Various modifications may be achieved by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure described in claims, and the modifications should not be understood separately from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.


According to an embodiment, there is provided a tilt casting mold that includes a cope and a drag, in which when the cope and the drag are combined, a predetermined cavity is formed therein and a riser is formed on a side of the cavity; a pouring cup is coupled to a surface having the riser of the drag; molten material is injected into the pouring cup and then the molten metal in the pouring cup is injected into the cavity by tilting the mold assembly composed of the cope, the drag, and the pouring cup.


The riser includes a channel (an inlet) for injecting molten metal into the cavity, molten metal flows into the cavity through the riser, and the riser may be configured such that a piston of a pressing apparatus to be described below can be accommodated therein. The riser may be one or more and pressing apparatuses corresponding to the number of the riser may be required.


A neck is formed between the riser and the cavity, and the molten material in the riser can be removed from a casting after the molten metal solidifies.


A predetermined cooling water channel may be formed in the tilt casting mold to cool molten metal after the molten metal injection is completed. In this case, it is preferable that the cooling water channel is not formed around the riser or a cooling water channel is formed such that the flow rate of cooling water around the riser is lower than that around the cavity. By this configuration, the cavity is cooled first and then the riser is cooled, whereby it is possible to reduce the quality difference of castings.


It is preferable that the internal volume of the pouring cup (the volume of fluid that can be stored) is larger than the volume of the cavity. The volume of the pouring cup is determined to satisfy “pouring cup volume<cavity volume+riser volume”, whereby it is possible the prevent additional injection of molten metal in a tilting process. Considering contraction of molten metal, it is preferable that the volume of the riser is in the range of 10% to 20% of the volume of the cavity. When the volume of the riser is too small, molten metal contracts even under the neck, so a poor casting may be produced. When the volume of the riser is excessive, the pressing apparatus to be described below is not normally operated, so molten metal may be excessively injected into the riser, causing a waste of cost (raw material).


Further, there is provided a tilt casting apparatus that includes: the tilt casting mold described above, a tilting apparatus injecting molten metal into the cavity by tilting the tilt casting mold at a predetermined speed, and a pressing apparatus pressing the riser and including: a riser cover formed to accommodate the outer surface of the riser of the tilt casting mold and forming a predetermined sealed space including the riser by being fixed to the tilt casting mold; and a piston accommodated inside the riser cover and pressing the riser in the sealed space formed by the riser cover fixed to the tilt casting mold, in which the pouring cup is separated after molten metal is injected into the cavity by operating the tilting apparatus, the riser cover is fixed to the tilt casting mold to accommodate the riser, and then the riser is pressed by the piston.


The configuration in which the riser cover is “formed to accommodate the outer side of the riser of the tilt casting mold” may mean a configuration that fully covers the riser to prevent the molten metal in the cavity under the riser from leaking out of the pressing apparatus or the mold in the pressing process.


Since the tilting apparatus can be easily configured by those skilled in the art by referring to tilting apparatuses in the related art and the specification of the present disclosure, the speed of tilting the mold is not described.


The sealed space means a configuration preventing molten metal from leaking out of the pressing apparatus or the mold, but does not mean blocking particles smaller than the particles of the molten metal such as air or other gas.


When the riser is pressed by the piston as described above, the molten metal in the riser partially comes out of the riser (out of the mold), and the molten metal coming outside is collected in the riser cover. In this state, when the piston keeps pressing the riser (the piston is inserted deeper), external force corresponding to the force applied to the piston is applied to the molten metal under the riser cover, so the molten metal is contracted, whereby a casting that has the same shape as the cavity can be obtained. Through this process, it is possible to produce castings with very small quality differences even without considering compensation due to contraction.


When the riser is pressed by the piston and the inside and outside of the riser cover are fully closed (even a flow of gas is blocked), gas components such as air may be contained in the riser cover. However, since molten metal has been injected in the cavity by the tilt casting method, all gas components including air are positioned at the upper portion in the riser and gas is not mixed into the molten metal. In pressing, gas is also pressed and contracted and the piston uniformly presses the inside of the riser under the riser cover, so the influence of the gas can be ignored. However, the pressing apparatus may further include a vacuum forming unit to reduce the influence of gas when precise machining is required. The inside and outside of the riser cover are blocked from air by bringing the riser cover into close contact with the mold and then the air in the riser cover is removed, whereby the riser cover can be fully filled with molten metal in the pressing process.


The pressing apparatus may further include a hydraulic apparatus that presses the riser cover and the piston such that the pressure applied to the tilt casting mold by the riser cover is larger than the pressure applied to the molten metal by the piston.


The pressing apparatus may include an actuator that brings the riser cover and the tilt casting mold in close contact with each other. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the actuator may be operated to bring the riser cover and the tilt casting mold in close contact with each other. After they are brought in close contact with each other, the hydraulic apparatus is operated to increase the sealing force between the riser cover and the tilt casting mold while pushing the riser cover and the piston and simultaneously to press the riser with the piston.


When sealing between the riser cover and the tilt casting mold is not complete, the molten metal may leak out of the riser cover due to the pressure applied by the piston to the molten metal in the riser. This phenomenon may occur when the force (pressure) between the riser cover and the tilt casting mold is smaller than the force (pressure) between the piston and the molten metal. In order to prevent this phenomenon, it is preferable to control the pressure of the riser cover and the pressure of the piston, as described above.


The hydraulic apparatus may be connected to the riser cover and the piston through a single hydraulic circuit such that the area of a cross-section perpendicular to the pressing direction of the riser cover is larger than that of the piston.


It may be possible to separately provide a hydraulic apparatus for pressing the riser cover and a hydraulic apparatus for pressing the piston and separately control the hydraulic apparatuses, but in this case, the structure of the entire apparatus becomes complicated and control also becomes more complicated, so the possibility of malfunction and breakdown may increase. Accordingly, it is preferable to control the pressures applied to the riser cover and the piston through a single hydraulic circuit, as described above.


Meanwhile, the coupling force between the cope and the drag when the piston presses molten metal may act as a factor for designing a casting process. When the coupling force between the cope and the drag does not increase in proportion to an increase of the pressing force by the piston, a poor casting may be produced due to separation of the cope and the drag, etc.


Accordingly, it may be possible to connect the hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic apparatus also to the cope and the drag in order to solve the problem with the coupling force. As shown in FIG. 6, the single circuit may be configured to apply the largest force to the cope and the drag and then to sequentially apply different forces to the riser cover and the piston. The difference of pressure may be generated by Pascal's principle. P1, P2, P3, and P4 shown in FIG. 6 may mean the cross-sectional areas of pipes of the hydraulic circuit. When pressure is applied at P1 that is a hydraulic press input portion, hydraulic pressure is output at P2, P3, and P4, in which the force by the hydraulic pressure is applied to the riser cover, the piston, and the mold with the magnitude of the force in proportion to P2, P3, and P4 (areas) (F=PA, F: force, P: pressure, and A: cross-sectional area).


The force applied to the mold (the cope and the drag) may be configured such that any one of the cope or the drag is fixed and pressure is applied to the other one (the cope or the drag not fixed) through the hydraulic apparatus.


An electromagnet may be disposed on a side of the riser cover such that the pressing apparatus brings the riser cover and the tilt casting mold in close contact with each other when the riser is pressed by the piston.


In the configuration described above, the composition ratio of an alloy of the tilt casting mold may be adjusted (only the portion being in contact with the riser cover may be magnetized) to react with a magnetic body. It is possible to assist coupling of the riser cover and the tilt casting mold through the electromagnet, or it may be possible to seal the riser cover and the tilt casting mold using the electromagnet if the intensity of the electromagnet is large.


By making it easy to couple or separate the tilt casting mold and the riser cover through the hydraulic apparatus, the electromagnet, or the like, there is an effect of automating the process, reducing the production time, etc. However, this configuration may be a super technology (opposite to an appropriate technology) when making a specimen for testing a product or developing a product such as a casting test unlike mass production. Since an installation cost may greatly increase due to the hydraulic apparatus, etc., installation may be an economic burden for subjects (research and development team, etc.) that do not need many castings. Accordingly, there is a need for a configuration that can achieve sealing between the riser cover and the tilt casting mold even without using the hydraulic apparatus described above.


The riser cover and the tilt casting mold may have fasteners corresponding to each other such that the pressing apparatus couples and fixes the riser cover and the tilt casting mold when the piston presses the riser.


The number and position of the fasteners may be adjusted in consideration of the pressure that is applied to molten metal. The fasteners may include mechanical elements that couple and fix two or more members such as bolt-nut, a hook, fitting, which is in the range that can be easily achieved by those skilled in the art by referring to the present disclosure, so it is not described in detail.


According to this configuration, it is possible to achieve an apparatus that takes more time than the time to seal the portion between the riser cover and the tilt casting mold using a hydraulic apparatus, etc., but is less complicated and requires a lower installation cost. It is also possible to achieve the apparatus by combining fasteners, a hydraulic apparatus, an electromagnet, etc.


The pressing apparatus may be configured to start pressing the cavity under the condition of

in which (1) the cross-sectional area of the piston is A, (2) the internal cross-sectional area of the riser cover is B, (3) the insertion depth of the piston in the riser is L1, (4) the internal depth of the riser cover is L2, and (5) the depth of the riser is L3.


In the configuration of an apparatus shown in FIG. 7, the volume of the riser cover except the volume of the piston may be BL2−AL2=L2(B−A) (A: cross-sectional area of piston, B; internal cross-sectional area of riser cover, L1: insertion depth of piston in riser, L2: internal depth of riser cover, and L3: depth of riser).


Since the volume of molten metal pushed by the piston inserted in the riser is AL1, L2(B−A)=AL1 should be satisfied so that the piston starts to press the molten metal in the cavity.


When the depth of the riser is excessively deep, the amount of molten metal that is injected into the riser is excessively increased, so a loss may be generated. Further, when the depth of the riser is excessively shallow, compression may not be generated due to contact between the piston and the neck. Accordingly, the optimal condition may be 0.8L3≤L2(B−A)≤0.95AL3. Arranging this formula, it becomes

Further, the present disclosure provides a tilt casting method that uses the tilt casting apparatus and includes: a pouring cup coupling step of fixing a pouring cup to the tilt casting mold; a first molten metal injection step of injecting molten metal into the pouring cup after the pouring cup coupling step; a second molten metal injection step of injecting the molten metal in the pouring cup into the cavity using gravity by tilting the tilt casting mold after the first molten metal injection step; a pouring cup separation step of separating the pouring cup from the tilt casting mold after the second molten metal injection step; a pressing preparation step of bringing the riser cover in close contact with the tilt casting mold to accommodate the riser after the pouring cup separation step; a pressing step of pressing the molten metal in the riser by pushing the piston after the pressing preparation step; a cooling step of cooling the molten metal during the pressing step; a pressure removing step of separating the pressing apparatus from the tilt casting mold after the pressing step and the cooling step; and a casting separation step of separating a casting from the tilt casting mold by separating the cope and the drag after the pressure removing step.


According to the tilt casting method described above, it is possible to reduce a cooling speed by additionally forming cooling water channels in comparison to tilt casting of the related art. According to tilt casting of the related art, there is a limit in cooling speed because compensation for contraction should be considered, the complexity of mold design is high, and there are large differences in quality of castings when castings are produced several times. However, the pressing-type tilt casting method described above can remove these problems.
