[0025] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "up, down, left, right" contained in a term merely represent the direction of the term in normal use, or are common names understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0027] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The utility model provides an integrated casting mold for a differential casting, which includes an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The upper mold surface of the upper mold 1 is partially recessed to form a plurality of upper mold cavities capable of accommodating end cover sand cores 3. The lower mold surface of the lower mold 2 is partially recessed to form a plurality of lower mold cavities capable of accommodating shell sand cores 4. An intermediate partition 5 is formed between the end cover sand core 3 and the shell sand core 4, and a cavity for accommodating the intermediate partition 5 is formed between the upper mold cavity and the lower mold cavity; wherein the end cover sand core 3, the shell sand core 4 and the intermediate partition 5 are an integrated structure.

[0028] The above technical solution modifies the sand core structure. Specifically, a central partition 5 is added to the sand core, integrating the shell sand core 4 and the end cap sand core 3. This allows the shell and cap to be produced simultaneously in the same mold, thereby improving the casting process yield and production efficiency. Furthermore, the need for a set of outer molds and sand core boxes is eliminated, reducing the cost and cycle of new product development and lowering the cost of mass production.

[0029] In this embodiment, when casting the differential casting, it is necessary to place the integrated sand core into the upper mold 1 or the lower mold 2, and then close the mold for shaping. In order to ensure that the sand core can be accurately placed in the predetermined position on the mold when installing, it is preferably as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one positioning block 6 is circumferentially provided at the edge of the middle partition 5, and positioning grooves 7 are provided on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 at positions corresponding to the positioning blocks 6. Thus, the mutual matching between the positioning blocks 6 and the positioning grooves 7 greatly improves installation accuracy and ensures a long casting cycle.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to be able to use the same mold to cast the shell and the end cover at the same time, preferably, a main runner is formed at the center position of the upper mold 1, and the main runner forms a first-level runner on the left and right sides. The first-level runner forms a second-level runner in the upper and lower directions, and a plurality of final runners are formed on the secondary runner radiating outward, and each final runner is connected to the upper mold cavity.

[0031] Similarly, a main runner is preferably formed at the center of the lower mold 2, and the main runner forms a first-level runner on the left and right sides. The first-level runner forms a second-level runner in the upper and lower directions, and the second-level runner diverges outward to form multiple final runners, and each final runner is connected to the lower mold cavity.

[0032] The internal flow channels of the mold with the above structure are evenly and reasonably distributed, so that the subsequent molten metal flows smoothly and evenly during casting, and the casting effect of the finished product is further improved. On this basis, it is further preferred that multiple final runners are symmetrically distributed vertically and horizontally.

[0033] Furthermore, to further enhance the casting effect and prevent interference between the castings during the casting process, which could affect the casting's shape, each intermediate partition 5 is preferably formed with a chamfer 8 to prevent interference. Furthermore, the presence of the chamfer 8 complements the vertically and bilaterally symmetrical distribution of multiple final runners, meeting the casting process layout requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, to maximize the number of finished castings produced from the same mold, it is preferable that the upper or lower mold cavities, connected to multiple final runners, be fully distributed across the mold's mating surface. This allows all possible casting conditions to be utilized, maximizing the mold's casting yield and utilization.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0037] In addition, the various embodiments of the present invention may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention.
