This invention discloses a
casting apparatus and
casting process for lead-free
brass water meter housings, relating to the field of
brass casting technology. It includes a main body, a fixing unit, a pretreatment unit, a pneumatic unit, and a
control unit. The fixing unit clamps the water meter housing; the
control unit monitors the casting temperature in real time via a temperature sensor. When the water meter housing is in the hot brittle range above 300°C, the air supply unit only outputs
airflow for gentle cooling to prevent deformation and
cracking of the casting. When the temperature drops to 200°C from 300°C, the air supply unit outputs high-pressure
airflow to drive a vibrating unit, using high-frequency self-excited oscillation to break down and peel off the internal
molding sand. When the temperature drops below 200°C, the air supply unit outputs pulsed
airflow to drive a striking unit, reciprocatingly striking the outer wall of the water meter housing to remove residual
molding sand. Finally, the extraction unit uses negative pressure to extract and separate the
molding sand. This invention solves the problem of easy damage or difficult sand removal of lead-free
brass water meter housings at different cooling stages, achieving efficient and non-destructive sand removal.
