Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical processing, and in particular relates to a rolling forming device and method for a large-module standard spur gear. Background Art

[0002] As a basic part for transmitting power and motion, cylindrical gears are widely used in the industrial field. In industrial production, gears with a modulus greater than 10mm are generally called large modulus gears. Because they are usually large in overall size, good in mechanical properties, and high in reliability, they have significant advantages in withstanding high loads and impacts, and can work stably in complex and harsh environments. Therefore, they are widely used in large lifting machinery, ship transportation, geological exploration, military equipment and other fields.

[0003] Due to the characteristics of heavy industrial equipment, large modulus gears generally have higher requirements for dimensional accuracy, surface quality, service life and mechanical properties. Compared with ordinary gears, the biggest feature of large modulus gear forming is that the gear volume is large and the pitch circle diameter is large, so the processing deformation is large, which easily leads to excessive forming load; at the same time, the large radial size easily leads to the overall size of the forming equipment, and the forming process is difficult to control; and the forming stability is difficult to ensure and the dimensional accuracy is low. Difficulties need to be solved urgently; therefore, how to reduce the forming force as much as possible while ensuring that the forming quality meets the service requirements, and at the same time, how to improve the forming stability as much as possible while keeping the process controllable has become the main problem faced by large modulus gear forming.

[0004] At present, the production of cylindrical gears generally adopts traditional cutting methods, such as hobbing, shaving, and shaping. These methods have low material utilization, low production efficiency, and high processing costs. In particular, the mechanical properties and service life of the gears are reduced due to the cutting of metal flow lines during the processing. For the closed precision forging process widely used for processing smaller parts, considering factors such as forming equipment and forming force, large modulus gears will further increase the forming force due to their larger volume, reducing the service life of the mold.

[0005] The local plastic forming process is a special continuous local metal forming process, which is mainly used to produce components with specific geometric shapes and mechanical properties. This process uses local loading to cause the material to undergo plastic deformation in a specific area, thereby forming the desired shape and structure. The local plastic forming method is easy to control the forming process and forming force, which can make up for the above-mentioned shortcomings of large modulus gear forming and is of great significance to the development of gear forming technology. It can be specifically divided into gear local extrusion and gear rolling processes.

[0006] The local extrusion process of gears is to apply pressure locally on the gear blank and form the gear through a die with a tooth shape, but it has defects such as high forming force and streamline folding.

[0007] The Chinese patent with publication number CN202010933525.6 proposes a process for forming a gear ring by extruding a multi-directional forging hammer and a core die. The forming force is reduced by multiple extrusions, but the gear sleeve is prone to plastic deformation due to multiple contractions and expansions, which affects the quality and has low forming accuracy. The gear extrusion process proposed by the Chinese patent with publication number CN1644266A requires additional customization of corresponding toothed rollers to ensure the integrity of the gear profile for gears with a large number of teeth that cannot be divided evenly. It is difficult to install, prone to flash and folding, and is not suitable for forming larger gears.

[0008] The gear rolling forming process uses a toothed hob or roller to roll the gear blank. The gear is gradually formed by multiple local pressure deformations of the metal. Currently, the rolling process is generally suitable for the production of small and medium modulus gears and toothed parts, most of which are hot rolled.

[0009] The Chinese patents with publication numbers CN115971382A and CN107695263A are both longitudinal rolling processes. For large-module gears, due to the large pitch circle diameter, the above-mentioned rolling forming process is highly dependent on equipment accuracy, which is prone to meshing deviation and affects the forming accuracy. It is not suitable for large-module gear forming.

[0010] Chinese patents with publication numbers CN205165687, CN101927309A, CN102294419A, CN107695263A, and CN104438993B all use transverse rolling methods to achieve rolling forming or improve rolling processes with different technical means. However, insufficient positioning accuracy may occur during the rolling process, resulting in "pulling" of the tooth tips, poor stability, and poor high-precision processing effects. In addition, they are not suitable for cemented carbide forming, the mold is easily worn, and the cost of use is high. Therefore, for high-precision and high-hardness gear rolling forming, similar methods are difficult to achieve the expected results.

[0011] Chinese patents with publication numbers CN106493273B, CN113210551A, and CN206046960U and U.S. patent publication number US20070068211A1 have improved the rolling forming stability of the equipment to a certain extent through numerical control or mold design optimization. However, for large-module gears, this will cause the forming equipment to be too large, reduce the stability of the equipment, and make installation and debugging difficult and the maintenance cost high. Therefore, it is also not suitable for large-module gear forming.

[0012] A Chinese patent with publication number CN118253676A proposes a ring forging rolling forming process, which rolls out the required structure of the inner surface of the forging by designing a core roller with a special-shaped structure. The outer surface of the forging is always a cylindrical surface. However, since the forming of the external cylindrical gear occurs on the outer surface of the blank, this method cannot be applied to the forming of external gears.

[0013] The Chinese patent with publication number CN116809831A proposes a bevel gear ring rolling forming process, in which the mandrel is placed in a ring-shaped blank, the main roller rotates to drive the blank to rotate, and the mandrel moves radially to form the ring, thereby obtaining a finished bevel gear. This method uses the ring rolling process to reduce the forming force, but for large-module gears, the blank needs to mesh with the main roller multiple times, which is prone to "pulling" of the tooth tip; and most of the blank is exposed to the air during the high-temperature process, which is prone to produce severe oxide scale, reducing material utilization and affecting the forming quality. Therefore, for large-module gears, if approximate ring rolling forming is used, the process still needs to be further improved.

[0014] For the forming of large-module standard spur gears, not only a reasonable metal streamline distribution is required to ensure the mechanical properties of the gears, but also a stable low-load state must be achieved during the forming process to reduce gear stress, die wear and large-scale production costs. At the same time, high precision and high stability must be pursued during the forming process to meet specific shape, strength and reliability requirements. However, this aspect has not been involved in existing work. Summary of the invention

[0015] The purpose of the present invention is to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rolling forming device and method for large-module standard spur gears with stable process forming, complete preservation of metal streamlines, high material utilization rate, and high gear product precision.

A hydraulic cylinder is provided on the support seat. A positioning plate is fixedly provided on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder to prevent the fixed outer mold from rising and misalignment. The bottom surface of the positioning plate is 2 to 4 mm away from the axial upper surface of the fixed outer mold. There is a gap between the inner curved surface of the electromagnetic induction coil and the fixed outer mold, and the electromagnetic induction coil is fixed to the support seat by a connecting piece.

[0017] Furthermore, the extrusion platform is provided with a pair of connecting bosses, and the bottom surfaces of the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate are respectively provided with two grooves for slidingly connecting with the bosses, so as to facilitate the clamping and positioning of the extrusion base by the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate.

[0018] Furthermore, semicircular grooves are provided at the centers of the surfaces of the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate to reserve space for the first extrusion punch and the second pressing punch to rotate.

[0019] Furthermore, the positioning base is a 3 / 4 cylinder, and a 1 / 4 gap is opened on the side close to the driving wheel to reserve space for the rotation of the driving wheel.

[0020] Furthermore, a plurality of balls are arranged on the contact surface between the positioning base and the axial bottom of the fixed outer mold to reduce the friction force on the fixed outer mold during rotation.

[0021] Furthermore, the gear mold is composed of four identical gear sub-molds, which are connected and fixed by four positioning pins at the top and bottom. The outer surface of the gear mold and the inner surface of the fixed outer mold are in an interference fit with an angle, and the fit slope is 1° to 2°.

[0022] The present invention also provides a rolling forming method for a large-module standard spur gear, the specific steps of which are as follows: Step 1: Select a blank and determine the size according to the target gear, cut and uncut the blank on a band saw to obtain a ring column blank, and use an acetylene flame to heat the ring column blank to 800-1000° C. to reduce deformation resistance; Step 2: Install the ring column blank in the gear mold, adjust the position with the positioning pin, preheat the gear mold to 300-500°C, and then install the gear mold into the fixed outer mold. The inner diameter of the fixed outer mold is tapered and matches the outer diameter of the gear mold. Step 3: Place the fixed outer die axially and horizontally on the extrusion base, and fix the extrusion base by the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate. Preheat the first extrusion punch and the second extrusion punch of the extrusion punch device to 300-500° C. with an acetylene flame, and then drive the first extrusion punch and the second extrusion punch to axially extrude the ring column blank towards each other by two hydraulic devices respectively and simultaneously, and the extrusion stroke does not exceed 1 / 4 of the height of the ring column blank. Step 4: withdraw the first extrusion punch and the second extrusion punch together with the fixed outer die from the extrusion device and place them in the rolling forming device.

[0023] Furthermore, in step one, the outer diameter of the ring column blank is 1 to 2 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the gear mold.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The process of the present invention can significantly reduce the forming load required in the forming process. The blank is gradually rolled using a similar ring rolling process, so that the blank is in a local plastic deformation that changes all the time. The forming is continuous and progressive. At the same time, the loading speed can be adjusted at all times according to the deformation situation, avoiding the situation where the gear forming process has a large load and excessive wear on the mold. Therefore, it is also applicable to high-hardness alloy materials, with little damage to the mold and a long mold life.

[0027] 2. The process of the present invention has good forming stability, and the gear products produced have high precision. The axial pressure on the blank is helpful for positioning in the initial forming stage. The gradual expansion of the rolling core roller inside can effectively maintain stable contact between the mold tooth shape and the blank, which can effectively avoid the "pulling" of the tooth tip caused by insufficient positioning accuracy during rolling. The forming stability is good and the gear precision is high.

[0028] 3. The process of the present invention is still applicable to the forming of large-module gears. The large gear size will not cause the size of the forming equipment to increase several times, affecting the forming efficiency and stability. The equipment has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The forming process is simple, there is no burr, the metal streamline is intact, the material utilization rate is high, and the mechanical properties of the formed gear are good.
