In order to prevent the molten aluminum from overflowing, it needs to fit with the upper mold, so the thickness of the upper mold is generally set flush with the pouring cup. The height of the pouring cup is related to the pressure angle, which is generally about 1.5-2 times the thickness of the product. The thickness required for the upper mold is generally only 1.1 times the thickness of the product. Due to the height of the pouring cup, a lot of mold space is wasted, and the mold weight increases while the mold material cost also increases. Summary of the invention

[0007] A pouring cup, comprising a pouring stopper and a cup body;
[0008] The gate stopper includes a block body, one side of which is a positioning inclined surface, on which are two symmetrically arranged anti-fire grooves, and the block body has more than two assembly screw holes arranged in a vertical direction; the cup body has a gate, and both sides of the gate are matching inclined surfaces, on which are fireproof grooves, the gate stopper is connected to the upper part of the fireproof groove of the matching inclined surface of the gate through the anti-fire groove of the positioning upper inclined surface, and a positioning boss is provided at the bottom of the gate.

[0011] The block body is a quadrangular column group, and the cross section of the block body is a right-angled trapezoid.
[0012] A gravity casting mold comprises a mold, a pouring cup as described above mounted on one side of the mold, the lower part of the pouring cup being connected to the mold cavity of the mold; the mold comprises an upper mold and a lower mold; a block body on one side of the cup body of the pouring cup is fixed on the upper mold, the bottom surface of the block body is a lower positioning surface corresponding to the upper surface of the upper mold, and a fixing seat at the lower part of the cup body of the pouring cup is fixed to the side surface of the lower mold.
[0013] There is a positioning groove on the side of the mold for positioning the cup body. The bottom of the positioning groove is a positioning step surface that matches the positioning boss at the bottom of the gate. The positioning step surface is located on the lower mold.

[0015] By designing a gate stopper that fits the gate cup and connects to the upper mold, the injection height is increased, thereby reducing the mold thickness and saving materials.
