Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for hot pressing workpieces and an apparatus for carrying out this method, as defined in the preambles of independent claims 1 and 4.
  • a cylindrical workpiece is usually first sheared off from a metal rod heated to the forging temperature. Due to the heating, the workpiece is covered by a scale coating, i.e. surrounded by an oxide layer that flakes off when the workpiece is formed.
  • a scale coating i.e. surrounded by an oxide layer that flakes off when the workpiece is formed.
  • the workpiece with scale is pre-compressed and descaled outside a die in a first forming station and inserted into the first or only die of the hot-forming machine in a second forming station and compression-molded there.
  • a multi-stage hot-forming machine in which the scale in the die of the first forming station is broken off from the workpiece, is described in Japanese Utility Model No. 2521909.
  • the flaking off of the scale inside the die has the disadvantage that the scale is largely pushed back into the workpiece. This has one - 2 - Inferior surface quality results, which requires more extensive post-processing and more machining allowance, which increases the material requirement and thus the cost per workpiece.
  • hot forming machines in which descaling takes place in a separate first forming station.
  • Such a hot forging press is described in CH 594 454, in which the workpieces are pre-compressed outside of a die by a press ram, which is also called free upsetting, the scale breaking off and falling off the workpieces.
  • the descaled and pre-compressed workpiece is then transported with a pair of pliers to the second forming station and inserted into the die there, where it is pressed.
  • the outer diameter of the pre-compressed workpiece varies, since the compressive force is greater with an empty adjacent forming station, which can occur, for example, after the metal rod ends have been dropped in normal operation, than with full neighboring forming stations.
  • a self-centering transport tongs are therefore practically indispensable for transporting the workpiece.
  • the invention is based on the following object.
  • a method for hot pressing workpieces of the type mentioned at the outset is to be created, in which descaling of the workpieces takes place outside of a die, without additional shaping - 3 -
  • Claim 4 relates to an inventive device for performing the method and claim 13 to a hot-forming machine with such a device. Preferred design variants result from the dependent patent claims.
  • the essence of the invention is that in a method for hot pressing workpieces, in which a workpiece heated to the forging temperature is changed outside of a die by pre-upsetting by means of a press ram and then pressed into the desired shape in one or more dies Pre-upsetting and compression molding in the first or only die is carried out by the same press ram in the same movement cycle of the press ram.
  • a workpiece to be pressed can be pre-compressed and descaled outside of a die in a movement cycle by means of a single press die in a movement cycle and then compression-molded in a die. Since descaling takes place outside a die, ie free-standing, the chipped scale is not pressed back into the workpiece, so that its surface quality is not impaired.
  • a forming station can be saved, and a self-centering transport tongs is not necessary, since the transport to the next forming station takes place after the compression in the die, after which the workpieces have a fixed definition Have an outer contour.
  • the hot pressing process according to the invention - 4 - thus combines the advantages of the two known descaling methods described above, without having their disadvantages.
  • a preferred exemplary embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention comprises at least one die, an associated extendable and retractable ejector and a press die which can be moved forwards and backwards.
  • means are available with which the pushing back of the extended ejector by the forward-moving press ram via a workpiece arranged between the ejector and the press ram can be delayed in such a way that the workpiece can be pre-compressed outside the die.
  • the workpiece is compressed in the same movement cycle by the advancing press ram, pushed into the die, pressed there and finally pushed out of the die by the ejector.
  • the workpiece is then transferred to the next forming station in a known manner.
  • the means for delaying the pushing back of the ejector and the insertion of the workpiece into the die can be, for example, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical or electromechanical means.
  • hydraulic or pneumatic delay means comprise a control piston which is arranged in a pressure chamber and is connected directly or indirectly to the ejector, and means for supplying and removing liquid or gas into and from the pressure chamber.
  • the liquid or gas laxatives are - 5 - designed such that the liquid or gas discharge from the pressure chamber is partially delayed and the repulsion of the control piston and the ejector is delayed.
  • They advantageously comprise a liquid or gas discharge line, in which a throttle or a pressure relief valve is arranged, which only opens at a certain liquid or gas pressure, or which is opened and closed with a control pin.
  • An advantageous device according to the invention with mechanical delay means comprises a rotatable curve for controlling the extension and retraction of the ejector, which is shaped and the rotation of which is coordinated with the forward and backward movement of the press ram such that the retracted ejector is retarded.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a first exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention with hydraulic delay means with a throttle during pre-upsetting;
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a second exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention with hydraulic delay means with a pressure-limiting valve instead of the throttle at the end of the compression molding;

  • the bottom of the die 5 has a bore for an extendable and retractable ejector 7, which during pre-upsetting serves as a pressing resistor for the adjacent workpiece 4, during compression molding as a shaping part for the workpiece 4 and after compression molding for pushing out the deformed workpiece from the die 5 is used.

  • a cooling channel 141 In the backing 14 is a cooling channel 141 and in the ejector - 7 - bolt 9, a cooling channel 91 is arranged, through which coolant can be supplied to a die bore 10 extending axially in the control piston 8 and ejector 7.

  • the pretensioning of the holding pin 2 can alternatively also be carried out by means of air pressure.
  • the press ram 1 has already pre-compressed and descaled the workpiece 4 and is now beginning to push it into the die 5.
  • the workpiece 4 is moved forward by the Press plunger 1 pre-compressed in that the ejector 7 is held in its extended position by the control piston 8 due to the resistance of the throttle 25 against a liquid outflow from the pressure chamber 28.
  • a slight yielding, ie retraction, of the ejector 7 during pre-upsetting has no negative influence on the descaling and removal of the scale outside the die 5.
  • the workpiece 4 is pushed into the die 5 by the press die 1 moving further forward, whereby the resistance of the throttle 25 against a liquid discharge is overcome by the increasing pressure, and compression-molded there.

  • a pressure relief valve for up to approx. 350 bar from Bieri, Bern, can be used.
  • the pressure on the control piston 8, and thus in the pressure chamber 28 and liquid discharge line 23 is increased so much by the forward-moving press ram 1 that the previously closed pressure relief valve 26 is opened via the control line 27 and liquid can thus flow off.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de compression à chaud de pièces, qui comprend une matrice (5), un éjecteur (7) associé pouvant être entré et sorti et un plateau de compression (1) déplaçable vers l'avant et vers l'arrière. L'éjecteur (7) est relié à un piston de commande (8) monté coulissant dans une chambre de pression (28). Un liquide peut s'écouler hors de cette chambre de pression (28) par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice de sortie de liquide (24) et d'une conduite d'évacuation de liquide (23). Un élément d'étranglement (25) disposé dans la conduite d'évacuation de liquide (23) permet de différer l'écoulement du liquide et par conséquent le refoulement de l'éjecteur (7) en position sortie à travers le plateau de compression (1) déplacé vers l'avant, de manière qu'une pièce disposée entre l'éjecteur (7) et le plateau de compression (1) soit refoulée en dehors de la matrice (5) et soit décalaminée.
