AI Technical Summary
There are isolated liquid phase areas during solidification of EPB caliper body castings, which leads to shrinkage problems, especially when oil leaks near the bushing holes, which leads to brake failure in severe cases. The existing cooling ribs cannot fully solve this problem.
A gate structure arranged vertically is adopted, including gate cups, horizontal runners, straight runners and risers. Combined with the sand core and through hole design, it ensures directional solidification of the EPB structure, which is earlier than the overall solidification. By setting through holes and boss structures on the bottom of the cylinder bore, directional solidification is achieved.
It effectively avoids the shrinkage of bushing holes, improves the quality stability of castings, ensures the reliability of mass production, avoids subsequent risks, and improves production efficiency and product inspection efficiency.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting, in particular to a structure of an EPB caliper with through holes. Background Art
[0002] EPB, i.e., an electronic parking brake system, is an electronically controlled automatic parking brake system that realizes the parking function by electronically controlling the vehicle's brake. Compared with the traditional handbrake, EPB has the advantages of convenient operation, accurate braking force distribution, automatic release, etc., and has gradually become a common parking brake system on modern vehicles.
[0003] The structure of the EPB caliper body is relatively thick and large compared with the hydraulic area structure of the traditional caliper. Therefore, there is an isolated liquid phase area in the solidification process of the EPB caliper body casting; although cooling fins can increase the local cooling area of the casting and change the solidification mode of the casting, it cannot completely solve the shrinkage porosity of the entire EPB structure, and the shrinkage porosity near the bushing hole will cause oil leakage alarm of the EPB structure, and in severe cases, it will lead to brake failure.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, and provide a structure of an EPB caliper with through holes.
[0005] The specific scheme of the utility model is: a structure of an EPB caliper with through holes, which is arranged vertically and sequentially includes a pouring cup, a first cross runner from top to bottom. The pouring cup is located at the center of the first cross runner. A sprue is provided at each end of the first cross runner. A second cross runner is provided in the middle and at the bottom of each sprue. Each second cross runner extends towards the center line and is provided with a first riser. One side of the first riser facing the center line is connected with an EPB caliper body mold. A through hole is provided at the bottom surface of the cylinder hole of each EPB caliper body mold. A core is installed in the cylinder hole. A boss matching the through hole is provided at the bottom of the core, and the boss penetrates out of the through hole.
[0006] Further, a second riser is provided between two EPB caliper body molds in each horizontal row, and the two EPB caliper body molds share a second riser.
[0007] Further, the diameter of the through hole is 8 - 12 mm, and the length of the through hole is 18 - 20 mm.
[0008] Further, a margin is provided between the first cross runner and the two sprues, and a margin is provided between each sprue and the second cross runner.
[0009] Further, both the first riser and the second riser are cylindrical, the axis of the riser is parallel to the center line, and a riser neck is provided between the first riser and the second riser and the adjacent EPB caliper body mold.
[0010] The utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: Each EPB caliper body casting is provided with a through-hole structure at the bushing hole, enabling the EPB structure to solidify directionally during the solidification process of the casting and earlier than the overall solidification of the casting, ensuring that there is no shrinkage porosity in the bushing hole of the EPB structure, enabling mass production, improving the quality stability of the casting, and avoiding various subsequent risks.

[0017] Refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment is an EPB caliper with a through-hole structure, arranged vertically, and sequentially includes a pouring cup 1 and a first cross-riser 2 from top to bottom. The pouring cup 1 is located at the center of the first cross-riser 2. Each end of the first cross-riser 2 is provided with a sprue 3. The middle and bottom of each sprue 3 are provided with a second cross-riser 4. Each second cross-riser 4 extends towards the center line and is provided with a first riser 5. One side of the first riser 5 facing the center line is connected with an EPB caliper body mold 7. A through-hole 71 is provided at the bottom surface of the cylinder hole of each EPB caliper body mold 7. A core 8 is installed in the cylinder hole. A boss 81 matching the through-hole 71 is provided at the bottom of the core 8, and the boss 81 passes through the through-hole 71.
[0018] Furthermore, a second riser 6 is provided between two EPB caliper body molds 7 in each horizontal row, and two EPB caliper body molds 7 share one second riser 6. Further, the diameter of the through-hole is 8 - 12 mm, and the length of the through-hole is 18 - 20 mm.
[0019] Furthermore, a hemming is provided between the first cross-riser 2 and the two sprues 3, and a hemming is provided between each sprue 3 and the second cross-riser 4.
[0020] Further, both the first riser 5 and the second riser 6 are cylindrical, the axis of the riser is parallel to the center line, and a riser neck is provided between the first riser 5 and the second riser 6 and the adjacent EPB caliper body mold 7.
[0021] The bottom surface of the cylinder hole of each EPB caliper body casting is a through-hole structure, which enables the EPB structure to solidify directionally and earlier than the overall solidification of the casting during the solidification process of the casting, ensuring that there is no shrinkage porosity in the bushing hole, realizing mass production, improving the quality stability of the casting, and avoiding various subsequent risks.
[0022] The EPB caliper body of the present utility model uses a through-hole structure instead of chill, and only needs to grind off the flash subsequently, improving production efficiency. Since the bottom surface of the EPB caliper body made by the present utility model has a through-hole, if there is no through-hole during inspection, it is regarded as a defective product, improving the efficiency of workers in inspecting products.
