A method of manufacturing a yoke is disclosed. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a yoke according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a yoke having a hollow shaft portion and a pair of knuckle portions extending to face each other at one end of the shaft portion, A first pressing step of forwardly extruding the material so as to form a pair of knuckles at one end of the material to form an intermediate mold; And a second pressing step of rearwardly extruding the intermediate mold so that the other end of the intermediate mold may form the shaft portion.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
A yoke is a part used for connecting between two axes with different angles, and is often employed to connect a drive shaft and a driven shaft to a steering apparatus of a vehicle.
The yoke has a shaft portion and a pair of knuckle portions extending to face each other from the body.
When two shafts are to be connected, any one of the shafts can be slidably engaged with the shafts, and the shafts can be splined so that the shafts can be moved forward and backward.
Another axis may be rotatably coupled between the pair of knuckle portions, and each knuckle portion may be provided with a coupling hole so that the shaft is rotatably coupled.
In this method of manufacturing a yoke, there is a method of press-molding a single pipe-shaped material cut to a predetermined length. In this case, a method of inserting a material into a molding space of a mold and pressing with a punch is mainly used.
Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0982725 discloses an example of a method of manufacturing a yoke by press-molding a yoke using a pipe-shaped material.
In the conventional yoke manufacturing method disclosed in the above publication, the shaft portion is first formed by pressing one end portion of the material so as to elongate. In this state, the cross-sectional area of the other end portion of the material is increased and then the other end portion of the material having increased cross- So that the knuckle portion is formed.
However, since the conventional yoke manufacturing method disclosed in the above publication adds a step of increasing the cross-sectional area of the end portion of the blank for forming the knuckle portion before forming the knuckle portion after forming the shaft portion, there is a limit to shorten the manufacturing process of the yoke there was.
Also, in the case of a pipe-shaped material having a small cross-sectional area, excessive stress can be concentrated in the course of increasing the cross-sectional area of the knuckle part, so that it is difficult to ensure sufficient knuckle stiffness.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of manufacturing a yoke that can effectively shorten a manufacturing process in manufacturing a yoke by press-forming a pipe-shaped material.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a yoke manufacturing method capable of sufficiently securing the rigidity of a knuckle portion in manufacturing a yoke by press-forming a pipe-shaped material, thereby further improving the reliability of the yoke.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a yoke having a hollow shaft portion and a pair of knuckle portions extending at opposite ends of the shaft portion, the pipe-shaped material being inserted into a molding space of a mold, A first pressing step of forwardly extruding the material so that one end of the material forms a pair of knuckles to form an intermediate molding; And a second pressurizing step of rearwardly extruding the intermediate mold so that the other end of the intermediate mold may form the shaft portion.
Wherein the other end of the intermediate mold is formed with a hollow shaft portion having an inner diameter and an outer diameter that are coincident with the material, the outer side of the knuckle portion coinciding with the outer diameter of the material, and the thickness between the inner side and the outer side, And the molding space is provided with a pair of knuckle-shaped portions provided on both sides of the mold for forming a pair of knuckle portions, and a pair of knuckle-shaped portions formed on both sides of the knuckle- Wherein the upper end of the material seated on the hollow shaft portion forming portion is pressed to the bottom portion by using a first punch whose cross-sectional shape coincides with the hollow shaft portion in the first pressing step, In the pressurizing step, the outer circumferential surface of the end of the hollow shaft portion of the intermediate molding is matched with the outer diameter of the hollow shaft portion and the inner diameter thereof coincides with the inner diameter of the shaft portion And can be pressed to the bottom portion by using the second punch.
The knuckle portion is provided with a convex curved surface in the extending direction of the knuckle portion, and the pair of knuckle forming portions in the first pressing process can communicate with the outside of the mold through the air hole.
Wherein a pair of eject pins are provided in the mold so as to be able to enter each of the knuckle forming portions along a direction opposite to a direction in which the punch is pressed, And a pair of second eject pins used in the second pressurizing process, and the air hole may be provided in the first eject pin so as to communicate the knuckle part forming part and the outside of the mold .
Wherein the mold has a pin guide hole vertically penetrating the bottom of the sleeve forming part to guide the advancing / retreating operation of the eject pin, wherein the eject pin has a diameter capable of blocking the pin guide hole, And the air hole is formed vertically along the longitudinal direction of the first eject pin on the inner side of the first eject pin so as to correspond to the center of the inner side surface of the knuckle portion so as to correspond to the curvature of the curvature surface And in the first pressing step, the first eject pin can maintain the inserted state in the pin guide hole so that the upper surface thereof covers the space between the knuckle forming portion and the pin guide hole.
The pressing surface of the end of the second punch for pressing the hollow shaft portion toward the bottom may be inclined downward from the inner periphery toward the outer periphery.
The inclination of the pressing surface may be set to 30 degrees.
The yoke may be made of aluminum.
In the method of manufacturing a yoke according to an embodiment of the present invention, in manufacturing a pipe-shaped material by a yoke, the shaft portion is press-formed through rear extrusion in a state where one end of the material is first press- .
Therefore, according to the present invention, the process of increasing the cross-sectional area of the material for knuckle formation is eliminated, thereby shortening the manufacturing process of the yoke.
In addition, in the yoke manufacturing step of extruding the shaft portion backwards in the state where the knuckle portion is first extruded forward, there is less concern that excessive stress concentrates on the pipe-shaped material having a small cross-sectional area, and therefore rigidity of the knuckle portion can be sufficiently secured.
