[ detailed description ] embodiments
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1-3, the present invention provides a bicycle axle center processing method, comprising the steps of:
s10: heating an annular first blank 10 with a first central hole 11 to a first temperature T, and then placing the heated annular first blank into a first die 30 with a cylindrical blind hole 31 on a first punching machine 20;
specifically, the first blank 10 is an aluminum alloy material formed by casting, and since the melting point of aluminum is low and is only 660 ℃, the casting process difficulty of the annular blank is higher than that of the columnar blank, and the annular aluminum alloy blank formed by casting has many pores and weak overall strength, and is difficult to meet the strength requirement of the axle center of the bicycle. Meanwhile, the inner surface of the first center hole 11 of the first blank 10 formed by casting has more burrs and has lower smoothness. In this embodiment, the plasticity of the first blank 10 can be improved after the first blank 10 is heated, so as to avoid the blank from being broken due to too large local stress formed in the extrusion process. Meanwhile, the micro-structure defects such as micro air holes in the whole blank are effectively eliminated in the extrusion process, and the extrusion forming yield is improved.
In this embodiment, the first temperature T is controlled to be 70 to 220 ℃. More preferably, the first temperature T is in the interval 110 ℃ to 180 ℃. Optimally, the first temperature T is 145 ℃.
Table 1 below shows the statistical yield status for 10 workpieces per set of temperatures.

Specifically, the height of the first blank 10 is smaller than the depth of the cylindrical blind hole 31, so that the cylindrical blind hole 31 of the first mold 30 effectively restrains the radial deformation of the first blank 10.
S20: the first punch 21 of the first punching machine 20 extends into the first center hole 11 of the first blank 10 to radially press the first blank 10 to form a second blank 40;
specifically, the first punch 21 is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the first punch 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the first center hole 11 of the first blank 10, so that the first punch 21 protrudes into the first center hole 11 to press the first blank 10 in the radial direction of the annular blank.
The position of the center of the first punch 21 coincides with the center of the cylindrical blind hole 31, and since the outer diameter of the first punch 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the first center hole 11 of the first blank 10, the first punch 21 can radially extrude the first blank 10 when impacting and extending into the first center hole 11, so that the radial density of the first blank 10 is higher, and the second blank 40 with higher overall strength is formed. At this time, the second center hole 41 of the second blank 40 has an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the first punch 21.
S30: naturally cooling the second blank 40 to room temperature, and transferring the second blank to a second die 70 with a stepped blind hole 60 on a second stamping machine 50;
specifically, the stepped blind hole 60 includes a first stepped hole 61 extending along a surface 71 away from the second mold 70 and a second stepped hole 62 extending from the first stepped hole 61 along the surface 71 away from the second mold 70. Because the blank is subjected to one-time extrusion forming, the overall strength of the second blank 40 is higher, and the smoothness of the second central hole 41 of the second blank 40 is higher than that of the first blank 10, if the second blank is subjected to extrusion forming after being heated, although the plasticity of the blank can be improved, and the workpiece is prevented from being broken in the extrusion process, the practical final result is that the workpiece overall can present bending and distortion to a certain degree, which may be the result of extrusion after being heated under a specific radial density, in order to avoid this situation, in this embodiment, the second blank 40 is naturally cooled to room temperature, the blind hole of the die is changed into a stepped hole, and the inner diameter of the upper half part of the stepped hole is larger than the outer diameter of the second blank 40, a certain accommodating space is reserved, so that the metal of the second blank 40 after the second extrusion can extend to the accommodating space, and the workpiece is prevented from being excessively deformed, and (4) bending and deforming.
Specifically, the outer periphery of the second blank 40 is closely attached to the second stepped hole 62, and the outer diameter of the second blank 40 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first stepped hole 61.
The height of the second blank 40 is smaller than the depth of the stepped blind hole 60, so that the stepped blind hole 60 of the second mold 70 can effectively restrain the radial deformation of the second blank 40.
S40: the second punch 51 of the second punching machine 50 extends into the second center hole 41 of the second blank 40 to press the second blank 40 into a workpiece.
Specifically, the outer diameter of the second punch 51 is larger than the inner diameter of the second blank 40,
specifically, in the present embodiment, the central through hole needs to be processed into a stepped through hole, the prior art means is to bore the hole by using a boring tool, and the stepped hole is processed by using a secondary extrusion molding manner in the present embodiment. The center position of the first punch hammer 21 coincides with the center position of the stepped blind hole 60. The stroke H of the second punch 51 projecting downward from the surface 71 of the second die 70 coincides with the depth H of the first stepped hole 61. In actual machining, the stroke H of the second punch 51 may be adjusted according to the specific design of the shaft center.
The invention has the advantages that the strength of the annular blank is enhanced through two times of extrusion, the blank is heated to a specific temperature before the first time of extrusion, the plasticity of the blank is improved, the defects of micro air holes and the like in the whole blank are effectively eliminated through the extrusion, the blank is naturally cooled to the indoor temperature before the second time of extrusion, the excessive deformation of the blank is reduced, the bending deformation is avoided, and the finally formed workpiece keeps higher precision and smoothness. Simultaneously, compare the mode of bore hole among the prior art and promoted efficiency greatly, the cost is reduced.
While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
