The folding machine shaft manufacturing method of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0051] S1, providing a blank, which has a forming blank 2 for forming a shaft and an auxiliary blank 1 connected to both sides of the forming blank 2, and the forming blank 2 is processed with an outer side surface 26 consistent with the product shape.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the S1 step: can be formed by aluminum extrusion material blank, but also by die casting, cutting and other ways to form a blank. The blank has a forming blank 2 for forming a shaft and an auxiliary blank 1 connected to both sides of the forming blank 2, the blank has a first side 11 and a second side 12 opposite the first side 11, that is, the forming blank 2 and the auxiliary blank 1 both have a first side 11 and an opposite second side 12, the first side 11 and the second side 12 are distributed along the thickness direction. The embodiment shown is symmetrical to the axis of the forming blank 2, the auxiliary blank 1 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the forming blank 2 along the width direction, the second side 12 of the forming blank 2 protrudes from the second side 12 of the auxiliary blank 1, and the first side 11 of the forming blank 2 and the first side 11 of the auxiliary blank 1 are in the same plane and flush, thereby defining the cross section of the forming blank 2 and the auxiliary blank 1 in T shape.

[0053] In this step, the forming blank 2 is located at the middle position of the auxiliary blank 1 along the width direction, and the length direction of the forming blank 2 and the auxiliary blank 1 is consistent and distributed along the length direction. The outer side 26 of the forming blank 2 has an outer side 26 consistent with the outer side 26 of the product, the overall cross section of the forming blank 2 is U-shaped, and the thickness of the forming blank 2 is longer than the outer side 26 in the thickness direction relative to the thickness of the product shape, so as to facilitate subsequent processing. The auxiliary blank 1 is a cuboid structure, so it has four corners, four sides and two sides.

[0054] S2, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 Take the auxiliary blank 1 as auxiliary positioning, process the groove 23 at the forming blank 2 to form a shaft rough blank.

[0055] The S2 step includes the following sub-steps:

[0056] S21, a first reference surface 13 is processed on the first side 11 where the auxiliary blank 1 and the forming blank 2 are flush, and a positioning structure penetrating the auxiliary blank 1 along the thickness direction is processed at the position corresponding to the two auxiliary blanks 1 on the first reference surface 13.

[0057] In the embodiment, the first reference surface 13 is a horizontal surface parallel to the width direction and the length direction, and the four corners of the first reference surface 13 are provided with L-shaped notches, which are formed by avoiding machining the four corners of the first side surface 11, so that the first side surface 11 forms a rectangular first height-limiting platform at the four corners of the first reference surface 13, so as to increase wear and reduce burr formation when the first side surface 11 faces downward to the clamp device for fixing the blank. The first reference surface 13 is formed after machining the part of the first side surface 11 except the four first height-limiting platforms, and therefore, the first reference surface 13 has two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides, a height-limiting strip 161 is provided on the two long sides, the height of the height-limiting strip 161 is consistent with the height of the first height-limiting platform, and the height-limiting strip 161 is formed by avoiding machining the corresponding shape of the first side surface 11 on the first reference surface 13. The height-limiting strip 161 has a square strip structure, and the first side surface 11 avoids the square strip to form the first reference surface 13, thereby forming the height-limiting strip 161. The height-limiting strip 161 has the same effect as the first limiting platform, which can better support the auxiliary blank 1 when the clamp device clamps the auxiliary blank 1, thereby preventing the auxiliary blank 1 from being bent and the like.

The four corners of the second side surface 12 are removed along the thickness direction to basically determine the positions of the two ends of the product and the overall length, and the subsequent inner side surface 25 is machined based on this. The first height-limiting platform is removed in this machining process. The two second positioning holes 15 are opened in this step, and the two second positioning holes 15 are distributed at the two diagonal corner positions of the auxiliary blank 1, so as to facilitate subsequent machining.

The second height-limiting platform 162 is formed by avoiding machining the second side surface 12 of the auxiliary blank 1, so as to facilitate the clamp device to directly contact the second reference surface 17 when fixing the blank.

[0059] The partition groove 21 is arranged on each of the two long side edges of the outer side 26 in the width direction, and the two partition grooves 21 are arranged on the two side edges of the profiled blank 2 in the width direction, which can be machined by the CNC machining equipment from the two sides of the profiled blank 2 in the width direction to the one side of the profiled blank 2, and the position of the partition groove 21 corresponds to the side edge where the outer side 26 and the inner side 25 of the product are connected, so as to facilitate the subsequent machining of the inner side 25 and the machining based on the partition groove 21 during blanking to complete the separation blanking.

[0060] S22, please refer to Figure 7 The recess 23 is machined from the first reference surface 13 of the profiled blank 2 by using the positioning structure as auxiliary positioning, and the recess 23 has a first machining surface 29 distributed away from the first reference surface 13 in the thickness direction and two second machining surfaces 231 oppositely arranged in the width direction, so as to form a shaft rough blank.

[0061] In the S22 step, the U-shaped hanger groove 18 is arranged on the back of the two auxiliary blanks 1, and the two hanger grooves 18 penetrate in the thickness direction. Among them, the U-shaped hanger groove 18 is arranged on the two long side edges of the two auxiliary blanks 1 away from each other, and the two hanger grooves 18 penetrate in the thickness direction and penetrate backward in the width direction to form an open groove, and the two hanger grooves 18 are distributed in a staggered manner to provide a hanging position during anodic oxidation, so as to facilitate the use of the hanger. It should be noted that the hanger groove 18 and each second height limiting platform 162 are distributed in a staggered manner and do not interfere with each other.

[0062] In this step, the recess 23 is machined from the first reference surface 13 of the profiled blank 2 to the second side 12 side in the thickness direction, the recess 23 is overall in the shape of a cuboid, the side of the recess 23 close to the second side 12 is the first machining surface 29, and the first machining surface 29 is parallel to the first reference surface 13. The two second machining surfaces 231 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first machining surface 29, and the recess 23 penetrates the profiled blank 2 in the length direction, so as to facilitate the machining of the inner side 25. In order to facilitate subsequent machining, a slot is machined on the first reference surface 13 of the two auxiliary blanks 1 and on the side of the recess 23 away from the second side 12 in the thickness direction, so as to form an L-shaped step groove 232 on the auxiliary blank 1, the step groove 232 penetrates the first reference surface 13 in the thickness direction, and the step groove 232 penetrates the auxiliary blank 1 in the length direction, and the step groove 232 also penetrates the second machining surface 231 inward in the width direction to communicate with the recess 23, and the step groove 232 is used to reduce the depth of the recess 23, so as to facilitate subsequent machining.

The end block 28 is in the shape of a cuboid and the length is arranged along the width direction (the width direction of the blank). Then the end block 28 is machined: first, the top surface (the side surface to the first reference surface 13) of the end block 28 is machined, and the first avoiding groove 281 is opened in the middle of the top surface of the end block 28 along the thickness direction, the first avoiding groove 281 is opened along the length of the end block 28, then the two ends of the first avoiding groove 281 are machined to form arc-shaped end surfaces, and then the two end blocks 28 are machined to form a first side groove 282 in the shape of T on the side which is outward along the length direction relative to the first avoiding groove 281, and the corners of the first side groove 282 are all rounded. The second side groove 283 in the shape of arc is machined on the side which is inward along the length direction relative to the first avoiding groove 281, and the second side groove 283 is machined to the first machined surface 29 and then is machined to a certain depth.
