At this point the bottom of the conical groove 3 will then be cut away from the blank body 1, exposing a conical hole 8 of for example at least 40mm diameter, formed by the remainder of the conical groove 3.
The tapered bore 8 is used to form a central bore of a subsequent knuckle casting product, preferably as a blank bore inclined downwardly at a predetermined draft angle at a maximum diameter of the tapered bore 8, the maximum diameter of the tapered bore 8 being determined based on the central bore of the casting product and a predetermined machining allowance, wherein the radius of the tapered bore 8 is smaller than the radius of the central bore at the axially corresponding location by the predetermined machining allowance.
As shown in fig. 3, three clamping platforms 6 uniformly distributed in the tapered slot 3 are used as 3D identification references and robot clamping parts. The robot operating tail end stretches into the conical hole 8 to grasp and clamp the clamping platform 6.
Alternatively, the tapered groove 3 is formed corresponding to a tap (not shown) provided in a mold (e.g., upper mold), so as to be formed in exactly the same shape and size as the tap.
For example, the clamping platform 6 may be directly integrally cast by concavely forming a clamping plane mold body portion (female mold, not shown) at a corresponding position of the outer peripheral surface of the split cone.
Furthermore, the blank body 1, for example, has a parting plane flash 5 in the middle blank portion, which is formed by the fit gap between the upper and lower dies, and which needs to be polished off to ensure the contour dimension of the casting blank 7.
Further, the outer peripheral side of the gate portion 2 may be designed as a standard fixed dimension, and the slope of the runner for casting the gate portion 2 may be selected to be in the range of 25 ° ± 5 ° so that the jig is common, and the casting is fixed while sawing the gate portion 2.
