Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bearing ring processing technology, specifically to a forging fixture for bearing rings. Background Technology
[0002] Bearing rings are the core load-bearing components of bearings, and their forging fixtures are key equipment for achieving precision forming of the rings. These fixtures are used to form and control processes such as bar cutting, heating, upsetting, pre-forging, final forging, punching, and ring reaming, directly determining the dimensional accuracy, microstructure uniformity, and mechanical properties of the rings. In existing technologies, forging fixtures generally adopt a step-by-step workstation layout. Through the cooperation of mold cavities and components such as punches and mandrels, the plastic forming from cylindrical blanks to ring forgings is completed, which can be used for the mass production of small and medium-sized bearing rings.
[0003] The existing forging fixtures have the following defects: Firstly, the process is fragmented and inefficient: punching and ring reaming are independent processing steps. During the material turnover between workstations, heat is quickly dissipated, which not only leads to uneven temperature of the bearing rings, affecting the accuracy and plastic flow of punching, but also causes redundancy in process connection and extended production cycle time. The overall processing efficiency is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale automated production. Secondly, poor positioning accuracy and insufficient dimensional stability: The punching process lacks a reliable blank positioning structure, and the working zone and rounded corner area of the punch and die are prone to local wear, causing dimensional deviations and resulting in dimensional fluctuations and eccentric defects in the forgings. In addition, existing forging tooling generally lacks a precise guiding mechanism, and hot blanks are prone to displacement and skew in the die cavity, directly causing uneven wall thickness and excessive coaxiality in the forgings. Under high-speed upsetting conditions, the fit clearance between the piercing die and the outer diameter of the ring is extremely small, further exacerbating the positioning difficulty. Eccentricity and excessive wall thickness differences occur frequently, requiring frequent machine stops for adjustment and rework, which reduces production efficiency. Third, the automation adaptability is weak: the existing forging tooling has a low degree of modularity and intelligence, making it difficult to efficiently adapt to high-speed upsetting equipment and automated loading and unloading production lines. It relies too much on manual intervention to complete operations such as billet placement and tooling adjustment, resulting in poor production stability and a high scrap rate, which cannot adapt to the high-efficiency, precision and intelligent development trend of bearing manufacturing.

[0026] In this embodiment, the linkage positioning component 51 includes a positioning slide 511. The top of the positioning slide 511 is inclined. A movable slot for insertion and engagement with the claw-shaped drive component 3 is provided in the center of the positioning slide 511.

[0027] In this embodiment, the hole-expanding twist ring assembly 53 includes a steel sleeve 531 fixedly connected to the lifting screw slide 45.

[0030] Working principle: First, the billet is clamped and placed in the billet placement groove by the feeding robot arm 9. The rotary feeding mechanism 4 is started to rotate and transport the billet to the bottom end of the electromagnetic induction heating sleeve 12. The telescopic electric cylinder 11 is started to push the electromagnetic induction heating sleeve 12 onto the outside of the billet. The electromagnetic induction heating is started by the controller 13 to raise the billet temperature to the temperature required for punching. Then, the heated billet is rotated and transported to the bottom end of the punching press 2 by the rotary feeding mechanism 4. The punching press 2 is started to punch. During this process, when the power output end of the punching press 2 drives the claw-shaped drive 3 to approach the linkage positioning component 51, the bottom end of the claw-shaped drive 3 is inserted into the moving slot. It works with the limit block 513 to slide at the limit rod 514, so that the positioning slide 511 squeezes the spring and drives the outer forming roller 515 to abut against the outer wall of the blank. When multiple positioning slides 511 move towards the center at the same time, they can clamp and position the blank. At this time, the output end of the punching press 2 is aligned with the center position of the blank for punching. Compared with the traditional single-station punching mode without linkage positioning and relying only on manual or simple placement, it can achieve automatic center positioning, avoid defects such as poor coaxiality of the inner hole of the ring and uneven wall thickness caused by punching position deviation and blank eccentricity and skewing. Moreover, the punching action is generated by linkage and no other operation is required, making the operation difficult. It should be noted that when the power output end of the punching press 2 is close to the top of the billet, the high-temperature steam delivery pump 14 is started, so that high-temperature water vapor is sprayed out from the high-pressure atomizing nozzle 6 in the form of high pressure. Its function is to clean the oxide scale on the top of the billet by high pressure purging, so as to avoid the oxide scale causing unevenness of the billet end face, rapid wear of the punch and die working zone, scratches on the surface of the forging, and dimensional deviations during the punching process. This makes the punch end face flat and smooth, extends the service life of the punch and die, and improves the dimensional stability of the forging. After punching is completed, the output end of the punching press 2 is retracted. During this process, the lifting screw slide 45 rises, causing the expanding screw ring assembly 53 to extend from the fixed seat 42. At this time, the top of the steel sleeve 531 abuts against the bottom of the pusher plate 522 and pushes the pusher plate 522 to rotate and unfold around the hinge point. During this process, the waste material at the top of the pusher plate 522 is discharged from the outlet. Automatic material discharge is achieved. After being pushed out, the waste material falls onto the metal conveyor belt 71, completing the waste material output. The linked material discharge method eliminates the need for manual cleaning of punching waste, avoids waste material stagnation in the mold cavity affecting subsequent blank processing, makes the process connection smoother, and eliminates the safety hazards caused by manual intervention. At this time, the output end of the punching press 2 is retracted to the specified height and the retraction action stops, so that the steel sleeve 531 extends into the space inside the hole after punching the billet. Then, the top of the steel sleeve 531 rises into the hole and stops. The built-in hydraulic rod 532 is activated to extend. The extension of the built-in hydraulic rod 532 pushes the support block 533 to abut against the multiple expansion blocks 534. With the limited movement of the slider in the slide groove, the multiple expansion blocks 534 and the inner shaping roller 535 extend out of the outside of the steel sleeve 531 and abut against the inner side wall of the hole in the billet. At this time, the rotary drive motor 43 is activated to drive the steel sleeve 531 to rotate, so that the multiple inner shaping rollers 535 rotate and expand the hole inside the billet block. During this process, the output end of the punching press 2 moves upward and drives the bottom end of the claw-shaped drive 3 to fit against the inclined surface of the top of the positioning slide 511. The spring force pushes the positioning slide 511, which, in conjunction with the inner forming roller 535, rotates and expands the opening inside the blank block, moving synchronously. When the claw-shaped drive 3 completely separates from the positioning slide 511, the positioning slide 511 and the expanding and twisting ring assembly 53 stop moving and expanding, completing the twisting operation on the blank. The electromagnetic heating, punching, unloading, and expanding and twisting ring processes are seamlessly integrated, solving the problems of fragmented punching and twisting / expanding processes and long turnaround times in traditional processing methods. This allows for the completion of bearing ring forging in a short time. This avoids the problem of excessive time spent on billet transfer and connection, which leads to billet cooling and the need for secondary heating before hole expansion and ring twisting. Furthermore, the automated process improves processing efficiency by integrating multiple operations into one step, resulting in a high degree of integration. At the same time, during hole expansion and ring twisting, the cooperation between the hole expansion and ring twisting assembly 53 and the claw-shaped drive 3 achieves the limiting of the outer ring twisting of the billet through the positioning groove. This avoids the problems of uncontrolled hole expansion size, excessive ring ellipticity, excessive radial runout, and excessive wall thickness deviation caused by the lack of ring limiting in traditional processing methods. As a result, the dimensional accuracy of the ring after hole expansion meets the standards, the coaxiality is high, the wall thickness is uniform, and the overall forging qualification rate is improved, eliminating the need for subsequent rework and adjustment.
