Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 A typical wheel is firstly shown schematically in , which consists of a spoke 1 and a rim 2 . The spokes 1 are connected to the rim 2 in a material fit and transmit the forces of the hub to the rim 2 .

[0027] figure 2 The front view shows the spoke 1 . It can be seen that the spoke 1 has three different holes. Firstly, a hub hole 3 is arranged centrally, which is surrounded by a total of five concentrically arranged wheel bolt holes 4 . Ventilation holes 5 are additionally provided in the outer regions of the spokes, which are required for the ventilation of the brakes. The hub bore 3 , the wheel bolt bore 4 and the vent hole 5 must be inserted into the spoke with extreme precision, because otherwise the spoke 1 would cause problems during installation into the wheel, such as imbalance, if the dimensional tolerances were exceeded.

[0028] image 3 , 4 and 5 now show the method for manufacturing wheel spokes at three different points in time, wherein,...

Abstract

A method for producing a wheel disk of a vehicle wheel may involve producing the wheel disk produced from a steel blank by hot forming. The blank may be at least partially hardened, preferably press-hardened, during or after the hot forming. The blank may be hot formed using at least one punch and at least one die, and at least one opening may be introduced into the blank using hot trimming means. At least one opening may be introduced during the hot trimming using at least one trimming bolt and an application bolt, wherein the application bolt may have at least one region having a cross-sectional shape that is variable in a longitudinal direction of the application bolt. Using the application bolt, the at least one opening may be calibrated via the variable cross sectional shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing wheel spokes for vehicle wheels, wherein the wheel spokes are produced by hot forming flat blanks made of steel, the flat blanks being at least partially hardened, preferably press hardened, during or after hot forming, wherein the flat The blank is hot formed using at least one punch and at least one die and at least one hole is introduced into the flat blank using a thermal cutting device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a plant for producing wheel spokes from slabs made of steel, wherein the plant is suitable for carrying out hot forming of the slabs into spokes, has at least one punch and at least one die for hot forming and Means are provided for carrying out a thermal cut for introducing at least one hole into the slab. Background technique [0002] The wheels of a motor vehicle are safety components and must therefore be able to permanently withstand high mechanical switching requirements du...
