Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacturing process of forging pipe fitting, more particularly, to a kind of finish forge work of non-trimming forging pipe fitting
Skill belongs to forging pipe fitting technical field.
Background technique
Currently, the small size pipe fitting relative complex for shapes such as threeway, four-way, elbows, uses forging mode to carry out
Manufacture;And conventional die forging mode has larger overlap, it is therefore desirable to which trimming operation is adjusted, to form the forging of non-trimming
Tubulation part;Its conventional wrought processing step are as follows: be put into mold and forge and press after bar is heated, pressure makes metal flow and is full of mould
Chamber;Blank after forging washes away overlap clout and completes whole forging process.
But for assembly line used by above-mentioned processing step and corresponding technique, there are following steps: one, feeding
Inefficiency, nowadays conventional mode is artificial loading, and heating furnace can not cope with the bar of different size, it is therefore desirable to is equipped with
A plurality of producing line is to adapt to the product of different size;Two, upseting is forged to bar shortage, therefore can not eliminated inclined in bar
The defects of analysing, is loose is unfavorable for improving the quality of product;Three, a forging product quality is often unable to reach customer requirement;
In conclusion needing a kind of forging line and forging technology that can be improved production efficiency and product quality.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above shortcomings and to provide a kind of high production efficiency and the high forgings of forging product quality
Pipe fitting non-trimming forging.

Step 3, jumping-up are placed in the upsetting of the workbench of rough forge press via the bar after heating stove heating via manipulator
Jumping-up is carried out on thick pillar;
Step 4, rough forge, the bar after jumping-up carry out rough forge, latter heating while rough forge via rough forge press
Bar afterwards carries out upseting by same rough forge press;Semi-finished product after rough forge are via entering finish forge pressure after elephant trunk and elevator
Machine;
Step 5, finish forge, the semi-finished product into forging press carry out finish forge compacting;Finish forge suppress to trimming product via
Manipulator enters trimming press;
Step 6, trimming;Trimming press is treated after trimming product carry out trimming and obtains finished product pipe fitting.
Compared with prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
The present invention uses the material-uploading style of mechanization, not only increases operating efficiency, and the speed of entire feeding process
It is more uniformly reliable;Meanwhile the terminal that can be applied to production different size after the combustion flue of multiple and different specifications is arranged in heating furnace
Product;Also, upseting can be carried out by same press while carrying out forging, so that the quality of product is not only improved,
Process is also ad save, production efficiency is improved;Finally, operated by rough forge and finish forge forging twice, so that forging better effect,
Product has more preferably quality.
