Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cold extrusion technology for door closers, specifically a cold extrusion process for an internal tooth piston of a door closer. Background Technology
[0002] A door closer, also known as a modern hydraulic door closer, is a spring-like hydraulic device mounted on top of the door. The door closer operates by moving a linkage through the door, which in turn rotates a gear that drives a rack on the door closer piston. The piston moves to the right, compressing the spring and storing energy. When the external force is released, the spring releases the energy, pushing the piston in the opposite direction. The piston then pushes the gear in the opposite direction, thus closing the door. The traditional manufacturing process for a door closer piston involves: selecting a steel billet, forging it into a piston blank according to requirements, and then performing multiple rough turning operations on the outer diameter, top surface, CNC milling, and broaching. This traditional manufacturing process is complex, wasteful of raw materials, and suffers from long processing times and dimensional inaccuracies. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cold extrusion process for the internal tooth piston of a door closer, which solves the problems of material waste, complex processes, long forging time, and dimensional deviations associated with traditional piston machining through fine and rough turning.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cold extrusion process for an internal tooth piston of a door closer, specifically including the following steps:
[0005] S1. Preliminary preparation: spheroidize and anneal the steel, then use a punch press to cut the steel into uniform segments according to the required weight, and then clean, phosphate, and saponify it.
[0006] S2. Preliminary forming: The steel cut into sections in S1 is placed into a cold extrusion device, and the lower section of the steel is extruded into an elliptical cylinder and the upper section is extruded into a cylinder. At the same time, a directional concave hole is extruded at the center of the top circle of the upper section to form the initial blank.
[0007] S3. Extrusion and stretching: The top of the extrusion die in the cold extrusion die is a concentric circle with a flat part. The die is used to press the blank top concave hole, so that the blank top concave hole also has a flat part and the inside of the concave hole is hollow. The blank is stretched as a whole. Then the bottom of the blank is extruded. The bottom is pressed out by the ejector pin to form a bone groove. The bone groove is perpendicular to the major axis of the elliptical cylinder section.
[0008] S4. Extrusion and stretching: Using the bone groove to set the angle, the mold is used to back-extrude the solid part of the lower section of the blank, expanding this section from an elliptical cylinder into a cylindrical shape. The outer diameter of the cylinder is the grinding outer diameter required for this product. While expanding, the blank is further stretched.
[0009] S5, diameter reduction: the upper section of the blank is extruded with a mold to reduce its outer diameter to the above-mentioned grinding outer diameter. The top inner hole is freely formed and its diameter is less than 12mm, which is reserved for the subsequent installation of a one-way valve.
[0010] S6. Machining: Using a CNC milling machine, the two sides of the blank elliptical cylindrical section are milled into flat edges and a hole is drilled in the middle. The hole is machined into the shape required by the broach.
[0011] S7. Broaching: Use a broach to draw the hole formed in step 6 into the required shape.
[0012] Preferably, in step S2, the lower section of the blank is elliptical cylindrical with an outer diameter smaller than that of the upper end, in order to reduce the amount of material used and the amount of cutting in subsequent processes.
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the shape of the top of the extruded blank is a concentric circle with a flat section, and the inner hole of the top of the extruded blank is also a concentric circle with a flat section and the flat section is perpendicular to the major axis of the elliptical cylinder section. The bottom bone groove is perpendicular to the major axis of the elliptical cylinder section, which facilitates the orientation of the machining in step S6.
[0014] Preferably, the blank formed in step S4 is cylindrical at both ends and elliptical in the middle, with a circular inner hole at the top having a flat section that is perpendicular to the major axis of the elliptical cylinder cross-section.
[0015] Preferably, the inner hole at the top of the blank in step S5 is freely formed, and the diameter of the top circle of the upper section of the blank in step S5 must be less than 12mm.
[0016] Preferably, in steps S1-S5, the blank is extruded using a cold extrusion device in conjunction with multiple molds to obtain the final shape, or multiple molds are installed on a multi-station cold heading machine to achieve multi-station cold heading, which will result in higher production efficiency.
[0017] This invention provides a cold extrusion process for the internal tooth piston of a door closer, which has the following advantages compared with existing processes:
[0018] The cold extrusion process of the internal tooth piston of the door closer, through multiple cold extrusions and stretching of the blank to finally form it, can improve processing efficiency, reduce material waste, reduce machining costs, and the cold extrusion process can make the final product denser and have better physical properties.
