DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] according to Figures 1-7 The utility model is described in detail, and examples are given. Figure 1 As shown, a powder metallurgy friction body assembly re-pressing tooling, the friction body bearing mechanism used in the tooling is provided with a positioning mechanism 10 and a sliding mechanism 20, wherein the positioning mechanism 10 is provided at the lower part of the friction body bearing mechanism, and the positioning mechanism is used to provide a stable sliding guide and positioning reference for the sliding mechanism, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the positioning mechanism mainly consists of a pad 11, a guide rail 12, a limit block 18, and a dust block 13. The main body of the positioning mechanism is the pad 11, made of 45# steel with a hardness of 23-28 HRC. A limit block 18 is provided at the front edge of the pad's upper surface in the longitudinal direction. Guide rails 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pad's upper surface in the longitudinal direction. The slide grooves of the two symmetrical guide rails are arranged opposite each other. The guide rails are made of P20 steel with a hardness of 28-32 HRC. A plurality of rectangular grooves 16 are provided in the middle of the pad 11. In this embodiment, there are four of them, arranged in a square. Dust blocks 13 are embedded in the grooves 16. The dust blocks are flat and made of 40Cr steel with a hardness of 50-55 HRC. The surface is chrome-plated. A plurality of grooves 17 are provided on the working surface of the dust block. The grooves can be shallow, allowing friction component materials and dust particles to enter the grooves for automatic collection. Because friction material batching processes are performed at the production site, fine particles of friction material are easily affected by mechanical forces and wind energy, becoming airborne. To prevent fine friction material particles in the air from accumulating on the surface of the dust block during tooling operation, potentially hindering tool movement, a groove 17 is provided on the working surface of each dust block, forming a physical barrier. During tooling operation, contaminants (such as fine particles) that accumulate on the sliding surface can enter the groove 17, effectively preventing the sliding mechanism from becoming sluggish due to dust accumulation. During operation, the dust block is pre-placed within the rectangular groove 16 of the backing plate, with the grooved working surface facing upward. A larger number of grooves and dust blocks can be provided; screw holes are pre-set on the dust block 13 and backing plate 11, allowing the dust block 13 to be secured to the backing plate 11 via screws. The upper end of the screw is lower than the upper surface of the dust block to prevent interference with the re-pressing fixing plate 21.
[0024] The rear portion of the upper surface of the backing plate 11 in the longitudinal direction is the sliding mechanism socket end, which can be inserted into the sliding mechanism 20. The limit block 18, the guide rail 12 and the backing plate 11 can be pre-set with screw holes, and the guide rail 12 and the backing plate 11 can be pre-set with pin holes 19. The guide rail 12 can be positioned with the backing plate 11 by a positioning pin 191, and the guide rail 12 and the limit block can be fixed to the backing plate 11 by screws.
[0025] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the main body of the sliding mechanism 20 is a re-pressure fixing plate 21 made of Cr12MoV steel and having a hardness of 58-62 HRC. The re-pressure fixing plate 21 is arranged above the pad and slides between two symmetrical guide rails. The re-pressure fixing plate 21 is provided with a plurality of re-pressure positioning holes 22. In this embodiment, nine re-pressure positioning holes are arranged in a square array. Strip-shaped height limiting blocks 23 are provided around the upper surface of the re-pressure fixing plate 21. The height limiting blocks are made of Cr12MoV steel and have a hardness of 58-62 HRC. The height limiting blocks 23 can be fixed to the re-pressure fixing plate 21 by screws. The height limiting blocks 23 and the re-pressure fixing plate 21 can be fixed to the re-pressure fixing plate by screws using pre-set screw holes. A "U"-shaped pull rod 24 is provided at the rear end of the re-pressure fixing plate. The pull rod can be made of φ10mm round steel and bent into a "U" shape. The pull rod and the re-pressure fixing plate are fixedly connected by welding to facilitate the push-pull movement of the tooling during the re-pressure process.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, as a further improvement, the multiple grooves 17 set on the working surface of the dustproof block can adopt four cross-shaped grooves, and the horizontal and vertical cross-grooves can be used to better collect friction bodies and dust particles during the re-pressing work.
[0027] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, as a further improvement, two limit screws 15 are arranged in parallel on the upper surface of the pad 11 of the positioning mechanism 10 near the rear, and two limit slots 25 matching the limit screws 15 are arranged in parallel along the sliding direction on the back of the re-pressure fixing plate 21. The rear end of the limit slot 25 is open and connected to the rear edge of the re-pressure fixing plate 21. The length of the limit slot 25 is less than the length of the re-pressure fixing plate 21, so that the limit screw 15 can abut the front end of the limit slot 25. The width of the limit slot 25 is 9mm. The limit slot limits the maximum distance that the re-pressure fixing plate 21 moves backward to prevent the front end of the re-pressure fixing plate from pulling out the pad and derailing and falling.
[0028] As a further improvement, a limiting threaded through hole 14 is set on the base plate 11 near the socket end of the sliding mechanism, and the limiting screw 15 is threadedly connected to the limiting threaded through hole. The screw of the limiting screw 15 is exposed on the upper surface of the base plate, which can facilitate installation and height adjustment.
[0029] Working principle and working process
[0030] The present invention achieves efficient re-pressing through the coordinated work of the positioning mechanism 10 and the sliding mechanism 20: the positioning mechanism provides guidance and limitation for the sliding mechanism: the guide rail 12 ensures the smooth sliding of the sliding mechanism; the limiting block 18 limits the pushing limit position of the sliding mechanism to ensure that the product is at the pressure center of the equipment during re-pressing; the criss-cross groove 17 of the dust block 13 collects particles of friction body component material in the air to avoid sliding jams; the limiting screw 15 cooperates with the limiting slide 25 of the re-pressing fixed plate to prevent the sliding mechanism from derailing. The sliding mechanism realizes safe placement and precise positioning of the product: the nine re-pressing positioning holes of the re-pressing fixed plate 21 ensure that the product is evenly distributed and fixed in position; the height limiting block controls the maximum compression amount during the re-pressing process to ensure the consistency of product height; the "U"-shaped pull rod facilitates the pushing and pulling of the sliding mechanism, so that the product can be taken and placed without having to reach into the working area of the equipment, thereby improving safety.
[0031] During the re-pressing process, the sliding mechanism 20 is first pulled out using the pull rod 24. The nine friction body components to be re-pressed are then sequentially placed into the re-pressing positioning holes 22 of the re-pressing fixing plate 21 of the sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism is pushed in using the pull rod. The equipment is started for re-pressing. After the re-pressing is completed, the sliding mechanism is pulled out using the pull rod to remove the nine re-pressed products. It has been verified that using the new tooling of the utility model to re-press 500 friction body components, each pressing time is approximately 2.5 minutes, and the total process time is approximately 139 minutes. The height difference is between 0.01 and 0.05 mm, and the flatness is ≤0.03 mm. The product dimensions are highly consistent, meeting the product usage requirements. At the same time, the re-pressing efficiency is greatly improved, and the safety hazards of operation and the manufacturing costs are reduced.
[0032] In summary, the purpose of this utility model is achieved.
