Estimating the term…
A metal mold device for casting that is adapted to prevent a casting sleeve from falling and that keeps even spacing between an inner circumferential wall of the casting sleeve and an outer circumferential wall of a bore pin. Ball plungers are provided at regular intervals in a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential portion of the bore pin in the vicinity of a distal end of the bore pin and on an outer circumferential portion in the vicinity of a basal end thereof, respectively, with respect to the axial direction of the bore pin. Three distal ball plungers are provided on the outer circumferential portion in the vicinity of the distal end of the bore pin and three basal ball plungers are provided on the outer circumferential portion in the vicinity of the basal end thereof. The distal ball plungers are 60° out of phase with the basal ball plungers when viewed in the axial direction. Further, the distal ball plungers are provided in an area where a piston ring, in the vicinity of a top dead center position of a piston, is located.
A metal mold device for casting comprising a sleeve and a bore pin for holding said sleeve, wherein at least three ball plungers that are in elastic contact with an inner circumferential wall of said sleeve are provided at regular intervals in a circumferential direction on an outer circumference of said bore pin, wherein said bore pin has a hole into which a pipe is inserted to supply a coolant from a back wall side of said bore pin, and wherein a spiral groove is formed on an inner circumferential wall of said hole.
