Abstract

The casting mold is provided with: the molding wall portion forming the internal space; and the filling ports that open to the molding wall portion and that allow the molten metal to flow into the internal space. In this configuration the channel center lines of the filling ports intersect the surface of the heater at the non-perpendicular contact angle.

Claims (19)

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

a molding wall portion configured to form the internal space; and

a filling port configured to open at the molding wall portion, the filling port being configured to allow the molten metal to flow into the internal space, wherein

the structure is a metal pipe having a spiral portion, and

a center line of the filling port intersects a curved surface of the spiral portion of the structure in a tangent line direction.

2. The casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein

a pair of the filling ports configured to extend in directions in which the pair of filling ports are gradually separated away from each other towards the internal space from a runner for guiding the molten metal.

3. The casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein the molding wall portion is provided with a fin molding portion for molding a fin in the cast part.

4. The casting mold according to claim 1 , further comprising a small filling port having an opening width smaller than the filling port, the small filling port being configured such that a center line thereof intersect the surface of the structure at a substantially perpendicular contact angle.

5. The casting mold according to claim 4 , wherein

the small filling port faces the internal space so as to face a gap formed in the structure.

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

a molding wall portion configured to form the internal space; and

a filling port configured to open at the molding wall portion, the filling port being configured to allow the molten metal to flow into the internal space,

the structure is a metal pipe having a spiral portion,

a center line of the filling port intersect a curved surface of the spiral portion of the structure in a tangent line direction, and

the manufacturing method comprising

a filling step for filling the molten metal into the internal space through the filling port.

7. The manufacturing method of the cast part according to claim 6 , wherein a spiral metal pipe is cast as the structure.
