[0026] This embodiment provides a spring disk top cover processing technology. For the spring disk top cover 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the process is optimized to solve the problems of high process difficulty, high cost, high defect rate and low production efficiency in the spin forming method in the related art, thereby ensuring the forming quality.
[0027] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 and FIG16 , the spring disc cover manufacturing process includes the following steps:
[0028] In S10 , blanking and punching: a circular plate 2 is punched out from a plate material, and a positioning hole 3 is opened in the center of the circular plate 2 , as shown in FIG4 .
[0029] In S20, stretching: the circular material plate 2 is drawn along the axial direction of the positioning hole 3 to form the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5, the positioning hole 3 is located on the end face of the first cavity 4, the edge of one end of the circular material plate 2 forms the end edge of the second cavity 5, and the diameter of the second cavity 5 is greater than the diameter of the first cavity 4.
[0030] In one embodiment, in S20, in order to avoid excessive or inadequate stretching that affects the stretching quality, the circular sheet 2 is stretched in steps, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 for details. First, the second cavity 5 with a large diameter is stretched out, and then the first cavity 4 with a small diameter is stretched out. It is necessary to pay attention to the wall thickness at the connection between the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5.
[0031] In S30 , shaping: the first concave cavity 4 and the second concave cavity 5 are trimmed into a variable diameter inner cavity 11 of a set size, as shown in FIG8 and FIG9 for details.
[0032] Here, the corners between the side wall and the end face of the first cavity 4 and the connection between the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5 are mainly trimmed to ensure the shape of the variable diameter inner cavity 11.
[0033] In S40 , the opening is closed: the diameter of the side wall of the second cavity 5 from the middle to the end edge is reduced, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 for details.
[0034] In S50 , the expansion is performed by enlarging the diameter of the end edge of the second cavity 5 , so that an annular concave neck 12 is formed in the middle of the side wall of the second cavity 5 by first contracting and then expanding. See FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 for details.
[0035] In S60 , convex points 14 are punched on the end surface of the first cavity 4 , as shown in FIG14 and FIG15 . There are four convex points 14 , which are evenly distributed around the positioning hole 3 .
[0036] In S70 , trimming and punching are performed: the end edges of the second cavity 5 are trimmed, and the positioning hole 3 is enlarged to a central through hole 13 of a set size, and finally the spring disk top cover 1 of the target shape is obtained.
[0037] Therefore, the above-mentioned spring disk top cover processing technology changes the spin forming method in the related art, and is formed by stamping a piece of plate, thereby forming a spring disk top cover 1 product with good consistency, meeting the precision requirements and shape requirements of the spring disk top cover 1, and the finished product size is stable, which reduces the processing difficulty and improves production efficiency.
