Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a casting mold in which a slide mold is provided for a fixed mold and a movable mold.

  As a casting mold, a movable mold provided with a slide mold is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 1)).

The technique of this patent document 1 is demonstrated below based on drawing.
As shown in FIG. 6, the casting mold 100 includes a fixed mold 101, a movable mold 102 that matches the fixed mold 101, and a slide mold 103 that is slidably provided on the movable mold 102. . When molten metal is injected into the cavity 104 formed by the fixed mold 101, the movable mold 102 and the slide mold 103, the air in the cavity 104 is released from the groove 105 provided in the slide mold 103. When the molten metal is filled into the cavity 105, a part of the molten metal enters the groove 105.

  After the molten metal hardens, the movable mold 102 is raised and the work is taken out. Further, by raising the slide mold 103 with respect to the movable mold 102, the protrusion 106 fits into the groove 105. As a result, the molten metal that has entered the groove 105 and hardened (residue) is scraped off by the protrusion 106.

However, it is not possible to scrape off all the residue with the protrusion 106. As a result, a part of the residue accumulates in the groove 105 little by little.
The movement of the slide mold 103 becomes difficult while casting is repeated a plurality of times. As a countermeasure, it is necessary to clean the groove 105 frequently, and productivity is lowered.
In order to increase productivity, there is a demand for a mold that can reduce the accumulation of residues (powder burrs) on the sliding surface.
