Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of forging dies, and in particular to a blind hole extrusion die for shaft forgings and a blind hole depth control method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, especially in the production of shaft parts, die forging technology occupies an extremely important position. As a high-efficiency and high-precision metal forming method, die forging is widely used in many industries such as automobiles, aviation, and mechanical manufacturing. Among them, the design and manufacture of forging dies are directly related to the quality and performance of forgings, especially when producing shaft parts with complex shapes, the accuracy of the die is even more important. Shaft forgings with center blind holes are a special type of shaft parts, and are widely used in various mechanical devices that require axial lightweighting or have non-through hole structures at the axis center due to design requirements. The presence of blind holes not only affects the weight and strength of the shaft, but also its accuracy is directly related to the working performance of the entire shaft.

[0003] The traditional blind hole forging process relies primarily on the coordination of upper and lower dies, with the blind hole rod in the upper die being used for forward extrusion to form the desired blind hole. However, the accuracy of forming the blind hole rod in the predetermined position during forward extrusion is low. Furthermore, since the extrusion depth directly affects the formation of the blind hole, the blind hole depth in this method is often fixed, making it difficult to adjust and lacking flexibility. This limits the use of shaft forgings in applications requiring high-precision blind holes. Summary of the Invention

[0081] Specifically, if Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the present application also discloses a method for controlling the depth of a blind hole in a shaft forging, comprising a blind hole extrusion die for a shaft forging, and further comprising the following steps:

[0082] S1: Place the forging blank into the die cavity 4;

[0083] S2: adjusting the preset pressing distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3 through the guide limiter 6;

[0084] S3: The motor drives the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3 to move downward simultaneously, and the flat pressing upper die 3 is pressed against and presses the forging blank in the die cavity 4;

[0085] S4: When the flat pressing upper die 3 is pressed against and presses the upper end surface of the lower die 2, the forging of the forging blank shape and the preliminary forging of the blind hole depth by the blind hole rod 5 are completed;

[0086] S5: the flat pressing upper die 3 stops moving downward, and the forging upper die 1 continues to move downward relative to the flat pressing upper die 3. The forging upper die 1 drives the blind hole rod 5 to continue to be inserted into the forging blank to extrude and form the blind hole in the forging;

[0087] S6: When the forging upper die 1 moves down to the preset pressing distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3, the forging upper die 1 stops moving, the blind hole rod 5 stops pressing down, and the forging of the forging is completed.

[0088] This application first places the forging blank, then adjusts the top pressing distance, and then, by synchronously moving down the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3 and pressing the blank, the preliminary forging of the blank shape and the initial formation of the blind hole are achieved, and then the forging upper die 1 is continued to be moved down to push the blind hole rod 5 deeper, accurately completing the extrusion forming of the blind hole, and finally stopping when the preset top pressing distance is reached, thereby ensuring the shape and dimensional accuracy of the shaft forging, while improving the production efficiency and quality of the shaft forging; facilitating the one-piece forming of the shaft forging, and ensuring that the shaft forging meets the requirements of high precision and high quality.

[0089] More specifically, in step S2 , the pressing distance between the guide sleeve 62 and the limiting sleeve 63 is adjusted by the pressing adjustment mechanism 64 to obtain a preset pressing distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flattening upper die 3 .

[0090] In step S2 of the present application, the top pressure distance between the guide sleeve 62 and the limit sleeve 63 is adjusted by the top pressure adjustment mechanism 64, thereby realizing the precise setting of the preset top pressure distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3; ensuring that during the forging process, the distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3 can be finely adjusted according to the specific requirements of the blind hole of the forging, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy of the blind hole of the shaft forging.

[0093] The staggered limiting tooth component 662 realizes multi-level precise adjustment of the distance between the forging upper die 1 and the flat pressing upper die 3 through the design of the top pressing teeth 664 and the matching limiting grooves 665; the length of the top pressing teeth 664 is set corresponding to the depth of the first top groove 6651, so that the top pressing teeth 664 can be inserted into the limiting grooves 665 of different depths according to needs, among which the first top groove 6651 has the largest depth and the third top groove 6653 has the smallest depth, providing a progressive adjustment option; such a mechanism not only enhances the accuracy of the adjustment, but also provides a variety of options for the fine control of the die gap during the forging process, so that the pressure and position of the die can be adjusted according to different forging requirements, effectively improving the accuracy and quality of the forged parts; and the staggered limiting tooth component 662 can be quickly rotated and adjusted by rotating the limiting sleeve 63 to adapt to different forging processing requirements, thereby improving processing efficiency;

[0094] A method for controlling the depth of blind holes in shaft forgings comprises the following steps: firstly placing a forging blank, then adjusting the top pressing distance, and subsequently, synchronously moving down a forging upper die 1 and a flat pressing upper die 3 and pressing the blank to achieve preliminary forging of the blank shape and initial formation of the blind hole, and then continuing to move down the forging upper die 1 to push a blind hole rod 5 deeper, accurately completing the extrusion forming of the blind hole, and finally stopping when a preset top pressing distance is reached, thereby ensuring the shape and dimensional accuracy of the shaft forging, while improving production efficiency and the quality of the shaft forging; facilitating the one-piece forming of the shaft forging, and ensuring that the shaft forging meets high precision and high quality requirements.
