Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fastener rivet processing, relates to rivet processing die technology, and specifically relates to a thread rolling die for making narrow break groove annular groove rivets. Background Art

[0002] At present, ring groove rivets are widely used in various industries. Some special connecting parts ring groove rivets used in high-speed rail and aviation have narrower breaking grooves than ordinary ring groove rivets. Generally, the breaking groove width is required to be about 0.5mm, or even narrower. The same design structure as the ordinary rivet thread rolling die will result in low strength of the breaking groove die and easy damage. Therefore, the processing of existing narrow breaking groove ring groove rivets usually adopts machining to process the breaking groove.

[0003] The existing conventional break groove thread rolling plate is directly designed according to the break groove shape. Due to the thin teeth and sheet-like structure, when pressing into the product, the unit area is subjected to great pressure and is easily damaged under the working conditions of thread rolling and debugging. There are also break grooves that adopt cutting technology, and the cutting technology requires the purchase of additional equipment. Even if the equipment has automatic feeding and clamping functions, the production efficiency is improved compared to manual operation, but compared with thread rolling, its production efficiency is still greatly different. The speed of processing break grooves by a single device does not exceed 10 pieces per minute.

[0004] For the thread rolling dies of narrow break groove ring groove rivets, especially those with extremely narrow break grooves, in order to meet the life requirements and enable batch thread rolling production while ensuring the width and bottom diameter of the ring groove, save manufacturing costs and improve production efficiency, it is necessary to conduct new exploration, research and design of the thread rolling die structure. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention discloses a thread rolling die for making narrow break groove annular groove rivets according to the shortcomings of the prior art. The present invention aims to provide a thread rolling die with high strength and good stability suitable for processing narrow break groove annular groove rivets.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A thread rolling die for making narrow break groove ring groove rivets, comprising an integrated structure, a locking groove thread rolling plate, a break groove thread rolling plate and a tail groove thread rolling plate arranged transversely, each thread rolling plate of the thread rolling die is a guide section, a shaping section and a stripping section from the front end to the rear end; the characteristics are:

[0008] A break groove thread rolling tooth is arranged in the longitudinal middle of the thread rolling surface of the break groove thread rolling plate introduction section, and the cross section of the break groove thread rolling tooth is a triangular structure, and the angle between the two sides of the triangle and the vertical wall of the break groove thread rolling plate is not greater than 45°; thread rolling grooves are arranged on the thread rolling surface of the break groove thread rolling plate on both sides of the break groove thread rolling tooth; the introduction section is inclined from the front end to the rear end, and the inclination angle of the introduction section is not greater than 2°, so that the break groove thread rolling teeth and the thread rolling grooves of the introduction section gradually rise from the front end to the rear end relative to the thread rolling surface;

[0009] The shaping section of the break groove thread rolling plate is composed of a front bottom diameter shaping section and a rear outer diameter shaping section; the bottom diameter shaping section has the same structure as the rear end connection portion of the break groove thread rolling plate introduction section; the outer diameter shaping section includes a transition section and a plane section, the front end of the transition section is transitionally arranged with the end structure of the bottom diameter shaping section, and the break groove thread rolling teeth are cancelled, and the thread rolling grooves on both sides are gradually contracted to the rear end to the middle of the outer diameter shaping section, forming a plane section of the thread rolling surface structure at the rear of the outer diameter shaping section;

[0010] The front end of the thread rolling surface of the stripping section of the drawing groove thread rolling plate is transitionally arranged with the rear plane of the outer diameter shaping section, and the plane is inclined and opened toward the rear end.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the lead-in section of the break groove thread rolling plate is two to five times the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the thread rolling workpiece.

[0012] Furthermore, the length of the lead-in section of the break groove thread rolling plate is twice the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the thread rolling workpiece.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the bottom diameter shaping section of the breaking groove thread rolling plate is twice the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the thread rolling workpiece, the length of the outer diameter shaping section of the breaking groove thread rolling plate is twice the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the thread rolling workpiece, and the length of the stripping section of the outer diameter shaping section of the breaking groove thread rolling plate is once the diameter of the cylindrical rod of the thread rolling workpiece.

[0014] Furthermore, the angles between the two sides of the triangle in the cross section of the break groove thread rolling teeth and the vertical wall of the break groove thread rolling plate are 20° to 35°.

[0015] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling groove is not less than 80% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling teeth of the same section, and the bottom of the thread rolling groove is a smooth arc transition. The cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling groove is at least not less than 50% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling teeth of the same section.

[0016] Furthermore, the inclined opening of the stripping section of the breaking groove thread rolling plate is an inclined opening formed by an inclined surface or a chamfered corner structure; the angle between the inclined surface and the thread rolling surface is not greater than 10°, and the fillet radius of the chamfered corner structure is not less than the tooth height of the bottom diameter shaping section.

[0017] The ratio of the break groove thread rolling tooth height to the tooth bottom width is 0.5 to 0.75.

[0018] In conventional thread rolling plates, due to the narrow width of the breaking groove of the narrow breaking ring groove rivet, the thread rolling plates processed according to the shape of the narrow breaking groove are insufficient in strength and are easily damaged during the thread rolling process, and the life of the thread rolling plates cannot meet production needs. The thread rolling tooth structure is redesigned, the thread rolling teeth are widened to improve strength, a transition accommodation space for extruded materials is designed, and a back-pressure thread rolling structure is designed. During the thread rolling process of the breaking groove thread rolling plate of the present invention, excess extruded material is accommodated by the thread rolling grooves provided on both sides of the thread rolling teeth, and the majority of the material temporarily stored in the thread rolling grooves is gradually compressed back into the breaking groove by the pressure plate structure behind the thread rolling plate, forming a breaking groove with an extremely narrow width.

[0019] During the entire thread rolling process, the thread rolling die of the present invention first cuts into the ring groove rivet workpiece by the locking groove thread rolling plate or the tail groove thread rolling plate, driving the workpiece to be stably pressed into the break groove thread rolling plate. As the extrusion goes deeper, the locking groove thread rolling plate and the tail groove thread rolling plate jointly complete the forming of the workpiece on the break groove thread rolling plate.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention sets the ratio of the thread rolling tooth height to the tooth width between 0.5 and 0.75. This structure is not only conducive to the thread rolling teeth cutting into the workpiece, but also has sufficient strength and is suitable for the thread rolling of various alloys; a groove material storage structure lower than the thread rolling surface is used to temporarily accommodate the extruded excess material, making the break groove formation more stable, and the subsequent pressure plate structure gradually compresses the majority of the remaining material in the groove back into the break groove to form a break groove with an extremely narrow width. The thread rolling die of the present invention has good processing performance and stability, and the tool strength meets the requirements. The thread rolling can complete the processing of three-stage tooth profiles in one time, and the processing efficiency is greatly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. The specific implementation methods are further descriptions of the principles of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any way. Technologies that are the same or similar to the present invention do not exceed the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Combined with the attached pictures.

[0037] The thread rolling die of the present invention comprises an integrated structure, a locking groove thread rolling plate A, a breaking groove thread rolling plate B and a tail groove thread rolling plate C arranged transversely, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the end face profile of the thread rolling die of the present invention. According to the break groove ring groove rivet thread rolling structure, it is an integrated structure of the locking groove thread rolling plate A, the break groove thread rolling plate B and the tail groove thread rolling plate C. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3It is a schematic diagram of the side profile of the thread rolling die of the present invention. The thread rolling die comprises an introduction section 1, a shaping section 2, and a stripping section 3 from the front end to the rear end.

[0038] The longitudinal center line of the thread rolling surface 6 of the introduction section of the thread rolling plate of the break groove is provided with a break groove thread rolling tooth 5, and the cross section of the break groove thread rolling tooth 5 is a triangular structure, and the angle between the two sides of the triangle and the vertical wall of the thread rolling plate of the break groove is not greater than 45°; the two sides of the cross section triangle of the thread rolling tooth of the break groove of the present invention can also be a triangular structure composed of multiple arcs, or arcs plus straight lines, and the angle between the tangent or straight line of the arc at the bottom end of each side of the approximate triangle and the vertical wall of the thread rolling plate of the break groove is not greater than 45°. The ratio of the height g of the thread rolling tooth of the break groove to the width h of the bottom of the tooth is between 0.5 and 0.75.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the angles between the two sides of the triangle of the break groove thread rolling teeth 5 and the vertical wall of the break groove thread rolling plate include the right angle α1 of the break groove thread rolling teeth and the left angle α2 of the break groove thread rolling teeth. The thread rolling surfaces of the break groove thread rolling plate on both sides of the break groove thread rolling teeth 5 are provided with thread rolling grooves 4, and the break groove introduction section B1 is inclined from the front end to the rear end, and the angle of the inclination E of the introduction section is not greater than 2°, forming the break groove introduction section B1. The break groove thread rolling teeth 5 and the thread rolling grooves 4 gradually rise from the front end to the rear end relative to the thread rolling surface 6; forming a longitudinal Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the structure.

[0040] The shaping section 2 of the break groove thread rolling plate B is composed of a front bottom diameter shaping section B2a and a rear outer diameter shaping section B2b; the bottom diameter shaping section B2a has the same structure as the rear end connecting portion of the break groove introduction section B1, that is, Fig.10 As shown, the structures of the B12 section and the B21 section are the same; the outer diameter shaping section B2b includes a transition section and a plane section, the front end of the transition section is transitionally arranged with the end structure of the bottom diameter shaping section B2a, and the thread rolling teeth 5 of the break groove are cancelled, and the thread rolling grooves 4 on both sides are gradually contracted to the rear end to be cancelled in the middle of the outer diameter shaping section B2b, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, Fig.11 There is no break groove thread rolling tooth 5 in the middle, and the thread rolling grooves 4 on both sides are combined with the thread rolling surface 6, which gradually shrinks to form a plane section of the thread rolling surface 6 structure at the rear of the outer diameter shaping section B2b, such as Fig.12 shown.

[0041] The front end of the thread rolling surface 6 of the stripping section B3 of the thread rolling plate of the breaking groove is transitionally arranged with the rear plane of the outer diameter shaping section B2b, and the plane is inclined and opened toward the rear end.

[0042] Usually, the thread rolling plates on the thread rolling equipment are divided into dynamic thread rolling plates and fixed thread rolling plates, and the design of each tooth on the dynamic thread rolling plates and the fixed thread rolling plates is the same as the product.

[0043] As shown in the figure, the moving thread rolling plate and the fixed thread rolling plate of the ring groove rivet thread rolling die are composed of three sections, namely the introduction section 1, the shaping section 2, and the stripping section 3. The shaping section 2 of the break groove thread rolling plate B of the narrow break ring groove rivet has two sections, namely the break groove bottom diameter shaping section B2a and the break groove outer diameter shaping section B2b. The break groove bottom diameter shaping section B2a and the break groove outer diameter shaping section B2b have different functions. The bottom diameter shaping section B2a stabilizes the bottom diameter size of the break groove, and the same heat treatment process is used to make the break performance close to the same. The outer diameter shaping section B2b first presses most of the extruded material back into the break groove to form an extremely narrow break groove without changing the bottom diameter of the break groove, and secondly makes the cones on both sides of the break groove smoother.

[0044] The present invention calculates the required length of the break groove thread rolling plate B according to the maximum deformation position. The break groove thread rolling plate length = break groove stripping section length + break groove introduction section length + break groove bottom diameter shaping section length + break groove outer diameter shaping section length.

[0045] The length of the stripping section 3 is equal to one times the diameter of the workpiece at the cylindrical rod forming part of the workpiece. The stripping section adopts a bevel opening design or a chamfered corner design. The inclination angle F of the stripping section with a bevel opening design or the inclination angle F of the chamfered corner tangent is not greater than 10°, preferably not greater than 5°. The chamfered corner design has a smoother and larger-amplification stripping space, and the demoulding is performed by chamfering. When demoulding with rounded corners, the radius of the rounded corner should not be less than the tooth height of the thread rolling teeth in the bottom diameter shaping section.

[0046] The lead-in section 1 is tilted at an angle, and the maximum angle of the lead-in section tilt angle E should not be greater than 2°. The length of the lead-in section 1 is 2 to 5 times the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the workpiece before thread rolling, that is, 2πD to 5πD, where D is the diameter of the cylindrical rod of the workpiece. The length of the lead-in section 1 of the locking groove thread rolling plate A or the tail groove thread rolling plate C is not greater than 2 times the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the product workpiece at that location, that is, 2πD. The greater the deformation or the metal that is difficult to deform, the longer the lead-in length is required.

[0047] The length of the bottom diameter shaping section shall not be less than twice the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the workpiece before thread rolling, that is, 2πD; the length of the outer diameter shaping section shall not be less than twice the circumference of the cylindrical rod of the workpiece before thread rolling, that is, 2πD.

[0048] According to the above-mentioned design requirements for the length of the ring groove rivet thread rolling die, determine the thread rolling equipment suitable for installing the thread rolling die of this length. Generally, the longer the length of the lead-in section 1, the better the service life of the thread rolling plate; the longer the length of the shaping section 2, the better the appearance quality of the workpiece after thread rolling and the more stable the size, but it is advisable not to exceed four times the circumference of the workpiece.

[0049] The present invention arranges the breaking groove thread rolling teeth 5 on the longitudinal center line of the thread rolling surface of the breaking groove introduction section B1. The breaking groove thread rolling teeth 5 can be a triangular structure, and can also have other protruding structures. The triangular breaking groove thread rolling teeth 5 are arranged in the front part of the breaking groove introduction section B1. The single-side angle of the triangle is not greater than 45°, and the preferred range is 20° to 35°. The sharp corners of the triangle need to be rounded, and the rounded corners should be as small as possible, preferably not exceeding R0.2. The breaking groove thread rolling teeth 5 can also be a semi-circular arc structure, that is, the tooth profile cross-section is a circular arc structure. The triangle is suitable for a shape structure with a deeper pressing depth and a relatively small deformation; the arc is suitable for a shape structure with a shallower pressing depth and a larger pressing amount.

[0050] In order to accommodate the extruded material of the rivet during the thread rolling process, the thread rolling groove 4 is set on both sides of the bottom end of the thread rolling teeth 5 of the thread rolling groove at the rear of the thread rolling groove introduction section 1. Other shapes of structures can also be set to accommodate the extruded material when the thread rolling plate cuts into the rivet. The space that can accommodate the extruded material structure should not be less than the volume of the extruded material. In this example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling groove 4 is not less than 80% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the thread rolling teeth 5 of the same section, and at least not less than 50%. The bottom of the thread rolling groove is a smooth arc transition.

[0051] The thread rolling surface of the breaking groove bottom diameter shaping section B2a has no angle with the horizontal, and smoothly transitions with the breaking groove introduction section 1 to be provided with a breaking groove thread rolling groove 4 for accommodating the extruded material.

[0052] The length of the break groove outer diameter shaping section B2b is designed to be composed of two parts, the first part is the transition section, and the second part is the plane section. The front end surface of the transition section is the break groove bottom diameter shaping section B2a, which is consistent with the break groove thread rolling groove 4 for accommodating the extruded material, and gradually transitions to a complete break groove thread rolling surface 6. The transition section should be at least twice the circumference of the workpiece cylindrical rod, that is, 1πD; the plane section should also be at least twice the circumference of the workpiece cylindrical rod, that is, 1πD.

[0053] The inclination angle E of the lead-in section is as small as possible, and should not be greater than 2°, preferably not greater than 1°, when all parameters are met. At the same time, the lead-in section length of the locking groove thread rolling plate A or the tail groove thread rolling plate C is shorter than the length of the break groove lead-in section B, that is, the locking groove thread rolling plate A and the tail groove thread rolling plate C must cut into the workpiece earlier than the break groove thread rolling plate B; the locking groove thread rolling plate A and the tail groove thread rolling plate C that cut into the workpiece first allow the workpiece to be stabilized in the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the thread rolling plate, and ensure that the workpiece can roll without slipping with the movement of the thread rolling plate.
