Abstract

The casting mold is provided with: the molding wall portion forming the internal space; the supporting portion supports the heater to the molding wall portion; and the filling port allows the molten metal to flow into the internal space. The heater has: the end portion (the fixed portion) supported by supporting portion; and the extending portion extended from the end portion. The internal space has: the supporting region accommodating the end portion; and the extending region accommodating the extending portion. The filling ports respectively open to the portions of the molding wall portion facing the supporting regions.

Claims (25)

1. A heater unit casting mold for molding a cast part becoming the heater unit by filling molten metal into an internal space in which a heater is installed, the heater unit casting mold comprising:

a molding wall portion configured to form the internal space;

a supporting portion configured to support the heater to the molding wall portion; and

a filling port configured to allow the molten metal to flow into the internal space, wherein the heater has:

a fixed portion configured to be supported by the supporting portion; and

an extending portion configured to be extended from the fixed portion, the internal space has:

a supporting region configured to accommodate the fixed portion; and

an extending region configured to accommodate the extending portion,

the supporting region and the extending region are arranged so as to be aligned in a direction perpendicular to a flowing direction of the molten metal, and

the filling port opens only to a portion of the molding wall portion facing the supporting region.

2. The casting mold according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of the supporting portions, wherein the heater is provided with the extending portion extending over a plurality of the fixed portions.

3. The casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein the filling port is formed at a position facing the supporting portion.

4. The heater unit casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein the extending portion is a spiral metal pipe.

5. A manufacturing method of a heater unit for molding a cast part becoming the heater unit by filling molten metal into an internal space of a casting mold in which a heater is installed, wherein the casting mold is provided with:

a molding wall portion configured to form the internal space;

a supporting portion configured to support the heater to the molding wall portion; and

a filling port configured to allow the molten metal to flow into the internal space, the heater has:

a fixed portion configured to be supported by the casting mold; and

an extending portion configured to be extended from the fixed portion, the internal space has:

a supporting region configured to accommodate the fixed portion; and

an extending region configured to accommodate the extending portion, the supporting region and the extending region are arranged so as to be aligned in a direction perpendicular to a flowing direction of the molten metal, and

the manufacturing method comprising:

an installation process of installing the heater in the casting mold; and

a filling step of allowing the molten metal to flow into the internal space through the filling port, the filling port being configured to open to a portion of the molding wall portion facing the supporting region.

6. The manufacturing method of the heater unit according to claim 5 , wherein a spiral metal pipe is cast as the heater.
