Electric squeeze device

An electric squeeze device that compresses casting sands filled in a molding flask from above to make a mold, the electric squeeze device comprising:

• a squeezing frame that applies a pressurizing force to the casting sands;
• a swing arm that is positioned on an upper side of the squeezing frame and reciprocates at a predetermined angle with respect to a rotation center;
• a link having one end side connected to a position of a first radius of rotation from the rotation center of the swing arm and another end side connected to the squeezing frame;
• a driven gear formed along a virtual arc of a second radius of rotation from the rotation center of the swing arm;
• a drive gear that meshes with the driven gear;
• and
• an electric motor that rotationally drives the drive gear, wherein
• a normal and reverse rotation of the electric motor causes the squeezing frame to move up and down via the swing arm and the link, and a size of the second radius of rotation is set to be larger than a size of the first radius of rotation, thereby increasing a downward pressurizing force applied to the squeezing frame.
