Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wheel forging, in particular to an aluminum alloy wheel forging die. Background Art
[0002] Wheel forging is a manufacturing method that uses high temperature and pressure to form metal materials into the desired wheel shape. When forging a wheel, the material is heated and placed in the mold of a forging machine. By applying huge pressure, the material is deformed to form a wheel that matches the shape of the mold.
[0003] At present, the Chinese patent application with publication number CN213613907U and publication date July 6, 2021 proposes a forging die for an aluminum alloy wheel with an inwardly concave wheel well. The upper die seat is divided into several parts along the radial direction. The inner side of the upper die seat is provided with a flange that matches the inwardly concave wheel well. The space formed by the inner side wall of the upper die seat, the upper end face of the lower die core and the lower end face of the upper die core constitutes the shape of the blank. The top of the upper base plate is provided with a step groove corresponding to the position of the upper die seat, and a connecting rod is placed in the step groove. The connecting block is stepped and the maximum width of the upper part is greater than the maximum width of the lower part. The connecting block passes through the step groove and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper die base. The upper die base can move along its center line direction; the top and bottom of the upper ejector are cylinders with the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the center hole, and there is a cone between the top and the bottom. A through hole is provided on the upper die core corresponding to the direction of the symmetry axis of the transverse section of the upper die base, and an ejector rod is installed in the through hole. One end of the ejector rod is in contact with the conical surface of the cone, and the other end is in contact with the upper die base.
[0004] When the mold is opened, the power mechanism pushes the upper ejector downward, and the conical surface of the upper ejector presses the ejector rod to move along the radial direction of the mold, ejecting the upper mold base outward along its center line. At this time, the upper mold base can be separated from the wheel blank.
[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, by setting the upper die seat as a split structure and cooperating with the ejector rod, the shape of the upper half of the concave wheel well can be forged. However, the lower half of the rim of the existing wheel is usually also designed with retaining rings and grooves. If the above-mentioned technical solution is used to forge the wheel twice, it will affect the processing efficiency, or if the retaining rings or groove structures on the rim are processed by subsequent processes such as spinning or turning, the workload is large and the efficiency is low. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to realize one-time forging of a retaining ring and a groove structure on the outer peripheral surface of a rim and improve the processing efficiency of the wheel, the utility model provides an aluminum alloy wheel forging die.
[0007] The utility model provides an aluminum alloy wheel forging die, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when forging the blank, the blank is placed on the lower inner die core, and then the lower inner die core and the lower outer die block move downward with the lower ejector until the lower outer die block is completely stuck in the lower die base and is in the minimum diameter position, and then the upper ejector drives the upper die core and the upper outer die block to move downward, and inserts the upper outer die block into the lower die base and presses against the upper surface of the lower outer die base, and the upper inner die core and the lower inner die core forge the blank to shape the blank; wherein when the lower outer die block and the upper outer die block move in the lower die base, the lower outer die block will move along the conical guide structure between the give way groove and the lower outer die block toward the direction close to the lower die core and enter the lower die base, and the upper outer die block will move along the upper outer die block and the lower die base The conical guide structure arranged between them moves toward the direction close to the upper die core and enters the lower die seat; when the blank is forged, the inner circumference of the lower die seat will support the outer circumference of the upper outer die block and the outer circumference of the lower outer die block; when the blank is forged, the lower ejector will first eject the lower die core, the lower outer die block, the upper die core and the upper outer die block upward until the upper die core and the upper outer die block are separated from the lower die seat. At this time, the lower outer die block is located at a position corresponding to the give way groove. Secondly, the upper outer die block and the lower outer die block both move along the radial direction of the blank toward the direction of the original axis to complete the demolding of the outer circumference of the blank. Once again, the upper ejector drives the upper die core to move upward to complete the demolding of the top of the blank. Finally, the blank is clamped away from the lower die core.
[0010] In this way, when the blank is forged, the upper outer die block and the lower outer die block will be inserted into the lower die seat, and the inner circumference of the lower die seat will support the outer circumference of the upper outer die block and the outer circumference of the lower outer die block, thereby reducing the deformation of the upper outer die block and the lower outer die block caused by extrusion during forging, and improving the forging accuracy; and the upper die core is set as the upper inner die core and the upper outer die core, and the lower die core is set as the lower inner die core and the lower outer die core, so that the upper and lower halves of the blank can be shaped from the inside and outside respectively, thereby realizing a one-time forging of the retaining ring and the groove structure on the outer circumference of the rim, and improving the forging efficiency of the wheel.
[0011] Optionally, the first guide structure is a slider arranged above the upper outer mold block and a slide groove arranged on the end surface of the upper mold plate close to the upper outer mold core. The slide groove and the slider are both arranged along the radial direction of the upper outer mold core, and the slide groove is slidably arranged in the slide groove.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper outer module block can slide along the radial direction of the upper outer mold core. When the slider slides along the slide groove toward the upper inner mold core, multiple upper outer module blocks can move along with the slider toward the upper inner mold core. When the slider slides along the slide groove away from the upper inner mold core, multiple upper outer module blocks can move along with the slider away from the upper inner mold core. The arrangement of the slider and the slide groove can guide the upper outer module block as it moves along the radial direction of the upper inner mold core, making the movement of the upper outer module block more stable and reducing the probability of the upper outer module block shifting during movement.
[0013] Optionally, the first guide structure also includes a support portion arranged on the slider and a support groove arranged in the slide groove, the support portion and the support groove are cooperatively arranged, the support portion is slidably arranged in the support groove, and the lower end surface of the support portion abuts against the lower end surface of the support groove.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the slider slides in the chute, the lower surface of the support portion slides on the upper surface of the support groove. The coordinated arrangement of the support portion and the support groove enables the slider to be supported in the chute, thereby supporting the upper outer module. At the same time, the coordination of the support portion and the support groove reduces the possibility of shaking and deviation, making the slider slide more stable in the chute.
[0015] Optionally, the first guide structure further includes an elastic member disposed in the slide groove, and the elastic member has a tendency to cause the upper outer mold block to approach the upper inner mold core.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the elastic member is a thrust spring, one end of the elastic member abuts the end of the chute away from the upper inner mold core, and the other end abuts the end of the slider away from the upper inner mold core; when the elastic member is a tension spring, one end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the end of the chute near the upper inner mold core, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the slider near the upper inner mold core. In this way, the upper outer mold block can move toward the end near the upper inner mold core under the action of the elastic member, helping the upper outer mold block to better enter the lower mold base when it moves downward into the lower mold base.
[0017] Optionally, the second guide structure includes a guide boss arranged in the lower mold base and a guide groove arranged in the lower outer mold block, the guide boss and the guide groove are arranged in a vertical direction in a first direction and in a radial direction of the lower inner mold core in a second direction, and the guide boss is slidably arranged in the guide groove.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove can play a role in guiding the fragrance when sliding in the guide boss, reducing the probability of position displacement or tilting of the lower outer module block during movement, and increasing the stability of the lower outer module block during movement.
[0019] Optionally, a ball structure is further provided on the slider and the guide boss.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball structure can reduce the friction between the end faces of the slider and the guide groove when the slider moves in the guide groove; when the guide boss moves in the guide groove, the friction between the end faces of the guide boss and the guide groove is reduced, making the movement of the upper outer module block and the lower outer module block smoother and more stable.
[0021] Optionally, a first pushing structure is provided on the outer circumference of the upper inner mold core, and a second pushing structure is provided on the inner circumference of each of the plurality of upper outer mold blocks, and the first pushing structure and the second pushing structure are arranged in coordination.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when forging is completed and demolding is performed, the first pushing mechanism cooperates with the second pushing structure to push the upper outer mold block in the horizontal direction away from the upper mold core, thereby separating the inner circumference of the upper outer mold block from the blank to complete demolding.
[0023] Optionally, the first pushing structure is a conical surface arranged at the top of the outer circumferential surface of the upper inner mold core, and the second pushing structure is a conical surface arranged at the top of the inner circumferential surface of the upper outer module block. The conical surface of the first pushing structure and the conical surface of the second pushing structure are both small at the top and large at the bottom. The conical surface of the first pushing structure and the conical surface of the second pushing structure have the same inclination angle and are in contact with each other.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper ejector first drives the upper inner mold core upward, and the upper outer mold block moves away from the upper inner mold core in cooperation with the conical surface of the first pushing structure and the conical surface of the second pushing structure. Since the upper outer mold block can only move in the radial direction of the upper inner mold core, it is horizontally away from the blank, reducing the probability of interference between the upper outer mold block and the blank. In this way, the first pushing structure and the second pushing structure are configured as mutually cooperating conical structures, which can help separate the upper outer mold block from the blank without the need for an additional power structure, simplifying the overall complexity of the mold and facilitating installation and use.
[0025] Optionally, a pushing assembly is further provided between the lower inner mold core and the lower ejector, the pushing assembly including a lifting member and a guide member coaxially arranged with the lower inner mold core, the movable end of the lifting member is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower inner mold core, and the fixed end is connected to the upper surface of the guide member, the lower surface of the guide member is fixedly connected to the lower ejector, the outer peripheral surface of the guide member is provided with a third pushing structure, the inner peripheral surface of the plurality of lower outer module blocks is provided with a fourth pushing structure, and the third pushing structure is coordinated with the fourth pushing structure.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when forging is completed and demolding is carried out, first the lower ejector will lift the lower inner mold core, the lower outer mold block and the pushing assembly upwards until the upper outer mold block is ejected from the lower mold base. At this time, the lower outer mold block will be at a position corresponding to the horizontal height of the clearance groove in the lower mold base. Secondly, the position of the lower ejector will rise again, and the length of the lifting member in the pushing assembly will shrink. In this way, when the position of the lower inner mold core remains unchanged, the position of the guide member will move upward with the position of the lower ejector. The third pushing structure provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide member will cooperate with the fourth pushing structure provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lower outer mold block and move the lower outer mold block away from the lower inner mold core into the clearance groove under the mutual action of gravity. In this way, the lower outer mold block can be moved horizontally along the axial direction of the lower inner mold core, completing the demolding between the lower outer mold block and the blank, and realizing the forging of the upper retaining ring and groove of the lower half of the wheel.
[0027] Optionally, the third pushing structure is a conical surface arranged on the top of the outer circumferential surface of the guide member, and the fourth pushing structure is a conical surface arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the lower outer module block. The conical surface of the third pushing structure and the conical surface of the fourth pushing structure are both small at the top and large at the bottom. The conical surface of the third pushing structure and the conical surface of the fourth pushing structure have the same inclination angle and are in contact with each other.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when the guide member moves upward relative to the upper outer die block, the conical surface of the third pushing structure exerts a force perpendicular to and outward on the conical surface of the fourth pushing structure. This force, combined with the gravity acting on the lower outer die block, causes the lower outer die block to move horizontally along the radial direction of the lower inner die core, away from the lower inner die core. In this way, the conical surface structure can simultaneously move multiple lower outer die blocks horizontally away from the lower inner die core, completing the demolding of the lower half of the blank after forging.
[0029] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0030] The upper inner core and the lower inner core are divided into the inner core and the outer core. When forging the blank, the blank can be forged from both the inside and the outside. At the same time, the upper and lower halves of the blank can be forged plastically at the same time, realizing one-time processing and forming of the wheel and improving production efficiency.
[0031] When the upper outer module block and the lower outer module block move along the radial direction of the upper inner mold core and the lower inner mold core respectively, a guide structure is provided to increase the smoothness of movement of the upper outer module block and the lower outer module block during demoulding, making demoulding smoother.
[0032] By setting a conical structure to control the movement of the upper outer module block and the lower outer module block, multiple outer module blocks can be moved and demolded at the same time during demolding. There is no need to set up additional power mechanisms and control mechanisms, which simplifies the complexity of the device and makes it easier to operate and maintain.

The upper mold core 331 is pressed downwards by the upper mold core 31 and the upper mold base 6 is pressed downwards by the upper mold core 31. The upper mold core 331 is pressed downwards by the upper mold core 31 and the upper mold base 6 is pressed downwards by the upper mold core 31.
[0052] After the forging of the blank is completed, when the material is taken out, the lower ejector 8 will push the pushing component 74, the lower inner mold core 71, the lower outer mold core 72, the upper inner mold core 31, the upper outer mold core 32, the upper die base 2, the upper template 1 and the upper ejector 4 upward at the same time until the upper inner mold core 31 and the upper outer mold core 32 are ejected from the lower die base 6. Secondly, the upper ejector 4 moves upward, and the upper outer mold block 321 is pushed by the first pushing structure 311 and the second pushing structure 322 along the opposite direction of the slide groove 332, horizontally away from the upper inner mold core 31 in the radial direction of the upper inner mold core 31, completing the demoulding of the outer peripheral surface of the upper half of the blank. Again, the upper ejector 4 drives the upper template 1, the upper die base 2, the upper inner mold core 31 When the forging is complete, the cam 721 is pushed away from the bottom of the mold and the upper outer mold core 32 is moved upward again to complete the demolding of the inner circumference of the upper half of the blank. At the same time, the lower ejector 8 pushes the lower outer mold block 721 to a position corresponding to the horizontal height of the clearance groove 61, and the lower ejector 8 pushes the lifting member 741 upward while contracting, so that the height of the lower inner mold core 71 and the lower outer mold block 721 remains unchanged, and the lower outer mold block 721 is squeezed by the third pushing structure 743 and the fourth pushing structure 722 of the guide member 742, and moves horizontally along the radial direction of the lower inner mold core 71 away from the lower inner mold core 71 to complete the demolding of the outer circumference of the lower half of the blank. The forging completed blank can be clamped away from the lower inner mold core 71 using a clamp to complete the entire demolding.
[0053] To sum up, the present application divides the upper inner mold core 31 into the upper inner mold core 31 and the upper outer mold core 32, and divides the lower inner mold core 71 into the lower inner mold core 71 and the lower outer mold core 72. When forging the blank, the blank can be forged from both the inside and outside sides, and the upper and lower halves of the blank can be forged plastically at the same time. When demolding, the upper outer mold block 321 and the lower outer mold block 721 are moved horizontally along the radial directions of the upper inner mold core 31 and the lower inner mold core 71 respectively, reducing the probability of interference and collision between the lower outer mold block 721 and the upper outer mold block 321 and the blank, realizing one-time processing and forming of the wheel, improving production efficiency, and by setting multiple conical structures for guidance and push separation, the mold does not need to be set up with an additional power mechanism when demolding, reducing the complexity of the device and making it easier to operate.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
