  • Patent number: 12064808
    Abstract: A diecasting mold, comprising a first mold plate which is hot in operation and comprising at least one diecasting nozzle with an outlet point for a melt, and a second mold plate which forms a cold side. A mold cavity is formed between the first and second mold plates in a closed state of the diecasting mold, in which mold cavity a molded part can be produced from solidified melt introduced into the mold cavity via at least one melt channel, at least one diecasting nozzle and the at least one gate. The diecasting mold further comprises a demolding system, the demolding system comprising an ejector assembly, a drive device, and a force transmission device. A hot chamber system for diecasting metal melt according to the hot chamber method is also taught, a method for diecasting metal, and a use of a diecasting mold.

  • Patent number: 11161172
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diecasting method and a diecasting nozzle system (10) for use in a hot-chamber system (1) for the diecasting of metal melt (4), comprising a hot-chamber diecasting machine (2) with a casting vessel (3) and a melt distributor (20), which distributes the melt (4) from a machine nozzle (7) among uniformly heated diecasting nozzles (40). Arranged between a sprue region (42) of the diecasting nozzles (40) and the casting vessel (3) is at least one nonreturn valve (48), which prevents the melt (4) from flowing back from the sprue region (42) in the direction of the casting vessel (3). According to the invention, the nonreturn valve (48) is respectively arranged between the sprue region (42) of at least the upper diecasting nozzles (40) and a final branch of melt runners (22) in the melt distributor (20) to each of the diecasting nozzles (40).

  • Patent number: 9561540
    Abstract: Die cast nozzle for use in a die casting hot chamber system for molten metal with at least melting channel (4) in a channel carrier (3) that can be connected to a melt distributor (21), wherein the melting channel (4) passes over into a heating zone (6) and a nozzle tip (8), to which a sprue area (10) is attached, in which a plug of solidified melting can be formed that interrupts the melting flow, wherein the heating zone (6) comprises a heating cartridge (2) and/or a heatable nozzle shaft (33?) and/or the nozzle tip (8) is comprised as heatable nozzle tip (8?) and comprises at least one heating cartridge (2), the heatable nozzle shaft (33), or the heatable nozzle tip (8?) as heating element with electric heating, which comprises high power density in at least one section and low thermal inertia, comprised in a way that a temperature change gradient of 20 to 250 K/s, preferably 150 K/s, can be achieved on the surface of the heating element.
