Abstract

Provided is a casting die 1 including a base 3 , a lower mold 4 , a horizontal sliding mold 5 , and an upper mold 6 . The lower mold 4 is configured by a lower mold body 10 and a lower mold stage 11 . A guide member 17 is mounted on the lower mold stage 11 so as to freely move in the up and down direction with respect to the lower mold stage 11 . The horizontal sliding mold 5 is configured to slide on the guide member 17 and the lower mold body 10 . The guide member 17 is provided with a locking part 17 a which locks with a lateral edge part of the lower mold body 10 when the lower mold body 10 is separated upward from the lower mold stage 11 , so that the lower mold body 10 and the guide member 17 separate upward together.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A casting die comprising:
a base;
a lower mold arranged on the base;
a horizontal sliding mold which is provided so as to be capable of moving on the lower mold and which has a surface shape corresponding to at least a part of a side face shape of a product to be casted; and
an upper mold which is provided so as to be capable of moving up and down with respect to the lower mold and which has a surface shape corresponding to an upper face shape of the product; wherein,
the lower mold is configured by a lower mold body and a lower mold stage which supports the lower mold body from below,
the lower mold body has a positioning part which abuts the horizontal sliding mold at a mold-closing position of the horizontal sliding mold, and has a surface shape corresponding to a lower face shape of the product,
a guide member is mounted on the lower mold stage so as to freely move in an up and down direction with respect to the lower mold stage,
the horizontal sliding mold is configured to slide on the guide member and the lower mold body, and
the guide member is provided with a locking part configured to lock with a lateral edge part of the lower mold body when the lower mold body is separated upward with respect to the lower mold stage, so that the lower mold body and the guide member are separated upward together.

2. The casting die according to claim 1 ,
wherein the lower mold body is fixed to the lower mold stage via a plurality of spacers which are arranged with an interval between each other.

3. The casting die according to claim 2 , wherein,
the lower mold body includes a support plate provided on an upper face of the lower mold body,
the horizontal sliding mold is configured to slide on the support plate of the lower mold body and the guide member, and
an upper face of the support plate and an upper face of the guide member are set as a flush surface.

4. The casting die according to claim 1 , wherein,
the lower mold body includes a support plate provided on an upper face of the lower mold body,
the horizontal sliding mold is configured to slide on the support plate of the lower mold body and the guide member, and
an upper face of the support plate and an upper face of the guide member are set as a flush surface.
