Sand-introducing-type sand molding machine

Abstract

A sand-introducing-type sand molding machine is provided, wherein the apparatus produces a sand mold by leading molding sand into a molding flask or a molding space and filling the space with it by using compressed air, and controlling the pressure-variation inside the sand tank to cause it to correspond to the pattern shape by supplying the compressed air. The apparatus comprises a sand tank 1 for pressing the molding sand by the compressed air that is equipped with compressed air supplying devices to fluidize the molding sand, a communicating tube 2 that communicates with the sand tank 1 , a plurality of adjusting means 5 for adjusting the pressure and flow of the compressed air that are installed in parallel, and each outlet of which is connected to the communicating tube 2 , and each inlet of which is connected to the source of the compressed air 4 a , an electro-pneumatic proportional valve 6 , of which the supply and discharge ports are respectively connected to the source of the compressed air 4 b and to the communicating tube 2 , a pressure-detecting means 7 that is provided on the sand tank 1 for detecting the pressure inside it, and a controller 8 that controls the operations of the plurality of the adjusting means 5 and the electro-pneumatic proportional valve 6 that is electrically connected to the plurality of the adjusting means 5 and the pressure-detecting means 7 and the electro-pneumatic proportional valve 6.
