Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cold extrusion molding dies for outer diameter precision reduction, and specifically relates to a cold extrusion molding die for outer diameter precision reduction. Background Technology
[0002] The outer diameter shrinking cold extrusion forming die is a type of die used in metal processing. It is mainly used to plastically deform metal billets at room temperature through extrusion, thereby obtaining parts with precise outer diameter dimensions and good surface quality. The die typically consists of a punch, a die, a guide device, a positioning device, and a stripping device. During operation, the metal billet is placed in the die, and the punch moves downward under the action of the press, applying high pressure to the billet, causing it to radially shrink and axially flow within the die, thus achieving the shrinking forming of the outer diameter. This type of die has advantages such as high production efficiency, high part precision, good surface quality, and high material utilization, and is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing industries.
[0003] When using a cold extrusion die for outer diameter reduction, there is intense friction between the die and the blank. At the same time, the plastic deformation of the metal also generates a lot of heat, causing the die temperature to rise continuously. Thermal stress accumulates continuously, and prolonged exposure to high temperatures will degrade the performance of the die material, leading to thermal fatigue phenomena such as cracks and accelerated wear on the die surface, which greatly shortens the service life of the die. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an outer diameter shrinking cold extrusion forming die to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, during use, there is strong friction between the die and the blank, and the plastic deformation of the metal also generates a lot of heat, causing the die temperature to rise continuously and thermal stress to accumulate. Under long-term high temperature conditions, the performance of the die material will decline, leading to thermal fatigue phenomena such as cracks and accelerated wear on the die surface, which greatly shortens the service life of the die.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cold extrusion forming die for outer diameter reduction, comprising a punch, guide posts at the four corners of the upper end of the punch, water outlet and water inlet at the lower ends of the left and right ends of the punch, sloped flow layers at the left and right sides of the inner side of the punch, the two sloped flow layers leading to the water inlet and water outlet respectively, flow pipes at the front and rear sides of the punch, the sloped flow layers communicating with the flow pipes, an alloy steel forming surface layer installed at the upper end of the punch, a medium carbon steel bearing layer at the upper end of the alloy steel forming surface layer, a low alloy support layer at the upper end of the medium carbon steel bearing layer, threaded holes A at the four corners of the upper end of the low alloy support layer, the medium carbon steel bearing layer and the alloy steel forming surface layer, a long bolt installed inside the threaded hole A, and a through hole at the lower end of the outer wall of the long bolt.
[0006] Preferably, the installation of the low-alloy support layer, the medium-carbon steel bearing layer, and the alloy steel forming surface layer constitutes a concave mold structure, and the installation of the concave mold and the punch constitutes a complete forming mold.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cold extrusion forming die for outer diameter reduction, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The mold is placed horizontally on the cold extrusion press with the water inlet at the top. Cooling water is added to the sloped flow layer through the water inlet at the top. The cooling water flows through the sloped flow layer to cool the top of the punch. The cooling water continues to flow into the flow pipes on both sides, cooling the left and right sides of the punch. The continuing cooling water enters the sloped flow layer at the bottom and is finally discharged through the water outlet. In this way, the mold can be cooled while it is working, so that the mold is in normal working condition.

The medium-carbon steel bearing layer maintains the stability of the multi-layer structure, and the low-alloy support layer ensures the strength of the mold. Through the splicing and modular structure, it is convenient to replace parts after wear. Attached Figure Description

Guide posts 9 are positioned at the four corners of the upper end of the punch 1. Water outlet holes 12 and water inlet holes 8 are respectively provided at the lower ends of the punch 1. Sloping flow layers 13 are provided on the left and right sides inside the punch 1, leading to the water inlet holes 8 and the water outlet holes 12 respectively.

A long bolt 3 is installed on the inner side of the threaded hole A11. A through hole 10 is provided on the outer wall of the long bolt 3 at the lower position.
[0026] The mold is installed on a cold extrusion press. The metal billet to be processed is placed inside the core of punch 1. The extruder pushes the pressure ring through the piston, causing the workpiece to undergo plastic deformation under the constraint of the mold. The outer diameter is reduced under the control of the mold core and forms the set size. After completion, the ejection mechanism is started to eject the formed part from the mold.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the installation of the low-alloy support layer 4, the medium-carbon steel bearing layer 5, and the alloy steel forming surface layer 6 constitutes a concave mold structure. The installation of the concave mold and the punch 1 constitutes a complete forming mold. A threaded hole B15 is provided at the outer end face of the alloy steel forming surface layer 6.

[0028] The die is divided into a low-alloy support layer 4, a medium-carbon steel bearing layer 5, and an alloy steel forming surface layer 6. The alloy steel forming surface layer 6 withstands high pressure and friction, and the modular structure design facilitates maintenance and replacement. The medium-carbon steel bearing layer 5 maintains the stability of the multi-layer structure, and the low-alloy support layer 4 ensures the strength of the die.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, caps 7 are installed on the outer sides of the water inlet 8 and the water outlet 12.

The flow pipes 14 guide the cooling water to the slope flow layer 13 on the other side.
[0030] The mold is placed horizontally on the cold extrusion press. At this time, the water inlet 8 is located at the top. Cooling water is added to the slope flow layer 13 through the water inlet 8 at the top. The cooling water flows through the slope flow layer 13 to cool the top of the punch 1. The cooling water continues to flow into the flow pipes 14 at both sides and flows along the flow pipes 14 to cool the left and right sides of the punch 1. The cooling water continues to flow into the slope flow layer 13 at the bottom and is finally discharged through the water outlet 12.
