Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0020] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 2 - attached Figure 8 , to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention, not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present invention to obtain other embodiments without creative labor, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] The inventors of this application found that the traditional processing technology of the bearing inner ring is usually directly processed into a ring shape and then subjected to cutting processing. This processing technology has slow processing efficiency and low utilization of raw materials, greatly increasing the product manufacturing cycle and production cost. For this reason, this application discloses an improved forging processing technology and processing equipment for the bearing inner ring, mainly adopting the following solutions: Embodiment 1 Embodiment 1 of this application discloses an improved forging processing technology for the bearing inner ring. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , including the following steps: Step 1. Blank preparation The blank selects round steel with a diameter of 90 mm, and the material is G20CrNi2MoA, which is obtained by sawing or hot shearing. When blanking, it is necessary to ensure that the shape and size of the blank meet the requirements and conduct quality inspection through detection equipment.

[0022] Step 2. Upsetting Heat the blank to the plastic deformation temperature, which is usually 1150°C - 1250°C, and then upset the blank to make the middle section of the blank bulge outwards with a certain arc, facilitating the positioning and deformation of the blank in the subsequent workstations.

[0023] Step 3. Reverse extrusion forming By setting a special punch and die, reverse extrusion is performed on the upset blank to make the blank deform. At the same time, through the restriction of the punch and the die, the blank flows and deforms in a predetermined direction to form a preliminary shape close to the finished product. After the blank is formed by reverse extrusion, the side wall of the blank is L-shaped, the top end of the blank is a large end face, the bottom end is a small end face, a blind hole is formed in the middle of the top end of the blank, and a conical surface with a certain angle and depth is formed at the junction of the blind hole and the top end of the blank. The depth of the conical surface is about 15 mm, and the angle is about 20°.

[0024] Step 4. Punching After the blank is formed by reverse extrusion, punch the blank through the punch. The punch is inserted into the blind hole in the middle of the blank to punch through the blind hole on the blank.

[0025] Step 5. Flattening After the blank is punched, the top end and the conical surface of the blank are extruded to refine the shapes of the top end and the conical surface of the blank, so that both the top end and the conical surface of the blank meet the process requirements, which helps to reduce the workload of subsequent turning processing; after the flatness is completed, the top end of the blank is flush, and the final forming angle of the conical surface is between 15° and 25°, and the depth is between 13 mm and 15 mm.

[0026] Step 6, reaming Place the blank into the reaming equipment, and use the mandrel to roll-expand the inner hole and the conical surface of the blank, so that the inner hole and the conical surface of the blank meet the process requirements; the side wall of the mandrel is provided with a conical end surface matching the conical surface, so as to perform profiling roll-expansion on the conical surface. The front end of the mandrel has a taper, the angle is generally between 25° and 45°, the height is between 10 mm and 20 mm, and its top end needs to maintain a sharp angle to control the generation of defects.

[0027] Step 7, finish machining Perform finish machining on the whole blank and precisely control the shapes and sizes of all positions of the blank to obtain the final forging. The finish machining includes a lathe and a grinding machine. The lathe is used to machine the outer diameter and inner diameter of the blank, and the grinding machine is used to machine the surface finish of the blank.

[0028] The implementation principle of the improved bearing inner ring forging process in Embodiment 1 of the present application is as follows: by optimizing the processing technology, the material utilization rate of the bearing inner ring is improved, and the time of subsequent processing procedures is reduced, thereby shortening the manufacturing cycle. Specifically, by upsetting the blank, the middle section of the blank bulges out a certain arc, which is convenient for the subsequent positioning and deformation of the blank; by using a special punch and die to perform backward extrusion processing on the blank, the blank forms a preliminary shape close to the finished product, and then through the punching and flatness steps, the shape of the blank is further refined, which helps to reduce the workload of subsequent turning processing. Finally, through reaming and finish machining, the final forging is obtained. The whole process is formed by step-by-step forging, which simplifies the processing steps, improves the processing efficiency, and at the same time avoids material waste, achieving the goals of high quality, low cost and short delivery time.

[0029] The process after the above optimization and adjustment can be used to process the bearing inner rings of heavy-duty trucks, the material utilization rate of the forgings is increased by 77%, leading the industry by 10%. Compared with before optimization, 0.63 kg of materials can be saved for each bearing inner ring, and this alone can save millions of yuan of raw material costs for the enterprise annually.

[0030] Embodiment 2 Embodiment 2 of the present application discloses an improved bearing inner ring forging processing equipment. Refer to Figure 4, including a lower template 1, an upper template 2 and a press 3. The press 3 is used to drive the upper template 2 to slide in the vertical direction. A upsetting station 11, a backward extrusion station 12 and a punching station 13 are respectively arranged on the lower template 1. Specifically, a lower upsetting table 14 is arranged at the upsetting station 11 of the lower template 1, and an upper upsetting table 21 is installed on the upper template 2. The upper upsetting table 21 corresponds to the lower upsetting table 14 in position, and the top wall of the lower upsetting table 14 and the bottom wall of the upper upsetting table 21 are both horizontally arranged. Place the blank on the lower upsetting table 14, drive the upper template 2 to move down by the press 3, drive the upper upsetting table 21 to move down, and the upper upsetting table 21 and the lower upsetting table 14 respectively extrude the upper and lower ends of the blank, so that the middle section of the blank bulges outwards by a certain arc, and the upsetting of the blank is completed.

[0031] Refer to Figure 4 , a base 15 is placed at the upsetting station 11 of the lower template 1. A receiving groove is opened at the top end of the base 15. The lower upsetting table 14 is adapted to the receiving groove, and the lower upsetting table 14 is placed in the receiving groove. A backing plate is arranged between the bottom wall of the lower upsetting table 14 and the receiving groove, and the upper upsetting table 21 is fixed on the upper template 2 by bolts. With this design, it is convenient to maintain and replace the lower upsetting table 14 and the upper upsetting table 21.

[0032] Refer to Figure 4 , 5 , a forming die 16 is arranged at the backward extrusion station 12 of the lower template 1. A forming connection seat 22 is installed and fixed on the upper template 2 by bolts. The length direction of the forming connection seat 22 is vertical. A forming punch 23 is installed at the bottom end of the forming connection seat 22. The forming punch 23 is fixed to the forming connection seat 22 by bolts. The forming punch 23 corresponds to the forming die 16 in position, and the length direction of the forming punch 23 is vertical.

[0033] Refer to Figure 5 , specifically, the forming die 16 includes an outer die 161 and an inner die 162. A bottom bearing platform 17 is arranged at the backward extrusion station 12 of the lower template 1. An installation groove is opened at the top end of the bottom bearing platform 17. The outer die 161 plate is adapted to the installation groove, and the outer die 161 plate is placed in the installation groove. The inner die 162 is adapted to the outer die 161. A convex portion is arranged on the side wall of the inner die 162. A groove is opened at the bottom end of the outer die 161 along the axial direction of the outer die 161. The groove is adapted to the convex portion. The inner diameter of the inner die 162 plate gradually decreases along the direction close to the bottom bearing platform 17. With this design, it is convenient to maintain and replace the forming die 16. At the same time, the combined design of the outer die 161 and the inner die 162 can accurately constrain the deformation direction of the blank, improve the forming accuracy of the forging, and simplify the subsequent processing procedures.

[0034] Refer to Figure 5, a washer 163 is further arranged inside the outer mold 161. The washer 163 is arranged at the bottom of the inner mold 162 and abuts against the lower side wall of the installation groove. A central hole is formed in the bottom bearing platform 17, and the central hole is communicated with the installation groove. A bottom iron 171 is placed in the central hole. The bottom iron 171 penetrates through the washer 163 and the inner mold 162 and is adapted to the inner mold 162. A backing plate is also arranged below the bottom iron 171. Through the arrangements of the washer 163 and the bottom iron 171, the inner mold 162 can be effectively supported and the pressure can be evenly distributed, preventing the mold from being damaged due to excessive pressure during the backward extrusion process. In addition, the design that the bottom iron 171 is adapted to the forming die 16 ensures that the flow direction and forming effect of the metal material during the backward extrusion process of the blank are more precisely controllable, further improving the quality and consistency of the forging.

[0035] Refer to Figure 5 , 6 , specifically, the forming punch 23 includes an installation section 231, a connection section 232 and a stamping section 233. The installation section 231 abuts against the bottom end of the forming connection seat 22 and is fixed to the forming connection seat 22. The connection section 232 is arranged between the installation section 231 and the stamping section 233. A conical connection surface 234 is arranged at the connection between the connection section 232 and the stamping section 233. The diameter of the stamping section 233 gradually decreases along the direction away from the connection section 232. The conical connection surface 234 between the connection section 232 and the stamping section 233 can form a conical surface with a certain angle and depth on the blank, thereby improving the shape accuracy of the forging. The design that the diameter of the stamping section 233 gradually decreases helps the metal material to flow evenly during the forming process and reduces the generation of defects.

[0036] Refer to Figure 6 , an arc surface 235 is arranged at the bottom end of the stamping section 233, and an arc chamfer is arranged at the junction of the arc surface 235 and the side wall of the forming punch 23. The arc surface 235 arranged at the bottom end of the stamping section 233 can make the inner hole edge of the blank smoother during the backward extrusion process, reduce stress concentration, and thus improve the forming quality of the forging. The arc chamfer arranged at the junction of the arc surface 235 and the side wall of the forming punch 23 further optimizes the flow performance of the metal material, avoids cracks or defects at the sharp corner parts, and ensures the uniformity and integrity of the internal structure of the forging.

[0037] Refer to Figure 5A cap 24 is slidably sleeved on the forming connection seat 22, and a crimping portion 241 is arranged inside the cap 24. The crimping portion 241 is integrally formed with the cap 24 and is located below the mounting section 231 of the forming punch 23. A forming unloading plate 242 is fixedly connected to the cap 24 by bolts below the cap 24. The forming unloading plate 242 is slidably sleeved on the connecting section 232 of the forming punch 23 and is adapted to the connecting section 232 of the forming punch 23. A unloading spring 25 is arranged on the upper template 2. The unloading spring 25 are connected to the cap 24 and the upper template 2 respectively; when the forming punch 23 is in the process of reverse extrusion of the blank, the elastic stripper plate abuts against the top of the blank, and the elastic stripper plate slides on the forming punch 23, and compresses the stripper spring 25. When the crimping portion 241 of the cap 24 abuts against the bottom end of the mounting section 231 of the forming punch 23, the forming stripper plate 242 stops sliding, limits the top of the blank, controls the deformation direction of the top of the blank, and improves the accuracy of the reverse extrusion deformation of the blank. After the reverse extrusion molding of the blank is completed, the forming punch 23 moves up. At this time, the forming stripper plate 242 presses the top of the blank under the elastic force of the stripper spring 25. At the same time, the forming stripper plate 242 and the forming punch 23 slide relative to each other, so that the forming punch 23 can be separated from the blank, which improves the convenience of use.

[0038] Reference Figure 7 The punching station 13 of the lower template 1 is equipped with a punching die 18, and a perforated connection seat 26 is fixed on the upper template 2 by bolts. The length direction of the perforated connection seat 26 is vertical, and a perforated punch 27 is fixed to the bottom of the perforated connection seat 26 by bolts. The length direction of the perforated punch 27 is vertical, and the perforated punch 27 and the flat discharge plate 28 are both in position corresponding to the punching die 18; specifically, a support seat 19 is provided at the punching station 13 of the lower template 1, and the punching die 18 is fixed to the top of the support seat 19 by bolts. A through hole is provided in the middle of the punching die 18, and a discharge hole is provided on the support seat 19. The discharge hole corresponds to the position of the through hole and is connected to each other. Put the blank into the perforated die, drive the upper template 2 to move down by the press 3, drive the perforated punch 27 to move down, and insert the perforated punch 27 into the blind hole in the middle of the blank to punch the blind hole on the blank.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 , 8, a flat high blanking plate 28 is also slidably sleeved on the perforating connecting seat 26. The flat high blanking plate 28 is horizontally arranged. A convex platform 281 is arranged at the bottom end of the flat high blanking plate 28, and the side wall of the convex platform 281 has a certain taper. An adjusting screw rod 29 is rotatably arranged on the upper template 2. The length direction of the adjusting screw rod is vertical. A screw sleeve 282 is fixedly arranged on the flat high blanking plate 28. The adjusting screw rod is inserted into the screw sleeve 282 and is in threaded cooperation with the screw sleeve 282. After the perforating punch 27 punches the blank, the upper template 2 continues to slide downwards, so that the flat high blanking plate 28 abuts against the top end of the blank. The shape of the top end of the blank is refined by the flat high blanking plate 28, and the shape of the conical surface of the blank is refined by the convex platform 281, so that both the top end and the conical surface of the blank meet the process requirements. And the flat high blanking plate 28 is slidably sleeved on the perforating connecting seat 26 and its sliding is restricted by the adjusting screw rod 29, thereby realizing the precise control of the position of the flat high blanking plate 28 and improving the forming precision of the forging.

Specifically, the lower upsetting table 14 at the upsetting station 11 cooperates with the upper upsetting table 21 to make the middle section of the blank bulge outwards with a certain arc, which is convenient for subsequent positioning and deformation; at the backward extrusion station 12, the forming die 16 and the forming punch 23 cooperate with each other to make the side wall of the blank in an L shape, a blind hole is formed in the middle, and a conical surface with a certain angle and depth is formed at the junction of the blind hole and the top end, effectively improving the material utilization rate and the forming precision; at the punching station 13, the perforating female die and the perforating punch 27 cooperate to punch through the blind hole and further refine the shape of the blank. The flat high blanking plate 28 is horizontally arranged and has a convex platform 281 with a taper at the bottom end, which can extrude the top of the blank after punching and refine the shapes of the top end and the conical surface to ensure that the process requirements are met.
