Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of die design, and in particular, to a preheating device and method for offline preheating of a die. Background Art

[0002] The forging of the heel end of the special-shaped steel rail for turnouts is formed by a four-station die. Due to its structural characteristics and usage characteristics, it needs to be preheated every time it is used to prevent the die from cracking and failing under the action of thermal and cold stresses. At present, the die preheating method is to first install the four-station die tooling on the existing press, lift the upper die block by the press to separate the upper and lower dies, then move the preheating plate into the space between the upper and lower dies, and preheat the die through the thermal radiation of the heating tube. The preheating temperature is 200 - 300 °C, and the preheating time is 2 - 3 h, 2 h in summer and 3 h in winter. During the die preheating period, the operator is in a standby state, which severely restricts the production efficiency of the hot forging of the steel rail.

[0003] It increases with the increase in the variety of products, and the smaller the quantity per batch, the more serious the impact on production efficiency. According to the current production situation, there are more than 40 types of hot forging dies, and the production quantity per batch is relatively small, 10 - 20 pieces (the daily output is about 25 pieces). According to statistics, the production auxiliary time required for die preheating is 2 - 3 hours per day, which seriously affects production. Therefore, it is necessary to design a set of devices to conveniently and quickly complete the die preheating work without occupying the forging press. Generally, we define that the die installed on the forging press for preheating is online preheating, and the die preheated not on the forging press is offline preheating.

[0004] Regarding the above technical solution, the inventor found that there are at least the following technical problems:

[0005] Since the existing die preheating device takes a long time to preheat the die and occupies the forging press, when there are many types of products and small batches, it is necessary to frequently change the die types. It is impossible to complete the die preheating without occupying the forging press.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more problems existing in the above related technical solutions.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0034] Now, the exemplary embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be more complete and comprehensive, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0035] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0036] In this exemplary embodiment, a preheating equipment for offline preheating of the mold is first provided. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 as shown, the mold 100 can be decomposed into an upper mold part 110 and a lower mold part 120. The preheating equipment includes: a mold separating device 200 and a mold preheating device 300.

[0037] Among them, the mold separating device 200 is provided with a frame 210. The frame 210 is provided with a bottom plate 220. A lifting assembly 230 is connected to the bottom plate 220. The upper end of the lifting assembly 230 is connected to a placement platform 240 for placing the mold 100. The upper end of the frame 210 is connected to a limiting assembly 250. The limiting assembly 250 is disposed between the upper mold part 110 and the lower mold part 120 of the mold 100. Among them, when the placement platform 240 drives the mold 100 to move downward through the lifting assembly 230, the limiting assembly 250 restricts the downward movement of the upper mold part 110 of the mold 100, so that the upper mold part 110 and the lower mold part 120 of the mold 100 are separated.

[0038] Among them, the mold preheating device 300 is provided with a horizontal moving assembly 320. On one side of the horizontal moving assembly 320 facing the mold separating device 200, a heating assembly 310 for preheating the mold 100 is connected. The horizontal moving assembly 320 is used to drive the heating assembly 310 to move between the upper mold part 110 and the lower mold part 120 of the mold 100.

On the other hand, a profiling heating box body is designed for the upper and lower mold parting surfaces, so that the upper mold, the heating box body, and the lower mold form a closed space, improving the heating efficiency.

[0042] Through the above preheating equipment, the upper and lower parts of the mold 100 are preheated offline at the same time. Without occupying the forging press, the mold 100 can be directly started for production operation after the preheating of the mold 100 is completed, thus solving the problem of long production auxiliary time and low production efficiency in the state of many product types and small batches.

[0054] In combination with the above embodiments, the specific method of use when using the preheating device is as follows.

[0055] Step 1: The complete set of molds 100 is transferred to the loading and unloading device 400 . The complete set of molds 100 comprises an upper mold part 110 and a lower mold part 120 .

[0056] Step 2: Start the feeding and discharging device 400 and move the mold 100 to the middle floating slide block of the mold separation device 200 via a roller conveyor.

[0057] Step 3: Positioning the mold 100. The mold 100 moves longitudinally and stops after reaching the end stopper, and the lateral positioning cylinder on the floating slide extends to position the mold 100 laterally.

[0058] Step 4: Limit the upper die part 110. After the mold 100 is positioned, the limit cylinders on the columns around the mold separating device 200 extend the limit blocks 251, and insert the limit blocks 251 between the upper die part 110 and the lower die part 120.

[0059] Step 5: Separate the mold 100. After the limit blocks 251 are in place, the lower hydraulic jack retracts, the floating slider drops, driving the mold 100 to move downward. Since the upper die part 110 is restricted by the limit blocks 251, the upper die part 110 and the lower die part 120 of the mold 100 are separated.

[0061] Step 7: Form a closed space. After the heating component 310 is in place, the hydraulic jack extends slightly, so that the upper surface of the lower die part 120 contacts the lower surface of the heating component 310, thereby forming a closed heating space.

[0062] Step 8: Start heating

[0063] Step 9: After heating is completed, an alarm is issued. The hydraulic jack retracts slightly, and after the heating component 310 moves downward, it moves horizontally backward and moves out of the mold 100.

[0064] Step 10: Close the mold 100. The hydraulic jack extends. After the upper and lower molds 100 are closed, the limit cylinder retracts and the limit blocks 251 retract.

[0065] Step 11: The side cylinder on the floating slider retracts.

[0066] Step 12: Start the feeding and discharging roller table, move the mold 100 out, and use the overhead crane to lift the whole mold 100 to the forging machine to start the forging operation.
