  • ABSTRACT In a press including an upper die movable vertically relative to a lower die for the cold extrusion of deepholed or bottomed cylindrical articles, the lower die contains a die ring for accommodating a solid cylindrical blank or workpiece, and the upper die supports a punch movably displaceable into the die ring.
  • the press includes a guide arrangement to ensure the concentricity of the die ring and punch, and to maintain the central axes of the die ring and punch in axial alignment.
  • the guide arrangement also is movable displaceable so that the product being formed can move upwardly about the punch without interference.
  • the present invention has for its object to eliminate the defects experienced in the past by ensuring the concentricity of parts effecting the pressing action, as well as maintaining the center axis of the punch ter at its upper end forming a neck 9 concentric with and die in parallel and by reducing the free length of the punch.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of one embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are fragmentary sectional views of the press of FIG. I in different positions of an operational cycle
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the detail of a punch guide
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a graph showing the dimensional accuracy of an article formed in accordance with the invention.
  • a press is illustrated embodying the present invention and consisting of a lower die 1 and an upper die 10 movable vertically toward and away from the lower die.
  • the lower die 1 includes a die holder 2 laterally enclosing a support base 3.
  • a die spacer 4 rests on the upper end of the support base 3 and supports a die case 5 laterally enclosing a die ring 6.
  • a solid cylindrical blank A is positioned within the die ring 6.
  • a knockout 7 is arranged for movement in the upward direction by a hydraulic pressure device or other lifting member for removing the formed article from the die ring.
  • stopper blocks 8 are mounted, each having an upper surface oriented at right angles to the vertical center axis of the lower die.
  • the die case 5 has a reduced outside diamethe center axis and projecting upwardly above the die holder 2.
  • the upper die 10 has a cylindrical guide member 1] located above and concentric to the die ring 6. Adjacent its lower end, a flange 12 is secured to and later ally encircles the lower portion of the guide member 11.
  • the flange 12 is attached to the lower ends of vertically movable pistons 15 of cylinders 14, and the cylinders in turn are fixed to a press ram 13 which is adapted to move up and down.
  • Stopper blocks 16 are fixed to the underside of the flange l2 opposite the stopper blocks 8 on the lower die 1. The underside of each stopper block 16 is in a plane normal to the vertical center axis of the upper die 10.
  • the cylinders 14 are supplied with a fluid and normally force the pistons 15 downward.
  • a stepped punch 20 which is dependently supported from the press ram 13 by a mounting member 19.
  • the lower end of the punch 20 has a smaller diameter portion 24 as compared to its larger diameter upper portion 21.
  • a ring 22 is secured about the larger diameter upper portion 21 of the punch 20 in such a manner that its outer lateral surface can slide along the bearing 17 to ensure the concentricity of the punch 20 with respect to the guide member 11.
  • the inside diameter of the guide member 11 is increased at its lower end 23 to an extent sufficient to receive snugly the neck 9 of the die case 5.
  • the lower, smaller diameter portion 24 of the punch 20 extends through a punch guide assembly 28, which consists of a punch guide case 25 arranged to slide up and down along the bearing 18, a punch guide 26 surrounding and in sliding contact with the punch 20, and an adjust screw 27 for coupling the guide and guide case together.
  • the punch guide 26 has the form of an inverted truncated cone and contains a plurality of longitudinal slits 29 which extend alternately from the opposite ends to permit adjustment of the inside diameter.
  • the slits extend in the axial direction of the punch but do not extend for the full length of the punch guide.
  • the interior of the adjust screw 27 is also coneshaped for a collet-type engagement with the punch guide 26.
  • the guide member 11 and punch guide assembly 28 are also raised by means of the cylinders 14 and pistons 15. Further, the knockout 7 is in the down position. A solid cylindrical blank A is placed in the die ring 6. As the forming operation is initiated, the press is started, and the ram 13 descends. As the lower end of the punch moves downwardly with the ram to a position short of contact with the workpiece A, as in FIG. 2, the enlarged bore portion 23 of the guide member 11 fits around the neck 9 of the die case to ensure the axial alignment of the punch 20 and die ring 6.
  • the stopper blocks 8, 16 come into contact, and from then the hydraulic pressure by the cylinders 14 is increased as the press ram 13 descends to assure the axial alignment of the upper die 10 and the lower die 1.
  • the assembly 28 is positioned at the lower end of the bearing 18 and slightly above the lower end of the punch.
  • the press ram 13 continues its downward movement, the relative sliding of the ring 22 and the bearing 17 enables the punch 20 to contact the workpiece A and start its cold extrusion.
  • the assembly 28 Practically the entire free length of the lower, smaller diameter portion 24 of the punch 20 is guided by the assembly 28 without any axial distortion midway of the punch and accordingly, the workpiece A is forced to assure a bottomed cylindrical form B having a bore corresponding to the diameter of the punch and also a tubular formed lateral part C in close contact with the punch surface. As the forming operation progresses, the tubular formed part C increases in length. Consequently, the assembly 28 is gradually pushed upwardly by the upper end of the part C sliding along the bearing 18, preventing distortion of the punch 20 while not interfering with the extruding operation. Finally, as shown in FIG. 3, the assembly 28 reaches the upper end of the bearing 18 as the punch 20 reaches the lower limit of its stroke, and the forming operation is completed.
  • the press ram 13 moves upwardly and the punch 20 and cylinders 14 move with it, however, the assembly 28 remains in the same position guiding the punch as it is withdrawn from the cylindrical article B.
  • the guide member 11 is raised by the engagement between the lower parts of the cylinders and the larger diameter portions of their pistons.
  • the knockout 7 is moved upwardly and pushes the formed article B out of the die ring. Accordingly, one complete operating cycle is concluded.
  • FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which the punch guide assembly 28 is allowed to move upwardly as the press ram 13 descends. Unlike the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, this one is provided with pistons 30 which are accommodated in cylinders 14 but are capable of contacting, at their lower ends, stopper blocks 8 of a die holder 2.
  • Each piston 30 has a rack 31 formed on one side.
  • Guide member 11 is also formed with racks 32 on each of its exterior sides.
  • the case 25 of the assembly 28 is fitted within the guide member, and the combination of the guide member 11 and assembly 28 is slidable relative to a flange 12 via a slide ball bearing 33 in the flange.
  • Each pair of adjacent racks 31, 32 are engaged with one pair of pinions 35, 36 supported from the press ram 13 by a member 34.
  • This second embodiment operates in the following way.
  • the press ram 13 descends, bringing the pistons 30 into contact with the stopper blocks 8 immediately before the start of extrusion.
  • the pinions 35, 36 roll downwardly in mesh with the racks 31 of the pistons 30, and through the racks 32 and their engagement with the pinions the assembly 28 and bearing 17 are raised together with the guide member 11 along the bearing 33 of the flange 12. This positively keeps the assembly 28 from interfering with the skirting up of the workpiece around the punch during the extruding operation.
  • the dimensions of the racks 31, 32 and pinions 35, 36 are so chosen that they can raise the assembly 28 as slowly as possible within the rate at which the assembly is kept away from the article being formed from the workpiece.
  • the dimensional accuracy of a cylindrical article formed by extrusion through such embodiments is graphically represented in FIG. 6.
  • the cylindrical article with a center axis a has a hollow or hole whose axis b is off center by less than 0.05 mm per mm of the depth of the hole.
  • a very good concentricity is attained with practically negligible eccentricity.
  • that of the article according to this invention has an eccentricity of only about onefourth that of the former despite the fact that the latter has a hole more than twice as deep.
  • the cold extrusion press of the present invention it is possible with the cold extrusion press of the present invention to achieve concentricity of the die ring 6 about the punch 20 through the engagement of the neck 9 of the die case 5 and the enlarged bore portion 23 of the guide member 11; the co-axial relationship of the punch 20 and die ring 6 is attained through contact of the stopper blocks 8 of the die holder 2 and the stopper blocks 16 of the flange 12 or the pistons 30; and the alignment of the punch 20 with the workpiece A is obtained through the use of the assembly 28 which is vertically movable with respect to the punch 20 during the forming operation.
