Casting tool and casting machine comprising a casting tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a casting tool comprising a bottom mold element (20) having a top-open mold recess (28) defining at least part of the shape of a casting to be produced (8), and comprising an ejector assembly (30) which is displaceable relatively to the first mold element in the direction of a vertical Z-axis and which has at least one ejector rod (34), which can be caused to protrude into the mold recess (28) in said bottom mold element (20) by displacement of said ejector assembly (30) relatively to said bottom mold element (20) wherein a base member (32) of the ejector assembly (30) to which the at least one ejector rod (34) is attached, is disposed in an ejector region (70) below the bottom mold element (20) and at least two force transferring members (40, 44) extending in the direction of the Z-axis are provided which are designed to transfer the forces (90a, 90b) downwardly acting on said mold element to a machine bed (6) of the casting machine disposed beneath said casting mold, at least one outer force transferring member (40) being provided which is offset in the horizontal direction and disposed beside said base member (32), while at least one inner force transferring member (44) is provided which passes through an opening (32a) in the base member (32). According to the present invention, provision is made for a tool bed (50) disposed beneath the base member (32), which is permanently attached to at least one of the force transferring members (40), which tool bed (50) is designed such that both the forces (92a; 92b) downwardly transferred to said outer force transferring member (40) and those downwardly transferred to the inner force transferring member (44) are transferred to said tool bed (50).
