Andrea PEZZOLI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230043574
    Abstract: The present technology includes a hydraulic die-casting machine with electric motor actuated by an inverter, which provides an energy saving evaluation system with respect to a die-casting machine without inverter. The hydraulic die-casting machine includes an injection assembly provided with an injection piston for pressurizing case metal poured into a die and a hydraulic circuit for actuating the injection piston, a hydraulic pump for feeding the hydraulic circuit through a delivery line, an electric motor for actuating the hydraulic pump and an inverter for actuating the electric motor, and an evaluation system for evaluation of the energy savings provided by the present tehcnology.

  • Patent number: 10894287
    Abstract: An injection assembly for a die-casting machine includes an injection piston for which a desired speed (Vset) is defined during a metal injection step. The piston is moved by an injection delivery valve and an injection drain valve, controlled in opening according to a tuning speed (Vreg). A system of auto-tuning of the opening of the valves is provided. The tuning speed (Vreg) is determined according to the difference between the desired speed (Vset) for the piston and an effective speed (Veff) of the piston, detected for the previous die-casting cycle.

  • Patent number: 10668526
    Abstract: An injection assembly (1) of a die-casting machine is provided with electronic control means (300) of the valves, configured and programmed for carrying out a plurality of diagnostic tests on said valves. The test management program provides for the execution of a test for each valve and the comparison of parameters detected during said test with a predefined interval or with a threshold value. Furthermore, means are provided for displaying the results of the diagnostic tests.

  • Patent number: 10668527
    Abstract: An injection assembly (1) of a die casting machine comprises valve means for controlling the advancement and return of the injection piston (20) and of the multiplier piston (42). The valve means comprise a plurality of valves, including a proportional delivery valve (104), a proportional injection discharge valve (112) and a proportional multiplier valve (118). Electronic control means (300) are provided which are configured and/or programmed to execute an air purge cycle which performs the opening and closing of the valves, alternately, for a predetermined number of times.
