[0033] Wheel hub castings produced by green sand are prone to defects such as pores and sand holes on the end face of the bearing hole. Since the strength of the sand mold is not high and the height of the casting is much larger than the diameter of the inner cavity of the bearing hole, the core head of the wheel hub is prone to tilt or rotate during the casting process, resulting in the scrapping of the casting. Therefore, a sand core for wheel hub casting is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0034] The scheme is further illustrated by the following examples:

[0035] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a sand core for wheel hub casting according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the casting cavity formed by the upper core head of the sand core when preparing the sand tire.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , the sand core of this embodiment can be used for casting of the wheel hub. That is, the sand core used for wheel hub casting can be used for shaping during the casting process of the wheel hub to obtain a casting mold that meets the requirements of wheel hub production. Specifically, the sand core used for wheel hub casting may include an upper core head 10, a lower core head 20, and an inner core head 30, and the upper core head 10 may form a casting cavity in the sand tire when preparing the sand tire. The lower core head 20 is connected to the sand tire, and the inner core head 30 is accommodated in the casting cavity to form the wheel hub after casting.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper surface of the upper core head 10 can be provided with a connected bearing portion 11 and a spoke portion 12, and the bearing portion 11 and the spoke portion 12 are matched with the bearing mounting portion and the outer shape surface of the spoke of the wheel hub respectively, so that when the upper core head 10 is preparing the sand tire 101, the bearing portion 11 and the spoke portion 12 can form a connected bearing cavity 111 and a spoke cavity 121 in the sand tire 101, and then when the wheel hub is cast, the bearing cavity 111 and the spoke cavity 121 can form the bearing and spoke of the wheel hub.

[0038] In this embodiment, the upper core head 10 may further include an exhaust portion 13 .

[0039] Among them, the exhaust part 13 is connected to the top of the bearing part 11, so that when the upper core head 10 is preparing the sand tire 101, the exhaust part 13 can form an exhaust hole 131 connected to the bearing cavity 111 in the sand tire 101, and when casting, the air in the bearing cavity 111 and the spoke cavity 121 is discharged to avoid the formation of air holes on the hub casting, so as to improve the quality of the casting.

[0040] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Top view of the lower core head of the sand core. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of half the lower core head of the sand core.

[0041] participate Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper surface of the lower core head 20 may be provided with a spoke end 21 .

[0042] The spoke end 21 matches with the outer end surface of the hub, so that during casting, the spoke end 21 can form the end of the hub.

[0043] In this embodiment, a positioning groove 22 may be provided in the spoke end portion 21 , and the positioning groove 22 is used to clamp the inner core head 30 so as to position and support the inner core head 30 .

[0044] It should be noted that the lower core head 20 can be formed in one piece, or can be formed by splicing two symmetrical half lower core heads.

[0045] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 Front view of the inner core head of the sand core. Figure 6 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the inner core head of the sand core cooperating with the sand tire. Figure 7 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the inner core head and the lower core head of the sand core cooperating with each other. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A magnified view of point A.

[0046] See also Figure 5 The inner core head 30 may include two half cores 301, and the two half cores 301 can be spliced ​​together to form the inner core head 30. Specifically, the two half cores 301 are symmetrically arranged along a plane passing through the central axis of the inner core head 30.

[0047] It should be noted that the inner core head 30 is configured as two half cores 301, which can facilitate the installation of the inner core head 30 on the lower core head 20, or facilitate the removal of the inner core head 30 after the pouring is completed. Specifically, when the two half cores 301 are actually used, glue is first applied on the splicing surface of the two half cores 301, so that the two half cores 301 can be spliced ​​together by glue.

[0048] In addition, a support portion 31 and a positioning portion 32 may be provided at the top and bottom of the inner core head 30 , respectively.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner core head 30 can be placed on the spoke end 21, and when the sand tire 101 is assembled to the lower core head 20, the top of the inner core head 30 can extend into the bearing cavity 111 and the spoke cavity 121, so that after pouring and casting, the center hole of the hub can be formed at the inner core head 30.

[0050] Specifically, the support portion 31 can be supported on the top wall of the bearing cavity 111 to support the sand tire 101. The positioning portion 32 can be snapped into the positioning groove 22 to support the inner core head 30 and limit the inner core head 30 from rotating around its own axis, so that after the inner core head 30 is placed on the sand tire 101 and the lower core head 20, the inner core head 30 can be prevented from rotating or tipping relative to the lower core head 20, so that the shape of the center hole formed at the inner core head 30 after casting remains accurate, thereby ensuring the yield of wheel hub casting.

[0051] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A positioning surface 221 and a limiting portion 222 may be formed in the positioning groove 22, and the limiting portion 222 is formed to be recessed downward from the positioning surface 221. At the same time, a top surface 321 and a limiting protrusion 322 are formed on the positioning portion 32, and the limiting protrusion 322 is formed to be protruded downward from the top surface 321.

[0052] In this embodiment, the abutting surface 321 can abut against the positioning surface 221, so that the positioning surface 221 can support the inner core head 30. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 322 can be locked in the limiting portion 222, so that the limiting portion 222 and the side wall of the limiting protrusion 322 can abut against each other, and limit the rotation of the inner core head 30 around its own axis, thereby ensuring that the posture of the inner core head 30 relative to the lower core head 20 remains stable.

[0053] Fig. 9 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the half core of the inner core head of the sand core. Fig.10 yes Figure 1 Bottom view of the inner core head of the sand core.

[0054] See also Figure 3 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The limiting protrusion 322 may include a first protrusion rib 323 and a second protrusion rib 324 that are intersectingly arranged, and a first groove 223 and a second groove 224 may be arranged in the limiting portion 222 .

[0055] Among them, the first groove 223 and the second groove 224 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first raised rib 323 and the second raised rib 324. When the first raised rib 323 and the second raised rib 324 are respectively stuck in the first groove 223 and the second groove 224, the side wall of the first groove 223 can be pressed against the side wall of the first raised rib 323, and the side wall of the second groove 224 can be pressed against the side wall of the second raised rib 324, so that a limit can be formed between the limiting protrusion 322 and the limiting part 222, and the inner core head 30 is limited from rotating relative to the lower core head 20.

[0056] It should be noted that the first raised rib 323 and the second raised rib 324 can be arranged perpendicular to each other, or they can form an angle, so that a limit is formed between the first raised rib 323 and the second raised rib 324 and the limiting portion 222 to prevent the inner core head 30 from rotating relative to the positioning groove 22.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the limiting protrusion 322 can be set as a rectangular column or a triangular column, and the limiting portion 222 can be correspondingly set as a rectangular groove or a triangular column groove, so that a limit can be formed between the limiting protrusion 322 and the limiting portion 222, and the inner core head 30 is limited from rotating relative to the lower core head 20.

[0058] participate Figure 4 and Figure 8 The bottom edge of the positioning groove 22 may also be formed with an exhaust groove 225. The exhaust groove 225 is formed by being recessed downward from the positioning surface 221 to be used for squeezing sand and exhausting air. That is, the exhaust groove 225 can accommodate sand particles that fall during the closing process to prevent the sand particles from affecting the casting.

[0059] In this embodiment, the diameter of the positioning groove 22 is larger than the diameter of the positioning portion 32, so that when the positioning portion 32 can be snapped into the positioning groove 22, the side wall of the positioning portion 32 is spaced apart from the side wall of the positioning groove 22, thereby allowing an exhaust passage to be formed between the side wall of the positioning portion 32 and the side wall of the positioning groove 22, thereby preventing the residual gas in the positioning groove 22 from affecting the casting during pouring.

[0060] It should be noted that a side wall of the exhaust groove 225 is connected to the side wall of the positioning groove 22 , so that the exhaust groove 225 can be connected to the exhaust channel formed between the side wall of the positioning portion 32 and the side wall of the positioning groove 22 for exhaust.

[0061] See also Figure 8 In the axial direction of the inner core head 30, the height from the bottom of the limiting portion 222 to the positioning surface 221 is greater than the height from the bottom of the limiting protrusion 322 to the abutting surface 321, so that after the limiting protrusion 322 is stuck in the limiting portion 222, the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion 322 and the bottom surface of the limiting portion 222 are spaced apart. That is, a cavity is formed between the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion 322 and the bottom surface of the limiting portion 222 to accommodate the fallen sand particles.

[0062] It should be noted that the side wall of the limiting protrusion 322 and the side wall of the limiting portion 222 may also be spaced apart to discharge the residual gas in the cavity formed between the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion 322 and the bottom surface of the limiting portion 222 .

[0063] In this embodiment, since the positioning surface 221 abuts against the abutting surface 321, the inner core head 30 is supported. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 322 is inserted into the limiting portion 222 to limit the rotation of the inner core head 30, so that the support and limiting of the inner core head 30 are set separately. In addition, the side wall of the positioning groove 22 and the side wall of the positioning portion 32 are spaced apart, and the side wall of the limiting portion 222 and the side wall of the limiting protrusion 322 are spaced apart, so that the positioning groove 22 and the positioning portion 32 can be vented. Therefore, through the above-mentioned setting, the inner core head 30 can be limited to ensure the accuracy of the inner core head 30, and the venting between the positioning groove 22 and the positioning portion 32 can be ensured, so as to avoid the formation of pores and sand holes in the casting, thereby improving the yield of the casting.

[0064] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 A supporting surface 311 and a boss 312 are formed on the supporting portion 31 , and the boss 312 is formed to protrude upward from the supporting surface 311 .

[0065] The support surface 311 can abut against the top wall of the spoke cavity 121 to support the sand tire 101. At the same time, the support surface 311 abuts against the top wall of the spoke cavity 121 to prevent sand particles from falling into the spoke cavity 121 and prevent sand holes from forming in the casting.

[0066] In addition, the boss 312 can extend into the bearing cavity 111, so that the bearing cavity 111 can form a limit between the boss 312, and the bearing cavity 111 can limit the inner core head 30 to prevent the inner core head 30 from falling. At the same time, the side wall of the boss 312 and the side wall of the bearing cavity 111 can be spaced apart for exhaust.

[0067] In this embodiment, the diameter of the support portion 31 may be smaller than the diameter of the spoke cavity 121 , so that when the support portion 31 is supported on the top wall of the bearing cavity 111 , the side wall of the support portion 31 is spaced apart from the side wall of the spoke cavity 121 for exhaust.

[0068] In summary, the top and bottom of the inner core head 30 are respectively provided with a support portion 31 and a positioning portion 32, so that the support portion 31 and the positioning portion 32 can respectively cooperate with the bearing cavity 111 and the positioning groove 22 to limit the inner core head 30 and prevent the inner core head 30 from tipping over. At the same time, the positioning portion 32 is provided with a limiting protrusion 322, and the positioning groove 22 is provided with a limiting portion 222, so that the limiting portion 222 can limit the limiting protrusion 322 to prevent the inner core head 30 from rotating around its own axis, so that the inner core head 30 can be connected between the sand tire 101 and the lower core head 20 in a specific posture, thereby improving the yield of the casting.

[0069] In addition, the side walls of the support portion 31 and the positioning portion 32 are spaced from the side walls of the bearing cavity 111 and the positioning groove 22 for exhaust, thereby avoiding the formation of pores in the casting and improving the yield of the casting.
