[0041] The length of the main runner 3 is greater than the distance between the first branch runner 4 and the second branch runner 5. Both ends of the main runner 3 protrude from the connection position, playing the role of slag collection and slow flow.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the first branch runner 4 and the second branch runner 5 is 105 mm 2 .
[0043] The first and second branch runners 4 and 5 are connected to each other on one side thereof where the first and second branch runners 4 and 5 are close to each other, with a first water inlet piece 6 and a second water inlet piece 7 being connected to each other.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the first water inlet piece 6 and the second water inlet piece 7 protrude from the connection position with the first branch runner 4 and the second branch runner 5 respectively, playing the role of slag collection and slow flow. The cross-sectional area of the first water inlet piece 6 and the second water inlet piece 7 is 80mm 2 .
[0045] The casting 8 is arranged between the first branch runner 4 and the second branch runner 5, and its two sides are respectively connected to the first water inlet piece 6 and the second water inlet piece 7;
[0046] The big end shaft hole 15 is connected to the top of the casting 8 and has a solid structure inside.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the big end shaft hole 15 is 38 mm.
[0048] Riser 9, connected above the big end shaft hole 15;
[0049] A heat preservation device is provided in the oil groove of the bearing hole of the casting 8;
[0050] The heat-insulating device comprises: a first petal heat-insulating device 11, a second petal heat-insulating device 12, a third petal heat-insulating device 13 and a fourth petal heat-insulating device 14 which are connected in sequence end to end.
[0051] The big end shaft hole 15 and the petal insulation serve as a feeding channel, and are a locking bridge between the bearing installation area and the welding area. The riser 9 is a feeding tool.
[0052] The small end shaft hole extension section 10 is located below the heat preservation device and is connected to the casting 8.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the small end shaft hole extension section 10 is 35 mm.
[0054] A small end shaft hole tapered groove 16 is provided inside the small end shaft hole extension section 10 .
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the slope of the tapered groove 16 of the small end shaft hole is 6°

[0057] The workflow of a casting process model structure for shell shrinkage compensation with small shaft hole difference is as follows:
[0058] The process model structure forms a sand model cavity. The molten iron flows into the filter plate at the bottom through the vertical runner, which filters out most of the impurities in the molten iron and slows down the flow rate of the molten iron. The molten iron enters the main runner 3 through the outlet of the filter plate, and is then diverted from the main runner 3 to the first branch runner 4 and the second branch runner 5. When the molten iron flows through the main runner 3 and the branch runner, it will undergo two slag collection and slow flow processes, and finally enter the casting 8 through the first water inlet plate 6 and the second water inlet plate 7. After the molten iron enters the casting 8, it continues to fill from bottom to top, first filling the small end shaft hole extension section 10, the small shaft hole, the main body, the welding area, and the large end shaft hole 15. Finally, the riser 9 is filled. The riser 9 is located at the top, and the static pressure of the molten iron at the top riser increases the shrinkage compensation capacity of the riser 9.
[0059] In this application:
[0060] (1) The 15-hole of the big end shaft is added with a heat preservation structure, a shrinkage channel is added between the bearing assembly area and the welding area, and the inner diameter of the shaft hole is changed to a tapered shape, which will be removed later by drilling process.
[0061] (2) A riser 9 is provided at the top of the shaft hole to improve the shrinkage compensation efficiency of the riser 9 and avoid excessive provision of risers 9 as a whole.
[0062] (3) A small end shaft extension section 10 is provided, and a broken tapered groove is designed on the inner side. The heat junction position of the small end shaft hole is changed by this structure, and an easy-to-cut structure is used, which can be removed by sawing.
[0063] (4) This structure has a wide range of applications and can be horizontally extended to differential cases that are lightweight, have high strength requirements, have high internal defect requirements, have high welding performance requirements, and have good cutting performance.
[0064] (5) This structure can reduce the production cost of similar products and improve product performance.
