DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rolling die (particularly, a flat die) used for rolling a screw.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a screw is rolled, for example, there has been a method in which a material is pressed against a pair of dies (flat dies) having a groove formed on the back side of a thread shape. In addition, as a die, a die body having the above-described grooves is compressed at a high pressure using a cemented carbide (powder of a very hard compound such as tungsten carbide and titanium carbide and a metal powder such as cobalt) as a binder. Sintering and molding by heating to a temperature high enough not to melt).

[0003]

However, if such a die is used a plurality of times, the shape of the groove in the die body may be deformed, and there is a risk that high-quality screws cannot be rolled. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a rolling die in which, when the shape of the groove of the die body is deformed, the groove of the die body is re-formed and the die body can be used again. I do.

[0004]

Rolling die according to the present invention SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION may comprise an alignment of the holder to the difference in thickness, the one from among this single alignment of the holder selectively used, this
The total thickness of the combined holder and the die body made of cemented carbide, whose thickness has been reduced by re-grooving
It is configured to keep it constant .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows a rolling device using the rolling die according to the present invention. The rolling device is a fixed die 3 attached to the lower frame 2 of the housing 1 (the rolling die according to the present invention). And a movable die 4 that can reciprocate in a horizontal direction with respect to the fixed die 3 as shown by an arrow A. In addition, the movable die 4 is provided with a slide body 6 attached to the upper frame 5 of the housing 1 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction as indicated by an arrow A.
, Installed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a screw material 7 is interposed between the fixed die 3 and the movable die 4, and the movable die 4 is moved as shown by the arrow A from this state. The groove 8 (for forming a thread) and the groove 9 (for forming a thread) of the moving die 4 form a thread in the thread blank 7.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fixed die 3 comprises a holder 10 made of steel or the like and a die body 11 made of cemented carbide and attached to the holder 10. In here, cemented carbide is tungsten carbide, and compressed at high pressure and powder of very hard compounds such as titanium carbide, metal powders such as cobalt as a binder, heated to a high temperature to the extent that metal is not soluble Sintered and molded.
The holder 10 includes a main body 23 formed of a rectangular flat plate, and protrusions 12 and 1 provided at both ends of the upper surface of the main body 23.
3 and the projections 12 and 13 are provided on the inner surface 12 thereof.
a, 13a are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the width direction, or these inclination angles are set to be the same.
a, 13a are arranged in parallel.

The die body 11 is provided with the above-mentioned groove 8 on the upper surface thereof and cutouts 14 and 15 at both ends of the lower surface thereof. As shown in FIG.
In a state in which the protrusions 12 and 13 of the holder 10 are overlapped with each other, the protrusions 12 and 13 of the holder 10 are fitted into the notches 14 and 15 of the die body 11 and positioned. Are integrated. In other words, through holes 17
The die body 11 has a screw hole 18
A screw member 16 inserted through 17 is screwed into a screw hole 18. Then, with the fixed die 3 in which the die body 11 is attached to the holder 10 and the movable die 4 in this manner,
A thread is formed on the screw material 7. At this time, a downward pressing load acts on the holder 10 (at the protruding portions 12 and 13) by the rolling load, and the die body 11 being rolled is pressed. The holder 10 is stably held.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of holders 10 having different thicknesses (thickness dimensions) T are arranged. That is, the rolling die according to the present invention includes a set of holders 10 having different thicknesses T, and one of the holders 10 is selectively used. Here, the thickness (thickness dimension) T refers to the thickness dimension of the main body 23.

That is, when the shape of the groove 8 is deformed due to damage or wear of the die body 11 due to use, the groove 8 of the die body 11 is processed again, and When using the holder 11, a holder 10 whose thickness dimension T is larger than that used previously is used. This is because the thickness of the die body 11 is reduced by the re-working of the groove 8, and the entire thickness is made the same as the previous thickness by using the holder 10 having the large thickness T. It is for setting.

Therefore, when the groove 8 of the die body 11 is not formed in a regular shape (when the groove 8 is deformed), the thickness is reduced by performing the groove processing again, so that the thickness T is large. By using a certain holder 10, the thickness of the fixed die 3 can always be kept constant. Thus, if the die 3 is used, a thread can be rolled into the screw material 7 with high accuracy in a stable manner over a long period of time. In the rolling dies shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner surfaces 12a and 13a of the projecting portions 12 and 13 of the holder 10 are inclined with respect to the width direction, but are not inclined as shown in FIG. It may be. That is, the angle θ between the side surface and the inner surfaces 12a and 13a may be 90 °.

Next, FIGS. 5 to 7 show another embodiment. In this case, the holder 10 has a rectangular flat main body 24. As shown in FIG.
And ridges 19, 20 having triangular cross sections formed on both sides of the upper surface of the main body 24. The ridges 19, 20 are inclined surfaces 19a, 20a. Further, cutouts 21 and 22 having a triangular cross section are formed on both sides of the lower surface of the die body 11. Therefore, holder 10
When the die body 11 is overlapped with the projections 19, the protrusions 19 and 20 of the holder 10 are fitted into the cutouts 21 and 22 of the die body 11, so that positioning can be performed reliably. In addition, due to the rolling load during rolling, a load is applied downwardly to the holder 10 (at the ridges 19 and 20), and the die body 11 during rolling is stably held by the holder 10. You.

In this case as well, as shown in FIG.
10, a plurality of pieces 10 having different thickness dimensions T are arranged. Therefore, when the groove 8 of the die body 11 is not formed in a regular shape, the portion whose thickness is reduced by performing groove processing again is always fixed by using the holder 10 having a large thickness T. The thickness of the die 3 can be kept constant. The thickness T in this case also refers to the thickness of the main body 24. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the projections 12 and 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 9 may have a triangular cross section.

By the way, the number of the aligned holders 10 is four in each embodiment, but it is of course possible to increase or decrease the number of holders.
The difference in the thickness dimension T can be set freely,
It is preferable to set the thickness of the die body 11 to about the reduction of the thickness dimension in one groove reworking, for example, 1.5 mm to 3.0 m.
m places are set. The moving die 4 is fixed to the fixed die 3.
A combination of a set of holders having different thicknesses (thickness dimensions) and a die body having a groove 9 may be used.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following significant effects can be obtained. When the groove 8 of the die body 11 is lost in a regular shape (when the groove 8 is deformed), the thickness is reduced by performing the groove processing again , and the thickness (thickness dimension) of the holder 10 used previously is used. By using the holder 10 having a large T, the overall thickness of the die can be kept constant at all times, and the thread can be rolled stably and with high precision. The cemented carbide material, which is an expensive material, can be reused many times, contributing to resource saving, and even if reused, there is no concern about strength.
