Abstract

PURPOSE:To determine not only a mold preparation plan but also the casting condition of a die casting machine within a short period, by mixing a flow detection material with a casting molten metal and detecting the flow direction of said molten metal by color arranging order. CONSTITUTION:When an injection plunger 16 is allowed to advance, a cavity 13 is filled with a casting molten metal 17 and a molten flow detection material 21 is injection in a gate 14 in synchronous relation to the injection plunger to be mixed with the casting molten metal 17 and the resulting mixture flows in the cavity 13 to flow and is solidified at last. When the flow detection material 21 is injected in the gate 14, a cap 35 is rapidly melted to be mixed with the casting molten metal 17 and loses the shape thereof. At this time, the flow detection material 21 is injection in the gate 14 in the arrangement order of while 31, yellow 32, block 33 and green 34, and mixed with the casting molten metal 17 to flow in the cavity 13 and, therefore, the flow direction of the molten metal is cleared by color arrangement. Further, the local state of flow judged by a color mixing state.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there has been no method for detecting the flow of molten metal within a mold, and the only way to do so is to visually detect the external shape of a product after casting. For this reason, it is necessary to modify the mold through trial and error, and to change various casting conditions such as the injection speed and its change pattern for the injection stroke, the injection pressure and its change pattern for the injection stroke, and the time when the molten metal is filled into the groove or cavity. The reality is that the timing of applying high pressure using a pressure booster must be determined repeatedly through trial and error.For this reason, it takes a lot of time to obtain a good product, lowering productivity and increasing costs.

Further, at the same time as the flow detection material 21 is inserted, the casting molten metal 17 is supplied from the hot water supply pipe 19 to the injection sleeve 15. At this time, the injection plunger 16 is at the right dotted line position in FIG.

From this position, stroke S of the injection plunger 16 at low speed.
If I is moved forward, it will be at the solid line position in Figure 1, and the casting molten metal 1
7 fills the injection sleeve 15, and the small diameter plunger 23 contacts the block 25. Subsequently, when the injection plunger 16 is advanced at high speed through a stroke S2, the cavity 13 is filled with the casting molten metal 17. Here, if the total length of the flow detection material 21 is made equal to the stroke S2, the molten flow detection material 21 is injected into the gate 14 in synchronization with the injection plunger 16, mixes with the casting molten metal 17, and flows into the cavity 13. It flows and finally solidifies.

When the flow detection material 21 is injected into the gate 14, the cap 35 comes into contact with the high-temperature casting molten metal 17, rapidly melts, mixes with the casting molten metal 37, and loses its shape. At this time, the flow detection material 21 is arranged in the above-mentioned color arrangement order, and is ejected into the gate 14 in this arrangement order, mixes with the casting molten metal 17, and flows inside the mold cavity 13. Flow direction is determined. Also, the local state of the flow is determined based on the color mixture.

In this way, the direction of flow of the casting molten metal in the mold can be determined by the color arrangement order, and the state of solidification can also be determined. Furthermore, if the gate speed is excessive, the flow is disturbed and the casting molten metal is scattered at the gate exit, so that the flow detection material 21 has no color arrangement and is in a mixed state, which easily indicates poor casting conditions.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the method and device for detecting flow in a mold in pressure casting of the present invention insert flow detecting materials of a plurality of colors into the hole facing the gate of the mold, and Since the injection was made to flow into the gate in synchronization with the advancement of the injection plunger, the direction of flow of the molten metal in the mold could be determined by the order of the colors, and the solidification state could also be determined. As a result, the flow state inside the mold, which was previously impossible to detect, can be easily detected, making it possible to quickly determine mold plans and various casting conditions, increasing productivity and lowering costs. There are advantages. Furthermore, since the process is carried out using an actual product using an actual casting machine such as a die-casting machine, its practical effects are great.
