Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball processing, in particular to a steel ball forming die. Background Technique
[0002] Steel balls are common metal products and are widely used in various industrial fields, such as bearings, automobiles, aerospace, medical devices, etc. Steel balls can be manufactured through processes such as rolling, forging, and heat treatment.
[0003] Rolling is the most common manufacturing process. The steel balls manufactured by rolling have accurate shapes, consistent sizes, and high surface finish, and are suitable for fields with high requirements. The steel balls manufactured by the forging process have strong wear resistance and are suitable for fields that need to withstand high pressure and high strength. Heat treatment can improve the hardness and strength of steel balls, making them more durable. They can also be manufactured through the die-casting process. The die-casting process is a process of injecting molten metal into a mold for solidification and forming. Through the die-casting process, complex-shaped parts can be manufactured and widely used in fields such as automobiles, electronics, and aerospace.
[0004] When the existing steel balls are formed in a die-casting mold, a part of the metal casting liquid will remain at the liquid injection hole, resulting in large burrs on the surface of the cooled and formed steel balls, increasing the subsequent surface treatment work of the steel balls. Moreover, the remaining metal casting liquid will cool and solidify on the mold, affecting the subsequent liquid injection and demolding of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new steel ball forming die to solve this problem. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] To make the technical solutions of the present utility model clearer and more definite for those skilled in the art, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings. However, the implementation manners of the present utility model are not limited thereto.
[0025] As Figures 1-4 shown, a steel ball forming mold provided in this embodiment includes a workbench 1. Mold boxes 2 are symmetrically slid on the top of the workbench 1. Slideways are provided on the inner wall of the mold box 2, and two groups of guide frames 16 are limited and slide in the slideways. The guide frames 16 are used to guide the movement of the steel ball molds so that they can be closed and opened. A third hydraulic rod 9 is provided at the center of the guide frame 16, and a first steel ball mold 7 and a second steel ball mold 11 are slidably installed on the output end of the third hydraulic rod 9;
[0026] A connecting plate is fixed at the top between the mold boxes 2. Fourth hydraulic rods 17 are symmetrically installed in the inner wall of the connecting plate. A first hydraulic rod 5 vertically penetrates through the middle of the connecting plate. A sealing die plug 6 is detachably installed on the output end of the first hydraulic rod 5. The sealing die plug 6 is used to block the feed hole 18 so that the mold forms a complete closed cavity.
[0027] A die withdrawal plug 20 is detachably installed on the output end of the third hydraulic rod 9. Both the sealing die plug 6 and the die withdrawal plug 20 are aligned and sealed and attached to the inner walls of the first steel ball mold 7 and the second steel ball mold 11. The die withdrawal plug 20 can play a role in die withdrawal and at the same time play a role in sealing.
[0028] At the top of the first steel ball mold 7, a feeding hole 18 is also provided. Above the feeding hole 18, a telescopic feeding nozzle 15 is arranged. The top of the telescopic feeding nozzle 15 is of a sleeve structure, and the top of the sleeve structure is connected to a feeding pipe 14. When the first steel ball mold 7 moves, the outer wall of the telescopic feeding hole 18 can be extruded and freely telescoped, which is convenient for adjustment. After injecting the liquid and clamping into the feeding hole 18, the fifth hydraulic rod 21 at the top clamps the feeding pipe 14 made of metal material and pulls it out, without affecting the movement of the first steel ball mold.
[0029] The top of the feeding pipe 14 extends to the outside of the mold box 2. A clamping ring 19 is fixed on the outer wall of the feeding pipe 14. The outer wall of the clamping ring 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fifth hydraulic rod 21. The fifth hydraulic rod 21 is fixed on the top of the mold box 2.
[0030] On the outer wall of one set of guiding frames 16, a pressing plate 10 is fixed. Second hydraulic rods 88 are fixed on the outer wall of the pressing plate 10 and on the outer wall of the other set of guiding frames 16. The second hydraulic rods are bolted to the inner wall of the mold box 2.
[0031] The outer walls of the first steel ball mold 7 and the second steel ball mold 11 are semi-embedded and surrounded by a first heat exchange seat 4 and a second heat exchange seat 12. The tops of the first heat exchange seat 4 and the second heat exchange seat 12 are connected to a liquid cooling circulation tank 3 through a telescopic pipe. A cooling fan is fixed on the top of the liquid cooling circulation tank 3. The heat exchange seats can conduct heat for the molds, accelerating the cooling of the internal injected liquid and completing the shaping of the steel balls. After shaping, the steel balls can freely fall out after the mold is opened, or adhere to one set of molds. At this time, the ejection plug 20 is used to push out the steel balls.
[0032] A blanking hole 13 is provided at the central part of the workbench 1.
[0033] The working principle of this device:
[0034] The first step: Connect to the external power supply and external control device. The feeding pipe 14 is externally connected to a molten metal injection device and quantitatively injects molten metal liquid. When the first steel ball mold 7 is at the liquid injection position, the telescopic feeding pipe 14 is extruded and telescoped into the sleeve by the outer wall of the mold moving to the right, and then springs into the feeding hole 18 when encountering the feeding hole 18. The second hydraulic rod on the left pushes the guiding frame 16, the guiding frame 16, the first heat exchange seat 4, and the second steel ball mold 11 to move horizontally to the right and approach the first steel ball mold 7, and make the two groove-sealed and docked. At this time, a sealed mold cavity is formed inside the first and second steel ball molds. After filling with molten liquid, the fifth hydraulic rod 21, through the action of the clamping ring 19, pulls out the feeding pipe 14 with the telescopic feeding nozzle 15 from the feeding hole 18;
[0035] Step 2: The two groups of second hydraulic rods synchronously move the first and second steel ball molds to the right until the feeding hole 18 is directly below the mold sealing plug 6. The mold sealing plug 6 has the same size as the feeding hole 18, and the bottom structure is smoothly aligned with the inner wall of the first steel ball mold 7. Then, it is pushed into the first steel ball mold 7 by the first hydraulic rod 5 to complete the sealing of the internal molten liquid. The liquid cooling circulation tank 3 circulates the coolant into and out of the first heat exchange base 4 and the second heat exchange base 12 through a telescopic pipeline to cool the first and second steel ball molds, achieving the purpose of cooling and shaping the internal steel balls;
[0036] Step 3: After the shaping is completed, the mold sealing plug 6 is pushed out. The second hydraulic rods 88 on both sides pull the first and second steel ball molds to both sides, and the fourth hydraulic rod 17 pushes the mold box 2 to separate on both sides, so that the shaped steel balls are exposed. The third hydraulic rod 9 pushes the demolding plugs 20 in the inner walls of the first and second steel ball molds forward to push out the internal steel balls, which then fall out from the blanking hole 13 and enter the collection device.
[0037] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and concept of the present invention, makes equivalent replacements or changes, all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
