[0045] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 8 This application is described in further detail.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application discloses a helical gear forging die with a trimming function.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A helical gear forging die with trimming function comprises a pier seat 1, a die sleeve 2 fixed on the pier seat 1 and a punch 3, the inner space of the die sleeve 2 is a forming die cavity 201, a first groove 203 is provided at the top of the inner side surface of the die sleeve 2, the bottom of the first groove 203 is an upwardly inclined inclined surface for forming a blade 204 at the end, and by providing the first groove 203 with the blade 204, the upper waste edge of the blank can be automatically cut off by the blade 204 during the forging or demolding stage, without the need for subsequent secondary processing, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency;

[0049] And / or, a convex ring 102 is fixed on the top of the pier 1, and the inner wall of the convex ring 102 is an inclined surface inclined toward the outside, and a second groove 205 for accommodating the convex ring 102 is opened at the bottom end of the inner side surface of the mold sleeve 2.

[0050] Preferably, by Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the blade 204 is lower than the top surface of the die sleeve 2. During the forging process, the top edge of the blank will gradually extend outward, and the first groove 203 can squeeze the extended waste edge. During the forging or demolding stage, the upper waste edge of the blank can be automatically cut off by the blade 204.

[0051] Preferably, by Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the top surface width of the convex ring 102 is equal to the groove width of the second groove 205, that is, there is no gap between the mold sleeve 2 and the pier seat 1, and the inner edge of the top end of the convex ring 102 can reliably transition to the lower edge of the inner wall of the mold sleeve 2, further avoiding the generation of waste edges at the bottom end of the blank.

[0053] And / or, a lower air permeable micropore 101 is opened on the pier 1, and the lower air permeable micropore 101 is used to discharge the air in the forming cavity 201 from the bottom to avoid the air being unable to be discharged and affecting the forging forming.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Depend on Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a trimming mechanism 4 is also included, and the trimming mechanism 4 is fixed to the top of the circumferential surface of the die sleeve 2 for cutting off excess scrap. When the top scrap of the blank is not completely cut off, the trimming mechanism 4 is used to perform trimming again.

[0056] Specifically, by Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the trimming mechanism 4 includes: a retaining frame 44 and a cutting mechanism 47. The retaining frame 44 is rotatably mounted on the mold sleeve 2, and the cutting mechanism 47 is fixed on the retaining frame 44 to cut off excess waste edges. The rotation of the retaining frame 44 drives the cutting mechanism 47 to perform a circular motion, thereby being able to cut off excess waste edges.

[0057] Further, by Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 47 includes: a fixed plate 473, a knife holder 471, a cutting tool 472 and a hydraulic cylinder 474. The fixed plate 473 is fixed on the retaining frame 44, the knife holder 471 is movably connected to the fixed plate 473, the cutting tool 472 is fixed on the knife holder 471, and the cutting tool 472 is a triangular tool. The hydraulic cylinder 474 is fixed on the fixed plate 473, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 474 passes through the fixed plate 473 and is fixedly connected to the knife holder 471. The hydraulic cylinder 474 is started, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 474 is used to push the knife holder 471 to move, so that the cutting tool 472 passes through the waste edge. Through the rotation of the retaining frame 44, the cutting tool 472 is driven to make a circular motion, which can cut off the excess waste edge.

[0058] Preferably, by Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide rod 475 penetrating through the fixing plate 473 is fixed on the knife seat 471 for guiding the knife seat 471 to improve the stability of the knife seat 471 .

[0059] Optionally, by Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the trimming mechanism 4 also includes: an annular guide rail 41, an outer gear ring 42, a driving gear 45, a driving motor 46, an adapter plate 48 and a guide wheel 49. The annular guide rail 41 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the mold sleeve 2, and guide grooves 411 are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular guide rail 41. The outer gear ring 42 is supported and fixed on the annular guide rail 41 by a support column 43. The driving gear 45 is rotatably installed in the retaining frame 44 and meshes with the outer gear ring 42. The driving motor 46 is fixed on the retaining frame 44 to drive the driving gear 45 to rotate. The adapter plate 48 is fixed to the end of the retaining frame 44. Two guide wheels 49 are symmetrically distributed and rotatably arranged on the adapter plate 48, and the two guide wheels 49 are respectively embedded in the corresponding guide grooves 411. The driving motor 46 is started to drive the driving gear 45 to rotate. Under the meshing action, when the driving gear 45 rotates, it will make a circular motion along the outer circumference of the outer gear ring 42 and drive the retaining frame 44 to rotate.

[0060] It should be noted that the drive motor 46 and the hydraulic cylinder 474 are both conventional commercially available equipment with built-in power switches. Technical personnel in this field can make routine selections according to usage requirements. Their working principles are common knowledge known to technical personnel in this field and have been fully disclosed in the prior art, so they will not be elaborated in this article.

[0061] The implementation principle of the helical gear forging die with trimming function in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, the blank is first upset to become a bar of suitable size;

[0062] The bar is placed in the forming die cavity 201, and the punch 3 is driven by the press machine to move in the vertical direction to forge the bar;

[0063] After forging, there are two commonly used demoulding methods. One is to eject the blank from the bottom, and the other demoulding method is to first use a mechanical fixed die sleeve 2, and lift the die sleeve 2 away from the pier 1, and then use a pressure machine to drive the punch 3 downward to push the blank out through the punch 3. This embodiment adopts the second demoulding method;

[0064] By providing the first groove 203 with the blade 204, the upper scrap edge of the blank can be automatically cut off by the blade 204 during the forging or demoulding stage, without the need for subsequent secondary processing, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency;

[0065] The convex ring 102 can squeeze the outer edge of the lower end of the blank to prevent the bottom end of the blank from generating waste edges;

[0066] In addition, if the blade 204 does not completely cut off the upper scrap edge of the blank, the hydraulic cylinder 474 uses the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 474 to push the knife seat 471 to move, so that the cutting tool 472 passes through the scrap edge, and starts the drive motor 46 to drive the driving gear 45 to rotate. Under the meshing action, when the driving gear 45 rotates, it will make a circular motion along the outer circumference of the outer gear ring 42, and drive the retaining frame 44 to rotate. Through the rotation of the retaining frame 44, the cutting tool 472 is driven to make a circular motion, which can cut off the excess scrap edge.

[0067] Finally, a few points should be explained: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, which may refer to mechanical connection or electrical connection, or internal communication between two components, or direct connection.

In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other;
