contents In this work, we investigate the heavy-flavor conserving weak decays of charmed baryons, specifically the processes $Ξ_{c} \to Λ_{c} π$ and $Ω_{c} \to Ξ_{c} π$, where the pole model is employed to account for the nonfactorizable contributions. Additionally, the nonperturbative parameters involved are determined within the framework of the nonrelativistic quark model, utilizing exact baryon wave functions obtained by solving the Schrödinger equation with a nonrelativistic potential. By considering the mixing angle $θ\in (24.4^\circ, 32.4^\circ)$ for $Ξ_{c}-Ξ_{c}^{\prime}$ mixing, we find that the experimental data can be effectively reproduced. Furthermore, we estimate the branching ratios: $\mathcal{B}(Ξ_{c}^{+} \to Λ_{c}^{+} π^{0}) = (8.69 \sim 9.79) \times 10^{-3}$, $\mathcal{B}(Ω_{c}^{0} \to Ξ_{c}^{+} π^{-}) = (11.3 \sim 12.1) \times 10^{-3}$, and $\mathcal{B}(Ω_{c}^{0} \to Ξ_{c}^{+} π^{0}) = (4.67 \sim 5.23) \times 10^{-3}$. These predictions can be tested in ongoing experiments at LHCb, Belle II, and BESIII.
