Definitions

  • This invention relates to a horizontal-press cold-forging machine (see e.g. DE-A-34 09 600 ).
  • cold-forging machines are forging machines designed to work material that has not been heated beforehand, thus setting them apart from semi-hot or hot-forging machines.
  • Cold-forging machines can essentially be divided into two different types: horizontal and vertical, depending on the direction from which the metal is hammered.
  • Horizontal cold-forging machines generally offer very high pressing speeds and high productivity, and thus produce parts at low cost.
  • vertical cold-forging machines generally offer lower pressing speeds.
  • Horizontal cold-forging machines also known as horizontal-transfer machines
  • main parts :
  • the hammers in the moving part usually move at a speed of 60 hammer strokes per minute (approximately 700 mm/s), which explains why horizontal-press cold-forging machines are considered high-speed machines.
  • the fixed part comprises a speed-reducer system so that the effective speed at which the needle presses the part is lower than the speed at which the moving part impacts on the fixed part.
  • the reducer system is mainly based on making the die movable in the area inside the fixed part and on limiting said movement so that the effective speed at which the part is hammered is substantially equal to the difference between the speed at which the moving part impacts on the fixed part and the speed of movement of the die.
  • the inventive machine enables the needle to hammer the part at a speed of 180 mm/s based on a speed of movement of the moving part in relation to the fixed part of approximately 700 mm/s (60 hammer strokes per minute).
  • This lower speed enables the correct filling of the cavities when manufacturing parts such as helical gears and other parts, which are characterised in requiring lower forge speeds than those provided by conventional horizontal-press cold-forging machines.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a helical gear for whoms manufacture the invention is especially useful.
  • This type of part is characterised in that it is forged inside a cavity provided with complex shapes. To ensure that said cavity shapes are filled correctly and that the resulting part does not present any defects, the cavity must be filled (as a result of a needle hammering or pressing the part) at a relatively low speed, in the region of 250 mm/s.
  • the forging machine according to the invention enables that the speed of movement of the moving part in relation to the fixed part, which is around 60 hammer strokes per minute (approximately 700 mm/s), to be reduced to a hammering speed of the needle against the part of around said value, i.e. 250 mm/s.
  • the horizontal-press cold-forging machine of the invention comprises, similarly to conventional horizontal-press cold-forging machines, a forging zone provided with at least one unit with a fixed part (1) and a moving part (2).
  • Figure 2 shows a unit with a fixed part (1) and a moving part (2) of an embodiment of the machine of the invention.
  • the moving part (2) is capable of impacting on the fixed part (1) to provide the pressing or hammering action.
  • the fixed part (1) comprises a die (3) provided with a cavity (4) in which a part (5) is inserted.
  • the moving part (2) comprises a needle (6) that, when the moving part (2) impacts on the fixed part (1), presses the part (5) causing it to adopt the shape of the cavity (4).
  • the die (3) moves inside the fixed part (1), i.e. it may move in a longitudinal direction (X) in relation to the fixed components of the fixed parts (1), such as the cover (16).
  • the fixed part (1) also comprises a moving bushing (8) disposed around at least part of the die (3) and capable of moving in a longitudinal direction (X) in relation to said die (3).
  • the fixed part (1) comprises a wedge (7) situated between the moving bushing (8) and the die (3), said wedge (7) being fixed in a longitudinal direction (X) and mobile in a radial direction (Y).
  • the wedge (7) comprises an inner wedge-shaped surface (10) and an outer wedge-shaped surface (11).
  • the die (3) comprises an outer wedge-shaped surface (12) similar to the inner wedge-shaped surface (10) of the wedge (7), with friction occurring between both surfaces (10, 12).
  • the moving bushing (8) comprises an inner wedge-shaped surface (13) similar to the outer wedge-shaped surface (11) of the wedge (7), with friction occurring between both surfaces (11, 13).
  • the moving part (2) comprises a pushing element (9) capable of pushing the moving bushing (8) when the needle (6) impacts on the part (5).
  • Figures 2 and 3 show the unit, comprising a fixed part (1) and a moving part (2), in a start and end position, respectively.
  • the unit functions as follows.
  • the moving part (2) impacts on the fixed part (1) at a certain speed 'v1', so that the needle (6) hammers the part (5) and the pushing element (9) pushes the moving bushing (8).
  • Figure 2 shows the unit at the point immediately before this occurs.
  • the moving bushing (8) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) but not in the axial direction (Y), a gap appearing between the moving bushing (8) and the wedge (7).
  • the wedge (7) moves in relation to the die (3) in the radial direction (Y); in other words a gap appears between the wedge (7) and the die (3).
  • the die (3) is freed and may move in a longitudinal direction (X), at a speed ⁇ v2', until it reaches a limit, when its outer wedge-shaped surface (12) comes into contact again with the inner wedge-shaped surface (10) of the wedge (7), this exact point being shown in Figure 3 .
  • the effective speed at which the needle (6) hammers or presses the part (5) is therefore v1-v2; in other words it is less than 'v1'.
  • the inventive machine thus allows the parts (5) to be hammered at a relatively low speed while the moving part (2) continues to move at a high speed. Put another way, it is possible to hammer the parts (5) at a relatively low speed without the need to reduce the speed of the moving part (2), which would lead to fewer pressing cycles per time unit and a lower machine productivity.
  • the friction between the surfaces (10, 12) allows the speed 'v2' of movement of the die (3) to be lower than the speed 'v1' of movement of the needle (6). If there were no friction, both speeds would be equal and the needle (6) would not be able to hammer the part (5).
  • the friction is determined by the angle both surfaces form (10, 12) with the longitudinal direction (X), as a result of which said angle is decisive in obtaining the required gear-down ratio.
  • the unit also comprises a spring (14) that pushes the moving bushing (8) in a longitudinal direction (X), in a direction opposite to the direction in which the needle (6) hammers, towards its start or rest position shown in Figure 2 .
  • the unit shown also comprises a spring (15) that pushes the die (3) in a longitudinal direction (X), in a direction opposite to the direction in which the needle (6) hammers, towards its start or rest position shown in Figure 2 .
