摘要:
Molding sand filled in a space defined by a pattern plate and a flask is pre-compacted before the molding sand is completely pressed. A pre-compacting member is inserted into the molding sand toward the pattern plate, and then is stopped based on a predetermined depth of the pre-compacting member in the molding sand or a predetermined pressure caused by the pre-compacting member in the molding sand.

An apparatus for making a mold is provided. It comprises a table (5), on which a pattern plate (6) is attached, a flask (7), the bottom surface of which can be fitted to the pattern plate (6), a filling frame (30), the bottom surface of which can be fitted to the upper surface of the flask (7), and in which the highest part of its opening is smaller than the lowest part of its opening, a blow head (17), which is used for blowing in molding sand, and for squeezing the blown-in molding sand, and which is placed above the table (5), and a thin plate body (20), which can be inserted into the blown-in molding sand and which is placed around a sand holder (12) that is a part of the blow head (17), in which the highest part of the opening of the filling frame (30) has such a size that the outer surface of the thin plate body (20) can contact the inner surface of the highest part of the filling frame (30), and in which the size and shape of the lowest part of the opening of the filling frame (30) are the same as those of the opening of the flask (7). This apparatus is useful, since the molding sand is uniformly supplied, no Katsugi occurs, and no molding sand spills from the flask or the filling frame.

A method of making a well-compacted mold by using a vacuum air flow is provided. In the method, molding sand (5) is fed into a space defined by a pattern plate (2) and a flask (3) mounted on the pattern plate (2), and the space is enclosed at the upper part of the flask (3) by a cover (6). The air in the enclosed space is evacuated to reduce the air pressure between the grains of the molding sand in the enclosed space to 1 Torr to 150 Torr, and then air is introduced into the enclosed space from the upper part of the space so that the pressure in the space can increase at the rate of 15 atm/s to compress the molding sand (5). The method eliminates the need for vent holes and enables the mold to be crack-free since the air flow is not reflected.
摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed of less mechanical rigidity and less strength for producing a mold. It includes a table (7) movable between an area where molding sand is fed and a mold-producing area for carrying a pattern plate (12) on which a flask (13) is mounted, a cylinder (9) for vertically moving the table, a closing cover (18) having an opening at the lower part thereof, the opening communicating with an upper opening of the flask, the closing cover having a stepped part such that the cross-sectional area of the lower part of the closing cover is smaller than that of the upper part thereof, at least one air-supply pipe (28) for communicating with the upper part of the closing cover, an air valve (29) for communicating with the air-supply pipe to introduce ambient air into the air-supply pipe, an opening (24) formed in an upper and side part of the closing cover for communicating with a vacuum source (27), and a press plate (23) suspended in the closing cover for a vertical movement such that the press plate can be airtightly inserted into the small lower part of the closing cover.

A molding machine for producing a mold by pressing molding sand fed into a space defined by a pattern plate and a flask is disclosed. The machine includes a lifter table (3) for lifting the pattern plate (9) and flask (10) which hold the molding sand (S), and a pre-compacting member (16) and a pressing member (17) disposed above the lifter table (3) for horizontal movement and for being inserted into the flask (10) when the lifter table lifts the flask. The pre-compacting member (16) includes a thin-plate body (16A) to be positioned slightly spaced apart from an inner surface of the flask (10) or inner and outer surfaces of a pattern (9A) when inserted into the molding sand (S) held in the flask (10). The pressing member (17) includes a squeezing body (17A) that presses the molding sand from above.
