Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automobile parts, and more specifically, relates to a straight plate type shift fork forging. Background Art
[0002] The clutch release fork is a key component in the automobile, mainly used to promote the clutch separation between the engine and the gearbox. The driving force of the clutch release fork in heavy vehicles is usually pneumatic or hydraulic, with a large degree of force and an alternating stress. The traditional manufacturing process of this type of fork usually adopts a casting molding method. Due to some casting defects inherent in the casting process itself, such as pores, shrinkage holes and other defects, the strength and durability of the fork are affected. In particular, the proportion of early damage in the clutch release fork of heavy vehicles is relatively high. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a straight plate type shift fork forging to solve the technical problem of poor mechanical performance of the shift fork existing in the prior art.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a straight plate type fork forging, including:
[0005] Body part;

[0007] A fork leg portion, having an open groove formed on the other end of the main body away from the counterbore portion;
[0008] The raised portion is connected to the main body and is located between the countersunk portion and the fork leg portion. The geometric center of the raised portion deviates from the geometric center of the main body and is close to the fork leg portion. The raised portion, the fork leg portion, the countersunk portion and the main body are forged as a whole.

[0030] Please also read Figures 1 to 4, a straight plate shift fork forging provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described. The straight plate shift fork forging includes a main body 101, a countersunk portion 102, a fork leg portion 103 and a raised portion 104. The countersunk portion 102 forms a countersunk hole at one end of the main body 101. In this embodiment, the countersunk hole is used to install the drive rod of the hydraulic drive mechanism. The fork leg portion 103 forms an open groove 131 on the other end of the main body 101 away from the countersunk portion 102. The open groove 131 is used to shift the central speed change wheel. The raised portion 104 is connected to the main body 101 and is located between the countersunk portion 102 and the fork leg portion 103. In this embodiment, the center of the raised portion 104 is used to process the shaft hole to install the rotating shaft. The geometric center of the raised portion 104 deviates from the geometric center of the main body 101 and is close to the fork leg portion 103. The raised portion 104, the fork leg portion 103, the countersunk portion 102 and the main body 101 are forged as a whole.
[0031] According to the above structure provided in the present embodiment, the protrusion 104, the fork leg 103, the countersunk portion 102 and the main body 101 are integrally forged, which can eliminate the inherent defects of the casting or welding process and improve the mechanical properties and durability of the fork. At the same time, the integrally forged fork can better disperse the stress when subjected to force and reduce the possibility of cracks. In addition, the geometric center of the protrusion 104 in the present application deviates from the geometric center of the main body 101 and is close to the fork leg 103, so that the distance from the fork leg 103 to the protrusion 104 can be smaller than the distance from the countersunk portion 102 to the protrusion 104, thereby achieving a labor-saving technical effect; at the same time, the main body 101 adopts a straight plate structure, which simplifies the load-bearing components. On the one hand, it is easy to form during forging and improve the quality of the forging. On the other hand, it improves the stress condition and increases the service life of the fork, which is far superior to the prior art.
[0032] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The main body 101 is provided with a truncated platform 105 on the side away from the counterbore 102, and the truncated platform 105 is coaxially arranged with the counterbore 102. In this embodiment, by adopting the above structure, the truncated platform 105 can be used to increase the bottom wall thickness of the counterbore, thereby effectively improving the connection and disconnection strength of this part.
[0033] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The straight plate type shift fork forging also includes a first edge guard 106, which surrounds the outside of the opening groove 131 along the edge contour of the opening groove 131. In this embodiment, by providing the first edge guard 106, the target part can be effectively prevented from moving relative to the shift fork part, thereby improving the connection reliability between the shift fork part and the target part.
[0034] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The straight plate type shift fork forging also includes a second edge guard 107; the second edge guard 107 is connected to the front end of the first edge guard 106 along the edge contour of the opening groove 131 and is integrally formed with the first edge guard 106. In this embodiment, by providing the second edge guard 107, the second edge guard 107 can be used to effectively improve the mechanical strength of the first edge guard 106, further ensuring the connection reliability between the shift fork and the target part. Further, in another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the thickness of the second edge protection portion 107 is greater than the thickness of the first edge protection portion 106 .
[0035] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , there is a smooth transition between the second edge guard 107 and the first edge guard 106. In this embodiment, by adopting the above structure, the processing stress of the first edge guard 106 and the second edge guard 107 can be effectively reduced, and the formation of edges and corners on the straight plate forging can be avoided, which affects the work of other parts.
[0036] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first edge guard 106 and the second edge guard 107 are arranged obliquely near the slot opening 131. According to the structure provided in this embodiment, the geometric centers of the first edge guard 106 and the second edge guard 107 can deviate toward the fork portion, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the fork portion.
[0037] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A rib plate 108 is provided between the protrusion 104 and the body 101. In this embodiment, by providing the rib plate 108, the connection strength between the protrusion 104 and the body 101 can be improved by using the rib plate 108, so that the straight plate type fork forging provided in this embodiment can be used stably for a long time.
[0038] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , two protrusions 104 are provided and spaced apart. According to the target structure provided in this embodiment, on the one hand, the connection stability between the protrusion 104 and the target structure can be improved; on the other hand, since the protrusion 104 in this embodiment is a symmetrical structure, the material can flow evenly and not deform too much during the forging process of the protrusion 104, thereby preventing the material from cracking or deforming.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
