Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rotary forging machine or the like.
  • the word forging as used herein is intended to cover any procedure for shaping or forming a workpiece under pressure.
  • the work may normally pass in continuous uninterrupted movement through the entire machine.
  • the work may be heated but is cold in the instant exemplification.
  • the work is fed into the machine continuously in the form of a rod which may advance without dwell and from which successive blanks or slugs will then be sheared in the course of continuous rod movement.
  • the rod may advance in steps and dwell during shearing of the slugs therefrom.
  • the feed mechanism operates continuously but slips to allow very slight dwell of the rod during shearing of a slug therefrom, all other movement of the work being continuous until the forged workpiece is discharged.
  • a rotor grasps each severed blank.
  • the blank In the course of continuous rotor movement, the blank is moved to a point of tangency with another rotor to which the blank is transferred without dwell.
  • the second rotor includes one of the forging dies, and fingers which engage the blank and hold it to the first die until, in the course of continuous rotation of the second rotor, the blank registers with the mating die of the third rotor, whereupon the fingers which have been holding it are withdrawn and the blank is forged.
  • Another feature of the invention consists in the arrangement whereby optimum grain disposition of the work is assured, with minimum flash, by cam adjustment of the mating dies angularly on the several rotors in such manner that they confront each other axially in the course of their translative orbital movement peripherally on their respective rotors.
  • Each die has an oscillatory mount which is cam adjusted to maintain the dies in the desired position of axial alignment with each other as they approach each other orbitally.
  • the method involved is disclosed in Patent 3,239,912, granted March 15, 1966, and the apparatus is disclosed in pending application 495,920, entitled, Forging Apparatus, and filed Oct. 15, 1965.
  • the cammed control of the die mounting members permits such members to swing wide apart angularly at a rate in excess of the angular movement attributable to orbital movement on their rotative carriers.
  • an ejector pushes the finished workpiece from the die in which it has been forged.
  • the invention is exemplified by dies designed to forge balls from blanks cut from rod stock.
  • the equipment may be used to forge work which is non-spherical and it may also be used for the performance of many operations other than the forging operation for which the present exemplification is specifically designed.
  • the device is not even necessarily limited to a forging machine such as exemplifies the invention.
  • Addi- 3,359,774 Patented Dec. 26, 1967 tional operations can be performed by successive rotors bearing dies to which the work is transferred in similar manner. For example, these additional operations may include piercing or extruding.

  • FIG. 21-25 are diagrammatic views partially in elevation and partially in longitudinal section showing on a reduced scale successive positions of the forging die carriers and the fixed cams with which they respectively coact as they approach and leave forging position.
  • a machine frame 24 supports relatively fixed shafts 26, 28 and 30 upon which are mounted the hubs 32, 34 and 36 of the rotors 38, 40 and 42 respectively.
  • On the hubs of the respective rotors are intermeshing gears 44, 46 and 48 respectively. These gears adjustably drive the rotors upon the hub of which they are respectively mounted. Adjustment is made conveniently possibly by the provision of set screws 50 mounted in lugs 52 on respective gears as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 3a. These set screws are directed oppositely to bear against driven studs 54 which project from the respective rotors.
  • Pinion shaft 58 is driven from motor 56 (FIG. 1). From pinion shaft 58 (FIG. 2), motion is transmitted through gear 60 and pinion 62 to the primarily drive gear of the train; in this case, gear 46.
  • gear 64 Driven from gear 44 is a gear 64 which transmits motion through the gear train 66 shown in FIG. 3 to operate the feed rolls 68 and 70' between which is clampingly held the rod 72 from which successive lugs are severed in the manner now to be described.
  • the rod 72 is guided in a stationary tubular die 74 as best shown in FIG. 6.
  • the feed rolls 68 and 70 are in continuous rotative movement to advance the forward end portion 76 of rod 72 to project from the die 74 into the path of successive shearing dies 78 which are carried by the rotor 38.
  • the shearing may be effected so rapidly that there is no dwell of the rod. In other instances the feed rollers slip slightly so the rod dwells almost imperceptibly during cutoff.
  • the shearing dies are obliquely disposed, each being beveled to provide a fiat face at 80 (FIG. 8) which, in the course of rotation of rotor 38, is caused to pass across the end face of the fixed die 74.
  • the flattened extremity 80 of the shearing die 78 has a notch 82 which, in the position of the parts shown in FIGS. and 11, embraces the extremity 76 of the rod from which a slug is to be severed.
  • the shearing margin 84 will engage the rod near its end 76 and shear a slug 86 from the extremity of the continuously advancing rod.
  • the rotor is provided, as best shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, with spring fingers 88 which have been forced aside as they are rotated past the fixed extremity 76 of the rod in reaching the position shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. As soon as they pass the extremity 76 of the rod, they snap together to retain the severed slug.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show the fingers in slug retaining osition.
  • the rotor 38 carries four of the shearing dies 78, each with its own set of spring fingers. In the lower portion of FIG. 6, the severed slug 86 is shown to be held between the spring fingers 88 and the shearing die 78 by which it was severed from the rod 72.
  • the rotor 38 is provided with transfer plungers 90 which register with workpieces held by respective pairs of spring fingers 88. It is necessary that each transfer plunger be retracted to receive the slugs and then advanced to eject the slugs positively into one of the forging dies. It is also desirable to be able to control with precision the range through which the plunger moves.
  • each transfer plunger 90 is carried by a rack 91 having a bore 92 in which an enlarged cylindrical portion 93 of the plunger is reciprocably yieldable against the bias of a spring 94.
  • This spring is relatively stiff and is provided to prevent breakage in the event of mis-function. The spring is not required to yield as the work advances to the position of FIG. 8, the entire rack being retracted to permit the desired length of rod to be grasped between the spring fingers 88 preliminary to severance by the die 78 as the rotor 38 revolves. Normally, there is no movement between the plunger and the rack which carries it, these parts moving unitarily.
  • the movements of the rack 91 are controlled by a fixed cam 95 (FIG. 7) which has a channel 96 in which the cam follower roller 97 is positioned.
  • the cam follower roller is not mounted directly on the rack 91 but, in order to multiply the motion controlled by the fixed cam, the roller 97 is mounted on a shaft 98 carried by a slide 99.
  • a pinion 100 meshing with rack 91 is supported from this slide by cross shaft 101 (FIGS. 7, 8 and 9).
  • Pinion 100 also meshes with an adjustable stationary rack 102 which is reciprocable for adjustment purposes in a bore 103 but is held in adjusted position by a bolt 108.
  • the channel 96 has a radial offset 105.
  • the slide 99 on which the respective rollers 97 are mounted will be held in its retracted position while the rollers are traversing the fixed radius portion 960 of the cam channel 96 but will be advanced sharply as the roller reaches the radial offset 105 of the cam track or channel. This is where the slug is ejected in the manner hereinafter described.
  • FIG. 9 shows the advanced ejecting position of slide 99, rack 91 and plunger 90.
  • movement of slide 99 on which the cam follower roller 97 is mounted is one inch and the movement of the rack 91 and plunger 90 is two inches.
  • the portion 961 of the channel then progressively approaches the fixed radius portion 960 thereof as clearly appears in FIG. 6 to retract the rack 91 and plunger 90 toward the work-receiving position shown in FIG. 8.
  • the rod is advanced on a radial center line of rotor 38 and is there severed, being transported 180 by rotor 38 before it reaches the point where it is ejected as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the respective roller 97 reaches the offset 105 to cause sharp reciprocation of rack 91 and plunger 90 as above described whereby the transfer plunger 90 ejects the blank or slug 86 to force it between the resiliently yieldable clamping fingers 110, 112 and into the socket 114 of the forging die (FIGS. 9 and 13).
  • the clamping fingers 110, 112 are independently pivoted On a pintle 122 of rotor 40 as best shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13. They function like the blades of a pair of shears, crossing each other at the pintle. Above the pintle they have cam follower rollers 124. Below the pintle as viewed in FIG. 12 they have clamping jaws 126 which are so beveled or chamfered at 12 8 that they are readily forced aside as the transfer plunger 90 forces the slug or workpiece 86 between the jaws to open the jaws against the bias of springs 130 and 132.
  • Set screws 134 threaded into the respective jaws are adjustable to engage the fixed stop 136 so that as the jaws engage the slug or workpiece 86 they will be returned to a position which is axially centered with respect to the forging die or other tool shown at 120.
  • the rotor 40 is in continuous rotation and, as shown in FIG. 6, it desirably has a number of sets of clamping jaws equal to the sets of shearing dies 78 and supporting springs 88 on the rotor 38.
  • the arrows in FIG. 2 show the directions of relative rotation. The portions of the rotors 38 and 40 are thereby moving in unison at the same rate at the point where transfer occurs, this being in the same angular motion at which the driving gears 44 and 46 mesh as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the worpieces are carried from receiving position at the left of rotor 40 in FIG. 14 to the forging position on the diametrical center line in the middle of FIG. 14.
  • the shafts 28 and 30 upon which the rotors 40 and 42 are mounted are very heavy, being materially heavier than the shaft 26 upon which rotor 38 is supported. The parts have to be heavy enough to support the rotors against relative displacement during forging operation if such is the function of the tools.
  • FIGS. 18, 19 and 20 show an alternative arrangement of fingers and clamping jaws which maybe substituted for fingers 110, 112 and associated parts as above described.
  • the respective dies 120 and 121 of rotors 40 and 42 are shown mounted on their respective rockable mountings 140 and 141 for oscillation about the shafts 142 as their respective cam follower rollers'144 follow the diagrammatically illustrated cams 150, 151.
  • rockable mounting 140 On the rockable mounting 140 is a post 200 to which the fingers 202 and 204 are pivoted as shown in FIG. 18, with their lower extremities biased apart by compression springs 206 to effect engagement of the respective bifurcated clamping jaws 208, 210 at their free ends with the workpiece or slug 86 for maintaining this centered on the axis of the socket provided by forging die 120.
  • the respective jaws 208, 210 have opposed beveled surfaces 214, 216 (FIG. 20) so designed that as the forging dies 120, 121 close in the manner above described, the beveled surfaces 218, 220 of the die 121 engage the beveled surfaces 214, 216 of the jaws to force the jaws aside to permit the forging dies to close to complete the ball 224 or other product.
  • the flattened face 226 of die 120 backs up the jaws 208 as shown in FIG.
  • each forging die or other tool 120 is mounted on a carrier 140 pivoted on a cross shaft 142 for oscillation subject to the control of leading cam follower rollers 144 and trailing cam follower rollers 146.
  • the entire assembly of associated clamping fingers as shown in FIG. 12 is mounted on the carrier 140 for unitary oscillation, subject to the control of a pair of fixed cams 148 and 150 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14 and diametrically illustrated in FIGS. 21-25 inclusive.
  • rotors 40 and 42 are similarly equipped with oscillating carriers. Those of rotor 42 are designated by reference character 141. These carriers do not support clamping fingers on the order of those illustrated at fingers 110 and 112 on the carriers 140. All that is required of the carriers 141 is to mount the forging dies 121 or other tools complementary to the tools 120 on carrier 140.
  • FIGS. 2l25 illustrate the functioning of the carriers 140 and 141 as they rotate on their respective rotors 40 and 42 (these not being illustrated in FIGS. 21-25).
  • the direction of rotation of the carrier 140 in this sequence of views is clockwise while the direction of rotation of the carrier 141 in this sequence is counterclockwise, as indicated by the arrows on the intermeshing gears 46 and 48 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the tools 120 and 121 are radial with respect to the shafts 28 and 30 about which they are turning.
  • the cams 148 and 150 are fixed to the stationary shaft 28; the cams 149 and 151 are fixed to the stationary shaft 30.
  • the form of the cams controlling the respective carriers and 141 is such as to hold the dies 120 and 121 in axial alignment to compress each workpiece or slug 86 symmetrically until the dies reach full engagement in the position of the parts shown in FIG. 24.
  • This symmetrical approach there is no tendency to squeeze flash from one side of the die set while leaving the dies unfilled at some other point.
  • the grain of the metal of the slug is distributed substantially symmetrically and with substantial uniformity about the exterior of the finished workpiece.
  • each carrier 140 is provided with spring fingers 1'10 and 112 for holding successive slugs 86 in the respective dies 120 during transfer on rotor 38 from the receiving position (shown at the left in FIG. 14) to forging position (shown at the center in FIG. 14).
  • a stationary cam 162 is mounted on the frame in the path of the cam follower rollers 124 so that as these rollers engage the extremity 164 of cam 162 the clamping portions 126 of the fingers are forced apart as shown in FIG. 15, leaving plenty of clearance between the separated fingers for the die 121 to seat on the die 120 about the forged workpiece.
  • an ejection plunger has been provided at 166 (FIG. 17) and a like plunger may be provided at 167, each of the dies having a central bore in which the respective plunger is operable and a push rod 168 being mounted in each carrier 140, 141 and actuated by a fixed cam 170 in the course of rotation of the respective rotor.
