Description
金属溶湯を通気性鋳型に重力注湯して鋳造物品を得るのに用いられる鋳造装置であって、
キャビティとして、導入管部と前記導入管部よりも拡径された前記金属溶湯を受ける湯口カップ部とからなる湯口部、前記湯口部から供給された金属溶湯の流路を形成する湯道部、及び前記湯道部を通じて金属溶湯が充填される製品部を少なくとも有する通気性鋳型と、
前記湯口部に金属溶湯を重力注湯可能な注湯装置と、
前記湯口部に接続可能なガス吐出部を具備するガス送気装置と、
前記ガス吐出部を移動可能なガス吐出部移動装置と、
を有しており、
前記ガス吐出部移動装置は、前記導入管部の直上であって前記金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置に配置させた前記ガス吐出部を下降させて前記導入管部に接続するものであり、
前記ガス送気装置はガスを送気して前記製品部に前記金属溶湯を充填するものである鋳造装置である。
キャビティとして、導入管部と前記導入管部よりも拡径された前記金属溶湯を受ける湯口カップ部とからなる湯口部、前記湯口部から供給された金属溶湯の流路を形成する湯道部、及び前記湯道部を通じて金属溶湯が充填される製品部を少なくとも有する通気性鋳型に、金属溶湯を重力注湯し、次いでガス吐出部を有するガス送気装置から前記通気性鋳型のキャビティにガスを送気して、前記金属溶湯を前記製品部のキャビティ部分に充填する鋳造物品の製造方法であって、
前記導入管部の直上であって前記金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置に配置させた前記ガス吐出部を、前記重力注湯終了後に前記湯口部に向けて下降させて前記導入管部に接続する方法である。
従来の重力注湯による鋳造においては、注湯時の重力のみで製品部が充填されるに必要な溶湯量を湯口部から供給するため、溶湯の停滞という問題は鋳造装置の異常等が起こらない限り発生しない。一方、特開2007-75862号及び特開2010-269345号に提案されるような重力注湯段階からガス送気段階への切り替えが必要な鋳造では、切り替えのタイミングにおいて、溶湯を全く停滞させないか、停滞の時間を品質に影響を及ぼさない程度の短い時間とすることが必要となる。
金属溶湯を通気性鋳型に重力注湯して鋳造物品を得るのに用いられる鋳造装置であって、
キャビティとして、導入管部と前記導入管部よりも拡径された前記金属溶湯を受ける湯口カップ部とからなる湯口部、前記湯口部から供給された金属溶湯の流路を形成する湯道部、及び前記湯道部を通じて金属溶湯が充填される製品部を少なくとも有する通気性鋳型と、
前記湯口部に金属溶湯を重力注湯可能な注湯装置と、
前記湯口部に接続可能なガス吐出部を具備するガス送気装置と、
前記ガス吐出部を鉛直方向、又は鉛直方向及び水平方向に移動可能なガス吐出部移動装置と、
を有しており、
前記ガス吐出部移動装置は、前記導入管部の直上であって前記金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置に配置させた前記ガス吐出部を下降させて前記導入管部に接続するものであり、
前記ガス送気装置はガスを送気して前記製品部に前記金属溶湯を充填するものである鋳造装置である。
通気性鋳型は、金属溶湯を重力注湯して鋳造物品を得るための鋳型であって、キャビティとして、金属溶湯を注湯するための湯口部、前記湯口部から注湯した溶湯の流路を形成する湯道部、及び前記湯道部を通じて供給された溶湯が充填される製品部を少なくとも有し、必要に応じて押湯部のキャビティを有する。
注湯装置には、レードル、注湯管、注湯樋及びその他の注湯手段が適用できる。重力注湯段階からガス送気段階への切り替えを高速化するためには、注湯終了後の早い段階で、後述するガス吐出部が遅滞なく下降して前記湯口部の前記導入管部に接続可能な構成とすればよい。そのためには、少なくとも前記導入管部への接続段階において注湯装置がガス吐出部の導入管部への接続を妨げない状態となっていること、すなわち、少なくとも注湯終了の前までに注湯装置を前記ガス吐出部の動作空間から退避させるのが好ましい。注湯装置は、注湯開始前から退避、すなわち注湯期間の全てにわたって前記ガス吐出部の動作空間外に位置させるのがより好ましい。
前述のように、少なくとも注湯終了の前までに注湯装置を前記ガス吐出部の動作空間から退避させる手段、及び/又は注湯初期においては、溶湯の流線を導入管部直上部又はその近傍に位置させ、注湯後期においては、湯口カップ部の開口部の範囲であって、前記導入管部直上又はその近傍から離間する位置に適切に移動させる手段として、注湯装置移動手段を有するのが好ましい。この注湯装置移動手段によって、注湯終了の前までに注湯装置をガス送気装置の動作空間から退避させることができるので、注湯終了後速やかにガス吐出部を下降させて導入管部に接続することが可能となるとともに、注湯時の流線とガス吐出部との衝突による溶湯の飛散、溶湯による湯口カップ部の損傷、異物の巻き込み、溶湯の酸化等の発生を抑制することができる。
ガス送気装置はガス流束の発生手段と、前記湯口部に接続するための接続部を有するガス吐出部とを有する。ガス吐出部は、注湯期間において、後述するガス吐出部移動装置によって、前記ガス吐出部は導入管部の直上であって注湯装置に干渉せず、前記金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置に配置され、注湯終了後に前記位置から下降させて導入管部に接続される。次いで、ガス流束の発生手段によって発生させたガスを送気し溶湯を押し込み、製品部に溶湯を充填する。
ガス吐出部移動装置は、ガス吐出部を移動可能に構成されており、少なくとも注湯期間において前記導入管部の直上であって注湯装置に干渉せず、金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置に配置させたガス吐出部を、注湯終了後に前記配置位置から下降させて導入管部に接続するものである。ここで、ガス吐出部が湯口部に接続されるまでの動作は、例えば、(i) ガス吐出部を注湯装置に干渉せず、金属溶湯の重力注湯を妨げない位置であって湯口部の導入管部の直上に位置させる動作、(ii) ガス吐出部を湯口部に接近させる動作、及び(iii) ガス吐出部を導入管部に接続する動作の3つに区分できる。重力注湯段階からガス送気段階へ速やかに切り替えるためには、(i)~(iii)の各々の動作時間をできるだけ短くすることが有効である。
(1)実施の形態1
実施の形態1の鋳造装置は、図7(a)に示すように、送気ノズル1a(ガス吐出部)を有するガス送気装置1と、前記送気ノズル1aを鉛直方向及び水平方向に移動可能なガス吐出部移動装置11と、レードル2(注湯装置)と、鋳型3(通気性鋳型)とからなる。前記鋳型3は上枠3a及び下枠3bに型合わせされて定盤3cの上に配置される。鋳型キャビティ4は、溶湯流路を形成する湯口カップ部5a及び導入管部5bで構成される湯口部5と、湯道部6と、押湯部7と、製品部8とから構成される。実施の形態1において、所望のキャビティ9は製品部8及び押湯部7で構成される。前記押湯部7は特に必要がなければ設けられなくてもよい。なお前記送気ノズル1aは、ストレートな側面、すなわちテーパのない側面を有し、鋳型3は通気性鋳型である生砂型であり、湯口カップ部5aは導入管部5bの中心軸から拡径された椀状である場合を示すが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。
実施の形態1では、注湯初期においてレードル2が送気ノズルの動作空間10(二点鎖線で囲まれた領域)の範囲外にあったが、実施の形態2では、レードル2の一部が送気ノズルの動作空間10(二点鎖線で囲まれた領域)の範囲内にある例を示す。
実施の形態3は、実施の形態1の注湯後期において、注湯終了の前までに送気ノズル1aの先端(ガス吐出口)を湯口カップ部5aの上面よりも下方となる位置になるよう送気ノズル1aを配置させる例である。
実施の形態4は、実施の形態1の注湯後期において、注湯終了の前までに送気ノズル1aの先端(ガス吐出口)を湯口カップ部5aに滞留する溶湯Mに接触する位置に送気ノズル1aを配置させる例である。
実施の形態5は、実施の形態1の注湯期間中において、注湯される溶湯Mの流線を導入管部5bの直上(又はその近傍)から湯口カップ部5aの開口部の範囲であって導入管部5bの直上(又はその近傍)から離間する位置に配置させ、送気ノズル1aの先端(ガス吐出口)を湯口カップ部5aの上面よりも下方となる位置になるよう送気ノズル1aを配置させる(又は、送気ノズル1aの先端を湯口カップ部5aに滞留する溶湯Mに接触する位置に送気ノズル1aを配置させる)例である。
実施の形態6は、実施の形態5における鋳造装置の湯口カップ部5cの形状を変更した例、すなわち、湯口カップ部5eを、図12(a)~図12(d)に示すように、導入管部5bから離間する一方向に延びた形状に形成した例を示す。
実施の形態7は、実施の形態1の注湯装置における送気ノズル1aと湯口部5との接続部の他の一例を示す。実施の形態7に示す例では、図13に示すように、先端近傍にテーパ状壁面15が形成された送気ノズル1bを、同様のテーパ面を形成した導入管部5dに嵌合させて接続する。このような送気ノズルの形状と導入管部の形状とすることによって、導入管部に対する位置合わせをより容易に行うことができるため、重力注湯完了からガスを送気開始するまでの期間を更に短縮できる。
