Description

Conical body composite extrusion forming device and extrusion forming method Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an extrusion forming device and an extrusion forming method, and in particular to a conical body composite extrusion forming device and an extrusion forming method, belonging to the technical field of metal hot forming. Background Art

[0002] Conical metal structural parts are widely used in missile launches and aircraft structures. Conical materials are mostly made of difficult-to-process materials such as high-strength steel and high-temperature alloys. Their functions determine the high dimensional accuracy requirements of the parts, while their structure makes it difficult to form the parts. Usually, rods are directly cut to the final part shape, or the extruded blanks obtained after extrusion are cut. The former has serious material waste and low production efficiency, which is not in line with the concept of green manufacturing and is not conducive to controlling production costs. The latter has relatively high material utilization and production efficiency. However, the extruded blank is prone to tilting during forming using the current ordinary extrusion forming method, and the extrusion forming accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and it may even cause the blank to crack. In this case, a large cutting allowance needs to be reserved for the extruded blank. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new precision extrusion forming methods to improve extrusion forming accuracy, reduce cutting allowance, and improve material utilization.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the extruded billet is prone to tilting during the extrusion forming method, the extrusion forming accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and even the billet cracks, and a large cutting processing allowance needs to be reserved for the billet after extrusion, and further provide a conical body composite extrusion forming device and extrusion forming method.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A conical body composite extrusion forming device comprises a punch and a die, and also comprises a stripper plate fixing plate, a blank positioning ring, a prestressed ring and a push rod; the die is installed in the prestressed ring, the push rod is inserted in the bottom end hole of the die, the blank positioning ring is installed in the hole at the top end of the die, and the stripper plate fixing plate is installed on the top end of the die and the top end of the prestressed ring.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a stripper plate; the stripper plate is an annular plate, and the stripper plate is disassembled and installed on the stripper plate fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, an annular groove is processed radially on the inner side wall of the stripper plate fixing plate, and the stripper plate is installed in the annular groove of the stripper plate fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the stripper plate fixing plate is an annular sleeve, the prestressed ring is an annular cylinder, the die is a circular cylinder, the center hole of the circular cylinder is composed of a conical hole and a circular hole connected, the blank positioning ring is a conical sleeve, the outer cylindrical surface of the conical sleeve is a conical surface, and the center hole of the conical sleeve is a circular through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the die is mounted on the inner side wall of the prestressed ring, the conical surface of the blank positioning ring is mounted in the conical hole at the top of the die, and the ejector pin is mounted in the circular hole of the die.

[0011] An extrusion forming method of a conical body composite extrusion forming device is implemented according to the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Place the blank locating ring on top of the conical hole of the die;

[0013] Step 2: Place the blank into the die through the blank positioning ring, so that the ejector pin is pressed into the groove at the bottom of the blank, and the top of the blank overlaps the bottom of the blank positioning ring;

[0014] Step 3: Remove the blank positioning ring and install the stripper plate into the slot of the stripper plate fixing plate;

[0015] Step 4: Start the downward movement of the punch to extrude the blank, so that the material at the bottom of the blank flows downward and the material at the top of the blank flows upward, and finally the blank fills the concave mold cavity;

[0016] Step 5: Move the punch upward and exit the concave mold cavity;

[0017] Step 6: Remove the stripper plate and move the ejector pin upward to eject the part from the concave mold cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 2, the blank is placed into the die through the blank positioning ring, and the overlapping length L between the top of the blank and the bottom of the blank positioning ring is 5 mm to 10 mm.

[0019] Furthermore, when the blank is placed in the die in step 2, the shape of the blank is an integrated structure with an inverted truncated cone section at the bottom and a cylindrical section at the top, the height of the cylindrical section is H1, the height of the inverted truncated cone section is H2, and the ratio of H1 to H2 is in the range of 5:3 to 5:4.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 2, the depth of the groove at the bottom of the blank is 15 mm to 20 mm.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:

[0022] The present invention uses a composite hot extrusion method to achieve the precise forming of a double-sided hollow cone. A blank positioning ring is used to position the blank, ensuring that the blank is accurately positioned initially and coaxially with the die when placed. The blank shape comprises cylindrical and truncated cone sections of a certain length, which not only stabilizes the center of gravity of the blank during extrusion but also ensures a high material utilization rate. Furthermore, the outer surface of the truncated cone section fits against the inner wall of the die, and the groove at the bottom of the blank cooperates with the ejector pin, both of which position the blank during extrusion, reliably preventing the blank from tilting during extrusion and maintaining axial symmetry of the part after extrusion. This improves extrusion forming accuracy, reduces final forming cutting allowance, increases material utilization, and reduces manufacturing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
