[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A flaring die for a wheel rim comprises a forming die 5, the top end of the forming die 5 is fixedly connected to an inner limiting post 6, by arranging the inner limiting post 6, the inner limiting post 6 is close to the inner ring of the rim, which is beneficial to preventing the rim from sinking inward during die-casting, so the bottom end of the forming die 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 4, the top end of the connecting plate 4 is detachably connected to an outer limiting ring 1, the outer limiting ring 1 surrounds the forming die 5 and the inner limiting post 6, and there is a rim thickness between the outer limiting ring 1 and the forming die 5 and the inner limiting post 6, by arranging the outer limiting ring 1, the outer limiting ring 1 is close to the outer ring of the rim, which is beneficial to preventing the rim from bulging outward during die-casting, and by arranging the inner limiting post 6 and the outer limiting ring 1, the wheel can be prevented from sinking inward during die-casting when the die-casting rim is flared. The rim is offset, which improves the movement accuracy and stability of the rim during the expansion process, thereby reducing the size deviation and irregular shape of the rim during die-casting. The bottom end of the outer limit ring 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 11, and the surface of the connecting block 11 is connected to a horizontally slidable connecting plug plate 8. The surface of the connecting disk 4 is equipped with a connecting slot 7 for the connecting plug plate 8 to be embedded. By setting the connecting plug plate 8, when the connecting plug plate 8 is embedded in the connecting slot 7, the outer limit ring 1 is connected to the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 as a whole, which is convenient for die-casting. When the connecting plug plate 8 is moved out of the connecting slot 7, the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 can be moved downward to separate from the outer limit ring 1, which is conducive to the convenient removal of the expanded rim.

[0029] The surface of the connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected with a vertically arranged positioning rod 3, and the bottom end of the outer limit ring 1 is provided with a positioning groove 2 for the positioning rod 3 to be embedded. When the outer limit ring 1 surrounds the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6, the positioning rod 3 is embedded in the positioning groove 2, and the relative position between the outer limit ring 1 and the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 is fixed, which is conducive to ensuring that the gap between the outer limit ring 1 and the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 remains unchanged.

[0030] The surface of the connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the limit slider 10, and the surface of the connecting plug plate 8 is provided with a first sliding groove 9 for the limit slider 10 to slide horizontally. The limit slider 10 slides in the first sliding groove 9, so that the connecting plug plate 8 can be embedded in or removed from the connecting slot 7.

[0031] See also Figures 6 to 9 A stamping mechanism is installed on the top of the outer limit ring 1, and a supporting mechanism is installed on the surface of the outer limit ring 1. The supporting mechanism is used to support the entire mold, and the stamping mechanism is used to stamp the rim on the mold.

[0032] The stamping mechanism includes a hanger 12, a hydraulic telescopic rod 13 and a stamping plate 14. The hanger 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer limit ring 1, the hydraulic telescopic rod 13 is installed on the surface of the hanger 12, and the stamping plate 14 is installed at the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 13. The stamping plate 14 is located between the hanger 12 and the outer limit ring 1. By starting the hydraulic telescopic rod 13 to extend, the stamping plate 14 is driven to press down.

[0033] The supporting mechanism includes a supporting frame 15 and a positioning frame 18. The supporting frame 15 is installed on the surface of the outer limit ring 1. The positioning frame 18 is connected to the surface of the supporting frame 15 by sliding up and down. The positioning frame 18 is used to support the connecting plate 4. The surface of the connecting plug-in plate 8 has a gap to avoid the supporting frame 15 when moving, ensuring that the installed supporting frame 15 will not affect the horizontal sliding of the connecting plug-in plate 8. The horizontal movement of the connecting plug-in plate 8 can be achieved by directly manually pulling the connecting plug-in plate 8 to move, or by using techniques familiar to those skilled in the art to move the connecting plug-in plate 8.

[0034] The surface of the support frame 15 is equipped with a second slide groove 16 for the adjustment frame 18 to move up and down. The surface of the support frame 15 is rotatably connected with a vertically arranged threaded rod 17. The threaded rod 17 movably penetrates the surface of the adjustment frame 18, and the threaded rod 17 and the adjustment frame 18 are threadedly connected. By rotating the threaded rod 17, the adjustment frame 18 can be driven to move up and down along the track of the second slide groove 16. When the connecting plug plate 8 moves out of the connecting slot 7, the adjustment frame 18 can be moved up and down to control the connection plate 4, the forming mold 5, and the inner limit column 6 to move up and down, thereby automatically lifting the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 up and down, which is conducive to solving the problem that manual lifting of the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 is more troublesome. A motor 19 is installed at the top of the support frame 15, and the output end of the motor 19 is coaxially fixedly connected to the threaded rod 17. The threaded rod 17 is driven to rotate by starting the motor 19.

[0035] The specific scheme is as follows: first, the rim is placed between the outer limit ring 1 and the inner limit column 6, and then the hydraulic telescopic rod 13 is started to extend, driving the stamping plate 14 to press the rim down, and the rim is pressed down and passed between the outer limit ring 1 and the forming mold 5, and is expanded and formed by the forming mold 5. After the expansion is completed, the connecting plug plate 8 is manually pulled to move horizontally, so that the limiting slider 10 moves along the track of the first slide groove 9 until the connecting plug plate 8 moves out of the connecting slot 7, and then the motor 19 is started to drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate, so that the adjusting frame 18 moves downward along the track of the second slide groove 16, so that the connecting plate 4, the forming mold 5, and the inner limit column 6 also move downward, and stop when it moves to the point where the rim can be removed from the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6. Then the rim can be removed, and the adjusting frame 18 is raised again, so that the forming mold 5 and the inner limit column 6 move back to the inner ring of the outer limit ring 1 to expand the next rim. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 13 and the motor 19 are selected, conventional selections can be made in the existing technology as needed.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
