Abstract
An object is to provide a casting device that is capable of maintaining depressurization in a cavity. A casting device (1) is configured to move an extrusion pin (3), slidably inserted in an insertion hole (29) formed in a mold (2), into a cavity (20) in the mold to release a casted product. The casting device (1) includes a depressurized space creator (4) configured to create a depressurized space (40) on a reverse side of a cavity surface to define the cavity (20). The depressurized space creator (4) covers an opening of the insertion hole (29) to maintain depressurization in the cavity (20).
Claims8
A casting device comprising:
- a mold having a cavity into which a melt is to be fed and an insertion hole communicating with the cavity;
- an extrusion pin slidably inserted into the insertion hole and configured to move into the cavity to release a casted product;
- and
- a depressurized space creator configured to create a depressurized space on a reverse side of a cavity surface facing the cavity to define the cavity,
- wherein the depressurized space creator covers an opening of the insertion hole,
- wherein the depressurized space creator has an extrusion pin insertion hole, through which the extrusion pin extending from the insertion hole is inserted,
- wherein the depressurized space creator is arranged with a sealing member having a sealing hole which communicates with the extrusion pin insertion hole and through which the extrusion pin is inserted,
- wherein the extrusion pin has a radial dimension and an expanded diameter portion having a larger radial dimension than the radial dimension of the extrusion pin,
- wherein the radial dimension of the extrusion pin is smaller than a radial dimension of the sealing hole and the radial dimension of the expanded diameter portion is larger than the radial dimension of the sealing hole,
- wherein when the extrusion pin moves backward, the expanded diameter portion is configured to press the sealing member to close the sealing hole, so that the depressurized space is sealed,
- wherein the sealing member has an inner periphery defining the sealing hole,
- wherein the expanded diameter portion projects radially outward from the inner periphery of the sealing member, wherein a remainder of the extrusion pin except for the expanded diameter portion is radially inward away from the inner periphery of the sealing member.
