[0010] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3The outer structure of the chassis connecting fixing pin for new energy vehicles includes an upper cylindrical rod body 61 and a lower cylindrical rod body 62 with the same center line, a middle flange located between the upper cylindrical rod body 61 and the lower cylindrical rod body 62, and a flange head 63 at the bottom end. The distance L1 from the top surface of the middle flange to the bottom surface of the flange head is basically consistent with the length L2 of the upper cylindrical rod body. The thickness T1 of the middle flange is slightly thinner than the thickness of the bottom end flange head T2. The thickness of the middle flange is 10-20% of the length of the upper cylindrical rod body. The diameters of the upper cylindrical rod body 61 and the lower cylindrical rod body 62 are consistent. The top end of the upper cylindrical rod body 61 has an arc-shaped transition top end 611. The middle flange includes a flange plate 641 and a circular arc transition section 64 at its lower end. 2. The diameter of the flange 641 is 2.6-3.3 times the diameter of the lower cylindrical shaft 62, and the diameter of the bottom flange head 63 is 1.25-1.45 times the diameter of the lower cylindrical shaft 62. The upper end of the lower cylindrical shaft 62 has an arc transition 621 connected to the arc transition section 642. The upper part of the lower cylindrical shaft 62 is adjacent to the middle flange and is provided with six ribs 65. The length of the rib 65 is 50-75% of the diameter of the lower cylindrical shaft. It extends downward from the bottom end of the arc transition section 641. The six ribs 65 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The distance from the protruding vertex 651 of the rib 65 to the center line of the lower cylindrical shaft 62 is 0.9-1.1 times the radius of the bottom flange head 63.
[0011] The cold heading manufacturing method comprises the following steps: (1) Feeding the round disc into a cold heading machine and automatically cutting it into a single raw material piece 10 for connecting and fixing the chassis of a new energy vehicle, wherein the diameter of the round disc is consistent with the diameter of the bottom flange head 63, and the length of the raw material piece 10 is shorter than the length of the connecting and fixing pin 6 of the chassis of the new energy vehicle; (2) The raw material is transferred to the No. 1 mold port of the cold heading machine, and is cold headed in the No. 1 mold so that the front end face and the rear end face of the No. 1 molded product 1 are flattened and the ends are both headed with guide angles 11 and 12.
[0012] (3) The molded product 1 is translated to the mouth of the mold No. 2, and is cold-forged in the mold No. 2, so that the rear portion 22 of the molded product 2 is bounded, the diameter of the rear bounded rod is consistent with the diameter of the lower cylindrical rod body 62, the length of the bounded rod is consistent with the length of the lower cylindrical rod body, and the rear portion 22 of the bounded rod and the portion 21 not bounded are transitioned through the first arc surface transition section 23.
[0013] (4) The molded product 2 is moved horizontally to the mouth of the mold 3 and cold-forged in the mold 3 so that the front portion 31 of the molded product 3 is bound. The diameter of the front bound portion is consistent with the diameter of the upper cylindrical rod 61 and the length is slightly shorter than the upper cylindrical rod. The front portion 31 of the bound rod and the portion 32 not bound are transitioned through the second arc surface transition section 33. The total length of the front portion 31 of the bound rod and the second arc surface transition section 33 is consistent with the length of the upper cylindrical rod. The metal amount of this part does not need to be involved in the forming of the middle flange, which helps to reduce the difficulty of cold forging and the forming quality, and improve the concentricity of the upper cylindrical rod 61 and the lower cylindrical rod 62. The rear portion 22 of the bound rod and the first arc surface transition section 23 remain unchanged, with only a slight difference caused by the die.
[0014] (5) The molded product 3 is translated to the mouth of the mold No. 4 and manufactured by cold heading in the mold No. 4. The upper and middle parts of the unbound rod portion 32 of the molded product 3 are forged into the front shape 41 of the middle flange. The diameter of the front shape 41 is smaller than the diameter of the flange 641 and the thickness is thicker than the middle flange. The metal amount of the front shape 4 is used to form the middle flange. The lower part 42 of the unbound rod portion of the molded product 3 is not cold headed in the mold No. 4. The part of its diameter exceeding the rear part 21 of the bound rod will be used in the subsequent cold heading to form the six ribs 65 and the arc-shaped transition 621 at the upper end of the lower cylindrical rod 62, which can reduce the subsequent metal transfer distance, reduce the difficulty of cold heading and improve the forming quality, as well as improve the concentricity of the upper cylindrical rod 61 and the lower cylindrical rod 62. The front portion 31 of the restrained rod and the second arcuate transition section 33 are formed into the upper cylindrical shaft 61 and its corresponding arcuate transition tip 611. Subsequent die-casting only produces minor variations, which can continuously improve surface quality. The rear portion 22 of the restrained rod and the first arcuate transition section 23 remain unchanged, with only minor variations caused by die-casting. This produces the fourth molded product 4.
[0015] (6) The molded product 4 is translated to the mouth of the mold No. 5, and is cold-forged in the mold No. 5, so that the front shape 41 of the middle flange of the molded product 4 is forged out of the middle flange, and the middle flange includes a flange plate 641 and an arc-shaped transition section 642 at its lower portion. The unbound rod portion 42 and the first arc-shaped transition section 23 are forged out of the six ribs 65 and the arc-shaped transition 621 at the upper end of the lower cylindrical rod 62 connected with the arc-shaped transition section 642, and the upper portion 622 of the lower cylindrical rod on which the six ribs 64 are based, thereby forming the front shape 51 of the lower cylindrical rod. The diameter of the front shape is consistent with the diameter of the lower cylindrical rod 62, and the length is longer than the lower cylindrical rod 62. The metal amount of the lower end exceeding the length of the lower cylindrical rod 62 is used to form the bottom flange head 63, so as to make the molded product 5 No. 5.
[0016] (7) The finished product 5 of the No. 5 mold is translated to the mouth of the No. 6 mold. After cold heading in the No. 6 mold, the bottom flange head 63 is formed on the lower end of the front shape 51 of the lower cylindrical rod body, and the lower cylindrical rod body 62 is formed at the same time. The other parts of the No. 5 mold product are only slightly different from those produced by the sleeve mold, and the chassis connecting fixing pin 6 for new energy vehicles is made. The main mold of the No. 6 mold is a three-piece mold 101 along the circumferential direction. A compression spring is set between the two adjacent molds 101. The mold core 103 of the main mold is an inverted cone. The outer peripheral surface of the three-piece mold 101 is an inverted cone that matches the inverted cone of the mold core 103; the three-piece mold 103 has an inwardly protruding fan-shaped segment 104 corresponding to the outer shape of the lower cylindrical rod body 62 and can form a hole that matches the lower cylindrical rod body 62. The rear end surface of the inwardly protruding fan-shaped segment 104 is aligned with the bottom The upper end surface of the end flange head 63 matches the shape of the rib 65, flange 641, arcuate transition section 642, and the arcuate transition section 621 at the upper end of the lower cylindrical shaft 62. A rear push tube 102 is positioned at the bottom of the main mold. A positioning triangular ridge 105 is provided at the front end of the rear push tube 102. The top edge of the positioning triangular ridge 105 aligns with the centerline, improving the stability of the push tube's motion when stamping the bottom end of the lower cylindrical shaft front form 51. This also enhances the concentricity of the upper and lower cylindrical shafts 61, 62. Reference numeral 106 in red in the figure denotes the front mold.

Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the field of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
