Abstract

Provided are a die cast manufacturing method and apparatus, with which it is possible to shorten a manufacturing cycle by allowing a die cast product to be extracted upon completion of cooling the product without having to wait until a biscuit part cools down. In the die cast manufacturing method and apparatus, after molten metal is injected into clamped molds by a first pressure application means, second pressure application is conducted by a second pressure application means via a runner that is directly connected to a cavity. In a state where filling of the cavity by the molten metal is completed by the first pressure application means, a passageway between a die cast product part and the biscuit part is disconnected so as to allow the second pressure application means to apply pressure to the die cast product part, thereby enabling the die cast product part and the biscuit part to be cut apart and to be extracted upon opening the molds.

Description

ダイカスト製造方法及び装置Die casting manufacturing method and equipment
 本発明はダイカスト製造方法及び装置に係り、特に製品製造サイクルを短くすることができるダイカスト製造方法及び装置段に関する。 The present invention relates to a die casting manufacturing method and apparatus, and particularly to a die casting manufacturing method and apparatus that can shorten product manufacturing cycles.
 ダイカスト製品の鋳造方法は、金型で作ったキャビティにアルミ等の溶湯をプランジャーで押し込み、キャビティに倣った形状の製品を取り出して行う。製品として冷却成形するときに巣の発生を抑え製品密度が向上するように、ダイカストマシンのプランジャーを加圧動作することに合わせ、ランナーを更に加圧する方法が提案されている。これはキャビティに直結する立上りランナーに出入りする加圧ピンを設け、1次加圧手段によるプランジャーの加圧が完了した後に、ランナーの加圧ピンを作動させて更なる加圧を行うようにしたものである(特許文献1)。この際、製品取出しに関しては、製品部に繋がるビスケット部を把持して、ビスケット部・ランナー部・製品部・エアベント部からなる鋳放し状態品全体を自動取出しロボットで行うようにしている。特許文献1のランナーからの加圧では、加圧部分とプランジャー先端ビスケット面がつながった状態となっており、溶湯がプランジャー側に逆流してしまい、押し湯効果が発揮できないという欠点があった。 The method for casting die-cast products is to push molten metal such as aluminum into a cavity made in a mold using a plunger, and then take out a product shaped like the cavity. In order to suppress the formation of cavities and improve product density when cooling and molding a product, a method has been proposed in which the runner is further pressurized in conjunction with the pressurizing operation of the plunger of the die-casting machine. This is done by installing a pressure pin that goes in and out of the rising runner that is directly connected to the cavity, and after the plunger is pressurized by the primary pressure means, the pressure pin of the runner is activated to apply further pressure. (Patent Document 1). At this time, the product is taken out by a robot that grasps the biscuit part connected to the product part and automatically takes out the entire as-cast product consisting of the biscuit part, runner part, product part, and air vent part. In applying pressure from the runner in Patent Document 1, the pressurizing part and the biscuit surface at the tip of the plunger are connected, which has the drawback that the molten metal flows back toward the plunger, making it impossible to exert the rising water effect.

 このような観点から、特許文献2に掲げる技術が提案されており、製品部とビスケット部をつなげているランナー部の強度を維持しつつ、立上りランナー部を形成する部材の内径と、加圧ピンの外径との間の隙間を、0.5~3.0mmとして、逆流防止機能を発揮させるようにし、押し込み効果が得られるようにしたものである(特許文献2)。しかし、立上りランナー部を形成する部材の内径と加圧ピンの外径との間の隙間Δを0.5~3.0mmとしているが、実際上、そのような円筒状隙間を形成することが困難となっており、隙間が大きくなってしまい、隙間長さLもある程度必要となっている。このため、加圧ピンを加圧挿入しても隙間Δを通じて溶湯が逆流し、プランジャーが押し戻されてしまい、予定するような逆流防止効果は得られないものであった。 From this perspective, the technology listed in Patent Document 2 has been proposed, which maintains the strength of the runner part that connects the product part and the biscuit part, while reducing the inner diameter of the member forming the rising runner part and the pressure pin. The gap between the outside diameter and the outside diameter is set to 0.5 to 3.0 mm to exhibit a backflow prevention function and to obtain a pushing effect (Patent Document 2). However, although the gap Δ between the inner diameter of the member forming the rising runner portion and the outer diameter of the pressure pin is set to 0.5 to 3.0 mm, in reality, it is difficult to form such a cylindrical gap. This is difficult, the gap becomes large, and a certain gap length L is also required. For this reason, even if the pressure pin was inserted under pressure, the molten metal would flow back through the gap Δ, pushing the plunger back, and the expected backflow prevention effect could not be obtained.
 また、鋳造後のダイカスト製品取り出しは、ロボットチャックによりビスケット部を掴んで行われる。ランナー部を加工して設置したシリンダへ加圧ピンを押し込んで凝固した鋳造品の製品部とビスケット部は、シリンダ内径と加圧ピン外径との隙間で形成される肉厚の薄い円筒形で繋がれた状態となる。そのため、立上りランナー部シリンダ部と移動するランナー部加圧ピンとの間の隙間が薄くなるとビスケット部と製品部をつないでいる部分の強度が低下し、製品取り出し時に破損して製品取り出しに失敗し、連続生産に支障が生じる。逆にこの隙間を大きくするとランナー部加圧ピンによる第2加圧の圧力効果が隙間を溶湯が逆流してしまい、加圧効果が損なわれる。更に、ダイカスト製品の製造サイクルタイムは、金型締・溶湯充填・金型内射出・冷却・金型開・鋳放し品取出し・離型剤射出・金型締から構成されるが、サイクルタイムの中でも冷却時間が占める割合は大きく、冷却に最も時間のかかる肉厚の厚いビスケット部冷却時間によって決まり、製品製造サイクルタイムの短縮化には限度があった。 Furthermore, the die-cast product is removed after casting by gripping the biscuit part with a robot chuck. The product part and biscuit part of the cast product solidified by pressing a pressure pin into a cylinder that has been processed and installed in the runner part have a thin cylindrical shape formed by the gap between the inner diameter of the cylinder and the outer diameter of the pressure pin. It becomes connected. Therefore, when the gap between the cylinder part of the rising runner part and the pressure pin of the moving runner part becomes thin, the strength of the part connecting the biscuit part and the product part decreases, causing damage when taking out the product and failure to take out the product. Continuous production will be disrupted. On the other hand, if this gap is made larger, the pressure effect of the second pressurization by the runner pressure pin causes the molten metal to flow back through the gap, impairing the pressurizing effect. Furthermore, the manufacturing cycle time for die-cast products consists of mold clamping, molten metal filling, injection into the mold, cooling, mold opening, removal of the as-cast product, mold release agent injection, and mold clamping. Among them, cooling time accounts for a large proportion, and is determined by the cooling time of the thick biscuit part, which takes the longest time to cool, and there is a limit to the reduction of product manufacturing cycle time.

The purpose is to provide.
 本発明は、上記問題点を解決するため、以下のように構成したものである。型締された金型に第1加圧手段により溶湯を射出した後、第2加圧手段によりキャビティに直結するランナーを通じて第2加圧を行うダイカスト製造方法であって、第1加圧手段により溶湯をキャビティに充填完了した状態でダイカスト製品部とビスケット部の通路を分断して第2加圧手段によりダイカスト製品部の加圧することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as follows. A die casting manufacturing method in which, after injecting molten metal into a clamped mold by a first pressure means, a second pressure is applied by a second pressure means through a runner directly connected to a cavity, the method comprising: The method is characterized in that when the cavity is completely filled with molten metal, the passage between the die-cast product part and the biscuit part is separated, and the die-cast product part is pressurized by the second pressurizing means.
 また、この場合、第1加圧手段により溶湯を金型に入れて充填完了した状態から第2加圧手段の加圧ピンによりダイカスト製品部とビスケット部の通路を分断した状態にしつつ加圧ピンの押圧力でダイカスト製品部の加圧をなすことを特徴としている。前記第2加圧手段による製品部の加圧後、ダイカスト製品部が固化されビスケット部は半生状態で型開させ、製品または製品に接続された取り出し用突起部を製品取出装置で掴み、半生状態のビスケット部はマシンの金型押出や射出前進運動で分断するようにすればよい。
 更に、前記加圧ピンのストロークをモニタリングすることにより鋳造中に製品の品質を確認することを特徴とする。
In this case, after the molten metal is put into the mold by the first pressurizing means and filling is completed, the pressurizing pin of the second pressurizing means separates the passage between the die-cast product part and the biscuit part, and the pressurizing pin The die-cast product is pressurized by the pressing force of . After the product part is pressurized by the second pressurizing means, the die-cast product part is solidified and the biscuit part is opened in a half-baked state, and the product or the ejecting protrusion connected to the product is grasped by a product take-out device, and the biscuit part is in a semi-baked state. The biscuit portion may be separated by extrusion from a machine die or by forward motion of injection.
Furthermore, the quality of the product is confirmed during casting by monitoring the stroke of the pressure pin.
 前記第1加圧手段による溶湯に作用する圧力より、第2加圧手段の加圧ピンによるダイカスト製品部を含む溶湯に作用する圧力の方が大きくなる構造となっている。 The structure is such that the pressure applied to the molten metal including the die-cast product part by the pressure pin of the second pressure means is greater than the pressure applied to the molten metal by the first pressure means.
 センターゲート製法において、型締された金型に第1加圧手段により溶湯を射出した後、固定金型設置のスプール部を第2加圧手段により加圧するに際して、第2加圧手段の加圧ピンによりダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを繋ぐランナー部で分断するように加圧することを特徴とする。 In the center gate manufacturing method, after the molten metal is injected into the clamped mold by the first pressurizing means, when the spool part installed in the fixed mold is pressurized by the second pressurizing means, the pressure of the second pressurizing means is applied. It is characterized by applying pressure using a pin so as to separate the die-cast product part and the biscuit part at the runner part that connects them.
 本発明に係るダイカスト製造装置は、型締された金型に溶湯を射出する第1加圧手段と、この第1加圧手段の作動完了の後に動作されキャビティに直結するランナーを加圧する加圧ピンを備えた第2加圧手段と、ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを分断遮蔽する位置に設けた分断手段と、を設け、前記分断手段は第1加圧手段の動作完了後、ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを分断可能として前記ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを切り離し可能として後、第2加圧手段によりダイカスト製品部の加圧可能とする制御部を設けてなることを特徴とする。 The die casting manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes a first pressurizing means for injecting molten metal into a clamped mold, and a pressurizing means that is operated after the operation of the first pressurizing means is completed and pressurizes a runner directly connected to the cavity. A second pressurizing means provided with a pin, and a dividing means provided at a position to separate and shield the die-cast product part and the biscuit part, and the dividing means presses the die-cast product part after the operation of the first pressurizing means is completed. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a control section that allows the die-cast product section and the biscuit section to be separated so that the die-cast product section and the biscuit section can be separated, and then the die-cast product section can be pressurized by the second pressurizing means.
 また、型締された金型に溶湯を射出する第1加圧手段と、この第1加圧手段の作動完了の後に動作されキャビティに直結するランナーを加圧する加圧ピンを備えた第2加圧手段と、ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを分断する位置に設けた前記加圧ピンの加圧経路と、を設け、前記加圧経路は加圧ピンの作動によりダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを分断可能として前記製品部とビスケット部とを切り離し可能とし、その後第2加圧手段によりダイカスト製品部の加圧可能とする制御部を設けてなることを特徴としている。 Further, the second pressurizing means includes a first pressurizing means for injecting molten metal into the clamped mold, and a pressurizing pin that is operated after the operation of the first pressurizing means is completed and pressurizes a runner directly connected to the cavity. A pressure means and a pressure path for the pressure pin provided at a position separating the die-cast product part and the biscuit part are provided, and the pressure path separates the die-cast product part and the biscuit part by the operation of the pressure pin. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a control section that is separable so that the product section and the biscuit section can be separated, and then the die-cast product section can be pressurized by the second pressurizing means.
 このような装置では、前記制御部は前記第2加圧手段による製品部の加圧後、ダイカスト製品部が固化されビスケット部は半生状態で型開させ、製品または製品に接続されたランナーを製品取出装置で掴み、半生状態のビスケット部はマシンの金型押出や射出前進運動で分断するようにしている。 In such an apparatus, the control unit, after pressurizing the product part by the second pressurizing means, causes the die-cast product part to be solidified and the biscuit part to open the mold in a semi-baked state, and to move the product or the runner connected to the product to the product part. The biscuit portion, which is in a semi-baked state after being grasped by a take-out device, is separated by extrusion from a mold or by forward motion of the injection machine.
 更に、ダイカスト金型に溶湯を射出する第1加圧手段と、キャビティに連通するランナーを屈曲させ、この屈曲部におけるキャビティ直結ランナー部に設けられキャビティ方向に加圧する第2加圧手段と、を有する射出部を設け、前記第1加圧手段による射出完了後、第2加圧手段の加圧ピンによる加圧経路に設けられ当該加圧ピンとの間でダイカスト製品部とビスケット部とを分断遮蔽した後、前記加圧ピンによる製品部を加圧可能とする制御部を設けたことを特徴とする。 Furthermore, a first pressurizing means for injecting the molten metal into the die-casting mold, and a second pressurizing means for bending the runner communicating with the cavity and applying pressure in the direction of the cavity, which is provided on the runner directly connected to the cavity at this bent part. After the injection by the first pressurizing means is completed, an injection section is provided in the pressurizing path by the pressurizing pin of the second pressurizing means to separate and shield the die-cast product part and the biscuit part between the pressurizing pin and the pressurizing pin. The present invention is characterized in that a control unit is provided that allows the pressure pin to pressurize the product portion after the pressure is applied.
 この場合、前記制御部は前記第2加圧手段による製品部の加圧後、ダイカスト製品部が固化されビスケット部は半生状態で型開させ、製品または製品に接続されたランナーを製品取出装置で掴み、半生状態のビスケット部はマシンの金型押出や射出前進運動で分断するようにすることは同様である。 In this case, after pressurizing the product part by the second pressurizing means, the control section opens the die-cast product part in a solidified state and the biscuit part is in a semi-baked state, and the product or the runner connected to the product is moved by a product take-out device. Similarly, the biscuit parts in a semi-baked state are separated by extruding the machine with a die or by forward movement of the injection machine.
 今までのダイカスト製造装置では、溶湯を金型に射出後のビスケット部・ランナー部・製品部・エアベント部からなる「鋳放し状態品」を取り出すタイミングは、「鋳放し状態品」全体が凝固してから行っていた。凝固する速度は、ビスケット部・ランナー部。製品部・エアベント部によって異なる。凝固速度は肉厚の2乗に比例する。一例として製品厚さを3mmとすると、製品部の冷却時間は3mm⇒約0.09秒となり、ビスケット部を30mmとすると製品部の冷却時間は30mm⇒9秒の冷却時間が必要となる。殆どの場合、肉厚の厚いビスケット部が最も遅くなり、ビスケット部の凝固速度が、ダイカスト製品製造のサイクルタイム、つまり生産性を決定していた。 In conventional die-casting manufacturing equipment, the timing for taking out the "as-cast product" consisting of the biscuit part, runner part, product part, and air vent part after injecting the molten metal into the mold is when the entire "as-cast product" has solidified. I went there after that. The solidification speed is determined by the biscuit and runner parts. Varies depending on product section and air vent section. The solidification rate is proportional to the square of the wall thickness. As an example, if the product thickness is 3 mm, the cooling time of the product part will be 3 mm ⇒ approximately 0.09 seconds, and if the biscuit part is 30 mm, the cooling time of the product part will be 30 mm ⇒ 9 seconds. In most cases, the thick-walled biscuit section solidifies the slowest, and the solidification rate of the biscuit section determines the cycle time, or productivity, of die-cast product manufacturing.
 本発明では、ランナー部に押し込むランナー加圧ピンにより製品部とビスケットを切り離す構成にしたことにより、凝固時間の長いビスケット部の凝固時間を待たず製品部のみが凝固した時点で金型を開け、製品部を取り出すことができるため、サイクルタイムが短縮され、ダイカスト製品製造の生産性を向上することができる。例えば、製品部厚さを3mmとし、ビスケット部を30mmとした場合、「鋳放し状態品」を取り出す時間が、9秒から0.09秒に短縮することとなり、サイクルタイムが大幅に短縮して生産性を向上できる。また、取出し時の製品部分についても今までよりも凝固状態が進んでいない状態で取り出すことができるため、製品変形、取出し時のカジリが少なくなるという効果も得られる。 In the present invention, the product part and the biscuit are separated by a runner pressure pin that is pushed into the runner part, so that the mold is opened when only the product part has solidified, without waiting for the long solidification time of the biscuit part. Since the product part can be taken out, cycle time can be shortened and productivity in die-cast product manufacturing can be improved. For example, if the thickness of the product part is 3 mm and the thickness of the biscuit part is 30 mm, the time to take out the "as-cast product" will be shortened from 9 seconds to 0.09 seconds, which will significantly shorten the cycle time. Productivity can be improved. Furthermore, since the product can be taken out in a state where the solidification state is less advanced than before, product deformation and galling during removal can be reduced.
 ランナー部を押し込むランナー加圧ピンでランナー部にて製品部とビスケット部を切り離すためには、金型が開いたときにランナー部がビスケット部の自重で切断されビスケット部が落下する必要がある。このために、ランナー部径とランナー加圧ピン径にて形成される隙間をビスケット部が自重落下する程度の肉厚以下とする。また、同程度の隙間は、ランナー加圧時に溶湯の逆流が無くなる隙間である。逆流が無いため、第1加圧手段で既に充填されている製品部に、ランナー加圧ピンによる第2加圧により溶湯を高圧で押し込む構成となる。ランナー部へのランナー加圧ピンの押し込み動作開始を、製品部の金型に接する近辺は凝固しているが、製品の中央部は固まっていないタイミングとすることにより、凝固前の製品部溶湯を押し込み、効果的に密度を高めることができる。 In order to separate the product part and the biscuit part at the runner part using the runner pressure pin that pushes the runner part, when the mold is opened, the runner part must be cut by the weight of the biscuit part and the biscuit part must fall. For this purpose, the gap formed by the diameter of the runner part and the diameter of the runner pressurizing pin is made to have a wall thickness below which the biscuit part falls under its own weight. Moreover, the gap of the same degree is a gap that prevents the molten metal from flowing back when the runner is pressurized. Since there is no backflow, the molten metal is forced into the product part already filled by the first pressurizing means at high pressure by the second pressurizing pin using the runner pressurizing pin. By starting the pushing operation of the runner pressure pin into the runner part at a time when the product part is solidified near the mold, but the center part of the product is not yet solidified, the molten metal in the product part before solidification can be removed. It can be pressed and effectively increase the density.
 さらに、加圧ピンのストローク(シリンダのストロークでもよい)をモニタリングすれば、押し込まれた溶湯の量を測定することができるため、鋳造中に製品の品質を確認することができる。 Furthermore, by monitoring the stroke of the pressure pin (or the stroke of the cylinder), the amount of molten metal pushed can be measured, making it possible to check the quality of the product during casting.
 製品部とビスケット部を分断させない従来のランナー加圧では、冷却後の製品部取出しチャッキング部がビスケット部となるが、取出し時にビスケット部と製品部が分断しないようなランナー部径とランナー加圧ピン径とする必要があり、逆流が出来るだけ少なく、分断しない隙間調整が必要となるが、本発明のようにランナー加圧・分断方式では、逆流が皆無となるので、ストローク量と製品重量アップ量が等しくなり、管理が容易となる。 In conventional runner pressurization that does not separate the product part and biscuit part, the chucking part that takes out the product part after cooling becomes the biscuit part, but the runner part diameter and runner pressure do not separate the biscuit part and product part when taking out the product part. It is necessary to adjust the pin diameter to minimize backflow and prevent separation, but with the runner pressurization/separation method as in the present invention, there is no backflow at all, which increases the stroke amount and product weight. The amount becomes equal and management becomes easier.

 以下に、本発明の実施例に係るダイカスト製造方法と製造装置を、図面を参照しつつ、詳細に説明する。なお、以下の説明は一つの実施例に過ぎず、本発明の趣旨を変えない限り、本発明には種々の変形例を含み得るものである。 Hereinafter, a die casting manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description is only one example, and the present invention may include various modifications as long as the gist of the present invention is not changed.
 図1に第1実施例に係るダイカスト製造装置の要部断面図を示している。ダイカスト製造装置10は、移動盤12に取り付けた可動金型14と、固定盤16に取り付けた固定金型18とを備え、両金型14、18を当接することにより形成されるキャビティ20内に溶湯を射出し、キャビティ20に倣った形状の製品ができあがる。ダイカスト製品は金型14、18を離反させ、可動金型14の背面部に設けた押し出しピン22を作動させてキャビティ20から取り出すことができる。 FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the main parts of a die-casting manufacturing apparatus according to a first embodiment. The die casting manufacturing apparatus 10 includes a movable die 14 attached to a movable platen 12 and a fixed die 18 attached to a fixed platen 16. The molten metal is injected, and a product shaped like the cavity 20 is completed. The die-cast product can be taken out from the cavity 20 by separating the molds 14 and 18 and activating the push-out pin 22 provided on the back side of the movable mold 14.
 このようなダイカスト製造装置10のキャビティ20に溶湯を供給するための射出部として給湯手段24がキャビティ20の下位に位置して配置されている。これは固定盤16を水平に貫通して取り付けられ固定金型18に達する射出スリーブ26と、射出スリーブ26内に配設されたプランジャー28と、プランジャー28の後方にあってプランジャー28を押し引き出来る加圧装置と、からなる第1加圧手段30から構成される。 A hot water supply means 24 is disposed below the cavity 20 as an injection part for supplying molten metal to the cavity 20 of the die casting manufacturing apparatus 10. This includes an injection sleeve 26 that is installed horizontally through the fixed platen 16 and reaches the fixed mold 18, a plunger 28 disposed inside the injection sleeve 26, and a plunger 28 located behind the plunger 28. It is composed of a pressurizing device capable of pushing and pulling, and a first pressurizing means 30.
 射出スリーブ26の前端にはビスケット31を経てキャビティ20に至る溶湯の通路となるランナー32が形成されており、このランナー32は、射出スリーブ26からほぼ水平に延長された分流子ランナー部34と、キャビティ20の下部に直結するように上方向に向きを変えた立上りランナー部36とからなり、第1加圧手段22のプランジャー28によって押し出された溶湯が、分流子ランナー部34を経由し、立上りランナー部36によって上方に向きを変え、キャビティ20に射出噴射するように構成されている。 A runner 32 is formed at the front end of the injection sleeve 26 and serves as a path for the molten metal to reach the cavity 20 via the biscuit 31. It consists of a rising runner part 36 that is oriented upward so as to be directly connected to the lower part of the cavity 20, and the molten metal pushed out by the plunger 28 of the first pressurizing means 22 passes through the separator runner part 34, It is configured to change direction upward by the rising runner section 36 and inject into the cavity 20.
 このようなランナー32における立上りランナー部36には、キャビティ20内の溶湯を二次的に加圧せしめる第2加圧手段38が設けられている。この第2加圧手段38は、金型14、18の下部に装備されたアクチュエータ(油圧シリンダ)40と、これによって立上りランナー部36の下部から上部にかけて出入り動作するように取り付けられた加圧ピン42とから構成されている。加圧ピン42の直径dは立上りランナー部36の内径Dより小さくするが、略同径にして、加圧ピン42の立上りランナー部34における上下摺動を可能としつつ、溶湯の分断遮蔽ができるようにしている。したがって、加圧ピン42の立上りランナー部36への圧入量がキャビティ20による製品の密度を向上させることになる。 The rising runner portion 36 of such a runner 32 is provided with a second pressurizing means 38 that secondarily pressurizes the molten metal within the cavity 20. This second pressurizing means 38 includes an actuator (hydraulic cylinder) 40 installed at the bottom of the molds 14 and 18, and a pressurizing pin attached to move in and out from the bottom to the top of the rising runner section 36. It consists of 42. The diameter d of the pressure pin 42 is made smaller than the inner diameter D of the rising runner part 36, but by making it approximately the same diameter, it is possible to divide and shield the molten metal while allowing the pressure pin 42 to slide up and down in the rising runner part 34. That's what I do. Therefore, the amount of press-fitting of the press pin 42 into the rising runner portion 36 improves the density of the product produced by the cavity 20.
 本実施例では、特に、立上りランナー部36と分流子ランナー部34の交差部(図2(1)のA-B区間)から上方の立上りランナー部36のゲートに至る直線通路において、加圧ピン42のストローク末端(図2(1)のC)までの区域(図2(1)のA-C区間)の内径Dを、加圧ピン42の外径dとした場合、D=d+0.1mm~d+0.5mmとしている。望ましくは、D=d+0.2mm~d+0.4mmに設定している。これは加圧ピン42の可動域を確保し、かつ溶湯が隙間に入り込まないようにするためである。 In this embodiment, in particular, the pressurizing pin is placed in the straight path from the intersection of the rising runner section 36 and the shunt runner section 34 (A-B section in FIG. 2(1)) to the gate of the rising runner section 36 above. If the inner diameter D of the area (A-C section in FIG. 2 (1)) up to the stroke end (C in FIG. 2 (1)) of the pressure pin 42 is the outer diameter d of the pressure pin 42, then D = d + 0.1 mm. ~d+0.5mm. Preferably, D=d+0.2 mm to d+0.4 mm. This is to ensure the movable range of the pressure pin 42 and to prevent molten metal from entering the gap.
 このように構成された第2加圧手段38は、第1加圧手段30のプランジャー28による射出が完了した後に、図2(1)Aに示すような位置から加圧し始め、同図Bに示すように加圧ピン42が丁度分流子ランナー部34を遮断すると、当該部分で製品部35とビスケット部31の分断作用を発揮する。このため、加圧ピン42の押し込み操作によって図2(1)Cに至ると、キャビティ20内への溶湯充填量が増し、加圧ピン42のストロークが長くなって製造工程を完了するのである。このとき、キャビティ20におけるダイカスト製品部35とビスケット31とは、完全に切り離されているので、図3に示すように、ダイカスト製品部35の凝固時間で金型14,18を型開させ、ビスケット部31がまだ温度が高く、冷え切っていなくても、ダイカスト製品35をチャックロボット41によ取り出し、分断されているビスケット部31側を自重で落下させることができる。
 これらの駆動制御は別途に設けた制御部により行わせればよい。
After the injection by the plunger 28 of the first pressurizing means 30 is completed, the second pressurizing means 38 configured in this way starts pressurizing from the position shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the pressure pin 42 just blocks the diverter runner portion 34, the product portion 35 and the biscuit portion 31 are separated from each other at that portion. Therefore, when the state shown in FIG. 2(1)C is reached by pushing the pressure pin 42, the amount of molten metal filled into the cavity 20 increases, the stroke of the pressure pin 42 becomes longer, and the manufacturing process is completed. At this time, the die-cast product part 35 and the biscuit 31 in the cavity 20 are completely separated, so the molds 14 and 18 are opened during the solidification time of the die-cast product part 35, and the biscuit Even if the part 31 is still at a high temperature and has not completely cooled down, the die-cast product 35 can be taken out by the chuck robot 41 and the divided biscuit part 31 side can be dropped by its own weight.
These drive controls may be performed by a separately provided control section.
 このように、ランナー部に押し込むランナー加圧ピン42により製品部とビスケット部31を切り離す構成にしたことにより、凝固時間の長いビスケット部31の凝固時間を待たず製品部のみが凝固した時点で金型14、18を開け、製品部を取り出すことができるため、サイクルタイムが短縮され、ダイカスト製品製造の生産性を向上することができる。製品部厚さを3mmとし、ビスケット部31を30mmとした場合、「鋳放し状態品」を取り出す時間が、9秒から0.09秒に短縮することとない、サイクルタイムが短縮して生産性を向上できる。また、取出し時の製品部分についても今までよりも凝固状態が進んでいない状態で取り出すことができるため、製品変形、取出し時のカジリが少なくなるという効果も得られる。 In this way, the product part and the biscuit part 31 are separated by the runner pressurizing pin 42 pushed into the runner part, so that the product part can be melted when only the product part has solidified, without waiting for the solidification time of the biscuit part 31, which takes a long time. Since the molds 14 and 18 can be opened and the product parts can be taken out, cycle time can be shortened and productivity in manufacturing die-cast products can be improved. When the product part thickness is 3 mm and the biscuit part 31 is 30 mm, the time to take out the "as-cast product" is reduced from 9 seconds to 0.09 seconds, and the cycle time is shortened and productivity is improved. can be improved. Furthermore, since the product can be taken out in a state where the solidification state is less advanced than before, product deformation and galling during removal can be reduced.
 ランナー部31を押し込むランナー加圧ピン42でランナー部31にて製品部とビスケット部31を切り離すためには、金型14、18が開いたときにランナー部がビスケット部31の自重で切断されビスケット部31が落下する必要がある。このために、ランナー部31の直径とランナー加圧ピン42の直径にて形成される隙間をビスケット部31が自重落下する程度の肉厚以下とする。また、同程度の隙間は、ランナー加圧時に溶湯の逆流が無くなる隙間である。逆流が無いため、第1加圧手段24で既に充填されている製品部に、ランナー加圧ピン42による第2加圧により溶湯を高圧で押し込む構成となる。ランナー部へのランナー加圧ピン42の押し込み動作開始を、製品部の金型に接する近辺は凝固しているが、製品の中央部は固まっていないタイミングとすることにより、凝固前の製品部溶湯を押し込み、効果的に密度を高めることができる。 In order to separate the product part and the biscuit part 31 at the runner part 31 using the runner pressure pin 42 that pushes the runner part 31, when the molds 14 and 18 are opened, the runner part is cut by the weight of the biscuit part 31 and the biscuit part is separated. 31 must fall. For this purpose, the gap formed by the diameter of the runner section 31 and the diameter of the runner pressurizing pin 42 is made to have a wall thickness below which the biscuit section 31 falls under its own weight. Moreover, the gap of the same degree is a gap that prevents the molten metal from flowing back when the runner is pressurized. Since there is no backflow, the molten metal is forced into the product part already filled by the first pressurizing means 24 at high pressure by the second pressurization by the runner pressurizing pin 42. By starting the pushing operation of the runner pressurizing pin 42 into the runner part at a time when the product part is solidified near the mold, but the central part of the product is not yet solidified, the molten metal in the product part before solidification is can be pushed in, effectively increasing the density.
 この結果、ダイカスト製品時間がサイクルタイムとして利用することができ、ビスケットの冷却時間に左右されなくなる。また、特にダイカスト製品取り出しにビスケット31を持たなくてもよいので、製品変形や製品取出し時のカジリも生じなくなる。 As a result, the die-casting product time can be used as cycle time and is no longer dependent on biscuit cooling time. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to hold the biscuit 31 when taking out the die-cast product, deformation of the product and galling when taking out the product do not occur.
 また、ランナー加圧ピンを用いてダイカスト製品とビスケット部を切り離すとともに、製品の中央部は固まっていない状態で加圧することができ、ダイカスト製品部に溶湯を従来の型締力(投影面積*鋳造圧力)を維持しながら、より高い鋳造圧力で押込みすることができ(約70MPa⇒約280MPa)、内部密度を著しく高めることができる。 In addition, the runner pressure pin can be used to separate the die-cast product and the biscuit part, and the center part of the product can be pressurized while it is not solidified. It is possible to indent at a higher casting pressure (approximately 70 MPa⇒approximately 280 MPa) while maintaining the same pressure (approximately 70 MPa⇒approximately 280 MPa), and the internal density can be significantly increased.
 なお、図2(2)には加圧ピン42の変形例を示す。これは立上りランナー部36の入口部に直径Dを持つ環状突起43を設けたものである。環状突起43の内径Dと加圧ピン42の直径dは、D=d+0.1mm~d+0.5mmとしている。望ましくは、D=d+0.2mm~d+0.4mmに設定している。そして、立上りランナー36の直径EはDより大きい径とし寸法はラフでよい。このように構成することにより環状突起43と加圧ピン42とのギャップは殆ど無く、この隙間から溶湯が漏れ出ることはない。図2(1)の例に比べリング体であるため加工が容易となる利点がでる。 Note that FIG. 2(2) shows a modification of the pressure pin 42. This is provided with an annular projection 43 having a diameter D at the entrance of the rising runner section 36. The inner diameter D of the annular protrusion 43 and the diameter d of the pressure pin 42 are set to D=d+0.1 mm to d+0.5 mm. Preferably, D=d+0.2 mm to d+0.4 mm. The diameter E of the rising runner 36 may be larger than D, and the dimensions may be rough. With this configuration, there is almost no gap between the annular protrusion 43 and the pressure pin 42, and molten metal will not leak out from this gap. Compared to the example shown in FIG. 2(1), since it is a ring body, it has the advantage of being easier to process.
 さらに、加圧ピンのストローク(シリンダーのストロークでもいい)をモニタリングすれば鋳造中に製品の品質を確認できる。ランナー加圧分断方式は逆流が皆無になるので ストロークUPし、製品重量UPとなるので管理が容易となっている。これはつぎのような構成によって実現できる。図4はピンストローク検出装置の構成図である。図に示すように、加圧ピン42の上昇時の油圧排出経路44には、排出油量から主アクチュエータ40のピストン駆動量、ひいては加圧ピン42のストロークを計測するようにしている。このストローク検出装置46は、シリンダピストン構造によって構成され、これはシリンダ本体48とこの内部を摺動できるピストン50から構成されている。シリンダ本体48のピストン50で区画された一方の部屋は、加圧ピン42の作動油出口と接続され、他方の部屋は方向切替弁52と接続されている。これによって、主アクチュエータ40から出た作動油は、その出た分だけストローク検出装置76に入り込み、ピストン50が動かされる。ピストン50にはロッド54が一体的に設けられ、これはシリンダ本体48の一方の端部から突出してリニア型のポテンショメータ56に連結されている。ロッド54の作動開始点はシリンダ本体48の一端部側(図3において左端)とされ、このとき加圧ピン42の加圧開始点(図3において下端)に一致している。リニア型ポテンショメータ56はロッド54と平行に配置され、ロッド54とともに移動し、その移動距離を求める。このようなストローク検出装置46において、そのピストン50には、当該ピストン50よって仕切られる部屋同士を連通する貫通孔が設けられ、この貫通孔に逆止弁58及びオリフィス(絞り弁)60が取り付けられている。この逆止弁58は加圧ピン42の作動油の入る部屋から方向切替弁52側の部屋に押し出される作動油の通流を阻止し、逆方向への通流を許容する一方向弁とされる。これにより、加圧ピン42が加圧動作をなすときの作動油の全量がストローク検出装置46により検出される。オリフィス(絞り弁)59は逆止弁58の流量を規制する。また逆止弁58のクラッキング圧力(ばね力)が弱いとピストンが止まった状態で逆止弁を流れてしまうので、流量を絞ることで解決できるようになっている。
 なお、上記のような動作系統を制御する制御手段が別途に設けられ、適正に稼働するように制御する。
Furthermore, by monitoring the stroke of the pressure pin (or cylinder stroke), you can check the quality of the product during casting. The runner pressure separation method eliminates backflow at all, increasing the stroke and increasing the product weight, making management easier. This can be achieved by the following configuration. FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the pin stroke detection device. As shown in the figure, the piston drive amount of the main actuator 40 and, in turn, the stroke of the pressure pin 42 are measured from the amount of discharged oil in the hydraulic discharge path 44 when the pressure pin 42 is raised. The stroke detection device 46 has a cylinder-piston structure, which includes a cylinder body 48 and a piston 50 that can slide inside the cylinder body 48. One chamber defined by the piston 50 of the cylinder body 48 is connected to the hydraulic oil outlet of the pressurizing pin 42, and the other chamber is connected to the direction switching valve 52. As a result, the amount of hydraulic oil discharged from the main actuator 40 enters the stroke detection device 76, and the piston 50 is moved. A rod 54 is integrally provided on the piston 50, and this rod 54 protrudes from one end of the cylinder body 48 and is connected to a linear potentiometer 56. The starting point of the rod 54 is at one end of the cylinder body 48 (the left end in FIG. 3), which coincides with the pressure starting point of the pressure pin 42 (the lower end in FIG. 3). A linear potentiometer 56 is arranged parallel to the rod 54, moves together with the rod 54, and determines the distance traveled by the rod 54. In such a stroke detection device 46, the piston 50 is provided with a through hole that communicates between the chambers partitioned by the piston 50, and a check valve 58 and an orifice (throttle valve) 60 are attached to this through hole. ing. The check valve 58 is a one-way valve that blocks the flow of hydraulic oil pushed out from the chamber of the pressure pin 42 into the chamber on the direction switching valve 52 side, and allows the flow in the opposite direction. Ru. As a result, the stroke detection device 46 detects the total amount of hydraulic fluid when the pressure pin 42 performs the pressurizing operation. An orifice (throttle valve) 59 regulates the flow rate of the check valve 58 . Furthermore, if the cracking pressure (spring force) of the check valve 58 is weak, the fluid will flow through the check valve while the piston is stopped, so this can be solved by restricting the flow rate.
Note that a control means for controlling the above-mentioned operating system is separately provided, and is controlled to operate properly.
 このような加圧ピン42のストローク検出装置46を設けることによって、加圧ピンの正確なモニタリングができ、この作業だけでダイカスト製品の2次加圧量を計測することができる。 By providing such a stroke detection device 46 for the pressure pin 42, the pressure pin can be accurately monitored, and the amount of secondary pressurization of the die-cast product can be measured just by this operation.
 次に図5には「センターゲート製法」への適用例を示す。「センターゲート製法」では、円形・円錐状態の形状部品等や点対称部品に適用されるが、充填バランスを良くするためにキャビティ66の中心部から溶湯を充填させるようにして用いられる。 Next, FIG. 5 shows an example of application to the "center gate manufacturing method". The "center gate manufacturing method" is applied to circular/conical shaped parts and point-symmetric parts, and is used by filling the molten metal from the center of the cavity 66 in order to improve the filling balance.
 このセンターゲート製法を実施する装置は、図5に示すように、固定金型60と可動金型62の間に、第2可動金型64を設け、可動金型(以下、第1可動金型という。)62と第2可動金型64の間に円形のキャビティ66を形成し、このキャビティ66とランナー68を繋ぐスプール70を当該第2可動金型64に形成している。スプール70は、円錐形に形成されており、頂点部は円形キャビティ66の中心部に位置し、その頂点から溶湯を供給することによりスプール70を通じてキャビティ66の全体に溶湯が行き渡るものである。ランナー68は固定金型60の型合わせ面に形成され、スプール70の頂点部から直角に屈曲して下方に延びており、固定金型60の下方に設けられ、水平に伸びたプランジャースリーブ72に通じている。プランジャースリーブ72にはプランジャー74が内挿され、図示しないアクチュエータにより溶湯を射出する1次加圧するようになっている。このプランジャー74を含む加圧手段が第1加圧手段76である。 As shown in FIG. 5, the apparatus for implementing this center gate manufacturing method includes a second movable mold 64 provided between a fixed mold 60 and a movable mold 62, and a movable mold (hereinafter referred to as a first movable mold). ) 62 and the second movable mold 64, and a spool 70 connecting the cavity 66 and the runner 68 is formed in the second movable mold 64. The spool 70 is formed into a conical shape, and the apex is located at the center of the circular cavity 66. By supplying the molten metal from the apex, the molten metal is distributed throughout the cavity 66 through the spool 70. The runner 68 is formed on the mold matching surface of the fixed mold 60 and extends downward at right angles from the apex of the spool 70, and is connected to the plunger sleeve 72 provided below the fixed mold 60 and extending horizontally. It is familiar to A plunger 74 is inserted into the plunger sleeve 72, and an actuator (not shown) applies primary pressure to inject the molten metal. Pressurizing means including this plunger 74 is first pressurizing means 76 .
 前記スプール70の頂点に対向して、固定金型60側には第2加圧手段80が設けられている。これは加圧シリンダ82とこれから出入りされる加圧ピン84からなり、加圧ピン84を第2可動金型64に形成されたスプール70の頂点部に向けて出入りするように構成されている。具体的には、詳細を図5の拡大部に示しているように、ランナー68とスプール70とを繋ぐ箇所に設けられた屈曲通路86を加圧ピン84の出入り通路とし、これは第2可動金型64の内部に形成されており、キャビティ66に繋がる通路となる。加圧ピン84はランナー68を横断し、屈曲通路86に至った途端、キャビティ66の加圧をなす。 A second pressurizing means 80 is provided on the fixed mold 60 side opposite to the apex of the spool 70. This consists of a pressure cylinder 82 and a pressure pin 84 that moves in and out from the pressure cylinder 82, and is configured so that the pressure pin 84 moves in and out toward the top of the spool 70 formed in the second movable mold 64. Specifically, as shown in detail in the enlarged part of FIG. 5, a bending passage 86 provided at a location connecting the runner 68 and the spool 70 is used as an entry/exit passage for the pressure pin 84, and this is the second movable passage. It is formed inside the mold 64 and serves as a passageway connected to the cavity 66. Pressure pin 84 traverses runner 68 and pressurizes cavity 66 once it reaches bent passage 86 .
 ここで屈曲通路86の内径Dと、加圧ピン84の外径dの関係は、D=d+0.1mm~d+0.5mmとしている。望ましくは、D=d+0.2mm~d+0.4mmに設定している。これは加圧ピン84の可動域を確保し、かつ溶湯が隙間に入り込まないようにするためである。図5の拡大図に示すように(同図下部の図)、加圧ピン84による押し込み量がキャビティ66への加圧量となるのである。 Here, the relationship between the inner diameter D of the bent passage 86 and the outer diameter d of the pressure pin 84 is set to D=d+0.1 mm to d+0.5 mm. Preferably, D=d+0.2 mm to d+0.4 mm. This is to ensure the movable range of the pressure pin 84 and to prevent molten metal from entering the gap. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 5 (the lower part of the figure), the amount of push by the pressure pin 84 is the amount of pressure applied to the cavity 66.
 この「センターゲート製法」の実際の作業工程に従って説明すれば、まず、型締状態では第1加圧手段76、ゲート切断用油圧シリンダ78、第2加圧手段80も待機状態にあり、最初にプランジャースリーブ72の注湯口から溶湯を注湯する。その後、注湯が完了したら第1加圧手段76の作動を開始し、高速移動させるとともに前進限で低速高圧の射出を行って完了する。溶湯アルミはランナー68に入り、上昇して屈曲通路86を経て、スプール70からキャビティ66に充填される。その後、第1加圧手段76による射出動作が完了した後、第2加圧手段80による二次加圧が行われる。これは第2加圧手段80の待機位置(図5拡大図上図)から加圧シリンダ82により加圧ピン84を押し出し、ランナー68を横断し、屈曲通路86に至って加圧ピン84が溶湯の分断遮蔽機能を発揮する。このため、加圧ピン84による分断機能によって、キャビティ66内への溶湯充填量が増し、加圧ピン84による押し込み動作により、ストロークが長くなって作業を完了するのである。次いで第2可動金型64を含んで第1可動金型62が後退し、中間型の片開が行われる。これによってランナー68がキャビティ66側に付いた状態となる。この型開の状態では、ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部31とは分断されているため、ビスケット取出しが簡単に行われる。最終的に第1可動金型62を更に後退移動させ、中間型の第2可動金型64と第1可動金型62の間を拡開し、キャビティ66から製品を取り出して終了するのである。 To explain the actual work process of this "center gate manufacturing method," first, in the mold clamping state, the first pressurizing means 76, the gate cutting hydraulic cylinder 78, and the second pressurizing means 80 are also in a standby state. Molten metal is poured from the pouring port of the plunger sleeve 72. Thereafter, when pouring is completed, the first pressurizing means 76 is started to move at high speed, and injection is completed at low speed and high pressure at the forward limit. Molten aluminum enters runner 68 and rises through curved passageway 86 and from spool 70 to fill cavity 66 . Thereafter, after the injection operation by the first pressurizing means 76 is completed, secondary pressurizing by the second pressurizing means 80 is performed. This is done by pushing out the pressure pin 84 by the pressure cylinder 82 from the standby position of the second pressure means 80 (upper part of the enlarged view of FIG. 5), crossing the runner 68, reaching the bending passage 86, and pushing the pressure pin 84 out of the molten metal. Demonstrates a dividing and shielding function. Therefore, the dividing function of the pressure pin 84 increases the amount of molten metal filled into the cavity 66, and the pushing operation of the pressure pin 84 lengthens the stroke to complete the work. Next, the first movable mold 62 including the second movable mold 64 is moved back, and the intermediate mold is opened to one side. This causes the runner 68 to be attached to the cavity 66 side. In this mold-opened state, the die-cast product part and the biscuit part 31 are separated, so that the biscuit can be easily taken out. Finally, the first movable mold 62 is further moved backward, the space between the intermediate second movable mold 64 and the first movable mold 62 is expanded, and the product is taken out from the cavity 66.
 このように「センターゲート製法」によれば、キャビティ66の中心部に位置するスプール70の加圧をなす第2加圧手段80の加圧ピン84が製品部に至る屈曲通路86を遮蔽し、溶湯の逆流を完全に遮蔽して圧力を維持し、もって製品部への追加加圧が可能となる。ひいてはランナー68の下部に第2加圧手段80を置かなくてもよくなり、第2加圧手段80が邪魔になることはない。 In this way, according to the "center gate manufacturing method", the pressure pin 84 of the second pressure means 80 that pressurizes the spool 70 located in the center of the cavity 66 blocks the bending passage 86 leading to the product part, The pressure is maintained by completely blocking the backflow of the molten metal, making it possible to apply additional pressure to the product section. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to place the second pressurizing means 80 below the runner 68, and the second pressurizing means 80 does not get in the way.
 このようにセンターゲート製法によっても本発明の効果は十分得られる。すなわち、本実施例によれば、まずゲート切断用油圧シリンダを置く必要がない。置くとしてもランナー部を第2可動金型64から剥がすだけのものでよい。ダイカスト製品部とビスケット部31とが分断されるため、ダイカスト製品部が冷却固化するまでの時間でサイクルを組むことができ、ビスケット部31は加熱途中で完全に冷却しなくてもよいため、製品製造サイクルタイムを大幅に削減することができることとなる。 As described above, the effects of the present invention can be sufficiently obtained by the center gate manufacturing method. That is, according to this embodiment, there is no need to first place a hydraulic cylinder for gate cutting. Even if it is placed, it is sufficient to simply peel off the runner portion from the second movable mold 64. Since the die-cast product part and the biscuit part 31 are separated, the cycle can be set up in the time it takes for the die-cast product part to cool and solidify, and the biscuit part 31 does not need to be completely cooled during heating, so This means that manufacturing cycle time can be significantly reduced.
 本発明は、型締された金型に第1加圧手段により溶湯を射出した後、第2加圧手段によりキャビティに直結するランナーを通じて第2加圧を行うに際し、第1加圧手段により溶湯をキャビティに充填完了した状態でダイカスト製品部とビスケット部を切り離し第2加圧手段により加圧することができ、製品製造サイクルタイムを短くすることができる。 In the present invention, after the molten metal is injected into the clamped mold by the first pressurizing means, when the second pressurizing means performs the second pressurization through the runner directly connected to the cavity, the first pressurizing means is used to inject the molten metal. After filling the cavity, the die-cast product part and the biscuit part can be separated and pressurized by the second pressurizing means, thereby shortening the product manufacturing cycle time.
