[0032] The specific multi-level ejection forging process is as follows:

[0033] a) Upsetting, the blank is cut from the round bar steel by a circular saw machine, the cut blank is in a round cake shape, the obtained blank is placed in a heating furnace for heating, and then the blank is placed in an upsetting die, and then a hot die forging press is used for forging to form an upsetting material;

[0034] b) Pre-forging, through after-heating normalizing and low-temperature tempering, rough turning is performed to obtain a pre-forging flange, the flange is cooled, and the flange after rough turning is subjected to S460 and S390 double steel shot peening strengthening treatment, and then a drilling machine is used to process the flange hole to complete the die forging of the flange;

[0036] In summary, the lightweight high-strength hub bearing flange first guarantees the mechanical properties of the product tensile strength, yield strength, and then lightweight design of the hub bearing flange forging, locally thinning the flange thickness, forming a five-equal boss structure, and at the same time, the boss is designed without drilling and chamfering. The hub flange and the brake disc form the final assembly, and a M6 threaded hole is generally designed to enable accurate positioning during assembly. In order to improve the production efficiency of threaded hole machining, the invention designs five sets of threaded positioning bosses 101 on the forging, which can be machined by randomly selecting one threaded positioning boss 101 through a visual sensor during subsequent machining, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the height of the positioning hole is raised, the length of the threaded connection is increased, the assembly strength is improved, and the hub bearing will be subjected to dynamic load and static load during use. The main load-bearing component is the flange. The invention adds 10 1mm*1mm reinforcing ribs 102 to the above lightweight design to connect the five bosses and five threaded positioning bosses 101, and at the same time, it is smoothly transitioned with a circular arc, greatly improving the strength of the product. The design of the connection also improves the dynamic balance requirement, achieving a more stable effect during use. By increasing the height of the precision forging upper die core 201, the thickness of the intermediate skin is thinned to achieve the purpose of process lightweight. The lengthening of the die core increases the difficulty of die demolding during production. Because the die core is thin, the design of the intermediate ejector rod 2011 will result in too thin wall thickness, reducing the service life of the die. The invention designs a fork ejector structure, which increases the contact area through the design of the ejector end face, enabling the product to be smoothly demolded. At the same time, in combination with the design of the precision forging upper die core 201 and the die block, a multi-level ejection structure design is invented. Through indirect ejection once and direct ejection once, two simultaneous springback designs are designed. The upper die assembly 2 completes the return stroke with the equipment, at which time the ejector rod 2011 moves vertically downward and contacts the three sets of ejector posts 207. The ejector rod 2011 and the three sets of ejector posts 207 continue to move downward, causing the precision forging upper die fork 202 to also move vertically downward, thereby achieving the effect of smoothly demolding the product. After completing the entire ejection action, the vertical force is removed, the ejector rod 2011 returns through the elastic force generated by the second spring 2012, and the precision forging upper die fork 202 returns through the elastic force generated by the first spring 205, thereby resetting the ejector rod 2011 and the ejector posts 207. The upper die assembly 2 and the lower die assembly 3 complete the precision forging effect of the hub bearing flange body 1.

[0037] The specific production process is as follows:

[0038] a) Upsetting, sawing the bar material The embryo material is cut from the round bar steel using a circular saw machine, and the cut embryo material is in the form of a round cake. The obtained embryo material is placed in a heating furnace for heating, and then placed in an upsetting die, and then forged by a hot die forging press to form an upsetting material;

[0039] b) pre-forging, by means of afterglow normalizing, low temperature tempering, rough turning, obtaining pre-broken flange, cooling flange, S460 and S390 double steel shot peening strengthening treatment on flange after rough turning, drilling flange hole by drill press, so as to complete flange die forging;

The multi-stage ejection forging die for the lightweight high-strength wheel hub bearing flange according to claim 1, characterized in that: The hub bearing flange body (1) has a five-part boss structure, and the upper end face of the hub bearing flange body (1) is provided with five sets of threaded positioning bosses (101). The five sets of threaded positioning bosses (101) are evenly and equidistantly arranged around the center of the hub bearing flange body (1). Reinforcing ribs (102) are provided on both sides of the five sets of threaded positioning bosses (101), and a total of ten sets of reinforcing ribs (102) are installed. The thickness of the hub bearing flange body (1) is six millimeters.

4. The multi-stage ejection forging die for the lightweight high-strength wheel hub bearing flange according to claim 2, characterized in that: The precision forging lower die top fork (303) and the precision forging lower die core (305) form an up-and-down sliding structure. The lower die assembly (3) is located directly below the upper die assembly (2), and the center of the lower die assembly (3) and the center of the upper die assembly (2) are on the same vertical line.

5. The multi-stage ejection forging die for a lightweight, high-strength wheel hub bearing flange according to claim 3, characterized in that: The upper end face of the wheel hub bearing flange body (1) is provided with five sets of bosses, and the bosses are all installed between the five sets of threaded positioning bosses (101). The reinforcing rib (102) is specifically arc-shaped. The five sets of threaded positioning bosses (101) are longitudinally drilled with M6 threaded holes. The inner side of the wheel hub bearing flange body (1) is provided with machining contour lines (103) and forging contour lines (104).

6. The forging method of the multi-stage ejection forging die for the lightweight high-strength wheel hub bearing flange according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The specific forging process is as follows: a) Upsetting: The billet is cut from the round steel bar using a circular saw. The cut billet is in the shape of a round disc. The obtained billet is heated in a heating furnace and then placed in an upsetting die. It is then forged using a hot forging press to form the upsetting material. b) Pre-forging: Through residual heat normalizing and low temperature tempering, rough turning is performed to obtain a pre-forged flange. After cooling, the flange after rough turning is subjected to double shot peening treatment with S460 and S390 steel shot. Then, the flange hole is machined using a drilling machine to complete the flange die forging. c) Precision forging: After the die forging is completed, the upper die assembly (2) completes the return stroke as the equipment prepares. At this time, the ejector rod (2011) moves vertically downward and contacts the three sets of ejector pins (207). The ejector rod (2011) and the three sets of ejector pins (207) continue to move downward, causing the precision forging upper die ejector fork (202) to also move vertically downward, thereby achieving the effect of smooth demolding of the product. After the entire ejection action is completed, the vertical force is removed, and the ejector rod (2011) returns through the elastic force generated by the second spring (2012). The precision forging upper die ejector fork (202) returns through the elastic force generated by the first spring (205), thereby resetting the ejector rod (2011) and ejector pins (207). The effect of precision forging of the wheel hub bearing flange body (1) is completed through the upper die assembly (2) and the lower die assembly (3).
