During the cold heading process, the long bolts will not bend in the cold heading mold cavity, eliminating the straightening step, saving costs, and improving product quality.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A production module for long bolts that does not require straightening includes a first mold core, a second mold core, and a third mold core; The mold core consists of a tail end, a middle end, and a front end, which are three adjacent parts spliced together; the aperture of the tail end is X, the aperture of the middle end is X+0.01, and the aperture of the front end is X+0.02. The second mold core consists of three adjacent parts: the tail end, the middle end, and the front end. The aperture of the tail end is X+0.02, the aperture of the middle end is X+0.03, and the aperture of the front end is X+0.04. The three-mold core consists of a tail end, a middle end, and a front end, which are three adjacent parts spliced together. The aperture of the tail end is X+0.04, the aperture of the middle end is X+0.05, and the aperture of the front end is X+0.06. The shank of the long bolt is cold-forged sequentially through a first mold core, a second mold core, and a third mold core.

[0007] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: it also includes a second mold shell, the front end of which is fixed with a female mold, and a forming hole is opened in the middle of the female mold; the rear surface of the female mold is connected to the second mold core. The front end of the inner cavity of the second mold shell is fixed with a second mold core, which is embedded and fixed inside the second mold. The rear surface of the second mold is connected to a second mold pad, and the rear surface of the second mold pad is connected to a second mold tail pad. The second mold ejector pin passes through the second mold tail pad and the second mold pad and is inserted into the second mold core.

[0010] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are: Compared with the prior art, the production module for straight long bolts without straightening of this utility model has the following characteristics: the hole diameter at the tail end of the first mold is X, the hole diameter at the middle end of the first mold is X+0.01, and the hole diameter at the front end of the first mold is X+0.02; the hole diameter at the tail end of the second mold is X+0.02, the hole diameter at the middle end of the second mold is X+0.03, and the hole diameter at the front end of the second mold is X+0.04; the hole diameter at the tail end of the third mold is X+0.04, the hole diameter at the middle end of the first mold is X+0.05, and the hole diameter at the front end of the first mold is X+0.06. By employing appropriate die differentials, the three die cores are rationally divided into three parts, with different hole diameters selected for each part, progressing from small to large. While ensuring customer dimensional requirements are met, the appropriate wire diameter is chosen to ensure the product can smoothly enter the next die during cold heading. This prevents bending during cold heading, guaranteeing the product's mechanical properties, dimensions, and straightness meet specifications.
[0011] This solved the problem of bending and deformation of long bolts in actual production. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments; This embodiment provides a production module for straightening long bolts without straightening, including a first mold core 1, a second mold core 2, and a third mold core 3; The mold core 1 includes a mold tail end 10, a mold middle end 11, and a mold front end 12, which are three adjacent parts spliced together; the aperture of the mold tail end 10 is X, the aperture of the mold middle end 11 is X+0.01, and the aperture of the mold front end 12 is X+0.02. The mold core 1 is divided into 3 parts, and different parts use different hole diameters, from small to large. While ensuring the customer's size requirements, by selecting the appropriate wire diameter, the hole diameter of the tail end 10 of the mold is set as X (standard wire diameter + 0.02), the middle end 11 of the mold is set as X + 0.01, and the front end 12 of the mold is set as X + 0.02; for example, X is 5 mm, 10 mm or 30 mm.
[0021] The second mold core 2 includes a second mold tail end 20, a second mold middle end 21, and a second mold front end 22, which are three adjacent parts spliced together; the aperture of the second mold tail end 20 is X+0.02, the aperture of the second mold middle end 21 is X+0.03, and the aperture of the second mold front end 22 is X+0.04. The three-mold core 3 includes a three-mold tail end 30, a three-mold middle end 31, and a three-mold front end 32, which are three adjacent splices; the aperture of the three-mold tail end 30 is X+0.04, the aperture of the three-mold middle end 11 is X+0.05, and the aperture of the three-mold front end 12 is X+0.06. The shank of the long bolt is cold-forged sequentially through mold core 1, mold core 2, and mold core 3.
[0022] The tail end of the long bolt is inserted into the small-diameter hole, and the front end is inserted into the large-diameter hole. Three cold heading processes are performed to achieve straightening.
[0023] As mentioned above, during cold heading, the mold core is divided into three parts with increasing hole diameters. This increases the frictional force on the long bolts within the mold cavity, preventing them from bending and ensuring that the long bolt products can smoothly enter the next mold. This ensures that the long bolt products will not bend during cold heading.
[0024] The conventional cold heading design concept is to make the first, second, and third molds into a single mold. However, this design does not take into account that the product is relatively long and the front part needs to be larger. Due to the characteristics of the product, the middle and rear parts cannot meet the design size requirements, which will cause the product to bend. Therefore, a straightening process is required in the later process.
[0025] Furthermore, the mold core is made of tungsten steel, and the mold core is divided into 3 parts of equal length.
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a mold shell 100, a die 101 is inserted and fixed inside the front end of the mold shell 100, a mold core 1 is embedded and fixed inside the die 101, a mold pad 102 is connected to the rear surface of the die 101, and a mold tail pad 103 is connected to the rear surface of the mold pad 102; a mold ejector pin 104 passes through the mold tail pad 103 and the mold pad 102 and is inserted into the mold core 1.
[0027] As described above, the interior of the mold shell 100 is hollow, and the inner wall of the front end of the mold shell 100 has a step protruding. The mold 101 is fixed inside the mold shell 100. The mold pad 102 and the mold tail pad 103 play a supporting and fixing role. The mold ejector pin 104 is used to eject the long bolt and remove it.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a second mold shell 200, the front end of which is fixed with a female mold 201, and the middle of the female mold 201 is provided with a forming hole; the rear surface of the female mold 201 is connected to the second mold core 2. The interior of the second mold shell 200 is hollow. The female mold 201 is embedded in the front end of the second mold shell 200 and fixed. The forming hole on the female mold 201 is used for inserting the head of the long bolt to form the shape.
[0029] The mold core 2 and the female mold 201 are interlocked and fixed together; The inner front end of the second mold shell 200 is fitted with a second mold 202, and the second mold core 2 is embedded and fixed inside the second mold 202. The rear surface of the second mold 202 is connected to a second mold pad 203, and the rear surface of the second mold pad 203 is connected to a second mold tail pad 204. The second mold ejector pin 205 passes through the second mold tail pad 204 and the second mold pad 203 and is inserted into the second mold core 2.
[0030] As described above, the inner wall of the front end of the second mold shell 200 has a step protruding, and the second mold 202 is fixed inside the second mold shell 200; the second mold pad 203 and the second mold tail pad 204 play a supporting and fixing role; the second mold ejector pin 205 is used to eject the long bolt and remove it.

A three-mold core 3 is embedded and fixed inside the three-mold 301. A three-mold pad 302 is connected to the rear surface of the three-mold 301, and a positioning pad 303 is connected to the rear surface of the three-mold pad 302. A positioning screw hole 3030 is opened on the positioning pad 303. A bolt passes through the three-mold housing 300 and is screwed into the positioning screw hole 3030 for fixation. A three-mold ejector pin 304 passes through the three-mold tail pad and the three-mold pad 302 and is inserted into the three-mold core 3.
[0032] As mentioned above, The inner wall of the front end of the three-mold housing 300 has a step protrusion. The three-mold 301 is snapped into the three-mold housing 300 for fixation. The three-mold pad 302 and the three-mold tail pad provide support and fixation. The three-mold housing 300 and the positioning pad 303 are fixed by bolts.
