[0030] in, Figure 1 The reference direction coordinate system of the embodiment of the utility model is given below. Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model is described with reference to the direction shown.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 An embodiment of the utility model provides a brake disc casting mold, including a pouring cup 1, a runner and a cavity, wherein the pouring cup 1 extends vertically and is used to introduce molten iron into the mold, the runner includes a first runner 2 and a second runner 3, the first runner 2 is connected to the pouring cup 1 and extends outward in a first direction, the second runner 3 is connected to the pouring cup 1 and extends outward in a second direction, and a first angle space 5 is formed between the first runner 2 and the second runner 3.

[0032] The mold cavity has a first inlet 6 and a second inlet 7, which serve as inlets for molten iron to enter the mold cavity. The first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mold cavity compared to the center of the mold cavity.

[0033] Among them, the cavity includes a first cavity 4, the first cavity 4 is arranged in a first angle space 5, the first cross runner 2 is connected to the first inlet 6 of the first cavity 4 through a first inner gate 19, and the second cross runner 3 is connected to the second inlet 7 of the first cavity 4 through a second inner gate 20.

[0034] There are a first inlet 6 and a second inlet 7 on both sides of the cavity, which are symmetrically distributed compared to the center of the cavity, to ensure that the molten iron entering the cavity from the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 can enter the cavity evenly, avoiding disturbance and turbulence of the molten iron during the flow. In this way, the temperature difference of the molten iron in each place in the cavity is very small, ensuring that the temperature of each place in the casting is close to the same, which is conducive to the uniform precipitation process of the internal crystal structure during the solidification of the molten iron, thereby ensuring that there are no impurities inside the casting, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the casting, and the mechanical properties are superior and stable, which helps to improve the braking performance of the whole vehicle, while also reducing the occurrence of defective products and reducing the production management costs of the enterprise.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the cavity is circular, and the circular cross section of the cavity is located on the plane defined by the first runner 2 and the second runner 3. In other words, if the first runner 2 extends laterally along the first direction, and the second runner 3 extends laterally along the second direction, the cavity is circular and is laterally arranged in the mold. In this embodiment, the thickness of the cavity along the height direction is thinner, which is more conducive to controlling the speed of molten iron entering the cavity, and is conducive to the uniform precipitation process of the internal crystal structure during the solidification of the molten iron, thereby ensuring that there are no impurities inside the casting and the mechanical properties are excellent and stable.

[0036] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 are both located on the outer peripheral surface of the cavity, and the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 are located on the same diameter of the cavity. The molten iron entering the cavity through the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 can enter the cavity symmetrically and evenly, and the molten iron entering the cavity through the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 is oppositely distributed in the cavity, ensuring that the molten iron can enter the cavity evenly, avoiding disturbance and turbulence of the molten iron during the flow process, and is more conducive to controlling the speed of the molten iron entering the cavity. The temperature difference of the molten iron in each place in the cavity is very small, which is conducive to the uniform precipitation process of the internal crystal structure during the solidification of the molten iron, thereby ensuring that there are no impurities inside the casting, and the mechanical properties are excellent and stable. At the same time, the inlet located on the outer peripheral surface of the cavity can easily control the speed of the molten iron entering the cavity, avoid splashing of the molten iron, burning the cavity wall, absorbing impurities, and ensure stable product quality.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 are of the same size to ensure that the molten iron flows into the cavity at the same rate.

[0038] In addition, the first inlet 6 and the second inlet 7 are relatively small in size, in order to control the speed at which the molten iron enters the cavity, avoid splashing of the molten iron, burn the cavity wall, absorb impurities, and ensure stable product quality.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A first riser 8 is provided outside the first inlet 6, and a second riser 9 is provided outside the second inlet 7. The first riser 8 and the second riser 9 extend upward in the height direction. The riser is designed to be cylindrical in shape, which can store molten iron and replenish molten iron to the cavity at any time to avoid insufficient molten iron in the cavity, which may cause appearance defects of the solidified casting.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The runner includes a third runner 10, which is connected to the pouring cup 1 and extends outwardly along the third direction, and a second angle space 11 is formed between the third runner 10 and the second runner 3.

The second runner 3 is connected to the first inlet 6 of the second cavity 12 through the third inner gate 21, and the third runner 10 is connected to the second inlet 7 of the second cavity 12 through the fourth inner gate 22. In this embodiment, by providing the third runner 10 and the second cavity 12, multiple castings can be obtained by casting at one time, thereby improving production capacity and reducing production costs.

[0041] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The runner includes a fourth runner 13, the fourth runner 13 is connected to the pouring cup 1 and extends outwardly along the fourth direction, a third angle space 14 is formed between the fourth runner 13 and the third runner 10, the cavity includes a third cavity 15, the third cavity 15 is arranged in the third angle space 14, the third runner 10 is connected to the first inlet 6 of the third cavity 15 through the fifth inner gate 23, and the fourth runner 13 is connected to the second inlet 7 of the third cavity 15 through the sixth inner gate 24. In this embodiment, by providing the fourth runner 13 and the third cavity 15, the production capacity can be further improved and the production cost can be reduced.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A fourth angle space 16 is formed between the fourth runner 13 and the first runner 2, the cavity includes a fourth cavity 17, the fourth cavity 17 is arranged in the fourth angle space 16, the fourth runner 13 is connected to the first inlet 6 of the fourth cavity 17 through the seventh ingates 25, and the first runner 2 is connected to the second inlet 7 of the fourth cavity 17 through the eighth ingates 26. In this embodiment, by providing the fourth cavity 17, the production capacity can be further improved and the production cost can be reduced.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2The first runner 2, the second runner 3, the third runner 10 and the fourth runner 13 are evenly distributed around the pouring cup 1, the overall mold structure is symmetrical, and the mechanical properties of different castings have little difference.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The top of the runner is provided with a plurality of protrusions 18, and the plurality of protrusions 18 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the runner. The runner is designed with a plurality of regular protrusion structures for the purpose of stabilizing the flow rate of the molten iron in the runner process, and also for storing the molten iron and replenishing it in time, so as to ensure that the mechanical property value of the casting is higher than the benchmark requirement, and the difference in the mechanical property value of different castings is small.

[0045] The embodiment of the utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical scheme, as well as the protruding structure of the runner and the riser, which can timely compensate for the shrinkage of the molten iron in the cavity during the solidification process, ensure that the temperature of each part of the casting is close to the same, which is conducive to the uniform precipitation of the internal crystal structure, greatly improves the mechanical properties of the casting, helps to improve the braking performance of the whole vehicle, and at the same time reduces the occurrence of defective products and reduces the production management costs of the enterprise.
