Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cutting and forging processing equipment, and in particular to a frequency forging device for forging automobile half shafts. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the half-shaft, as a crucial transmission component, has a significant impact on vehicle performance and production cycle due to its manufacturing quality and efficiency. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, higher demands are being placed on the manufacturing processes and equipment for automotive half-shafts. Efficient and precise half-shaft manufacturing technology can improve the overall performance and safety of vehicles, while also helping to reduce production costs and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, the development of automotive half-shaft manufacturing technology has always been a key focus of the automotive industry.

[0003] The traditional manufacturing process for automotive half-shafts typically involves several independent steps. First, cylindrical steel is cut to the required length; this process is usually performed separately using cutting equipment. After cutting, the steel is transferred to heating equipment, commonly using a conventional furnace. The heated steel is then transported to forging equipment for forging. The forging equipment applies pressure to the steel using a die, shaping it into the form of a half-shaft. Throughout this process, the various steps are relatively independent, requiring multiple transfers and operations, either manually or mechanically.

[0004] However, this traditional manufacturing method has significant drawbacks. Manufacturing automobile half-shafts requires heating the steel before transferring it to forging equipment, a cumbersome process. This not only increases production time and reduces efficiency but also risks affecting the uniformity of heating due to multiple transfers, thus impacting the forging quality of the half-shaft.

[0067] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 This application will be described in further detail. For ease of description, this application introduces directional terms such as first direction, second direction, and third direction to form a three-dimensional reference direction. The directional terms used, such as "first direction, second direction, and third direction", can be specifically referred to in the figure, where X represents the first direction, Y represents the second direction, and Z represents the third direction. The first direction, second direction, and third direction are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the second direction is the vertical direction.

[0068] This application discloses a frequency forging apparatus for forging automobile half-shafts. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frequency forging device for automobile half-shaft forging includes a heating forging device, which includes a first housing 1, a heating component 2, and two forging components 3. The first housing 1 is hollow. In a first direction, the two ends of the first housing 1 are provided with circular first material passage holes 11 that communicate with the inner cavity of the first housing 1. The first material passage holes 11 are used for steel to pass through in the first direction, so that both ends of the steel are located outside the first housing 1.

[0069] The heating component 2 is located inside the first housing 1. The heating component 2 includes a mounting bracket 21 and a medium-frequency furnace induction coil 22. The mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing 1. The medium-frequency furnace induction coil 22 is parallel to the first direction and coaxially arranged with the first material passage hole 11. The medium-frequency furnace induction coil 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 21. After the steel passes through the medium-frequency furnace induction coil 22 along the first direction, electricity is supplied to the medium-frequency furnace induction coil 22 to heat the steel. Based on the thermal conductivity of the steel, the entire steel will be heated as a whole.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the first direction, a forging assembly 3 is provided at each end of the first housing 1, and the two are symmetrical about a reference plane, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The two first material passage holes 11 at both ends of the first housing 1 are symmetrical about the reference plane. The forging assembly 3 includes a first support frame 31, a sliding seat 32, a sixth linear drive 33, a lifting rod 34, a seventh linear drive 35, and a forging mold 36 with a forging groove 361.

[0071] The first support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1; the sliding seat 32 is slidably connected to the first support frame 31 along the first direction. In order to drive the sliding seat 32 to slide, in this embodiment, the sixth linear drive member 33 is a jack, electric cylinder or linear motor or other structure used for linear drive, so as to drive the sliding seat 32 to move. This application does not make specific limitations; the sixth linear drive member 33 is connected between the sliding seat 32 and the first support frame 31 to drive the sliding seat 32 to slide along the first direction.

[0072] A clearance groove 311 is provided through the first support frame along the second direction. The lifting rod 34 passes through the clearance groove 311 along the first direction and is slidably connected to the sliding seat 32 along the second direction. The driving direction of the seventh linear drive member 35 is parallel to the second direction. The seventh linear drive member 35 is connected between the sliding seat 32 and the guide rod to drive the guide rod to move along the second direction. In this embodiment, the seventh linear drive member 35 is a jack, electric cylinder, or linear motor or other structure used for linear drive, with the aim of driving the guide rod to move. This application does not make any specific limitation.

[0073] The forging die 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting rod 34 so as to adjust with the lifting rod 34 between the clearance position and the forging position;

[0074] When the forging die 36 is in the clearance position, in the second direction, the forging die 36 is located to the side of the first material passage hole 11;

[0075] When the forging die 36 is in the forging position, in the first direction, the forging groove 361 on the forging die 36 is directly opposite to the first material hole 11 and is coaxial with the first material hole 11.

[0076] When forging is required, the steel is threaded through the induction coil 22 of the medium-frequency electric furnace. Then, the seventh linear drive 35 drives the forging die 36 to move downward, so that the forging die 36 moves from the clearance position to the forging position. Next, the sixth linear drive 33 drives the sliding seat 32 to move along the first direction, so that the end of the steel enters the forging groove 361 on the forging die 36. Under the collision and extrusion action of the forging die 36, the end of the steel can be deformed. In addition, between the extrusion and collision of the steel, the forging die 36 can move slowly along the first direction, so that the forging die 36 pushes the steel to the working position.

[0077] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the forging process, in order to ensure that the end of the steel is deformed to the required shape, some embodiments of this application also include a second support frame 12 and two clamping components 4. In the first direction, the clamping components 4 are located between the first housing 1 and the forging component 3, and the two clamping components 4 are symmetrical about the reference plane; the second support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1; in this embodiment, the first support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 12, that is, the first support frame 31 and the first housing 1 are still in a fixed connection relationship;

[0078] In the first direction, a clamping component 4 is provided at each end of the first housing 1, and the two clamping components 4 are symmetrical about the reference plane, that is, in the first direction, the housing is located between the two clamping components 4; the clamping component 4 includes a third support frame 41 and two clamping seats 42, the third support frame 41 is connected to the second support frame 12, preferably, the third support frame 41 is slidably connected to the second support frame 12 along the first direction;

[0079] Of the two clamping seats 42, one is the upper clamping seat 42a and the other is the lower clamping seat 42b. The two clamping seats 42 are distributed sequentially in the second direction. Each of the two clamping seats 42 forms a semi-circular groove 421 on the side that is close to each other. When the two semi-circular grooves 421 are combined, they form a circular hole for the steel to pass through. The diameter of the circular hole is the same as the diameter of the steel. The lower clamping seat 42b is fixedly connected to the third support frame 41. The upper clamping seat 42a is slidably connected to the third support frame 41 in the second direction. When the upper clamping seat 42a slides in the first direction to contact the lower clamping seat 42b so that the two semi-circular grooves 421 are combined into a circular hole, the circular hole is coaxial with the first material passing hole 11 for the steel to pass through.

[0080] To drive the upper clamping seat 42a to move along the second direction, the clamping assembly 4 also includes a third motor 43, a second screw 44, and a first guide post 45. The screw and the first guide post 45 are both parallel to the second direction and are located on the side of the semicircular groove 421 in the third direction. The first guide post 45 is fixedly connected to the third support frame 41 and passes through the upper clamping plate along the second direction to guide the movement of the upper clamping plate in the second direction. The third motor 43 is fixedly connected to the third support frame 41. One end of the second screw 44 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 43, and the other end is threaded to the upper clamping plate. When the third motor 43 drives the second screw 44 to rotate, the upper clamping plate will move along the second direction under the guidance of the first guide post 45.

[0081] During operation, the steel is threaded through the first housing 1, with both ends of the steel overlapping in the semi-circular groove 421 on the lower clamping plate. The forging die 36 then moves the steel to the desired position. After the steel is in place, the upper clamping plate presses down, and the two clamping plates fix the steel. Next, the forging assembly 3 forges the steel. During this process, the forging die 36 contacts the two clamping plates, so that the clamping plates close the opening of the forging groove 361. With the cooperation of the clamping plates and the forging die 36, the ends of the steel are forged and extruded into the desired shape.

[0082] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Since the steel pieces have different lengths, it is necessary to adjust the position of the clamping assembly 4 in the first direction. For this purpose, in some embodiments, a bidirectional drive assembly 5 is also included. The bidirectional drive assembly 5 is connected between the third support frame 41 and the second support frame 12 to drive the third support frame 41 to move along the first direction. The bidirectional drive assembly 5 includes a fourth support frame 51, a dual-head motor 52, a second guide post 53, and two first screws 54.

[0083] The fourth support frame 51 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 12, and the dual-head motor 52 is fixedly connected to the fourth support frame 51. The first screw 54 and the second guide post 53 are both parallel to the first direction. Each end of the dual-head motor 52 is connected to a first screw 54 to drive the first screw 54 to rotate around its own central axis. The first screw 54 passes through the third support frame and is threadedly connected to the third support frame. The second guide post 53 passes through the fourth support frame 51 along the first direction and is fixedly connected to the fourth support frame 51. The second guide post 53 slides through the third support frame 41 to guide the movement of the third support frame 41 along the first direction. After the dual-head motor 52 is started, it drives the two first screws 54 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two third support frames 41 to move synchronously along the first direction.

[0084] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments of this application, a hollow second box 6 and a cutting assembly 7 located inside the box are also included; in the first direction, the second box 6 is provided with a second material passage hole 61 at both ends. During operation, the steel raw material is passed through the second material passage hole 61 in the first direction, and then the cutting assembly 7 cuts the steel raw material to obtain the required length of steel.

[0085] The cutting assembly 7 includes a cross slide 71, a first linear drive 72, a lifting block 73, a cutting blade 74, and a first motor 75.

In this embodiment, the first linear drive 72 is a hydraulic cylinder. The lifting block 73 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first linear drive 72 to move along the second direction under the drive of the first linear drive 72. The cutting blade 74 is perpendicular to the first direction, and the cutting blade 74 is rotatably connected to the lifting block 73 around its own central axis. The first motor 75 is connected between the cutting blade 74 and the lifting block 73 to drive the cutting blade 74 to rotate. Specifically, the cutting blade 74 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 75.

[0086] During operation, the cross slide 71 drives the cutting blade 74 to move horizontally, and the first linear drive 72 drives the cutting blade 74 to move vertically, so that the cutting blade 74 can be driven to the steel material. Then, the first motor 75 drives the cutting blade 74 to rotate to cut the steel material.

[0087] During the cutting process, there will be waste material or cutting debris. Therefore, the cutting assembly 7 also includes a waste material tank 76, which is located below the cutting blade 74 to collect the waste material or debris.

[0088] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, a base plate 8 and a horizontal feeding device 9 are also included. The horizontal feeding device 9 is disposed on the base plate 8 and includes a second linear drive member 91, a first translation member 92, two third linear drive members 93, and two feeding assemblies 94.

[0089] The second linear drive 91 is fixedly connected to the base plate 8, and the driving direction of the second linear drive 91 is parallel to the third direction. In this embodiment, the second linear drive 91 is a linear motor. The first translation member 92 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second linear drive 91 so as to move along the third direction under the drive of the second linear drive 91. In this embodiment, the first translation member 92 is a long strip parallel to the first direction.

[0090] The third linear drive 93 is fixedly connected to the first translation member 92, and the driving direction of the third linear drive 93 is parallel to the first direction. In this embodiment, the third linear drive 93 is a linear motor; the two third linear drive members 93 are arranged side by side in the third direction.

The feeding assembly 94 includes a fourth linear drive member 941, a material carrier 942, two material carrier vertical plates 943, two clamping blocks 944, and two fifth linear drive members 945.

[0092] The fourth linear drive 941 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third linear drive 93, and can move along the first direction under the drive of the third linear drive 93; the driving direction of the fourth linear drive 941 is parallel to the second direction; the material carrier 942 is connected to the output end of the fourth linear drive 941, and can move along the second direction under the drive of the fourth linear drive 941; the material carrier vertical plate 943 is fixedly connected to the material carrier 942, and two material carrier vertical plates 943 are spaced apart in the fourth direction, wherein the fourth direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0093] In the fourth direction, two clamping blocks 944 are located between two material-carrying vertical plates 943, and a clamping space for clamping steel is formed between the two clamping blocks 944; the clamping spaces in the two feeding assemblies 94 are arranged opposite each other in the first direction. Specifically, although the two third linear drive members 93 are arranged side by side, by connecting different positions of the material carrier 942 with the fourth linear drive member 941, it can be ensured that the two material carriers 942 are spaced apart in the first direction, that is, the two clamping spaces are spaced apart in the first direction. Therefore, when the steel is located in the two clamping spaces and is clamped by the clamping blocks 944, the steel is parallel to the first direction.

[0094] Each clamping block 944 is connected to the material-carrying vertical plate 943 via a fifth linear drive 945. The driving direction of the fifth linear drive 945 is parallel to the fourth direction. In this embodiment, the fifth linear drive 945 is a cylinder and is fixedly connected between the material-carrying vertical plate 943 and the clamping block 944 to drive the clamping block 944 to move along the fourth direction.

[0095] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the arrangement of the first box 1, the second box 6, and the horizontal feeding device 9 is as follows: along the second linear drive member 91, the first box 1 and the second box 6 are located on both sides of the second linear drive member 91, that is, in the first direction, the second linear drive member 91 is located between the first box 1 and the second box 6; and the first box 1 and the second box 6 are spaced apart in the second direction; after the feeding device takes out the steel cut by the cutting component 7, it is driven by the second linear drive member 91 to move along the third direction to be transported to the heating forging device for heating forging;

[0096] Specifically, in order to facilitate the feeding process of the feeding device, the feeding component 94 closer to the first box 1 is named the first feeding component 94a, and the feeding component 94 closer to the second box 6 is named the second feeding component 94b.

[0097] During the cutting process, the feeder transports the steel to the second housing 6 for cutting. Before cutting, the first feeding device moves close to the second housing 6 and the first feeding component 94a clamps the steel. Then, the steel is cut. After cutting, the first feeding component 94a clamps the steel and moves away from the second housing 6 under the drive of the third linear drive component 93. The second linear drive component 91 then transports it to the first housing 1. At this time, the second feeding component 94b clamps the steel, the first feeding component 94a releases the steel, and the second feeding component 94b sends the steel into the first housing 1 for forging. After forging, the first feeding component 94a removes the steel. Then, the feeding component 94 continues to move away from the first housing 1 along the third direction until it reaches the end of the second linear drive component 91. Then, the steel can be unloaded.

[0098] Reference Figure 1 In order to collect the steel material being cut, a receiving box 81 with an open top is provided at the end of the second linear drive 91; specifically, in the third direction, the first box 1 is located between the second box 6 and the receiving box 81.

[0099] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, to facilitate unloading, the feeding assembly 94 further includes an adapter 946 and a second motor 947. The adapter 946 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth linear drive 941. The carrier 942 is rotatably connected to the adapter 946 about a first axis, which is parallel to a first direction. The second motor 947 is connected between the adapter 946 and the carrier 942 to drive the carrier 942 to rotate along the adapter 946. During unloading, the carrier 942 is simply driven by the second motor 947 to rotate toward the receiving box 81, and it will fall into the receiving box 81.

[0100] To improve operational efficiency, in some embodiments of this application, two horizontal feeding devices 9 are provided, with the second linear drive members 91 of the two horizontal feeding devices 9 arranged side by side in the first direction; the third linear drive members 93 of the two horizontal feeding devices 9 are aligned in the first direction, and the distance between their alignment and distance from each other is consistent with the distance between the alignment and distance from each other of the two feeding assemblies 94 in the first direction, which will not be elaborated further here. Furthermore, to ensure that the third linear drive member 93 can drive the feeding assembly 94 as close as possible to the first housing 1 and the second housing 6, in this embodiment, support legs are provided below both the first housing 1 and the second housing 6, and the third linear drive member 93 extends below the first housing 1 and the second housing 6 to ensure that the feeding assembly 94 is as close as possible to the first housing 1 and the second housing 6.

[0101] The implementation principle of a frequency forging device for automobile half-shaft forging in this application embodiment is as follows: during operation, after the steel raw material is cut, the feeding device transports the steel to the heating forging device for forging. After forging, the finished product is placed in the receiving box 81.

[0102] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
