Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting mold technology for drive unit housings of new energy electric vehicles, and particularly to mold cavities for drive unit housings of new energy electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As the core load-bearing component of the motor, the drive unit housing of new energy electric vehicles has a complex structure (including multiple sets of mounting holes, heat dissipation fins and irregularly shaped cavities). It has extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy (tolerance ±0.05mm), internal density (no porosity or shrinkage) and production efficiency. The extrusion casting process can achieve directional filling and feeding of molten metal under high pressure, which improves the density of the casting, greatly increases the tensile strength, and requires no subsequent processing after one-time molding.

[0003] Currently, the mold cavity for the drive unit housing of new energy electric vehicles in existing technologies requires multiple machining processes in traditional sand casting, resulting in low material utilization and insufficient casting strength. Although the existing ordinary die casting process is highly efficient, it is prone to producing subcutaneous porosity, which cannot meet the pressure-bearing performance requirements of the housing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention provides a mold cavity for the drive unit housing of a new energy electric vehicle that solves the problems of low molding accuracy, insufficient efficiency and casting defects in existing processes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mold cavity for a new energy electric vehicle drive unit housing, comprising a mold body, two sprue gates at the top of the mold body, a cavity body inside the mold body located on one side of the two sprue gates, overflow grooves on both sides of the cavity body inside the mold body, and an exhaust system inside the mold body located on one side of the cavity body.

[0006] Preferably, a sprue sleeve is installed at one end of the mold body, and one end of the sprue sleeve is connected to two sub-sprues.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the main sprue and the sprue sleeve are connected by an arc transition, and the two sprues are symmetrically distributed within the mold body.

[0008] Preferably, the ends of the two sprues furthest from the sprue sleeve are connected to the inner sprue at the bottom of the cavity body.

[0009] Preferably, a portion of the overflow channel within the overflow channel is connected to the exhaust channel within the exhaust system.

[0010] Preferably, the mold body has connection holes at all four corners.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention improves upon the traditional single-cavity extrusion casting mold by employing a multi-sprue design. Compared to a single internal runner, this design allows for the more even and comprehensive delivery of molten metal to each gate, maximizing the amount of liquid flowing into the metal cavity and ensuring smooth flow. This increases productivity while meeting the casting's formability requirements. Furthermore, the use of a tubular ingate design fully considers the part's shape characteristics and forming capacity, resulting in high-performance, high-quality castings. The mold runner system consists of multiple sub-runners, with the lower end connected to the main runner within the sprue sleeve and the upper end connected to the main cavity body. The ingate at the connection point with the main cavity body is a tubular ingate. This design combines the part's annular structural characteristics with the casting's filling capacity.
