Publication number: 20210154734Abstract: A casting apparatus includes an upper frame to which an upper mold is attached, a lower frame to which a lower mold is attached, a first hydraulic actuator, a hydraulic unit, a first main link member, a first sub-link member and a rotation actuator, and the upper frame, the lower frame, the first main link member and the first sub-link member constitute a first parallel link mechanism. The hydraulic unit causes the electric motor to operate at a predetermined number of revolutions when performing mold opening or mold closing and causes the electric motor to operate at a limit number of revolutions smaller than the predetermined number of revolutions when not performing mold opening or mold closing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Keishiro KANEDA, Yukiyoshi FUNAKOSHI

Patent number: 11014154Abstract: A casting apparatus includes an upper frame, a lower frame, an opening/closing mechanism, a first main link member, a first sub-link member, a drive unit, a base frame and a retracting mechanism. The first main link member is provided with a first rotating shaft at a central part thereof. The first sub-link member is disposed in parallel with the first main link member. The first sub-link member is provided with a first bearing at a central part thereof. The drive unit is connected to the first rotating shaft and causes the first main link member to rotate around the first rotating shaft. The base frame includes a second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft rotatably supports the first sub-link member via the first bearing with the first bearing placed thereon. The retracting mechanism causes the second rotating shaft to retract.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Keishiro Kaneda, Yukiyoshi Funakoshi

Patent number: 10981224Abstract: A casting apparatus includes a first drive unit closing or opening an upper mold and a lower mold, a second drive unit tilting the closed upper mold and lower mold, an optical sensor and a control unit. When the optical sensor detects an object during a casting period after molten metal is supplied to the upper mold and the lower mold tilted by the second drive unit until the molten metal is cooled, the control unit does not shut off power supplies to the first drive unit and the second drive unit, causes the first drive unit to continue mold closing and causes the second drive unit to hold the tilting position.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Keishiro Kaneda, Yukiyoshi Funakoshi
