Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial design technology, and specifically relates to a forging mold for stainless steel flange forgings. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel flanges are a type of general-purpose stainless steel flange, widely used in the manufacture of equipment and components requiring good overall performance (corrosion resistance and formability). Flanges are also called flange discs or flanges. Flanges are parts that connect shafts to each other, used for connecting pipe ends; there are also flanges used on equipment inlets and outlets for connecting two pieces of equipment, such as speed reducer flanges. Flange connections or flange joints refer to detachable connections that consist of flanges, gaskets, and bolts connected together as a combined sealing structure.
[0003] Pipe flanges are flanges used for piping in pipeline installations. When used on equipment, they refer to the inlet and outlet flanges of the equipment. Flanges have holes, and bolts are used to tightly connect two flanges. A gasket is used to seal between the flanges. Flanges are classified as threaded flanges, welded flanges, and clamp flanges. Flanges are always used in pairs. Low-pressure pipelines can use threaded flanges, while welded flanges are used for pressures above 4 kg. A gasket is placed between two flange plates, and then bolts are used to tighten them. Flanges of different pressures have different thicknesses, and the bolts used are also different. When pumps and valves are connected to pipelines, these equipment parts are also made into corresponding flange shapes, which is also called flange connection.
[0004] However, after traditional flange forging is completed, the forged part needs to be pried off manually to ensure uniform separation of the flange from the die cavity. Prying can easily cause the edge of the die cavity to crack. In addition, the frequent impact of the press during the pressing process can easily cause the die to deform and the probability of abnormal die damage is high. In order to solve the problems mentioned above, we propose a forging die for stainless steel flange forging. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forging die for stainless steel flange forgings, which has the advantages of convenient unloading and pressure protection.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a forging mold for stainless steel flange forgings, including a lower mold, a push rod that is slidably sleeved through and connected to the center of the bottom of the lower mold, a pulley that is bolted to the bottom of the push rod, a wheel rail that is slidably connected to the bottom of the pulley, a moving block that is provided at the bottom of the wheel rail, a cylinder that is bolted to the front of the limiting block, a spring A that is sleeved on the surface of the cylinder output end, a protective edge that is welded to the top of the surface of the lower mold, and a protective mechanism that is provided at the top of the protective edge.
[0007] The above technical solution involves the cylinder retracting forward, causing the moving block to move, the pulley moving along the upward path of the moving block, the wheel rail limiting the movement of the pulley, the pulley rising and causing the ejector rod to rise, ejecting the forging, and the ejector rod directly lifting the forging. When the cylinder extends and retracts backward, the moving block moves backward and the ejector rod moves downward. Spring A can alleviate the mechanical fatigue of the cylinder, eliminating the need for manual prying. The flange and the die cavity are evenly separated, avoiding edge cracking of the die cavity caused by traditional prying, preventing surface scratches or dimensional deviations due to skew, improving the yield rate, reducing the contact time between the high-temperature forging and the die, reducing the risk of surface oxide layer peeling, and achieving significant improvements in efficiency, quality, and cost control through mechanical optimization of the bottom unloading mechanism.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the protective mechanism includes an upper mold, the upper mold is located at the top of the protective edge, a heat insulation plate A is provided on the top of the upper mold, springs B are bolted to the four corners of the top of the heat insulation plate A, a damper is sleeved inside the springs B, and a sleeve is bolted to the top of the springs B.
[0009] The above technical solution employs a protective mechanism. The press rod of the press is fixedly connected to the sleeve. When the sleeve is pressed down, the spring B contracts, pressing down the upper die to press the forging. When the sleeve moves upward, the spring B rebounds. The damper limits the spring's rebound, and the spring B drives the upper die to move upward, absorbing the instantaneous impact force of the pressing die, reducing the peak pressure on the die, reducing the risk of die surface crushing, dispersing the instantaneous pressure of the press, avoiding die deformation caused by frequent impacts, ensuring uniform filling of the die cavity with metal, reducing defects such as folding and incomplete filling, improving the yield rate, reducing the probability of abnormal die damage, and decreasing the frequency of production line shutdowns due to die failure.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a base is bolted to the bottom of the cylinder, a slider is bolted to the bottom of the moving block, and a groove is provided in the middle of the top rear end of the base, and the interior of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the slider.
[0011] The above technical solution uses sliders and grooves to limit the movement of the moving block.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the rear end of the top of the moving block is configured as an upward path.
[0013] The above technical solution allows the pulley to move and rise by setting up an upward path.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that support legs are bolted to the four corners of the base, a base plate is bolted to the top of the support legs, and the bottom of the surface of the top rod passes through the center of the top of the base plate and is slidably sleeved.
[0015] The above technical solution, by setting up support legs and a base plate, can stabilize the lower mold.
[0016] The present invention is further provided that the inner wall of the protective edge is provided with a convex edge.
[0017] The above technical solution involves setting a raised edge to place the upper mold.
[0018] The present invention is further provided with heat insulation plate B at the bottom of the lower mold and the top of the base plate.
[0019] The above technical solution involves installing heat insulation board B to protect the base plate from high temperatures.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting block is bolted to the front end of the top of the movable block.
[0021] The above technical solution, by setting a limit block, can prevent the pulley from slipping.
[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. This utility model directly lifts the forging with a push rod, eliminating the need for manual prying. The flange and the die cavity are evenly separated, avoiding the edge cracking of the die cavity caused by traditional prying. It also prevents surface scratches or dimensional deviations caused by skew, improving the yield rate. It can reduce the contact time between the high-temperature forging and the die, reducing the risk of surface oxide layer peeling. Through the mechanical optimization of the bottom unloading mechanism, significant improvements are achieved in efficiency, quality and cost control.
[0024] 2. This utility model absorbs the instantaneous impact force of the molding die, reduces the peak pressure on the die, reduces the risk of die surface crushing, disperses the instantaneous pressure of the press, avoids die deformation caused by frequent impacts, and allows the metal to fill the die cavity evenly, reducing defects such as folding and incomplete filling, improving the yield rate, reducing the probability of abnormal die damage, and decreasing the frequency of production line shutdowns due to die failure.
