(Prior Art) Generally, when drawing molten metal from a holding furnace, if the molten metal reaches a certain level, it becomes impossible to supply hot water.
Conventionally, the molten metal is supplied to the holding furnace before reaching the minimum holding level at which such hot water can be supplied (so-called hot water waiting level). In this case, generally, an average value of the casting weight and the casting cycle of a plurality of types of casting products to be processed is taken, and a casting product having this average value (hereinafter referred to as an average casting product) is assumed. The amount of molten metal required to obtain the product is estimated in advance, and the molten metal level at the time of giving the molten metal distribution instruction (hereinafter referred to as a molten metal distribution instruction level) so that the level of the molten metal before replenishing the molten metal does not reach the molten metal waiting level. Was set.

If the molten metal consumption per unit time of the target cast product (hereinafter, referred to as the molten metal consumption rate) is larger than the average molten metal consumption rate of the cast product, the molten metal holding level is often kept waiting even if the instruction to distribute the molten metal is issued. When the equipment reaches the level, the equipment is stopped, and as a result, the productivity may be reduced.

Conversely, when the molten metal consumption rate of the target cast product is smaller than the average molten metal consumption rate of the cast product, the molten metal is replenished as it is in accordance with the hot water distribution instruction, resulting in a quicker distribution of molten metal. So-called residual hot water, that is, holding the molten metal in a state where it is not used, was likely to occur. In addition, even if there are other holding furnaces to be prioritized, regardless of the necessity of the holding furnace to be prioritized, the supply of molten metal in accordance with the hot water distribution instruction will result in production imbalance as a whole equipment, and as a result There was a risk that productivity would decrease.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention obtains a hot water distribution instruction / hot water holding amount by multiplying a molten metal consumption rate by a preset hot water distribution standby time, and obtains a hot water distribution instruction / hot water waiting amount. The molten metal waiting amount set in advance is added to calculate the reference molten metal holding amount, and when the molten metal amount detected by the molten metal amount detecting means becomes equal to or less than the reference molten metal holding amount, an instruction to supply the molten metal is given. Since the reference molten metal holding amount is calculated for each target product, it is possible to associate (coincide) the hot water distribution standby time with the molten metal consumption time of the target product, and eventually enter a hot water waiting state before the completion of molten metal replenishment. This is prevented, and the number of times of replenishment of the molten metal is prevented from being increased due to the premature replenishment of the molten metal. As a result, good productivity can be secured.

1. A molten metal amount detecting means for detecting the molten metal amount of a holding furnace, a setter for inputting and setting various data, and a set data connected to the molten metal amount detecting means and setting data of the setter and the molten metal amount detection. Using a control device having an arithmetic means for performing arithmetic processing in accordance with the detection data of the means, and calculating a molten metal consumption rate by dividing a pumping amount per casting product by a casting cycle time. Multiply the set hot water distribution waiting time to obtain a hot water distribution instruction / hot water holding amount, calculate a reference molten metal holding amount by adding a preset hot water waiting amount to the hot water distribution instruction / hot water holding amount, A molten metal replenishing method for a hand holding furnace, wherein a molten metal replenishment instruction is issued when the molten metal amount detected by the molten metal amount detecting means is equal to or less than the reference molten metal holding amount.
