Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wheel rim forming technology, specifically relating to a wheel rim flanging forming device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the commonly used rim flanging forming equipment in the industry generally suffers from insufficient positioning accuracy: most devices use a single mold for positioning, and the rim initial processing parts are prone to radial displacement during the stamping process, resulting in excessive flanging size error. Subsequent correction processing is required, which increases production costs and time. Meanwhile, the forming stability of existing equipment is unsatisfactory. Traditional devices mostly complete the flanging through a single stamping, which concentrates the stress on the edge of the rim, making it prone to cracks or wrinkles. Furthermore, the fit clearance between the top die and the pressure die is difficult to control precisely, further exacerbating forming defects. In addition, there are also significant shortcomings in the demolding process: the formed rim is often difficult to remove because it fits too tightly into the mold cavity, requiring manual assistance for unloading. This is not only inefficient but may also cause scratches on the rim surface due to improper operation. Although some equipment is equipped with an ejection structure, uneven ejection force can easily lead to rim deformation, affecting the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the rim flanging forming device includes a base 1, a bottom mold 2, a top seat 3, a top mold 4, and a pressing mold 5. The lower end of the bottom mold 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A movable positioning sleeve 6 is fitted on the bottom mold 2. The upper end of the movable positioning sleeve 6 is bent outward to form a linkage part 7. Several lifting rods 8 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable positioning sleeve 6. The base 1 is provided with movable holes 9 for the lifting rods 8 to move through. After the lower end of the lifting rod 8 passes through the movable holes 9, a lifting plate 10 is fixedly connected. The upper end of the top mold 4 is fixedly connected to the top seat 3. The top mold 4 has a mold cavity 1 inside. 1. The lower end face of the top mold 4 is provided with an insertion port 12 for the bottom mold 2 to extend into the mold cavity 11. The upper end of the mold cavity 11 is provided with guide surfaces 13 around its perimeter. The top mold 4 is provided with several mounting ports 14 around its perimeter. Side pressure rods 15 are inserted into the mounting ports 14 respectively. One end of the side pressure rod 15 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 13. The mounting port 14 connects to the lower end of the arc-shaped guide surface 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 16. The pressure mold 5 is located inside the mold cavity 11. Several springs 17 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressure mold 5. The springs 17 are fixedly connected to the top seat 3. The wheel rim preliminary processing part that needs to be flanged is placed on the bottom mold 2. The wheel rim preliminary processing part on the bottom mold 2 is positioned by the movable positioning sleeve 6. The top seat 3 is driven to descend by a hydraulic cylinder or other driving mechanism, which drives the top mold 4 and the pressure mold 5 to descend. The pressure mold 5 first contacts the wheel rim preliminary processing part and gradually presses the wheel rim preliminary processing part on the bottom mold 2. Simultaneously, the top mold 4 descends and presses down on the linkage 7, causing the movable positioning sleeve 6 to descend, and the wheel rim pre-processed part enters the top mold 4. The spring 17 is compressed, and the top mold 4 continues to descend. When the part of the wheel rim pre-processed part that needs to be flanged at the top approaches the lower end of the arc-shaped guide surface 13, the side pressure rod 15 is driven inward by a hydraulic cylinder or other driving mechanism, at which point the top mold 4 stops descending. The side pressure rod 15 presses the wheel rim pre-processed part inward, then retracts, and the top mold 4 continues to descend a certain distance. The side pressure rod 15 then presses the wheel rim pre-processed part inward again, repeating this process 3-4 times until the top mold 4 is completely lowered into place, and the upper part of the wheel rim is flanged.
[0015] Furthermore, several guide rods 25 are fixedly connected around the upper end of the die 5. The top die 4 is provided with guide holes 26 for the guide rods 25 to move through, and the top seat 3 is provided with guide channels 18 for the upper ends of the guide rods 25 to move. A push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the die 5. The top die 4 and the top seat 3 are respectively provided with through holes 20 for the push rod 19 to move through. The diameter of the guide hole 26 is smaller than the diameter of the guide channel 18, and the diameter of the guide hole 26 is larger than the diameter of the upper end of the guide rod 25. The guide rods 25 make the movement of the die 5 more stable, and the die 5 can accurately cooperate with the bottom die 2 to fix the rim, so that the rim is stable and accurately positioned during the stamping and flanging process. By using a cylinder or other driving mechanism to drive the push rod 19, the rim that is stuck in the die cavity 11 after stamping can be pushed out of the die cavity 11, which facilitates the unloading of the rim from the die cavity 11. After the top seat 3 rises, the upper end of the guide rod 25 can be hung on the top mold 4, reducing the tension from the pressure mold 5 on the spring 17.
[0016] Furthermore, a mounting plate 21 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a vertical slide rail 22 is provided on the mounting plate 21. A slider 23 is provided on the vertical slide rail 22. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21, and the slider 23 is fixedly connected to the top seat 3. The cooperation between the vertical slide rail 22 and the slider 23 on the side of the mold makes the descent process of the top seat 3, the top mold 4, and the pressure mold 5 more stable, further reducing molding errors.
[0017] Furthermore, a spring is fitted onto the side pressure rod 15, and the spring is clamped between the limiting plate 16 and the top mold 4. Here, the spring allows the side pressure rod 15 to automatically return to its original position.
[0018] Furthermore, the number of side pressure rods 15 is at least three, and all side pressure rods 15 are distributed in a circumferential array around the top mold 4. The side pressure rods 15 apply force evenly from all around the rim to guide the rim edge to bend and form a flange.
[0019] Furthermore, a spring is fitted onto the lifting rod 8, and the spring is clamped between the base 1 and the movable positioning sleeve 6. This spring allows the movable positioning sleeve 6 to automatically move to its uppermost position on the bottom mold 2 without external force.

It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort.
