Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A machine for casting metals under gas'pressure of a four-column design is provided. It includes an intermediate plate which is disposed between a bottom plate and a movable plate with a metal duct fastened to it. This closes tightly the reservoir for the melt. Fastened by known means to this plate are the fixed part of the casting mould and the housing sealing it, by means of which and of a connecting element of known design and the attachment of the housing to the movable plate a rigid connection between the plate and the transfer cylinder, disposed on the top plate is achieved by means of the piston rod, connected rigidly to the movable plate.
  • This invention relates to amachine for casting metals and alloys under gas pressure, and particularly to a machine in which the displacement of the melt from the reservoir to the casting mould is performed-under the action of gas pressure.
  • the closing system of the machine is used for balancing the'force, resulting from the pressure in the reservoir for the melt.
  • Machines for casting under gas pressure are known, in which the reservoir for the melt is tightened independently by means of a separate cover and connecting elements, dimensioned with regard to the working pressure of the process gas.
  • Access to the the furnace (i.e. to the reservoir for the melt) for carrying out service and repair work is provided by removing the superstructures by tilting or lateral displacement by means of special hydraulic cylinders attached to the machine, or by moving it to the side by means of additional handling equipment.
  • a vertical machine of known four-column design comprising a bottom plate, a movable plate and a top plate, on which a transfer cylinder for moving the movable plate is attached, in which all plates are connected by four columns.
  • the addition is an intermediate plate, which is disposed between the bottom and the movable plate, which is used simutaneously as a tight cover for the reservoir for the melt, as well as for fastening the fixed part of the casting mould and the housing closing it tightly.
  • the sealing of the reservoir for the melt and the balancing of the gas pressure in it are effected by the force of the transfer cylinder or, in the case of great forces, by a special sealing mechanism of known design (e.g.
  • a wedge or a toggle-lever mechanism which is provided for sealing the casting mould.
  • the intermediate plate In order to provide a rigid connection between the bottom plate, the reservoir for the melt and the intermediate plate, which is needed for balancing the force when separating the mould and stripping the casting from its fixed bottom part, the intermediate plate is pressed against the reservoir for the melt by means of a wedge mechanism.
  • the intermediate plate and the movablerplate are coupled to the two halves of the casting mould; to the sealing housing, or are directly coupled. The wedge locking of the intermediate plate to the columns is released, and the intermediate plate,
  • FIG. 1 is a general view of the machine
  • FIG. 2 is a section along AA, according to FIG. 1, showing'the mechanism for locking the intermediate plate to the reservoir for the melt;
  • FIG. 3 is a section along BB, according to FIG. 1, showing the spring damper for lifting and displacing the reservoir for the melt.
  • the reservoir for the melt 3 is disposed between the bottom plate 1 and the intermediate plate 4, and its sealingin each working cycle is effected by the elastic seal 5 and the force of the gas pressure is balanced by the transfer cylinder 11, attached rigidly to the top plate 10 and connected to the movable plate 9 by means of its piston. This force is transmitted from the intermediate plate 4 to the casting mould 7 or the sealing housing 8 respectively, the movable plate 9, the cylinder 11, the fixed plate 10 and to the columns 2.
  • the intermediate plate 4 is pressed against the reservoir for the melt 3 by means of a wedge (locking) mechanism, disposed on the upper surface of the intermediate plate on two opposite columns 2.
  • the wedge mechanism consists of wedges l5, guided in parallel guideways l4, driven progressively by a system of regulable in length rods 16 by means of sleeves l7 and a handle 18, supported on one of the columns 2.
  • the lifting of the reservoir for the melt 3 until its bottom separates from the bottom plate 1 at a heigth a and its pulling out of the machine for carrying out service and repair work is effected by means of four spring dampers with castor wheels, attached to the outer wall of the reservoir for the melt. They consist of the castor wheel 19, supported on an axle on the guide 20, and a cylinder 21, attached rigidly to the reservoir for the melt 3. Disposed in the cylinder is the spring 22, regulated in dependence of the mass of the reservoir for the melt by means of a disk 23 and a screw 24.
  • the transfer cylinder 11 By means of the transfer cylinder 11 the movable plate 9 is displaced in its bottom position, in which both halves of the casting mould 7 or the housing 8 sealing it, respectively, come into contact.
  • the handle 18 of the locking mechanism is turned to the unlocked position and the wedges are pulled out of the grooves in the columns 2 by means of the bars 16.
  • Both halves of the casting mould 7 or the housing 8 sealing it are connected, or the movable plate 9 and the intermediate plate 4 are connected directly by means of a connecting element 6 of known design, and by the back stroke of the transfer cylinder 11 the movable plate 9, casting mould 7 and intermediate plate 4 with the metal duct 12 fastened to it, are lifted to their top position.
  • the lower end of the metal duct 12 stops at 40-50 mm above the jointing plane of the reservoir for the melt 3,
