Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fastener rivet processing technology, and relates to the forming and processing technology of rivets, specifically to a large-diameter rivet cold extrusion forming mold and its forming method. Background Technology
[0002] Rivet pins are widely used in railway freight car manufacturing. Made of 40Cr steel, they weigh 970 grams and feature a thicker rod (φ36mm) and a thinner rod (φ22.2mm), with a cross-sectional shrinkage rate of 62%. The mushroom-shaped cap is 15mm thick and φ58mm in diameter, making them difficult to form and suitable for hot forming. The current rivet pin manufacturing process is: bar sawing → heating → warm upsetting → machining the short tail → wire making → heat treatment and surface treatment. The warm upsetting process uses a two-station mechanical press: heating the billet to 750℃ → positive extrusion at station one → forging the cap and stepped surface at station two. Station one is hot extrusion, requiring graphite emulsion lubrication; the graphite emulsion spraying and billet transfer between stations are manual operations, with a production efficiency of approximately four pieces / min. While the warm upsetting process provides good billet plasticity and facilitates forming, it suffers from low automation, high labor intensity, low production efficiency, high heating energy consumption, and environmental pollution from graphite emulsion.
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the warm upsetting process, and in order to improve production efficiency, reduce labor intensity, reduce energy consumption and eliminate environmental pollution while ensuring the forming quality of rivet pins, it is necessary to study a new forming process for rivet pins.
[0004] Patent document CN208895093U discloses a cold heading forming die for hexagonal flange stepped bolts, comprising four sets of male dies (first, second, third, and fourth station male dies) and four sets of female dies (first, second, third, and fourth station female dies). The die sequentially performs strengthening of the shank, head balling and upsetting, head hexagonal cutting, and head rounding, ensuring the product's dimensions and appearance meet requirements and reducing processing costs. However, this cold heading forming die for hexagonal flange stepped bolts can only be used for cold heading of hexagonal flange stepped bolts and cannot be used for manufacturing other special fasteners. The structure and shape of hexagonal flange stepped bolts differ significantly from those of large-diameter rivet pins, necessitating the development of a specialized cold extrusion forming method for manufacturing large-diameter rivet pins.
[0005] Patent document CN111872295A discloses a cold heading die assembly and cold heading process for manufacturing engine center-mounted bolts. The cold heading die assembly includes a first cold heading die, a second cold heading die, a third cold heading die, a fourth cold heading die, a fifth cold heading die, and a sixth cold heading die. By using six cold heading dies, the wire blank is cold-headed six times, which improves material utilization, reduces costs, and increases production efficiency. Furthermore, when cold-heading metal materials, appropriate plastic deformation can be produced, which increases the strength of the metal material more than the single-stage upsetting process of hydraulic pressing. However, the above-mentioned cold heading die assembly and cold heading process are only applied to engine center-mounted bolts and cannot be used to manufacture other products, such as large-diameter rivet pins.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cold extrusion molding method specifically for manufacturing large-diameter rivet pins. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention discloses a cold extrusion molding die and its molding method for large-diameter rivet pins, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies. The purpose of this invention is to provide a cold extrusion molding die and its molding method for large-diameter rivet pins that features high production efficiency, low labor intensity, low energy consumption, no environmental pollution, and meets molding quality requirements.
[0008] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0009] This invention first discloses a large-diameter rivet pin cold extrusion forming die, which is used in conjunction with a parts forming machine for extrusion forming. The die is characterized by being composed of a shearing die, an end face leveling die, a positive extrusion die, a stepped surface forming die, a pre-pressing die, an initial pressing die, a final pressing and thin rod positive extrusion composite forming die, and clamps for feeding each die.
[0010] Shearing dies are used to cut processed materials into fixed-length bars by shearing, and include shearing dies and shears;
[0011] The end face leveling mold is used to level the inclined end face after large diameter blanks are cut and blanked. It includes a punch at one station, a front core for one station, a rear core for one station, and an ejector pin for one station.
[0012] A positive extrusion die is used for extruding and forming the thin rod at the front of a bar stock, including a two-station punch, a two-station front die core, a two-station rear die core, and a two-station ejector pin;
[0013] The stepped surface forming mold is used for pre-forming the stepped surface and chamfer at the transition between the thick and thin rods, and at the same time extruding and forming the tapered positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod. It includes a three-station punch, a three-station die-making front core, a three-station die-making rear core, a three-station die-making ejector pin, a positioning pad, and a positioning spring.
[0014] Pre-pressing mold, used for pre-pressing the cap head and forming the chamfer of the thick rod, includes a four-station punch core, a four-station front punch core, a four-station middle punch core, a four-station rear punch core, a four-station ejector pin, a positioning pad, and a positioning spring;
[0015] The initial pressing mold is used for the initial pressing and forming of the cap head, including a five-station punch core, a five-station front punch core, a five-station middle punch core, a five-station rear punch core, a five-station ejector pin, a positioning pad, and a positioning spring.
[0016] The final pressing and thin rod positive extrusion composite molding die is used for the final forming of the cap head and the positive extrusion forming of the thin rod. It includes a six-station punch core, a six-station front die core, a six-station middle die core, a six-station rear die core, a six-station ejector pin, a positioning pad, and a positioning spring.
[0017] Furthermore, in the end-face leveling mold, the punch at one station and the ejector pin at one station are cylindrical flat-end ejector pin structures; a through hole of equal diameter is set at the center of the front core of the ejector pin at one station; a variable-diameter through hole with a stepped structure is set at the center of the rear core of the ejector pin at one station, the cone angle formed by the variable-diameter through hole is α1=120°, the radius of the corner of the variable-diameter through hole is R1=(D1a-D1b) / 2, the large inner hole of the mold cavity is D1a=D1+0.15mm, and the small inner hole of the mold cavity is D1b=0.6×D1, where D1 is the diameter of the bar stock. Because the raw material of the rivet pin has a large wire diameter, after the large-diameter wire is cut, there is an obvious shearing slope on the end face, which cannot be eliminated in subsequent forming. This defect can be eliminated after the end-face leveling process.
[0018] Furthermore, in the stepped surface forming mold, the three-station punch is a cylindrical flat-end ejector pin structure, and the three-station die-forming ejector pin is a cylindrical ejector pin structure with a flat side and a central cone at the end face; both the front die-forming core and the rear die-forming core of the three-station die-forming core are provided with through holes of equal diameter at their centers, with the inner diameter of the front die-forming core cavity being D3a=D2a+0.1mm and the inner diameter of the rear die-forming core cavity being D3b=D2b+0.05mm; a floating material support device is provided in the rear die-forming core of the three-station die-forming ejector pin; the diameter of the bottom surface of the central cone at the end face of the three-station die-forming ejector pin is D3d=3.5mm, the height of the cone is H3a=1mm, and the thickness of the side plane of the ejector pin is H3b=D3f-1mm; where D2a is the inner diameter of the cavity of the front die-forming core of the two-station die-forming core in the positive extrusion mold, D2b is the inner diameter of the reducing band at the rear end of the reducing through hole of the rear die-forming core of the two-station die-forming core, D3d is the diameter of the positioning spring, and D3f is the diameter of the ejector pin. Typically, the process of forming the stepped surface at the abrupt change in cross-section is combined with the pre-pressing process of the cap. However, the deformation of the stepped surface is insufficient, resulting in poor forming at the chamfer, which is difficult to eliminate in subsequent processes. This invention eliminates this defect by setting a separate forming process for the stepped surface at the abrupt change in cross-section.
[0019] Furthermore, in the pre-compression mold, the cavity of the four-station punch is shaped like a pre-compression cap, and the four-station ejector pin is a cylindrical ejector rod structure with a flat side and a central conical end face. The front and rear cores of the four-station punch have through holes of equal diameter at their centers. The inner diameter of the front core cavity is D4a = D3a + 0.08mm, and the inner diameter of the rear core cavity is D4c = D3b + 0.05mm. The middle core of the four-station punch has a variable diameter through hole with a stepped structure, and the inner diameter of the middle core cavity is D4b = D3b + 0.05mm. The four-station punch is trumpet-shaped. The cone angle of the die cavity formed by the expansion structure is α2=40°. The inner diameter of the die cavity front guide is D4=D3a+10mm, and the length is W4=1.5mm. The height of the die cavity is determined according to the volume of the initial upsetting cap V1=V2, where V2 is the volume of the product cap. A floating material support device is set after the four-station die-making process. The diameter of the bottom surface of the central cone of the ejector pin end face of the four-station die-making process is D3d=3.5mm, the height of the cone is H3a=1mm, and the thickness of the ejector pin side plane is H4b=D4f-1mm, where D4f is the diameter of the ejector pin.
[0020] Furthermore, in the aforementioned initial pressing mold, the five-station punch core cavity is shaped like an initial pressing cap, and the five-station ejector pin is a cylindrical ejector rod structure with flat sides and a central conical end face. The front and rear cores of the five-station ejector pin have through holes of equal diameter at their centers. The inner diameter of the front core cavity is D5a = D4a + 0.15mm, and the inner diameter of the rear core cavity is D5c = D4b + 0.05mm. The middle core of the five-station ejector pin has a variable diameter through hole with a stepped structure, and the inner diameter of the middle core cavity is D5b = D4b + 0.05mm; The dome arc of the mushroom-shaped die cavity of the five-station punch is R5a=0.85×D1, the opening diameter of the die cavity is D5=D0a-2mm, and the height of the die cavity is determined according to the volume of the initial upsetting head V1=V2; A floating material support device is set after the five-station die-making process; The bottom diameter of the central cone of the ejector pin end face of the five-station die-making process is D3d=3.5mm, the height of the cone is H3a=1mm, and the thickness of the ejector pin side plane is H5b=D5f-1mm, where D5f is the diameter of the ejector pin.
[0021] In the further described final pressing and thin rod positive extrusion composite molding die, the six-station punch cavity is shaped like a rivet cap, the six-station ejector pin is a cylindrical ejector pin structure with a flat side and a central conical end face, the front and rear punches of the six-station punch have through holes of equal diameter, the inner diameter of the front punch cavity is D6a=D5a+0.1mm, the inner diameter of the rear punch cavity is D6c=D5b+0.05mm, the middle punch of the six-station punch has a variable diameter through hole with a stepped structure, the variable diameter of the middle punch cavity with hole diameter D6b=D0d, where D0d is the diameter of the rivet pin thin rod; the rear punch of the six-station punch has a floating material support device; the diameter of the bottom surface of the central conical body of the six-station ejector pin end face is D3d=3.5mm, the height of the conical body is H3a=1mm, and the thickness of the side plane of the ejector pin is H6b=D6f-1mm, where D6f is the ejector pin diameter.
[0022] The floating material support device further includes: two opposing positioning spring mounting holes are provided for each die-casting core, with an inner diameter D3c = D3d + 0.2mm; ejector pins, positioning pads, and positioning springs are installed in the mounting holes and limited by end caps. Because the rivet pin rod is relatively long, during pre-pressing at the workstation, the clamps cannot be released before the blank is fed into the die-casting core cavity. However, the continuous movement of the punch at this time will impact the clamps. This invention provides a floating material support device, where the tip is inserted into the tip groove on the end face of the tip rod for positioning. Two springs apply pressure to the upper and lower planes of the ejector pin, generating a certain frictional resistance. Even after the clamps are released in advance, the blank can still be stably supported, ensuring accurate feeding of the blank into the die-casting core cavity while avoiding impact on the clamps.
[0023] This invention features a tapered positioning groove on the end face of a thin rod. The third station uses a top-tipped ejector pin to press out the tapered positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod during the forming of the blank at the third station. Subsequent fourth, fifth, and sixth stations are also equipped with top-tipped ejector pins to facilitate insertion into the tapered positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. This achieves accurate positioning of the workpiece during floating material handling and allows it to be smoothly guided into the mold cavity of the next station.
[0024] The clamp thickness is the length of the thin rod plus 10mm. This invention uses a thick clamp to hold the thick rod of the billet. The clamp thickness is the length of the thin rod plus 10mm. The thick rod is held throughout the billet ejection process. When the billet is completely ejected, the clamp can still hold the thick rod. The clamping part is close to the center of gravity of the workpiece, which prevents the billet from tilting and avoids the defect of the billet being easily bitten when it is pushed into the mold cavity at the next station.
[0025] In the further preliminary pressing mold, final pressing mold, and thin rod positive extrusion composite molding mold, a pre-set mold compression elastic deformation amount Δ is provided. The compression elastic deformation amount Δ is 0.25% of the sum of the lengths L2 of the middle core and the rear core, and the length L1 of the front core is the length L-Δ of the rivet pin thick rod. This invention sets the mold compression elastic deformation amount so that during molding at the fifth and sixth stations, due to the large molding force, the step surface at the connection between the thick rod and the thin rod will first bear a large pressure. This pressure will be sequentially transmitted to the middle core and the rear core of the mold, thus generating a certain amount of compression elastic deformation. This value is approximately 0.25% of the sum of the lengths L2 of the middle core and the rear core. For example, if the length of the rivet pin thick rod is L, the length L1 of the front core should be L-Δ; otherwise, the length of the thick rod after molding will exceed the tolerance.
[0026] This invention relates to a mushroom-shaped cap head formed through three cold pressing processes. The mushroom-shaped cap head with rivets is relatively thin with a large diameter; the thickness of its circumferential edge is only 3-4 mm. If the traditional two-stage pre-pressing and final pressing process is used during cap head forming, excessive deformation will lead to significant tensile stress on the circumferential edge of the cap head, causing cracks. The three-stage forming process for the mushroom-shaped cap head, consisting of pre-pressing, initial pressing, and final pressing (stations four, five, and six), reduces the deformation at each station and avoids cracking defects on the circumferential edge of the cap head.
[0027] This invention also discloses a method for cold extrusion forming of large-diameter rivet pins. The method includes shearing, end face leveling, forward extrusion, stepped surface forming, pre-pressing, initial pressing, final pressing, and thin rod forward extrusion steps. The punches at each step are mounted on the main slide of the part forming machine and reciprocate. The die cores, middle cores, rear cores, ejector pins, positioning pads, and positioning springs at each step are mounted on the fixed base of the part forming machine. The blanks are automatically transferred between each step using clamps. The specific process includes:
[0028] 1) The cutting and blanking are completed by the shearing die and the shears. The size of the positioning stop is adjusted according to the blanking length. The straightened processing material is fed into and passes through the inner hole of the shearing die. When it contacts the front positioning stop, the shears move to complete the cutting of the fixed length bar.
[0029] 2) The cut bar stock is conveyed by clamps to the end face leveling station. The punch at station 1 pushes the bar stock into the cavity of the die core at station 1. After that, the clamps are released. The punch at station 1 continues to push the bar stock forward to the front dead center position. The end face leveling is completed in the cavity formed by the die core and ejector pin at station 1. The punch at station 1 retracts. The ejector pin at station 1 ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the die core cavity at station 1, the clamps at station 2 close to clamp the bar stock until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0030] 3) The flattened blank is transferred to the positive extrusion station 2 by the clamp. The punch at station 2 pushes the blank into the cavity of the die-cutting mold at station 1 by 30mm. Then the clamp is released and the punch at station 2 continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position. The thin rod positive extrusion is completed in the cavity of the die-cutting mold at station 2. The punch at station 2 retracts and the ejector pin at station 2 ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the cavity of the die-cutting mold at station 2, the clamp at station 3 closes to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0031] 4) The extruded billet is conveyed to the three-station step surface forming station. The three-station punch pushes the billet into the front core cavity of the three-station die-making station by 70mm. Then the clamps are released, and the three-station punch continues to push the billet forward to the front dead center position. The step surface is formed in the rear core cavity of the three-station die-making station. At the same time, the three-station ejector pin presses out a conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the billet. The three-station punch retracts, and the three-station die-making ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the front core cavity of the three-station die-making station, the four-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0032] 5) After the stepped surface is formed, the blank is transferred to the pre-pressing station 4. At the same time, the conical tip of the ejector pin of the station 4 pushes the blank and inserts into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. After the blank is pushed into the cavity of the die-cutting core of the station 4 by 20mm, the clamp is released and the blank is stably clamped and will not fall. The die-cutting core of the station 4 continues to push the blank forward to the front dead point position to complete the pre-pressing of the head. The die-cutting core of the station 4 retracts and the ejector pin of the die-cutting core of the station 4 ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the cavity of the die-cutting core of the station 4, the clamp of the station 5 closes to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0033] 6) The pre-pressed blank is transferred to the fifth station of the initial pressing. At the same time, the conical tip of the fifth station ejector pin is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank while the blank is pushed into the cavity of the fifth station die-cutting core 20mm. Then the clamp is released and the blank is stably clamped and will not fall. The fifth station punch continues to push the blank forward to the front dead point position to complete the initial pressing of the head. The fifth station punch retracts and the fifth station die-cutting ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the cavity of the fifth station die-cutting core, the sixth station clamp closes to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0034] 7) After initial pressing, the billet is transferred to the final pressing and fine rod positive extrusion six-station station. While the six-station punch pushes the billet, the conical tip of the six-station ejector pin is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the fine rod of the billet. After the billet is pushed into the cavity of the six-station die-making core 20mm, the clamp is released, and the billet is stably clamped and will not fall. The six-station punch continues to push the billet forward to the front dead center position to complete the final pressing of the cap head. At the same time, the positive extrusion of the fine rod is completed in the cavity of the six-station die-making core. The six-station punch retracts, and the six-station die-making ejector pin ejects the workpiece until the workpiece is completely ejected and falls into the discharge port; the cold extrusion forming of the rivet pin is completed.
[0035] For a long time, large-diameter rivet pins have been produced using the traditional warm upsetting method. This requires heating the blank, and the transfer of blanks between stations is all manual, resulting in high labor intensity and a production efficiency of approximately four pieces / min, which is inefficient. Existing production processes require the application of graphite emulsion for lubrication, leading to poor working conditions and severe environmental pollution. This invention employs a cold extrusion forming method, using wire rod on a six-station parts forming machine with cold extrusion dies to achieve the cold extrusion forming of large-diameter rivet pins.
[0036] This invention relates to a large-diameter rivet pin cold extrusion forming die and its forming method. During the cold extrusion process, the wire rod is automatically straightened and fed. Through the cold extrusion die and clamps, processes such as shearing, end face leveling, positive extrusion, stepped surface forming, pre-pressing, initial pressing, final pressing, and fine rod positive extrusion composite forming are completed. This realizes continuous and automated cold heading forming of rivet pins. Each wire rod weighs about two tons and can be continuously produced for about two hours.
[0037] This invention relates to a large-diameter rivet cold extrusion forming mold and its forming method, which realizes automated continuous production of rivets, replacing the existing warm upsetting forming method, and realizing the cold extrusion forming of large-size fasteners.
[0038] This invention relates to a large-diameter rivet pin cold extrusion forming die and its forming method, which achieves automated production and reduces manual operation; it eliminates the heating process, reducing energy consumption; it eliminates the need for graphite emulsion, improving the on-site working environment and meeting environmental protection requirements; it significantly improves production efficiency, approximately seven times that of the warm upsetting method; it exhibits good process stability, with die dimensional accuracy and strength meeting product quality and usage requirements, and can continuously and automatically complete processes such as shearing, end face leveling, positive extrusion, stepped surface forming, pre-pressing, initial pressing, final pressing, and thin rod positive extrusion composite forming, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0057] This embodiment discloses a cold extrusion forming die for large-diameter rivet pins and its forming process. It utilizes ML40Cr wire and a forming machine with a forging pressure ≥8000KN and six stations to achieve cold extrusion forming.
[0058] The process of this invention includes: placing ML40Cr wire on the feeding shaft of a six-station parts forming machine for automatic feeding; completing the blank shearing, end face leveling, positive extrusion, stepped surface forming, pre-pressing, initial pressing, final pressing, and thin rod positive extrusion composite forming processes through cold extrusion dies and clamps; continuously and automatically realizing the cold extrusion forming of large-diameter rivet pins; the cold extrusion die is designed to be six-station, and each station die mainly includes punches, die-cutting components, and ejector pins, etc.; the punches are installed on the main slide of the equipment and can reciprocate; the die-cutting components and ejector pins are installed on the fixed base of the equipment; and the blanks are automatically transferred between each station using clamps.
[0059] The raw material is ML40Cr wire with a diameter of φ35mm.
[0060] The cutting and blanking are completed by the shearing die and the shears. The size of the positioning stop is adjusted according to the blanking length. The straightened wire rod is fed in and passes through the inner hole of the shearing die. When it contacts the front positioning stop, the shears move to complete the cutting of the fixed length bar.
[0061] The sheared bar stock is conveyed by clamps to the end face leveling station. The punch at station 1 pushes the bar stock into the cavity of the die-casting core at station 1. After that, the clamps are released, and the punch at station 1 continues to push the bar stock forward to the front dead center position. The end face leveling is completed in the cavity formed by the die-casting core and ejector pin at station 1. The punch at station 1 retracts, and the ejector pin at station 1 ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the die-casting core cavity at station 1, the clamps at station 2 close to clamp the bar stock until the workpiece is completely ejected. The flattened blank is conveyed by clamps to the second extrusion station. The second station punch pushes the blank 30mm into the cavity of the first station die-making core. Then the clamps are released, and the second station punch continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position. The thin rod is extruded in the cavity of the second station die-making core. The second station punch retracts, and the second station die-making ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the cavity of the second station die-making core, the third station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected. The extruded billet is conveyed to the three-station step surface forming station. The three-station punch pushes the billet 70mm into the front core cavity of the three-station die-making station. Then the clamps are released, and the three-station punch continues to push the billet forward to the front dead center position. The step surface is formed in the rear core cavity of the three-station die-making station. At the same time, the three-station ejector pin presses out a conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the billet. The three-station punch retracts, and the three-station die-making ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the front core cavity of the three-station die-making station, the four-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected. After the stepped surface is formed, the blank is transferred to the pre-pressing fourth station. At the same time, the conical tip of the fourth station ejector pin pushes the blank and inserts into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. After the blank is pushed into the cavity of the fourth station die-cutting core 20mm, the clamps are released and the blank is stably clamped and will not fall. The fourth station die-cutting core continues to push the blank forward to the front dead point position to complete the pre-pressing of the head. The fourth station die-cutting core retracts and the fourth station die-cutting ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the cavity of the fourth station die-cutting core, the fifth station clamp closes to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected. The pre-pressed blank is conveyed to the fifth station of the initial pressing. At the same time, the conical tip of the fifth station ejector pin is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank while the blank is pushed into the cavity of the fifth station die-cutting core 20mm. Then the clamps are released and the blank is stably held and will not fall. The fifth station die-cutting core continues to push the blank forward to the front dead point position to complete the initial pressing of the head. The fifth station die-cutting core retracts and the fifth station die-cutting ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the cavity of the fifth station die-cutting core, the sixth station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.After initial pressing, the blank is transferred to the final pressing and thin rod positive extrusion composite forming station 6. At the same time, the conical tip of the ejector pin at station 6 pushes the blank, and the blank is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. After the blank is pushed into the cavity of the front core of the die at station 6 by 20mm, the clamp is released, and the blank is stably clamped and will not fall. The front core of the die at station 6 continues to push the blank forward to the front dead point position, completing the final pressing forming of the cap head. At the same time, the positive extrusion of the thin rod is completed in the cavity of the middle core of the die at station 6. The front core of the die at station 6 retracts, and the ejector pin of the die at station 6 ejects the workpiece until the workpiece is completely ejected and falls into the discharge port. Thus, the cold extrusion forming of the rivet pin is completed.
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, rivet pins are important fasteners on railway freight cars. Rivet pins consist of a cap, a thick rod, a transition step rod, and a thin rod. The diameter of the thick rod is significantly larger than that of conventional fasteners, classifying it as a large-diameter fastener. The cross-sectional shrinkage rate of the thick and thin rods is relatively large. The mushroom-shaped cap has a small thickness and a large diameter, resulting in a large degree of deformation during forming, which is not conducive to cold extrusion forming. For a long time, it has been manufactured using the warm upsetting method.
[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cold extrusion process for rivet pins includes: shearing (d), end face leveling (e), forward extrusion (f), step surface forming (g), pre-pressing (h), initial pressing (i), final pressing, and composite forming of thin rod forward extrusion (j); forming is completed by the cold extrusion die (k). Shearing is the process of cutting the product according to its volume to obtain a fixed-length bar. End face leveling eliminates the shearing bevel after shearing large-diameter bars. Forward extrusion is used because the cross-sectional shrinkage rate of the thick rivet pin and the transition step bar is relatively large, ranging from 30% to 75%, resulting in a large degree of deformation. This method is a closed-die forming, where the blank is in a closed state and subjected to triaxial pressure, allowing for a large degree of deformation to complete the forming of the thin rod. Step surface forming is used when the step surface at the abrupt change in cross-section is combined with the cap pre-pressing process. Insufficient deformation of the step surface can lead to defects in the chamfer, which are difficult to eliminate in subsequent processes. The defect was eliminated by a separate forming process for the stepped surface at the abrupt change. Pre-pressing was adopted because direct forming of the cap head resulted in a large deformation, which could easily lead to defects such as folding, incomplete metal filling in some areas, and cap head eccentricity. Therefore, a gradual transition deformation method was used to initially forge the billet into a cone. According to the law of "constant volume", the volume of the cone is equal to the volume of the rivet pin cap head, which can eliminate the above-mentioned defects. Initial pressing was used to reduce the deformation of the cap head and to initially form the cap head, preventing the cap head from cracking at the circumferential edge due to excessive deformation in a single process. Final pressing and thin rod positive extrusion composite forming completed the final forming of the cap head, while the thin rod positive extrusion achieved the final size.
[0064] like Figure 4As shown, end face leveling is accomplished by a first-station punch A1a, a first-station die-forming front core B1a, and a first-station die-forming rear core B1b. The sheared bar stock is conveyed to the end face leveling station by clamps. The first-station punch pushes the bar stock into the die-forming front core cavity of the first-station station. After that, the clamps release, and the first-station punch continues to push the bar stock forward to the front dead center position. End face leveling is completed in the die cavity formed by the first-station die-forming rear core and ejector pin. The first-station punch retracts, and the first-station die-forming ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the die-forming front core cavity of the first-station station, the second-station clamps close to hold the bar stock until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, the forward extrusion is completed by the two-station punch A2a, the two-station die-forming front core B1a, and the two-station die-forming rear core B2b. The blank with its end face flattened is conveyed to the two-station forward extrusion station by clamps. The two-station punch pushes the blank into the die-forming front core cavity of the two-station station by 30mm, then the clamps release. The two-station punch continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position, where the forward extrusion of the thin rod is completed in the die-forming rear core cavity of the two-station station. The two-station punch retracts, and the two-station die-forming ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the die-forming front core cavity of the two-station station, the three-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, the stepped surface forming is accomplished by a three-station punch A3a, a three-station front die B3a, a three-station rear die B3b, and a three-station ejector pin C3. The extruded blank is conveyed to the three-station stepped surface forming station. The three-station punch pushes the blank into the cavity of the front die 70mm, then the clamps release. The three-station punch continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position, where the stepped surface is formed in the cavity of the rear die. Simultaneously, the three-station ejector pin presses out a conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. The three-station punch retracts, and the three-station ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 50mm out of the front die cavity, the four-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the pre-compression is completed by the four-station punch core A4a, the four-station die-forming front core B4a, the four-station die-forming middle core B4b, the four-station die-forming rear core B4c, and the four-station die-forming ejector pin C4. After the stepped surface is formed, the blank is transferred to the four-station pre-compression station. While the four-station punch core pushes the blank, the conical tip of the four-station ejector pin is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. After the blank is pushed into the die cavity of the four-station die-forming front core 20mm, the clamps are released, and the blank is stably clamped and will not fall. The four-station punch core continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position to complete the pre-compression forming of the cap head. The four-station punch core retracts, and the four-station die-forming ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the die cavity of the four-station die-forming front core, the five-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, the initial pressing is completed by the five-station punch core A5a, the five-station front die core B5a, the five-station middle die core B5b, the five-station rear die core B54c, and the five-station ejector pin C5. The pre-pressed blank is transferred to the five-station initial pressing station. While the five-station punch core pushes the blank, the conical tip of the five-station ejector pin is inserted into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the thin rod of the blank. After the blank is pushed into the cavity of the five-station front die core 20mm, the clamps are released, and the blank is stably held and will not fall. The five-station punch core continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position, completing the initial pressing of the cap head. The five-station punch core retracts, and the five-station ejector pin ejects the workpiece. When the workpiece is ejected 65mm out of the cavity of the five-station front die core, the six-station clamps close to clamp the thick rod until the workpiece is completely ejected.
[0069] like Figure 9 As shown, the final pressing and fine rod positive extrusion composite forming is completed by a six-station punch core A6a, a six-station die-forming front core B6a, a six-station die-forming middle core B6b, a six-station die-forming rear core B6c, and a six-station die-forming ejector pin C6. The initial pressing blank is transferred to the six-station final pressing and fine rod positive extrusion composite forming station. While the six-station punch core pushes the blank, the conical tip of the six-station ejector pin inserts into the conical positioning groove on the end face of the fine rod. After the blank is pushed 20mm into the die cavity of the six-station die-forming front core, the clamps release, and the blank is stably held and will not fall. The six-station punch core continues to push the blank forward to the front dead center position, completing the final pressing forming of the cap head. Simultaneously, the positive extrusion of the fine rod is completed in the die cavity of the six-station die-forming middle core. The six-station punch core retracts, and the six-station die-forming ejector pin ejects the workpiece until it is completely ejected and falls into the discharge port. Thus, the cold extrusion forming of the rivet pin is completed.
[0070] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the floating material support device consists of an ejector pin E1, a positioning pad E2, a positioning spring E3, and an end cap E4. Two sets of floating material support devices are symmetrically arranged. Due to the large length of the rivet pin rod, during the pre-pressing at the fourth station, the clamps cannot be released before the blank is fed into the cavity of the die-casting mold. However, the continuous movement of the punch at this time will cause the clamps to collide. To solve this problem, a floating material support device is set up. The tip is inserted into the tip groove on the end face of the rod for positioning. Two springs apply pressure to the upper and lower planes of the ejector pin to generate a certain frictional resistance. Even after the clamps are released in advance, the blank can still be stably supported to ensure that the blank is accurately fed into the cavity of the die-casting mold, while avoiding collisions with the clamps.
[0071] like Figure 14 , Figure 15As shown, thick-type clamps are used for transferring blanks between stations. The thicker clamping rod holds the blank, with a thickness equal to the length of the thinner rod plus 10mm. This thicker rod is held throughout the blank ejection process, and even when the blank is fully ejected, the clamp still holds the thicker rod. The clamping point is close to the workpiece's center of gravity, preventing blank skewing and avoiding the defects of being easily damaged when the blank is pushed into the mold cavity at the next station. This avoids the problems of impact, blank swaying, and blank center of gravity shift caused by traditional clamps during the sequential clamping of the thicker and thinner rods, which can lead to workpiece damage and jamming during mold cavity insertion.
[0072] like Figure 16 As shown, the elastic compression amount is set, where L1 is the length of the front core and L2 is the sum of the lengths of the middle core and the rear core. During molding at the fifth and sixth stations, due to the large molding force, the step surface at the connection between the thick and thin rods will first bear a large pressure. This pressure will be transmitted to the middle core and the rear core of the mold in sequence, thereby generating a certain amount of compressive elastic deformation Δ. This value is approximately 0.25% of the sum of the lengths of the middle core and the rear core, L2. For example, if the length of the rivet pin is L, the length of the front core L1 should be L-Δ, which solves the defect of the thick rod length being out of tolerance after molding.
