[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Example One

[0020] A forming production method of a large-capacity hydrogen cylinder liner 14, comprising the following steps: Step 1-1, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the round sheet of aluminum alloy material is placed between the first upper die 20 and the first lower die 30 in the stretching machine as the stretching base material to perform the first stretching. Before the first stretching, a layer of stretching oil is uniformly brushed on both surfaces of the round sheet 10. After the first upper die 20 moves towards the first lower die 30, the two are in contact and then move downward synchronously. The first punch 40 is installed at the bottom of the stretching machine and connected to the driving member at the bottom. The first punch 40 is driven by the driving member to move towards the first lower die 30 and extrude the round sheet 10. The first upper die 20 has a first forming hole 21 in the middle. The first lower die 30 has a first displacement hole 31 in the middle. The first punch 40 extrudes the round sheet 10 through the first displacement hole 31 and gradually passes through the first forming hole 21. The round sheet 10 is extruded into a first cup-shaped body blank 11 by the outer peripheral wall of the first forming hole 21.

[0021] Step 1-2, the first cup-shaped body blank 11 is subjected to tempering treatment.

[0022] Step 1-3, the first cup-shaped body blank 11 is subjected to the second stretching. The first cup-shaped body blank 11 is placed on the second punch 70 of another stretching machine. The second upper die 50 moves towards the second lower die 60. The second punch 70 is arranged at the bottom of the stretching machine and is also driven by the driving member to rise and fall. The second upper die 50 has a second forming hole 51. The second lower die 60 has a second displacement hole 61. The diameter of the second forming hole 51 is smaller than that of the first forming hole 21.

[0023] During the second stretching, the second upper die 50 moves towards the second lower die 60. The second punch 70 moves towards the second upper die 50. After the first cup-shaped body blank 11 passes through the second forming hole 51, a second cup-shaped body blank 12 is formed.

[0024] In combination Figure 3 , the second cup-shaped body blank 12 has a greater height and a thinner wall thickness than the first cup-shaped body blank 11.

[0025] Step 2, refer to Figure 5The second cup-shaped body blank 12 is installed on the rotating shaft 100 of the spinning machine, and the tail top presses one end of the second cup-shaped body blank 12 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 100. During spinning, the first spinning wheel 110 abuts against the outer wall of the second cup-shaped body blank 12 and gradually moves away from the tail top side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 100. The first spinning wheel 110 is provided with three circumferential distribution sets along the rotating shaft 100. After spinning, the second cup-shaped body blank 12 has a reduced wall thickness and an increased height to obtain the third cup-shaped body blank 13.

[0026] Step 3: The third cup-shaped body blank 13 is cut at the opening side on the machine tool to make the height meet the design requirements and the end face is flattened.

[0027] Step 4: The third cup-shaped body blank 13 is cleaned to remove dirt and impurities on the surface.

[0028] Step 5, refer to Figure 6 The third cup-shaped body blank 13 is clamped to the rotating jaw of the machine tool spindle with the opening side facing outward. The high-temperature spray gun is turned on to heat the opening part. The machine tool spindle rotates to drive the third cup-shaped body blank 13 to rotate. The second spinning wheel 121 gradually extrudes the outer wall of the opening side to realize closing and form the overall shape of the inner container 14.

[0029] Step 6: The inner container 14 is cut at the closing position by the machine tool to make the end face of the opening side flat.

[0030] Step 7, combined Figure 7 to Figure 11 The formed inner container 14 is subjected to heat treatment, which is solid solution treatment. A plurality of inner containers 14 are first installed on a stainless steel frame 134. The stainless steel frame 134 includes a frame body 1341, and the frame body 1341 has a plurality of limiting stations. Each limiting station can install and limit one inner container 14. The limiting station has a plurality of clamps 1342 arranged in the vertical direction and a U-shaped communication pipe 1343 fixed to the frame body 1341.

[0031] When fixing the inner container 14, the inner container 14 is inserted into the communication pipe 1343 from the opening position, so that one end of the communication pipe 1343 is placed in the inner cavity 141 of the inner container 14. Then, the inner container 14 is moved and the bottom is abutted against the limiting plate 1344 on the frame body 1341 to limit the travel of one side of the inner container 14. Finally, the clamp 1342 holds the inner container 14 so that the entire inner container 14 is connected to the frame body 1341.

[0032] The solid solution treatment adopts a solid solution furnace 130. In the embodiment, the solid solution furnace 130 includes a furnace body 131, the furnace body 131 is of a lower opening type, two furnace doors 135 are arranged on the two sides of the opening of the furnace body 131, the two furnace doors 135 are driven by driving members to move on tracks to move towards each other or away from each other, when the two furnace doors 135 move towards each other and abut against each other, the opening of the furnace body 131 can be closed to realize furnace closing.

[0033] A cooling water tank 132 is arranged below the opening of the furnace body 131, a moving trolley 133 is arranged on one side of the cooling water tank 132, during the solid solution treatment, the stainless steel frame 134 is first hoisted by a truss to the moving trolley 133, the moving trolley 133 is slid to below the opening of the furnace body 131, the two furnace doors 135 are opened, the entire stainless steel frame 134 is hoisted into the furnace body 131 by the electric hoist of the solid solution furnace 130, and the furnace doors 135 are closed for heating treatment.

[0034] During the heating treatment, the heating temperature is between 525±10 ℃, after the temperature reaches 525 ℃, the temperature is maintained, the holding time is 120±15 min. After the holding is completed, the furnace doors 135 are opened, the entire stainless steel frame 134 is hoisted into the cooling water tank 132, when the inner container 14 enters the water, the opening side faces the cooling water tank 132, the inner and outer walls of the inner container 14 can be synchronously contacted with the cooling water under the action of the communication pipe 1343 to perform cooling, the transfer time from the furnace to the cooling water is not more than 10 s, the cooling water temperature is between 15-45 ℃, and the cooling soaking time is not less than 10 min. At the solid solution temperature, the second phase (such as Mg2Si, CuAl2) of the aluminum alloy is completely dissolved into the aluminum matrix to form a uniform supersaturated solid solution, if the cooling speed is too slow, the solute atoms (Mg, Cu, etc.) in the supersaturated solid solution will be precipitated in advance during the cooling process to form coarse second phase particles, these coarse particles precipitated in advance will cause that uniform fine strengthening phases cannot be formed during subsequent aging treatment, which directly reduces the final strength and hardness of the material, and loses the significance of the solid solution treatment. Therefore, in the embodiment, the lower opening structure of the furnace body 131 can reduce the process time of the inner container 14 transferred to the cooling water tank 132, and the inner container 14 can enter the cooling water as soon as possible to achieve the effect of the solid solution treatment.

[0035] In combination Figure 12 , the height H1: H2 at which the communication pipe 1343 is inserted into the inner cavity 141 is greater than 1 / 2, the aperture ratio of the pipe diameter φ2 of the communication pipe 1343 to the aperture φ1 of the bottle opening of the inner container 14 is between 1:5 and 1:8, and the other end of the communication pipe 1343 is always arranged on the liquid surface of the cooling water tank 132.

[0036] According to the size of the bottle opening, it is ensured that the water inlet and the exhaust do not interfere with each other, and the following is a reference table of the pipe diameter of the communication pipe selected according to the aperture of the bottle opening: If the aperture ratio is less than 1:5, the water inlet is affected, and if the aperture ratio is greater than 1:8, the exhaust speed is insufficient, the high-temperature gas in the inner cavity 141 cannot be discharged in time, and the cooling effect may be affected due to the residual local air blockage.

[0037] After the solid solution treatment is completed, the stainless steel frame is lifted from the cooling water tank 132, gently placed on a small trolley, and pushed into the aging furnace. The furnace temperature is 180±10℃, and the aging holding time is ≥480±60min. After aging, the inner liner 14 is naturally cooled in the air.

[0038] Step 8: The inner liner 14 is finally cleaned by spraying. After cleaning, the entire inner liner 14 is manufactured and produced. Example Two

[0039] A large-capacity hydrogen cylinder liner forming production method, which is different from example one in that the round sheet 10 is directly formed into a second cup-shaped body blank 12 by one stretching. For details, see Figure 4 The round sheet 10 is placed between the third upper die 80 and the third lower die 83. The third upper die 80 includes a first die body 81, a second die body 82, and a connecting column 84 connecting the first die body 81 and the second die body 82. The first die body 81 has a third forming hole 811, and the second die body 82 has a fourth forming hole 821. The aperture of the third forming hole 811 is smaller than that of the fourth forming hole 821, and the first die body 81 is placed above the second die body 82. The third lower die 83 has a third displacement hole 831.

[0040] During stretching, the third upper die 80 moves towards the third lower die 83 and then moves down synchronously. The third punch 90 is placed at the bottom of the stretching machine. The third punch 90 includes a first top cylinder 91 and a second top cylinder 92. The second top cylinder 92 can extend and retract relative to the first top cylinder 91, and the second top cylinder 92 can independently extend and retract. When the third upper die 80 moves down synchronously with the third lower die 83, the second top cylinder 92 extends through the third displacement hole 831 and extrudes the round sheet 10 to gradually pass through the third forming hole 811 to form the first cup-shaped body blank 11. The third upper die 80 continues to move down, and at this time, the second top cylinder 92 extends relative to the first top cylinder 91 to extrude the first cup-shaped body blank 11 to gradually pass through the second forming hole 51 to form the second cup-shaped body blank 12.

[0041] During the process of the round sheet 10 gradually passing through the third forming hole 811, a heating pipe 822 is arranged in the second die body 82. The heating pipe 822 is a heating coil pipe. The heating pipe 822 works to heat the second die body 82 and then heat the first cup-shaped body blank 11, which facilitates the formation of the second cup-shaped body blank 12.

[0042] Compared with the multi-stage stretching forming process, this embodiment uses one-stage stretching process, which improves the forming efficiency.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
