[0072] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with examples, and it should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like in the text is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0073] The embodiment proposes a gear forging production line, such as Figure 1As shown, the forging process in sequence includes sawing machine 1, pre-furnace conveying belt equipment 2, pre-furnace mechanical arm 3, heating furnace 4, pre-forging mechanical arm 5, forging equipment 6, post-forging mechanical arm 7 and cooling equipment 8.

[0074] Sawing machine 1 is used to cut long cylindrical blank into short cylindrical blank, the short cylindrical blank output by sawing machine 1 is in normal temperature state, no mechanical arm is provided here, the output short cylindrical blank is arranged by manual, and the blanks are placed one by one to pre-furnace conveying belt equipment 2.

[0075] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown, the pre-furnace conveying belt equipment 2 includes support one 203, support two 204 and preheating conveying belt 205, the seat bodies at both ends of the preheating conveying belt 205 are fixed on the support one 203 and the support two 204, and a heating module 206 is arranged above the preheating conveying belt 205, the heating module 206 is used for preheating the short cylindrical blank on the preheating conveying belt 205. Blank preheating can reduce the heating time in the heating furnace 4, and for some materials, rapid heating can cause too large temperature gradient between the surface and the core, which is easy to cause cracking, by preheating, the temperature difference between the blank and the high-temperature furnace can be reduced, so that the blank can be heated more uniformly after entering the high-temperature furnace, thereby reducing the thermal stress caused by the temperature difference between the inside and the outside.

[0076] But preheating also needs to ensure the uniformity of the blank heating, Figure 2 The heating module 206 is arranged above the conveying belt, if the blank is not turned over, it will cause uneven preheating, in view of this defect, the structure is improved in the application. The heating module 206 for preheating adopts an infrared heating module, the infrared heating module 206 is used for directly heating the blank by infrared radiation. Of course, electromagnetic induction heating or resistance heating or nozzle type flame heating and the like can also be used.

The design of the heat preservation fence 208 reduces the loss of radiant heat, and the design of the reflective layer further improves the utilization rate of radiant heat. The design of the cross partition allows only one short cylindrical billet to be placed between two adjacent cross partitions during use, and the short cylindrical billet can only roll back and forth within a small distance between the two cross partitions. In addition, the lifting frequency of the preheating hydraulic cylinder 207 can be adjusted according to actual needs to avoid excessively fast or slow lifting frequency.

The upsetting oil pump 621 is pneumatic, and the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 620 is extracted and filtered through the upsetting filter 624 to reach the upsetting electromagnetic reversing valve 627. The upsetting hydraulic cylinder 610 includes an upper inlet and a lower inlet of the hydraulic oil. After the hydraulic oil enters the upper inlet, the piston rod is pushed out to realize the combination of the movable die 614 and the fixed die 615. After the hydraulic oil enters the lower inlet, the piston rod is retracted to realize the separation of the movable die 614 and the fixed die 615. The upsetting electromagnetic reversing valve 627 is used to control the hydraulic oil to enter the oil pipe 1A or the oil pipe 2A to realize the piston movement of the piston rod. When the pressure of the upsetting oil pump 621 is not enough, the two electric butterfly valves BB can be closed, the preforming oil pump 622 is opened, and the opening and closing of the electric butterfly valve AB1 and the electric butterfly valve AB2 are controlled to share the hydraulic pressure generated by the preforming oil pump 622 to the upsetting hydraulic cylinder 610.

[0084] The hydraulic systems of the three forging presses are independent and are combined through the communication pipes and the electric butterfly valves, which allows to share the hydraulic pressure under certain conditions and increases the flexibility of the hydraulic system. In addition, the arrangement of multiple overflow valves 630 also ensures the safety of the system and prevents damage caused by overpressure.

The conveyor belt uses a metal mesh belt surface with partitions, and a suction duct 803 connected to a suction fan is arranged below the conveyor belt. The cooling fan 802 air-cools the high-temperature gear products on the horizontal linear conveyor belt 801 in the front tank section, and the heat flow (including some dust impurities) generated by air cooling is sucked into the suction duct 803.

[0087] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 13 , the rear tank section includes a horizontal linear conveyor belt 801 and a drying fan 804 located above the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt uses a metal mesh belt surface with partitions, and a liquid receiving groove 805 connected to a liquid discharge pipe is arranged below the conveyor belt. The drying fan 804 dries the liquid gear products on the horizontal linear conveyor belt 801 in the rear tank section, and the liquid blown down by the wind is collected in the liquid receiving groove 805 and discharged.

[0088] As shown in Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the middle section of the tank comprises a plurality of straightly arranged cooling tanks 806 filled with liquid cooling medium, the temperature of the cooling medium in different cooling tanks 806 gradually decreases from the front section to the rear section of the tank, the cooling tanks 806 are provided with a zigzag conveying belt 807, the zigzag conveying belt 807 comprises a downward inclined section connected with the conveying belt in the front section or the last cooling tank 806, a horizontal straight section immersed in the cooling medium in the cooling tank 806, and an upward inclined section connected with the conveying belt in the next cooling tank 806 or the rear section of the tank; the conveying belt in the middle section of the tank is provided with a metal mesh belt surface with a partition.

[0089] The cooling device 8 reduces the dependence on manual experience and effectively prevents the product from being damaged due to rapid temperature change through the conveying system and the staged cooling mechanism, thereby ensuring the product quality.

[0090] Further, as shown in the figure, the cooling tank 806 is provided with a brush 808 in contact with the lower conveying belt. Figure 11 During the process of entering the cooling tank 806 for cooling after the forging part is discharged, the metal mesh conveying belt may be stuck with the oxide skin of the forging part, the stripping machine and some impurities, the brush 808 in contact with the lower conveying belt is arranged, and the brush 808 brushes the belt surface during the movement of the conveying belt, so that the cleanliness of the conveying belt is ensured and the maintenance time is prolonged.

[0091] After the gear product is cooled and dried, it can be manually taken out and transported to the next processing workshop for turning, milling, polishing and oiling processes.

[0092] The above examples are only used to explain the concept of the utility model, and are not limited to the protection of the utility model, and any non-essential changes to the utility model using the concept shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
