Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of railway freight car bogie technology, and in particular to a guide frame rocker seat insert mold. Background Technology

[0002] The guide frame rocker is a key component of the railway freight car bogie. The rocker of the guide frame rocker solves the stability of the railway freight car during the turning process by swinging the guide frame rocker, so as to adapt to complex railway lines and turning radii.

[0003] However, the guide frame rocker seat is made of alloy steel, which has good forgeability, but the forging is large in weight, has a large forming area, and is very thin with severe uneven thickness, resulting in significant cross-sectional variations. It also features four spring support platforms with protrusions of nearly 30mm each, and a trunnion arc area extending nearly 100mm from the center of each end. Currently, the forging difficulties are: 1. Due to the large forming area and the thin and severely uneven thickness, the distribution of the billet metal is highly demanding, as are the fluidity and directionality of the metal during forging. Slight errors can lead to incomplete filling in certain areas. 2. The four protrusions form spring support platforms approximately 30mm high. Because these platforms have a small diameter and a large height, the resistance to metal flow towards the height of the spring support platforms is greatest during forging, preventing the metal from flowing upwards. Forging can only be achieved by squeezing. The pressure causes some metal to flow towards the height of the spring bearing, making it difficult to fill the top of the spring bearing in forging. Secondly, because there is a nearly 100mm protruding trunnion arc area at each end, the billet must ensure sufficient metal for the trunnion forging process, but not too much metal. Otherwise, excess metal will have nowhere to flow, resulting in incomplete forging and an overly thick product. Other parts may not be fully filled due to insufficient metal. Therefore, whether the protruding trunnion arc areas at both ends can be fully filled or properly forged is another challenge in forging. In existing technology, a two-stage heating forming method is generally used: after the first heating, the billet is freely forged on a 2-ton forging machine, and after the second heating, it is finally forged on an 8000-ton friction press. Because a free-forging billet is used, the billet size is difficult to control, and each billet has a different size. This leads to defects such as folding and incomplete filling in some products after final forging on the 8000-ton friction press, resulting in a high scrap rate. Research revealed that folding and missing material defects were mainly concentrated on the end faces of the trunnions at both ends. The reason was that excessive metal was distributed in the trunnion arc area of ​​the billet. During forging, the excess metal in this area had nowhere to flow, causing poor forging and resulting in a severely excessive thickness at the trunnion. Meanwhile, the arc area at the shaft end was not fully filled in the length direction due to insufficient metal flow, easily leading to overlapping and folding during metal flow. This resulted in incomplete filling around the product and on the top surface of the spring support, causing missing material defects. Furthermore, forging different models of guide frame rocker seats required the preparation of multiple types of molds, leading to high mold costs. Additionally, the mold cavities of easily damaged, high-stress areas experienced wear or cracking over time, resulting in substandard guide frame rocker seat forgings that required replacement of the entire mold, drastically increasing manufacturing costs.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in one or more embodiments of this specification should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0030] To facilitate understanding of the guide frame rocker seat insert mold provided in this application embodiment, its application scenario is first explained. The guide frame rocker seat is a key component of a railway freight car bogie, and its swinging motion ensures stability during the turning process of the freight car. It adapts to complex railway lines and turning radii. However, forging different models of guide frame rocker seats requires the preparation of multiple mold models, resulting in high mold costs. Furthermore, for easily damaged parts of the mold subjected to high stress, wear or cracking of the mold cavity after prolonged use leads to substandard finished guide frame rocker seat forgings, necessitating replacement of the entire mold and drastically increasing manufacturing costs. The inventors have researched and improved this process, specifically by using a contour cutting method to remove excess metal from the trunnions at both ends of the billet after free forging. During free forging, the thickness of the billet is strictly controlled to ensure that the four spring supports are fully filled. Based on this, this application provides a guide frame rocker seat insert mold that uses a unified mold base and matches multiple models of insert molds. Smaller insert molds are used to replace those in easily worn areas subjected to high stress, reducing mold costs.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the guide frame rocker seat insert mold provided in this application embodiment includes: a lower mold base 100 and an upper mold base 200; wherein, the upper mold base 200 and the lower mold base 100 in this application adopt the same size, and the upper mold base 200 and the lower mold base 100 are made of ordinary steel, which reduces the material cost of mold base manufacturing, and various models of upper mold inserts and lower mold inserts can be matched through the upper mold base 200 and the lower mold base 100, which has high flexibility and reduces the overall mold development and manufacturing cost.

[0032] Specifically, the lower mold base 100 has a first trapezoidal mounting groove that mates with the lower insert mold 300, and a lower mold pad 110 is fixedly installed inside the first trapezoidal mounting groove. This results in a higher overall fit and installation tightness. A first pressure plate 120 for pressing and fixing the lower insert mold 300 is provided on one side of the first trapezoidal mounting groove. This makes installation and fixing more convenient. The first pressure plate 120 has a wedge-shaped structure and is connected to the lower mold base 100 via a first bolt assembly. This simplifies the overall disassembly and replacement process. Therefore, this application utilizes the first trapezoidal mounting groove on the lower mold base 100 to ensure a tight fit with the lower mold insert, resulting in higher overall stability. Simultaneously, the first pressure plate 120 fixes the lower mold insert to the lower mold base 100, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0033] The upper mold base 200 has a second trapezoidal mounting groove that mates with the upper insert mold 400. An upper mold pad 210 is fixedly installed inside the second trapezoidal mounting groove. This results in a higher overall fit and installation tightness. A second pressure plate 220 is provided on one side of the second trapezoidal mounting groove for pressing and fixing the upper insert mold 400. This makes installation and fixing more convenient. The second pressure plate 220 has a wedge-shaped structure and is connected to the upper mold base 200 via a second bolt assembly. This simplifies the overall disassembly and replacement process. Therefore, this application utilizes the second trapezoidal mounting groove on the upper mold base 200 to ensure a tight fit with the upper mold insert, resulting in higher overall stability. Simultaneously, the second pressure plate 220 fixes the lower mold insert to the upper mold base 200, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a lower insert mold 300 is detachably fixedly connected to the lower mold base 100. A hydraulic ejection mechanism 130 is mounted on the lower mold base 100. An ejection rod assembly that slidably cooperates with the ejection mechanism is mounted on the lower insert mold 300. The lower insert mold 300 is detachably connected to the lower mold base 100 via a first pressure plate 120. The lower insert mold 300 is made of mold steel, possessing high strength and being less prone to damage. The ejection rod assembly in this application includes: a support plate 310 disposed at the bottom of the lower insert mold 300, and an ejector rod 320 connected to the support plate 310. The support plate 310 slides in cooperation with the hydraulic ejection mechanism. The ejector rod 320 can penetrate the top of the lower insert mold 300, facilitating demolding. The support plate 310 has a certain vertical lifting range within the lower mold insert, and facilitates demolding when the hydraulic ejection mechanism 130 rises.

[0035] An upper insert mold 400 is detachably and fixedly connected to the upper mold base 200. An insert fixing plate 410 is fixedly mounted on the top of the upper insert mold 400, and a small insert mold 420 is detachably and fixedly connected to the insert fixing plate 410. The upper insert mold 400 has an installation groove that matches the small insert mold 420, resulting in a higher overall fit. The small insert mold 420 can be replaced in areas of the mold cavity with significant wear or prone to cracking, greatly reducing mold costs. Furthermore, the small insert mold 420 is connected to the insert fixing plate 410 by bolts and fasteners 430, making disassembly and replacement more convenient.

[0036] In this application, by adopting a unified standard upper mold base 200 and lower mold base 100, various models of upper insert molds 400 and lower insert molds 300 can be matched. At the same time, small insert molds 420 can be replaced for areas with large wear of the mold cavity or those prone to cracking, which greatly reduces the mold manufacturing cost and can quickly handle the processing of various forgings.
