The apparatus comprises a table (5), on which a pattern plate (6) is attached, a flask (7), the bottom surface of which can be fitted to the pattern plate (6), a filling frame (30), the bottom surface of which can be fitted to the upper surface of the flask (7), and in which the highest part of its opening is smaller than the lowest part of its opening, a blow head (17), which is used for blowing in molding sand, and for squeezing the blown-in molding sand, and which is placed above the table (5), and a thin plate body (20), which can be inserted into the blown-in molding sand and which is placed around a sand holder (12) that is a part of the blow head (17), in which the highest part of the opening of the filling frame (30) has such a size that the outer surface of the thin plate body (20) can contact the inner surface of the highest part of the filling frame (30), and in which the size and shape of the lowest part of the opening of the filling frame (30) are the same as those of the opening of the flask (7).

Apparatus for making mold

Molding sand filled in a space defined by a pattern plate and a flask is pre-compacted before the molding sand is completely pressed. A pre-compacting member is inserted into the molding sand toward the pattern plate, and then is stopped based on a predetermined depth of the pre-compacting member in the molding sand or a predetermined pressure caused by the pre-compacting member in the molding sand.

Method and apparatus for pre-compacting molding sand

The machine includes a lifter table for lifting a pattern plate and flask which hold molding sand and a pre-compacting member and a pressing member disposed above the lifter table for horizontal movement and for being inserted into the flask when the lifter table lifts the flask. The pre-compacting member includes a thin-plate body to be positioned slightly spaced apart from an inner surface of the flask or inner and outer surfaces of a pattern when inserted into the molding sand held in the flask. The pressing member includes a squeezing body that presses the molding sand from above.

Molding machine

Molding sand (S) is put in a mold space defined by a pattern plate (2), having a pattern (2A) on it, and a flask (3). The apparatus includes a thin-plate body (9) and/or a rod (11) to be inserted into the molding sand. It is pre-compacted at a part of it near the inner and outer surfaces of the pattern (2A) and the inner surfaces of the flask (3) by the thin-plate body and rod. The apparatus also has a pressing plate (8) to press all the molding sand after it is pre-compacted.

Apparatus and method for producing molds

The includes a plurality of squeeze rods (12) and a squeeze plate (14) are used to press molding sand in a flask (16), and wherein the pressure applied to the individual squeeze rods and their individual downward movements are controlled. The device includes a squeeze table (2) on which a pattern plate (1) is mounted, a vertically movable frame (3) disposed above the squeeze table (2) such that the frame can move vertically relative to the squeeze table (2), a squeeze plate (14) mounted on a lower part of the vertically movable frame, a plurality of squeeze rods juxtaposed and penetrating the squeeze plate for vertical sliding movements, a plurality of electric servo-actuators attached to the frame to vertically move the squeeze rods, and a controller for controlling the plurality of the electric servo-actuators.
