DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a low-pressure casting device for stably casting castings of uniform quality by constantly applying a constant pressing force as pouring progresses.

Conventionally, in low-pressure casting equipment, a mold is placed above a heat retention furnace that holds a certain amount of molten metal, and the sprue of the mold and the molten metal in the heat retention furnace are connected by a casting pipe, that is, a stalk, to keep the heat retention furnace airtight. As a structure, the molten metal is pushed up into the mold by pressurizing the space inside the heat-retaining furnace, but as pouring progresses, the amount of molten metal in the heat-retaining furnace decreases, so a given pressurizing force cannot provide the specified feeder pressure. There was a problem that there was no.

For this reason, a method is usually used to increase the pressurizing pressure in the space inside the heat retention furnace by a constant pressure every time a casting is performed, but the initial pressure is unstable during the first casting after replenishing the molten metal, and the pressure inside the furnace is There was a problem in that the feeder pressure could not be maintained at a constant level with a constant increase in pressure due to the adhesion of slag, etc.

Furthermore, a mold usually consists of a metal mold, which is a heavy structure including a mold opening/closing mechanism, and is set above the insulating furnace while aligning it with the insulating furnace to prevent hot water from leaking. It is structurally and operationally difficult to connect the mold and the heat-retaining furnace via a relatively weak stalk.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention realizes constant casting depth and feeder pressure regardless of the amount of molten metal in the incubation furnace, and improves the positional accuracy of the mold in the incubation furnace. The purpose is to ease the problem and make installation easier.

In order to achieve this object, in the low-pressure casting apparatus of the present invention, the stalk is divided into two parts, one stalk being attached to the mold side and the other stalk being attached to the insulating furnace side. In this case, the insulation furnace side stalk has a larger pipe diameter than the mold side stalk, and the insulation furnace side stalk is inserted into the mold side stalk from the upper end downward. and,
The large-diameter stalk attached to the heat-retaining furnace side and the mold sprue are airtightly connected by an expansion joint disposed around the small-diameter stalk. During casting, a sealed gas space is formed on the upper surface of the molten metal between the outer periphery of the small-diameter stalk and the inner periphery of the expansion joint and large-diameter stalk.
A pressure detection device is connected to the space, and the detected pressure is fed back to the pressurized gas supply system to the heat retention furnace. Therefore, by controlling the pressure in the closed space to be constant, constant casting speed and feeder pressure can be achieved. Also, the stalk is 2
Since it has a split configuration, the mold can be installed above the cold furnace with a misalignment within the range where the small-diameter stalk on the mold side does not interfere with the large-diameter stalk on the insulation side, which reduces positioning accuracy and improves the connection. The work becomes easier and the intended purpose is achieved.

A casting pipe, ie, a stalk 4, which hangs downward is attached to the lid 1a of the heat-retaining furnace 1. This stalk 4 is configured as a large diameter stalk made of a relatively large diameter tube. On the other hand, a relatively small-diameter stalk 5 is attached to the mold sprue of the mold 3, and the lower end of the small-diameter stalk 5 is inserted downward into the upper end of the large-diameter stalk 4. A double composite stalk consisting of the large diameter stalk 4 and the small diameter stalk 5 constitutes a stalk that guides the molten metal to the mold 3.

Further, an expansion joint 6 is arranged around the small diameter stalk 5. The expansion joint 6 is made of a metal bellows, for example, and connects the upper end flange of the large diameter stalk 4 and the mold mounting member 2 in an airtight manner. When the molten metal 7 in the heat insulating furnace 1 is pushed up into the mold 3 through the stalks 4 and 5, the gas around the outer circumference of the small diameter stalk 5 has no place to escape, so the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter stalk 5, the expansion joint 6 and the large A space surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the diameter stalk 4 and the upper surface of the molten metal forms a sealed space 8.
