Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated forging technology, specifically to an automated forging system and its processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A forging machine is a machine that uses hammering and other methods to shape metal materials in a plastic state into workpieces with a certain shape and size, and to change their physical properties. During forging, the metal material is first heated, and then hammered at high temperature by a forging machine, causing surface deformation.

[0003] In industrial production, when forging automotive parts, different molds are selected according to the shape of the parts. The metal material is then heated and placed on the mold, and then forged into shape by the forging machine in one or more passes.

[0004] In existing automated forging processes, after a workpiece is placed on the forging die by a robotic arm for the first forging, it is only initially forged and requires a second forging. During the second forging, the workpiece needs to be removed manually or by a robotic arm and placed into the next forging die for a second forging. In addition, some workpieces may stick to the die after forging and cannot be removed, requiring manual hammering. Furthermore, after both the first and second forging processes, lubricant needs to be sprayed onto the die using a spray pipe, making the operation cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and resulting in low forging efficiency.

[0005] In view of this, and to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention develops an automated forging system and its processing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that after the first forging, the existing automated forging system requires manual or robotic arm to remove the workpiece and place it into the next mold for forging. In addition, some workpieces stick to the mold and cannot be removed. They need to be removed by manual hammering and manual spraying of lubricant on the mold of the forging machine. The operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the forging effect is low.

[0007] This invention provides the following technical solution: an automated forging system, comprising a forging machine body, a housing, an adjusting component, a fixing component, a lubrication component, and a control component; the housing is fixedly installed on the forging machine body; the housing is a hollow structure, and the adjusting component is fixedly installed inside the housing. The adjusting component moves outward as the forging machine body moves up and down, pushing the forged workpiece into the next mold. The specific installation method can be bolted or welded. A fixing component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting component. The fixing component moves inward as the forging machine body moves up and down, fixing the adjusting component. The specific installation method can be bolted or welded. A lubrication component is fixedly installed at the top of the housing. The lubrication component moves as the forging machine body moves up and down, and lubricating oil is sprayed out due to changes in internal air pressure. The specific installation method can be bolted or welded. The forging machine body is electrically connected to the control component.

[0008] To ensure that the workpiece can be repositioned during the forging process, the adjustment component allows the workpiece to be repositioned on the die during forging. During the repositioning process, the movement of the forging machine body activates the lubrication component, which sprays lubricant to lubricate the die. At the same time, when the machine body moves downward, the downward impact force is large. To prevent the die from separating, the fixing component applies pressure to both sides of the die, ensuring that the die remains tightly attached after forging.

[0009] The adjustment assembly includes a base, a lower mold, a movable frame, a support, a rack, a gear, and a push plate. The base has three circular through holes on one side of its top and two circular through holes on the other side. The base has four rectangular grooves in its center, the length of which is half the width of the lower mold. The lower mold is slidably mounted on the base, and the movable frame is movably mounted around the lower mold. Racks are vertically positioned at the four corners and the midpoint of any short side of the movable frame, with the width of the racks being 2:3 the diameter of the circular through holes. A support is fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the base, and a gear is fixedly mounted above the support, meshing with the rack on the short side of the movable frame. The connection can be made by bolting or welding. The push plate is slidably mounted on the top of the base, located at the bottom of the lower mold. The push plate has trapezoidal teeth on its top, meshing with the gears. The width of the push plate is equal to the width of the circular through holes.

[0010] The forging workpiece can be repositioned by adjusting the components, placing it in the next die for forging. To enable rapid die repositioning without affecting forging, the forging machine body moves, transmitting power to the moving frame. This allows the pusher plate to move the workpiece, sliding at the bottom of the lower die and simultaneously pushing it to both sides. The workpiece moves from one side of the lower die to the other for secondary forging. The length of the rectangular groove is half the width of the lower die. This prevents the rectangular groove from being exposed when the die slides within it, thus preventing forging debris from entering and causing the lower die to jam and prevent sliding. The ratio of the rack width to the diameter of the circular through hole is 2:3 to ensure that the rack can slide within the circular through hole when moving downwards. This provides allowance for the rack's movement, increasing its travel distance and the lower die's directional movement. This allows the workpiece to move smoothly from the lower die to another position and prevents it from sticking and becoming difficult to remove.

[0011] The lower mold consists of two semi-circular arc molds. A circular groove is formed on the lower mold, and the distance between the two circular grooves is equal to the diameter of the circular groove. A conical groove is formed on the bottom of the lower mold, and the width of the conical groove is equal to the width of the push plate.

[0012] When the lower die consists of two semi-circular arc dies, it is necessary to forge workpieces of different shapes. During the workpiece forging process, different dies are required for forging. The two semi-circular arc dies are two dies of different shapes. After forging at one end of the lower die, the workpiece is then forged at the other end. The two semi-circular arc dies can be separated and combined. The conical groove on the bottom of the lower die is designed to push the two semi-circular arc dies apart by a push plate. The width of the conical groove is equal to the width of the push plate to prevent debris from entering the conical groove at the bottom of the lower die.

[0013] The ratio of the length of the movable frame to the length of the lower mold is 5:4, the ratio of the width of the movable frame to the width of the lower mold is 3:1, and the ratio of the length of the racks at the four corners of the movable frame to the length of the rack at the midpoint of the shorter side is 3:2.

[0014] To ensure that the lower die is not affected during movement, the ratio of the length of the moving frame to the length of the lower die is 5:4, and the ratio of the width of the moving frame to the width of the lower die is 3:1. This ensures that the lower die can move a longer distance when moving to both sides, allowing the workpiece to pass through without being affected by the moving frame. Furthermore, the total distance between the moving frame and the lower die must be greater than the diameter of the forging workpiece.

[0015] The length of the push plate is 2 / 3 of the length of the lower mold. One end of the push plate is arc-shaped, and the diameter of the arc shape is equal to the diameter of the circular groove of the lower mold. The thickness of the push plate is equal to the height of the conical groove at the bottom of the lower mold.

[0016] In the process of using a push plate to move the workpiece, in order to ensure that the workpiece can move smoothly to the next mold position, the length of the push plate must be 2 / 3 of the length of the lower mold to ensure the moving distance of the push plate. The rounded shape of one end of the push plate is to ensure that it can fit against the bottom of the workpiece and push the workpiece smoothly.

[0017] The fixing assembly includes a connecting rod, a sleeve, a rotating tooth, and a convex circle; the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall on both sides of the box, and there are two connecting rods. A sleeve is rotatably installed on the connecting rod. A convex circle is fixedly installed at 1 / 3 of the position at both ends of the sleeve. A rotating tooth is fixedly installed at both ends of the sleeve, and the rotating tooth meshes with the racks on the four corners of the moving frame. The specific installation method can be to use bolt connection or welding.

[0018] It should be noted that since the lower die consists of two semi-circular arc dies, and the downward pressure of the forging machine body during the forging process is relatively large, to prevent the lower die from being subjected to excessive pressure and separating during forging, a convex circle on the fixed component is used. This allows pressure to be applied to both sides of the lower die during forging. As the forging machine body moves downward, the pressure on both sides of the lower die increases, preventing separation due to pressure during forging. The two connecting rods apply pressure to both sides of the die. At the same time, the convex circles fixed at the two ends of the sleeve at 1 / 3 position ensure that the force on both sides of the lower die is even. By rotating the convex circles, inward pressure is applied to ensure the forging quality during forging. In addition, the pressure on both sides of the lower die increases during the forging process, ensuring the tightness between the lower dies and achieving a positioning function.

[0019] The convex circle rotates at an angle of 0-45° with the connecting rod. The distance from the center of the convex circle to its highest point is three times its diameter. The maximum distance the convex circle pushes the lower mold to move is the radius of the circular groove on the lower mold.

[0020] During the forging process, the workpiece is subjected to pressure, which causes the lower die to tend to move outward. To prevent the lower die from moving outward, the rotation of the convex ring continuously applies pressure to both sides of the lower die, allowing the lower die to fit tightly together. The convex ring rotates at an angle of 0-45° on the connecting rod to ensure that it does not rotate beyond the horizontal position, thus ensuring that the convex ring can continuously apply pressure to the lower die. The distance from the center of the convex ring to its highest point is three times the diameter to provide a longer distance for continuously applying pressure to the lower die. The maximum distance the convex ring pushes the lower die to move is the radius of the circular groove on the lower die, ensuring that when the lower die moves inward, the convex ring should not affect the distance the lower die moves, thereby preventing the workpiece from being pushed on the lower die.

[0021] The lubrication assembly includes a sliding rod, a compression spring, a rectangular block, nozzle holes, and a pressurizing module. The sliding rod is slidably installed at the four corners of the top of the housing, and passes through the top of the housing and is fixedly installed at the top of the moving frame. One end of the compression spring is fixedly installed at the top of the housing, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rectangular block. The compression spring is located outside the sliding rod. The installation method can be bolted or welded. The rectangular block has an arc-shaped through hole in the middle. The rectangular block has a hollow structure inside. Multiple nozzle holes are fixedly installed on the edges of the arc-shaped through hole on the top and bottom of the rectangular block. The diameter of the nozzle holes is between 0.5-1mm, and the distance between two adjacent nozzle holes is between 2-3cm. The pressurizing module is fixedly installed inside the rectangular block. The installation method can be bolted or welded.

[0022] During the forging process, due to the long vertical movement of the forging machine body, the compression spring on the lubrication component is compressed as the forging machine body moves. As the compression spring is compressed to its limit, the forging machine body moves upward, and the compression spring returns to its original position. It then uses elastic potential energy to drive the rectangular plate and the moving frame to move upward, thereby causing the adjusting component to move. As the forging machine body moves upward, the rectangular block follows the forging machine upward, spraying lubricant through the nozzle orifice. This ensures that the mold and the workpiece do not stick during forging. When the diameter of the nozzle orifice is between 0.5-1mm, it ensures that the sprayed lubricant is sprayed in a mist and over a long distance. The distance between the nozzle orifices is between 2-3cm to ensure that the lubricant can lubricate the outer surface of the mold in all directions, ensuring that every part of the mold is lubricated.

[0023] The pressurization module includes a cylinder, a circular hole, a diaphragm, a pressure spring, a compression tube, a cannon, a diffuser, and a flow hole. The cylinder is movably mounted at the four corners of the top of the rectangular block. A pressure spring is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the cylinder, and the cylinder and pressure spring are located inside the circular hole. The cylinder can be connected by bolts or welding. A diaphragm is fixedly mounted at the bottom 1 / 4 of the cylinder, and can be connected by bolts or adhesive. The inner wall of the circular hole communicates with the compression tube, the compression tube communicates with the cannon, the cannon communicates with the diffuser, the diffuser communicates with the nozzle hole, and the bottom of the cannon communicates with the flow hole. The flow hole is vertically located at the bottom of the cannon. The diameter of the cannon is 1:3 the diameter of the compression tube and the diffuser. The diaphragm is a flexible diaphragm that opens when compressed downwards and closes when compressed upwards.

[0024] To ensure rapid and atomized lubricant spraying, the elastic potential energy of a pressure spring moves the cylinder, allowing gas to flow quickly through the orifice and into the diffuser via the compression tube and the nozzle. This allows the lubricant to flow out of the orifice and into the diffuser, then into the nozzle orifice for final spraying onto the mold. A diaphragm is fixedly installed at the bottom 1 / 4 of the cylinder to ensure sufficient lubricant is sprayed. Due to the large orifice space, the cylinder's movement causes the diaphragm to carry out a large amount of gas, resulting in ample lubricant output. The diameter of the nozzle is 1:3 compared to the diameters of the compression and diffuser to ensure the lubricant is quickly absorbed by the low-pressure area of ​​the nozzle, flows out through the diffuser, and is atomized into a mist using the Venturi principle before being sprayed out through the nozzle orifice.

[0025] A processing device includes a support, a hydraulic device, and an automatic forging system, wherein the hydraulic device and the automatic forging system are fixedly installed on the support.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] 1. This invention features an adjustment component on the casing. Through the cooperation between the forging machine body and the adjustment component, the forging machine body moves upward after forging, causing the adjustment component to move and carrying the workpiece from the mold to the next mold for the next forging. This avoids the phenomenon of workpiece sticking to the mold. The workpiece can be moved without manual or robotic arm removal, making the operation simple and improving forging efficiency.

[0028] 2. This invention provides a lubrication component on the housing. Through the cooperation between the forging machine body and the lubrication component, the forging machine body moves upward after forging, activating the lubrication component and spraying out the lubricating fluid inside the lubrication component to lubricate the mold on the forging machine body. This eliminates the need for manual lubrication, saving manpower, time, and effort, and improving forging efficiency.

[0029] 3. The present invention provides a fixing component inside the housing. Through the cooperation between the forging machine body and the fixing component, when the forging machine body is forging the workpiece, the fixing component can move downward along with the forging machine body to fix the mold, preventing the mold on the adjusting component from separating during forging. At the same time, it can also play a role in positioning the workpiece. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, an automated forging system includes a forging machine body 1, a housing 2, an adjusting component 3, a fixing component 4, a lubrication component 5, and a control component. The housing 2 is fixedly installed on the forging machine body 1. The housing 2 is a hollow structure, and the adjusting component 3 is fixedly installed inside the housing 2. The adjusting component 3 moves outward as the forging machine body 1 moves up and down, pushing the forged workpiece into the next mold. The specific installation method is bolt connection. The fixing component 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting component. The fixing component 4 pushes the adjusting component 3 inward as the forging machine body 1 moves up and down, and fixes the adjusting component 3. The specific installation method is bolt connection. The lubrication component 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the housing 2. The lubrication component 5 moves as the forging machine body moves up and down, and the lubricating oil is sprayed out due to the change in internal air pressure. The specific installation method is bolt connection. The forging machine body 1 is electrically connected to the control component.

[0046] During the forging process, the forging machine body 1 is started by the control component to forge the workpiece. The workpiece is placed on the adjusting component 3. The workpiece is quickly forged by the downward movement of the forging machine body 1. At the same time, as the forging machine body 1 moves downward, the fixing component 4 is driven to fix the adjusting component 3. After forging is completed, when the forging machine body 1 moves upward, it drives the adjusting component 3 to move, thereby pushing the workpiece into another mold for forging. During the upward movement of the forging machine body 1, the lubrication component 5 is started and sprays lubricating fluid to lubricate the mold on the forging machine body 1.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the adjustment assembly 3 includes a base 31, a lower mold 32, a movable frame 33, a support 34, a rack 35, a gear 36, and a push plate 37. Three circular through holes 311 are opened on the top of any one side of the base 31, and two circular through holes 311 are opened on the other side of the base 31. Four rectangular grooves 312 are opened in the middle of the base 31, and the length of each rectangular groove is half the width of the lower mold 32. The lower mold 32 is slidably mounted on the base 31, and the movable frame 33 is movably mounted around the lower mold 32. The movable frame 33 has vertically arranged at its four corners and the midpoint of any short side. The rack 35 has a width-to-diameter ratio of 2:3 to the circular through hole 311. A bracket 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 31, and a gear 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 34. The gear 36 meshes with the rack 35 on the short side of the movable frame 33. The installation method is to connect them by welding. The push plate 37 is slidably installed on the top of the base 31. The push plate 37 is located at the bottom of the lower mold 32. The top of the push plate 37 has trapezoidal teeth 371, and the trapezoidal teeth 371 mesh with the gear 36. The width of the push plate 37 is equal to the width of the circular through hole 311.

[0048] When the workpiece is placed on the lower mold 32 on the adjusting component 3, the forging machine body 1 moves downward, which drives the moving frame 33 to move downward. The rack 35 on the moving frame 33 drives the gear 36 on the support 34 to rotate, thereby the gear 36 drives the push plate 37 to move outward.

[0049] When the forging machine body 1 moves upward, the lubrication component 5 will be free from pressure, thereby driving the moving frame 33 to move upward. The moving frame 33 drives the gear 36 on the support 34 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 36 drives the push plate 37 to move. The push plate 37 then pushes the workpiece to move from the lower die 32 to another position. During the movement, the lower die 32 moves outward. When the workpiece moves to the designated position, as the forging machine body 1 moves downward, the lower die 32 moves inward, and at the same time, the push plate 37 returns to its original position.

[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower mold 32 is composed of two semi-circular arc molds 321. A circular groove 322 is provided on the lower mold 32, and the distance between the two circular grooves 322 is equal to the diameter of the circular groove 322. A conical groove 323 is provided on the bottom of the lower mold 32, and the width of the conical groove 323 is equal to the width of the push plate 37.

[0051] When the forging machine body 1 moves upward, the lower die 32 will move upward due to the moving frame 33, thereby driving the push plate 37 to push the two semi-circular arc dies 321 on the lower die 32 to move outward. When the forging machine body 1 moves downward, the two semi-circular arc dies 321 will move inward and come closer to each other.

[0052] The ratio of the length of the movable frame 33 to the length of the lower mold 32 is 5:4, the ratio of the width of the movable frame 33 to the width of the lower mold 32 is 3:1, and the ratio of the length of the racks 35 at the four corners of the movable frame 33 to the length of the rack 35 at the midpoint of the shorter side is 3:2.

[0053] The length of the push plate 37 is 2 / 3 of the length of the lower mold 32. One end of the push plate 37 is an arc shape 372, and the diameter of the arc shape 372 is equal to the diameter of the circular groove 322 of the lower mold 32. The thickness of the push plate 37 is equal to the height of the conical groove 323 at the bottom of the lower mold 32.

[0054] When the push plate 37 pushes the workpiece, the arc shape 372 at one end of the push plate 37 will push the workpiece to move, and while the push plate 37 slides at the bottom of the lower mold 32, it will also push the lower mold 32 outward.

[0055] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing component 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a sleeve 42, a rotating tooth 43, and a convex circle 44. The connecting rod 41 is fixedly installed on the inner walls on both sides of the housing 2. There are two connecting rods 41. The sleeve 42 is rotatably installed on the connecting rod 41. The convex circle 44 is fixedly installed at 1 / 3 position at both ends of the sleeve 42. The rotating tooth 43 is fixedly installed at both ends of the sleeve 42. The rotating tooth 43 meshes with the rack 35 on the four corners of the moving frame 33. The specific installation method is to connect by welding.

[0056] When the forging machine body 1 moves downward, it drives the moving frame 33 to move downward. The rack 35 on the moving frame 33 drives the rotating gear 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve 42 to rotate. The sleeve 42 drives the convex circle 44 to rotate, and the convex circle 44 rotates inward. The apex of the convex circle 44 will contact the side of the lower mold 32 and push the two semi-circular molds 321 on the lower mold 32 to move inward, preventing the lower mold 32 from moving due to force during forging. When the forging machine body 1 moves upward, it drives the moving frame 33 to move upward. The rack 35 on the moving frame 33 drives the rotating gear 43 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the sleeve 42 to rotate in the opposite direction. The sleeve 42 drives the convex circle 44 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the convex circle 44 rotates outward. The apex of the convex circle 44 will disengage from the side of the lower mold 32.

[0057] The convex circle 44 rotates at an angle of 0-45° on the connecting rod 41. The distance from the center of the convex circle 44 to its highest point is three times the diameter. The maximum distance that the convex circle 44 pushes the lower mold 32 to move is the radius of the circular groove 322 on the lower mold 32. During the inward rotation of the convex circle 44, the highest point of the convex circle 44 will always be in contact with the lower mold 32.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the lubrication assembly 5 includes a sliding rod 51, a compression spring 52, a rectangular block 53, nozzle holes 54, and a pressurizing module 55. The sliding rod 51 is slidably installed at the four corners of the top of the housing 2, and passes through the top of the housing 2 and is fixedly installed at the top of the moving frame 33. The top of the housing 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the compression spring 52, and the other end of the compression spring 52 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rectangular block 53. The compression spring 52 is located outside the sliding rod 51, and the installation method is to connect it by welding. The rectangular block 53 has an arc-shaped through hole 531 in the middle. The rectangular block 53 has a hollow structure inside. Multiple nozzle holes 54 are fixedly installed on the edges of the arc-shaped through hole 531 on the top and bottom of the rectangular block 53. The diameter of the nozzle hole 54 is between 0.5-1mm, and the distance between two adjacent nozzle holes 54 is between 2-3cm. The pressurizing module 55 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular block 53, and the installation method is to connect it with bolts.

[0059] When the forging machine body 1 moves downward, it will come into contact with the sliding rod 51 on the lubrication assembly 5. The sliding rod 51 will be compressed and move downward. At the same time, the bottom of the compression spring 52 will be compressed. The rectangular block 53 moves with the movement of the forging machine body 1. The sliding rod 51 will transmit the pressure to the moving frame 33, causing the moving frame 33 to move downward. When the forging machine body 1 moves upward, the pressure on the sliding rod 51 will decrease. At the same time, the compression spring 52 will push the rectangular block 53 and the sliding rod 51 upward due to its own elastic potential energy, thereby driving the moving frame 33 at the bottom of the sliding rod 51 to move upward.

[0060] like Figure 12As shown, the pressurization module 55 includes a cylinder 551, a circular hole 552, a diaphragm 553, a pressure spring 554, a compression tube 555, a cannon 556, a diffuser 557, and a flow hole 558. The cylinder 551 is movably installed inside the sliding rod 51 at the four corners of the top of the rectangular block 53. The pressure spring 554 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 551, and the bottom of the cylinder 551 and the pressure spring 554 are located inside the circular hole 552. The specific installation method is to connect them by welding. The diaphragm 553 is fixedly installed at the bottom 1 / 4 position of the cylinder 551. The connection is achieved by adhesive bonding; the inner wall of the circular hole 552 is connected to the compression tube 555, the compression tube 555 is connected to the grate 556, the grate 556 is connected to the diffuser tube 557, the diffuser tube 557 is connected to the nozzle hole 54, the bottom of the grate 556 is connected to the flow hole 558, and the flow hole 558 is vertically located at the bottom of the grate 556. The diameter ratio of the grate 556 to the diameters of the compression tube 555 and the diffuser tube 557 is 1:3. The diaphragm 553 is a flexible diaphragm 553, which opens when compressed downwards and closes when compressed upwards.

[0061] As the forging machine moves downward, the cylinder 551 experiences downward pressure, causing it to move downward and compressing the pressure spring 554 at its bottom. During this downward movement, the diaphragm 553 on the cylinder 551 opens under pressure, preventing any change in internal air pressure. As the forging machine moves upward, the downward pressure on the cylinder 551 decreases, and the pressure spring 554 at its bottom pushes the cylinder upward due to its elastic potential energy. This causes the diaphragm 553 to move upward, closing as it moves upward. This pushes the gas inside the circular hole 552 out through the compression pipe 555. As the gas rapidly flows through the compression pipe 555, through the grate 556, and into the diffuser 557, the lubricant inside the flow hole 558 is drawn into the grate 556 due to low-pressure adsorption and flows through the diffuser 557 into the nozzle hole 54, where it is sprayed out to lubricate the mold.

[0062] This invention also provides a processing apparatus, including the automatic forging system described in any of the above embodiments. Specifically, the processing apparatus includes a support, a hydraulic device, and an automatic forging system, which is driven to start operation by the hydraulic device.

[0063] In the overall working process, during the forging process, the forging machine body 1 is started by the control component to forge the workpiece. The workpiece is placed on the adjusting component 3. By moving the forging machine body 1 downward, the workpiece is quickly forged. During the downward movement of the forging machine body 1, it will come into contact with the sliding rod 51 on the lubrication component 5. The sliding rod 51 is compressed and will move downward. At the same time, the bottom of the compression spring 52 will be compressed. The rectangular block 53 moves with the movement of the forging machine body 1. The sliding rod 51 transmits the pressure to the moving frame 33, causing the moving frame 33 to move downward. The upper rack 35 drives the rotating gear 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve 42 to rotate. The sleeve 42 drives the convex circle 44 to rotate, and the convex circle 44 rotates inward. The highest point of the convex circle 44 will contact the side of the lower mold 32 and push the two semi-circular molds 321 on the lower mold 32 to move inward. At the same time, the cylinder 551 on the sliding rod 51 will exert downward pressure, causing the cylinder 551 to move downward and compressing the pressure spring 554 at the bottom of the cylinder 551. During the downward movement, the diaphragm 553 on the cylinder 551 will be opened under pressure, and the internal air pressure will not change.

[0064] After forging is completed, when the forging machine body 1 moves upward, the pressure on the sliding rod 51 will decrease during the upward movement of the forging machine body 1. At the same time, the compression spring 52 will push the rectangular block 53 and the sliding rod 51 upward due to its own elastic potential energy, thereby driving the moving frame 33 at the bottom of the sliding rod 51 to move upward. The moving frame 33 drives the gear 36 on the support 34 to rotate. The gear 36 rotates and drives the push plate 37 to move. The arc shape 372 at one end of the push plate 37 will push the workpiece to move. While the push plate 37 slides at the bottom of the lower mold 32, it will also push the two semi-circular molds 321 on the lower mold 32 to the outside, moving them from the lower mold 32 to another position. The rack 35 on the moving frame 33 drives the rotating gear 43 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating gear 43 drives the sleeve 42 to rotate in the opposite direction. The sleeve 42 drives the convex circle 44 to rotate in the opposite direction. The convex circle 44 rotates outward, and the highest point of the convex circle 44 will disengage from the side of the lower mold 32.

[0065] Meanwhile, as the forging machine moves upward, the downward pressure on the cylinder 551 decreases. At the same time, the pressure spring 554 at the bottom of the cylinder 551 will push the cylinder 551 upward due to its own elastic potential energy, causing the diaphragm 553 on the cylinder 551 to move upward. During the upward movement, the diaphragm 553 will close, pushing the gas inside the circular hole 552 to flow out through the compression pipe 555. As the gas rapidly flows through the compression pipe 555 and into the diffuser pipe 557 through the grate 556, the lubricating fluid inside the flow hole 558 will flow into the grate 556 due to low-pressure adsorption, and then into the nozzle hole 54 through the diffuser pipe 557, thus being sprayed out through the nozzle hole 54 to lubricate the mold.
