Abstract
A mold used for centrifugal casting includes a mold body formed in a cylindrical shape and a lid member (40) that is detachably assembled to an end part of the mold body in an axial direction. The lid member includes a lid body (41) that is attached to an opening part formed at the end part of the mold body, a protrusion part (450) that is fitted to the mold body, and a spring that applies elastic force to the lid body in a direction in which the lid body closely contacts the mold body.
Claims4
A centrifugal casting mold assembly for a centrifugal casting mold used for centrifugal casting and including a mold body and a lid member, the mold body being formed in a cylindrical shape, the lid member being detachably assembled to an end part of the mold body in an axial direction, wherein the lid member includes
- a lid body that is attached to an opening part formed at an end part of the mold body,
- a fitting part that is fitted to the mold body, and
- an elastic force application part that applies elastic force to the lid body in a direction in which the lid body closely contacts the mold body, and,
- the assembly device includes:
- an attachment-detachment device configured to attach and detach the lid member to and from the end part of the mold body;
- and
- a control device configured to control the attachment-detachment device, wherein
- the attachment-detachment device includes
- a grasping unit configured to grasp the lid member, and
- an image capturing unit provided at the grasping unit, and
- when attaching the lid member to the mold body, the control device grasps the lid member with the grasping unit, and then captures an image of the end face of the mold body with the image capturing unit, detects the position of the mold body relative to the grasping unit based on image data obtained by the image capturing, and fits the fitting part of the lid member to the mold body by displacing the grasping unit based on the position of the mold body.
