FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating a method of manufacturing a flange type hub clutch by a cold back pressure forging method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a method of manufacturing a flange type hub clutch according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a second lapping step in a method of manufacturing a flange type hub clutch by a cold back pressure forging method; FIG.

As shown, the method for manufacturing a flanged hub clutch according to the present embodiment includes a round bar blank preparation step 100, a hot forging step 102, a first lane cutting step 104, a pre-processing step 106, A cold back pressure forging step 108, and a finishing turning step 110. [

First, the round bar material preparation step 100 is a step of preparing a round bar material 35 having a predetermined diameter and height. The material of the round bar material 35 is aluminum or steel.

The subsequent hot forging step (102) is a process for forming the primary work (37) by forging the round bar material (35) in a state of being set on the hot forging die. 4B, the primary workpiece 37 is provided with a shaft hole 37a at its central shaft portion and an outer peripheral surface (an outer peripheral surface) at which the gear portion 11c and the flange portion 11b are formed, 37b. The primary work 37 is in the state of being subjected to hot forging only and is about forging and cold backing forging.

The subsequent primary cutting step 104 is a step of turning the outer circumferential surface 37b so that the primary workpiece 37 has the designed outer diameter. The secondary workpiece having the smooth surface of the outer peripheral surface 37b is completed through the primary lancing step 104. [

If the first picking step 104 is completed, a preprocessing step 106 is performed. The preprocessing step 106 is a process for modifying the metal structure of the secondary workpiece after the first step 104 to increase the efficiency of the subsequent cold back pressure forging.

The preprocessing step 106 includes annealing, short-blasting, and Bonderizing. The annealing is a heat treatment process for lowering the hardness of the workpiece for cold forging. Shot blasting is a process of peeling off the surface of the oxidized material by annealing, and Bondering is a lubrication process for reducing friction with a forging die during cold forging.

The cold back pressure forging step 108 subsequent to the preprocessing step 106 is a step in which the secondary workpiece is subjected to back pressure forging using a punch 27 in a state of being mounted on the slit part 23 of the die The process of obtaining the forging work 31 includes a forward extrusion process 108a and an upsetting process 108b.

Figures 3a and 3b show a portion of a cold forging die used for cold backing forging.

Referring to FIG. 3A, it can be seen that a gear forming portion 21a is protruded from the inner surface of the die 21. The gear forming portion 21a protrudes into the downward movement path of the secondary workpiece 29 and functions to form a gear groove 31a in FIG. 4C on the outer peripheral surface of the descending secondary workpiece 29 .

In addition, a sleeve 23 is provided at the front of the gear forming portion 21a so as to be able to move up and down, and a gas spring 25 is positioned below the sleeve 23. The gas spring 25 outputs a back pressure that resiliently supports the sleeve 23. That is, a back pressure opposite to the down pressure of the punch 27.

If there is no back pressure action of the gas spring 25, when the sleeve is lowered by the punch 27, the lowering speed of the punch 27 and the lowering speed of the sleeve are not matched with each other.

In any case, the secondary workpiece 29 is pushed by the punch 27 and lowered with the sleeve 23 to become a cold forging work (31 in FIG. 4C), as shown in FIG. 3B. The cold forging work 31 is a workpiece with the gear groove 31a formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

As described above, in the cold back pressure forging step 108, the secondary workpiece 29 having been subjected to the pre-processing step 106 is set on the sleeve 23 and the secondary workpiece 29 Downward to form the gear groove 31a includes a forward extrusion process 108a and an upsetting process 108b.

The front extrusion process 108a is a process of forwardly extruding the secondary work 29 by a predetermined distance to form a gear groove 31a but leaving a flange portion 11b. By forming the gear groove 31a, the tooth profile is positioned to some extent.

In the upsetting step 108b, the cold forging work 31 finished in the forward extrusion step 108a is set up in the state of being mounted on the other cold forging die so as to form the gear groove 31a and the flange portion 11b It is a process of repeatedly shaping (shaping).

In any case, if the cold forging workpiece 31 of the type shown in FIG. 4C is obtained through the cold back pressure forging step 108, a final finish turning step 110 is performed.

The removal target portion 33 is formed on both sides of the gear groove 31a formed through the cold back forging 108, that is, the mountain portion of each tooth, The target portion 33 is removed.

The removal target portion 33 is removed through the finishing and turning step 110 so that a horizontal turning surface 11e is formed in the mountain portion of each gear and also between the turning surface 11e and the flange portion 11b And the right turning surface 11f is formed. A step is formed between the gear portion 11c and the flange portion 11b. The final finishing step 110 completes all the processes.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
