Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for applying a force to a metal component in a casting mold.
  • the present invention also relates to a use of such an apparatus and to a method for applying a force to a metal component in a casting mold.
  • a cylinder piston rod is aligned axially with a squeeze pin without any transmission there between and the cylinder piston and piston rod move in the same direction as the squeeze pin.
  • the issue here is to squeeze sufficiently large volumes because this requires sufficiently large forces.
  • this approach is used in an HPDC tool, the available space and thus the size of the cylinder is limited.
  • FIG. 1A An example of a pin-squeeze system without a transmission according to this first approach described above is illustrated in Fig. 1A .
  • a clutch rigidly mounted on the end of the piston rod pushes a core pin, which then squeezes the metal.
  • the piston in the cylinder is moved back by the action of a fluid delivered to the cylinder, the core pin is returned to the initial position.
  • a transmission is used, which enables the use of a smaller cylinder.
  • This method has the potential risk of higher maintenance costs. Also, it may be problematic to use this approach in existing tools, because of the size of the transmission, which also requires a lot of space.
  • FIG. 1B An example of a pin-squeeze system with a transmission according to this second approach described above is illustrated in Fig. 1B .
  • a piston in a cylinder is moved by the action of a fluid delivered to the cylinder, the back-and-forth linear motion is translated into a rotational motion in the first gearing arrangement.
  • the rotational motion is translated back to a back-and-forth linear motion.
  • a clutch links the toothed gear rack with the core pin, which squeezes the metal.
  • the engine block casting apparatus comprises a squeeze pin extendible to a cavity between the main oil gallery mold releases pin and the sand core.
  • the pin is reciprocated by a squeeze cylinder. At the end of molten metal filling, the squeeze pin extends to squeeze and eliminate the product cavity.
  • EP 3 015 194 A1 describes a method for manufacturing a cylinder block comprising a semicircular bearing section, wherein the method comprises pressure-injecting molten metal into a cavity formed inside a metal mold and sliding a pressure pin disposed in the metal mold after the pressure-injecting of the molten metal and thereby applying a pressure to the molten metal injected in the cavity.
  • JP 2010 234396 A JP 2018 167304 A , US 2007/193712 A1 , EP 0 694 358 B1 , GB 2 209 015 B and US 6,629,558 .
  • the above described pin-squeeze system without a transmission generally allows the application of a force to the metal during the solidification of the metal and can provide a reduction of the volume of porosity. Due to the fact that this mechanism does not require the use of a transmission, this simplifies the maintenance. However, as already explained above, using such an approach may be problematic when the compression of a large metal volumes is required. In this case, the pin squeeze system without a transmission would require the use of a comparably large cylinder or a doubling of the cylinder, which is connected with the necessity of providing a larger space for the implementation of this solution. For most casting tool constructions, it is not possible to provide for such additional space.
  • the present invention is faced with the problem of suggesting an apparatus which allows for applying a sufficiently high force to a metal component in the casting mold, while at the same time a compact size and an as low as possible maintenance effort shall be achieved. Further, a corresponding method and an advantageous use are suggested.
  • an apparatus for applying a force to a metal component in a casting mold as disclosed in appended claim 1.
  • a wedge mechanism for squeezing a metal component in particular a bearing area of the cast metal component, such as the bearing area of an engine cylinder block
  • a metal component in particular a bearing area of the cast metal component, such as the bearing area of an engine cylinder block
  • This solution does not only provide the ability to compress large volumes of metal, but also to maintain a very compact size of the mechanism.
  • the suggested solution does not require any special maintenance.
  • the proposed solution can be used in critical areas (such as bearing areas of an engine cylinder block), where other solutions only achieve too small squeeze pressures or have too large dimensions and are thus impossible to implement in the respective casting tool.
  • a metal component with improved mechanical properties, in particular a reduced potential risk of low yield strengths and ultimate tensile strengths can be provided in an efficient manner.
  • the casting method used may in particular be pressure casting or high pressure die casting (HPDC).
  • the apparatus may be a high pressure die casting apparatus or a part thereof and the casting mold used may be a die-cast suitable for high pressure die casting.
  • the force is in particular applied to the metal component at least for a certain time during solidification of the metal. The force may be kept applied until the solidification of the metal has completed.
  • the term metal component is understood to cover the state of molten metal until completely solidified metal in the casting mold.
  • the metal may be aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • the metal component may in particular be an engine cylinder block.
  • the force applied to the metal component may in that case in particular be applied to a bearing area of the engine cylinder block.
  • the force applied to the metal component via the squeeze arrangement is set such that it is sufficient for reducing air inclusion and the porosity of the metal component.
  • the specific force and pressure to be applied may depend on and determined based on various factors, such as the metal used, the casting method, the geometry of the metal component and/or the area of the component to be squeezed.
  • the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement may each be exclusively movable in the drive direction and the squeeze direction, respectively.
  • the respective movement may be a translational or linear movement.
  • the movement may an axial movement along an axis of the respective arrangement (such as a piston rod axis or a pin axis). That an arrangement may only in part be movable in a respective direction is understood to mean that the respective arrangement may comprise parts which are fixed or not movable.
  • the drive arrangement may comprise a cylinder which is not moving in the drive direction, but only serves for driving a piston or piston rod in the drive direction.
  • the squeeze arrangement comprises parts, such as e.g. one or more squeeze pins moving in the squeeze direction, but may also comprise parts, such as e.g. guides or sleeves, which may not necessarily move into the squeeze direction.
  • the force deflection mechanism may be realized with components of the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement. However, the force deflection mechanism may also comprise additional parts or elements.
  • a force deflection mechanism utilizing a wedge mechanism is understood to be a mechanism utilizing one or more wedge surfaces (i.e. inclined, or tilted surfaces in particular with respect to the drive direction and/or the squeeze direction) so as to deflect the direction of an input force to a direction of an output force.
  • the mechanism may realize a transmission, for instance, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the drive arrangement is understood to be positioned on the drive side, while the squeeze arrangement is understood to be positioned on the driven (or drive end) side.
  • drive arrangement - "force deflection mechanism” - "squeeze arrangement”.
  • the exemplary method may further comprise steps before and after the application of a squeeze force to the metal component.
  • the exemplary method may further comprise the action of pressure injecting metal into the casting mold.
  • the exemplary method may further comprise the action of removing the metal component from the casting mold after solidification of the metal.
  • the method may in particular be performed by an apparatus according to the invention.
  • the drive direction is transverse, preferably substantially perpendicular to the squeeze direction.
  • the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement or the respective part thereof may only be movable in the drive direction and the squeeze direction, respectively.
  • An configuration of the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement, such that the respective directions are transverse or perpendicular to each other, allows a specifically compact design, as it can be avoided that the drive arrangement (typically comprising lengthy components such as cylinder, piston, piston rod etc.) extends too much from the casting mold or the rest of the casting tool.
  • the force deflection mechanism provides a force transmission ratio of 1
  • the force deflection mechanism provides a force transmission ratio from the drive arrangement to the squeeze arrangement smaller or larger than 1. This allows for the provision of a tailored force and thus pressure for squeezing the metal component.
  • the drive arrangement can be kept comparably small, because the force and pressure to be applied to the metal component can be adjusted (and in particular increased) via the force deflection mechanism, if needed.
  • the path transmission ration behaves inversely, i.e. if the force transmission ratio is larger than 1, then the path transmission ratio is smaller than 1 and vice versa.
  • the force transmission ratio from the drive arrangement to the squeeze arrangement i.e. the output force F squeeze at the squeeze arrangement divided by the input force F drive at the drive arrangement, i.e. F squeeze / F drive
  • the force transmission ratio from the drive arrangement to the squeeze arrangement is larger than 1 and more preferably larger than 2 (and correspondingly the path transmission ratio is smaller than 1 or even smaller than 0.5, respectively).
  • the desired force and path transmission ratio can be adjusted by accordingly designing the wedge mechanism.
  • the inclination or tilting of a wedge surface can be adjusted so as to obtain the desired transmission ratios, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the force deflection mechanism is a gear-free mechanism. It has been found out that a sufficient force deflection and in particular transmission can be achieved solely by a wedge mechanism without the need of any further gears or cog wheels.
  • a gear-free mechanism allows for a particularly compact design and also provides a low-maintenance or even maintenance-free solution.
  • the utilized wedge mechanism may nevertheless employ rotating members or parts, such as the pivot member described further below.
  • the force deflection mechanism directly transfers a translational motion of the drive arrangement in the drive direction into a translational motion of the squeeze arrangement in the squeeze direction. Since there is no further intermediate force transfer, the properties with regard to compactness and low-maintenance can be further improved in this case. As already mentioned above, it may nevertheless be possible that a rotational motion of e.g. a pivot element is provided, as described further below. However, there is still a direct transfer of the translational motion of the drive arrangement in the drive direction into the translational motion of the squeeze arrangement in the squeeze direction, as explained further below.
  • the drive arrangement and/or the squeeze arrangement comprises a wedge member providing a wedge surface.
  • a wedge member and “a wedge surface” are understood to mean that there is at least one wedge member/surface and that there generally can also be provided multiple wedge members and/or surfaces.
  • a wedge surface is understood to be an inclined or tiled surface, in particular with respect to the drive direction and/or the squeeze direction.
  • the wedge surface can be considered to be a force deflection surface, as its purpose is to deflect and mechanically transfer the force from the drive arrangement (at least partially moving in the drive direction) to the squeeze arrangement (at least partially moving in the squeeze direction) and as its geometry and properties define or at least influence the force deflection and transmission.
  • the squeeze arrangement comprises a wedge member (which is movable in the squeeze direction).
  • the drive arrangement comprises a wedge member.
  • a wedge surface of a wedge member of the drive arrangement and a wedge surface of a wedge member of the squeeze arrangement can abut and slide along each other.
  • only one of the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement comprises a wedge member with a wedge surface and the respective other arrangement comprises a contact member abutting the wedge surface, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the wedge surface allows to set the transmission ratio. For instance, in case of a transmission ration equal to 1, the wedge surface will typically bisect the angle between the drive direction and the squeeze direction. In case of a (force) transmission ratio larger or smaller than 1, the wedge surface will have a correspondingly smaller or larger inclination with respect to the drive direction, respectively.
  • the path transmission ration will behave inversely.
  • either the squeeze arrangement or the drive arrangement comprises a wedge member providing a wedge surface and wherein the respective other arrangement of the drive arrangement and the squeeze arrangement comprises a mover (which does not have a wedge surface) cooperating with the wedge member.
  • the mover may be pushed or pulled against the wedge member or is pushed or pulled by the wedge member.
  • the mover may thus be referred to as a pusher. While it is preferred that the wedge member is comprised by the squeeze arrangement and the mover is comprised by the drive arrangement, it is also possible that it is the other way around.
  • the wedge member comprises one or more cutouts so as to provide respective wedge surfaces.
  • a pin or pivot member of the mover as will be explained further below, can traverse the cutout to securely provide the interaction between the mover and the wedge member.
  • the mover comprises a pivot member rotatable around an axis of the pivot member and abutting the wedge member.
  • the pivot member can be received or fixed in the mover, i.e. the pivot member may move translationally together with the mover in a respective direction, i.e. the drive direction or the squeeze direction.
  • the pivot member is free to rotate around its axis.
  • the pivot member may be a cylindrical member, for instance a bolt or a pin.
  • the pivot member may rotate around its longitudinal axis.
  • the pivot member may directly abut the wedge surface of the wedge member.
  • a pivot member has the advantage that it can perform a rolling motion on the wedge surface when the mover and wedge member move in their respective direction, thereby reducing the undesired resistance or friction for the force deflection and transmission.
  • the pivot member reduces the friction from a sliding friction to a rolling friction during the force deflection and transmission.
  • the axis of rotation of the pivot member is preferably transverse, in particular substantially perpendicular to the drive direction and/or the squeeze direction.
  • the mover comprises a bracket-like, in particular U-shaped section so as to encompass the wedge member.
  • the bracket-like section can advantageously provide arms for encompassing the wedge member and also for holding the pivot member.
  • the bracket-like section can also be a clam or support for the pivot member.
  • the pivot member can transverse the bracket-like section and is, for instance, received in through-holes of arms of the bracket-like section.
  • it may also be the other way around, i.e. the wedge member comprises a bracket-like (e.g. u-shaped) section so as to encompass the mover.
  • Each arm of the bracket like structure may in this case provide a wedge surface, for instance via a cut-out in each of the arms.
  • the wedge surface has an inclination with an angle with respect to the drive direction of at least 10°, preferably at least 20° and/or at most 40°, preferably at most 30°. These inclination angles of the wedge surface allow for high forces to be supplied to the squeeze arrangement and thus the metal component while maintaining a compact design. In a preferred embodiment the angle of inclination is substantially 25°.
