Disclosed is a molding machine for simultaneously making upper and lower molds with cope and drag flasks, a matchplate, upper and lower squeezing boards, and a lower filling frame. This machine also includes a cylinder for raising and lowering the lower squeezing board, a driving mechanism that includes pneumatic and hydraulic piping systems for driving the cylinder using an air-on-oil system, and a controller for controlling the driving mechanism. The drag flask, the matchplate, the filling frame, and the lower board define a lower molding space, while the matchplate, the upper board, and the cope flask define an upper molding space such that the controller controls the driving mechanism to drive the cylinder at a low pressure. The lower squeezing board is raised to squeeze the molding sand for simultaneously making the two molds such that the controller controls the driving mechanism to drive the cylinder at a high pressure.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for green sand molding that prevents a bad casting by producing a mold that does not have a brittle surface. The method comprises the steps of filling the green sand into a flask while fluidizing the green sand by aeration at a pressure between 0.05 and 0.18 MPa, and squeezing the green sand that has been filled in the flask, wherein a mold is produced so that the friability of the mold is 10 or less. The friability is a value that is calculated by the following steps: putting the mold in a rotating cylindrical sieve that has a diameter of 177.8 mm and USA sieve size No. 8, rotating the cylindrical sieve at 57 rpm for 60 seconds, dividing the weight of the sand that has passed through the sieve by the weight of the sand that has been put into the sieve, and multiplying the quotient by 100.

A flask for containing mold sand within it prevents any mold shifting or mold dropping. Each of an upper flask 2 and a lower flask 3 includes a body that defines an opening in which a sand mold is to be molded. The body has at least one inlet 101 for introducing the mold sand into the opening. Two flanges 102 are extended from the body such that they are opposed to each other across the opening. Each flange has a through bore. The flask also includes engaging members for engaging an actuator in the outside of the flask such that a force or forces from said actuator could be transmitted to the flask. An upper flask 104 and a lower flask 105 are opposed to each other across a pattern plate 107. They are integrally assembled to make a flask unit by means of a pair of connecting rods 106 that are fitted in each bore.

A method and a device for producing tight-flask molds, in as short a cycle as possible, is provided. The method of the invention is a method for producing a tight-flask mold by transferring a flask to a position between a pattern carrier and a sand hopper by a flask conveyor that horizontally transfers flasks at a transfer level. The method includes the steps of keeping the flask in the position at the transfer level, while lowering the sand hopper, squeeze means, and a filling frame to the flask and lifting the pattern carrier and a box-like frame to the frame, thereby defining a mold space by the sand hopper, the squeeze means, the filling frame, the flask, the pattern carrier, and the box-like frame; filling molding sand into the mold space; squeezing the molding sand in the mold space to produce a tight-flask mold; and lifting the sand hopper, the squeeze means, and the filling frame and lowering the pattern carrier and the box-like frame, thereby allowing the tight-flask mold to be ready to be transferred.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for making upper and lower molds and an apparatus therefor that can prevent the resulting molds from being warped and match-plates from being broken. The method of this invention comprises the step of holding a match-plate 1 between cope and drag flasks 2 and 3, inserting upper and lower squeezing means 4 and 5 into the respective openings of the cope and drag flasks 2 and 3, which openings are opposite to the match-plate 1, so as to define upper and lower molding spaces, supplying molding sand to the upper and lower molding spaces, and then causing the upper and lower squeezing means 4 and 5 to move forward to the match-plate 1 so as to squeeze the molding sand and make upper and lower molds, wherein during the step of causing the upper and lower squeezing means to move forward to the match-plate the difference between the squeezing pressures of the upper and lower molding spaces is kept within a predetermined tolerance.

The apparatus includes a sand hopper (10) having an inlet pipe (7) for introducing a first airflow at a low pressure (0.05 to 0.18 MPa) and compressed air thereinto from an upper part thereof, and a plurality of separated nozzles (17) at a lower portion thereof for blowing and introducing the molding sand held in the sand hopper into the mold space by the first airflow. First and second chambers (11 and 12) supply a second airflow under a low pressure (0.05 to 0.18 MPa) and compressed air to the molding sand in the sand hopper (10) to fluidize the molding sand. Vertically movable, multi-segmented squeeze feet (16) are mounted on the lower portion of the sand hopper (10) at various locations, each of which is adjacent to a side of each nozzle, for compacting the molding sand in the mold space. In the sand hopper (10), a cutter (14) is provided to mill sand balls contained in the fluidized mold ing sand within the sand hopper (10).
