Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a mold for processing limit bolts, and more particularly to a cold heading mold for limit bolts. Background Technology
[0002] A limiting bolt is a new type of metal fitting, characterized by a thin, sheet-like limiting plate at its end, which secures the bolt during installation. Currently, manufacturers process limiting bolts by first forming a block-shaped cap at the bolt end, then cold-forging the cap directly into the mold cavity to obtain a limiting plate structure of specified thickness and size. However, this method has a drawback: due to the thinness of the limiting plate, the flowability of the cap area during cold forging is relatively reduced. This can lead to the cap not completely covering the edges of the mold cavity during cold forging, resulting in edge defects in the formed limiting plate.
[0003] Based on the above, if the bolt cap is first flattened to form a limiting piece using a cold heading die, and then the outer ring of the limiting piece is cut off, it is easy to cause deformation and damage to the limiting piece at the cut point. Furthermore, the outer ring of the limiting piece is prone to sticking onto the cold heading die after being cut off, making it impossible to remove, thus reducing its stability. Due to these process limitations, it is currently difficult for manufacturers to achieve cold heading of limiting bolts. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cold heading die for a limit bolt. It enables the cold heading of the limit bolt.

A second movable mold cavity is formed between the second movable mold cores for cold heading the end of the bolt blank. A step groove for forming a stepped portion is provided in the second movable mold cavity.
[0011] In the aforementioned cold heading die for a limiting bolt, the third fixing die includes a third fixing die frame, one end of which is fixedly connected to a cutting block, the inner side of which is slidably connected to a third fixing die core, the inner side of which is connected to the third fixing die frame via a second elastic element, the inner side of which is slidably connected to a third extension rod, and a third fixing die cavity for fastening and limiting the bolt blank is formed between the third extension rod and the third fixing die core, and a cutting groove for the pressure block to extend into is formed between the cutting block and the third fixing die core.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following characteristics:
[0014] (1) Through the structural cooperation of the first cold heading module, the second cold heading module and the third cold heading module, this utility model can first extrude the end of the bolt blank from a cylindrical shape into a block shape, then perform secondary processing on the block structure to form a thin sheet shape with a stepped part, and finally cut off the stepped part of the edge of the thin sheet to form a limiting piece of a specified size; under the above cooperation, on the one hand, the forming effect of the limiting piece can be improved, and on the other hand, the step part can be used to improve the cutting effect of the third cold heading module on the limiting piece, that is, reduce the possibility of deformation and damage to the cut surface;
[0015] (2) Based on the above, by limiting the structure of the third movable mold, when the pressure block cuts the stepped part of the bolt blank, the stepped part will be sleeved on the outside of the pressure block as the pressure block extends in; and when the pressure block moves and resets with the third movable frame, the drive block can push the push rod, so that the drive block overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element and drives the push plate to push outward, thereby using the push plate to separate the stepped part sleeved on the outside of the pressure block, thus ensuring the continuous working stability of this utility model; furthermore, through the structural cooperation of the drive rod and the limiting surface, the limiting surface can also push out with the translation of the drive rod, so that this utility model can realize the pushing and resetting action of the push plate by relying only on the translation of the third movable mold, thus reducing the equipment cost of this utility model;
[0016] (3) By using the structural cooperation of the first movable mold core and the pressure rod in the first movable mold, when the end of the bolt blank is cold-forged, the first movable mold core and the first fixed mold core can first form a closed cavity by mutual contact, and then the end of the bolt blank can be deformed in the closed cavity by the extrusion of the pressure rod, thereby effectively preventing the end material from overflowing from the gap between the first movable mold core and the first fixed mold core during the deformation process, and improving the deformation effect of its end structure;
[0017] Therefore, this utility model can realize the cold heading of the limiting bolt. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The third fixed mold 5 includes a third fixed mold frame 24. A cutting block 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the third fixed mold frame 24. A third fixed mold core 26 is slidably connected to the inner side of the cutting block 25. The inner side of the third fixed mold core 26 is connected to the third fixed mold frame 24 via a second elastic element 27, which can be a compression spring. A third extension rod 28 is slidably connected to the inner side of the third fixed mold core 26.

[0035] The drive block 14 has a drive rod 29 that is slidably connected to the third movable frame 7 on one side. One end of the drive rod 29 extends to the outside of the third movable frame 7. The third movable frame 7 has a limiting surface 30 on the side away from the third fixed mold 5 for limiting and pushing the drive rod 29.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the bolt blank is first processed by the first fixed mold 1 and the first movable mold 2. Under the pressure of the pressure rod 20, the end of the bolt blank changes from a cylindrical shape to a block structure. After cold heading by the first cold heading mold, the bolt blank enters the second cold heading mold. The end of the bolt blank undergoes secondary cold heading through the cooperation of the second fixed mold 3 and the second movable mold 4, causing the block structure at the end to be compressed by the second movable mold core 22 into a thin sheet structure with steps. After processing by the second cold heading mold, the bolt blank enters the third cold heading mold. The cooperation of the pressure block 8, the cutting block 25, and the third fixed mold core 26 cuts off the steps on the outside of the bolt blank, pressing the bolt blank along with the end limiting piece into the cutting groove. The annular step, after being cut, is then fitted onto the outside of the pressure block 8.
[0037] After the third movable mold 6 completes the cutting action, it retracts towards the limiting surface 30. During the retraction of the third movable mold 6, the limiting surface 30 presses against the drive rod 29, causing the drive rod 29 to exert an outward pressing force on the ejector rod 11 via the drive block 14, thereby ejecting the ejector rod 11 towards the third fixed mold 5. After ejection, the ejector rod 11 drives the pusher plate 9 to perform a synchronous ejection action via the transmission rod 12, and the pusher plate 9 removes material from the annular step sleeved on the outside of the pressure block 8 after ejection. When the third movable mold 6 moves back towards the third fixed mold 5, the rebound action of the first elastic element 13 can drive the pusher plate 9 and the drive rod 29 to move and reset respectively, thereby ensuring the subsequent working stability of the third movable mold 6.
