Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat fork sand cores, specifically to the shell-core structure of flat fork sand cores. Background Technology
[0002] The swingarm is one of the most important components of a motorcycle. After lightweight design, swingarm parts are all hollow structures internally while maintaining overall vehicle strength. In the casting process design of swingarm components, the hollow internal structure is formed using sand cores. Currently, the sand cores used in swingarm casting are solid structures. This structure significantly increases the weight of the sand core, consequently increasing the cost of coated sand. Furthermore, solid sand cores increase the amount of combustion gases generated by the coated sand during casting, and these gases cannot be effectively expelled.
[0003] Therefore, the structure of the flat fork sand core needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a shell-core structure for flat fork sand cores. This type of flat fork sand core is lightweight, and the cost of using coated sand is lower.
