The device has a simple design and high reliability; it is easy to install and debug, reducing the difficulty of operation for operators and reducing development costs.

[0020] (2) Based on existing processes, this invention employs a novel high-frequency heating scheme to instantly heat titanium alloy ring-shaped parts to a forming temperature of 680–730°C, while maintaining a stable and continuous heating power output. Simultaneously, the ring-shaped parts are horizontally clamped in an internal support rotary mechanism with horizontal rotation capability. A forming wheel and its feeding mechanism are used to complete the vertical edge roll bending of the ring-shaped parts. This process significantly improves the production efficiency of ring-shaped parts forming, enabling one-time forming of the ring-shaped parts. It avoids the welding work required after separate forming in existing processes; simply tightening the ring-shaped parts and heating them is sufficient to form a complete vertical edge ring-shaped part.

[0028] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the support structure unit in the thermoforming device for titanium alloy ring rib parts of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] A high-frequency coil heating forming device for titanium alloy ring-ribbed parts includes a high-frequency induction heating unit 1, an inner support rotary chuck unit 2, an automatic horizontal rotation unit 3, a forming wheel unit 4, a hydraulic power unit 5, and a support structure unit 6; see Figure 1 As shown.

[0031] 1. High-frequency induction heating unit

[0032] High-strength titanium alloy sheet TA15 is difficult to form at room temperature and does not meet the requirements for cold forming. When TA15 is heated to a temperature range of 750℃ to 800℃, the maximum deformation resistance is 598 to 430 MPa when the material's deformation rate is 1. Therefore, the material must be heated to a forming temperature of 680 to 730℃ and maintained at a stable heating temperature to meet the requirements for forming.

[0033] The high-frequency induction heating unit 1 includes a high-frequency heating device 11, a heating device support 12, a high-frequency heating coil 13, standard M16 nuts 14, standard M16×90 bolts 15, a support base 16, adjusting sleeves 17, adjusting feet 18 (two pieces), and mounting studs 19 (three pieces). The high-frequency heating device 11 is mounted on the mounting plate of the heating device support 12. The support base 16 is fixedly connected to the support structure unit 6 via a bolted connection structure, which includes standard M16 nuts 14 and standard M16×90 bolts 15. To allow for adjustable mounting height of the high-frequency heating coil 13, a height-adjustable bolted connection structure is designed on the underside of the heating device support 12. The height of the heating device support 12 can be raised or lowered by rotating the adjusting sleeves 17, adjusting feet 18, and mounting studs 19.

[0034] The structure of the high-frequency heating coil 13 enables localized high-frequency induction heating of the ring-rib part. When the ring-rib part rotates, and the high-frequency heating machine 11 is powered on, a strong magnetic flux with instantaneous polarity change is generated within the high-frequency heating coil 13. When the ring-rib part is penetrated by the magnetic flux, a large eddy current is formed. This eddy current conducts through the resistance of the heated metal material, creating an instantaneous heating phenomenon. After heating the part to the required temperature, the temperature is maintained constant. See [link to product description]. Figure 2 As shown.

[0035] The automatic high-frequency induction heating unit uses mature high-frequency heating equipment; based on the process characteristics of local forming of thin-walled ring-rib parts, the structure of the high-frequency heating coil is optimized to enable local high-frequency induction heating of the ring-rib parts, which can reasonably control the heating area, reduce the thermal deformation area, and concentrate the high-frequency coil in the plastic deformation area of ​​the ring-rib, reducing unnecessary power loss.

[0036] The rotational speed of the horizontal rotary table is set to 2 rpm, and the rotational diameter of the ring rib part is Φ357.6 mm; the calculated linear speed of rotation of the ring rib part is V = 37.4 mm / s. The ring rib part is locally heated to 750℃~800℃, and the included angle α of the heating area is set to 30°, and the linear length of the circumference L is set to 93 mm.

[0037] T = L / V ≈ 2.5 seconds

[0038] The calculation shows that the heating time of the high-frequency heating coil is 2.5 seconds. Considering that the coil heating has sufficient capacity margin, the heating time of the coil to 750℃~800℃ is determined to be 4 seconds.

[0039] The thickness of the heating ring ribs of the high-frequency heating coil is controlled within the range of 1.5 to 2 mm, and its rated power is calculated to be 60 KW.

[0040] 2. Internal support rotary chuck unit

[0041] The ring rib forming process requires a horizontal rotary mechanism to expand it from the inside. The internal support rotary chuck unit 2 includes: rotary chuck 21, main slider 22 (3 pieces), standard M10 self-locking nuts 23 (12 pieces), auxiliary slider 24 (3 pieces), slider connecting bolts 25 (6 pieces), auxiliary slider crank 26 (3 pieces), thrust bearing 27, standard M10×30 screw 28, main slider crank 29 (3 pieces), slider limit block 210 (6 pieces), standard M8×20 screw 211, standard M12×25 screw 212, sliding sleeve support seat 213, screw 214, adapter screw sleeve 215, sliding sleeve 216, spring washer 217, adjusting screw mounting seat 218, adjusting screw locking nut 219, and adjusting screw 220.

[0042] The rotary chuck 21 has three T-slots for mounting the main slider 22 and the auxiliary slider 24. The main slider 22 and the auxiliary slider 24 are installed in the T-slots and can reciprocate in a centripetal linear motion along the slots. The main slider 22 is connected to the corresponding mounting slot of the sliding sleeve 216 via the main slider crank 29, the standard M10 self-locking nut 23, and the slider connecting bolt 25. The auxiliary slider 24 is connected to the other three corresponding mounting slots of the sliding sleeve 216 via the main slider crank 29, the standard M10 self-locking nut 23, and the slider connecting bolt 25. A slider limiting block 210 is installed in the slot of the rotary chuck 21 and fixed with a standard M8×20 screw 211 to limit the movement position of the front ends of the main slider 22 and the auxiliary slider 24. The sliding sleeve 216 for installing the main and auxiliary sliders is fitted onto the sliding sleeve support 213. The sliding sleeve support 213 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotary chuck 21 by standard M12×25 screws 212 and spring washers 217. A screw 214 and an adapter screw sleeve 215 are installed in the center hole of the sliding sleeve support 213. An adjusting screw 220 is installed in the internal threaded hole at the top of the screw 214. A thrust bearing 27 is installed at the shoulder of the upper end of the adjusting screw 220. The adjusting screw mounting seat 218 is installed and fastened to the upper end of the sliding sleeve 216 by a standard M10×30 screw 28. This allows the rotary chuck 21 to rotate horizontally while the screw 214 and the adjusting screw 220 transmit the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder. By adjusting the engagement depth of the adjusting screw 220 into the threaded hole at the upper end of the screw 214, i.e., adjusting the horizontal position height of the sliding sleeve 216, the horizontal opening and closing stroke of the main slider 22 and the auxiliary slider 24 is achieved. The position dimensions are locked by the locking nut 219. Through the above functional features, the main and auxiliary sliders can perform horizontal opening and closing motions along the T-slot, thereby realizing the function of rounding the inside of the ring rib.

[0043] During the ring rib forming process, it needs to be rounded from the inside and tightened before external force can be applied to complete the forming step by step. Therefore, a crank-slider internal support mechanism was designed. Each slider is connected to the sliding sleeve located at the center of rotation through the crank. The sliding sleeve is pushed upward by the lower hydraulic cylinder. The sliding sleeve drives the crank to open the 6 sliding blocks radially along the guide groove, tightening the inner arc surface of the ring rib.

[0044] The internal support slider consists of three main sliders and three auxiliary sliders. The sliding distance of the main sliders in the guide groove is 10mm, and the sliding distance of the auxiliary sliders in the guide groove is 25.5mm. When the hydraulic cylinder pulls back the sliding sleeve, it also pulls back the main and auxiliary sliders. However, the retraction distance of the auxiliary sliders is greater than that of the main sliders, resulting in a staggered distribution of the main and auxiliary sliders. See the schematic diagram for the scheme. Figure 3 As shown.

[0045] The elastic modulus of TA15 titanium alloy sheet at 550℃ is E=73GPa, and the temperature rise stress P of the ring-rib part is...

[0046] P should be equal to E*A*ζ*ΔT

[0047] A – Cross-sectional area of ​​the part, A = 88.5 mm² 2

[0048] ΔT – Temperature rise ΔT = 780℃

[0049] P 应 =48.9KN

[0050] The temperature rise shear stress τ should be balanced by the internal support force P of the ring reinforcement, with a Poisson's ratio μ = 0.39.

[0051] P = τ 应 =0.39*P 应 =19KN

[0052] A safety factor of 1.5 is adopted.

[0053] The output constant force of the hydraulic cylinder is obtained as TT = 1.5 * P * tan28° = 15 kN.

[0054] Selected hydraulic cylinder technical specifications:

[0055] The hydraulic cylinder diameter is 63mm.

[0056] The stroke is 30mm.

[0057] If the output force is greater than 1.5 tons, take 2 tons.

[0058] The input pressure of the hydraulic cylinder is ≥6MPa.

[0059] 3. Automatic horizontal rotation unit

[0060] During the ring rib forming process, the ring rib should be kept in a state of no displacement under the internal support force of the internal support rotary chuck unit, achieving a low-speed, high-torque horizontal rotation state. The ring rib is formed by a manual feed wheel. The automatic horizontal rotation unit 3 includes: a hydraulic horizontal rotary table 31, 12 standard M16×70 screws 32, 24 standard M16×90 bolts 33, and 24 standard 16 spring washers 34.

[0061] The hydraulic horizontal rotary table 31, model SE14-85-HR-160A, has its upper end secured with standard M16×70 screws 32, which fixes the rotary chuck 21 of the inner support rotary chuck unit 2, driving it to perform horizontal rotary motion. Its lower end face is mounted on the support structure unit 6 using standard M16×90 bolts 33 and standard 16 spring washers 34 for load transfer. See... Figure 4 As shown.

[0062] During the ring rib forming process, the ring rib should be in a low-speed, high-torque horizontal rotation state, and the ring rib forming is achieved through a manual feed wheel. The automatic horizontal rotation of the horizontal rotary table is used to counteract the horizontal torque generated by the forming resistance during the forming process. A hydraulically driven horizontal rotary table can be purchased as an option; its upper end is used to mount and fix the inner support mechanism slide mounting plate, driving the ring rib to perform horizontal rotational movement, and its lower end is mounted on a fixed worktable to transfer the load. See [link / details omitted]. Figure 4 As shown.

[0063] The main components of the horizontal rotary table include a worm gear, a hydraulic motor, and a base support sleeve. The internal worm gear reduction mechanism has a reduction ratio of 85:1. The hydraulic motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the turbine to achieve horizontal rotation. Ball bearings are installed between the turbine and the horizontal rotary table base to reduce frictional resistance between the structural components.

[0064] The initial design requirement for the rotational speed of the horizontal rotary table during the ring reinforcement forming process is set at 2 rpm, and the feed flow rate of its hydraulic motor is ≥30L / min. Considering the high loss rate of the hydraulic system, and having sufficient capacity margin, it is easy to adjust the horizontal rotation speed of the rotary table by changing the feed flow rate of the hydraulic motor; the rated output flow rate of the hydraulic station should be appropriately increased to ≥50L / min.

[0065] 4. Forming wheel unit

[0066] The main structure of the forming wheel unit 4 includes: forming wheel 41 (2 pieces), guide wheel 42, wheel axle nut 43, slide 44, handwheel seat 45, handwheel 46, standard M12×45 screw 47 (4 pieces), standard 12 spring washer 48 (4 pieces), slide support seat 49, forming wheel axle 410 and positioning pin 411;

[0067] The forming wheel 412 and guide wheel 42 are respectively installed in three grooves of the slide block 44, and are fixedly installed on the slide block 44 by the forming wheel shaft 410 and the shaft nut 43, which can realize the horizontal rotation of the forming wheel. The bottom of the slide block 44 is designed with a dovetail groove and a dovetail of the same specification at the upper end of the slide block support 49 to achieve a small clearance fit. The other side of the slide block 44 is designed with a trapezoidal thread outer diameter of Tr26×3. Guided by the handwheel seat 45, the slide block 44 can slide horizontally along the dovetail groove when manually rotated by the handwheel 46, thereby realizing the horizontal displacement of the forming wheel 41 to complete the forming feed function of the ring rib. The bottom of the slide block support 49 is designed with a positioning pin 411 and fasteners, namely standard part M12×45 screw 47 and standard part 12 spring washer 48, for positioning and connection with the support structure unit 6, see Figure 5 As shown.

[0068] In the forming process of ring-ribbed parts, an inner support slider with dimensions perfectly matching the inner surface of the part contacts the cylindrical surface of the part, applying radial preload. The outer cylindrical surface of the part contacts the inner surface of the forming wheel for forming. The forming wheel feeds along the radial direction of the ring rib, and its ultimate radial extrusion forming resistance P = 4.5KN. If a step-by-step forming method is adopted during the forming process, the forming resistance can be significantly reduced. Its main structure includes: forming wheel, wheel axle, sliding bearing (graphite copper sleeve), slide block, handwheel seat, handwheel, etc.; see Figure 5 As shown.

[0069] After the ring-rib part is locally heated to 750℃~800℃, the rotary table rotates, bringing the front end of the locally heated area back to the forming position of the forming wheel. The surface of the ring-rib part comes into contact with the surface of the forming wheel, and heat is conducted to the forming wheel, further reducing the heat loss of the ring-rib part and lowering its temperature. The forming wheel then heats up after working for a period of time. Therefore, the forming wheel is made of hot work die steel H13, which can operate at temperatures up to 800℃, has high strength, and exhibits stable oxidation resistance under air heating.

[0070] 5. Hydraulic power unit

[0071] Hydraulic power unit 5 consists of a purchased hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic power station. The hydraulic cylinder is model HOB63-50-FB, with a cylinder diameter of 63mm, a stroke of 50mm, and a rated thrust of 3 tons.

[0072] The hydraulic power station uses a 3.7KW-2W-F dual-line oil supply, with a rated output pressure of 8MPa and a flow rate of 30L / min.

[0073] 6. Supporting structural unit

[0074] The supporting structural unit 6 is a frame structure formed by welding rectangular tubes. Its main components include: four horizontal beams 61, a mounting base plate 62, an automatic horizontal rotation unit mounting plate 63, a hydraulic power unit mounting plate 64, a forming wheel unit mounting plate 65, two longitudinal beams 66, two reinforcing beams 67, a hydraulic cylinder support seat 68, a hydraulic cylinder support seat reinforcing rib plate 69, four columns 610, and four column reinforcing rib plates 611. These components support the high-frequency induction heating unit 1, the internal support rotary chuck unit 2, the automatic horizontal rotation unit 3, the forming wheel unit 4, and the hydraulic power unit 5, and also bear and transmit the forming load of the ring reinforcement. (See attached diagram.) Figure 6 As shown.

[0075] A crossbeam 61 and a longitudinal beam 66 form a square frame, which is supported by a column 610 at the bottom. A reinforcing beam 67 is installed at the bottom of the column 610 to form a support frame. The longitudinal beam 66 and the column 610 are reinforced by a column stiffener 611. A mounting base plate 62 is installed on the top of the support frame. An automatic horizontal rotation unit mounting plate 63 and a forming wheel unit mounting plate 65 are installed on the mounting base plate 62. A hydraulic cylinder support seat 68 is installed below the automatic horizontal rotation unit mounting plate 63. A hydraulic station power unit mounting plate 64 is installed on the hydraulic cylinder support seat 68. The bottom of the hydraulic cylinder support seat 68 is reinforced by a hydraulic cylinder support seat reinforcing rib 69.

[0076] The forming method using the aforementioned high-frequency coil heating forming apparatus for titanium alloy ring-ribbed parts includes:

[0077] The ring rib blank is installed on the inner support rotary chuck unit 2. By controlling the hydraulic station power unit 5, the positions of the main slider 22 and the auxiliary slider 24 are adjusted to support the inner circle of the ring rib blank.

[0078] The high-frequency induction heating unit 1 heats the ring rib blank, the automatic horizontal rotation unit 3 drives the inner support rotary chuck unit 2 to rotate, and the forming wheel 41 of the forming wheel unit 4 is controlled to rotate horizontally and move in the horizontal direction. The two forming wheels 41 are controlled to form the inward flanging structure of the upper and lower ends of the ring rib blank respectively. The ring rib is formed by the cooperation of the high-frequency induction heating unit 1, the automatic horizontal rotation unit 3, the forming wheel unit 4 and the hydraulic station power unit 5.
