Therefore, the torque output by the crankshaft to the outside is periodically changed, and the crankshaft speed is also unstable. In order to improve this situation, a flywheel is arranged at the rear end of the crankshaft. Its function is to store engine energy and overcome the resistance of other components to make the crankshaft rotate uniformly. The flywheel is an inertia wheel on the engine. The flywheel is a large disc-shaped part arranged at the rear end of the engine crankshaft. It has a large moment of inertia and is generally made of gray cast iron. However, the existing gray iron flywheel has the following problems during casting. The shrinkage tendency of gray iron material is low. After a certain feeding is added in the general process, there will be no shrinkage residual in the product. However, when the product itself interferes with shrinkage, it is difficult to feed by conventional process design.

[0031] Specifically, the molten iron is injected into the sprue cup 1, and the molten iron first enters the inside of the vertical sprue 2 through the sprue cup 1, and then is transmitted to the inside of the horizontal sprue 3 under the action of the vertical sprue 2, and is branched to the inside of the two horizontal sprues 3 under the action of the vertical sprue 2, so that the molten iron is gathered in the horizontal sprue 3, and then flows into the inside of the casting 4 through the inner gate on the horizontal sprue 3, and the molten iron is shaped in the inside of the casting 4, thereby completing the casting of the gray iron flywheel, and after the molten iron is injected into the casting 4, liquid can be supplemented into the casting 4 through the top cold riser 5, the flywheel outer ring can be supplemented, and the increased internal cold riser 6 can be used for specific supplementing of the flywheel inner ring, and the flywheel inner ring can realize sequential solidification when solidifying through the local descending surface 7, and through the above process, the flywheel inner ring is supplemented and sequentially solidified when self-solidifying, so that internal shrinkage is avoided, and it is ensured that there is no shrinkage in the flywheel inner ring.
[0032] The vertical sprue 2 is located at the bottom surface of the sprue cup 1, and the vertical sprue 2 extends vertically from the opposite direction of the bottom surface of the sprue cup 1, and the sprue cup 1 is in communication with the inside of the vertical sprue 2 through the connecting part at the bottom surface.

[0043] It should be noted that the local reduction surface 7 is arranged on the corresponding position of the flywheel inner ring opposite to the internal cold riser 6, so that the flywheel inner ring can realize sequential solidification during solidification, and the problem of shrinkage porosity residual in the internal ring is avoided, thereby ensuring that the flywheel inner ring has no shrinkage porosity residual.
[0044] Working principle: During pouring, the molten iron is poured into the vertical runner 2 through the sprue cup 1, and under the action of the vertical runner 2, the molten iron flows along the vertical runner 2 to the horizontal runner 3, and then the molten iron is transmitted to the inside of the casting 4 through the horizontal runner 3, so that the molten iron is formed in the inside of the casting 4. During the forming process, the volume of the molten iron is expanded by the top cold riser 5, which can not only increase the static pressure of the molten iron, but also timely feed the liquid shrinkage and solidification shrinkage of the molten iron during the forming of the casting 4, so as to prevent the problems of shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity of the formed flywheel casting 4, thereby reducing the flywheel top casting deficiency and shrinkage deformation, improving the quality of the flywheel casting 4, and the inner ring of the flywheel is specifically fed by the internal cold riser 6, which can effectively avoid the problem of shrinkage porosity of the flywheel inner ring. Through the setting of the top cold riser 5 and the internal cold riser 6, the feeding area can be increased, and the effect of uniform feeding can be better achieved, so as to ensure the uniformity of the casting 4 and meet the dynamic balance requirement. At the same time, the local reduction surface 7 is arranged on the corresponding position of the flywheel inner ring opposite to the internal cold riser 6, so that the flywheel inner ring can realize sequential solidification during solidification, and the problem of shrinkage porosity residual in the internal ring is avoided, thereby ensuring that the flywheel inner ring has no shrinkage porosity residual. Through the above process, the flywheel inner ring can be sequentially fed and solidified during self-solidification, and the flywheel inner ring has no shrinkage porosity residual.
