The present invention relates to a rigid manufacturing apparatus for supplying and filling molten metal with a downward force and a solid manufacturing method using the same.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 軽合金製品等の铸造品、特に強度が必要とされる部品などを铸造する場合、溶湯 铸込時におけるガスの巻込みを防止するため、堅型铸造装置が使用されている。  [0002] When manufacturing a product such as a light alloy product, particularly a component that requires strength, a rigid manufacturing device is used in order to prevent gas from being entrained when the molten metal is charged.
[0003] そして、力かる堅型铸造装置にぉ 、て、酸化物の混入や、ガスの巻込みを防止しな がら、溶湯保持炉カゝら金型キヤビティに溶湯を供給する手段としては、低圧ガスを利 用する事が既に知られている(特開昭 58— 55166号公報参照)。しかしながら、低圧 ガスは溶湯を金型に定量的に供給するには有効である力 単に低圧ガスを使用する だけでは、铸込速度は遅ぐ圧力も低いので、溶湯凝固時に発生するひけ巣の防止 や、薄肉製品に対して充分に対応しうるものではな力つた。また、従来の装置は、装 置本体に固定された溶湯保持炉に大量の溶湯が収容され、装置が大型化していた [0003] Means for supplying the molten metal to the mold holding cavity of the molten metal holding furnace while preventing the entry of oxides and the entrainment of gas in the powerful rigid molding apparatus include: It is already known to use low-pressure gas (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-55166). However, low-pressure gas is a force that is effective for supplying molten metal to the mold quantitatively. The simple use of low-pressure gas slows down the filling speed, and the pressure is low. Also, it was not enough to cope with thin products. In addition, in the conventional apparatus, a large amount of molten metal was stored in a molten metal holding furnace fixed to the apparatus main body, and the apparatus was enlarged.
。さらに、装置本体に固定された溶湯保持炉への溶湯の補充は容易ではなぐまた、 装置本体の流入ゲートの清掃や潤滑のためのスプレー作業が非常に困難であった。 . Further, it is not easy to replenish the molten metal into the molten metal holding furnace fixed to the apparatus main body, and it has been very difficult to perform spray work for cleaning and lubricating the inflow gate of the apparatus main body.
[0004] また、本発明者らの一人は金型キヤビティに溶湯を供給する手段として、浸漬型の 電磁ポンプを用いる方法を発明したが(特開 2003— 266168号公報参照。)、この 装置も高速铸込みに対応するためには電磁ポンプが大きくなつて装置が大型化し実 用化は難しぐその他、溶湯補充の困難性等上記と同様の問題を有していた。  [0004] One of the present inventors has invented a method using an immersion type electromagnetic pump as a means for supplying molten metal to the mold cavity (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-266168). In order to cope with high-speed filling, the size of the electromagnetic pump became large and the device became large, which made it difficult to put into practical use.

In addition, in order to prevent mixing of oxidizing substances and gas entrainment, which may cause defective defects in the manufactured product, and to prevent shrinkage cavities caused by coagulation shrinkage, a sufficient amount of molten metal must be filled with a downward force. It is necessary to replenish the molten metal by effectively pressurizing it.

And work efficiency and ease of maintenance are also very important factors.

They found that they could be made and completed the present invention. Furthermore, if the molten metal in the cavity is filled with the molten metal and the pressure is effectively applied to the molten metal in a closed state by shortening the pressure transmission distance at multiple locations, no shrinkage cavities occur and the oxide film The present inventors have found that it is possible to manufacture a manufactured product without mixing of gas and entrainment of gas, and have completed the present invention.

[0012] 本発明の堅型铸造装置としては、金型キヤビティを形成することができる下側の固 定金型及び上側の可動金型、固定金型に形成された溶湯流入ゲートを塞ぐ閉塞手 段、並びに閉塞された金型キヤビティ内の溶湯を加圧する加圧手段を有する装置本 体と、前記金型キヤビティ内へ溶湯を下方力 供給充填する铸込手段とを備えた竪 型铸造装置であって、前記铸込手段が、前記装置本体に装脱着可能なガス加圧注 湯鍋を有していれば特に制限されるものではなぐ本発明の堅型铸造装置は作業効 率がよくメンテナンスの容易な設備費の安い堅型铸造装置であるとと共に、本発明の 堅型铸造装置を用いると、凝固時にひけ巣の発生がなくかつガスの巻込みのない铸 造品、特に薄肉で大型の铸造品を好適に铸造することができる。そして、かかる铸造 品としては特に限定されるものではないが、軽金属合金、特に凝固収縮が大きいァ ルミ-ゥム合金が好ましい。アルミニウムは凝固するとき約 7%収縮することから、ひけ 巣の発生を防止しうる本発明の铸造装置ゃ铸造方法は、アルミニウム合金等の凝固 収縮が大きい軽金属合金からなる溶湯から、特に薄肉で大型の铸造品を铸造する場 合に、特に有利に適用することができる。  [0012] As a rigid mold manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, a closing means for closing a molten metal inflow gate formed in a lower fixed mold, an upper movable mold, and a fixed mold capable of forming mold cavities. And a vertical body having a pressurizing means for pressurizing the molten metal in the closed mold cavity, and a filling means for supplying and filling the molten metal into the mold cavity with a downward force. There is no particular limitation as long as the charging means has a gas pressurized hot water pot that can be attached to and detached from the apparatus main body. The rigid manufacturing apparatus of the present invention has a high working efficiency and is easy to maintain. In addition to a rigid manufacturing device with low equipment cost, the rigid manufacturing device of the present invention can be used to produce a product having no shrinkage cavities and no entrainment of gas at the time of solidification, particularly a thin and large-sized product. Can be suitably manufactured. Such a product is not particularly limited, but a light metal alloy, particularly an aluminum alloy having a large solidification shrinkage is preferable. Since aluminum shrinks by about 7% when it solidifies, the method of the present invention, which can prevent the occurrence of shrinkage cavities, is based on a melt made of a light metal alloy with a large solidification shrinkage such as an aluminum alloy. It can be applied particularly advantageously when manufacturing the above-mentioned structure.
[0013] 前記铸込み手段におけるガス加圧注湯鍋としては、ガス加圧が可能な注湯鍋であ つて、装置本体に装脱着可能な注湯鍋であれば特に制限されるものではなぐ前記 ガス加圧のためにガス加圧注湯鍋を密閉構造とする必要がある力 例えば、上方が 開放されたガス加圧注湯鍋に蓋を設けて密閉構造とすることもできるが、装置本体に 装着することにより密閉構造を形成することが好ましい。装置本体に装着することによ り密閉構造を形成する構成としては、ガス加圧注湯鍋が铸込ストークを備えて 、る場 合には、铸込ストーク上端部を装置本体に密着させて密閉構造を形成することがで き、具体的に、例えばストークの上面を金型のゲート入口の下面に押し付けて密閉構 造を形成することができる。また、装置本体が铸込ストークを備えている場合には、ガ ス加圧注湯鍋の上端部を装置本体に密着させて密閉構造を形成することができ、具 体的に、例えばガス加圧注湯鍋の上面を固定盤下面に押し付けて密閉構造を形成 したり、固定金型の固定盤の下部に設けられたシールパッキンに押し込んで密閉構 造を形成したりすることができる。このとき、ガス加圧注湯鍋の上部を下部に比して小 さくして、装置本体に密封しやす ヽ形状とすることが好まし ヽ。 [0013] The gas pressurized pouring pot in the filling means is a pouring pot capable of gas pressurization, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a pouring pot that can be attached to and detached from the apparatus main body. For example, a gas-pressure pouring pot needs to be closed.For example, a gas-pressurized pouring pot with an open top can be closed to provide a closed structure. Is preferably formed. As a configuration in which a closed structure is formed by being attached to the apparatus main body, the gas pressurized hot pot has a built-in stalk. Specifically, for example, the upper surface of the stalk is pressed against the lower surface of the gate entrance of the mold to form a closed structure. Structure can be formed. Further, when the apparatus main body is provided with a built-in stalk, the upper end of the gas pressure pouring pan can be brought into close contact with the apparatus main body to form a hermetically sealed structure. The upper surface of the fixing plate can be pressed against the lower surface of the fixed plate to form a hermetic structure, or can be pressed into a seal packing provided at the lower portion of the fixed plate of the fixed die to form a hermetic structure. At this time, it is preferable that the upper part of the gas pressurized hot pot is made smaller than the lower part so as to be easily sealed to the apparatus body.
[0014] このように装置本体に装脱着可能なガス加圧注湯鍋を用いることにより、脱着した( 取り外した)ガス加圧注湯鍋の上方(開放部)力ゝら溶湯を例えば給湯ラドルを用いて 導入することができるので、非常に容易に溶湯の補充を行なうことができる。また、ガ ス加圧注湯鍋を脱着して、装置本体の流入ゲートの清掃や潤滑のためのスプレー作 業を行なうことができるので非常にメンテナンスを行 、やす 、。 [0014] By using a gas pressure pouring pot that can be attached to and detached from the apparatus main body as described above, the molten metal above the (removed) gas pressure pouring pot (open portion) is introduced using, for example, a hot water supply ladle. Therefore, the molten metal can be replenished very easily. In addition, the gas pressure pouring pot can be attached and detached, and spraying work can be performed for cleaning and lubrication of the inflow gate of the main body of the apparatus, so maintenance is very easy and easy.
[0015] また、ガス加圧注湯鍋は、その下部に設けられた開口に連通した溶湯供給管 (溶湯 供給通路)を備えていてもよぐその場合、該溶湯供給管の給湯口には、ガス加圧に 耐えうるシール力をもった開閉可能な給湯口蓋が設けられる。ここで、開口が設けら れるガス加圧注湯鍋の下部とは、(充満時の)溶湯鍋内の溶湯の湯面より下方の部 位を意味し、より効率的に溶湯を铸込むことができ、及び Z又はストーク力もより効率 的に溶湯を落下させることができることから、铸込みストーク下端の下方の部位である ことが好ましい。この場合、給湯時にガス加圧溶湯鍋を脱着して移動する必要は必 ずしもないが、脱着して給湯する場合、その移動距離を短縮することができ、より効率 的に作業を行うことができる。 [0015] Further, the gas pressure pouring pot may include a molten metal supply pipe (a molten metal supply passage) communicating with an opening provided at a lower portion thereof. In this case, a gas supply port of the molten metal supply pipe is provided with a gas supply port. An openable and closable hot water supply lid with a sealing force that can withstand pressure is provided. Here, the lower part of the gas pressure pouring pot in which the opening is provided means a position below the level of the molten metal in the molten metal pot (when filled), and the molten metal can be poured more efficiently. , And Z or the Stoke force can drop the molten metal more efficiently, and therefore, it is preferable that the portion is located below the lower end of the embedded Stoke. In this case, it is not necessary to remove and move the gas pressurized molten pot when supplying hot water, but when removing and supplying hot water, the moving distance can be shortened and work can be performed more efficiently. Can be.
[0016] 力かるガス加圧注湯鍋は、加熱手段を備えていることが好ましぐこれにより、凝固 層の発生を抑制し、湯廻りが良好で铸造製品の不良発生を極力抑制することが可能 となる。 [0016] It is preferable that a powerful gas pressure pouring pan is provided with a heating means, so that the generation of a solidified layer can be suppressed, and the flow of the hot water is good, and the occurrence of defective products can be suppressed as much as possible. It becomes.
[0017] また、ガス加圧注湯鍋の容量としては、装置大型化の防止やガス加圧注湯鍋の搬 送の容易さの点から、例えば 1〜3回の铸込みに必要な溶湯を収容可能な容量であ ることが好ましぐ 1回の铸込みに必要な溶湯を収容可能な容量であることがより好ま しい。 1回の铸込みに必要な溶湯を収容可能な容量とすることにより、各铸込み時の 注湯鍋内の溶湯量が常に一定なので圧力補正を行う必要がなぐより簡便に連続し て充填を行うことができると共に、酸ィ匕物の混入やガスの巻き込みを抑制して安定し た運転が可能となる。すなわち、複数回分の容量の場合には、各铸込み時の液面レ ベルが異なり、圧力の微妙な調整を行なう必要があるが、 1回の铸込みに必要な溶 湯を収容可能な容量とすることにより、このような微妙な調整を行なう必要がない。 [0017] Further, the capacity of the gas pressurized hot pot is, for example, from the viewpoint of preventing the apparatus from being enlarged and the ease of transporting the gas pressurized hot pot, for example, so that the molten metal required for filling once to three times can be accommodated. It is more preferable that the capacity is sufficient to accommodate the molten metal necessary for one filling. By setting the capacity to accommodate the molten metal necessary for one pouring, the amount of molten metal in the pouring pot at each pouring is always constant, so that it is easier to continuously In addition to the above, filling can be performed, and the operation can be stably performed by suppressing the mixing of oxidizing substances and entrainment of gas. In other words, in the case of multiple volumes, the liquid level at each filling is different, and it is necessary to make fine adjustments to the pressure.However, the capacity that can accommodate the molten metal required for one filling By doing so, there is no need to make such fine adjustments.
[0018] また、このようなガス加圧注湯鍋の小型化は、湯面を高くしてガス部の体積を小さく できるのでガス圧の高圧化を可能にし、また、金型キヤビティへの定量的な溶湯の供 給や供給速度の高速化及びショットタイムラグの短縮化を可能とし、高品質な铸造ゃ 薄肉で大型の铸造品の铸造が可能となる。さらに、このような注湯鍋を用いることによ り、生産サイクルタイムが短くなるので、生産性も向上する。  [0018] In addition, the downsizing of such a gas pressurized pouring pot enables the gas pressure to be increased because the volume of the gas portion can be reduced by increasing the level of the molten metal. It enables high-speed supply of molten metal, high supply speed, and reduction of shot time lag, and enables high-quality structure, thin-walled, large-sized structure to be manufactured. Further, by using such a pouring pot, the production cycle time is shortened, so that the productivity is also improved.
[0019] また、铸込手段は、前記ガス加圧注湯鍋に加えて、金型キヤビティ内のガスを真空 吸引してガス加圧注湯鍋の溶湯を真空吸引充填する真空吸引機構を有することが 好ましい。これにより、金型キヤビティへの溶湯の高速充填を可能とすると共に、金型 キヤビティ内のガスを排出しガスの巻込みを防止することができる。なお、この真空吸 引は、後述するガス排出通路を通じて行なうことができる。  Further, it is preferable that the filling means has, in addition to the gas pressure pouring pot, a vacuum suction mechanism for vacuum suctioning the gas in the mold cavity to vacuum-fill the molten metal in the gas pressure pouring pot. Thus, the mold cavity can be filled with the molten metal at a high speed, and the gas in the mold cavity can be discharged to prevent the entrapment of the gas. This vacuum suction can be performed through a gas discharge passage described later.
[0020] 上記金型キヤビティとしては、薄肉で大型の铸造品を铸造することができる金型キ ャビティが好ましぐキヤビティ製品部とキヤビティ湯溜部を備え、該キヤビティ湯溜部 が溶湯流入ゲートの上方に位置するキヤビティ第 1湯溜部と、前記キヤビティ製品部 のキヤビティ第 1湯溜部と反対側の端部近傍上方に位置する 1又は 2以上のキヤビテ ィ第 2湯溜部からなるものがより好ましい。そして、キヤビティ製品部とキヤビティ第 1 湯溜部とはサイドゲートを介して連通し、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部はキヤビティ第 2湯溜 部に比べて、より大き 、容積を有して 、るものが好ま 、。  [0020] The mold cavity includes a cavity product section and a cavity section, which are preferable for a mold cavity capable of producing a thin and large-sized product, and the cavity section is provided with a molten metal inflow gate. And a first or second cavity second reservoir located above the vicinity of the end of the cavity product part opposite to the first cavity. Is more preferred. The cavity product section and the first cavity section are communicated via a side gate, and the first cavity section has a larger size and volume than the second cavity section. Is preferred,.
[0021] 下側固定金型には、下方の注湯鍋力 溶湯を充填供給するための铸込用ストーク とキヤビティ第 1湯溜部との連通部が形成され、該連通部には溶湯流入ゲートが設け られている。力かる溶湯流入ゲートの形状としては特に制限されないが、加工の容易 さ等力 して通常断面が円形の形状が好ましぐこの場合、円形溶湯流入ゲートの内 径はストークの内径よりも小さくなるように構成しておくことが好ま 、。このように構成 しておくことにより、下方から充填供給されてくる溶湯をキヤビティ第 1湯溜部内へ噴 出させることができ、後述するように、铸造製品不良の一因となるストーク内に注湯さ れた溶湯表面にある酸ィ匕膜ゃストークの内面で冷却され発生するチル層(凝固層) の製品への混入を防止することができる。 [0021] The lower fixed mold is provided with a communicating portion between a lower pouring pot force and a filling stalk for filling and supplying the molten metal and the first reservoir portion of the cavity, and a molten metal inflow gate is provided in the communicating portion. Is provided. The shape of the powerful molten metal inflow gate is not particularly limited.However, the shape of the circular molten metal inflow gate is preferably smaller than the inner diameter of the stalk in such a case that the shape of the circular molten metal inflow gate is preferred because of the ease of processing and the like. It is preferable to configure as follows. With this configuration, the molten metal that is filled and supplied from below can be ejected into the first cavity of the cavity, and as described later, the molten metal is injected into the stalk, which contributes to the failure of the manufactured product. Hot water It is possible to prevent a chill layer (solidified layer) generated by cooling on the inner surface of the oxidized film ゃ stalk on the surface of the molten metal from being mixed into the product.
[0022] 固定金型に形成された溶湯流入ゲートを塞ぐ閉塞手段としては、溶湯流入ゲートを 閉塞しうる機構を備えているものであればどのようなものでもよぐたとえば円形溶湯 流入ゲートを開閉することができる該ゲート上方に配設される閉塞ピンを具体的に挙 げることができ、この場合、該閉塞ピンの円形溶湯流入ゲートへの挿入部の直径を円 形溶湯流入ゲート内径よりもわずかに小さくしておくことが閉塞密封性の点で好まし い。この閉塞ピンは可動金型に対して液密的に摺動自在に進退出することができる ように保持することが好ましぐまた、後述するように、加圧ステムが可動金型に対して 液密的に摺動自在に保持される場合は、該加圧ステムの中心に同軸かつ液密的に 摺動自在に閉塞ピンを設けることもできる。  The closing means for closing the molten metal inflow gate formed in the fixed mold may be any means provided with a mechanism capable of closing the molten metal inflow gate. For example, a circular molten metal inflow gate may be opened and closed. Specific examples of the closing pin that can be disposed above the gate can be given. In this case, the diameter of the insertion portion of the closing pin into the circular molten metal inflow gate is determined by the inner diameter of the circular molten metal inflow gate. However, it is preferable to make them slightly smaller in terms of the sealing performance. It is preferable that the closing pin is held so as to be able to advance and retreat slidably in a liquid-tight manner with respect to the movable mold. When held slidably in a liquid-tight manner, a closing pin may be provided coaxially and slidably in a liquid-tight manner at the center of the pressure stem.
[0023] 上述のように、加圧ステムおよび閉塞ピンが円形溶湯流入ゲート上方の可動金型 に配設される場合、これらを退出(上昇)させた状態で形成される円形のキヤビティ第 1湯溜部の入口の直径を円径溶湯流入ゲートの直径の 1. 4倍よりも大きくし、加圧ス テムおよび閉塞ピンの退出上限時における湯溜部の天井の高さを前述した円形溶 湯流入ゲートから噴出する溶湯噴流の高さよりも 10mm以上高くなるように、キヤビテ ィ第 1湯溜部を構成することが好ましい。このように湯溜部の入口の直径を円形ゲー ト直径の 1. 4倍以上とした場合、溶湯噴流の高さ hは、近似的に円形ゲートにおける 溶湯の通過速度を v、重力の加速度を gとしたとき、 h=v2Z2gの計算式により求める ことができるので、一般的な範囲で铸込速度を早い速度の v= 2. OmZsecとしたとき 、 噴流高さ h= 2. 02/2g = 0. 204mm となる。 [0023] As described above, when the pressurizing stem and the closing pin are provided in the movable mold above the circular molten metal inflow gate, the circular cavity first molten metal formed in a state where they are withdrawn (elevated). The diameter of the inlet of the reservoir is larger than 1.4 times the diameter of the circular molten metal inflow gate, and the height of the ceiling of the reservoir at the upper limit of the exit of the pressurizing system and the closing pin is the circular molten metal described above. It is preferable to configure the first cavity in the cavity so as to be at least 10 mm higher than the height of the molten metal jet spouted from the inflow gate. If the diameter of the inlet of the basin is 1.4 times or more the diameter of the circular gate, the height h of the molten metal jet will approximately be the velocity of the molten metal passing through the circular gate v and the acceleration of gravity when the g, h = v 2 because it can be determined by Z2g formula, when a faster rate of v = 2. OmZsec the铸込rate in the general range, ejection height h = 2. 0 2 / 2g = 0.204mm.
[0024] 即ち、天井高さを 204+ 10 = 214mmにしておけば噴流が天井に衝突することなく 、自由表面を形成し、溶湯表面の酸ィ匕膜が逆流することなく閉じこめられ、また、衝突 によるガスの巻込みも防止できる。  [0024] That is, if the ceiling height is set to 204 + 10 = 214mm, the jet does not collide with the ceiling, forms a free surface, and the oxidized film on the surface of the molten metal is confined without flowing back. Gas entrainment due to collision can also be prevented.
[0025] 例えば、溶湯の注湯 ·充填速度は製品の形状によっても異なるが、一般的に円形 ゲート内の最初の通過速度は 1. 0〜2. 4mZsecが好ましぐその場合円形ゲートか らの噴流高さは通常 50〜300mm位になる力 キヤビティ第 1湯溜部の天井の高さ が溶湯噴流の高さよりも 10mm以上も高くなつている場合、自由表面が形成され、湯 面に残っていた酸ィ匕膜も表面に残り、そして上記湯溜部の上部に残っているガスも 封じ込められたままで下降流とはならず、更にガスは加圧ステムの外周の空隙力 真 空で排出されるので溶湯にガスを巻込むこともない。他方、噴流速度が遅いと天井に 衝突することもなぐガスの巻込みはなくなるが、铸込時間が長くなり、溶湯がキヤビテ ィ製品部内を流れる速度が遅くなり、その間に冷却凝固が進み、抵抗が増加し、流 速が一層低下してキヤビティ製品部内への溶湯の充填が不充分となり、加圧しても 圧力伝達が悪くひけ巣の発生の可能性が大きくなる。従って、溶湯が第 1湯溜部を 充満し、製品部に入り始めると、铸込速度はできるだけ早くなるように注湯鍋内のガス 圧を上昇させ、铸込速度を調整することが好ましい。この時点においては第 1湯溜部 には溶湯が充満しており、これが抵抗となって流入ゲートの流れがその天井に残った 酸化膜やガスを巻き込むことはな ヽ。 [0025] For example, the pouring speed and filling speed of the molten metal vary depending on the shape of the product, but generally the initial passing speed in the circular gate is preferably 1.0 to 2.4 mZsec. If the height of the ceiling of the first reservoir is more than 10 mm higher than the height of the molten metal jet, a free surface is formed, The oxidizing film remaining on the surface also remains on the surface, and the gas remaining on the upper part of the basin does not become a downward flow while being trapped, and the gas is further removed by the void force around the pressurizing stem. Since the gas is discharged in the sky, no gas is involved in the molten metal. On the other hand, if the jet velocity is low, gas entrapment that will not collide with the ceiling will be eliminated, but the injection time will be long, the speed at which the molten metal will flow through the cavity part will be slow, and during that time cooling and solidification will proceed, and And the flow velocity is further reduced, the filling of the molten metal into the cavity product becomes insufficient, and even if pressurized, the pressure transmission is poor and the possibility of the occurrence of sinkholes increases. Therefore, when the molten metal fills the first basin and starts to enter the product section, it is preferable to increase the gas pressure in the pouring pot so as to increase the pouring speed as fast as possible and to adjust the pouring speed. At this point, the first reservoir is filled with the molten metal, which acts as a resistance and the flow of the inflow gate does not involve the oxide film or gas remaining on the ceiling.
[0026] 高圧ガスにより溶湯を供給する場合には、铸込速度が早くなりキヤビティ内におけ る溶湯の冷却凝固が少なぐその駆動力によって抵抗の大きいキヤビティ製品部の 狭い所への溶湯の充填も可能になるが、仮に充填が不充分な場合が生じたとしても 、その体積は小さく加圧ステム等の充分な加圧により補充充填できるので問題はな ヽ  [0026] When the molten metal is supplied by high-pressure gas, the filling speed is increased and the cooling and solidification of the molten metal in the cavity is reduced. However, even if the filling is insufficient, there is no problem because the volume is small and the filling can be performed by sufficient pressurization with a pressurizing stem or the like.
[0027] 以上のようにキヤビティ内にキヤビティ第 1湯溜部を形成することにより、閉塞ピンや 加圧ステムを進出(下降)させる場合に、湯溜部の最上部に存在する酸化膜やガス 巻込み層は押出されることなくキヤビティ第 1湯溜部の上端に滞留し、キヤビティ製品 部に混入することがない。また、注湯鍋を用いた铸込みの場合、ストークの注湯口は 注湯鍋の湯面の下に入っており、湯面で発生した酸ィ匕膜は湯面に浮いていることか ら、ストークに入ることはない。ストーク内湯面のわずかな酸ィ匕膜は噴流の先端にあつ てキヤビティ第 1湯溜部に全部飛び込み、サイドゲートを介してキヤビティ製品部の 方に流出することはなぐ铸造製品に酸ィ匕膜が混入することはなくなり、このため铸造 製品の不良、強度のばらつきはなくなることになる。 [0027] By forming the cavity first reservoir in the cavity as described above, when the closing pin or the pressurizing stem is advanced (downward), the oxide film or gas existing at the uppermost portion of the reservoir is formed. The wound layer stays at the upper end of the first cavity of the cavity without being extruded, and does not enter the cavity product section. In addition, in the case of pouring using a pouring pot, the pouring port of Stoke is below the surface of the pouring pot, and the oxidized film generated on the pouring surface floats on the pouring surface. Never enter. The slight oxidized film on the surface of the molten metal in Stoke enters the first reservoir in the cavity at the tip of the jet, and flows out to the cavity product section through the side gate. Will not be mixed, and therefore, there will be no defective products and no variation in strength.
[0028] 次に、閉塞された金型キヤビティ内に充填されている溶湯を加圧することにより、凝 固時にひけ巣の発生しない、し力も噴流によるガスの巻き込みのない铸造品を铸造 することができる。閉塞された金型キヤビティ内の溶湯を加圧するための加圧手段と しては、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部の上方の可動金型に摺動自在に設けられ、その中心 に閉塞ピンを摺動自在に設けている前記加圧ステムや、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部とはキ ャビティ製品部を介して離れた位置にある前記キヤビティ第 2湯溜部の上方の可動 金型に摺動自在に配設された加圧ピンを具体的に例示することができる。加圧ピン は複数設けることが好ましく。またその直径は、キヤビティ第 2湯溜部の深さの 2Z3〜 1倍が好ましい。さらに、これら加圧ステムと加圧ピンは併用することが好ましい。この ように、離れた位置にある加圧ステムと複数の加圧ピンとから溶湯を加圧することによ つて、キヤビティ内の溶湯への圧力伝達距離を短くすることにより、キヤビティ製品部 に均一に圧力を伝えることができ、小さい加圧圧力で凝固時にひけ巣の発生しない 铸造品を铸造することが可能となる。また、加圧ステムおよび加圧ピンを製品の形態 に応じて適当な位置に配置することによって、キヤビティ製品部の溶湯の圧力伝達 距離をさらに短くし、圧力伝達をより均一かつ充分なものとすると、より小さな加圧圧 力でひけ巣の発生を防止することができる。 [0028] Next, by pressurizing the molten metal filled in the closed mold cavity, it is possible to produce a product in which shrinkage cavities do not occur at the time of solidification and in which gas is not entrained by a jet flow. it can. Pressurizing means for pressurizing the molten metal in the closed mold cavity; The pressurizing stem, which is slidably provided on the movable mold above the first cavity of the cavity and the closing pin is slidably provided at the center thereof, and the first reservoir of the cavity. A concrete example is a pressure pin slidably disposed on a movable mold above the second cavity of the cavity located at a position separated via the cavity product section. It is preferable to provide a plurality of pressure pins. The diameter is preferably 2Z3 to 1 times the depth of the second cavity. Further, it is preferable to use these pressure stems and pressure pins together. In this way, by pressing the molten metal from the pressure stem and the plurality of pressure pins located at separate positions, the pressure transmission distance to the molten metal in the cavity is shortened, and the pressure is uniformly applied to the cavity product part. It is possible to produce a product without shrinkage cavities during coagulation with a small pressurizing pressure. Also, by arranging the pressure stem and the pressure pin at appropriate positions according to the form of the product, the pressure transmission distance of the molten metal in the cavity product part can be further shortened, and the pressure transmission can be made more uniform and sufficient. In addition, shrinkage nests can be prevented with a smaller pressure.
従来の铸造装置においては、一般に、凝固時にひけ巣の発生しない铸造品を铸 造するため、加圧手段による溶湯の加圧速度を大きくし、かつ急速に加圧することが 行われているが、この場合、圧力伝達が良すぎて型開き力が大きくなりバリを吹き、型 締カも大きくする必要がある。しかし、反対に加圧速度を遅くすると、溶湯の凝固収 縮に追いつかず、ひけ巣が発生することになる。他方、本発明によると、バリ吹きを防 止しうる小さ 、型締力でも均一かつ充分な圧力伝達を行うことができるので、小さな 加圧圧力で凝固時にひけ巣の発生しない铸造品を铸造することができる。このように 本発明にお 、ては、加圧時の加圧ステムや加圧ピンの進出速度をキヤビティ製品部 内の溶湯の凝固収縮速度に適応した速度になるようにプログラム制御を行う等、加圧 速度を調節することにより、小さい型締力のプレス装置でバリ吹きを防止しながらひけ 巣の発生を防止することができ、例えば、パスカルの原理が働かない凝固収縮中の 溶湯に対する加圧力及び加圧速度を、バリの吹かない範囲で凝固速度に応じて制 御することによって、従来の高圧法に比較して 1Z3〜1Z5の小さい型締力の装置 で、酸化膜、凝固層の混入やガスの巻込みのない緻密な組織の铸造品を得ることが できる。 [0030] また、スクイズ铸造等の竪型铸造法の場合、アキュラッドピン (センターピン)による 加圧を早くすると铸込みプランジャを押し下げることになるので、少し時間を遅らせて 、すなわちゲート部の凝固が進み、铸込みプランジャーへの圧力伝達が小さくなつて から加圧するので、その間にキヤビティ内の溶湯の凝固も進行し、溶湯補充には大き い圧力を必要とし、場合によってはそのタイミングが合わず、ひけ巣が発生することが あるが、これに対して、本発明においては、溶湯流入ゲートの閉塞手段を備えている ので、ゲート閉塞直後のまだ凝固の進行の少ない段階力 加圧して溶湯を補充充填 することができ、また、加圧ステムと所定の位置に配設した複数の加圧ピンによって 加圧するので圧力伝達距離は短ぐ小さい圧力で均一かつ充分な補充充填を行うこ とができる。このように加圧圧力を低圧とすることができる結果、金型の型締カも小さく て済み、型締装置や金型のコストを低廉に抑えることができる。またこの铸込速度は 及び加圧開始速度がスクイズ铸造よりも早ぐ薄肉铸造も可能になり、また、溶湯の金 型表面との接触維持で良好な熱伝達を保ち、冷却時間も短ぐ結晶も小さぐ品質が 向上、生産サイクルタイム短くなり、生産性も向上する。 In a conventional manufacturing apparatus, generally, in order to manufacture a product in which shrinkage cavities do not occur at the time of solidification, the pressurizing speed of the molten metal by the pressurizing means is increased and pressurized rapidly. In this case, the pressure transmission is too good, the mold opening force becomes large and burrs are blown, and it is necessary to increase the mold clamping force. However, if the pressurizing speed is reduced, on the other hand, shrinkage cavities will be generated because of the inability to catch up with the solidification and shrinkage of the molten metal. On the other hand, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform uniform and sufficient pressure transmission even with a mold clamping force, which is small enough to prevent burr blowing, so that a molded product which does not generate shrinkage cavities during coagulation with a small pressurizing pressure is manufactured. be able to. As described above, in the present invention, program control is performed such that the advance speed of the pressurizing stem or the pressurizing pin at the time of pressurization becomes a speed adapted to the solidification shrinkage speed of the molten metal in the cavity product section. By adjusting the pressurizing speed, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of sink cavities while preventing burr blowing with a press device with a small mold clamping force.For example, the pressure applied to molten metal during solidification shrinkage where Pascal's principle does not work By controlling the pressurization rate and the pressurization rate in accordance with the solidification rate within a range where burrs are not blown, the oxide film and solidified layer can be mixed with a device with a smaller clamping force of 1Z3 to 1Z5 compared to the conventional high-pressure method. It is possible to obtain a product with a dense structure without gas or entrainment of gas. [0030] In the case of a vertical squeezing method such as squeeze squeezing, if pressurization by the accurac- ing pin (center pin) is accelerated, the plunging plunger is depressed. As the pressure increases after the pressure transmission to the plunger decreases, the solidification of the molten metal in the cavity also progresses during that time, and a large pressure is required to replenish the molten metal. In contrast, in the present invention, since the means for closing the molten metal inflow gate is provided, a step force immediately after the closing of the gate, where solidification is still small, is applied. The pressure transmission distance is short and uniform with a small pressure because pressure is applied by the pressure stem and a plurality of pressure pins arranged at predetermined positions. One can and the child that is responsible for sufficient replenishment filling. As a result, the pressurizing pressure can be reduced, so that the mold clamping force of the mold can be reduced and the cost of the mold clamping device and the mold can be reduced. In addition, the casting speed and the pressure start speed can be made thinner, which is faster than the squeeze casting. In addition, the crystal maintains a good heat transfer by maintaining the contact of the molten metal with the mold surface and has a short cooling time. The smaller the size, the higher the quality, the shorter the production cycle time, and the higher the productivity.
[0031] また、本発明の堅型铸造装置においては、金型キヤビティ内への溶湯充填時にキ ャビティ内に存在するガスを排出することができるガス排出通路と、該ガス排出通路 に連通した溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙を有するものが好ましい。ガス排出通路としては、 可動金型中を貫通しているガス排出孔と、ガス排出空隙とから構成されているものが 好ましい。溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙は、ガス排出通路の近傍に設けることが好ましぐ 特に加圧手段に近接していることが好ましい。力かる溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙としては 、例えばキヤビティ内のガスをガス排出通路力も排出した後に、溶湯凝固ゾーンとな る空隙で先湯を凝固させることができ、前記閉塞手段と相俟って、簡単にキヤビティ 内を密封'閉塞することができる空隙であればどのようなものでもよぐ力かる溶湯凝 固ゾーン用空隙を単に設けておくだけで、エアベントバルブやフィルタ一等を配設し かつ複雑な切替弁やバルブを用いることなぐ簡単にキヤビティ内を密封 ·閉塞する ことができ、また铸造装置の稼働に際して圧力調節等の複雑な操作も不要となり、さ らに故障等の発生がないことから、本発明の铸造装置は極めて実用的であると言え る。また、ストーク上面と金型下面、あるいは注湯鍋の上面と固定盤下面とのドッキン グ当たり面の面積は小さぐ注湯時加圧ガスが漏れな 、用にする圧力シールは容易 にできる。 [0031] Further, in the rigid molding apparatus of the present invention, a gas discharge passage capable of discharging gas present in the mold cavity when the molten metal is charged into the mold cavity, and a molten metal communicating with the gas discharge passage. Those having voids for the solidification zone are preferred. As the gas discharge passage, a gas discharge passage formed by a gas discharge hole penetrating the movable mold and a gas discharge gap is preferable. The space for the molten metal solidification zone is preferably provided in the vicinity of the gas discharge passage, particularly preferably in the vicinity of the pressurizing means. For example, after the gas in the cavity is discharged also from the gas discharge passage, the hot metal can be solidified in the space serving as the molten metal solidification zone, and in combination with the closing means, Air vent valves, filters, etc. are provided simply by providing a space for the molten metal consolidation zone, which can easily open and close the inside of the cavity. The inside of the cavity can be easily sealed and closed without using complicated switching valves and valves, and complicated operations such as pressure adjustment are not required when operating the forging equipment, and there is no failure. Therefore, it can be said that the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is extremely practical. Docking between the upper surface of the stalk and the lower surface of the mold, or the upper surface of the hot pot and the lower surface of the fixed platen The area of the contact surface is small and the pressurized gas does not leak during pouring, and the pressure seal used can be easily made.
[0032] 具体的に、溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙としては、前記加圧ステム及び Z又は加圧ピン の外周面と可動金型内周面との間に形成されるガス排出空隙を介してガス排出通路 に連通して 、る溶湯凝固ゾーン溶空隙を例示することができ、力かる溶湯凝固ゾーン 用空隙としては、加圧ステム Z又は加圧ピンと同芯に設けられ、加圧ステム及び Z又 は加圧ピンの直径よりも l〜5mm大きい内径で 10〜40mm程度の深さ(長さ)を有 する溶湯凝固ゾーンとなる空隙を具体的に例示することができる。このように、それぞ れの湯溜部の外径を加圧ステム及び加圧ピンの外形よりもわずかに大きくしておくこ とにより、各湯溜部の外周壁に生じた凝固層が加圧ステム Z加圧ピンによって製品 の中に押し込まれることを防止すると共に、加圧ステム及び加圧ピンの加圧抵抗を少 なくすることができる。そして、上記のように、溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙を溶湯の温度や 铸込速度に適合した寸法に設計しておくと、溶湯が充填された時に先湯がこの空隙 部分で冷却凝固しガス排出空隙に侵入することはない。  [0032] Specifically, the gap for the molten metal solidification zone is a gas discharge gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the pressure stem and the Z or the pressure pin and the inner peripheral surface of the movable mold. An example of the molten solidification zone molten space may be in communication with the passage, and the powerful molten solidification zone space may be provided concentrically with the pressure stem Z or the pressure pin, and may be provided with the pressure stem and the Z or Z. A specific example of a gap that is a melt solidification zone having an inner diameter that is 1 to 5 mm larger than the diameter of the pressure pin and has a depth (length) of about 10 to 40 mm can be given. In this way, by making the outer diameter of each of the wells slightly larger than the outer diameters of the pressure stem and the pressure pin, a solidified layer formed on the outer peripheral wall of each well is added. The pressure stem Z can be prevented from being pushed into the product by the pressure pin, and the pressure resistance of the pressure stem and the pressure pin can be reduced. As described above, if the space for the molten metal solidification zone is designed to have dimensions that match the temperature and filling speed of the molten metal, the molten metal is cooled and solidified in this space when the molten metal is filled, and the gas discharge space Do not invade.
[0033] また、上記ガス排出空隙は先湯が流入しない構造や大きさのものが好ましぐ例え ば、ガス排出空隙としては、加圧ステム及び Z又は加圧ピンと同芯に設けられ、加圧 ステム及び Z又は加圧ピンの直径より 0. 4〜1. Omm程度大きい内径のガス排出空 隙を具体的に挙げることができる。そして、金型キヤビティを真空にする際、空気の侵 入を防止するために、パーティング面にはガス排出孔、及びガス排出空隙からなるガ ス排出通路は設けずにできればシールパッキングを設置する力、漏入空気をガス排 出口に連結されたガス排出溝を設け、金型外部からの金型キヤビティへの空気の漏 入を防止する。  [0033] In addition, for example, it is preferable that the gas discharge gap has a structure and a size to which the hot water does not flow. For example, the gas discharge gap is provided concentrically with the pressure stem and the Z or the pressure pin. Specific examples of the gas discharge space having an inner diameter that is larger by about 0.4 to 1. Omm than the diameter of the pressure stem and Z or the pressure pin can be given. In order to prevent air from entering when the mold cavity is evacuated, there should be no gas discharge holes and gas discharge passages consisting of gas discharge gaps on the parting surface, and seal packing should be provided if possible. A gas discharge groove is provided to connect the power and leak air to the gas discharge outlet to prevent air from leaking into the mold cavity from outside the mold.
[0034] ところで、ガス加圧注湯鍋と真空吸引機構との併用による溶湯の铸込み開始速度 を最適値の 1. 0〜2. 4mZsecとすると、加圧ステムや加圧ピンの外周に近接設けら れた溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙やガス排出空隙等の 2段空隙部における空気抵抗が大 きくなるが、加圧ピンの数及び配置を適宜選択することにより、上記溶湯凝固ゾーン 用空隙やガス排出空隙の設置も目的を達成することができる。すなわち、先湯が 2段 空隙の溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙で冷却凝固し、溶湯凝固ゾーン空隙より狭いガス排出 空隙に侵入しない構造に、当業者であれば容易に設計することができる。また、溶湯 凝固ゾーン用空隙で先湯を確実に冷却凝固するために、加圧ステムや加圧ピンに ベリリューム銅など熱伝導の良い材料を用い、その内部を水冷することができる構造 とすることちでさる。 [0034] By the way, assuming that the injection start speed of the molten metal by using the gas pressure pouring pot and the vacuum suction mechanism together is an optimal value of 1.0 to 2.4 mZsec, it is provided close to the outer periphery of the pressure stem or the pressure pin. Although the air resistance in the two-stage gap, such as the gap for the molten metal solidification zone and the gas discharge gap, increases, the number of the pressurizing pins and the arrangement are appropriately selected to provide the above-mentioned gap for the molten metal solidification zone and the gas discharge gap. Installation can also achieve the purpose. In other words, the leading metal is cooled and solidified in the two-stage gap for the melt solidification zone, and the gas discharge is narrower than the gap in the melt solidification zone. Those skilled in the art can easily design a structure that does not enter the void. In addition, in order to reliably cool and solidify the hot water in the space for the molten metal solidification zone, a material with good heat conductivity such as beryllium copper is used for the pressure stem and the pressure pin, and the inside of the structure should be water-cooled. A little monster.
[0035] 以上、説明した本発明の竪型铸造装置は、加圧ステム及び加圧ピン外周のガス排 出系の構は簡単であり、運転中のトラブルの発生は少なくなる。また、密閉された小さ V、体積の注湯鍋内のガス加圧と真空吸引機構の併用で、溶湯を高速で金型キヤビ ティへ充填することにより、大型の薄肉製品の铸造を可能にすると共に、溶湯の先湯 は狭 、溶湯凝固ゾーン空隙に流入するのでそこで凝固し停止して、ガス排出空隙通 路に侵入することはない。また、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部の深さを深くしたことにより、加 圧ステムのストロークを長くすることができ、キヤビティ製品部内の補充充填及び凝固 収縮に対して充分な体積の溶湯を加圧ステムによって圧入し、冷却速度を早くして 結晶を小さくすることも加え、より緻密な組織で強度のある铸造品を得ることができる。 また、円形ゲートの内径よりもわずかに小径の閉塞ピンで円形ゲートを閉塞させ、注 湯鍋内のガス圧を大気解放し、早く引き下げることによりストーク内の溶湯を早く注湯 鍋に戻しストーク内での凝固固着によるトラブルの発生を防止する。  [0035] In the vertical manufacturing apparatus of the present invention described above, the structure of the gas exhaust system around the pressurizing stem and the pressurizing pin is simple, and the occurrence of trouble during operation is reduced. Also, by using gas pressurization in a closed small V, volume pouring pot and vacuum suction mechanism, the molten metal is filled into the mold cavity at high speed, enabling the production of large thin products. On the other hand, since the molten metal of the molten metal flows into the space of the molten metal solidification zone in a narrow space, it solidifies and stops there, and does not enter the gas discharge void passage. Also, by increasing the depth of the first cavity of the cavity, the stroke of the pressurizing stem can be lengthened, and a sufficient volume of molten metal for refilling and solidification shrinkage in the cavity product section is supplied. In addition, the crystal is made smaller by increasing the cooling rate by press-fitting, and it is possible to obtain a stronger product with a denser structure. In addition, the round gate is closed with a closing pin slightly smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the circular gate, the gas pressure in the pouring pot is released to the atmosphere, and the molten metal in the stalk is returned to the pouring pot quickly by lowering it quickly. The occurrence of troubles due to solidification of solids is prevented.
[0036] また、型開時、注湯鍋を機外に出すことにより、流入ゲートの掃除や、金型表面の 冷却、潤滑のためのスプレー作業を容易に安全にできるようにする。  [0036] Further, when the mold is opened, the pouring pot is taken out of the machine, so that the spraying work for cleaning the inflow gate, cooling the mold surface, and lubricating can be easily and safely performed.
[0037] また、ガス加圧注湯鍋と真空吸引機構を備えた本発明の铸込装置では、金型キヤ ビティに溶湯を充填するとき、キヤビティ内のガスをほぼ完全に排出すると同時に、 充填後、円形ゲートを閉塞して小さな圧力で必要充分な加圧をすることができるので 、従来の高圧法の 1Z3〜1Z5の型締力で対応でき、铸造装置のコストが大幅に安 くなり、生産性も良いので、铸造品のコストを大幅に引き下げることができる。また、溶 湯を注湯鍋の湯面の下力 直接供給するので酸ィ匕膜が混入することもなぐその通 路が短いことによって凝固層の発生も少なぐ円形ゲートの出口に適当な高さを持つ キヤビィティ第 1湯溜部を設けることによって、噴流が天井に衝突することもなぐガス の巻込みをなくすとともに、わずかに残った酸ィ匕膜や凝固層をキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 に滞留させることができ、その結果不純物の無 、緻密な組織の铸造品を得ることがで きる。さらに注湯鍋が小さくガス圧を高くすることができる結果、高速の铸込み速度を 確保でき、薄肉铸造が可能になり、注湯鍋を移動することにより、溶湯補充も容易で 、設備費が安くなるだけでなぐ装置の配置、運転も容易になる。 [0037] Further, in the filling device of the present invention provided with the gas pressurizing pouring pot and the vacuum suction mechanism, when filling the mold cavity with the molten metal, the gas in the cavity is almost completely discharged, and after filling, The circular gate can be closed and a sufficient pressure can be applied with a small pressure, so that it can be handled with the conventional high-pressure method of 1Z3 to 1Z5 clamping force. Because of this, the cost of manufactured products can be significantly reduced. In addition, since the molten metal is directly supplied to the lower surface of the pouring pot, it does not mix with the oxidized film, and its passage is short, so that the formation of a solidified layer is minimized. Providing the first reservoir with cavity eliminates the entrainment of gas that would prevent the jet from colliding with the ceiling, and retains a small amount of oxidized film and solidified layer in the first reservoir. As a result, it is possible to obtain a structure having no impurities and a dense structure. Wear. Furthermore, as the pouring pot is small and the gas pressure can be increased, a high filling speed can be secured, thin-walled construction can be achieved, and by moving the pouring pot, the molten metal can be easily replenished and equipment costs can be reduced. The arrangement and operation of the device can be easily performed.
[0038] また、本発明の堅型铸造方法としては、上記堅型铸造装置を用いる铸造方法であ つて、ガス加圧注湯鍋カゝら铸込ストークを通じて溶湯を金型キヤビティ内へ铸込み、 溶湯がキヤビティ内を充填した後、固定金型に形成された溶湯流入ゲートを閉塞手 段で閉塞し、その後金型キヤビティ内の溶湯を加圧手段で加圧する竪型铸造方法で あれば特に制限されるものではなぐ例えば、注湯量 1回分以上の溶湯を受け取った ガス加圧注湯鍋の上端を固定盤の下部に設けられたシールパッキングに押し込みシ ール密閉し、注湯鍋に好ましくは lkg/cm2以上のガス圧を加え、注湯鍋内の湯面を 加圧して铸込ストークを通じて溶湯を金型のキヤビティ内へ铸込む。このとき、ガスカロ 圧注湯鍋が溶湯供給管を備えている場合には、かかる供給管の湯面の上方力も同 じガス圧を同時に加えてもよい。続いて、溶湯でキヤビティ内を充填した後、固定金 型に設けられている溶湯流入ゲートを閉塞手段で塞ぎ、その後金型キヤビティ内の 溶湯を加圧手段 (加圧ピン)で加圧して、凝固時にひけ巣の発生がなぐかつガスの 巻込みのない铸造品、好ましくは軽金属合金の薄肉で大型の铸造品を铸造する。 [0038] Further, the rigid manufacturing method of the present invention is a manufacturing method using the above-described hard manufacturing apparatus, wherein the molten metal is poured into the mold cavity through a gas pressure pouring pot, and the molten metal is poured into the mold cavity. After filling the cavity, the molten metal inflow gate formed in the fixed mold is closed by closing means, and then the molten metal in the mold cavity is pressurized by pressurizing means. shall in Nag, for example, by sheet Lumpur sealed push the upper end of the gas pressure injection Yunabe that received the pouring amount one time or more of the molten metal to the seal packing provided on the bottom of the stationary platen, preferably the pouring pot LKG / cm 2 The above gas pressure is applied to pressurize the molten metal in the pouring pot, and the molten metal is poured into the mold cavity through the filling stalk. At this time, when the gas caro pot is equipped with a molten metal supply pipe, the same gas pressure may be simultaneously applied to the upward force on the molten metal surface of the supply pipe. Subsequently, after filling the inside of the cavity with the molten metal, the molten metal inflow gate provided in the fixed mold is closed with closing means, and then the molten metal in the mold cavity is pressurized by pressurizing means (pressing pins). A structure with no shrinkage cavities during solidification and without entrainment of gas, preferably a thin, large-sized structure made of a light metal alloy.
[0039] 加圧ピンの後退位置で、金型キヤビティ内への溶湯の充填を開始し、先湯の流速 をキヤビティ第 2湯溜部で減速させ、ガス排出空隙カゝら金型キヤビティ内のガスを排 出させながら、溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙の先湯を冷却凝固させ、金型キヤビティ内に 溶湯が充填された後、 1又は複数の加圧ピンを前進させて湯溜部の溶湯を加圧する ことが好ましぐまた、複数の溶湯凝固ゾーンに隣接するガス排出空隙力 真空ガス 抜きを行うことのよつてガスの巻込みをより減少させるとともに、加圧ステムおよび複数 の加圧ピンにより溶湯を加圧することによって圧力伝達距離を短くすることが好ましい 。この補充充填によって、溶湯の金型表面との接触は維持され、良好な熱伝達を保 ち、冷却速度が早ぐ結晶の粗大化を防ぎ、小さな結晶の組織となる。そして、溶湯 が凝固時これに対する補充充填が完了したら短い冷却時間を経て可動プラテンによ つて可動金型を上昇させ、これとともに持ち上げられた製品素材を加圧ステム並びに 加圧ピン及び押出ピンで可動金型力ゝら押出し、さらに押出ピンで突き出して加圧ステ ム、加圧ピン力 抜き出して製品素材を取り出すことによりひけ巣の発生やガスの卷 込みがなぐ緻密な組織の铸造製品を得ることができる。また、力かる動作を毎回繰り 返すために、溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙の凝固溶湯は毎回取り除かれて、ガス排出通 路に目詰まりを起こす事はない、また移動式ガス加圧注湯鍋のストーク上面と金型下 面を押付けてシールする場合、接触面積は小さくシールは容易にできる。 [0039] At the retracted position of the pressurizing pin, the filling of the molten metal into the mold cavity is started, the flow rate of the first hot metal is reduced in the second cavity of the cavity, and the gas discharge gap is set in the mold cavity. While discharging the gas, the molten metal in the cavity for the molten metal solidification zone is cooled and solidified, and after the molten metal is filled in the mold cavity, one or more pressing pins are advanced to add the molten metal in the molten metal reservoir. In addition, it is preferable to pressurize.Also, the gas discharge gap force adjacent to the multiple solidification zones of the molten metal can be used to further reduce gas entrapment by performing vacuum degassing, and the molten metal can be formed by the pressurizing stem and multiple pressurizing pins. It is preferable to shorten the pressure transmission distance by pressurizing the pressure. By this refilling, the contact of the molten metal with the mold surface is maintained, good heat transfer is maintained, the crystal is cooled at a high cooling rate, and the crystal is coarsened, resulting in a small crystal structure. When the refilling of the molten metal is completed, the movable mold is raised by the movable platen after a short cooling time, and the lifted product material is moved by the pressure stem, the pressure pin and the extrusion pin. Extrusion with a mold force By extracting the product material by pulling out the system and the pressure pin force, it is possible to obtain a structured product having a dense structure in which the formation of a sink cavity and the incorporation of gas are eliminated. In addition, since the vigorous operation is repeated every time, the solidified molten metal in the space for the molten metal solidifying zone is removed every time, so that the gas discharge passage is not clogged. When the lower surface of the mold is pressed and sealed, the contact area is small and sealing can be done easily.
[0040] なお、ガス加圧注湯鍋を複数用いて铸造することにより効率的に作業を行なうことも できるが、溶湯流入ゲートを閉塞手段で閉塞した後、直ちにガス加圧溶湯鍋内のガ ス圧を大気解放すると共に装置本体から脱着して、次回に必要な溶湯を供給し、再 び装置本体に装着して、次回の铸造に備えることが好ましい。これにより、 1つのガス 加圧注湯鍋を用いて非常に効率的に铸造を行なうことができる。また、溶湯供給管を 備えたガス加圧注湯鍋を用いる場合には、注湯鍋内のガスを大気解放すると共に、 溶湯鍋を装置本体力ゝら脱着して又は脱着せずに、溶湯供給管の蓋を開 ヽて次回の 溶湯を供給する。なお、溶湯流入ゲートを閉塞手段で閉塞した後、注湯鍋内のガス を大気解放すると共に溶湯供給管の給湯口のガスを吸引して、溶湯供給管内の湯 面を引き上げ、溶湯鍋内の湯面をストークの下端まで引き下げるように設計しておくこ とにより、ストーク内の溶湯をより早く落下させることができ、これにより、より効率的に 作業を行うことができる。  [0040] It is to be noted that the work can be efficiently performed by manufacturing using a plurality of gas pressurized hot pots. However, immediately after the molten metal inflow gate is closed by the closing means, the gas pressure in the gas pressurized molten pot is immediately increased. It is preferable that the gas is released to the atmosphere and detached from the apparatus main body to supply the required molten metal the next time, and attached to the apparatus main body again to prepare for the next structure. As a result, the structure can be very efficiently performed using one gas pressure pouring pot. When using a gas pressurized hot pot equipped with a molten metal supply pipe, release the gas in the molten metal pot to the atmosphere, and remove or attach the molten metal pot to the molten metal supply pipe with or without removing it. Open the lid and supply the next molten metal. After the molten metal inflow gate is closed by the closing means, the gas in the pouring pot is released to the atmosphere and the gas in the hot water supply port of the molten metal supply pipe is sucked to raise the level of the molten metal in the molten metal supply pipe. By designing the surface to be lowered to the lower end of the stalk, the molten metal in the stalk can be dropped more quickly, and thus the work can be performed more efficiently.

[0043] 図 1〜図 5に示される本発明の铸造装置は、上下に移動して型閉型開を行うことが できる、铸造装置下部の水平な固定プラテン 3に取り付けられた固定金型 1と、铸造 装置上部の水平な可動プラテン 4に取り付けられた可動金型 2と、固定プラテン 3の 下方に位置するガス加圧注湯鍋 6とを備えている。かかる固定金型 1と可動金型 2と の開閉により、キヤビティ製品部 9とキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11とキヤビティ第 2湯溜部 1 9の他、キヤビティ製品部 9とキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11とを連通するサイドゲート 12とを 備えた金型キヤビティが形成されるようになっている。また、金型の取り付けは、型締 プレス装置(図示せず)の可動プラテン 4を引上げた状態で铸込ストーク 40を取り付 けた固定金型 1と可動金型 2からなる金型のセットを装入し、固定プラテン 3上に置き 、可動プラテン 4を可動金型 2の上面に接触するまで下降させ、固定金型 1を固定プ ラテン 3に、可動金型 2を可動プラテン 4に取付ける。そして、ガス加圧注湯鍋 6は、固 定プラテン 3の下部に設けられたシールパッキング 38にその上端を押し込まれ、密閉 される。 The manufacturing apparatus of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 can move up and down to perform mold closing and mold opening. The fixed mold 1 attached to the horizontal fixed platen 3 at the bottom of the machine, the movable mold 2 attached to the horizontal movable platen 4 at the top of the machine, and the gas tank located below the fixed platen 3 A hot pot 6 is provided. By opening and closing the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2, the cavity product section 9, the first cavity section 11 and the second cavity section 19, the cavity product section 9 and the first cavity section are provided. A mold cavity having a side gate 12 communicating with the mold 11 is formed. In addition, the mold is installed by setting a mold consisting of a fixed mold 1 and a movable mold 2 on which the insertion stalk 40 is mounted with the movable platen 4 of the mold clamping press (not shown) pulled up. The movable platen 4 is lowered until it comes into contact with the upper surface of the movable mold 2, and the fixed mold 1 is attached to the fixed platen 3 and the movable mold 2 is attached to the movable platen 4. Then, the upper end of the gas pressure pouring pot 6 is pushed into a seal packing 38 provided at a lower portion of the fixed platen 3 and is sealed.
[0044] 固定金型 1には、その下部に下方に延びる铸込ストーク 40が設けられており、かか る铸込ストーク 40からの溶湯を噴出させるための円形ゲート 10が設けられている。加 圧ガスが加圧ガス入口 41から送入され、キヤビティ内が減圧されると、注湯鍋 6内の 溶湯 7は铸込ストーク 40内を押し上げられ、固定金型 1の円形ゲート 10を通じてキヤ ビティ製品部 9内に充填される。なお、この時の铸込速度は、溶湯の円形ゲート 10の 通過速度が早く噴流となって上方に噴出するように、注湯鍋 6内のガス圧とキヤビティ 内の真空度を調整することにより制御されている。  [0044] The fixed die 1 is provided with a filling stalk 40 extending downward at a lower portion thereof, and a circular gate 10 for ejecting the molten metal from the filling stalk 40. When the pressurized gas is supplied from the pressurized gas inlet 41 and the pressure in the cavity is reduced, the molten metal 7 in the pouring pot 6 is pushed up in the pouring stalk 40 and is transmitted through the circular gate 10 of the fixed mold 1 to the cavity. Filled in product part 9. The filling speed at this time is controlled by adjusting the gas pressure in the pouring pot 6 and the degree of vacuum in the cavity so that the molten metal passes through the circular gate 10 at a high speed and jets upward as a jet. Have been.
[0045] また、図 4に示すように、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11の入口直径 d が円形ゲート 10の  As shown in FIG. 4, the inlet diameter d of the cavity first reservoir 11 is
1  1
径の 1. 4倍以上に構成され、また加圧ステム 14の外形 dsは湯溜部 11の入口直径 d  The outer diameter ds of the pressurizing stem 14 is at least 1.4 times the diameter,
1 よりもわずかに小さく構成され、さらにキヤビティ第 1湯溜部の天井高さは、式; h=v2 Z2g (式中 hは噴流到達高さ、 Vは円形ゲート通過速度、 gは重力の加速度を示す。 ) で計算される円形ゲート 10を通過した溶湯噴流 15が到達する高さ hよりも高く構成さ れている。したがって、充填初期において噴流がキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11の天井こと なぐその上部に溶湯噴流 15の自由表面が形成され、この部分の下降流はなくなる ので、溶湯表面にわずかに残っている酸ィ匕膜は静止状態を保ち、また湯溜部 11の 上部に残ったガスを溶湯 16に巻込むこともなくなる結果、これら円形ゲート 10を通過 した溶湯噴流 15の先端にあるわずかな酸ィ匕膜、ガス巻込み層は天井に残り、湯溜部 11を溶湯が充填後、铸込速度を大きくしてもその流れが天井に到達することなぐ酸 化膜や、ガスの巻き込みのな!、清浄な溶湯のみがサイドゲート 12を通過してキヤビテ ィ製品部 9内に充填されることになる。 H = v 2 Z2g (where h is the jet reaching height, V is the circular gate passage velocity, and g is the gravity The height is set higher than the height h reached by the molten metal jet 15 that has passed through the circular gate 10 calculated by the following equation. Therefore, at the initial stage of filling, the free surface of the molten metal jet 15 is formed above the ceiling of the first reservoir 11 where the jet is filled, and the downward flow of this portion is eliminated, so that the acid slightly remaining on the surface of the molten metal is removed. The dani film remains stationary, and the gas remaining in the upper part of the basin 11 does not get caught in the molten metal 16, so that the gas passes through these circular gates 10. The slightly oxidized film and gas entrainment layer at the tip of the molten metal jet 15 remain on the ceiling, and after the molten metal is filled in the basin section 11, the flow reaches the ceiling even if the charging speed is increased. Only the clean molten metal without passing through the oxidation film or the entrainment of gas passes through the side gate 12 and is filled in the cavity product part 9.
[0046] また、円形ゲート 10上方の可動金型 2には、シールパッキング 27を介して油圧シリ ンダー 25が液密に配設されており、該油圧シリンダ 25には、油圧により加圧ステム 1 4をキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11へ進退させることができる加圧ステム用ピストン 23がシー ルパッキング 27を介して収納されており、該加圧ステム用ピストン 23には円形ゲート 10を閉塞することができる閉塞ピン 13を進退させることができる閉塞用ピストン 24が 、加圧ステム用ピストン 23と同軸的に収納されている。金型キヤビティに溶湯の充填 が完了した後、閉塞ピン 13をピストン 24によって前進させ、円形ゲート 10を閉塞し、 その後直ちに加圧ステム 14をピストン 23によって前進させ、キヤビティ製品部 9内の 未充填空隙の体積分及び凝固収縮体積分の溶湯をキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11から加 圧補給する。その時、加圧ステム 14のストロークが大きいので充分量の溶湯を補充 及び加圧充填することができる。  A movable cylinder 2 above the circular gate 10 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 25 in a liquid-tight manner via a seal packing 27, and the hydraulic cylinder 25 is provided with a pressure stem 1 by hydraulic pressure. A piston 23 for pressurizing stem capable of moving the cylinder 4 into and out of the first cavity 11 is accommodated through a seal packing 27, and the piston 23 for pressurizing stem closes the circular gate 10. A closing piston 24 that can advance and retreat the closing pin 13 that can be moved is housed coaxially with the pressure stem piston 23. After the mold cavity is completely filled with molten metal, the closing pin 13 is advanced by the piston 24 to close the circular gate 10, and then the pressurizing stem 14 is immediately advanced by the piston 23, and the filling in the cavity product section 9 is not completed. The molten metal corresponding to the volume and solidification shrinkage volume of the voids is pressurized and supplied from the first cavity 11 of the cavity. At this time, since the stroke of the pressure stem 14 is large, a sufficient amount of molten metal can be replenished and charged under pressure.
[0047] 加圧ステム 14による加圧の際にも、ストーク内の湯面にわずかに発生する酸ィ匕膜、 円形ゲート 10入口で冷却されて形成される湯先表面の凝固層や噴流によって発生 するガス巻込み層は、ゲート噴流 15によって全部湯溜部 11の最上部に集まり、加圧 ステム 14によって押出されることなくキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11の上部に残留し、キヤビ ティ製品部 9に流入することはなぐその結果、これらを原因とする铸造不良は皆無 になる。また、加圧ステム 14の外側には、ガス排出孔 29に連通するガス排出空隙 18 や溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙 17からなる 2段空隙が設けられている。この溶湯凝固ゾー ン用空隙 17やガス排出空隙 18は、図 5dに示されるように、溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙 1 7やガス排出空隙 18で形成された凝固層が製品素材と共に取り出されるので、铸造 の度に確保される。  [0047] Even when pressure is applied by the pressure stem 14, an oxidized film slightly generated on the surface of the molten metal in the stalk, and a solidified layer or jet on the surface of the molten metal formed by cooling at the entrance of the circular gate 10. The generated gas entrained layer is collected at the top of the pool 11 by the gate jet 15 and remains at the top of the first pool 11 without being pushed out by the pressurizing stem 14. As a result, there is no defective structure caused by these. Outside the pressurizing stem 14, a two-stage gap including a gas discharge gap 18 communicating with the gas discharge hole 29 and a gap 17 for the molten metal solidification zone is provided. As shown in FIG. 5d, the solidified layer formed by the molten metal coagulation zone gap 17 and the gas discharge space 18 is taken out together with the product material, as shown in FIG. 5d. Is secured every time.
[0048] また、図 1及び図 2に示すように、キヤビティ製品部 9の端部上方には、 1又は 2以上 の小さなキヤビティ第 2湯溜部 19が形成されており、該湯溜部 19の上方の可動金型 には、油圧シリンダ 31が配設されており、該油圧シリンダには油圧により加圧ピン 20 をキヤビティ第 2湯溜部 19へ進退させることのできる加圧ピン用ピストン 30が収納さ れている。上記 1又は 2以上の加圧ピン 20は型開閉方向と平行で型パーティング面 と直行する方向の軸芯を有し、シールパッキング 33を介して可動金型 2に液密に設 けられている。そして、加圧ステム 14によってキヤビティ製品部 9内の補充充填を行 つた後、これら加圧ピン 20を押出、キヤビティ第 2湯溜部 19を介してキヤビティ製品 部 9の溶湯を加圧するようになっている。また、加圧ピン 20の外径はキヤビティ第 2湯 溜部 19の入口の直径よりもわずかに小さく構成されている。これら加圧ピン 20も毎回 摺動するので溶湯凝固ゾーン空隙 21で形成された凝固層は製品素材についた状 態で図示されていない押出ピンによって押し出されガス通路穴に残らず、毎回ガスの 排出通路は確保されるようになって ヽる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one or more small second cavity portions 19 are formed above the end portion of the cavity product portion 9. A hydraulic cylinder 31 is disposed in the movable mold above the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a pressure pin 20 by hydraulic pressure. A pressurizing pin piston 30 that can move the piston into and out of the second cavity 19 is housed. The one or more pressure pins 20 have an axis parallel to the mold opening / closing direction and perpendicular to the mold parting surface, and are provided in the movable mold 2 via the seal packing 33 in a liquid-tight manner. I have. After the refilling of the cavity product section 9 is performed by the pressure stem 14, these pressure pins 20 are extruded, and the molten metal of the cavity product section 9 is pressurized through the second cavity 19. ing. The outer diameter of the pressure pin 20 is configured to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the inlet of the second cavity 19 of the cavity. Since the pressure pin 20 also slides each time, the solidified layer formed in the gap 21 of the molten metal solidification zone is pushed out by an extrusion pin (not shown) in a state of being attached to the product material, and remains in the gas passage hole, and the gas is discharged every time. Passages are being secured.
[0049] 次に上記説明した堅型铸造装置の作用について説明する。型締完了後、ガス加圧 注湯鍋 6内に送入した加圧ガスの圧力及びキヤビティ内への真空吸弓 I力により、注 湯鍋 6内の溶湯 16をキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11に押し上げる。溶湯 16は铸込ストーク 4 0内を上昇し固定金型 1の円形ゲート 10を通過して噴出し(図 4)、次いでキヤビティ 製品部 9に充填される。一般的に、キヤビティ製品部 9内の流動抵抗があるので、加 圧ピン下方のキヤビティ第 2湯溜部 19に溶湯が到達する前に、円形ゲート 10の上部 にあるキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11が溶湯で充填されるが(図 5a)、先湯が 2段空隙の溶 湯凝固ゾーン用空隙 17に入ってくると、通路が狭ぐ溶湯の熱容量が少なぐ反対に 冷却面積が大きいので冷却速度が大きぐ凝固が進み流動性が低下することから、 溶湯の先端は溶湯凝固ゾーン用空隙 17の途中で停止し、凝固してガス排出空隙 18 に侵入することはない。 Next, the operation of the above-described rigid manufacturing apparatus will be described. After mold clamping is completed, the molten metal 16 in the pouring pot 6 is pushed up to the first reservoir 11 in the cavity by the pressure of the pressurized gas sent into the gas pressurizing pouring pot 6 and the vacuum suction I force into the cavity. . The molten metal 16 rises in the filling stalk 40, passes through the circular gate 10 of the fixed mold 1, and is ejected (FIG. 4), and is then filled into the cavity product part 9. Generally, since there is flow resistance in the cavity product section 9, the first cavity section 11 above the circular gate 10 before the molten metal reaches the second cavity section 19 below the pressurizing pin. Is filled with the molten metal (Fig. 5a), but when the leading metal enters the gap 17 for the molten metal solidification zone, which is a two-stage void, the passage is narrow, the heat capacity of the molten metal is small, and the cooling area is large. Since the solidification proceeds at a high speed and the fluidity decreases, the tip of the molten metal stops in the middle of the gap 17 for the molten metal solidification zone, and does not solidify and enter the gas discharge gap 18.
[0050] キヤビティ内の溶湯の流れが停止すると充填完了の信号として検知して、直ちに閉 塞ピン 13を前進させて円形ゲート 10に挿入し、これを閉塞する。(図 5b)。このように キヤビティ製品部 9及びキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11内の溶湯力スト—クに逆流しな 、よう に閉塞した後、直ちに加圧ステム 14を進出させ加圧し、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11内 の半凝固状態の溶湯をキヤビティ製品部 9に補充充填する(図 5c)。充填が完了し冷 却が始まると、溶湯 16の凝固収縮が生起するため、加圧ステム 14に高圧力をカ卩えて 進出させ、凝固収縮体積に応じた補充を行う。この時、溶湯と金型表面との接触は維 持され、冷却速度は早ぐ結晶が小さくなる。また、閉塞ピン 13による円形ゲート 10 閉塞時、閉塞ピン 13と円形ゲート 10との接触が仮に完全でなくても、小さい空隙に 存在する溶湯は早く冷却凝固し、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部を加圧しても溶湯が円形ゲー ト 10から铸込ストーク 40を通じ注湯鍋 6に逆流することはない。したがって、図 2に示 すように、閉塞ピン 13で円形ゲート 10を閉塞後、直ちに注湯鍋内のガス圧を大気解 放し、危険のな 、圧力に下がった状態で注湯鍋 6をストーク下端より低 、位置まで垂 直移動装置(図示せず)を用いて下降させ、铸込ストーク 40内に残って 、た溶湯を注 湯鍋 6内に落下させる。下降させた注湯鍋 6は水平移動装置(図示せず)で铸造機 外の位置まで移動させ次回に必要な溶湯を給湯ラドル 42で給湯し、再び装置本体 に装着し次回の铸造に備える。 When the flow of the molten metal in the cavity is stopped, it is detected as a signal of the completion of filling, and the closing pin 13 is immediately advanced and inserted into the circular gate 10 to close it. (Figure 5b). As described above, the block is closed so as not to flow backward to the molten metal force stroke in the cavity product section 9 and the first cavity section 11, and then the pressure stem 14 is immediately advanced to pressurize the first cavity section. The semi-solidified molten metal in 11 is refilled into the cavity product section 9 (Fig. 5c). When the filling is completed and cooling starts, solidification shrinkage of the molten metal 16 occurs. Therefore, high pressure is applied to the pressurizing stem 14 to advance the molten metal 16 and replenishment is performed according to the solidification shrinkage volume. At this time, contact between the molten metal and the mold surface is maintained. The cooling rate is faster and the crystals are smaller. Further, when the circular gate 10 is closed by the closing pin 13, even if the contact between the closing pin 13 and the circular gate 10 is not perfect, the molten metal existing in the small gap rapidly cools and solidifies, and the first cavity of the cavity is added. Even if it is pressed, the molten metal does not flow back from the circular gate 10 through the pouring stalk 40 to the pouring pot 6. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, immediately after closing the circular gate 10 with the closing pin 13, the gas pressure in the pouring pot is released to the atmosphere, and the pouring pot 6 is lowered from the bottom of the stalk in a state where the pressure is reduced without danger. It is lowered to a low position using a vertical moving device (not shown), and the molten metal remaining in the pouring stalk 40 is dropped into the pouring pot 6. The lowered pouring pot 6 is moved to a position outside the machine by a horizontal moving device (not shown), and the molten metal required next time is supplied by the hot water supply ladle 42, and is attached to the main body again to prepare for the next structure.
[0051] 加圧ステム 14による補充充填の場合は、従来のダイカスト法と比較して、金型キヤ ビティ内の溶湯温度が高ぐ加圧距離も短ぐ圧力伝達抵抗も大幅に小さぐ加圧ス テム 14の加圧シリンダーの力も小さくて済み、油圧シリンダー内の油圧も低い状態で 進出させることができる。この加圧ステム 14の進出による補充充填により、溶湯がキヤ ビティ製品部 9及びキヤビティ第 2湯溜部 19を補充充填した後、加圧ピン 20を進出 させることになる。力かる加圧ピン 20による加圧は、加圧ステム 14による充填完了と 共に流動抵抗が増大し油圧が上昇するので、これを検知して開始される。加圧ステ ム 14の進出による凝固収縮体積に応じた補充は、キヤビティ製品部 9の反対側の端 部までは圧力伝達が難しいので、端部周辺の加圧ピン 20を作動させて加圧し、全面 的に凝固収縮によるひけ巣の無 、緻密な組織の製品を得ることができる。キヤビティ 製品部 9内の溶融金属の冷却凝固が完了した後、型開きを行い可動金型 2で持上げ られた製品素材は各加圧ピン及び押出ピンによって押出され取り出すことができる( 図 5d) [0051] In the case of refilling by the pressurizing stem 14, compared with the conventional die casting method, the temperature of the molten metal in the mold cavity is high, the pressurizing distance is short, and the pressure transmission resistance is significantly low. The pressure of the pressurizing cylinder of the stem 14 can be reduced, and the vehicle can be advanced with the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic cylinder being low. By the refilling by the advance of the pressurizing stem 14, the molten metal refills the cavity product section 9 and the second cavity section 19, and then the pressurizing pin 20 is advanced. The pressurization by the pressurizing pin 20 is started when the flow resistance increases and the hydraulic pressure increases together with the completion of the filling by the pressurizing stem 14, and is detected and started. Replenishment according to the solidification shrinkage volume due to the advancement of the pressurizing stage 14 is difficult because the pressure is difficult to transmit to the opposite end of the cavity product section 9, so the pressurizing pin 20 around the end is operated to pressurize. It is possible to obtain a product with a dense structure without sinkholes due to coagulation contraction over the entire surface. After the cooling and solidification of the molten metal in the cavity product section 9 is completed, the mold is opened and the product material lifted by the movable mold 2 can be extruded and removed by each pressure pin and extrusion pin (Fig. 5d).
[0052] 本発明の竪型铸造装置をアルミホイールの生産に応用した場合を図 6に示す。ゲ ート 10を通過した溶湯は実施例 1におけるキヤビティ湯溜部 11に相当する製品アル ミホイールのノヽブ部 9aに入り、サイドゲート 12に相当するアルミホイールのスポーク 部 9bを通過して、円周状のリムフランジ部 9cに入る。このリムフランジ 9cの上端円周 の数ケ所にキヤビティ第 2湯溜 19を設け、ガス抜き、加圧を行う。その他の動作は実 施例 1と同じで高度な品質のアルミホイールを铸造できると共に、更に、本方法によ れば、実施例 1におけるキヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11及びサイドゲート 12は製品 9 (アルミ ホイール)の中に含まれ、余分な溶湯が少なぐまた、閉塞ピンによる孔は、アルミホ ィールの軸孔となり、キヤビティ第 1湯溜部 11、すなわちハブ部 9aの铸込み重量を 少なくし、冷却凝固速度を早くして、サイクルタイムを短ぐ铸造の生産性を高めると 共に、機械カ卩ェにおける軸孔カ卩ェ時間を短縮する。そして、冷却速度が早いことは 結晶を小さくし、アルミホイールの意匠性にとって重要な表面の美しさを発揮させるこ とがでさる。 FIG. 6 shows a case where the vertical manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is applied to the production of aluminum wheels. After passing through the gate 10, the molten metal enters the knob 9a of the aluminum wheel corresponding to the cavity 11 in the first embodiment, passes through the spoke 9b of the aluminum wheel corresponding to the side gate 12, and then forms a circle. Enter the circumferential rim flange 9c. A second cavity 19 for cavities is provided at several places around the upper end circumference of the rim flange 9c to perform degassing and pressurization. Other operations are The same high-quality aluminum wheels as in Example 1 can be manufactured, and according to this method, the first cavity 11 and the side gate 12 in Example 1 are the same as those in Product 9 (aluminum wheels). In addition, the hole formed by the closing pin becomes a shaft hole of the aluminum wheel, reducing the weight of the first cavity 11, that is, the hub 9 a, and increasing the cooling and solidifying speed. Then, the cycle time is shortened, the productivity of the structure is increased, and the time of the shaft hole in the machine is shortened. The high cooling rate also reduces the size of the crystal and makes it possible to exhibit the beauty of the surface, which is important for the design of aluminum wheels.
