Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of powder metallurgy mold technology, specifically relating to a powder metallurgy high-density gear forming mold. Background Technology

[0002] Existing powder metallurgy gear forming typically employs molds, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the mold design generally includes one middle die, one upper punch, one lower punch, and one mandrel. During gear forming, the gear is completely surrounded by the upper punch, middle die, lower punch, and mandrel, forming a relatively closed space. The upper and lower punches simultaneously apply pressure to the gear, forcing it to undergo plastic deformation. The middle die constrains the outward tendency of the gear material due to the upward and downward pressure. After forming, the upper punch retracts first, and the lower punch, under the action of upward force, forcibly ejects the part from the lower end face of the middle die cavity. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this process, since the gear component is a single gear, the upper and lower punches directly form the tooth surface, and the upper punch presses the part into the inner cavity of the middle die. Because the upper and lower punches are integral flat structures, the part is mechanically squeezed along its entire length in the straight cylindrical middle die, and the part itself will undergo plastic deformation. Because the existing molds have integral planar structures for the upper and lower punches, they can only improve the overall density of the part and cannot press the teeth separately. Furthermore, the pressing area is large, making it difficult for the machine to press, and the density of the teeth cannot be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0011] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. By setting the upper punch to be divided into upper first punch and upper second punch, and the lower punch to be divided into lower first punch and lower second punch, the problem of large pressing area can be effectively solved, the pressing force of a single punch can be reduced, and the pressing efficiency can be improved.

[0013] 2. The pressing blocks of the upper and lower punches correspond to the gear teeth, and can pressurize the gear teeth separately, which can further improve the tooth density.

[0014] 3. The toothed and non-toothed parts of the mold can be separated for individual repair, reducing maintenance costs and time. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the gear component 9 to be manufactured in this embodiment is mainly used in the gearbox of power tools. As a planetary transmission gear, the part itself needs high density and strength. The gear component 9 includes a gear body 91, a gear rim 92 and gear teeth 93. The gear body 91 is provided with a shaft hole 901. The shaft hole 901 is a circular hole located at the center of the gear body 91. The gear rim 92 is located on the outer ring of the gear body 91. The gear teeth 93 include multiple teeth. The multiple teeth are distributed in a ring array on the outer circumference of the gear rim 92. The gear body 91, the gear rim 92 and the gear teeth 93 are integrally connected and formed.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the powder metallurgy high-density gear forming mold of this embodiment is used to form the gear part 9. The mold includes an upper punch 1, an upper second punch 2, a middle mold 3, a lower punch 4, a lower second punch 5 and a mandrel 6. The middle mold 3 is generally frustum shaped. The middle mold 3 has a tooth-shaped mold cavity 301 for forming the gear part 9 at the center position. The upper punch 1 and the upper second punch 2 enter the tooth-shaped mold cavity 301 from the top, and the lower punch 4, the lower second punch 5 and the mandrel 6 enter the tooth-shaped mold cavity 301 from the bottom. The upper punch 1 is provided with a first pressing block 11, which is used to press on the front side of the gear part 9. The first pressing block 11 includes a first ring body 111 and a first gear ring 112. The first ring body 111 corresponds to the wheel rim 92. During forming, the first ring body 111 presses on the front side of the wheel rim 92. The first gear ring 112 corresponds to the wheel tooth 93. During forming, the first gear ring 112 presses on the front side of the wheel tooth 93. The upper punch 1 is provided with a first through hole 101, which extends from the upper end face of the upper punch 1 to the lower end face and also passes through the first pressing block 11. The upper second punch 2 is provided with a second pressing block 21, which passes through the upper punch 1 through the first through hole 101. The second pressing block 21 is a hollow cylinder. The second pressing block 21 is provided with a third through hole, the inner diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the mandrel 6. The second pressing block 21 is used to press on the front side of the wheel body 91. The next punch 4 is provided with a third pressing block 41, which is used to press on the back of the gear part 9. The third pressing block 41 includes a second ring body 411 and a second gear ring 412. The second ring body 411 corresponds to the rim 92 and is pressed on the back of the rim 92 during forming. The second gear ring 412 corresponds to the gear teeth 93 and is pressed on the back of the gear teeth 93 during forming. The next punch 4 is provided with a second through hole 401, which extends from the lower end face of the next punch 4 to the upper end face and also passes through the third pressing block 41. The next punch 5 is provided with a fourth pressing block 51, which is used to press on the back of the gear body 91. The fourth pressing block 51 passes through the next punch 4 through the second through hole 401. The fourth pressing block 51 is a hollow cylinder and is provided with a fourth through hole. The inner diameter of the fourth through hole corresponds to the outer diameter of the mandrel 6. The mandrel 6 is used to form the shaft hole 901. The mandrel 6 passes through the lower second punch 5 and the lower punch 4 from bottom to top and then continues to pass through the gear part 9, thereby forming the shaft hole 901 on the wheel body 91. The mandrel 6, which passes through the shaft hole 901, enters the second pressing block 21 through the third through hole.

[0028] When the gear part 9 is formed, the lower end face of the first pressing block 11 is flush with the lower end face of the second pressing block 21, and the upper end face of the third pressing block 41 is flush with the upper end face of the fourth pressing block 51, thereby pressing the metal powder in the tooth mold cavity 301 into the gear part 9. The rear ends of the upper punch 1, upper second punch 2, lower punch 4, and lower second punch 5 are all connected to the press. When the upper punch 1 and upper second punch 2 move toward the front of the gear part 9, the lower end face of the first pressing block 11 is located behind the lower end face of the second pressing block 21. When the lower punch 4 and lower second punch 5 move toward the back of the gear part 9, the upper end face of the third pressing block 41 is located behind the upper end face of the fourth pressing block 51. By adjusting the stroke of the upper punch 1 and the lower punch 4, the amount of powder filling in the area corresponding to the gear tooth 93 in the tooth mold cavity 301 can be increased. Then, a second pressing can be performed to press the area of ​​the gear tooth 93 again, thereby increasing the tooth density.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
