Abstract
A molten metal injecting device for a cold chamber type die casting machine wherein a cavity is provided in which a metal cast body is formed between a movable die and a stationary die. Molten metal in an injection sleeve is injected into the cavity by a piston through a narrow gate. The sleeve has a feeding port for introducing the molten metal. An opening is provided in the sleeve in which the piston on the end of the plunger is exposed partially between the feeding port of the sleeve and the inserting end of the plunger. Lubricant spraying nozzles and compressed air blowing nozzles are arranged towards the opening, and a mechanism is provided for rotating the piston.
Claims4
In a molten metal injection device for a cold chamber type die casting machine, wherein a cavity is provided in which a metal cast body is formed between a movable die and a stationary die, and molten metal is injected by a reciprocatable piston through an injection sleeve into said cavity through a narrow gate, said sleeve having an inserting end for said piston and an oppositely disposed gate end and having a feeding port for said molten metal, the improvement which comprises at least one open aperture provided in said sleeve between said feeding port and said inserting end in which the sliding surface of said piston is partially exposed when near said inserting end, first nozzle means arranged for spraying lubricant through said aperture onto at least the forward portion of said exposed surface of said piston, and second nozzle means arranged for directing compressed air through said aperture onto said exposed surface of said piston at sufficient pressure for removing adhered metal deposits from said exposed surface.
