DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0034] See also Figure 1-10 As shown: a friction welding joint of a hollow shaft blank, comprising a first hollow shaft 1 and a second hollow shaft 2, the end surface of the first hollow shaft 1 is set as a first welding surface 11, the end surface of the second hollow shaft 2 is set as a second welding surface 21, the first welding surface 11 and the second welding surface 21 correspond to each other, the inner circumference of the first welding surface 11 is provided with a first prefabricated groove 12, the inner circumference of the second welding surface 21 is provided with a second prefabricated groove 22, the first prefabricated groove 12 and the second prefabricated groove 22 correspond to each other;

[0035] The inner diameter and outer diameter of the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 are consistent, and the thickness of the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 is between five millimeters and ten millimeters. In this embodiment, the thickness is seven millimeters;

[0036] When this embodiment is working, the first hollow shaft 1 is clamped by the jaw clamp and the push rod, and the second hollow shaft 2 is clamped by the spindle clamp, and the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 are kept coaxial, and the second hollow shaft 2 is first rotated around the axis by the spindle clamp, and then the first hollow shaft 1 is brought closer to the second hollow shaft 2 by the jaw clamp and the push rod, so that the first welding surface 11 of the first hollow shaft 1 and the second welding surface 21 of the second hollow shaft 2 are butted and rubbed, the friction interface is heated, and the metal in the welding zone undergoes radial plastic flow. When the temperature value of the welding zone reaches the expected temperature value, the upsetting braking is started, and the upsetting pressure is maintained for a period of time. The welding is completed after the workpiece stops rotating. When completed, the plastic metal moves into the first prefabricated groove 12 and the second prefabricated groove 22, so that the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 of different materials can be fully and tightly connected together through friction welding, and the thickness of the connecting part is consistent with the two, and at the same time, the generation of internal curling can be greatly reduced, and the protrusion of the internal curling of friction welding can be reduced.

[0037] The vertical section of the first prefabricated groove 12 is arc-shaped. When working, the first prefabricated groove 12 guides the flow of plastic metal through the arc-shaped vertical section structure, and forms a volume area with a larger capacity to accommodate the plastic metal, thereby reducing the height of the plastic metal protruding from the inner peripheral side wall of the first hollow shaft 1.

[0038] The second prefabricated groove 22 is asymmetrical with the first prefabricated groove 12. During operation, the asymmetrical structure of the first prefabricated groove 12 and the second prefabricated groove 22 effectively reduces the speed at which the plastic metals on both sides are converted into a higher circumferential expansion due to the pressure generated by friction during the heat generation stage, thereby improving the filling rate of the plastic metal.

[0039] The second prefabricated groove 22 is provided with a first inclined surface 221, a second inclined surface 222, a guide arc surface 223 and a guide bottom surface 224 in sequence from one end close to the second welding surface 21 to the other end away therefrom. The first inclined surface 221 and the second inclined surface 222 are used to control the flow speed of the plastic metal toward the guide bottom surface 224, and the guide arc surface 223 is used to control the storage capacity of the plastic metal, thereby increasing the capacity for accommodating the plastic metal, further promoting the inner diameter of the plastic metal to be consistent with the inner diameter of the second hollow shaft 2, thereby avoiding the plastic metal protrusion to form a larger burr, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the inner burr.

[0040] The vertical cross-section of the first prefabricated groove 12 is an arc structure, the curvature b of the first prefabricated groove 12 is between 3π / 7 and 4π / 7, and the ratio of the width a of the first welding surface 11 to the arc radius c of the first prefabricated groove 12 is between 13:20 and 16:20. The arc structure of the first prefabricated groove 12 facilitates accurate estimation of the volume of the plastic metal contained therein and the flow rate of the plastic metal, thereby facilitating accurate control of the inner flash and preventing the inner flash from being excessively protruding.

[0041] The ratio of the width d of the second prefabricated groove 22 to the thickness of the second hollow shaft 2 is between 1:6 and 3:8, the angle e between the first inclined surface 221 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is an acute angle, and the range of the angle e between the first inclined surface 221 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is between forty degrees and fifty degrees, the range of the projection length f of the first inclined surface 221 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is between half a millimeter and one millimeter, the angle g between the second inclined surface 222 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is an obtuse angle, and the range of the angle g between the second inclined surface 222 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is between 100 degrees and 120 degrees, and the second inclined surface 221 is an obtuse angle. The projection length h of 222 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is in the range of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, the curvature i of the guide arc surface 223 is in the range of 4π / 7 to 5π / 7, the radius j of the guide arc surface 223 is in the range of 1.5 mm to 2 mm, the projection length m of the second prefabricated groove 22 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is in the range of 4 mm to 6 mm, the guide bottom surface 224 is perpendicular to the inner peripheral side surface of the second hollow shaft 2, the width of the guide bottom surface 224 is in the range of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, and the guide bottom surface 224 and the second inclined surface 222 are tangent to the second hollow shaft 2 on the vertical section;

[0042] By making the angle e between the first inclined surface 221 and the vertical side surface in the vertical section an acute angle and the angle g between the second inclined surface 222 and the vertical side surface in the vertical section an obtuse angle, the convex portion formed by the first inclined surface 221 and the second inclined surface 222 controls the flow speed and flow range of the plastic metal. By adjusting the angle g of the second inclined surface 222, the curvature i and radius j of the guide arc surface 223 are adjusted, thereby adjusting the volume of the second prefabricated groove 22 for the plastic metal, and then adjusting the convex height of the inner flash generated by the plastic metal, and correspondingly adjusting the different first hollow shafts 1 and the second hollow shafts 2 to avoid the appearance of inner flash and form an optimal connection structure.

[0043] An optimal example of this embodiment is that the width d of the second pre-groove 22 is two millimeters, the angle e between the first inclined surface 221 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is forty-five degrees, the angle g between the second inclined surface 222 and the vertical side surface on the vertical section is one hundred degrees, the projection length f of the first inclined surface 221 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is 0.75 millimeters, the projection length h of the second inclined surface 222 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is three millimeters, and the projection length m of the second pre-groove 22 in the horizontal direction on the vertical section is five millimeters.

[0044] When the utility model is in use, the staff clamps the first hollow shaft 1 through the jaw clamp and the push rod, clamps the second hollow shaft 2 through the spindle clamp, and keeps the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 coaxial, first rotates the second hollow shaft 2 around the axis through the spindle clamp, and then brings the first hollow shaft 1 closer to the second hollow shaft 2 through the jaw clamp and the push rod, so that the first welding surface 11 of the first hollow shaft 1 and the second welding surface 21 of the second hollow shaft 2 are butted and rubbed, the friction interface is heated, and the metal in the welding zone undergoes radial plastic flow. When the temperature value of the welding zone reaches the expected temperature value, the upsetting braking starts, and the upsetting pressure is maintained for a period of time. After the workpiece stops rotating, the welding is completed. When the workpiece stops rotating, the plastic metal moves into the first prefabricated groove 12 and the second prefabricated groove 22, so that the first hollow shaft 1 and the second hollow shaft 2 of different materials can be fully and tightly connected together through friction welding, and the thickness of the connecting part is consistent with the two, and at the same time, the generation of internal curling can be greatly reduced, and the protrusion of the internal curling of friction welding can be reduced;

[0045] During operation, the arc structure of the first prefabricated groove 12 allows the first prefabricated groove 12 to guide the flow of the plastic metal and form a volume area with a larger capacity to accommodate the plastic metal, thereby reducing the height of the plastic metal protruding from the inner peripheral side wall of the first hollow shaft 1, facilitating accurate estimation of the volume of the plastic metal and the flow rate of the plastic metal, thereby facilitating accurate control of the inner flash edge and preventing the inner flash edge from protruding excessively. The asymmetric structure of the first prefabricated groove 12 and the second prefabricated groove 22 effectively reduces the speed at which the plastic metal on both sides is converted into a higher circumferential expansion due to the counter pressure during the friction heat generation stage, thereby improving the filling rate of the plastic metal.

[0046] During operation, the angle e between the first inclined surface 221 and the vertical side surface in the vertical section is an acute angle, and the angle g between the second inclined surface 222 and the vertical side surface in the vertical section is an obtuse angle, so that the convex portion formed by the first inclined surface 221 and the second inclined surface 222 controls the flow speed and flow range of the plastic metal. By adjusting the angle g of the second inclined surface 222, the curvature i and radius j of the guide arc surface 223 are adjusted, thereby adjusting the volume of the second prefabricated groove 22 for the plastic metal, and then adjusting the convex height of the inner flash generated by the plastic metal. Targeted corresponding adjustments are made to different first hollow shafts 1 and second hollow shafts 2 to avoid the appearance of inner flash and form an optimal connection structure, further promoting the inner diameter of the plastic metal to be consistent with the inner diameter of the second hollow shaft 2, avoiding the plastic metal convexity to form a larger flash, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the inner flash.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
