Definitions

  • the invention relates to a die for forging a toothed portion of a rack of a steering device with first and second die parts, of which the first die part has a first mold recess for forming the toothing of the rack and the second die part has a second mold cavity, the shape of the toothing opposite the back region of the rack has, and which can be moved together with forming an inserted into the die blank, starting from an open position in a closing direction to an end position in which they have a distance from each other, wherein in the region of the Formausström Associates the die parts between the die parts a Hauptkavmaschine is formed, which is open in the collapsed end position of the die parts on opposite sides to Maukavticianen out, which are each in a lying between the first and the second die portion.
  • the invention relates to a forging method for forging a toothed portion of a rack for a steering device, wherein a blank is formed between two die parts, of which the first die part, a first mold cavity for forming the teeth of the rack and the second die part, a second Formausströmung has, which has the shape of the toothing opposite the back portion of the rack, and which are moved together with reshaping inserted into the blank blank, starting from an open position in a closing direction to an end position in which they have a distance from each other, wherein Is formed in the collapsed end position of the die parts on opposite sides to side cavities, each in a between the first and the second die lying lying area, and wherein during the collapse of the die parts material of the blank is displaced into the secondary cavities.
  • Racks for steering devices of motor vehicles which have constant toothing, are often produced by machining, with high precision being achievable. Such racks can also be made with sufficient accuracy by forming. Forming processes are often more economical than machining processes. Steering racks with variable teeth, in which the distance of the teeth and / or the shape of the teeth and / or the inclination of the teeth changes over the extent of the toothing, are very difficult to produce. For economical production in large series, the manufacturing process becomes more complex.
  • Steering racks which have a triangular cross section or a Y cross section in the region of their toothed ends.
  • a rack goes out of the EP 0 738 191 B1 and the production of this rack is made by hot forging.
  • Such racks are well suited for variable gears and are supported in their guide against the influence of rolling moments, which occur by contact forces between the teeth of the pinion and the teeth of the rack due to inclinations, by their longitudinal guide.
  • steering racks with a round back profile or D-section.
  • Such have advantages over Y-section racks in manufacturing, even in their non-toothed areas, and in mounting and sealing the rack.
  • the required installation space is significantly smaller and the geometry of the rack supporting the pressure piece is easier.
  • these racks are more susceptible to the influence of rolling moments, which can lead to tilts with noise developments (rack roll).
  • For forming technical production of racks especially round sprockets, for steering devices forging with burr and forging are known without burr.
  • burr In a forging method with burr, in which a die of the type mentioned is used, when the two die parts material of the blank from the main cavity in both sides of the main cavity in the region of the parting plane between the die parts lying secondary cavities pushed out and this material forms burrs, the removed after the forging process. These burrs also accommodate volume tolerances of the blank. As the die parts collapse, the opening from the main cavity to the sub-cavities (also referred to as a "burr gap”) progressively decreases, increasing the die internal pressure and allowing portions of the material to flow from the main cavity into the sub-cavities. In particular, at the edges, there is a strong flow of material of the material of the blank under high pressure.
  • a burr forging method for making round spine racks with burrs, the subcavities limiting the flow of the blank material from the main cavity.
  • the total volume of the secondary cavities in the end position of the die parts corresponds to the volume difference between the rack blank and the finished rack in the toothed area.
  • the secondary cavities are thus closed in the end position of the die parts and completely filled with blank material. It can be formed by an increased hydrostatic pressure.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that the volume of the blank must be defined very precisely, so it must be exactly pre-ground or otherwise manufactured. This increases the production cost considerably.
  • a preform is formed, which is reduced by the volume fraction that would be incurred in a machining production.
  • a preform approximated geometrical shape of the preform is required.
  • the preform geometry must be determined empirically, which is technologically complex.
  • preforming causes significant additional costs, due to the machining itself and the volume accuracy requirements.
  • the process management is complex and even small deviations in the volume of the preform or in the volume of the main cavity can lead to burr formation, whereby further additional costs are generated as a result of the required rework.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a die or a forging method of the type mentioned, by which an improved production of a rack for a steering device is made possible. According to the invention, this is achieved by a die with the features of claim 1 or by a forging method with the features of claim 11. In the dependent claims, advantageous developments are included.

  • the risk of cracking in the rack can be reduced.
  • the secondary cavities are not completely filled with the material of the blank in the collapsed end position of the die parts, ie in any case there are areas into which no material of the blank passes.
  • the secondary cavities are open to the outside. That is, the Maukavticianen are not only open to the main cavities, but are also at least one other site not limited by a wall.
  • an "open" design of the secondary cavities in the above-mentioned sense would also be present if the secondary cavities in the end position of the die parts are closed to the outside, but their volume is so great that it is not completely filled by the displaced material of the blank.

  • the material flow can be controlled in such a way that, although the secondary cavities are not completely filled with material, the yield stresses required for the formation of the toothing are achieved. Nevertheless, the workpiece blank must be designed less precisely than in the prior art, since the free space in the Maukavtician material volume fluctuations can be largely compensated.
