Benefits of technology

[0008]One or more embodiments of the present invention provide a supply method and a supply apparatus of a semi-solid metal capable of preventing the semi-solid metal from jumping out.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the semi-solid metal is squeezed by the press force and the stress to considerably deform, and there is a case of jumping out from the opening portion of the injection sleeve to outside.
As a result, a step of removing the jumped semi-solid metal is needed to pose a problem that a production step cannot be made to be efficient.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]An exemplary embodiment of the invention will be explained in referenced to the drawings as follows.

[0032]FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a supply apparatus 10 and a molding apparatus 30 supplied with a semi-solid metal by the supply apparatus 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the invention.

[0033]The molding apparatus 30 includes an injection sleeve 31 in a cylindrical shape, and a plunger 32 provided progressively / regressively at inside of the injection sleeve 31.

[0034]The injection sleeve 31 is connected to a die, not illustrated. An upper face of the injection sleeve 31 is formed with an opening portion 31A.

[0035]When the semi-solid metal is supplied from the opening portion, the molding apparatus 30 injects the semi-solid metal from a front end of the injection sleeve into the die by making the plunger 32 progress.

[0036]The supply apparatus 10 includes a crucible 11 in a shape of a cylinder, a carry arm 13 carrying to move the crucible 11, and a control appa...

Abstract

A supply apparatus supplies a semi-solid metal to a molding apparatus having an injection sleeve formed with an opening portion and a plunger provided progressively / regressively at an inner portion of the injection sleeve. The supply apparatus includes a crucible in a shape of a cylinder containing a semi-solid metal, a carry arm for grabbing to move the crucible, and a control apparatus for controlling the carry arm. The control apparatus inserts a front end portion of a gutter mounted to the crucible into the opening portion of the injection sleeve by a predetermined angle to inject the semi-solid metal to a side of a direction of advancing the plunger more than at a position formed with the opening portion at inside of the injection sleeve.

Description

[0001]This application claims foreign priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-068468 filed on Mar. 16, 2007, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a supply method and a supply apparatus of a semi-solid metal.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]JP-B2-3211754 discloses a method of preparing a semi-solid metal (slurry) in a solid-liquid coexisting state by cooling a metal in a molten state of aluminum or magnesium, or alloys of these or the like and producing a metal molded product by using the semi-solid metal.[0006]According to the method shown in JP-B2-3211754, there is used a molding apparatus including an injection sleeve formed with an opening portion, and a plunger provided progressively / regressively at inside of the injection sleeve. Specifically, first, a semi-solid metal is supplied from the opening portion to the injection sleeve. Next, the semi-solid...
