Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, and in particular to a cold heading mold for core rod nail heads. Background Technology
[0002] Cold heading is a metal forming process that uses cold plastic deformation. It is mainly used to manufacture fasteners or other shaft parts with complex structures and high precision requirements. Compared to traditional machining methods such as turning and milling, which require multiple steps, cold heading can directly form complex structures by applying high pressure to wire through a die. Traditional cutting processes result in a material utilization rate of only 25% to 35%, while cold heading can achieve over 85%, significantly reducing raw material consumption.
[0003] Cold heading dies are core tools in metal plastic forming. They withstand ultra-high pressure at room temperature, extruding wire at high speed into fasteners or other parts through a precision cavity. Existing cold heading dies lack venting structures. During the metal extrusion process, some air cannot escape, resulting in insufficient filling of the precision cavity with metal material. Consequently, the surface of the cold-headed parts has defects and fails to meet process requirements. When cold heading blind rivets, the deformation at the rivet head is not uniform, and the material filling is insufficient, leading to the rivet head dimensions not meeting requirements.
[0004] In addition, the existing cold heading dies have a short lifespan. After a period of cold heading operation, the machine needs to be stopped to replace the cold heading dies, which not only seriously affects production efficiency but also increases the cost of die consumption, leading to an increase in the overall production cost of fasteners.
[0005] In view of this, based on years of experience in production and design in this and related fields, the inventor has designed a cold heading mold for core rod nail heads through repeated experiments in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cold heading mold for core rod nail heads, which can effectively eliminate surface defects at the core rod nail heads.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a cold heading forming mold for core rod heads. The mold includes an outer sleeve, an upper mold core, and a lower mold core. The outer sleeve has an axially penetrating assembly cavity. The upper mold core and the lower mold core are both embedded in the assembly cavity and are interference-fitted with the outer sleeve. The upper mold core has an axially penetrating first cavity, and the lower mold core has an axially penetrating second cavity. The inner diameter of the second cavity is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cavity. The lower mold core abuts against the upper mold core, and the inner edge of the end of the lower mold core protrudes from the inner wall of the upper mold core, forming a first limiting step.
[0008] As described above, in the cold heading die for core rod heads, the outer sleeve has a first outer sleeve body and a second outer sleeve body. The first outer sleeve body has a first through cavity that extends axially. The first through cavity includes a first segment and a second segment. The inner diameter of the first segment is smaller than the inner diameter of the second segment and forms a second limiting step. The second outer sleeve body passes through the second segment and abuts against the second limiting step. The second outer sleeve body has a second through cavity that extends axially. The upper die core is embedded in the first segment and has an interference fit with the first outer sleeve body. The lower die core is embedded in the second through cavity and has an interference fit with the second outer sleeve body.
[0009] In the cold heading mold for core rod nails as described above, there is a gap between the outer wall of the second outer sleeve and the inner wall of the first outer sleeve.
[0010] As described above, in the cold heading mold for core rod heads, the inner diameter of the second outer sleeve is smaller than the inner diameter of the first segment, the inner edge of the end of the second outer sleeve protrudes from the inner wall of the first outer sleeve and forms a third limiting step, the end of the lower mold core is flush with the third limiting step, and the end of the upper mold core abuts against both the third limiting step and the end of the lower mold core.
[0011] The cold heading mold for core rod nail heads described above includes a stress dispersion structure at the first limiting step.
[0012] In the cold heading mold for core rod head as described above, the stress dispersion structure is a transition boss protruding toward the first cavity.
[0013] The cold heading die for the core rod head as described above, wherein the first cavity has a first draft taper.
[0014] The cold heading die for the core rod head as described above, wherein the second cavity has a second draft taper, and the first draft taper is greater than the second draft taper.
[0015] The cold heading die for the core rod head as described above, wherein the upper die core is an alloy steel upper die core and the lower die core is an alloy steel lower die core.
[0016] The cold heading die for the core rod head as described above, wherein the surfaces of the upper core and the lower core are covered with a nitrided layer.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following features and advantages:
[0018] This utility model proposes a cold heading mold for mandrel heads, used for cold heading of mandrel heads. The mold has a separate upper and lower mold core. The head portion of the mandrel head is cold-headed in the first cavity of the upper mold core, and the mandrel portion is cold-headed in the second cavity of the lower mold core. During metal extrusion forming, air can be discharged along the gap between the upper and lower mold cores, allowing the metal to be fully filled in both cavities. This effectively eliminates surface defects at the mandrel head, thus meeting the requirements of the cold heading process. Simultaneously, the separate structure of the upper and lower mold cores effectively reduces stress concentration on the lower end face of the mandrel head portion, effectively extending the service life of the cold heading mold.

The upper mold core 20 has an axially penetrating first cavity 21, and the lower mold core 30 has an axially penetrating second cavity 31. The inner diameter of the second cavity 31 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cavity 21. The lower mold core 30 abuts against the upper mold core 20, and the inner edge of the end of the lower mold core 30 protrudes from the inner wall of the upper mold core 20 and forms a first limiting step 40.
[0032] The present invention proposes a cold heading mold 100 for cold heading of mandrel heads. This mold 100 has a separate upper mold core 20 and a lower mold core 30. The head portion of the mandrel head is cold-headed in the first cavity 21 of the upper mold core 20, and the mandrel portion is cold-headed in the second cavity 31 of the lower mold core 30. During the metal extrusion process, air can be discharged along the gap between the upper mold core 20 and the lower mold core 30, allowing the metal to be fully filled in both the first and second cavities 21. This effectively eliminates surface defects at the mandrel head, thus meeting the requirements of the cold heading process. Simultaneously, the separate structure of the upper mold core 20 and the lower mold core 30 effectively reduces stress concentration on the lower end face of the mandrel head, effectively extending the service life of the cold heading mold 100.
