Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal forging technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum forging device. Background Technology

[0002] Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal billets, causing them to undergo plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, shapes, and dimensions. Forging can eliminate defects such as casting porosity generated during the smelting process and optimize the microstructure. At the same time, because it preserves the complete metal flow lines, the mechanical properties of forgings are generally superior to those of castings made of the same material. Important parts in related machinery that are subject to high loads and harsh working conditions are mostly made of forgings, except for simpler shapes that can be made of rolled plates, profiles, or welded parts.

[0003] Currently, Chinese Patent CN215392291U discloses a forging apparatus for aluminum forgings used in automobiles. It includes a base, and further includes: a support column fixedly mounted on the base, with a forging box fixedly mounted at the end of the support column; a clamping mechanism fixedly disposed inside the forging box, the clamping mechanism including an adjustment component and a drive component for driving the adjustment component; an intermittent forging component fixedly mounted inside the forging box for providing support force to the aluminum forging; and an intermittent forging component fixedly disposed on the side of the forging box opposite to the support component for reciprocating forging of the aluminum forging. The "Automotive Aluminum Forging Device" provides support for aluminum forging through the forging table 4 during operation. The height of the forging table 4 can be changed through the telescopic component 5, so the forging surface of the aluminum forging can be adjusted by lowering the height of the forging table 4. However, in actual operation, the forging table 4 is supported by the telescopic component 5, and the weight of the forging table 4 itself and the reciprocating punching force generated by the forging plate 23 are all borne by the telescopic bearing of the telescopic component 5. Long-term operation can easily cause damage to the telescopic component 5, and frequent replacement of the telescopic component 5 will lead to an increase in equipment maintenance costs.

Two clamping and flipping units 2 are installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the equipment frame 1, and the clamping and flipping units 2 are connected to a lifting mechanism. A forging component for reciprocating forging of the workpiece is provided on the top of the equipment frame 1.

[0020] In use, the aluminum part to be forged is placed on the upper surface of the forging table 12, and the clamping and flipping unit 2 is driven to clamp and limit the aluminum part, thereby improving the stability of the aluminum part during forging. The aluminum part is reciprocated through the forging assembly. When the aluminum part needs to be flipped for forging, the lifting mechanism drives the clamping and flipping unit 2 to lift the aluminum part. After the aluminum part is lifted into place, the clamping and flipping unit 2 controls the aluminum part to flip and adjust the forging surface.

[0021] This utility model, by setting up a clamping and flipping unit 2, can adjust the clamping position according to the specifications of the aluminum forging, and flexibly adjust the forging surface of the aluminum material through the cooperation between the clamping and flipping unit 2 and the lifting mechanism, thereby improving the working efficiency and practicality of the equipment; the four support columns 11 are distributed in a rectangular shape to provide stable support for the forging table 12 and ensure the working stability of the equipment.

[0022] The clamping and flipping unit 2 includes a lifting base plate 20 connected to the lifting mechanism and a rotary cylinder 21 disposed on the lifting base plate 20.

Each second slider 31 is connected to a lifting base 32. The lifting base plate 20 is fixedly connected to the lifting base 32. Two mounting side plates 4 are correspondingly disposed on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the mounting base plate 3. A positioning screw 40 is rotatably connected between the two mounting side plates 4. The lifting base 32 has a threaded seat 41 adapted to the positioning screw 40 on the side near the mounting base plate 3.
