Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing bolts with a head provided with a circumferential groove or groove (grooved pins) and a device suitable therefor.
  • Corresponding groove bolts serve, for example, as a basis for stabilizer ball pins and consist of a cylindrical shaft and a cylindrical head having a horizontal circumferential groove or groove.
  • the DE 20 2009 014 886 U1 discloses making a bead on the head of a forged small part by means of a hollow cylindrical punch, but not together with a hollow cylindrical punch holder, or together with a jaw-like tool.
  • the present object is achieved by a method for producing a bolt with a head provided with a circumferential groove or groove, in which the groove or groove is produced by pressing a bead on the head of the bolt by means of a radially active closing tool without cutting.
  • the bolt is made from a wire section by pre-upsetting the head twice and finishing the groove to form the ridge for the groove or groove.
  • a bolt with groove in the course of the same operations are made, as they were previously required for the still by machining, ie by turning, to be machined billet blank.
  • an entire working step can be saved on a further processing machine (lathe).
  • the head of the bolt receives the shape of two concentric standing cylinder in the pre-upsetting, wherein the shaft-side cylinder has a larger diameter than that above it arranged cylinders, and wherein the finishing of the upper end of the upper cylinder, a radially outwardly extending bead is formed, which then forms the upper boundary of the groove or groove by the two concentric cylinders embraced during the final dipping operation of correspondingly stepped jaws of a tool so that only the uppermost end of the uppermost cylinder can deform outwardly during finishing.
  • the tool for finishing is provided with a socket having a cylindrical opening in which a Kuppogen for receiving the shank of the pre-pin in the axial direction of the opening is movably disposed which widens conically upwards and in the jaws of the tool be moved during finishing in the axial direction downwards, which have corresponding bevels on their outsides of the conical enlargement, so that close by the head of the bolt during finishing by itself.
  • the stamp required for finishing the head of the bolt and for generating the bead is hollow cylindrical and axially slidably received in a hollow cylindrical punch holder, and the punch holder is designed so that it first presses the jaws of the tool during finishing, so that close them around the head of the bolt and then first move the punch down to form the bead as the upper limit of the groove or groove.
  • the object of the present invention is also achieved by a device for chipless production of a groove or groove on the head of a bolt, wherein the device comprises corresponding stages provided with jaws which engage around the head of the bolt during the finishing operation.
  • the device is provided with a socket having a cylindrical opening in which a Kuppogen for receiving the shank of the pre-compressed bolt is arranged to move in the axial direction of the opening, which widens conically upwards and in which the jaws during finishing down are movable, which have on their outer sides of the conical enlargement corresponding chamfers, by means of which they can close at the completion of diving itself to the head of the bolt.
  • the device comprises a hollow cylindrical punch which can be displaced axially in a hollow cylindrical punch holder is received, wherein the punch holder is arranged so that it initially pushes the jaws down during finishing, so that they close around the head of the bolt and only then the punch can be moved down to the bead as the upper boundary of the groove form.
  • Fig. 1 shows a conventional press blank 10 'for a grooved pin 10 according to the invention from a similar press blank 10' but with a larger volume has been made according to the prior art by screwing a groove in the head 12 'a grooved pin, the Fig. 2 corresponded.
  • Fig. 2 shows the according to the invention by pressing, ie exclusively by non-cutting operations from the press blank 10 'produced grooved pin 10.
  • This includes a shaft 11, which is followed by a head 12, which consists of two concentric superimposed cylindrical sections 14 and 16, wherein the further From the shaft remote cylindrical portion 16 has a smaller diameter and together with the further away from the shaft arranged bead 18, the groove or groove 20 forms.
  • the grooved pin 10 is produced from the press blank 10 'by gripping the cylindrical sections 14 and 16 of the head 12 over a special tool, which will be described below, and then pressing on the uppermost section of the head 12 by means of a hollow cylindrical punch becomes, by which the bead 18 is raised.
  • This special tool is a device for chipless production of a groove or groove on the head of a press blank 10 'of a bolt.
  • Fig. 3 shows the lower part of the tool 100 in the open state, without a Press blank is used.
  • the tool 100 is rotationally symmetric and cut along its axis of rotation in Fig. 3 shown.
  • This in Fig. 3 shown inventive tool 100 for chipless production of a groove or groove on the head of a bolt has a hollow cylindrical socket 102 having a concentric cylindrical opening 104 at the center, which widens conically upwards.
  • In the opening 104 is also a hollow cylindrical Kuppplast 106 along the common axis of rotation slidably disposed coaxially with the socket 102.
  • an ejector pin 108 is also arranged concentrically.
  • the tip insert 106 projects into the conically widened region 110 of the opening 104.
  • the individual jaws 112 of the segment tool can be seen above the Kuppschides 106.
  • an embodiment with four such segments 112 is shown.
  • the present invention is also feasible with three, five, six or more such segments.
  • the individual segments are formed niksektorenförmig and have on its inside two stages 114, 116 which abut in the closed state at the respective stages 14, 16 of the head 12 of the bolt 10 and to limit a deformation of this region of the head during pressing to a To ensure dimensional accuracy within the required specifications and specifications.
  • the jaws 112 are chamfered conically at the same angle as the conical portion 110 of the opening 104. In this way, the jaws 112, when moved downward during pressing, are closed by themselves, as they are supported by the bevel 110 of FIG Opening 104 are forcibly merged.
  • Fig. 4 shows the device 100 of the Fig. 3 from above. Clearly visible are the four jaws 112, which are open and therefore have corresponding slots between them and the socket 102 which encloses them. In the center, the opening for receiving the shank 11 'of the press blank 10' can be seen, which is closed at its lower end by the ejector pin 108.
  • Fig. 5 The groove bolt 10 is inserted into the opening 118 of the tip insert 106, so that the head 12 of the bolt 10 protrudes beyond the tip insert 106.
  • the pressing process of the finish-upsetting is effected by an upper tool part 120.
  • This comprises a hollow cylindrical punch 122 which is concentrically enclosed by a punch holder 124, wherein the punch holder 124 is also hollow cylindrical and both parts are arranged concentrically.
  • the punch 122 is inserted into the punch holder 124 movable parallel to the common axis of rotation.
  • the punch 122 is in turn made hollow, and has a concentric cylindrical opening whose inner diameter is slightly smaller than the projection of the head 12 'of the billet blank 10', which extends beyond the two cylindrical steps 14 and 16 of the bolt 10 addition.
  • a further ejector pin 126 which is also movable parallel to the common axis of rotation runs.
  • Fig. 5 is now compared to Fig. 3 the process of the final compression of the head 12 of the bolt 10 clearly visible.
  • the upper tool part 120 is lowered onto the lower tool 100.
  • the punch holder 124 comes into abutment with the jaws 112, and then pushes them down, so that they are forcibly pushed together by the conical taper 110 of the opening 104 until they the two cylindrical portions 14, 16 of the head 12 of the bolt 10th tightly enclose.
  • the punch 122 is further driven down so that it pushes a portion of the upper projection of the head 12 'of the blank 10' down and radially outward, thereby forming the bead 18.
  • the upper tool part 120 consisting of the components 122/124/126 which holds down the head 12 of the bolt 10 is lifted off the finished pressed head 12 of the bolt 10 again.
  • the jaws 112 may then reopen and the finished pin 10 may be ejected from the ejector pin 108 out of the aperture 118 in the tip insert 106.
  • the outer circumference of the punch holder 124 must be adapted in diameter and inclination to the conical region 110 of the opening 104 in the socket 102. It must therefore have a smaller outer diameter and a smaller or the same slope as the conical region 110.
  • Fig. 6 shows the tool 100 from above with closed jaws 112. Bolt 10 and tool top 120 are not shown here.
  • a corresponding grooved pin can be made much faster, more efficiently and without the formation of chip wastes.
