Technical Field
The invention relates to an ingot mould, in particular for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, to a method for producing a component, in particular a cylinder head, and to the use of an ingot mould.
Background
The ingot mold is a reusable mold for casting metals and alloys. Cores are also required here in order to be able to produce cavities and/or undercuts in the casting to be produced. These cores are usually made of sand and can therefore only be used once. Thereby increasing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the core, in particular the sand core, influences the solidification of the melt due to its insulating effect, so that an optimally directed solidification may not be achieved.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an ingot mould, a method for producing a component and the use of an ingot mould, which eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and are suitable in particular for producing a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine.
Said task is solved by an ingot mold according to claim 1, a method according to claim 10 and a use according to claim 11. Further advantages and features are given by the dependent claims, the description and the figures.
According to the invention, an ingot mould for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is proposed, in which and/or on which a top core has been or can be provided, which top core locally shapes a functional surface of a component, in particular a cylinder head, and which ingot mould is designed for shaping or (jointly) forming at least one local region of the functional surface. The following description relates in particular to internal combustion engine cylinder heads. But the ingot mould, the method and the application can also be used for manufacturing various (cast) parts. Common casting methods are, for example, gravity casting or low-pressure casting, wherein steel or, in particular, aluminum or aluminum alloys, such as aluminum-magnesium alloys, are preferably used as material. The greatest advantage of the invention is that the functional surface of the component is not formed only by the top core or only by the ingot mold, but to a certain extent by the cooperation of the ingot mold with the top core. It is thereby advantageous that the size of the top core can be reduced to a minimum, which directly affects the production costs, since the amount of moulding material required for the top core, which is preferably made of sand, is correspondingly reduced.
According to a preferred embodiment, the functional surface is a head cover flange of the cylinder head. The head cover flange refers in particular to the surface of the cylinder head directed towards the (later) valve cover. Advantageously, the top core is constructed or designed such that it only shapes the contour of the lid flange, while the other areas of the lid flange are shaped by the ingot mould, in other words by the permanent mould.
According to a preferred embodiment, the functional surface is a (later) sealing surface of the casting. Further preferably, the functional surface has an open or closed extension. Particularly preferably, the surface is meandering or has a curvature, a radius, an arc, etc., and/or also has a straight section.
Preferably the ingot mould comprises two movably arranged, in particular turnable or rotatable (permanent) mould parts, which are laterally movable towards the top core. Advantageously, the core can thus be simply fixed between the mould parts, according to one embodiment the core is first placed and the two mould parts are subsequently turned downwards. It should be pointed out here that, advantageously, in the ingot mould, other cores, such as water-jacket cores and oil-chamber cores, cores for inlet ducts and exhaust ducts, etc., can also be provided in addition to the top core. They may in particular be positioned below the core.
According to one embodiment, the core and the mold part have shaping surfaces for shaping the functional surface, which transition into one another without a displacement. Expediently, a functional surface without steps, in particular a planar cover flange surface, is formed thereby. Alternatively, a misalignment between the mould parts and the shaping surface of the top core may be provided if the geometry of the functional surface requires so.
According to one embodiment, the length of the core corresponds to the length of the component in the longitudinal direction (of the component). This means that the top core is as long as the component, but at the same time preferably has a width which is considerably smaller than the width of the component, since the ingot mould, in particular the two movably arranged mould parts, can be said to be arranged on both sides of the top core. Alternatively, the core covers only a portion of the length of the member and its entire width. Or the top core covers neither the length nor the width of the component completely, but is surrounded on all sides by (permanent) mould parts.
According to one embodiment, the core has a plurality of cylindrical or substantially cylindrical or conically tapering casting heads. Advantageously, the solidification directed towards the casting head may be achieved by an elongated core comprising the casting head.
The casting heads are preferably arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the component, in particular the cylinder head. An optimal and uniform filling of the mold can thereby be achieved. In addition, the dead head volume can be kept small. Due to the minimal size of the core, it is no longer thermally insulated and therefore an optimal solidification oriented in the direction of the casting head is possible.
According to one embodiment, the core has at least one profiled element which is designed to shape a bearing point in the functional surface, in particular a bearing recess in the lid flange. It is therefore expedient that the shaping surface of the core is not completely flat or planar, but may have projections and/or recesses in order to integrate possible additional geometries or shapes in the functional surface. The bearing tunnel serves in particular for the arrangement and bearing of the camshaft.
According to one embodiment, at least one of the mold parts has a shaping element which is designed to shape a bearing point in the functional surface, in particular a bearing recess in the lid flange. The description of the core forming element applies here.
The invention also relates to a method for producing a component, in particular a cylinder head, comprising the following steps:
providing an ingot mould and a top core;
the functional surface of the component is shaped by the top core and at least partly by the ingot mould.
The advantage is that the functional surfaces of the component are formed simultaneously by the ingot mould and the core, in particular the top core. This method allows the top core, which is preferably made of sand, to be shaped as small as possible and the ingot mould or the corresponding mould part of the ingot mould as large as possible.
The invention also relates to the use of an ingot mould according to the invention or of a method according to the invention in the manufacture of a motor vehicle.
The advantages and features mentioned in connection with the ingot mould are analogously and correspondingly applicable to the method and the application, and vice versa.
