[0003] Description
[0004] Title:
[0005] Flow-formed part, brake pressure generator, vehicle and method for manufacturing a flow-formed part
[0006] The present invention relates to a flow-formed part, a brake pressure generator, a vehicle and a method for manufacturing a flow-formed part.
[0007] State of the art
[0008] DE 20 2015 003 147 U1 shows a machine tool for cold forming.
[0009] DE 10 2012 100 850 A1 discloses a nut and a method for manufacturing a nut.
[0010] Disclosure of the invention
[0011] The core of the invention for the extrusion part, comprising an axial end section with an outer contour, consists in the fact that the axial end section has a recess which is arranged in an axial end surface of the extrusion part, wherein the recess and the outer contour overlap each other in an axial direction of the extrusion part.
[0012] The background of the invention is to improve the component accuracy of the extrusion part. By introducing a recess in the center of the affected area or on the opposite side, additional material is displaced, thereby distributing the pressure build-up more evenly during forming. This is achieved through repeated re-insertion in R. 417062.
[0013] - 2 -
[0014] The recess allows material to be pressed into the counter-mold, for example into the outer tool half, thereby achieving a more accurate reproduction of the outer contour and vice versa.
[0015] Advantageously, the recess completely overlaps the outer contour in the axial direction.
[0016] Further advantageous embodiments of the present invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
[0017] According to an advantageous embodiment, the recess is arranged centrally in the axial end face of the extrusion part. This enables a uniform distribution of the material during forming.
[0018] It is also advantageous if the outer contour has a variable cross-section, particularly if round and straight sections alternate. This allows the extruded part to be connected to other components via a positive fit and / or friction fit.
[0019] It is advantageous if the extrusion part and / or the recess is essentially cylindrical.
[0020] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the recess has a conical bottom section, in particular wherein the conical bottom section has an angle between 140° and 160°, and / or wherein a transition from the conical bottom section to a cylindrical area of the recess has a radius of at least 0.5 mm. This enables a more uniform distribution of the material during forming, thereby further improving the component accuracy of the extruded part.
[0021] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the distance between the outer contour and the recess is smaller than the radius of the recess. The distance between the outer contour and the recess is advantageously minimized so that the extruded part has the minimum required stability. R. 417062
[0022] - 3 - while simultaneously maximizing component accuracy. This also results in material savings and a consequent weight reduction.
[0023] The core of the invention in the brake pressure generator consists in the fact that the brake pressure generator has a flow-formed part as described above or according to one of the claims relating to the flow-formed part, in particular wherein the flow-formed part functions as a pressure rod.
[0024] The background of the invention is that the increased component accuracy of the extrusion part or the push rod enables a secure positive locking and / or friction locking connection of the extrusion part with other components of the brake pressure generator, thereby improving the operational reliability of the brake pressure generator.
[0025] The core of the invention in the vehicle consists in the fact that the vehicle has a braking system as described above or according to the claim relating to the braking system.
[0026] The core of the invention in the method for producing a flow-formed part, in particular as described above or according to one of the claims relating to the flow-formed part, consists in the fact that the method comprises the following process steps, wherein in a first process step a material blank is inserted between a die and a punch, wherein in a second process step the material blank is pressed onto the die by means of the punch, and wherein in a third process step the punch is pressed onto the die at least once more.
[0027] The invention aims to improve the component accuracy of the extruded part. By creating a recess in the center of the affected area or on the opposite side, additional material is displaced, resulting in a more even distribution of pressure build-up during forming. Repeated repositioning within the recess allows material to be pressed into the counter-mold, for example, the outer mold half, thereby achieving a more accurate reproduction of the outer contour, and vice versa.

[0029] Advantageously, in the third process step, the stamp is repeatedly pressed onto the die.
[0030] The above embodiments and further developments can be combined with one another as appropriate. Further possible embodiments, further developments, and implementations of the invention also include combinations of features of the invention described previously or subsequently with regard to the exemplary embodiments, even if not explicitly mentioned. In particular, the person skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or additions to the respective basic form of the present invention.
