size of the pre-expanded particles, and generally only pores having a diameter of 0.7 mm or less can be provided.

However, since the opening area of the small vents and the pores is very small, it is difficult to allow air and heating steam to sufficiently pass therethrough. Therefore, in order to prevent defective filling and defective fusion of pre-expanded particles in the narrow cavity portion, it is necessary to provide a large number of small vents and pores to increase the total amount of the opening area. However, in this case, there is a problem that the number of steps for forming the vent holes and the pores becomes enormous.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a foamed model molding die capable of forming passages for air and heating steam with a large opening area and with a small number of steps. .

A foamed model molding die of the present invention which solves the above-mentioned problems is a divided foamed model molding die having a narrow cavity portion in at least a part of a cavity, and at least a narrow cavity. It is characterized in that a slit-shaped cut hole that connects the inside and the outside of the narrow cavity portion is provided on the mold surface of the portion.

[Function] For example, the opening area of pores having a diameter of 0.7 mm is 0.

On the other hand, in the foamed model molding die of the present invention, for example, even if the opening width of the slit-shaped cut hole is 0.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the pore, the cut hole length is set to 10 mm 2 for the opening area.

That is, in the mold for forming a foamed model of the present invention, since the narrow cavity has a cut hole with a large opening area, when the pre-foamed particles are filled, the pre-foamed particles are prevented from escaping and air is blown from the narrow cavity. It can be discharged smoothly. Further, when introducing the heating steam, the heating steam is smoothly introduced into the narrow cavity portion. Then, compared with, for example, providing 26 pores having a diameter of 0.7 mm, it is extremely easy to form 20 mm slit-shaped cut holes having an opening width of 0.5 mm, and a die can be manufactured with a small number of steps. It will be possible.

Next, a method of molding a foamed model using the above mold will be described. First, the movable mold 2 is brought into contact with the fixed mold 1, and the mold is clamped. In this state, the space 10 and the space 20 are open to the atmosphere. Then, the pre-expanded particles 40 are filled in the cavity 3 together with air by the filling gun 4. The air supplied together with the pre-expanded particles 40 and the air in the cavity 3 are the vent 30, the space 10 and the space 2.
It escapes to the atmosphere from the passage 11 and the passage 21 through 0, and escapes to the atmosphere from the narrow cavity portion 13 through the cut hole 14, the space 10 and the passage 11. Therefore, the pre-expanded particles 40 are surely filled even in the narrow narrow cavity portion 13 and the filling failure is prevented.

When the pre-expanded particles 40 are completely filled in the cavity 3 and the narrow cavity portion 13, the space 10 is then filled.
The heating steam is supplied into the space 20 through the passages 11 and 21. The heating steam passes through the vent 30 and the cut hole 14, and the cavity 3 and the narrow cavity portion 1
3, the pre-expanded particles 40 expand and are fused and integrated with each other.

Then, after the supply of heating steam is stopped and the molded body is cooled and solidified, the movable mold 2 is opened from the fixed mold 1, the foamed model is taken out from the cavity 3, and one molding cycle is completed. That is, in the mold of this embodiment, since the slit-shaped cut hole 14 is formed in the narrow cavity portion 13, the air and the heating steam can be smoothly taken in and out.
Further, the cut hole 14 can be formed extremely easily,
The manufacturing cost of the mold is lower than that of the conventional means for forming a small number of small vents or a large number of pores.

According to the mold for forming a foamed model of the present invention, air is smoothly discharged from the narrow cavity portion, so that the defective filling of the pre-foamed particles is eliminated. Further, since the heating steam is smoothly supplied to the narrow cavity portion, the defective fusion of the pre-expanded particles is reliably prevented and the non-defective rate of the molded product is improved.
