[0002] Large mechanical devices often include ring forgings, which are ring-shaped objects formed by applying external force to a metal billet and shaping it into a ring with appropriate compressive force through plastic deformation.
[0003] As the number of domestic ring rolling mills gradually increases, competitive pressure intensifies. Coupled with the high price of non-ferrous metal raw materials, the existing processing allowance for ring forgings is no longer competitive, and there are no ring forging products on the market that can be manufactured in different diameters.
[0004] To reduce costs, our company provides a ring forging core expansion device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0023] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, providing a clear and complete description of the technical solution in this preferred embodiment.
[0024] A ring forging core expansion device includes a workbench 1, an expansion mold 2 on the top of the workbench 1, a rotary drive mechanism 3 inside the workbench 1, an output end of the rotary drive mechanism 3 connected to a hydraulic base 4, and a multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 disposed inside the expansion mold 2.
[0025] The multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 includes multiple internally connected cylinder bodies 51. The interior of each cylinder body 51 is divided into rodless chambers 511 and multiple rod chambers 512 by multiple pistons 52. Each piston 52 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 53, which extends to the outside of the cylinder body 51 and connects to an expansion plate 54. The bottom of the rodless chamber 511 and the rod chamber 512 are respectively provided with rodless chamber openings 5111 and rod chamber openings 5121. The hydraulic seat 4 has an annular cavity 41 and an L-shaped cavity 42. The annular cavity 41 communicates with the rod chamber opening 5121, and the L-shaped cavity 42 communicates with the rodless chamber opening 5111. The sidewalls of the hydraulic seat 4 are respectively provided with regulating oil passages A43 and B44, which communicate with the annular cavity 41 and the L-shaped cavity 42.
[0026] Specifically, in use, the rolled hot ring forging with insufficient dimensions is placed into the gap between the expanding plate 54 and the expansion die 2. The hydraulic system connects the hydraulic seat 4 to the regulating oil passage A43 and regulating oil passage B44. When oil enters the annular cavity 41 connected to the regulating oil passage A43 and exits the L-shaped cavity 42 connected to the regulating oil passage B44, the telescopic rod 53 in the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the expanding plate 54 to fit against the expansion die 2.
[0027] When oil exits from the annular cavity 41 and enters from the L-shaped cavity 42, the telescopic rod 53 inside the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the expanding plate 54 to retract. Then, the rotary drive mechanism 3 is activated to rotate the hydraulic seat 4 and the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 to the left or right. Then, the expanding plate 54 extends again and fits against the expansion mold 2. The above actions are repeated until the outer wall of the ring forging with a larger diameter completely fits against the expansion mold 2 and the inner wall approaches a circle, thus completing the core expansion.
[0028] Specifically, the expansion mold 2 is annular, and the expansion piece 54 is arc-shaped for fitting the inner wall of the expansion mold 2.
[0029] Specifically, only a 5mm allowance is needed on one side between the expansion mold 2 and the expansion sheet 54. The expansion is transmitted to the hydraulic seat 4 through the hydraulic system to increase the inner and outer diameter of the ring forging to achieve the set size.
[0030] Specifically, a buffer pad 515 is provided at the inner end of the cylinder 51, and a limit ring 521 is fixedly installed on the telescopic rod 53 located between the piston 52 and the buffer pad 515.
[0031] Specifically, the buffer pad 515 prevents the telescopic rod 53 inside the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 from impacting back and forth, which could damage the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5, and the limit ring 521 prevents the telescopic rod 53 from blocking the rod-side cavity 5121 when it moves, thus preventing difficulty in oil inlet and outlet.
[0032] Specifically, the rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a rotary table 31 disposed at the bottom of the hydraulic base 4 and teeth 32 surrounding the side wall of the hydraulic base 4. The rotary table 31 is rotatably connected to the hydraulic base 4 through a linear bearing. A gear 33 matching the teeth 32 is also provided on one side of the hydraulic base 4. The gear 33 is connected to the commutator 34 and the rotary motor 35 in sequence.
[0033] Specifically, the rotary motor 35 and the commutator 34 drive the gear 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the teeth 32 to rotate, thereby causing the hydraulic seat 4 to rotate alternately to the left or right, preventing the oil inlet pipe connected to the regulating oil passage A43 and regulating oil passage B44 from getting tangled.
[0034] Specifically, the annular cavity 41 of the hydraulic base 4 is connected to the rod-side cavity 5121 of the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 via a connecting pipe 6, and the L-shaped cavity 42 of the hydraulic base 4 is connected to the rodless cavity 5111 of the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 via a connecting pipe 6. The connecting pipe 6 has external threads at both ends, and the rod-side cavity 5121, the rodless cavity 5111, and the hydraulic base 4 have internal threads that match the external threads.
[0035] Specifically, the hydraulic base 4 and the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 are connected by the connecting pipe 6, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and the length of the connecting pipe 6 can be adjusted according to the distance between the hydraulic base 4 and the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0036] Specifically, the piston 52 is provided with a sealing ring 522.
[0037] Specifically, the sealing ring 522 improves the sealing performance of the rodless chamber 511 and the rod chamber 512 inside the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0038] Specifically, the workbench 1 has a working window 11, and the hydraulic base 4 is connected to the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 through a connecting pipe 6 passing through the working window 11. The maximum diameter of the working window 11 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the telescopic rod 53 of the multi-directional hydraulic cylinder 5 when it is extended.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
