[0035] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pre-forging die for an aluminum alloy wheel according to the present invention includes:

[0037] Bracket 1;

[0038] Rotating disk 2; Rotating disk 2 is rotatably connected to bracket 1;

[0039] Lower mold 3; Lower mold 3 is fixed on rotating disk 2;

[0040] Upper mold 4; Upper mold 4 is connected to bracket 1 via push rod 8;

[0041] Drive mechanism 6; Drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate;

[0042] The upper mold 4 is composed of upper module 41, upper module 42 and upper module 43; the lower mold 3 is composed of lower module 31, lower module 32 and lower module 33.

[0043] In actual production, one set of molds usually corresponds to one type of aluminum alloy wheel blank. Therefore, in the actual production process, the factory will store many different types of molds to cope with the production of aluminum alloy wheels of different types and specifications. This means that a lot of costs are spent on manufacturing molds, and a lot of space is occupied, which is not conducive to storage and mold replacement during forging.

[0044] Therefore, when using this invention, the operator first places the heated aluminum alloy block into the lower mold 3; the operator controls the drive mechanism 6 to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate through the controller, and then controls the output end of the push rod 8 to move the upper mold 4 downward, so that the upper mold 4 contacts the aluminum alloy block and pre-forges the aluminum alloy block into a blank; when using the pre-forging mold of aluminum alloy wheel to pre-forge products of different sizes, the operator removes the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 on the upper mold 4, and then removes the third lower module 33 and the second lower module 32, so that the specifications of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 3 can be changed to adapt to the production of aluminum alloy wheel preforms of different specifications;

[0045] This invention enables the manufacture of prefabricated aluminum alloy wheels of different sizes and specifications by having workers remove and install the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33. This improves the effectiveness of the invention, reduces the need for replacing and storing prefabricated molds, enhances the performance of the original molds, reduces the cost of prefabricated molds, and increases the factory's profits.

[0046] As one embodiment of the present invention, the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 are annular in shape and their sizes decrease sequentially: the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 together form the lower mold 3;

[0047] The shape of the third upper module 43 is cylindrical; the shape of the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 is tubular; the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42 and the third upper module 43 together form the upper mold 4; the outer walls of the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42 and the third upper module 43 are respectively provided with a first through groove 44, a second through groove 45 and a third through groove 46; the same first fixing block 47 is slidably connected in the first through groove 44, the second through groove 45 and the third through groove 46.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first groove 34 is provided on the inner wall of the first lower module 31; a second groove 35 and a third groove 36 are provided on the outer and inner walls of the second lower module 32, respectively; a fourth groove 37 is provided on the outer wall of the third lower module 33; the first groove 34, the second groove 35, the third groove 36 and the fourth groove 37 respectively penetrate the upper end faces of the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33; the first groove 34 and the second groove 35 are slidably connected to the same second fixing block 38; the third groove 36 and the fourth groove 37 are connected to the same second fixing block 38.

[0049] During operation, the worker pulls out the first fixing block 47 from the first through slot 44, the second through slot 45, and the third through slot 46, thereby separating the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, and the third upper module 43 from each other. Then, the worker installs the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 according to the shape and specifications of the aluminum alloy pre-forging. Similarly, the worker can pull out the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 from the first lower module 31, thereby separating the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33 from each other. Then, the worker installs the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 according to the shape and specifications of the aluminum alloy pre-forging.

[0050] Workers remove lower module 33 and lower module 32, then place upper module 41 and upper module 42 onto upper module 43, and insert fixing block 47 into through slots 44, 45, and 46 to fix upper module 41 and upper module 42. At this point, upper mold 4 and lower mold 3 correspond to a pre-forged part of one size. Workers then remove lower module 33, install lower module 32, remove upper module 41, install upper module 42, and insert fixing block 47 into through slots 45 and 46, corresponding to a pre-forged part of another size. Workers then remove upper module 41 and upper module 42, install lower module 33 and lower module 32, corresponding to a pre-forged part of the last size.

[0051] When separating the No. 3 lower module 33 and the No. 2 lower module 32, the workers pull out the No. 2 fixing block 38 in the No. 3 slot 36 and the No. 4 slot 37, and then pull out the No. 3 lower module 33; when separating the No. 2 lower module 32 and the No. 1 lower module 31, the workers pull out the No. 2 fixing block 38 in the No. 1 slot 34 and the No. 2 slot 35, and then pull out the No. 2 lower module 32.

[0052] This invention enables the production of pre-forged parts of different specifications by having workers assemble the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 3, specifically the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, the third upper module 43, the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33. Simultaneously, the second fixing block 38 secures the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33, ensuring that when the first lower module 31 is rotated, the other three modules do not rotate relative to each other, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of the invention.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first circular block 48 and a second circular block 49 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the first upper module 41 and the second upper module 42.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first fixing block 47 is the same as the outer diameter of the second upper module 42, the first fixing block 47 is bolt-shaped, and an annular groove 5 is provided on the groove wall of the first through groove 44 near the groove opening; the second through groove 45 is symmetrically arranged on the second upper module 42, and an annular groove 5 is provided on the groove wall of one of the second through grooves 45 near the groove opening; the larger end of the first fixing block 47 can enter the annular groove 5.

[0055] As one embodiment of the present invention, an L-shaped groove 51 is provided on the relatively large end face of the first fixing block 47.

[0056] During operation, the upper mold 4 and lower mold 3 are closed. During the pre-forging of the aluminum alloy block, the first circular block 48 and the second circular block 49, fixed to the first upper module 41 or the second upper module 42, first contact the aluminum alloy block. When the operator inserts the first fixing block 47 into the first through groove 44, the second through groove 45, and the third through groove 46, the larger end of the first fixing block 47 enters the annular groove 5, and the first fixing block 47 is stuck in the annular groove 5, completely filling the first through groove 46. 4; When the worker inserts the first fixing block 47 into the second through groove 45 and the third through groove 46, the larger end of the first fixing block 47 enters the annular groove 5, and the other end of the first fixing block 47 passes through the third through groove 46 and enters another second through groove 45. Both ends of the first fixing block 47 fill the second through groove 45. When the worker removes the first fixing block 47, he can insert his hand or fingers into the L-shaped groove 51 and pull the first fixing block 47, which makes it easier for the worker to remove the first fixing block 47.

[0057] The present invention uses a first fixing block 47 to block the first through slot 44 on the first upper module 41 or the second through slot 45 on the second upper module 42, thereby preventing the aluminum alloy block from softening due to high temperature and entering the first through slot 44 or the second through slot 45 when the first upper module 41 or the second upper module 42 contacts and pre-forges with the aluminum alloy block, thus improving the actual use effect of the present invention.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the depths of groove 34 and groove 36 are equal; the second fixing block 38 is cut into block 52 and block 53; a sliding groove 54 is provided on block 53 to slide and connect with block 52; block 52 is located in groove 34 or groove 36; block 53 is located in groove 35 or groove 37; the thickness of block 52 is equal to the depth of groove 34; the end face of block 52 away from block 53 is concave arc-shaped and the concave arc surface matches the curvature of the inner wall of the lower mold 32; the thickness of block 53 is equal to the depth of groove 35.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surfaces of the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 are provided with a first rectangular groove 55 and a second rectangular groove 56; the first rectangular groove 55 vertically penetrates the outer surface of the second lower module 32; the second rectangular groove 56 vertically penetrates the outer surface of the third lower module 33.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 are provided with a first limiting groove 7 and a second limiting groove 71; the rotating disk 2 is provided with a corresponding first limiting block 72 and a second limiting block 73.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of first limiting grooves 7 on the second lower module 32 is two and symmetrically arranged; the number of second limiting grooves 71 on the third lower module 33 is two and symmetrically arranged; the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 73 are placed on the rotating disk 2, and the end faces of the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 73 that contact the rotating disk 2 are roughened, for example, by sandblasting.

[0062] During operation, when the lower module 31 is used as the lower mold 3, the worker inserts block 52 into slot 34, with one end of block 52 slidably connected to block 53 contacting the bottom of slot 34. Similarly, when the lower module 31 and lower module 32 are used as the lower mold 3, block 52 is inserted into slot 36, with one end of block 52 slidably connected to block 53 contacting the bottom of slot 36. This prevents the aluminum alloy block, which has softened at high temperature, from entering slot 34 or slot 36 during pre-forging. Within 6, this affects the quality of the pre-forged aluminum alloy wheel; when the workers place the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 into the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32 contacts the inclined surface of the first limiting block 72. The inclined surface of the first limiting block 72 guides the second lower module 32, causing the second lower module 32 to move along the inclined surface of the first limiting block 72, thus causing the second lower module 32 to rotate. The position of the first limiting block 72 is pre-set so that after the second lower module 32 rotates, the second lower module 32... Slot 35 aligns with slot 34 on lower module 31; thus, slot 35 on lower module 32 aligns with slot 34 on lower module 31; similarly, lower module 33 rotates under the action of limit block 73, slot 37 aligns with slot 36, limit block 72 enters limit slot 7 on lower module 32, and limit block 73 enters limit slot 71 on lower module 33; when the operator removes lower modules 32 and 33, they can... Lower modules 32 and 33 are pulled out through rectangular slots 55 and 56. Then, the staff removes limit blocks 72 and 73. The end faces of limit blocks 72 and 73 that contact the rotating disk 2 are roughened to increase the friction between limit blocks 72 and 73 and the rotating disk 2, thereby preventing the position of limit blocks 72 and 73 from changing when lower modules 32 and 33 rotate, thus affecting the positioning effect.

[0063] This invention prevents aluminum alloy blocks from entering slots 34 and 36 during pre-forging by having workers insert block 52 into slot 34 when lower module 31 is used as lower mold 3, and insert block 52 into slot 36 when lower modules 31 and 32 are used as lower molds 3. Simultaneously, limiting blocks 72 and 73 ensure automatic rotation of lower modules 32 and 33 during installation, preventing positional deviations between slots 34 and 35, and between slots 35 and 36, when lower modules 32 and 33 are placed into lower module 31, thus ensuring the applicability of this invention.

[0072] In actual production, one set of molds usually corresponds to one type of aluminum alloy wheel blank. Therefore, in the actual production process, the factory will store many different types of molds to cope with the production of aluminum alloy wheels of different types and specifications. This means that a lot of costs are spent on manufacturing molds, and a lot of space is occupied, which is not conducive to storage and mold replacement during forging.

[0073] Therefore, when using this invention, the operator first places the heated aluminum alloy block into the lower mold 3; the operator controls the drive mechanism 6 to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate through the controller, and then controls the output end of the push rod 8 to move the upper mold 4 downward, so that the upper mold 4 contacts the aluminum alloy block and pre-forges the aluminum alloy block into a blank; when using the pre-forging mold of aluminum alloy wheel to pre-forge products of different sizes, the operator removes the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 on the upper mold 4, and then removes the third lower module 33 and the second lower module 32, so that the specifications of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 3 can be changed to adapt to the production of aluminum alloy wheel preforms of different specifications;

[0074] This invention enables the manufacture of prefabricated aluminum alloy wheels of different sizes and specifications by having workers remove and install the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33. This improves the effectiveness of the invention, reduces the need for replacing and storing prefabricated molds, enhances the performance of the original molds, reduces the cost of prefabricated molds, and increases the factory's profits.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33 are circular in shape and their sizes decrease sequentially: the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33 together form the lower mold 3;

[0076] The shape of the third upper module 43 is cylindrical; the shape of the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 is tubular; the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42 and the third upper module 43 can form concentric circles; the outer walls of the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42 and the third upper module 43 are respectively provided with a first through groove 44, a second through groove 45 and a third through groove 46; the same first fixing block 47 is slidably connected in the first through groove 44, the second through groove 45 and the third through groove 46.

[0077] In this embodiment, a first groove 34 is provided on the inner wall of the first lower module 31; a second groove 35 and a third groove 36 are provided on the outer and inner walls of the second lower module 32, respectively; a fourth groove 37 is provided on the outer wall of the third lower module 33; the first groove 34, the second groove 35, the third groove 36 and the fourth groove 37 pass through the upper end faces of the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33, respectively; the first groove 34 and the second groove 35 are slidably connected to the same second fixing block 38; the third groove 36 and the fourth groove 37 are connected to the same second fixing block 38.

[0078] During operation, the worker pulls out the first fixing block 47 from the first through slot 44, the second through slot 45, and the third through slot 46, thereby separating the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, and the third upper module 43 from each other. Then, the worker installs the second upper module 42 and the first upper module 41 according to the shape and specifications of the aluminum alloy pre-forging. Similarly, the worker can pull out the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 from the first lower module 31, thereby separating the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33 from each other. Then, the worker installs the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 according to the shape and specifications of the aluminum alloy pre-forging.

[0079] Workers remove lower module 33 and lower module 32, then place upper module 41 and upper module 42 onto upper module 43, and insert fixing block 47 into through slots 44, 45, and 46 to fix upper module 41 and upper module 42. At this point, upper mold 4 and lower mold 3 correspond to a pre-forged part of one size. Workers then remove lower module 33, install lower module 32, remove upper module 41, install upper module 42, and insert fixing block 47 into through slots 45 and 46, corresponding to a pre-forged part of another size. Workers then remove upper module 41 and upper module 42, install lower module 33 and lower module 32, corresponding to a pre-forged part of the last size.

[0080] When separating the No. 3 lower module 33 and the No. 2 lower module 32, the workers pull out the No. 2 fixing block 38 in the No. 3 slot 36 and the No. 4 slot 37, and then pull out the No. 3 lower module 33; when separating the No. 2 lower module 32 and the No. 1 lower module 31, the workers pull out the No. 2 fixing block 38 in the No. 1 slot 34 and the No. 2 slot 35, and then pull out the No. 2 lower module 32.

[0081] This invention enables the production of pre-forged parts of different specifications by having workers assemble the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 3, specifically the first upper module 41, the second upper module 42, the third upper module 43, the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33. Simultaneously, the second fixing block 38 secures the first lower module 31, the second lower module 32, and the third lower module 33, ensuring that when the first lower module 31 is rotated, the other three modules do not rotate relative to each other, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of the invention.

[0082] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first upper module 41 and the second upper module 42 are fixedly connected to the first circular block 48 and the second circular block 49.

[0083] In this embodiment, the length of the first fixing block 47 is the same as the diameter of the outer side of the second upper module 42. The first fixing block 47 is bolt-shaped. The first through slot 44 has an annular groove 5 on the groove wall near the slot opening. The second through slot 45 is symmetrically arranged on the second upper module 42. One of the second through slots 45 has an annular groove 5 on the groove wall near the slot opening. The larger end of the first fixing block 47 can enter the annular groove 5.

[0084] In this embodiment, an L-shaped groove 51 is provided on the relatively large end face of the first fixing block 47.

[0085] During operation, the upper mold 4 and lower mold 3 are closed. During the pre-forging of the aluminum alloy block, the first circular block 48 and the second circular block 49, fixed to the first upper module 41 or the second upper module 42, first contact the aluminum alloy block. When the operator inserts the first fixing block 47 into the first through groove 44, the second through groove 45, and the third through groove 46, the larger end of the first fixing block 47 enters the annular groove 5, and the first fixing block 47 is stuck in the annular groove 5, completely filling the first through groove 46. 4; When the worker inserts the first fixing block 47 into the second through groove 45 and the third through groove 46, the larger end of the first fixing block 47 enters the annular groove 5, and the other end of the first fixing block 47 passes through the third through groove 46 and enters another second through groove 45. Both ends of the first fixing block 47 fill the second through groove 45. When the worker removes the first fixing block 47, he can insert his hand or fingers into the L-shaped groove 51 and pull the first fixing block 47, which makes it easier for the worker to remove the first fixing block 47.

[0086] The present invention uses a first fixing block 47 to block the first through slot 44 on the first upper module 41 or the second through slot 45 on the second upper module 42, thereby preventing the aluminum alloy block from softening due to high temperature and entering the first through slot 44 or the second through slot 45 when the first upper module 41 or the second upper module 42 contacts and pre-forges with the aluminum alloy block, thus improving the actual use effect of the present invention.

[0087] Example 2:

[0088] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 3 The difference from Example 1 is as follows:

[0089] In this embodiment, the depths of slot 34 and slot 36 are equal; the second fixing block 38 is cut into block 52 and block 53; a sliding groove 54 is provided on block 53 to slide and connect with block 52; block 52 is located in slot 34 or slot 36; block 53 is located in slot 35 or slot 4; the thickness of block 52 is equal to the depth of slot 34; the end face of block 52 away from block 53 is concave arc-shaped and the concave arc surface matches the curvature of the inner wall of the lower mold 32; the thickness of block 53 is equal to the depth of slot 35.

[0090] In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 are provided with a first rectangular groove 55 and a second rectangular groove 56; the first rectangular groove 55 vertically penetrates the outer side surface of the second lower module 32; the second rectangular groove 56 vertically penetrates the outer side surface of the third lower module 33.

[0091] In this embodiment, the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 are provided with a first limiting groove 7 and a second limiting groove 71; the rotating disk 2 is provided with a corresponding first limiting block 72 and a second limiting block 73.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of first limiting grooves 7 on the second lower module 32 is two and symmetrically arranged; the number of second limiting grooves 71 on the third lower module 33 is two and symmetrically arranged; the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 73 are placed on the rotating disk 2, and the end faces of the first limiting block 72 and the second limiting block 73 that contact the rotating disk 2 are roughened, for example, by sandblasting.

[0093] During operation, when the lower module 31 serves as the lower mold 3, the worker inserts block 52 into slot 34, with one end of block 52 slidably connected to block 53 contacting the bottom of slot 34. Similarly, when both lower modules 31 and 32 serve as the lower mold 3, block 52 is inserted into slot 36, with one end of block 52 slidably connected to block 53 contacting the bottom of slot 36. This prevents the aluminum alloy block from softening at high temperatures during pre-forging. The aluminum alloy block enters slot 1 (34) or slot 3 (36), affecting the quality of the pre-forged aluminum alloy wheel. When the worker places lower module 2 (32) and lower module 33 into lower module 1 (31), lower module 2 (32) contacts the inclined surface of limit block 72. The inclined surface of limit block 72 guides lower module 2 (32), causing it to move along the inclined surface of limit block 72, thus rotating lower module 2 (32). The second slot 35 on the upper module 32 aligns with the first slot 34 on the lower module 31; similarly, the lower module 33 rotates under the action of the second limiting block 73, the fourth slot 37 aligns with the third slot 36, the first limiting block 72 enters the first limiting slot 7 on the lower module 32, and the second limiting block 73 enters the second limiting slot 71 on the lower module 33; when the operator removes the lower module 32 and the lower module 33, they can pass through the first rectangular slot 55 and the second rectangular slot. 56. Pull out the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33. Then, the staff takes out the first limit block 72 and the second limit block 73. The end faces of the first limit block 72 and the second limit block 73 that contact the rotating disk 2 are roughened to increase the friction between the first limit block 72 and the second limit block 73 and the rotating disk 2, thereby preventing the position of the first limit block 72 and the second limit block 73 from changing when the second lower module 32 and the third lower module 33 rotate, thus affecting the positioning effect.

[0094] This invention prevents aluminum alloy blocks from entering slots 34 and 36 during pre-forging by having workers insert block 52 into slot 34 when lower module 31 is used as lower mold 3, and insert block 52 into slot 36 when lower modules 31 and 32 are used as lower molds 3. Simultaneously, limiting blocks 72 and 73 ensure automatic rotation of lower modules 32 and 33 during installation, preventing positional deviations between slots 34 and 35, and between slots 35 and 36, when lower modules 32 and 33 are placed into lower module 31, thus ensuring the applicability of this invention.
