Definitions

  • the present invention relates to motor vehicle wheels of the type comprising a rim to which a disc is welded and relates in particular to a method for manufacturing the disc for such a wheel.
  • At present wheel discs for commercial vehicles are mainly produced by means of pressing and/or flow-forming processes, from a square or round piece of flat sheet metal.
  • One object of the present invention is to propose a method for manufacturing wheel discs, which allows a drastic reduction in the machining waste and the production of discs with optimum mechanical properties.
  • the final shaping operation may a cold flow-forming operation or a shape-pressing operation.
  • a wheel disc for a motor vehicle starts with the provision of a sheet-metal strip, denoted by 1 in Figure 1, generally formed in the manner of an elongated parallelogram which is preferably rectangular shaped and has an essentially uniform thickness.
  • this thickness may be for example about 8-16 mm.
  • the sheet-metal strip 1 is then curved and its end portions 1a and 1b are welded together so as to form a cylindrical ring, denoted by 2 in Figure 2.
  • welding of the end sides or portions of the original strip 1 is indicated by 2a.
  • the weld is cleaned and rounded off and the entire ring 2 is also rounded by means of expansion.
  • the cylindrical ring 2 has a diameter d and a length or height h with respective predetermined values.
  • the cylindrical ring 2 then undergoes a first pressing operation so as to produce by means of plastic deformation a first annular shell part, denoted by 3 in Figure 3, shaped substantially in the manner of a truncated cone or annular sphere segment.
  • This shell part 3 has at its ends a smaller opening 3a with a diameter d m1 and a larger opening 3b with a diameter d M1 .
  • the diameters d m1 and d M1 are respectively smaller than and greater than the diameter d of the cylindrical ring 2.
  • the shell part 3 according to Figure 3 has a height or distance between its openings 3a and 3b with a value h 1 less than the height h of the cylindrical ring 2 of Figure 2.
  • the pressing operation by means of which the cylindrical ring is converted into the shell part 3 is performed by means of a special die comprising two half-dies, one of which has a stop which limits expansion of one end of the cylindrical ring 2, forcing the other end of this cylindrical ring to be deformed in a centripetal manner, causing flow of the metallic material towards the axis, such that the smaller opening 3a of the shell part 3 is considerably smaller than the corresponding original opening of the cylindrical ring 2.
  • annular shell part 3 then undergoes a further pressing operation so as to produce by means of plastic deformation a second annular shell part, denoted by 4 in Figure 4.
  • the annular shell part 4 is again shaped substantially in the manner of a truncated cone, but conveniently has a flattened central annular portion 4c and has a height h 2 which is significantly smaller than the height h 1 of the shell part 3 from which it is obtained.
  • the shell part 4 has a larger opening 4b, the diameter d M2 of which is significantly greater than the corresponding diameter d M1 of the annular shell part 3.
  • the smaller opening 4a of the shell part 4 has a diameter d m2 which is preferably smaller than the corresponding diameter d m1 of the shell part 3, but could also be substantially the same as this diameter.
  • the shell part 4 which is almost flattened in the manner of a disc, use is made of a die formed with two half-dies joined together, but without stop surfaces which limit the flow of the material away from or towards the axis (see Figure 3a).
  • the shell part 4 may optionally undergo a further pressing operation in order to obtain a semi-finished part having a central annular band which is nearly perfectly planar about the smaller opening.
  • this optional third pressing step it is possible to vary the degree of drawing of the semi-finished part, and the diameters of the smaller opening and the larger opening may remain unvaried or be slightly modified with respect to those of the original annular shell part.
  • the dies used during the first and in particular the second pressing operation may be suitably curved so as to induce in the parts extra large deformations able to compensate for the resilient return movement thereof.
  • the shell part 4 undergoes a final shaping operation which may be a cold flow-forming operation or a shape pressing operation ( Figure 4a) so as to give it the final desired form.
  • a final shaping operation which may be a cold flow-forming operation or a shape pressing operation ( Figure 4a) so as to give it the final desired form.
  • the semi-finished part 5 according to Figure 5 is thus obtained, with a smaller opening 5a, a larger opening 5b and a substantially flat, central, annular band 5c.
  • the semi-finished part 5 may then undergo shearing operations, for example for the precise dimensional definition of its smaller opening 5a, as shown in Figure 6, and/or so as to form in this semi-finished article a plurality of further openings or windows intended, for example, to allow the insertion of parts for fixing the wheel disc to the corresponding wheel hub or to act as ventilation openings, or which are simply formed for aesthetic reasons, as is shown for example in Figure 7.
  • the precise dimensional definition of the smaller opening 5a of the semi-finished article 5 may, as an alternative to shearing or trimming, be performed by means of (lathe) machining with chip removal.
