DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0044] Reference Figure 1-13 The present invention provides an integral forming process for a thin-walled gas cylinder liner, comprising the following steps:
[0045] Step 1: Select an initial blank 1, which includes a bottle body pre-forming area 2 and a bottle mouth pre-forming area 3 fixed to both ends of the bottle body pre-forming area 2;
[0046] Based on the geometric dimensions of the final thin-walled gas cylinder liner, a straight seamless tube is selected as the raw material for the initial blank 1. The wall thickness of the initial blank 1 is not less than the wall thickness of the mouth area of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner, and the inner diameter of the initial blank 1 is consistent with the inner diameter of the body area of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner. Based on the lengths of the mouth area and body area of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner, the initial blank 1 is divided into a body pre-forming area 2 and a mouth pre-forming area 3 located at both ends of the body pre-forming area 2.
[0047] The length of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner is 300mm. The length of the bottle mouth area of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner is required to be 24mm, the wall thickness is required to be 5mm, the inner diameter of the bottle body area is required to be 37.1mm, and the wall thickness is required to be 0.7mm. Therefore, a pipe with an inner diameter of 37.1mm, a wall thickness of 5mm, and a length of 300mm is selected as the initial blank 1;
[0048] Step 2: thinning the outer diameter of the bottle body preforming area 2;
[0049] Step 3: Install the forming mold, use the push head and pull head 8 to push and pull the two bottle mouth preforming areas 3 respectively, so that the bottle mouth preforming areas 3 shrink radially inward to form an intermediate workpiece 14; the outer diameter of the intermediate workpiece 14 is uniform, and the wall thickness at the bottle mouth at both ends of the intermediate workpiece 14 is greater than the wall thickness at the bottle body;
[0050] Step 4: Close the ends of the intermediate workpiece 14 to form a thin-walled gas cylinder liner;
[0051] The present invention thins the outer diameter of the bottle body preforming area 2 of the initial blank 1, so that the inner diameters of the bottle body preforming area 2 and the bottle mouth preforming area 3 are unified, and the wall thickness of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is greater than the wall thickness of the bottle body preforming area 2; then the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is pushed and pulled, so that the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is radially inwardly contracted to form an intermediate workpiece 14, the outer diameter of the intermediate workpiece 14 is unified, and the wall thickness at the bottle mouths at both ends of the intermediate workpiece 14 is greater than the wall thickness at the bottle body; finally, the bottle mouth of the intermediate workpiece 14 is closed and spun to form a thin-walled gas cylinder liner. The whole process realizes the overall processing of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 and the bottle body preforming area 2, and achieves the purpose of thickening the bottle mouth while ensuring the thin wall of the bottle body; the present invention can reduce the risk of gas leakage due to fatigue of the bottle body and the bottle mouth area, and improve the bearing capacity of the bottle mouth; and the process of the present invention is simple, the process difficulty is low, the process cost is short, and it is easy to promote; the present invention is also applicable to thin-walled gas cylinder liners with only one end closed.
[0052] Further optimizing the solution, in step 4, when performing the closing process, use the rotary clamp 4 to clamp one end of the intermediate workpiece 14, use the shaping surface friction block 5 to press against the outer wall of the bottle mouth at one end of the intermediate workpiece 14, and adjust the distance between the upper surface of the shaping surface friction block 5 and the bottom of the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the intermediate workpiece 14 according to the reduction amount;
[0053] The rotary fixture 4 drives the intermediate workpiece 14 to rotate, and at the same time the shaping surface friction block 5 rotates 90 degrees, so that the bottle mouth at one end of the intermediate workpiece 14 is closed and formed;
[0054] The bottle openings at both ends of the intermediate workpiece 14 are swapped, and the above steps are repeated to close the bottle opening at the other end of the intermediate workpiece 14 to form a thin-walled gas cylinder liner;
[0055] In step 4, the rotary fixture 4 drives the intermediate workpiece 14 to rotate around the axis of the rotary fixture 4; the shaping surface friction block 5 is set to rotate 90 degrees along the rotation center line 13; the rotation center line 13 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotary fixture 4 and the upper and lower surfaces of the shaping surface friction block 5, and the rotation center line 13 is set close to the bottle body of the intermediate workpiece 14;
[0056] The rotary fixture 4 rotates around its own axis at a high speed of 300r / min, so that the distance between the upper surface of the shaping surface friction block 5 and the bottom of the outer wall of the bottle mouth area of the intermediate workpiece 14 is 10mm. After the bottle mouth of the intermediate workpiece 14 is closed and formed, the outer diameter of the bottle mouth is 18.5mm and the wall thickness is at least 5mm, realizing the precise forming of the thin-walled gas cylinder liner; when performing the closing spinning process, the roller spinning method or the like can also be used to make a reciprocating motion according to the prescribed shape trajectory to gradually close the bottle mouth area.
[0057] Further optimizing the solution, in step 3, the pushing head includes a chuck 6, and the chuck 6 is provided with a plurality of claws 7 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction; the forming mold is installed on the bottle body preforming area 2, the plurality of claws 7 abut the end of one bottle mouth preforming area 3, the pull head 8 clamps the outer wall of the other bottle mouth preforming area 3, the plurality of claws 7 push, and the pull head 8 pulls, and the plurality of claws 7 simultaneously contract radially during the pushing process, always maintaining contact with the end surface of the bottle mouth preforming area 3; the bottle mouth preforming area 3 close to the claws 7 passes through the inner wall of the forming mold under the pushing of the plurality of claws 7, so that the bottle mouth preforming area 3 contracts radially inward;
[0058] The two bottle mouth preforming areas 3 are swapped and the above steps are repeated to shrink the other bottle mouth preforming area 3 radially inward to form an intermediate workpiece 14;
[0059] The forming mold includes two oppositely arranged clamping blocks 15, and the opposite end surfaces of the two clamping blocks 15 are provided with clamping grooves, which together form a cylindrical clamping groove 9; when installing the forming mold, the two clamping blocks 15 are fixedly sleeved outside the bottle body preforming area 2;
[0060] When the plurality of claws 7 push, the outer wall of the bottle mouth pre-forming area 3 contacts the cylindrical clamping groove 9 and is squeezed, causing the bottle mouth pre-forming area 3 to shrink radially inward;
[0061] The pushing speed of the claw 7 is 0.3-0.7 mm / s, and the pulling speed of the slider 8 is 0.3-0.7 mm / s. In this embodiment, the pushing speed of the claw 7 is 0.5 mm / s, and the pulling speed of the slider 8 is 0.5 mm / s.
[0062] In step 3, arc transition sections 10 are provided at both ends of the cylindrical clamping groove 9;
[0063] The diameter of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 after pushing and drawing is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical clamping groove 9, so the diameter of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 changes during the pushing process; the radial movement speeds of the plurality of clamping claws 7 on the chuck 6 are equal, and the radial movement speeds of the clamping claws 7 on the chuck 6 are adjusted to match the diameter change speed of the bottle mouth preforming area 3, so that the plurality of clamping claws 7 always keep in contact with the end surface of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 during the pushing process; the diameter of the cylindrical clamping groove 9 is 38.5mm, and the two clamping blocks 15 are symmetrical up and down. Disassembly connection; arc transition sections 10 are provided at both ends of the cylindrical clamping groove 9. The outer wall of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is squeezed after contacting the arc transition section 10 of the cylindrical clamping groove 9, which facilitates the bottle mouth preforming area 3 to shrink radially inward. The surface of the claw 7 has a certain arc surface that coincides with the arc transition section 10 to avoid conflict with the clamping block 15 during the advancement process. The outer diameter of the intermediate workpiece 14 is uniformly 38.5mm, the wall thickness of the bottle mouth area at both ends of the intermediate workpiece 14 is about 5mm, and the wall thickness of the bottle body area is 0.7mm.
[0064] To further optimize the solution, in step 2, the initial blank 1 is placed on the core rod 11, the spinning head 12 is placed at one end of the bottle body preforming area 2, and the initial pressing and thinning amount is adjusted;
[0065] The spinning head 12 rotates along its own axis and simultaneously rotates around the outer wall of the core rod 11, and simultaneously moves along the axis direction of the core rod 11 to spin and thin the outer diameter of the bottle body preform area 2;
[0066] The distance between the spinning head 12 and the outer wall of the bottle body preforming area 2 is radially adjusted to adjust the amount of downward pressure thinning. The spinning head 12 moves back and forth, and after several passes of spinning thinning, the outer diameter of the bottle body preforming area 2 is thinned to the finished product size. After spinning thinning, the inner diameters of the bottle body preforming area 2 and the bottle mouth preforming area 3 are uniform, and the wall thickness of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is greater than that of the bottle body preforming area 2.
[0067] The thinning rate of each pass of the spinning head 12 is 8-15%, the moving speed of the spinning head 12 along the axis of the mandrel 11 is 3-4 mm / s, and the rotating speed of the spinning head 12 around the outer wall of the mandrel 11 is 80-120 r / min. In this embodiment, the thinning rate of each pass of the spinning head 12 is 10%, the moving speed of the spinning head 12 along the axis of the mandrel 11 is 3.3 mm / s, and the rotating speed of the spinning head 12 around the outer wall of the mandrel 11 is 100 r / min.
[0068] The spinning head 12 can be a rotary wheel, a rotary ring or a ball. After several spinning passes, the outer diameter of the bottle body preforming area 2 is thinned and extended, and the outer wall of the bottle body preforming area 2 is thinned to a target wall thickness of 0.7 mm. When spinning reaches the two ends of the bottle body preforming area 2, the spacing between the spinning head 12 and the outer wall of the bottle body preforming area 2 is radially adjusted to achieve a transition from thin to thick wall thickness at both ends of the bottle body preforming area 2. After spinning, the inner diameters of the bottle body preforming area 2 and the bottle mouth preforming area 3 are both 37.1 mm, and the wall thickness of the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is 5 mm. The thinning of the bottle body preforming area 2 can also be achieved by machining. The thinning rate is calculated as the thickness thinned by this spinning divided by the total thickness before thinning. After the bottle body preforming area 2 is thinned, the bottle mouth preforming area 3 still retains the original wall thickness, which facilitates the bottle mouth preforming area 3 to achieve the required wall thickness requirement in subsequent processing.
[0069] To further optimize the solution, in step 2, after the outer diameter of the bottle body preforming area 2 is spun and thinned, the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is heat treated to facilitate metal plastic deformation; in this embodiment, the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is heated to 900°C. When the bottle mouth preforming area 3 is pushed after heating, the metal strength is reduced, which facilitates the bottle mouth preforming area 3 to shrink radially inward.
