Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 4The embodiment of the present application provides a forging device for TC4 titanium alloy bars, comprising a pre-stressing part 3, a bar rotary feed part 2, and a forging part 1. A round bar 5 to be forged is fixed on the bar rotary feed part 2, and the bar rotary feed part 2 drives the round bar 5 to rotate while feeding it in the direction of the forging part 1; the pre-stressing part 3 is arranged between the forging part 1 and the bar rotary feed part 2, and the pre-stressing part 3 includes a pre-stressing support platform 31, a pre-stressing roller mechanism 32, and a scraping mechanism 33. The pre-stressing support platform 31 is arranged below the round bar 5 and supports the round bar 5; the pre-stressing roller mechanism 32 is arranged above the round bar 5, and the pre-stressing roller mechanism 32 applies downward pressure to the round bar 5; the scraping mechanism 33 is arranged on one side of the pre-stressing support platform 31, and the scraping mechanism 33 abuts against the surface of the round bar 5. The scraping mechanism 33 scrapes off the oxide layer on the surface of the round bar 5 while coating borax on the surface of the round bar 5.

[0046] The forging equipment for TC4 titanium alloy bars provided in this embodiment utilizes a bar rotary feed section 2 to rotary feed the round bar 5 after heating, and a pre-pressing section 3 is provided between the forging section 1 and the bar rotary feed section 2. The round bar 5 is pre-pressed by utilizing a pre-pressing roller mechanism 32 and a pre-pressing support platform 31 in the pre-pressing section 3. The pre-pressing can delaminate the oxide layer originally tightly attached to the surface of the round bar 5 from the round bar 5, making it easier to remove the oxide layer. Since the round bar 5 is in a rotating state, the scraping mechanism 33 can scrape off the oxide layer on the surface of the round bar 5, and simultaneously coat the surface of the round bar 5 with borax to remove impurities on the surface of the round bar 5, further remove the oxide layer on the surface of the round bar 5, and improve the mechanical properties of the round bar 5. This prevents the oxide layer on the surface of the round bar 5 from being pressed into the round bar 5 during subsequent forging by the forging section 1, thereby preventing the mechanical properties (strength and hardness) of the round bar 5 from being reduced and surface cracking caused by the pressing of the oxide layer. In addition, the pre-stressing part 3 can perform preliminary shaping forging on the round rod 5, reducing the forging ratio of the round rod 5 when the subsequent forging part 1 forges the round rod 5, and dividing the entire round rod 5 into the pre-stressing part 3 and the forging part 1 for fine processing, thereby reducing the time required for forging in the pre-stressing part 3 and improving the forging efficiency.

[0047] In one embodiment, the pre-pressing roller mechanism 32 includes a first telescopic device 321 and a pre-pressing roller 322. The pre-pressing roller 322 is rotatably mounted on the telescopic rod of the first telescopic device 321 and applies downward pressure to the round rod 5. The first telescopic device 321 can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. The first telescopic device 321 applies downward pressure to the pre-pressing roller 322, causing the pre-pressing roller 322 to press against the surface of the round rod 5. This causes the round rod 5 to deform (reduce its diameter) and causes the oxide layer attached to the surface of the round rod 5 to separate from the rod 5, facilitating its removal.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the surface of the pre-pressing roller 322 is provided with a plurality of raised pre-pressing blocks 3221. The shape of the pre-pressing blocks 3221 can be specifically spherical. By providing a plurality of raised pre-pressing blocks 3221 on the surface of the pre-pressing roller 322, when the pre-pressing roller 322 rolls the surface of the round rod 5, pits will be formed on the surface of the round rod 5, so that the local deformation of the surface of the round rod 5 will be larger, which is convenient for the effective delamination between the oxide layer on the surface of the round rod 5 and the body of the round rod 5, and is convenient for separation. In addition, the formed pits can make it possible for the subsequent scraping mechanism 33 to coat the surface of the round rod 5 with borax, so that the borax can stay in the pits, making it difficult for the borax to roll off the surface of the round rod 5 too quickly due to the rotation of the round rod 5, so that the borax has enough time to stay on the surface of the round rod 5, thereby improving the effect of borax protecting the round rod 5.

[0049] In one embodiment, the scraping mechanism 33 includes a connecting block 331 and a scraping block 332. The bottom of the connecting block 331 is fixed to the pre-load support platform 31; the scraping block 332 is disposed on the connecting block 331. The scraping block 332 is hollow and funnel-shaped and filled with borax. The bottom of the scraping block 332 is in close contact with the bottom of the round rod 5. The angle between the linear velocity direction at the point on the round rod 5 where the scraping block 332 meets the downward tilt of the scraping block 332 is an obtuse angle.

[0050] Since the round rod 5 is in a rotating state under the action of the rod rotating feed part 2, after the round rod 5 is rolled by the pre-pressing roller mechanism 32, a layer of stratification has already occurred between the oxide layer on the surface of the round rod 5 and the body of the round rod 5. At this time, when the rotating round rod 5 contacts the scraping block 332, the bottom of the scraping block 332 scrapes the oxide layer from the surface of the round rod 5. As the round rod 5 continues to rotate, the part of the round rod 5 where the oxide layer is scraped off rotates to the hollow area of the scraping block 332. At this time, the borax inside the scraping block 332 will contact the area of the round rod 5 where the oxide layer is scraped off, thereby coating the surface of the round rod 5 with borax, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the round rod 5, protecting the round rod 5, and reducing its oxidation rate. In addition, since the scraping mechanism 33 first scrapes off the oxide layer and then applies the borax, the borax will not be coated on the surface of the oxide layer, causing waste of borax, thereby ensuring the effective use of borax.

[0051] In one embodiment, the scraping mechanism 33 further includes a first elastic member 333, and a scraping block 332 is hingedly disposed on the connecting block 331. One end of the first elastic member 333 (which may be a spring or a spring) is connected to the connecting block 331, and the other end of the first elastic member 333 is connected to the scraping block 332. The first elastic member 333 imparts elastic force to the scraping block 332, so that the scraping block 332 remains in contact with the surface of the round rod 5. By hingedly disposing the scraping block 332 on the connecting block 331 and disposing the first elastic member 333 between the scraping block 332 and the connecting block 331, the elastic force of the first elastic member 333 is utilized to keep the scraping block 332 in contact with the surface of the round rod 5, thereby ensuring that the scraping mechanism 33 can effectively scrape off the oxide layer and apply borax.

[0052] In one embodiment, the forging section 1 includes a forging punch 13, a second telescopic device 12, and a forging support platform 11. The forging support platform 11 is disposed below the round rod 5 and is used to support the round rod 5. The second telescopic device 12 is disposed above the forging support platform 11. The forging punch 13 is connected to the telescopic rod of the second telescopic device 12. The second telescopic device 12 (specifically, a hydraulic device) drives the forging punch 13 to perform a downward impact motion, thereby causing the round rod 5 below to deform due to the impact. This, combined with the rotation of the round rod 5, achieves a refined forging process on the round rod 5.

[0053] In order to ensure that the size of the round bar 5 after forging by the forging part 1 meets the process requirements, Figure 3-4 As shown, in one embodiment, the forging part 1 also includes a roundness measuring part 14, which is arranged on the forging punch 13. The roundness measuring part 14 includes a mounting rod 141, a measuring rod 142, a high-temperature resistant displacement sensor 143, and a second elastic member 144. The mounting rod 141 is horizontally arranged on both sides of the forging punch 13, and a plurality of vertical through holes are opened on the mounting rod 141; the measuring rod 142 is slidably arranged in the vertical through holes of the mounting rod 141; the high-temperature resistant displacement sensor 143 is arranged at the top of the measuring rod 142, and the high-temperature resistant displacement sensor 143 measures the distance between itself and the mounting rod 141 in real time. The high-temperature resistant displacement sensor 143 is electrically connected to the rod rotating feed part 2 and controls the movement of the rod rotating feed part 2; the second elastic member 144 is sleeved on the measuring rod 142, one end of the second elastic member 144 is fixed on the mounting rod 141, and the other end of the two elastic members is connected to the measuring rod 142.

[0054] When the second telescopic device 12 drives the forging punch 13 to move downward (such as Figure 3As shown in the state), the roundness measuring part 14 moves downward along with the forging punch 13 until the bottom of the measuring rod 142 in the roundness measuring part 14 contacts the surface of the round rod 5. When the second telescopic device 12 continues to drive the forging punch 13 to move downward, the forging punch 13 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 144, so that the forging punch 13 and the mounting rod 141 thereon continue to descend until the forging punch 13 impacts the surface of the round rod 5 (as shown in the state). Figure 4 As shown in the state), each high temperature displacement sensor 143 feedbacks the maximum vertical distance between each of them and the mounting rod 141 during this process (ie Figure 4 The value under the state). According to the maximum value fed back by each high-temperature displacement sensor 143 and the length of the measuring rod 142, the coordinates of the contact point between the measuring rod 142 and the surface of the round rod 5 can be obtained. According to the coordinates of the contact point between each measuring rod 142 and the surface of the round rod 5, the diameter and roundness of the round rod 5 at this time can be obtained. When the diameter and roundness of the round rod 5 meet the requirements, the high-temperature displacement sensor 143 gives a feed signal to the rod rotation feed unit 2 (controlling the extension of the third telescopic device 23). By providing the roundness measuring unit 14, the forging unit 1 can monitor the roundness and diameter of the round rod 5 in real time, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the round rod 5 after forging.

[0055] In one embodiment, the bar rotary feed unit 2 includes a clamp 24, a feed platform 22, a third telescopic device 23, and a feed track 21. The feed track 21 is disposed on the ground, oriented toward the forging unit 1. The feed platform 22 is slidably mounted on the feed track 21. The telescopic end of the third telescopic device 23 is connected to the feed platform 22. The clamp 24 is rotatably mounted on the feed platform 22. One end of the clamp 24 clamps the round bar 5, and the other end of the clamp 24 is connected to the rotating unit.

[0056] Since the forging process of the round rod 5 takes a lot of time, it is easy for the temperature of the round rod 5 being forged in the pre-pressing part 3 and the forging part 1 to drop below the specified range (800-950°C), which can easily cause the round rod 5 to crack during the forging process. To this end, in one embodiment, the forging equipment of the TC4 titanium alloy bar further includes a secondary heating device 4, which includes an electromagnetic heating coil and a high-temperature resistant temperature sensor. The electromagnetic heating coil surrounds the round rod 5 between the pre-pressing part 3 and the bar rotary feed part 2, and the high-temperature resistant temperature sensor is arranged on one side of the electromagnetic heating coil, and the high-temperature resistant temperature sensor is electrically connected to the electromagnetic heating coil. By providing the secondary heating device 4, the round rod 5 is secondary heated by the high-temperature resistant temperature sensor and the electromagnetic heating coil, ensuring that the temperature of the round rod 5 during forging is within the specified range, and avoiding cracking due to the round rod 5 being forged at too low a temperature.

[0057] Another object of the present invention is to provide a forging method for a TC4 titanium alloy bar, using the forging equipment for the TC4 titanium alloy bar in any of the above embodiments, the forging method for the TC4 titanium alloy bar comprises the following steps:

[0058] S1. Heat the titanium alloy round rod 5 to be forged to 800-950° C., and then install and fix the round rod 5 on the rod rotary feed part 2;

[0059] S2, start the bar rotary feeding part 2, so that the round bar 5 is rotated and fed toward the direction where the pre-pressing part 3 and the forging part 1 are located;

[0060] S3, the pre-pressing unit 3 first pre-presses the round rod 5 to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the round rod 5 and coat the surface of the round rod 5 with borax, and reduces the deformation of the round rod 5 caused by the forging unit 1 to reduce the probability of forging cracking of the round rod 5;

[0061] S4. The pre-pressed round rod 5 moves to the position of the forging part 1 and is forged and formed by the forging part 1.

[0062] The heated round rod 5 is pre-pressed by the pre-pressing part 3 to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the round rod 5 and coat the round rod 5 with borax to protect the round rod 5, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the round rod 5.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
