図ることができる。In order to solve such a problem, the inventors of the present application, as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. HEI 6-285616, have a slide placed at the bottom outlet of a ladle, facing a casting inlet of a mold placed at a molten metal filling position. Disclosed is an automatic pouring method and apparatus for pouring molten metal in a ladle into a mold cavity by means of a nozzle. As shown in FIG. 4 as an embodiment, the automatic pouring device disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-285616 has a protrusion 12 at the bottom outlet of the ladle 1 and a slide nozzle 13 that slides with a slight gap therebetween. With this slide nozzle 1
3 approaches and separates from the injection port 5 of the mold 4. JP-A-6-
According to Japanese Patent No. 285616, both the ladle 1 and the mold 4 do not move, and only a small slide nozzle 13 which is considerably smaller than the entire apparatus needs to slide slightly. A large-scale mechanism for raising and lowering the ladle 1 as in Japanese Patent No. 29177 is unnecessary. Further, it is not necessary to provide the mold 4 with the funnel-shaped opening 5, and the injection yield of the molten metal into the mold 4 is improved. Furthermore, since the bottom outlet 2 and the mold cavity form a molten metal passage through the protrusion 12 and the slide nozzle 13, energy loss and air entrainment due to turbulence are reduced, and the molten metal flow and quality can be improved. it can.

低下につながる。Therefore, the inventors of the present application filed Japanese Patent Application No. 6-84.
No. 74 filed an automatic pouring device for supplying compressed gas 17 from the outside to a slight gap between the projection 12 of the bottom outlet 2 and the slide nozzle 13 to prevent the molten metal from entering the gap. However, when the pressure of the gas supplied to the gap between the protruding portion 12 and the slide nozzle 13 greatly exceeds the pressure of the molten metal applied to this portion, the gas 17 supplied into the ladle 1 is bubbled as shown in FIG. It may become 18 and blow up. When such a phenomenon occurs, the amount of molten metal flowing out from the ladle 1 is reduced, the pouring time is remarkably extended, the oxidation of the molten metal is promoted, and the quality of the casting to be cast is deteriorated.

る位置の（ｈｂ）しかない。FIG. 6A shows a state where the molten metal 7 is normally injected into the mold cavity when gas is supplied to the gap between the protrusion 12 and the slide nozzle 13, and flows out from the ladle 1. The molten metal flow line 8 flows to fill the pipe of the protrusion 12 at the bottom outlet, and the molten metal head (ha) is added by the length of the protrusion 12 in addition to the height of the molten metal in the ladle 1. . On the other hand, FIG. 6 (b) shows a state that is likely to occur when the pressure of the gas supplied to the gap between the protrusion 12 and the slide nozzle 13 is excessive. A cavity 19 is formed in the protrusion 12 and molten metal is generated. The head is only at the position (hb) where the cavity 19 starts from the surface of the molten metal in the ladle 1.

体が取鍋１内の溶湯湯面に吹き上がることが多い。By the way, the streamline of the liquid that freely falls becomes thinner from the top to the bottom. The flow of the molten metal in the pipe of the protrusion 12 is exceptional in the state shown in FIG. 6 (a), and most of the state is the state in which the cavity 19 of FIG. 6 (b) has been generated. Therefore, the gas supplied between the protrusion 12 and the slide nozzle 13 often blows up to the surface of the molten metal in the ladle 1 by simply making the inside of the pipe of the protrusion 12 a cylinder.

Decrease. Therefore, even if the pressure of the gas 17 supplied at the beginning of pouring is not higher than that of the molten head (h1), the molten head becomes (h2) at the latter stage of pouring, and the compressed gas 17
And the gas 17 blows up as bubbles 18. Then, the amount of molten metal flowing out from the ladle 1 is also reduced, the pouring time is significantly extended, the oxidation of the molten metal is promoted, and the quality of the casting to be cast is deteriorated.

して、高品質の鋳物が鋳造できる。As described above in detail, the automatic pouring method and apparatus according to the present invention are such that the inside of the pipe extending to the bottom outlet of the ladle is gradually squeezed from the upper part to the lower part. As a result, the streamline of the molten metal, which becomes thinner from the top to the bottom and falls freely, follows the inside of the pipe of the protruding portion, and no cavity is formed between the streamline of the molten metal and the inside of the pipe of the protruding portion. In addition, compressed gas is supplied from the outside to the gap between the protrusion and the slide nozzle in accordance with the molten metal pressure that gradually decreases as the molten metal in the ladle is filled into the mold, and thus a cavity is created in the pipe of the protrusion. In addition, it prevents the intrusion of the molten metal into this gap and prevents the molten metal from blowing out onto the surface of the ladle. Then, the pouring amount and pouring time from the ladle can be stabilized, oxidation of the molten metal can be prevented, and high quality casting can be cast.
