  • Patent number: 9289824
    Abstract: The present invention provides pouring equipment of a tilting-type that can appropriately pour molten metal at a high speed corresponding to the speed of molding. It also provides a method of pouring the molten metal. The pouring equipment has a holding furnace supplying the molten metal by being tilted, a pouring ladle pouring the molten metal supplied from the holding furnace into molds that are intermittently transported, a device for measuring weight of the molten metal in the pouring ladle, and equipment for control that controls the tiltings of the holding furnace and the pouring ladle. The equipment for control has a device for storing results from measurements and devices for calculating the first and second flow rate. The equipment controls the tilting of the ladle so that the ladle pours the molten metal into the mold according to the flow pattern of the product.

  • Patent number: 8886349
    Abstract: A supplying molten metal to an automatic pouring machine and equipment therefor. The equipment can not only supply the molten metal into the automatic pouring machine corresponding to the molding speed of the high-speed molding machine, but it can also appropriately supply the molten metal to the automatic pouring machine, so that the quality of that molten metal in the pouring ladle matches that of the molten metal that is poured in the molds. After supplying a required quantity of alloy materials in a treating ladle, supplying the molten metal from the melting furnace into the treating ladle; transporting the pouring ladle to the treating ladle; pouring the molten metal from the treating ladle into the pouring ladle; and fixing the pouring ladle that received the molten metal to the automatic pouring machine.

  • Patent number: 8408278
    Abstract: An automatic pouring method whereby a tilting automatic pouring device can pour at high speed, accommodating high-speed molding on a high-speed molding line. The method includes: a step wherein a pouring hopper, which can hold an amount of molten metal sufficient for multiple pours, is tilted forward, thereby pouring the molten metal from the hopper into a casting mold; a step wherein the pouring hopper is tilted backward, thereby stopping the aforementioned pouring into the casting mold; and a step wherein a set of casting molds, including the casting mold for which the aforementioned pouring has been completed, are moved at intervals. During the period from the beginning of the step in which molten metal is poured into the casting mold to the end of the step in which the set of casting molds is moved at intervals, whenever the weight of molten metal in the pouring hopper is less than a prescribed weight, molten metal is continually supplied to the pouring hopper by tilting a holding furnace forward.

  • Publication number: 20120097359
    Abstract: Provided is an automatic pouring method whereby even a tilting automatic pouring device can pour at high speed, accommodating high-speed molding on a high-speed molding line. Said method includes: a process wherein a pouring tank, which can hold an amount of molten metal sufficient for multiple pours, is tilted forward, thereby pouring the molten metal from inside said tank into a casting mold; a process wherein the pouring tank is tilted backward, thereby halting the aforementioned pouring into the casting mold; and a process wherein a set of casting molds, including the casting mold for which the aforementioned pouring had completed, are moved at intervals.
