[0002] A bike crank is an important component connecting the bike pedal and the bottom bracket spindle, responsible for transmitting the rider's pedal force to the transmission system. The crank is generally made of materials such as aluminum alloy, steel or carbon fiber, and is designed with a certain bend to adapt to the natural movement trajectory of the pedal.
[0003] During the manufacturing process of the crank, the first step is to put the blank into the forging die for preliminary forging and forming, and then carry out subsequent fine processing. For the lower die of the existing crank forging die, the die cavity is relatively shallow. When the upper die presses down multiple times, due to the large impact force, the blank vibrates, and it is necessary for the staff to control the blank beside to prevent it from being misaligned, which is not very convenient to operate. And a deeper die cavity is not convenient for taking out the crank. Therefore, we propose a forging die for a mountain bike crank. Summary of the Utility Model
