Abstract

A differential carrier case with an inserted pipe for high pressure casting may include a mold core into which a first end of a pipe is inserted, a mold core pin fixed to the mold core to fix the mold core and the first end of the pipe, a drive core pin inserted into a second end of the pipe, and a thick portion surrounding an outer portion of the pipe.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A differential carrier case with an inserted pipe for pressure casting, the differential carrier case comprising:
a mold core into which a first end of the pipe is inserted;
a mold core pin fixed to the mold core wherein the first end of the pipe is connected to the mold core pin;
a drive core pin inserted into a second end of the pipe
a first portion of the differential carrier case, the first portion surrounding an outer portion of the pipe.

2. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the pipe is formed to have a first concave-convex portion, and a portion of the mold core into which the first end of the pipe is inserted is formed to have a second concave-convex portion, such that the first concave-convex portion at the first end of the pipe and the second concave-convex portion of the mold core are fixedly coupled.

3. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein a protruding portion is additionally formed on an outer diameter at the first end of the pipe, such that the first end of the pipe is inserted and fixed to the mold core.

4. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the pipe is formed in a quadrangular shape, and inserted and fixed to the mold core.

5. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the pipe is formed in an elliptical shape, and inserted and fixed to the mold core.

6. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein a material of the pipe is selected from the group consisting of an aluminum alloy, carbon steel, and stainless steel.

7. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is selected from the group consisting of an aluminum alloy and a magnesium alloy.

8. The differential carrier case of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first portion ranges from 2.0 mm to 35.0 mm.

9. A method of manufacturing a differential carrier case with an inserted pipe, the method comprising:
fixing of the pipe, in which a first end of the pipe is inserted into a mold core, and the pipe is inserted and fixed to a mold core pin fixed to the mold core;
fixing of the pipe, in which the pipe is fixed by a drive core pin inserted into a second end of the pipe; and
pressure casting, in which molten metal is casted by being injected into the mold core.
