AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for processing railway rollers suffer from problems such as uneven cut surfaces, burrs, mold damage, and high production costs, resulting in low roller pass rates and significant quality risks.
We employ high-speed rail roller chamfering cold heading equipment and processes. Raw materials are cut using a high-speed circular saw, and a double-headed chamfering machine is used to form a precise chamfer. This is then combined with cold heading to ensure that the chamfer angle is 10-13°. This prevents air from being trapped in the mold gaps, reduces mold damage, and improves the product qualification rate.
This technology protects the mold during the roller forming process, improves product qualification rate and performance, and reduces production costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of roller manufacturing, specifically to a cold heading equipment and process for chamfering high-speed rail rollers. Background Technology
[0002] Cold heading of rollers involves high-speed, high-pressure extrusion of raw materials, resulting in rollers with high fiber density and superior performance. This process is generally required for railway roller hub bearings. However, due to the relatively large size of railway rollers (approximately 25mm in diameter and 50mm in length), cold heading is generally difficult. This is mainly because burrs are easily generated during the cutting of the raw material, resulting in uneven cut surfaces and potential defects during the cold heading extrusion process, which can damage the die. Directly machining rollers using a cold heading machine leads to a low yield rate, significant quality risks, and requires specialized equipment for flaw detection, resulting in higher production costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a cold heading equipment and process for chamfering high-speed rail rollers. The process is ingenious, easy to operate, reduces mold damage, and improves product qualification rate.
[0004] The equipment and process for cold heading and chamfering of high-speed rail rollers are as follows:
[0005] 1) The raw materials are cut into sections by a high-speed circular saw, requiring smooth, burr-free end faces and a length error of 0.02mm;
[0006] 2) The material segment is conveyed by the conveyor line, and the gantry robot arm picks it up and places it into the gripper of the double-head chamfering machine. The positioning is accurate, and then the double-head chamfering machine is fed by servo control and automatically turns the material segment to form a chamfer.
[0007] 3) Based on the configuration analysis of the mold and forming process, the chamfer angle is 10-13° to ensure that no air is trapped in the gap between the chamfer and the mold during the extrusion forming process of the material segment, so as not to cause air blockage damage at the chamfer of the mold and quality problems.
[0008] 4) The 352226×5 rollers were cold-forged using a cold-forging machine. The blank dimensions were: length 47.8±0.02mm, outer diameter φ24.75±0.02mm, taper 2°20′±0.05mm, displacement ≤0.08mm. The appearance was free of cracks and other obvious scratches. The chamfers and rings were uniform. The pickling inspection showed no cracks, folds, padding marks, or tearing defects. The fiber structure was fine and dense. Ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and eddy current flaw detection showed no defects. The crushing load, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the rollers were improved by about 30%.
[0009] The high-speed circular saw mentioned is the S-70 high-speed metal circular saw, manufactured by Hangzhou Jingweite Machine Tool Co., Ltd.
[0010] The double-head chamfering machine is the DJJ-60CNC double-head chamfering machine.
[0011] The cold heading machine mentioned is the AS-32-2 cold heading machine, manufactured by Asahi Sunac Corporation of Japan.
[0012] The advantages of this invention are that the raw material is cut with a smooth, burr-free end face by a high-speed circular saw, with a length error of 0.02mm; the chamfer angle is preferably 10-13°; during the extrusion molding process of the material segment, no air will be trapped in the gap between the chamfer and the mold, thus avoiding air entrapment damage at the chamfer of the mold and quality problems. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the roller chamfer of the present invention.
[0014] Figure 2 This is a simplified schematic diagram of the cold heading mold of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The following explanation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] The equipment and process for cold heading and chamfering of high-speed rail rollers are as follows:
[0017] Process flow: Raw material bar sawing - automatic chamfering - cold heading.
[0018] 1. The raw materials are cut by a high-speed circular saw, with smooth, burr-free end faces and a length error of 0.02mm.
[0019] 2. The material segment is conveyed by the conveyor line, and the gantry robot arm picks it up and places it into the gripper of the double-head chamfering machine. The positioning is accurate, and then the double-head chamfering machine is fed by servo control and automatically turns the material segment to form a chamfer.
[0020] 3. For example Figure 1 The chamfer angle should be 10-13° based on the configuration analysis of the mold and the forming process. Otherwise, during the extrusion forming process of the material segment, air will be trapped in the gap between the chamfer and the mold. An unsuitable angle will cause air to trap and damage the chamfer of the mold, as well as quality problems.
[0021] 4. Cold heading of 352226×5 rollers: blank dimensions: length 47.8±0.02mm, outer diameter φ24.75±0.02mm, taper 2°20′±0.05mm, displacement ≤0.08mm. The appearance is free of cracks and other obvious scratches; chamfers and rings are uniform. Acid pickling inspection revealed no hidden defects such as cracks, folds, padding marks, or tearing. The fiber structure is fine and dense; ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and eddy current testing showed no defects. The roller's crushing load, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are improved by approximately 30%.
[0022] like Figure 2 The cold heading mold includes an upper ejector pin 1, an upper mold core 2, a lower ejector pin 3, and a lower mold core 4. The material segment is placed into the upper mold core. The chamfer angle of the material segment should be 10-13° for optimal results. During the material segment placement process, air can be discharged through the chamfer angle design, which will not cause air trapping problems due to the gap between the chamfer and the mold. The mold will not be damaged during cold heading, thus improving the cold heading effect of the roller.
