Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace, marine shipbuilding, petrochemical and nuclear power industries, hydraulic presses, as iconic equipment in the field of pressure forming, are increasingly trending towards larger, heavier and even gigantic sizes. Giant isothermal forging hydraulic presses of 500MN or larger for die forging and isothermal forging processes of large disc-shaped and large structural parts made of titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, aluminum alloys, alloy steels, and other metal materials, as well as giant multi-directional forging hydraulic presses for multi-directional forging processes of large valve bodies in the petrochemical and nuclear power fields, each require an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan per set. However, due to the significant differences in forming processes between the two, and the unique structural characteristics of the hydraulic presses, most giant hydraulic presses are dedicated to die forging, isothermal forging, or multi-directional forging. There is a lack of equipment that can combine the two functions and two processes into one giant forging hydraulic press. Designing and developing a giant die forging / isothermal forging / multi-directional forging multifunctional composite hydraulic press, realizing a flexible integrated design of multiple forging processes from die forging to isothermal forging to multi-directional forging, will greatly reduce investment costs and solve the problem of co-line production of large disc-shaped structural parts of aerospace high-temperature alloys and titanium alloys and large valve body forgings in the petrochemical and nuclear power fields.

Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] In related technologies, there is a lack of multi-functional composite hydraulic presses that integrate hydraulic presses for die forging, isothermal forging, or multi-directional forging. For forgings that require multiple forging processes to form a single part, multiple forging hydraulic presses are needed, which not only occupy a large area but also have a complex operation process. To solve this problem, the upper crossbeam assembly is decomposed into three independent beams to ensure the stability of the upper crossbeam. At the same time, the horizontal cylinder assembly is placed on the outside of the column to reduce the size of the hydraulic press. The leveling beam in the isothermal forging process provides a function to resist the horizontal deformation of the column during multi-directional forging. Multiple force transmission steps are set between the column and the lower crossbeam. The force transmission steps have unequal width gaps in the horizontal direction, which optimizes the force flow path of the horizontal forging force and improves the uniformity of the force on the lower crossbeam under the action of the horizontal forging force, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

Figure 2 This is a side view of the hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes provided by the present invention. Figure 3 This is a front view of the hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes provided by the present invention.

[0034] This invention provides a hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hydraulic press designed with coupled multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes includes: an upper crossbeam assembly 1, a column 2, side cylinders 3, a central main cylinder 4, and a lower crossbeam 5; the upper crossbeam assembly 1 includes a first side beam 101, a second side beam 102, and a middle beam 103, the first side beam 101 and the second side beam 102 are disposed on both sides of the middle beam 103, a first gap 104 is provided between the first side beam 101 and the middle beam 103, and a second gap 105 is provided between the middle beam 103 and the second side beam 102; the central main cylinder 4 is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the middle beam 103, and the side cylinder 3 includes a first side cylinder The first side cylinder 301 and the second side cylinder 302 are fixedly mounted at the lower end of the first side beam 101 and the second side cylinder 302 are fixedly mounted at the lower end of the second side beam 102. The column 2 includes a first column 201 and a second column 202. The top end of the first column 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first side beam 101 and the middle beam 103. The top end of the second column 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second side beam 102 and the middle beam 103. The bottom ends of the first column 201 and the second column 202 are both fixedly connected to the lower crossbeam 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting the three beams in the upper crossbeam assembly 1 to be independent of each other and leaving a gap between each pair, the problem of misalignment caused by uneven deformation due to uneven force in the prior art is solved, thereby improving the reliability of the hydraulic press, avoiding the overall rework of large structural components, saving energy, and extending the service life of the hydraulic press.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the weight of each component such as the crossbeam of the hydraulic press is generally between 300 and 500 tons. Welding, processing and installation all challenge the limits of existing technology, and the costs of secondary disassembly, transportation, repair and installation are extremely high.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the three beams in the upper crossbeam assembly 1 are independent of each other, with no positioning keys between any two beams, and are not connected to each other. There are no crossbeam tie rods to connect and lock the three beams together, and gaps are reserved between each pair of beams. The central master cylinder 4 is installed on the middle beam 103 of the upper crossbeam, and the central master cylinder 4 has no contact with the first side beam 101 and the second side beam 102.

[0038] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, there are two sets of the first side cylinder 301 and the second side cylinder 302. The two sets of the first side cylinder 301 are installed on the first side beam 101, and the two sets of the second side cylinder 302 are installed on the second side beam 102. Regardless of the process mode, each beam deforms independently without affecting the others.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical force operation of the hydraulic press can be divided into three working modes. In the first mode, the central main cylinder 4 presses up alone while the side cylinders 3 do not work. The pressure transmitted by the central main cylinder 4 is borne independently by the central beam 103, and the first side beam 101 and the second side beam 102 are not subjected to force. In the second mode, the first side cylinder 301 and the second side cylinder 302 press up simultaneously while the central main cylinder 4 does not work. The pressure transmitted by the first side beam 101 is borne by the first side cylinder 301, the second side beam 102 is borne by the second side cylinder 302, and the central beam 103 is not subjected to force. In the third mode, the central main cylinder 4, the first side cylinder 301, and the second side cylinder 302 press up simultaneously. The first side beam 101 independently bears the pressure transmitted by the two sets of first side cylinders 301, the central beam 103 independently bears the pressure transmitted by the central main cylinder 4, and the second side beam 102 independently bears the pressure transmitted by the two sets of second side cylinders 302.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, horizontal cylinders 601 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hydraulic press body to realize the function of multi-directional forging.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in order to ensure the quality of the forging, the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 is set in the same direction as the first gap 104. One side of the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the first column 201, and the other side is fixedly connected to the second column 202, so as to ensure that the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 and the hydraulic press body are connected as a whole and to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0045] According to the present invention, a hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 includes a horizontal cylinder 601, a perforated cylinder 602, and a horizontal cylinder pull rod 603.

The plunger 6022 of the perforated cylinder passes through the plunger 6012 of the horizontal cylinder and is slidably connected to the plunger 6012 of the horizontal cylinder.

[0046] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the cylinder body of the perforated cylinder 602 adopts an integrated cylinder beam structure to ensure structural stability.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal cylinder rod 603 on one side of the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the first column 201, and the horizontal cylinder rod 603 on the other side is fixedly connected to the second column 202, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the horizontal cylinder assembly 6 and the machine body.

[0048] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the inner distance between the first column 201 and the second column 202 is less than the outer diameter of the horizontal cylinder 601.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diameters of the plunger 6012 of the horizontal cylinder and the plunger 6022 of the perforated cylinder are smaller than the inner distance between the first column 201 and the second column 202.

[0050] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top end of the plunger 6012 of the horizontal cylinder is connected to a sliding member.

[0051] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top end of the plunger 6022 of the piercing cylinder is connected to a lead screw, which passes through the slider 7 and the mold 11 for forging piercing.

[0052] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the cylinder body 6021 of the perforated cylinder and the cylinder body 6011 of the horizontal cylinder are connected by screws.

[0064] In this embodiment, during the isothermal forging process, the leveling beam 801 is adjusted by setting the upper leveling cylinder 802 and the lower leveling cylinder 803 to achieve the calibration of the slider 7, thereby ensuring the quality of the forging; during the multi-directional forging process, the leveling beam 801 used in the isothermal forging process also has the function of resisting the horizontal deformation of the column 2, realizing the coupling of the multi-directional forging process and the isothermal forging process in the machine body structure design.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, anti-deformation steps 12 are provided on the outer surfaces of the first column 201 and the second column 202. The anti-deformation steps 12 are fixedly connected to the first column 201 and the second column 202. Preferably, the anti-deformation steps 12 are welded to the first column 201 and the second column 202.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the slot 8011 of the leveling beam 801 is in sliding engagement with the anti-deformation step 12.

[0067] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the length of the anti-deformation step 12 is greater than the range of vertical movement of the leveling beam 801.

[0068] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a gap X, X=1~2mm, is reserved between the slot 8011 and the anti-deformation step 12. When the slider 7 moves down to close the mold but the horizontal cylinder 601 is not working, X is in a gap state. When multi-directional forging is performed, that is, when the horizontal cylinder 601 is working, it drives the column 2 to bend and deform outward, the gap X becomes 0, and prevents the column 2 from continuing to bend and deform outward.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the leveling beam 801 is fixedly connected to the slider 7 via the fourth tie rod 13.

[0070] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the leveling beam 801 further includes a leveling block 8012, which cooperates with the slider 7 to facilitate rapid and accurate calibration of the slider 7.

[0071] According to the present invention, a hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the leveling assembly 8 also includes a return cylinder 804, the cylinder body of which is mounted on the first column 201 or the second column 202, and the plunger of the return cylinder 804 is connected to the lower plane of the leveling beam 801.

[0072] In this embodiment, by setting a return cylinder 804, power is provided for the return stroke of the hydraulic cylinder, and the slider 7 resets to enter the next cycle, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0073] Figure 7 This is an enlarged view of the central main cylinder of the hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes provided by the present invention; Figure 8 This is a partially enlarged view of the central main cylinder of the hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes provided by the present invention.

[0074] According to the present invention, a hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a V-shaped sealing ring 401, a wedge-shaped sealing ring 402, and a trapezoidal sealing ring 403 are sequentially arranged between the first cylinder body 404 and the first plunger rod 405 from top to bottom.

[0075] In this embodiment, the central main cylinder 4 adopts a wedge-shaped sealing gap compensation structure. When the expansion deformation value of the ultra-large cylinder body is greater than the allowable expansion value of the V-shaped sealing ring 401, and the V-shaped sealing ring 401 can no longer meet the sealing function, the wedge-shaped sealing gap compensation structure can prevent oil leakage, play a role in sealing gap compensation, and improve the sealing effect.

[0076] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the central master cylinder 4 is greater than 2400mm.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the central master cylinder 4 adopts a sealing gap compensation structure, including a wedge-shaped sealing ring 402 and a trapezoidal sealing ring 403. When the master cylinder body is subjected to internal high pressure, it expands and deforms outward. The expansion deformation value of the cylinder body is greater than the allowable expansion value of the V-shaped sealing ring 401. At this time, the wedge-shaped sealing ring 402 in the sealing gap compensation structure moves towards the cylinder port under the squeezing action of the V-shaped sealing ring 401. During the movement, it will generate a squeezing force on the trapezoidal sealing ring 403. This squeezing force causes the trapezoidal sealing ring 403 to move towards both the cylinder port and the center of the cylinder at the same time. The movement towards the center of the cylinder will cause the trapezoidal sealing ring 403 to come into close contact with the master cylinder plunger rod, preventing oil leakage and achieving the sealing gap compensation effect.

[0078] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a guide sleeve 406 is provided between the first cylinder body 404 and the first plunger rod 405. The guide sleeve 406 is located at the upper end of the V-shaped sealing ring 401, which is suitable for reducing the collision between the first cylinder body 404 and the first plunger rod 405 and improving the service life of the central master cylinder 4.

[0079] According to the present invention, a hydraulic press with a coupled design of multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hydraulic press designed with multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes also includes a tie rod assembly 9. The tie rod assembly 9 includes a first tie rod 901, a second tie rod 902, and a third tie rod 903. The first tie rod 901 is detachably connected to the first side beam 101, the first column 201, and the lower crossbeam 5. The second tie rod 902 is detachably connected to the middle beam 103, the lower crossbeam 5, and the first column 201 or the second column 202. The third tie rod 903 is detachably connected to the second side beam 102, the second column 202, and the lower crossbeam 5.

[0080] In this embodiment, the upper crossbeam assembly 1, the column 2, and the lower crossbeam 5 are locked with nuts by setting the first tie rod 901, the second tie rod 902, and the third tie rod 903, thus pre-tightening the upper crossbeam assembly 1, the column 2, and the lower crossbeam 5 into a prestressed frame.

[0081] The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to a specific embodiment. It should be noted that the specific embodiment is only for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an unreasonable limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0082] Example 1 Before the hydraulic press operates in vertical force, it is leveled by the leveling assembly. When the hydraulic press operates in vertical force, the central main cylinder, the first side cylinder, and the second side cylinder provide power to drive the slider to move downward to forge the workpiece. After forging, the return cylinder drives the slider back to the initial position. When the hydraulic press operates in horizontal force, the horizontal cylinder provides power to drive the slider set at the front end of the horizontal cylinder assembly to move back and forth to forge the workpiece.

[0083] The hydraulic press of this invention, which couples multi-directional forging and isothermal forging processes, has the following technical advantages compared to the prior art: (1) The three beams in the upper crossbeam assembly are independent of each other, with no positioning keys between each pair, and no connection between each pair. There are no crossbeam tie rods to connect and lock the three beams, and gaps are reserved between each pair. The central main cylinder is installed on the middle beam of the upper crossbeam, and the central main cylinder has no contact with the first side beam and the second side beam. There are four sets of side cylinders in total. The first two sets are installed on the first side beam, and the last two sets are installed on the second side beam. Regardless of the process mode, each crossbeam deforms independently without affecting each other. This new combined crossbeam structure design avoids the problems of misalignment and abnormal noise caused by different deformation degrees of each beam in the existing technology, and the deformation and damage of positioning keys due to long-term load. It significantly improves the reliability and service life of the whole machine and completely avoids the hidden danger of secondary repair of large structural components in the later stage.

[0084] (2) The horizontal cylinder body in the horizontal cylinder assembly is located outside the column. The distance between the inner sides of the first column and the second column can be less than the outer diameter of the horizontal cylinder body. The perforated cylinder body adopts an integrated cylinder beam structure, which significantly reduces the overall dimensions of the machine in the front and rear directions and saves material costs.

[0085] (3) Multiple force transmission steps are set between the first and second columns and the lower crossbeam. The force transmission steps have unequal gaps in the horizontal direction, which optimizes the force flow path of the horizontal forging force and improves the uniformity of the force on the lower crossbeam under the action of the horizontal forging force.

[0086] (4) The leveling beam used in the isothermal forging process has the function of resisting the horizontal deformation of the column during the multi-directional forging process, realizing the coupling of multi-directional forging process and isothermal forging process in the fuselage structure design.

[0087] (5) The central main cylinder adopts a wedge-shaped sealing gap compensation structure. When the expansion deformation value of the cylinder body of the ultra-large oil cylinder is greater than the allowable expansion value of the V-shaped sealing ring, the V-shaped sealing ring can no longer meet the sealing function. The wedge-shaped sealing gap compensation structure can prevent oil leakage and achieve the sealing gap compensation effect.

[0088] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
