Casting machine

Abstract

A casting machine ( 1 ) having a device for controlling a movement of the foundry ladle ( 9 ), and a control cam ( 33 ) having a roller path ( 29 ) on which the foundry ladle ( 9 ) is movably carried is provided. The casting machine further includes a lifting device for lifting the foundry ladle ( 9 ) prior to tilting and lowering of the foundry ladle ( 9 ) once it has been emptied for filling it with molten material. The foundry ladle ( 9 ) is mounted so as to swing about a vertical axis (A) from the casting position to an exchange position.

1 . A casting machine ( 1 ) with a device for controlling movement of a foundry ladle ( 9 ), comprising a control cam ( 33 ) with roller paths ( 29 ), on which the foundry ladle ( 9 ) is supported in a displaceable manner, and a lifting device for lifting the foundry ladle ( 9 ) prior to tilting and for lowering the foundry ladle ( 9 ) after emptying and for refeeding with a new melt, wherein the foundry ladle ( 9 ) is suspended unilaterally and is supported pivotally around a vertically arranged axis (A) for movement from a casting position to an exchange position.  
   
   
       2 . A casting machine according to  claim 1 , wherein a carrying car ( 23 ) carrying the foundry ladle ( 9 ) and the control cam ( 33 ) is pivotally supported on the axis (A).  
   
   
       3 . A casting machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the pivot axis (A) is arranged between a carrying car ( 23 ) for the foundry ladle ( 9 ) and a holding plate ( 21 ).  
   
   
       4 . A casting machine ( 1 ) having a device for controlling movement of a foundry ladle ( 9 ), comprising a control cam ( 33 ) with roller paths ( 29 ), on which the foundry ladle ( 9 ) is movably supported, and a lifting device for lifting the foundry ladle ( 9 ) prior to tilting and for lowering the foundry ladle ( 9 ) after emptying and for refeeding with a new melt, wherein the foundry ladle ( 9 ) is suspended unilaterally from a carrying car ( 23 ), and two pairs of rollers ( 25 ,  27 ) are mounted on the carrying car ( 23 ), with an inner roller of each pair of rollers ( 25 ,  27 ) being supported and rolling on an interior roller path and an exterior roller being supported and rolling on an exterior roller path on the control cam ( 33 ).  
   
   
       5 . A casting machine according to  claim 4 , wherein the control cam comprises two control cams ( 33 , 35 ) which include two roller paths ( 29 ,  31 ) each, which are positioned parallel to and offset from one another.  
   
   
       6 . A casting machine according to  claim 5 , wherein at an upper roller path ( 29 ), subsequent to a linear upper section ( 41 ), one intermediate section ( 43 ) follows, which provides for a lowering and displacement movement for a spout ( 11 ) of the foundry ladle ( 9 ), which is tilted more than a subsequent section ( 47 ) for initiating a tilting motion for casting.
