To minimize the amount of setting gas to be gasified and to be introduced into a molding sand containing a gas-settable binder, a metered volume of the setting liquid is injected directly into a gassing plate arranged in front of an opening leading to a cavity containing the molding sand. Heat energy is supplied to the gassing plate to effect gasification of the liquid. A superpure gas then is produced and is directed through the molding sand. Consequently, not only is only a small amount of setting liquid required to set the molding sand but only a small amount of compressed air or other non-reactive gas is required for scrubbing to remove the residual superpure gas from the sand. Therefore, cleaning or removal of the gas from the set molding sand can be performed at a low cost.

Green sand molds for use in casting operations are made automatically by a matchplate molding system. Features of the system include (1) pneumatic apparatus for filling the cope and drag flasks with sand, (2) a pusher on the drag flask for shifting molds of various shapes to a transfer conveyor, (3) a carriage supporting the drag flask for vertical and lateral movement (4) a lower sand magazine which moves laterally to open and close a sand chute gate while also being movable vertically relative to the gate, (5) a squeeze head movable between various positions enabling control over the volume of sand delivered to the cope and drag flasks, (6) a vibrator for directly vibrating the matchplates, (7) liners for releasably holding molds in the flasks, (8) an accumulating conveyor for transferring the newly formed molds and (9) a pusher for shoving the molds off of the accumulating conveyor.

An apparatus for the compression of foundry moulding material by compressed gas, which comprises a pressure tank for the compressed gas forming an inlet pressure zone, a moulding zone positioned beneath the same constituted by a moulding box with filling frame and pattern plate with pattern, onto which the moulding material is loosely poured prior to compression, and a large-area valve arranged between the pressure tank and the moulding zone. The closure member thereof frees the valve opening in the pressure tank in a few milliseconds and moves into the inlet pressure zone. The closure member is driven by a pressure cylinder, whose piston on the lift side forms the moveable termination of a gas-pressurized pressure reservoir and by its opposite side is connected to a high pressure source. The high pressure-side outflow is constructed in such a way that the pressure medium flows out at a speed of more than 10 m/s, accompanied by the simultaneous acceleration of the piston, under the pressure in the pressure reservoir and the closure member into the raised open position.

Disclosed is a gas hardening type molding machine wherein a vertical type molding box is disposed under a molding sand hopper having an upper part opened and a bottom part provided with a sand discharge port, and a mold cavity in the vertical split type molding box is communicated with both a vacuum device and a hardening gas generator through stop valves, thereby to conduct both the filling of molding sand and the permeation of a hardening gas by utilizing the suction operation of the vacuum device.
摘要:
Particulate material, hereinafter called sand, is used in a sand article, such as a mold article, for foundry purposes such as a green sand mold and sand core consisting of sand and a binder and is hardened in a molding box by sucking a catalyst gas from a catalyst gas source through the molding box and the sand article. The molding box is continuously exposed to the action of a reduced pressure source and normally evacuated to the atmosphere. When the pressure has been reduced to a predetermined pressure less than atmospheric pressure, the catalyst gas is briefly supplied to the molding box under slight increase of the absolute pressure, whereupon the molding box is evacuated to the catalyst gas source until the pressure therein is reduced to the predetermined pressure to recycle the unused catalyst gas leaving the molding box to the catalyst gas source.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel method of venting a spray metal molding surface. More particularly the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a mold using a thermal spray process to produce a metal surface containing passages in the spray metal to vent fluid or gas from the forming surface. The present invention is primarily intended for mold tools, such as vacuum molds, injection molds or blow molds having vents or a multiplicity of holes in the forming surface to evacuate or supply gas in a mold.
摘要:
An apparatus to produce a shell-like mold by vacuum sucking molding sand into a shell-like cavity defined by a cope and a drag is disclosed. The apparatus includes a drag and a cope mounted on the drag so that they define a shell-like cavity between them. The drag holds on its upper surface a pattern. The drag has a plurality of sucking apertures at places adjacent to the perimeter of the pattern. The sucking apertures communicate with a vacuum source. The cope has a single molding-sand-supplying bore which communicates with the cavity. To produce a shell-like mold, the molding sand is introduced from the bore into the cavity by means of a vacuum source.
摘要:
Foundry moldings are manufactured in an economic manner without increasing cycle time comprises a 3-stage method including the steps of feeding the molding material by means of compressed air into a molding container and thereafter precompressing the molding material by applying a pressure surge to the surface thereof and thereafter recompressing said precompressed molding material to final compression. The resulting foundry moldings are homogeneous in structure and structural integrity.
