[0002] An automotive brake caliper, as a key component of a modern passenger car disc brake system, its core function is that when the vehicle performs a braking operation, the cylinder piston in the brake caliper is driven by high-pressure hydraulic oil transmitted through an oil pipe, and then pushes the friction plate to closely fit the brake disc, and the effective braking of the wheel is achieved through the frictional force between the two, ensuring the vehicle stops safely. Its performance directly affects the safety and stability during vehicle driving.

[0003] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, more stringent requirements have been put forward for the quality standards, performance and production efficiency of the brake caliper body. Especially during the production process of the brake caliper body casting, the control of the casting quality is particularly crucial. Currently, the impact of molten iron on the sand mold during the casting process will cause damage to the sand mold and form defects, which will be directly reflected in the final casting product, resulting in an increase in the defective rate. In addition, although the molten iron will undergo strict filtration treatment before pouring, it is still difficult to completely avoid the residue of trace solid impurities. Once these impurities enter the mold cavity, they may have an adverse impact on the microstructure of the casting, thereby affecting its overall quality and performance.

[0004] Therefore, a casting model structure for reducing sand and slag defects of a large caliper is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
