Molding system and molding method

Abstract

A molding system includes a flaskless molding machine configured to mold a cope and a drag and to push out the cope and the drag onto a surface plate bogie positioned at a mold pushing position among a plurality of surface plate bogies being conveyed, and a jacket covering device configured to cover the cope and the drag on the surface plate bogie at the mold pushing position with a jacket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A molding system comprising:
 a flaskless molding machine configured to mold a cope and a drag and to push out the cope and the drag onto a surface plate bogie positioned at a mold pushing position among a plurality of surface plate bogies being conveyed; and   a jacket covering device configured to cover the cope and the drag on the surface plate bogie at the mold pushing position with a jacket.   
     
     
         2 . The molding system according to  claim 1 , wherein the jacket covering device is configured to cover the cope and the drag with the jacket and place a weight on the cope and the drag. 
     
     
         3 . The molding system according to  claim 2 , further comprising a weight cleaning device disposed on an upstream side of the flaskless molding machine in a conveying direction of the plurality of surface plate bogies and configured to clean the weight. 
     
     
         4 . The molding system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a jacket cleaning device disposed on an upstream side of the flaskless molding machine in a conveying direction of the plurality of surface plate bogies and configured to clean an inner surface of the jacket. 
     
     
         5 . The molding system according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a conveying device configured to convey the plurality of surface plate bogies; and   a control unit connected to the conveying device and the flaskless molding machine,   wherein the control unit is configured to generate shift data associating conveying positions with mold-related information, and associate data of at least one of the surface plate bogies, the jacket, and the weight with the shift data.   
     
     
         6 . A molding method comprising:
 molding a cope and a drag and pushing out the cope and the drag onto a surface plate bogie positioned at a mold pushing position among a plurality of surface plate bogies being conveyed; and   covering the cope and the drag on the surface plate bogie at the mold pushing position with a jacket.
