Abstract

A core discharge device is provided for discharging a sand core from a cast material in which the sand core contains a binder having water glass. The core discharge device includes a humidified gas supply device that supplies humidified gas to the sand core inside the cast molded article. The humidified gas is a gas to which humidity has been added and from which droplets have been removed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A core discharge device for discharging a core from a cast material, the core being a sand core containing a binder that contains water glass, and the core discharge device comprising:
a humidified gas supply device that generates a humidified gas, removes droplets from the humidified gas, and supplies the humidified gas from which the droplets have been removed to the sand core inside a cast molded article.

2. The core discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein
the humidified gas has a temperature of 40° C.-100° C.

3. The core discharge device according to claim 2 , further comprising
a recovery device that recovers the humidified gas supplied to the sand core and supplies same to the humidified gas supply device.

4. The core discharge device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a recovery device that recovers the humidified gas supplied to the sand core and supplies same to the humidified gas supply device.

5. The core discharge device according to claim 1 , wherein the humidified gas supply device includes a droplet removing device.

6. The core discharge device according to claim 5 , wherein the droplet removing device is a demister.

7. A core discharge method for discharging a core from a cast material, the core being a sand core containing a binder that contains water glass, and the method comprising
a humidified gas supply step for supplying humidified gas, to which humidity has been added, to the sand core inside a cast molded article, and
a droplet removing step for removing droplets from the humidified gas before supplying the humidified gas.

8. The core discharge method according to claim 7 , wherein
the humidified gas has a temperature of 40° C.-100° C.

9. The core discharge method according to claim 8 , further comprising
a recovery step for recovering the humidified gas supplied to the sand core, wherein the recovered humidified gas is used in the humidified gas supplying step.

10. The core discharge method according to claim 7 , further comprising
a recovery step for recovering the humidified gas supplied to the sand core, wherein the recovered humidified gas is used in the humidified gas supplying step.
