Background Art

[0003] The crankshaft is a major component used for converting the rotational motion and reciprocating motion of a machine, and the crank throw is an important element of the crankshaft. The crankshaft functions to convert the rotational motion and reciprocating motion of the machine. Since the crank throw of a large crankshaft is subject to large and complex forces, sufficient rigidity, strength, and impact load resistance are required. To meet the above performance requirements, it is common to select a forging as the crank throw of a large assembled crankshaft. The production process of the forged crank throw is relatively complex, requiring multiple processes, multiple heats, and multiple exchanges of anvil types. The journal is the part of the crank throw that connects to the connecting rod. The forging process is the most complex, and at one end of both webs of the crank throw, a columnar forging material close to the net shape of the journal is forged by integral forging.

[0004] Commonly used forging processes include the full mold forging method, die forging method, and bending forging method. The die forging method requires a forging machine of tens of thousands of tons and expensive dies, and the quality of the forgings is not ideal. The bending forging method has good metal flow and forming, is easy to operate, and does not have high requirements for equipment, but has a large number of heats, increased material consumption and energy consumption, and even the most advanced manufacturers at home and abroad need 5 - 7 heats to complete forging, and the cold processing allowance of the forgings is very large. The conventional methods for forging the crank throw are die forging and open die forging. In the case of these two methods, not only are the production costs high and the production efficiency low, but also a forging machine of over ten thousand tons and expensive dies are required, and the yield of the forgings is very low, unable to meet the requirements of the forging ratio, the crystal grains of the internal structure of the forgings are coarse, the quality is insufficient, and furthermore, there are defects such as chipping and folding of the forgings.

Second heat: Forging Set the transition shape, parameters, and bending parameters of the two-web body and the journal. Step 9: Heat the preform in Step 8 to the forging temperature. Step 10: Place the heated preform on the flat anvil, press and stretch the two-web body thinly, and finish it to the predetermined dimensions. Step 11: Clamp the preform with the first manipulator, place the middle part of the preform in Step 10 above the convex die, repeatedly invert it 180 degrees and forge it, forge it while moving left and right, change the position multiple times and forge it to roughly forge the two side surfaces of the journal. Step 12: Place the preform in the trapezoidal mold such that the raised platform of the preform in Step 11 faces upward, clamp the concave replacement anvil mold with the second manipulator and surround the preform, rough forge the lower surface of the journal on the bottom surfaces of the two web bodies facing the raised platform. Step 13: Place the two side surfaces and the lower surface of the journal in Steps 11 and 12 in the convex mold, repeatedly invert, move left and right, and alternately forge the two side surfaces, the lower surface and the connecting part of the journal to forge it to be close to the journal shape. Step 14: Place the journal of the preform in Step 13 in the concave mold, repeatedly invert and change the angle of the forging press, press down the head part of the raised platform with the upper anvil, the head part of the raised platform is formed as the upper surface of the polygonal journal by the forging press, and the two side surfaces and the lower surface of the journal are formed as semi-cylindrical bodies by the forging press. Step 15: Alternately place the journal forged in Step 14 in the convex mold and the concave mold, use a non-flat anvil and the arc-shaped replacement anvil mold as the upper anvil, forge the journal at multiple angles to forge the cylindrical material of the journal. Step 16: Place the lower surface of the cylindrical journal in the concave mold, clamp the covering and bending mold with the second manipulator and cover and place it on the upper surfaces of the two webs of the two web bodies, and the preform is bent to a predetermined angle to form a "V" shape. Step 17: Place the "V"-shaped preform on the large flat anvil, insert the core mold with the largest difference in thickness at both ends into the opening of the preform with the second manipulator, press together the two legs of the "V"-shaped one, the two legs of the preform approach each other, turn it upside down and press and forge it so that the two legs of the preform contact the core mold. Step 18: Exchange the core molds in the order of the largest difference in thickness at both ends, repeat the operation in Step 17, make the two webs of the two web bodies contact the core molds, invert the preform and perform forging, finish-forge the outer sides of the two web bodies to forge the crank handle of the crank throw, Step 19: Synchronously rotate the core mold and the preform in a press-fitting state, forge the head part of the protruding base, and stretch it into a crank throw head part in the shape of a truncated square pyramid, Step 20: Place the preform in Step 19 on the large flat anvil or the small flat anvil, and finish the crank throw to a predetermined size A two-heat forming forging process for a large crank throw, characterized by the above.
