The embodiment described below by referring to the drawings is exemplary, only for explaining the utility model, and can not be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0018] As Figures 1-2 Indicated, the casting mold of the upper air chamber of air spring proposed in this embodiment includes upper die 1 and lower die 3, and the upper die 1 and the lower die 3 are provided with a cavity for forming the side-lying upper air chamber 5, and the upper die 1 and the lower die 3 further include:

[0019] Core -pulling I 2 and core -pulling II 4 are respectively used for forming the two end portions of the upper air chamber 5 and the end portion inner cavity, and the shapes thereof are matched with the two end portions of the upper air chamber 5 and the end portion inner cavity respectively;

[0020] Sand core 6 is provided with integral structure and is used for forming the inner surface of the upper air chamber 5, and the shape thereof is matched with the inside of the upper air chamber 5.

[0021] Among them, the sand core 6 is located between the core -pulling I 2 and the core -pulling II 4, and the sand core 6 is positioned on the core -pulling I 2 and is positioned and fixed by the core -pulling II 4.

[0022] Specifically, the cavity is located between the lower end face of the upper mold 1 and the upper end face of the lower mold 3, and is used to form the outer surface of the upper air chamber 5, the shape of which matches the outer surface of the upper air chamber 5.

[0023] Thus, with the mold arrangement scheme of upper mold 1, lower mold 3, core pulling I 2, core pulling II 4 and integral sand core 6, the upper air chamber 5 is arranged on its side, the integral sand core structure is simple, and core pulling I 2 and core pulling II 4 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the upper air chamber 5, avoiding affecting the arrangement of the gating, shrinkage compensation channel and cooling channel, and can better ensure the internal quality of the parts.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper mold 1 and lower mold 3 are also equipped with runners, shrinkage compensation channels, and cooling channels. Since the positions of core pullers I2 and II4 on the upper air chamber 5 and the area they occupy on the surface of the upper air chamber 5 are relatively small, they will not affect the arrangement of the runners, shrinkage compensation channels, and cooling channels, thus ensuring the internal quality of the parts.

[0025] Specifically, the gating system, shrinkage compensation channel, and cooling channel are arranged on the lower end face of the upper mold 1 and the upper end face of the lower mold 3.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate demolding, the outer ends of core pull I2 and core pull II4 extend outside the mold closing ends of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 3, respectively.
