[0019] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0020] In the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom" and the like indicate positions or location relationships based on the attached Figure 4 or Figure 5 or Figure 6 The orientation or position relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0021] Traditional upsetting tools such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, it includes a cylindrical drain plate body 1, and a through hole 2 is set in the center of the drain plate body 1 along its axial direction, and the through hole 2 is a cylindrical through hole. There is a certain difference between the aperture of the through hole 2 and the diameter of the clamp handle 5, so that the clamp handle 5 can be placed in the through hole 2 when the material is erected. After the upsetting is completed, in order to facilitate the material removal, the clamp handle 5 is often suspended in the through hole 2 of the drain plate body 1 without contacting the bottom. This design of upsetting method leads to obvious material leakage at the root of the clamp handle 5 when the blank 4 is upset.
[0022] The weight of the material leaked from the traditional upsetting tooling is heavy, resulting in a reduction in the utilization rate of the ingot body and a reduction in the amount of ingot nozzle end removal, which not only wastes materials, but also causes the problem of unstable weight of the leaked material affecting the quality of product flaw detection. In addition, if the length of the clamp handle 5 is improperly set, the clamp handle 5 will swell in contact with the bottom surface during the upsetting process, or the through hole 2 of the leak plate body 1 will crack due to long-term use. During the upsetting process, the clamp handle 5 is easy to squeeze into the crack, and the clamp handle 5 will completely fill the tooling through hole 2 and the crack, which can easily cause the workpiece to get stuck in the tooling, increase the demoulding time, and make it impossible for the subsequent process to proceed normally.
[0023] In order to overcome the obvious material leakage defect of the traditional roughing tooling, the utility model improves the traditional roughing tooling to form the following Figure 4 , Figure 5 or Figure 6 The forging forming upset tool with a clamp handle shown in the figure comprises a cylindrical leaking disc body 1, and a through hole 2 is provided in the center of the leaking disc body 1 and penetrates along its axial direction. Different from the traditional through hole, the through hole 2 of the upset tool disclosed in the utility model is a stepped hole, which comprises a cylindrical hole 21 at the bottom, a tapered hole 22 with a draft angle in the middle, and an annular terrace hole 23 with an angle at the top along the axial direction. The annular terrace hole 23 gradually retracts from the top to the bottom along the axial direction; the diameter of the cylindrical hole 21 is smaller than the bottom diameter of the tapered hole 22, and a transition plane 24 is formed between the top of the cylindrical hole 21 and the bottom of the tapered hole 22.
[0024] The through hole 2 is a stepped hole, so that the bottom end face of the clamp handle 5 contacts the transition plane 24 at the bottom of the tapered hole 22 during upsetting, replacing the traditional clamp handle suspended upsetting, thereby preventing the blank at the root of the clamp handle from flowing downward to form leakage, thereby achieving the effect of reducing leakage.
[0025] In order to facilitate the removal of the pliers handle 5 after roughening, the draft angle of the tapered hole 22 is α, 3°≤α≤7°.
[0026] In order to facilitate the workpiece to stand up before upsetting and control the transition surface between the blank and the clamp handle after upsetting to be an inclined surface, the angle β between the annular platform hole 23 and the top plane of the tooling is 4°≤β≤6°.
[0027] The diameter and length of the tapered hole 22 are designed according to the shape of the steel ingot, which is convenient for the operator to clamp. The difference between the diameter of the tapered hole 22 and the diameter of the clamp handle 5 is about 100 mm, so that the clamp handle 5 can quickly and effectively put the material into the tapered hole 22 during upsetting. The length of the clamp handle 5 is determined according to the weight of the clamp handle 5 to fill the tapered hole 22 after upsetting.
[0028] The function of the cylindrical hole 21 at the bottom is to avoid the formation of a completely enclosed space inside the tooling during the upsetting process, which would pose a safety risk, and at the same time facilitate the removal of iron oxide scale or debris.
[0029] The diameter of the cylindrical hole 21 is d1, d1=(0.4-0.6)×d2, and d2 is the bottom diameter of the tapered hole 22.
[0030] In order to further reduce leakage, the height of the leakage disc body 1 is H, and the depth of the cylindrical hole is h, where h=(0.1-0.2)H.
[0031] In order to prevent stress concentration caused by excessive sharpness during the upsetting process, which may lead to the risk of cracking of the blank, the connection between the annular platform hole 23 and the tapered hole 22 is rounded; the connection between the bottom end face of the tapered hole 22 and the inner wall of the tapered hole 22 is rounded; the connection between the bottom end face of the tapered hole 22 and the cylindrical hole 21 is rounded.
[0032] In order to facilitate hoisting, a hoisting countersunk hole 3 is provided on the outer side wall of the drain pan body 1 .
[0033] The upsetting method for forging forming using the upsetting tool with a clamp disclosed in the utility model is as follows:
[0034] Step 1: Use a hoisting device such as a crane to place the forging forming upsetting tool with a clamp disclosed in the utility model on an upsetting platform.
[0035] Step 2: Take out the steel ingot blank 4 with the pre-pressed clamp handle 5 from the heating furnace, turn the blank 4 over so that the clamp handle 5 is facing downward, and put the clamp handle 5 into the tapered hole 22 of the forging forming tool with the clamp handle, and place it on the transition plane 24, that is, Figure 5 or Figure 6 As shown, the bottom end surface of the clamp handle 5 contacts the transition plane 24. Then, the blank 4 is aligned by forging equipment to avoid the problem of the blank 4 being skewed during the upsetting process.
[0036] Step 3, use forging equipment to upset the blank 4. During the upsetting process, the circumference of the bottom of the clamp handle 5 is first bulged. During the bulging process, the outer surface contacts the inner wall of the tapered hole 22 of the upsetting tool with the clamp handle forging, restricting the flow of the bottom metal blank. As the upsetting continues, the contact area between the outer surface of the clamp handle 5 and the inner wall of the tapered hole 22 increases, resisting the downward flow of the blank, thereby reducing leakage.
[0037] Example: The steel ingot used for a certain forging is 240 tons, and the size of the pre-pressing clamp is φ1400mm×1300mm.
[0038] According to the size of the blank with the band clamp, the style and dimensions of each part of the upsetting tool disclosed in the utility model are designed as follows: a cylindrical through hole d1=700mm at the bottom, a tapered hole with a draft angle α=5° in the middle, and a toroidal platform with an angle β=6° at the top. α helps to remove the blank from the tool after the upsetting is completed.
[0039] The bottom diameter d2 of the tapered hole is determined according to the diameter of the pliers handle, d2=1450mm.
[0040] The outer diameter dimension of the roughing tool used for forging with a clamp handle is D = (2.5~3) × d2 = 1450mm × 2.55 = 3700mm.
[0041] The tooling height H = (0.9 ~ 1) × L = 0.967 × 1500mm = 1450, the cylindrical hole depth h = (0.1 ~ 0.2) × H = 0.14 × 1450mm = 200mm.
[0042] The inverted R of the connection between the upper part of the cylindrical hole and the upper and lower parts of the tapered hole are R=50, R=100, and R=150 respectively.
[0043] When the steel ingot blank is upset by the upsetting tooling designed as above, the bottom circumference of the clamp handle 5 is first bulged. During the bulging process, the outer surface of the clamp handle contacts the inner wall of the conical hole of the tooling, restricting the flow of the bottom metal blank. As the upsetting continues, the contact area between the outer surface of the clamp handle 5 and the inner wall of the conical hole increases until the clamp handle material completely fills the conical hole, and the steel ingot blank is deformed again. Since the clamp handle 5 is in full contact with the inner wall of the conical hole, the force of the ingot body to expand and deform downward during upsetting is supported, so that the ingot body blank no longer flows to the clamp handle, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the shape of the blank and reducing leakage during upsetting. After upsetting is completed, the conical hole has a draft angle, which facilitates the removal of the blank. It is observed that the leakage at the root of the clamp handle is almost zero, achieving the purpose of reducing leakage during upsetting.
[0044] Comparative example: The ingot shape of the steel ingot is 240 tons, and the size of the pre-pressing clamp is φ1400mm×1300mm. The traditional upsetting plate with an inner hole diameter of φ1520mm is used for upsetting. The upsetting length is about 300mm, and the weight of the upsetting is about 4.27 tons, accounting for 1.8% of the weight of the steel ingot.
