[0026] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer and more understandable, the following is a summary of the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention. Figure 1-8 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A spoke forming mold comprises an upper mold 1, an upper mold 2, an upper pressure mold 3, a lower mold 4 and a lower mold 5, wherein the upper mold 1 comprises an upper mold base 11, an upper fixed pad 12 and an upper fixed plate 13, wherein the upper fixed pad 12 is arranged at the bottom center of the upper mold base 11, and the upper fixed plate 13 is arranged at the bottom center of the upper fixed pad 12, and the upper mold base 11, the upper fixed pad 12 and the upper fixed plate 13 are fixed by bolts. The upper mold 2 is set at the bottom of the upper fixed plate 13 for lifting and sliding movement, and a plurality of material withdrawal holes 14 are formed on the surface of the upper mold 1. Each material withdrawal hole 14 completely penetrates the upper mold base 11, the upper fixed pad 12 and the upper fixed plate 13, and a material withdrawal rod 21 is passed through each material withdrawal hole 14, and a limiting portion 211 is set at one end of the material withdrawal rod 21, and the limiting portion 211 abuts against the upper mold base 11, and the end of the material withdrawal rod 21 away from the limiting portion 211 is fixed to the upper mold 2, so that the upper mold 2 and the upper mold 1 maintain a lifting and sliding connection.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In the process of forming the spoke, in order to form the center hole in the spoke synchronously. A positioning rod 131 is fixedly arranged at the center of the bottom end of the upper fixing plate 13, and a center hole punch 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the upper fixing plate 13. A positioning hole 61 is formed on the surface of the center hole punch 6. The positioning hole 61 is opened in the vertical direction of the center hole punch 6, and the diameter of the positioning hole 61 opened on the surface of each center hole punch 6 is the same as the diameter of the positioning rod 131. When installing the center hole punch 6, the positioning rod 131 at the bottom end of the upper fixing plate 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 61 of the center hole punch 6, and the center hole punch 6 and the upper fixing plate 13 are fixed by bolts. In this way, the center hole punch 6 and the upper fixing plate 13 are detachably installed, so that different types of center hole punches 6 can be replaced, so that different types of spokes can be formed. A first through hole 22 is formed at the center position of the surface of the upper mold 2, and a second through hole 51 is formed at the center position of the surface of the lower mold 5. The size of the first through hole 22 on the surface of the upper mold 2 and the second through hole 51 on the surface of the lower mold 5 correspond to the size of the center hole punch 6, so that the center hole punch 6 is inserted into the first through hole 22.

[0029] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The lower die 4 includes a lower die seat 41 and a lower pad 42, wherein the lower pad 42 is arranged at the top center of the lower die seat 41, the lower mold 5 is installed on the lower pad 42, and the lower die seat 41, the lower pad 42 and the lower mold 5 are fixed by bolts, so that the lower mold 5 can be detachably installed on the lower pad 42. When it is necessary to form spokes of different types, the lower mold 5 corresponding to the spoke type is selected, and a mounting groove 421 is formed on the surface of the lower pad 42, and a mounting portion 52 is correspondingly formed at the bottom end of the lower mold 5, so that the mounting portion 52 at the bottom end of the lower mold 5 is embedded in the mounting groove 421 on the surface of the lower pad 42, so that the lower mold 5 can be accurately positioned and installed on the lower pad 42. In the spoke forming mold, the bottom surface shape of the upper mold 2 and the top surface shape of the lower mold 5 complement each other, and the bottom surface of the upper mold 2 and the top surface shape of the lower mold 5 match the shapes of the two side surfaces of the spoke respectively. When the spoke to be formed is formed by the spoke forming die, the spoke is positioned on the lower die 5 according to its shape, and the upper die 2 abuts against the spoke under the action of its own weight, thereby facilitating the stamping and forming of the spoke.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8The upper die 3 includes an upper pad 31 and a lower pad 32, both of which are annular. The upper pad 31 is arranged at the bottom end of the upper die seat 11, and the upper pad 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper fixed plate 13 and the upper fixed pad 12. The lower pad 32 is arranged at the bottom end of the upper pad 31, and the lower pad 32, the upper pad 31 and the upper die seat 11 are fixed by bolts. When the lower pad 32 is removed from the bottom end of the upper pad 31, it is convenient to remove and replace the upper die 2 and the middle hole punch 6. Since the circumference of the spoke will rebound after being bent and formed. Therefore, the circumferential surface of the lower die 5 is set to be inclined inward from the top to the bottom, and the inclination angle between the circumferential surface of the lower die 5 and the lower pad 32 is set to C, and the inclination angle satisfies C=3 degrees. As a result, the circumferential side of the spoke is bent and formed to tilt inward, and then rebounds to make the circumferential side of the spoke in a vertical state, so that the formed spoke has better fatigue resistance.

[0031] The specific implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is: when it is necessary to use the spoke forming mold to form the spoke, select the lower mold 5 corresponding to the model of the spoke to be formed and fixedly installed on the lower mold base 41, select the middle hole punch 6 corresponding to the model of the spoke air hole to be formed and sleeve it on the periphery of the positioning rod 131, and sleeve the upper mold 2 on the periphery of the middle hole punch 6 and fix it to the return rod 21. Finally, the upper die 3 can be fixedly installed on the bottom end of the upper die base 11, so that the periphery of the upper die 3 is sleeved on the periphery of the upper fixed pad 12 and the upper fixed plate 13.

[0032] When installing the spoke, lift the ejector rod 21 to raise the upper die 2, install the spoke on the lower die 5, and use the shape of the spoke to achieve positioning and installation between it and the lower die 5. Then the upper die 2 abuts against the spoke under the action of gravity, so as to achieve accurate positioning and installation of the spoke to be formed. As the upper die 1, the center hole punch 6 and the lower die go down, the center hole punch 6 punches the surface of the spoke to form a center hole, and the lower die goes down to bend the circumference of the spoke to fit the circumference of the lower die 5. Then the circumference of the spoke rebounds to maintain a vertical state, so that the formed spoke has better fatigue resistance.

[0033] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all protected by the utility model.
