Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, specifically to a cold heading forming device for a set bolt for a passenger car steering gear. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, the demand for dedicated set bolts for passenger car steering gears is increasing, requiring high precision, high strength, and good reliability. Traditional processing methods, such as machining, have low material utilization and low production efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0003] The cold heading process generates significant impact forces, which are transmitted to other components of the equipment through the die holder. Excessive impact and vibration can cause fatigue damage to various parts of the cold heading machine, such as the machine body, crankshaft, and connecting rods. Under long-term impact loads, the fatigue strength of these components decreases, making them prone to cracks and fractures, thus shortening the overall service life of the equipment. Therefore, we have proposed a cold heading forming device for set bolts specifically designed for passenger car steering gears. Utility Model Content

[0007] The reinforcing component includes a first groove formed on the top of the bracket, a push block slidably connected in the first groove, a connecting arm connected between the push block and the mold base, a rack provided on the top of the bracket near the first groove, a gear provided on the top of the bracket near the rack, a fixed shaft connected to the gear, a rotating cylinder connected to the top of the fixed shaft, a raised strip provided on the rotating cylinder, and a support plate provided on the top of the bracket near the rotating cylinder, the support plate also having a raised strip.
[0008] Furthermore, a spring sheet is provided inside the support plate, and a protruding strip on the support plate is connected to the spring sheet. The fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the bracket, and the gear is meshed with the rack.

The limiting block is connected to the rack, and a connector is provided between the rack and the first slide groove.
[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a limiting component, the rack is limited during its movement to prevent it from deviating from its original movement trajectory.
[0012] Furthermore, the support is provided with a cold forging assembly, which includes a top plate, a hydraulic cylinder is provided at the top of the top plate, a connecting plate is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and a punch is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate.
[0013] The above technical solution involves setting up a cold heading assembly to apply pressure to the metal billet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation in the mold cavity, thereby forming the head shape of the set bolt.
[0014] Furthermore, a stabilizing component is provided on the top side of the bracket near the connecting plate. The stabilizing component includes a guide post, the hydraulic cylinder is slidably connected to the guide post, and a limiter is provided on the top of the guide post.

[0018] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a drainage assembly, which includes a drain pipe and a solenoid valve is provided on the drain pipe.
[0019] The above technical solution involves setting up a drainage component to discharge the cooled water.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] In this invention, by setting up buffer and reinforcing components, the impact force during the cold heading process is buffered and controlled, resulting in more uniform and stable deformation of the billet within the mold. This improves the forming quality of the product and solves the problem of excessive impact force generated during cold heading, which is transmitted to other parts of the equipment through the mold base. Excessive impact force and vibration can cause fatigue damage to various components of the cold heading machine, such as the machine body, crankshaft, and connecting rod. Under long-term impact loads, the fatigue strength of these components decreases, making them prone to cracks and fractures, thus shortening the overall service life of the equipment.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cold heading forming device for a special set bolt for a passenger car steering gear, including a bracket 1, a mold base 2 disposed on the top of the bracket 1, a die 11 disposed on the top of the mold base 2, and further including:
[0038] The buffer assembly 5 includes a spring 51 connected to the bottom of the mold base 2, the spring 51 being connected to the top of the bracket 1, and a damper 52 being provided inside the spring 51.
[0039] The reinforcing component 3 includes a first slide groove 33 on the top of the bracket 1, a push block 32 slidably connected in the first slide groove 33, a connecting arm 31 connected between the push block 32 and the mold base 2, a rack 34 on the top of the bracket 1 near the first slide groove 33, a gear 35 on the top of the bracket 1 near the rack 34, a fixed shaft 36 connected to the gear 35, a rotating cylinder 37 connected to the top of the fixed shaft 36, a protruding strip 39 on the rotating cylinder 37, a support plate 38 on the top of the bracket 1 near the rotating cylinder 37, a protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38, a spring piece inside the support plate 38, and the protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38 connected to the spring piece, the fixed shaft 36 rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 1, and the gear 35 meshing with the rack 34.
[0040] A cold forging assembly 8 is provided on the support 1. The cold forging assembly 8 includes a top plate 81. A hydraulic cylinder 82 is provided on the top of the top plate 81. A connecting plate 83 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 82. A punch 10 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 83.
[0041] Specifically, the metal material is first placed in the die 11. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 82 is activated to lower the connecting plate 83. The connecting plate 83 drives the punch 10 to extrude the metal material in the die 11. During the extrusion process, the spring 51 at the bottom of the die holder 2 and the internal damper 52 provide initial buffering of the impact force. Subsequently, when the die holder 2 slides down under the impact force, it will drive the push block 32 to slide in the first slide groove 33 through the connecting arm 31. The push block 32 will drive the rack 34 to move. The rack 34 drives the gear 35 to rotate. The gear 35 drives the fixed shaft 36 and the top rotating cylinder 37 to rotate. The protruding strip 39 on the rotating cylinder 37 will collide with the protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38. During the collision, the protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38 will be squeezed into the support plate 38 by the spring sheet, further enhancing the buffering effect.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown: A cooling component 6 is provided on the top of the support 1. The cooling component 6 includes a water tank 61, a conduit 63 is connected to the water tank 61, and a water pump 62 is provided on the conduit 63. A housing 64 is provided on the top of the mold base 2. The conduit 63 is connected inside the housing 64. After extrusion molding, the water pump 62 is turned on to introduce the cold water in the water tank 61 into the housing 64 through the conduit 63, so that it can contact the outer wall of the die 11 and remove heat.
[0043] The above solution also has the problem that the trajectory of rack 34 may deviate during its movement, such as... Figure 2 As shown: A limiting component 4 is provided on the top side of the bracket 1 near the rack 34. The limiting component 4 includes a second slide groove 41. A limiting block 42 is slidably connected in the second slide groove 41. The limiting block 42 is connected to the rack 34. A connecting piece 43 is connected between the rack 34 and the first slide groove 33. During the movement of the rack 34, the limiting block 42 will be driven to slide in the second slide groove 41 in sync, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the rack 34.
[0044] The above solution also has the problem that the punch 10 may wobble during the stamping process, such as... Figure 2 As shown: A stabilizing component 9 is provided on the top side of the bracket 1 near the connecting plate 83. The stabilizing component 9 includes a guide post 91, a hydraulic cylinder 82 is slidably connected to the guide post 91, a limiting member 92 is provided on the top of the guide post 91, and the connecting plate 83 slides on the guide post 91 to limit the position of the punch 10.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown: A drainage assembly 7 is provided on the outer casing 64. The drainage assembly 7 includes a drain pipe 71 and a solenoid valve 72 is provided on the drain pipe 71. After cooling is completed, the solenoid valve 72 is opened to discharge water with heat from the drain pipe 71.
[0046] like Figures 1-4As shown: First, the metal material is placed in the die cavity 11. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 82 is activated to lower the connecting plate 83. The connecting plate 83 drives the punch 10 to extrude the metal material in the die cavity 11. During the extrusion process, the spring 51 at the bottom of the die base 2 and the internal damper 52 provide initial buffering against the impact force. Subsequently, when the die base 2 slides down under the impact force, it will drive the push block 32 to slide in the first slide groove 33 through the connecting arm 31. The push block 32 will drive the rack 34 to move. During the movement of the rack 34, it will simultaneously drive the limit block 42 to slide in the second slide groove 41, thereby controlling the rack 34. The movement trajectory of 4 is limited. The rack 34 drives the gear 35 to rotate. The gear 35 drives the fixed shaft 36 and the top rotating cylinder 37 to rotate. The protruding strip 39 on the rotating cylinder 37 will collide with the protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38. During the collision, the protruding strip 39 on the support plate 38 will be squeezed into the support plate 38 by the spring sheet, further enhancing the buffering effect. After extrusion molding, the water pump 62 is turned on to introduce the cold water in the water tank 61 into the outer shell 64 through the conduit 63, which contacts the outer wall of the die 11 to remove heat. Finally, after cooling, the solenoid valve 72 is turned on to discharge the hot water from the drain pipe 71.
