When working, the cylinder 21 is initially in a retracted state, and the workpiece is placed in the lower mold 33 and positioned by the guide mold 35. Start the cylinder 21 switch to eject the cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 drives the upper template 29, the upper die seat 30, and the upper punch 31 to move through the connecting rod 24. The upper template 29 contacts the limit block 25 to stop. The press switch is started, and the equipment slider moves downward.

After the slider returns to the position, the displacement sensor transmits a signal to link the cylinder 21 to return. The cylinder 21 drives the upper template 29, the upper die seat 30, and the upper punch 31 to move through the connecting rod 24. After the upper punch 31 moves, the material taking position is vacated for easy material taking.

[0030] The forming process of the bolt head forming die with a large upsetting ratio of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Saponify the rod material:

[0032] The saponification liquid is prepared at a mass ratio of concentrate: water = 250: 6000. It is required to add the concentrate first, then slowly add water, and stir continuously until uniform. The saponification liquid is heated to (70-80)°C, and then the workpiece is placed in the saponification liquid with a temperature of (75±5)°C and uniform stirring, and slightly shaken to make the workpiece fully contact with the saponification liquid. The workpiece is placed for (10-20) minutes, and then dried. The product surface is required to be covered with a uniform white saponification film to improve the surface lubricity of the workpiece;

[0033] Step 2: Use a pre-forging die to initially shape the bar material that has been saponified in step 1:

[0034] (1) Install the upper punch 3 in the upper die base 2, and then connect the upper die base 2 to the upper base plate 1 through bolts; place the material return tail punch 12 on the material return crossbeam 13, and then fix the material return crossbeam 13 and the tie rod 9 together through threaded connection; set the tail punch 11 and the material return punch 7 on the lower base plate 10, and then install the lower base plate 10 and the tie rod 9 together, and then fix the tie rod 9 and the upper base plate 1 together through threaded connection;

[0035] (2) Place the guide die 6 in the lower circular die sleeve 5, and then assemble the lower die 4 and the lower circular die sleeve 5 together through interference fit, and then place the bar material that has been saponified in step 1 in the lower die 4 and position it through the guide die 6; place the lower circular die sleeve 5 on the adjustment pad 8, and then place the adjustment pad 8 on the lower base plate 10; place the lower base plate 10 on the equipment workbench, and connect the upper base plate 1 to the equipment slider through bolts;

[0036] (3) The slide block of the equipment moves downward, driving the upper punch 3 to move downward, and cooperates with the top punch 7 and the tail punch 11 to extrude the bar material so that the bar material is formed in the lower die 4;

[0037] (4) After forming, the equipment slider moves upward, driving the pull rod 9 and the material return beam 13 connected to the pull rod 9 upward, and the material return beam 13 drives the material return tail punch 12 upward. After moving up a certain distance, the material return tail punch 12 contacts the tail punch 11 and drives the top punch 7 upward to move the initially formed process parts (such as Figure 4 shown) ejected.

[0038] By replacing the upper punch 3, the lower die 4 and the guide die 6 of the pre-forging die, the product can be quickly changed; by replacing the adjustment pad 8, the height size of the head can be fine-tuned, and the adjustment is simple and convenient.

[0039] Step 3: Place the workpiece initially formed in step 2 into a medium frequency induction coil and heat it to 1100°C to 1200°C. The medium frequency induction coil is a spiral coil formed by a copper tube. When the induction coil is energized, the workpiece in the induction coil generates an induced potential and forms an induced current under the action of electromagnetic induction. The induced current overcomes the resistance of the workpiece itself to generate Joule heat, thereby heating the workpiece.

[0040] Step 4: Place the heated process parts into the final forging die for final forging:

[0041] (1) The upper punch 31 is connected to the upper die base 30 through the upper die fixing sleeve 32, the upper die base 30 is connected to the upper die plate 29 through screws, the upper die plate 29 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 21 through the connecting rod 24, the cylinder 21 is connected to the cylinder base 22 through bolts, and the cylinder base 22 is fixed to the device slider through bolts; the upper die plate 29 is installed in the guide rail 40, and then the guide rail 40 is connected to the upper base plate 23 through bolts, and the upper base plate 23 is fixed to the device slider through bolts; the tie rod 28 is connected to the tie rod base 39 through threads, and the tie rod base 39 is fixed to the device slider through bolts;

[0042] (2) Connect the lower die 33, the lower round die 34, the guide die 35, the pressing plate 26 and the lower bottom plate 27 together by bolts, and connect the lower bottom plate 27 to the equipment workbench by bolts; fix the material return beam 38 and the pull rod 28 together by nuts, and place the tail punch 37 on the material return beam 38;

[0043] (3) Before starting work, the cylinder 21 is in a retracted state, and then the workpiece is placed in the lower die 33 and positioned by the guide die 35;

[0044] (4) Start the cylinder switch and the cylinder 21 is pushed out. The cylinder 21 drives the upper mold plate 29, the upper mold base 30, and the upper punch 31 to move through the connecting rod 24. The upper mold plate 29 moves to the front end and stops when it contacts the limit block 25.

[0045] (5) The press switch is turned on, and the slide of the equipment moves downward, driving the upper punch 31 to move downward, and cooperate with the top punch 36 and the tail punch 37 to extrude the workpiece so that the workpiece is formed in the lower die 33;

[0046] (6) After forming, the equipment slider moves upward, driving the pull rod 28 and the material return beam 38 upward together. After moving upward for a certain distance, the material return beam 38 contacts the tail punch 37 and drives the ejection punch 36 upward to eject the workpiece;

[0047] (7) After the equipment slider returns to the position, the displacement sensor transmits a signal to the cylinder 21 to return. The cylinder 21 drives the upper mold plate 29, the upper mold base 30, and the upper punch 31 to move backward through the connecting rod 24. After the upper punch 31 moves, the material removal position is vacated for easy material removal. At this point, the final forging is completed and the final result is as follows Figure 5 The high upset ratio bolt shown.
