Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a casting apparatus for casting by alternately using two molds.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional casting machine, after pouring molten metal into one die in a molten metal pouring space, waiting for the molten metal in the die to solidify on the spot, the solidification is completed. After that, remove the mold from the casting machine, then load the mold into the molten metal pouring space, clean the mold in preparation for the next molten metal pouring, set the core, then clamp the mold, Perform molten metal pouring.

[0003]

Therefore, the casting machine waits until the next time the molten metal is poured into the mold until the molten metal is poured into the mold. However, there is a problem in that the operating efficiency is low, and as a result, the production efficiency of cast products is low.

An object of the present invention is to provide a type 2 alternating casting apparatus capable of improving the operating efficiency of a casting machine and improving the production efficiency of cast products.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a type 2 alternating casting apparatus according to claim 1 comprises a casting machine and two molds configured to receive molten metal from the casting machine. Is arranged in the molten metal pouring space of the casting machine alternately, and a disposing means provided in the casting machine.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the type 2 alternating casting apparatus according to claim 2 is the type 2 alternating casting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the arranging means includes one of the molds for the molten metal pouring space. And the waiting space for solidification,
It is characterized in that the other of the molds comprises a moving means for moving between the molten metal pouring space and the solidification waiting space.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the type 2 alternating casting apparatus according to claim 3 is the type 2 alternating casting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the pre-arrangement means has one of the molds for the molten metal pouring space. When moving to the other of the mold to the other solidification waiting space, when the moving means moves one of the mold to the solidification waiting space,
Control means for controlling the moving means is provided so as to move the other of the molds to the molten metal pouring space.

According to the two-type alternating casting apparatus of the first to third aspects, the arranging means provided in the casting machine inserts two molds configured to receive the molten metal from the casting machine into the casting machine. The molds are placed on the molten metal pouring space after the casting machine pours the molten metal into one of the molds in the molten metal pouring space. On the other hand, the molten metal can be poured, and the casting machine can be efficiently poured without waiting. As a result, the operating efficiency of the casting machine can be improved, and the production efficiency of cast products can be improved.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS.
It will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an embodiment of a type 2 alternating casting apparatus of the present invention.

A worker 2 stands in front of the casting machine indicated by reference numeral 1. The casting machine 1 is provided with a molten metal pouring space 3 near the molten metal port. On both sides of the casting machine 1,
Spaces 4 and 5 waiting for solidification are provided.

The operation of this type 2 alternating casting apparatus will be described below with reference to FIG.
A description will be given with reference to (a) and (b).

In FIG. 1A, first, a mold A is loaded in the molten metal pouring space 3 of the casting machine 1, and the casting machine 1 pours the molten metal into the mold A. Space for waiting for solidification 4
A mold B is placed in the mold, and the molten metal is solidifying inside the mold B.

After pouring of the molten metal into the mold A is completed, the mold A is
During the solidification waiting time, the mold A is moved to the solidification waiting space 5 by the moving unit (not shown), and the mold B where the solidification of the molten metal is completed is moved to the molten metal pouring space 3 by the moving unit (not shown) (Fig. 1 (b)).

Next, the mold B is opened, the cast product is taken out from the mold B by the hand of the operator 2, the mold B is cleaned and the core is set in preparation for the next molten metal pouring. The mold is clamped and the molten metal is poured.

After the molten metal is poured into the mold B, the mold B is moved to the solidification waiting space 4 by a moving unit (not shown) during the solidification waiting time of the mold B. At the same time, the mold A is moved from the waiting space for solidification to the molten metal pouring space 3 as described above (FIG. 1 (a)).

The above steps are repeated.

According to this embodiment, the mobile unit is
Since the two molds A and B configured to receive the molten metal from the casting machine 1 are alternately arranged in the molten metal pouring space 3 of the casting machine 1, the casting machine 1 uses the mold A in the molten metal pouring space 3. After pouring the molten metal into the mold A, the molten metal can be poured into the mold B in the molten metal pouring space 3 by using the waiting time for the solidification of the mold A, and the casting machine 1 can efficiently perform the pouring without waiting. it can. As a result, the operating efficiency of the casting machine 1 can be improved and the production efficiency of cast products can be improved.

[0018]

As described above in detail, according to the two-type alternating casting apparatus of claims 1 to 3, the arranging means provided in the casting machine is configured to receive the molten metal from the casting machine. Since the two molds are placed alternately in the molten metal pouring space of the casting machine, it takes time for the molten metal in one of the molds to solidify after the casting machine pours one of the molds in the molten metal pouring space. The molten metal can be poured into the other mold on the molten metal pouring space, and the casting machine can be efficiently poured without waiting. As a result, the operating efficiency of the casting machine can be improved, and the production efficiency of cast products can be improved.
