Background technology
Hydraulic expanding-forming processing is compared with other forming and machining methods, has lot of advantages.For example, owing to the part of the different complicated shape of energy processing length direction cross sectional shape, so can will must process with monolithic molding with traditional machine components that carry out solder joints.In addition, because this processing can produce work hardening applying on the whole position of processing, so even adopt soft shell also can obtain high-intensity goods.
And the resilience after the processing is little, the dimensional accuracy of goods good (shape freezing is good).Therefore, do not need manual operation of correcting product size, can simplify working process.
Hydraulic expanding-forming processing has above-mentioned advantage, recently, particularly is used as the manufacture method of automobile with part.
Usually, when utilizing hydraulic expanding-forming to shape processing tube, adopt length direction have even circular section straight tube (below, be called " straight shell ") as the blank material, after the bending machining and compressive strain processing that this blank material have been applied as " giving shaping ", implement the final operation of hydraulic expanding-forming processing as manufacturing procedure.Through a series of like this manufacturing procedure, can make the hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods that is processed to the regulation shape by straight shell.
Fig. 1 is the key diagram of the final operation in straight shell of employing tradition and the hydraulic expanding-forming processing manufacturing procedure that obtains goods.As shown in the drawing, in hydraulic expanding-forming processing, among the straight shell P1 in being located in mould 1,2 up and down, inject working fluids by inlet 3 as final operation, with interior pressure as loading.And, utilize the axle pusher 4,5 of pressing load, double as sealing tool in applying, from two pipe ends to axial push shell P1 (below, be called " axle pushing ").
In hydraulic expanding-forming processing, press load and axle pushing to make up in will applying, make goods P2 with various cross sectional shapes.In addition, the axle pusher 4,5 of double as sealing tool is connected with not shown hydraulic cylinder, and in hydraulic expanding-forming processing, controls its axial location and a pushing force.
In the hydraulic expanding-forming processing, from pipe end axle pushing vertically, have the effect that plastic deformation when promoting that shell bloats flows, improves shell expander boundary.For this reason, in hydraulic expanding-forming processing,, be extremely important manufacturing procedure from pipe end axle pushing vertically.
Concrete is, in hydraulic expanding-forming processing, when not implementing the axle pushing and only loading with interior pressure adds man-hour, along with the bloating of shell P1, the obvious attenuate of thickness of slab.Therefore, in hydraulic expanding-forming processing way, can cause shell P1 fracture.That is, the be shaped scope of shell P1 (expander boundary) is restricted.
And, in hydraulic expanding-forming processing, have the problem that causes because of the shell shape.As previously mentioned, even be to obtain the variform complicated processing shape of axial cross section as one of advantage of this processing, but obtainable machining shape also is restricted.
For example, defining girth increment rate (pipe expanding rate)={ under the situation of (circumference of the outer perimeter/shell of the processed goods at this position)-l} * 100%, though depend on the shell condition (material of desired style characteristic of processed goods or use, wall thickness), but except axle pushed effective tube end zone, girth increment rate (pipe expanding rate) is the highest also to be about 25%.
The girth increment rate (pipe expanding rate) that surpasses this boundary just can not be implemented hydraulic expanding-forming processing.According to the restriction condition of such girth increment rate (pipe expanding rate),, just must work hard in shape at shell for the free degree and the acquisition that improves the processed goods shaped design has the more processed goods of complex section.
In order to address this problem, the someone proposes with slightly being the motion that cone shape shell (below, be called " awl shell ") replaces straight shell.That is, by adopting the awl shell, for the part that is difficult to be shaped with straight shell, for example, for the big part of perimeter change vertically, can reduce the girth increment rate of following processing, and the machining shape that can form regulation (for example, the spy opens the 2001-321842 communique, and the 1st page, with reference to Fig. 2).
But, at the awl shell that adopts the axial cross section change of shape and carry out hydraulic expanding-forming and add man-hour, when stating the effective axle of broad wool base shown in Figure 1 pusher in the use, be difficult to the awl shell is applied the axle pushing.
Fig. 2 is the problem definition figure that is produced when carrying out axle pushing to the awl shell with the effective axle of traditional broad wool base pusher.As shown in the drawing, this can not carry out the axle of awl shell TP1 is pushed in larger diameter side, in addition, though can carry out the axle pushing to awl shell TP1 in smaller diameter side, but mould 1,2 inside about following the axle pushing, having entered along with axle pusher 4, can make the constraint of interior outside of the awl shell TP1 of a pusher 4 sides become insufficient, can produce sealing leak.
Fig. 3 is the hydraulic expanding-forming manufacturing procedure key diagram that adopts traditional Taper Pipe, (a) is the state before the processing, (b) is the state before the pressure load in applying, the state when (c) being process finishing.
In the hydraulic expanding-forming processing of adopting traditional Taper Pipe TP1, as shown in Figure 3, used the axle pusher 6,7 of leading section as taper, but owing to not implementing the axle pushing, so general only the load with interior pressure finished hydraulic expanding-forming processing.In addition, the TP2 among Fig. 3 has formed the later awl shell of tube end, and TP3 represents the goods (hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods) after the hydraulic expanding-forming processing.
In manufacturing procedure shown in Figure 3, owing to can not implement to bore the axle pushing of shell TP2, so as mentioned above, can only in not producing the shaping scope of the limit of breaking, not process in the hydraulic expanding-forming process segment.Therefore, actual state is can not give full play to the effect that adopts the awl shell in hydraulic expanding-forming processing.
For this reason, the hope exploitation can be carried out hydraulic expanding-forming at employing awl shell and add man-hour, and shell is applied interior pressure load and carries out a technology of pushing vertically from pipe end.
In that traditional awl shell enforcement hydraulic expanding-forming is added man-hour, except the problem of axle pushing difficulty, the problem when also having the hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods to engage with miscellaneous part.
Fig. 4 is the problem definition figure when engaging the hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods with rectangle cross section.The shape of this figure (a) expression conventional hydraulic bulging processed goods, (b) shape of expression hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods of the present invention, and represent that each processed goods tube end is with respect to axial inclination.(c) cross sectional shape of expression above-mentioned (a) and hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods (b).
The goods PT3 that carries out hydraulic expanding-forming processing as raw material with traditional awl shell, shown in Fig. 4 (a), the tube end θ that only tilted.Therefore, with miscellaneous part welding, when engaging, owing to being difficult to guarantee precision, so be not easy to engage with miscellaneous part.
And, with pipe end with insert in other parts in conjunction with carry out peg graft in conjunction with the time, similarly owing to can not guarantee precision, and be difficult to the location.Therefore, must carry out after hydraulic expanding-forming processing, cutting away the back processing of hydraulic expanding-forming processed goods end etc.
