Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and more specifically, to a powder metallurgy bearing shaping die. Background Art

[0002] With the development of powder metallurgy technology, its advantages of near-net-shape forming and mass production of complex-shaped parts are gradually being valued. Powder metallurgy is a process of making finished or semi-finished products from metal powder through processes such as pressing and sintering. In the manufacture of powder metallurgy bearings, in order to press the loose powder raw materials into bearing blanks with specific shape, size and density requirements, high-precision shaping dies are necessary.

[0003] The existing powder metallurgy ball bearing processing method generally forms a hollow cylindrical workpiece by pressing powder, then sintering it. The sintered workpiece is placed on a lathe for cutting to produce the spherical outer wall. This not only wastes raw materials, but also requires tooling and clamping time when cutting on the lathe, resulting in relatively low production efficiency.

[0004] After searching, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN114951658A discloses a powder metallurgy spherical bearing extrusion molding die. The structure places the workpiece before extrusion on the upper end face of the lower support sleeve through a manipulator, and then pushes the template downward to drive the upper mold core, upper support sleeve and extrusion mandrel to move synchronously downward toward the fixed template. First, the tapered part of the extrusion mandrel is inserted into the middle hole of the workpiece before extrusion to center the workpiece. The telescopic cylinder drives the extrusion mandrel downward, and the extrusion mandrel expands the inner hole of the workpiece and expands it outward. The upper end face of the lower support sleeve moves downward to the junction of the second hemispherical hole and the second middle through hole. The elastic force of the second spring is equal to the downward extrusion force of the workpiece, thereby completing the extrusion molding of the workpiece.

[0005] However, when this structure is actually used, the upper mold core on the movable mold plate and the mold on the surface of the fixed mold plate cannot be replaced. Only powder metallurgy bearings of specific sizes can be produced, which makes it difficult to meet the diverse needs of the market. Moreover, once the mold is damaged and cannot be replaced, the original mold can only be repaired, which makes maintenance difficult. Utility Model Content

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, smooth demoulding can be effectively achieved, the integrity of the blank is guaranteed and the sealing of the mold is maintained.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a feed hose is provided on the top of the feed frame, a third electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided on one side of the feed frame, a feed platform is fixedly provided on one side of the third electric telescopic rod, two guide grooves are provided on the surface of the feed platform, the limit block is slidably connected to the guide groove, a fourth electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided on the bottom of the feed platform, a guide rod is fixedly provided between the workbench and the support frame, one end of the guide rod passes through the movable plate and extends to the outside of the movable plate, and a support leg is fixedly provided on the bottom of the workbench.

In addition, the guide rod runs through the movable plate to ensure the smooth movement of the movable plate, ensuring the precise matching of the mold, which is conducive to the smooth implementation of the pressing process.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. By providing a replacement mechanism, compared with the existing technology, the lower mold can be removed by unscrewing the bolts, pulling out the T-shaped block upwards, and then pulling out the operating frame along the installation slot.

[0017] 2. By setting up a feeding mechanism, compared with the existing technology, the feeding frame is driven to move left and right by the third electric telescopic rod, and the movement trajectory is accurately limited by the cooperation of the limit block, guide groove and limit groove, so that the feeding frame can be accurately moved from the feeding table to the operating frame, thereby realizing accurate control of the feeding position, ensuring that the metal powder can accurately enter the lower mold cavity according to the predetermined path, and can screen and disperse the metal powder entering the lower mold, so that the powder falls into the cavity more evenly. The uniform powder distribution can ensure uniform pressure everywhere during pressing, thereby making the density of the blank uniform and consistent, which helps to improve the quality of powder metallurgy bearings and improve the overall performance and yield rate of the product.

[0030] Working principle of this utility model:

[0031] The present invention is a powder metallurgy bearing shaping die. When the device is in use, the support legs 26 at the bottom of the workbench 1 ensure that the device can be stably placed on the work site. A support frame 2 is provided on one side of the workbench 1. The support frame 2 is used to install and carry the first electric telescopic rod 3. This structural layout creates a reasonable space and support structure for the subsequent movable plate 4 to drive the upper mold 11 to move up and down. In addition, the fourth electric telescopic rod 24 at the bottom of the feeding table 22 can adjust the vertical height position of the entire feeding table 22, facilitating accurate docking with the operating frame 7, ensuring that the powder enters the mold cavity smoothly and accurately for the pressing operation;

[0032] Then, the feed hose 20 is connected to the external metal powder conveying pipe, so that the metal powder enters the inside of the feed frame 17 through the feed hose 20, and then the third electric telescopic rod 21 is started to drive the feed frame 17 to move in the left and right directions. The movement of the feed frame 17 drives the limit block 16 to move inside the guide groove 23 and enter the inside of the limit groove 15, further accurately defining the movement trajectory of the feed frame 17, so that the feed frame 17 moves from the feed table 22 to the operating frame 7. At the same time, the sealing strip 18 provided at the bottom of the feed frame 17 plays a role. The sealing effect prevents powder from leaking from the gap at the bottom, ensuring a clean working environment and effective use of raw materials. When the feed frame 17 completely covers the lower mold 10, the metal powder falls into the interior of the lower mold 10 through the material-distributing net 19 fixed on one side of the feed frame 17.

Then, the third electric telescopic rod 21 is driven to retract, and the above steps are reversed to drive the feed frame 17 back to the feed table 22 to prepare for the next feeding.

[0033] Then, when the first electric telescopic rod 3 is started to push the movable plate 4 downward, the upper mold 11 will move synchronously with it. At the same time, the guide rod 25 fixed between the workbench 1 and the support frame 2 plays a precise guiding role for the movable plate 4, so that the movable plate 4 can only move smoothly along the vertical direction defined by the guide rod 25, ensuring that the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 10 can accurately match during the pressing process, thereby realizing the pressing of the metal powder placed in the cavity of the lower mold 10;

[0034] After the powder is pressed to form the bearing blank, when the blank needs to be ejected from the lower mold 10 and the upper mold 11, the first electric telescopic rod 3 is started to drive the movable plate 4 to move upward, driving the upper mold 11 to withdraw from the inside of the lower mold 10, and then the second electric telescopic rod 12 is started to drive the top plate 13 to move upward, and the bearing blank is smoothly ejected from the lower mold 10 through the through hole through the top plate 13, achieving smooth demoulding. In addition, a sealing ring 14 is fixed on the outside of the top plate 13 to fit tightly with the through hole, ensuring the sealing of the lower mold 10 during the pressing process;

[0035] When it is necessary to replace the powder metallurgy bearing mold of different specifications and models, just unscrew the bolt 9 and pull out the T-shaped block 8 upwards, thereby driving the T-shaped block 8 to withdraw from the inside of the slot, and then pull out the operating frame 7 along the installation slot 5, thereby driving the lower mold 10 to be removed, and then the new operating frame 7 with the appropriate lower mold 10 is installed back on the workbench 1 according to the above installation steps in reverse. At the same time, the lower mold 10 is fixed in the fixing groove opened on the surface of the operating frame 7 by a threaded connection. If the lower mold 10 is damaged, it can be directly rotated and removed. The upper mold 11 is also threadedly connected to the movable plate 4, which is convenient and quick to operate, and can effectively improve the efficiency of mold replacement when producing products of different specifications.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
