Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bolt production and processing, and particularly relates to a bolt hot heading machine and processing method based on high-frequency heating. Background Art

[0002] Hot heading refers to a method in metal processing where the metal material is first heated to a certain plastic state and then subjected to stamping or plastic deformation to obtain the desired shape and size. This method is commonly used in manufacturing fasteners or other metal parts.

[0003] Hot heading and cold heading are two different metal processing methods. Cold heading involves stamping or plastic deformation of the metal material at room temperature, while hot heading requires prior heating of the metal material. In comparison, hot heading is more suitable for processing larger or complex-shaped workpieces, as well as situations where it is necessary to improve the material structure and enhance mechanical properties.

[0004] In the production process of bolt hot heading, heating is a crucial step. Traditional bolt heating technologies, such as flame heating or electric heating, although meeting the production requirements to a certain extent, have many deficiencies. Firstly, the heating speed of these traditional methods is relatively slow, which not only affects production efficiency but also increases the oxidation risk of bolts during heating, thus affecting product quality. Secondly, the energy conversion efficiency of traditional heating methods is low, resulting in a large amount of energy waste and environmental pollution. Moreover, these methods often make it difficult to precisely control the heating temperature, easily causing the temperature to be too high or too low, thereby affecting the quality and performance of bolts.

Detailed implementation manner

[0050] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work conditions belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] In addition, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or hanging, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0054] In the first aspect of the present application, a bolt processing method based on high-frequency heating is provided. The hot heading machine includes a main body frame, a stepping feeding mechanism, a high-frequency heating mechanism, a clamping and discharging mechanism, a clamping and positioning mechanism, an impact forging mechanism, a driving device, and a transmission mechanism, asFigure 8 as shown

[0055] The bolt processing method includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. Use a stepping feeding mechanism to step-feed the bolt blanks in a row. The stepping feeding mechanism is used to step-feed the bolt blanks in a row, ensuring that the blanks can continuously and stably enter the heating and forming processes.

[0057] S2. Heat the end of the bolt blank being step-fed through the high-frequency magnetic field generated by a high-frequency heating mechanism until it reaches the temperature for plastic deformation. The high-frequency heating mechanism uses the high-frequency magnetic field to heat the end of the bolt blank being step-fed. When the bolt blank passes through this mechanism, it will be quickly heated to the temperature for plastic deformation, which is necessary for the subsequent stamping and forming steps. It allows the bolt blank to change shape more easily when subjected to impact without breaking or cracking.

[0058] S3. Use a clamping and discharging mechanism to clamp the heated bolt blank and place it at the clamping station. The clamping and discharging mechanism accurately clamps the heated blank after heating and places it at the clamping station for the next stamping and forming operation.

[0059] S4. Use a clamping and positioning mechanism to fix the bolt blank at the clamping station. The clamping and positioning mechanism fixes the bolt blank at the clamping station, ensuring its accurate position and preventing movement or deflection during stamping.

[0060] S5. Through an impact forging mechanism, stamp and form the end of the bolt blank. The impact forging mechanism finally stamps and forms the end of the fixed bolt blank to complete the bolt processing process.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the high-frequency induction heating method is adopted to heat the end of the bolt during the step-by-step transportation. Its principle is to use a high-frequency alternating current to generate an alternating magnetic field through an induction coil. When the end of the bolt blank enters this alternating magnetic field, eddy currents will be generated inside it. Since these eddy currents generate Joule heat due to the resistance of the metal material, the end of the bolt blank can be quickly heated.

[0062] Due to the principle of high-frequency induction heating, the end of the bolt blank can reach the required heating temperature in an extremely short time. This rapid heating speed not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the oxidation of the bolt during the heating process, thus ensuring the quality of the bolt.

[0063] Compared with traditional heating methods such as flame heating or electric heating, high-frequency induction heating has higher energy conversion efficiency, less energy is wasted, thus reducing energy consumption and waste gas emissions, and is more environmentally friendly.

[0064] High-frequency induction heating can monitor and control the heating temperature in real time. Precise temperature control not only ensures the accuracy and consistency of bolt heating, but also avoids quality problems caused by too high or too low temperature.

[0065] By adopting the step-by-step transportation method, it can ensure that the ends of the bolt blanks are arranged in a neat suspended state in a row, which is beneficial for the high-frequency induction coil to uniformly heat them. The neat arrangement ensures that the ends of each bolt blank in the target heating area can be heated under the same conditions and with the same efficiency, thereby improving the heating consistency and product quality.

[0066] By adopting the step-by-step transportation method, the ends of the bolt blanks are neatly arranged, enabling the induction coil to more effectively cover the target heating area, reducing energy loss, and further improving the heating speed and energy utilization efficiency.

[0067] By adopting the step-by-step transportation method, contact between bolt blanks is avoided, reducing the risk of failures caused by blank adhesion or jamming, and reducing potential safety hazards such as sparks or short circuits that may occur during the heating process, thereby improving the safety of the operation process.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the step-by-step feeding mechanism includes: a support plate 1, fixed to the main body frame; a step plate 2, movably arranged on one side of the support plate 1; a material guiding component 3, fixed to the end of the support plate 1; and a pushing plate 4, movably arranged below the material guiding component 3.

[0069] Step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] S101. Horizontally support the bolt blank by using the support plate.

[0071] S102. The transmission mechanism drives the step plate to make reciprocating up-and-down and back-and-forth movements relative to the support plate, so that the step plate and the support plate alternately support multiple bolts, realizing the step-by-step feeding action.

[0072] S103. The material guiding component guides the bolt blank to discharge.

[0073] S104. The pushing plate receives and pushes the bolt blank to the clamping and discharging mechanism.

[0074] In this embodiment, through the alternating support and pushing of the step plate 2 and the support plate 1, the bolts can move forward continuously and stably, thereby improving the overall production efficiency of the bolt production line.

[0075] Through the alternating support and propulsion of the stepping plate 2 and the support plate 1, the bolts are neatly arranged in a row, and their head ends can be suspended and extend out of the support plate. This arrangement makes it easy for the end of the bolt blank to be exposed during the material transfer process, thus facilitating the cooperation with the coil of the high-frequency heating mechanism to heat the end of the bolt blank.

[0076] Through the design of arranging the bolts orderly and exposing their heads, the heating operation can be carried out simultaneously during the material transfer process, without additional transfer and positioning steps. This not only saves time but also reduces the space occupied by the equipment and improves the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the high-frequency heating mechanism includes: a chassis 5, provided in the stepping feeding mechanism, which is internally provided with a high-frequency power supply, a transformer, and a controller; a support frame 6, one end of which is connected to the chassis 5, and the other end is connected to a first coil 7 and a second coil 8. The first coil 7 and the second coil 8 are respectively suspended above and below the end of the bolt blank that is in the stepping conveying process and at the target area position.

[0078] Step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] S201. The high-frequency power supply converts the electrical energy of the industrial power supply into high-frequency alternating current energy; the design of the high-frequency power supply enables it to output high-frequency alternating current, and the high-frequency alternating current energy can more effectively generate induced current in the metal.

[0080] S202. The transformer transforms the high-frequency current generated by the high-frequency power supply into electrical energy with high voltage and low current, and delivers it to the first coil and the second coil; the high voltage can more effectively generate induced current in the bolt blank, while the low current helps to reduce energy loss and improve energy efficiency.

[0081] S203. A high-frequency electric field is generated between the first coil and the second coil, heating the end of the bolt blank that is in the stepping conveying process and at the target area position to the temperature of plastic deformation; when the bolt blank is stepped into the high-frequency magnetic field, due to the principle of electromagnetic induction, induced current will be generated inside the bolt blank. These eddy currents flow inside the bolt blank and are converted into heat energy due to the resistance of the metal. As the heat accumulates, the end of the bolt blank is heated to the temperature of plastic deformation.

[0082] In this embodiment, since the first coil 7 and the second coil 8 are respectively located above and below the bolt blank, the high-frequency magnetic field generated between them can accurately cover the end of the bolt blank. This layout ensures that the magnetic field acting on the bolt blank during the heating process is local, thus achieving the end heating effect without heating the entire bolt blank, thereby saving energy and improving the heating efficiency.

[0083] Rapid local heating of the bolt blank by a high-frequency heating mechanism can greatly shorten the heating time and improve production efficiency. At the same time, since the heating process is more uniform and precise, it also helps to improve the processing quality of the bolt and the consistency of the product.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the clamping and unloading mechanism includes: a fixed plate 9, which is vertically fixed to the main frame of the hot header machine and has a baffle 10 at the upper end; a slider 11, which is slidably arranged on the fixed plate 9, a compression spring is arranged between the baffle 10 and the slider 11, the upper end of the slider 11 is connected with a guide rod 12 passing through the compression spring and the baffle 10, and the upper end of the guide rod 12 is provided with a limiting cap; a clamping jaw assembly 13, including a clamping rod connected to the slider and an elastic clip fitted with the side wall of the clamping rod, a limiting groove is provided at the lower end of the side wall of the clamping rod fitted with the elastic clip, the lower end of the elastic clip can be elastically tilted, and the lower end of the clamping rod and / or the elastic clip is provided with a groove for feeding; a clamping transmission assembly 14, connected to the transmission mechanism, is used to transmit power to the slider to drive the slider to lift and lower.

[0085] Step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0086] S301, moving the push plate carrying the bolt blank to the bottom of the clamping jaw assembly;

[0087] S302, the clamping transmission assembly drives the slide block to descend, and the slide block drives the clamping claw assembly to descend, so that the clamping rod contacts the bolt blank;

[0088] S303, the slide block is further lowered until the clamp rod is pressed against the push plate, and the bolt blank enters between the clamp rod and the elastic clip from the groove, and the bolt blank squeezes the elastic clip to elastically deform outward, so that the bolt blank can be squeezed into the limiting groove to achieve clamping;

[0089] S304, the push plate is retracted to the initial position, the clamping jaw assembly carrying the bolt blank continues to descend to the clamping station, and the bolt blank is clamped and fixed using the clamping positioning mechanism;

[0090] S305, the clamping transmission assembly drives the slide block to rise, so that the bolt blank is released from the limiting groove, the bolt blank squeezes the elastic clip to separate from the clamping claw assembly, and the elastic clip returns to its original state under the action of its own elasticity, completing the material release action.

[0091] In this embodiment, the automatic clamping and automatic placement of the bolt blank is achieved by only controlling the lifting and lowering of the slide block 11 and the clamping jaw assembly 13. The control logic is simple, and has high reliability and stability, which not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the production efficiency and automation level.

[0092] The clamping jaw assembly 13 includes a clamping rod and an elastic clamping piece, and a limit groove is provided on the clamping rod. This design does not require an additional driving device to drive the clamping jaw to clamp and release, making the structure simpler, the operation more convenient, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs, and having high practicality and economy.

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the clamping and positioning mechanism includes: a fixed module 15, which is fixedly connected to the main frame, and its clamping surface is provided with a first clamping groove extending horizontally; a movable module 16, which is movably connected to the main frame, and its clamping surface is provided with a second clamping groove matching the first clamping groove; an opening and closing mold assembly drives the movable module 16 to clamp with the fixed module 15, so that the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove clamp the bolt blank;

[0094] Step S4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0095] S401. After the clamping jaw assembly carries the bolt blank down to the first clamping groove, the opening and closing mold assembly drives the moving module to stagger the clamping jaw assembly and clamp with the fixed module, so that the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove clamp the rod of the bolt blank, so that the heating end of the bolt blank is suspended.

[0096] Specifically, the structure and working principle of the opening and closing mold assembly are prior art, such as the description of the patent with publication number CN116475350A. In this embodiment, the opening and closing mold assembly is used to drive the dynamic module 16 and the fixed module 15 to clamp together, so that the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove clamp the rod body of the bolt blank, and the end of the bolt blank is suspended and exposed, which is convenient for stamping the end of the bolt blank.

[0097] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the impact forging mechanism includes: a two-die seat 17, which is provided with a first die 18 and a second die 19 arranged up and down, and is used for stamping and forming the bolt blank twice; a lifting transmission assembly 20, which drives the two-die seat 17 to move up and down, so that the positions of the first die 18 and the second die 19 are switched, so that the first die 18 and the second die 19 are aligned with the bolt blank successively; a stamping transmission assembly 21, which drives the two-die seat 17 to move along the axis of the bolt blank, so that the first die 18 and the second die 19 respectively stamp the heated end of the bolt blank;

[0098] Step S5 specifically includes the following steps:

[0099] S501, the impact transmission assembly drives the second punch die seat to move along the axis of the bolt blank, so that the first punch die first punches the heated end of the bolt blank into shape;

[0100] S502, after the impact transmission assembly drives the second punch seat to retreat, the lifting transmission assembly drives the second punch seat to move upward, so that the second punch is aligned with the bolt blank;

[0101] S503. The impact drive assembly drives the second die holder to move along the axis of the bolt blank, so that the second die performs a secondary stamping on the heated end of the bolt blank to form a shape.

[0102] Specifically, the structures and working principles of the lifting drive assembly 20 and the stamping drive assembly 21 are prior arts, as described in the patent with the publication number CN116408418A. In this embodiment, the lifting drive assembly 20 drives the second die holder 17 to move up and down, and the stamping drive assembly 21 drives the first die 18 and the second die 19 to perform stamping on the heated end of the bolt blank successively.

[0103] Through two - stage stamping, the first stamping shapes the basic shape of the bolt blank, and the second stamping further refines the structure and enhances its physical properties, which helps to eliminate the internal stress that may occur after the first stamping, thereby improving the stability and durability of the bolt. By heating the end of the bolt blank, the plasticity of the bolt blank can be improved, making it easier to deform during the stamping process, so as to process bolt blanks with larger sizes, and the required stamping force will be reduced accordingly, which helps to extend the service life of the die and reduce equipment wear.

[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the hot forging machine includes a blank discharging mechanism. The blank discharging mechanism includes: a first blank discharging plate 22, arranged on one side of the moving die block 16, fixed to the main body frame, and corresponding to the suspended end of the bolt blank in step S401; a second blank discharging plate 23, arranged on one side of the fixed die block 15, connected to the movable push rod 24, and corresponding to the suspended end of the bolt blank in step S401; the movable push rod 24, connected to the transmission mechanism, for driving the second blank discharging plate 23 to displace and discharge the blank.
