摘要:
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.

摘要:
The apparatus supplies compressed air to molding sand (S) in a flask (26,27). A compressed air reservoir is constituted by a cover (14) and a surface-plate frame (7) having a compressed-air outlet port (6) which can be opened/closed by a vertically movable piston (12) and a sectioning devie (10) constituted by concentrically disposed large and small cylindrical members (10a,10b) secured to a cover member (10c) having air feed holes (11), between the cylindrical members (10a, 10b), and by connecting ducts (10d) for communicating the outside of the large cylindrical member (10a) with the inside of the small cylindrical member (10b). As an alternative to this, the sectioning device (60) is composed of a cylindrical member (60a) extending vertically and having a spur-like cross-sectional shape (Fig. 5) and a cover member (60b) hermetically secured to the lower end portion of the cylindrical member (60a) and having a spur-like air feed hole (61) communicated with the inside space of the cylindrical member (60a). When the piston (12) is moved upwards, compressed air in the reservoir is quickly discharged by a large quantity through the outlet port (6) via the sectioning device (10,60).
