In this case, the driving cylinder 810 may be automatically controlled by a temperature sensor (not shown) or a timer (not shown) installed on one side of the mold 200.

On the other hand, the gas (gas) generated during the melt filling process during die casting is inevitable, and the residual bubbles generated in the molten state remain in the product (M) in a void state to reduce the quality of the product (M). In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to forcibly suck the bubble to the outside of the mold 200 by using a vacuum device, the die casting mold apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is the upper holder 300 and Chill vents 900 are provided outside the joining surface of the lower holder 400, and a plurality of vacuum pipes 940 connected to one side of the chill vents 900 are provided in the lower mold 220. Connected from), the other side of the chill vent 900 is provided with a vacuum pump (not shown).

At this time, the plurality of vacuum pipes 940 connected to the cavity 221 is preferably connected at equal intervals along the circumference of the cavity 221, the recessed portion 941 is concave at the tip of the vacuum pipe 940 In the process of forming a molten metal from the cavity 221 to the recessed portion 941, it is preferable to allow impurities mixed in the molten metal to remain in the recessed portion 941.

In addition, the length of the vacuum pipe 940 is preferably secured sufficiently so that the melt flowing along the vacuum pipe 940 toward the chill vent 900 can be sufficiently cooled. Thus, as shown in FIG. When the distance between the 941 and the chill vent 900 is short, it is preferable that a plurality of bent portions are formed in the vacuum pipe 940 so that the overall length becomes long.

Meanwhile, those skilled in the art may form the chill vent 900 integrally without being divided into the upper chill vent 910 and the lower chill vent 920, and the upper chill vent 910 may also be formed. It is also possible to combine the lower chill vent 920 first and then to the upper mold 210 or the lower mold 220.

In this case, the injection of the molten metal may also be performed by gravity, and the molten metal may be injected by an operation of an injection cylinder (not shown) having a piston (not shown) that connects a sleeve (not shown) to the molten metal and moves up and down within the sleeve. It is possible.

The molten metal injected into the cavities 211 and 221 first fills the cavity 221 of the lower mold. The molten metal flows to the chill vent 900 along the vacuum pipe 940 by the operation of the vacuum pump. In this process, impurities in the molten metal remain in the recess 941 formed at the tip of the vacuum pipe 940, and bubbles are discharged to the outside of the mold 200 through the chill vent 900, and the chill vent 900. The molten metal flowing along the flow path 930 is stopped while increasing in viscosity while rapidly cooling.

On the other hand, in the filling and solidification process of the molten metal injected into the cavity (211,221) by the heating wire or preheated hot water or oil (oil), by supplying heat to the mold 200 along the heating line 600 inside the cavity (211,221) By reducing the temperature difference of the product can prevent the occurrence of defects, the cooling of the mold 200 and the molten metal is made by a fluid such as cooling water flowing along the cooling line (700).

At this time, the molten metal filled in the cavities (211, 221) by the coil-shaped cooler 240 installed inside the core 230 can be cooled for a sufficient time to improve the cooling efficiency, preheating while passing through the cooler 240 By inducing the cooled water back to the heating line 600, it is possible to improve the productivity by recycling the cooling water in the mold 200.
