Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schmiedevorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Kolbenrohlings, der einen Kolbenboden und am Kolbenboden angebrachte Schaftelemente aufweist, die über Kastenwände miteinander verbunden sind, mit einer Schmiedeform mit einer im Wesentlichen zylinderförmigen und der radialen Außenfläche des Kolbenrohlings entsprechenden, durchgehenden Ausnehmung, mit einem die eine Seite der Ausnehmung begrenzende Schmiedeboden, und mit einem Mittelstempel, der aus einem Dorn mit einem daran angebrachte, konisch zulaufenden Ansatz mit einer der Innenfläche des Kolbenrohlings entsprechenden Form besteht, und der über die andere Seite der Ausnehmung mit dem Ansatz voran in die Schmiedeform einführbar ist.The invention relates to a forging apparatus for producing a piston blank, which has a piston crown and shaft elements attached to the piston crown, which are connected to one another via box walls, with a forging shape having a substantially cylindrical and the radial outer surface of the piston blank corresponding through recess, with a the one Side of the recess bounding forging, and with a center punch, which consists of a mandrel with a tapered approach attached thereto with a corresponding shape of the inner surface of the piston blank, and which is insertable via the other side of the recess with the approach in the forging ,

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zum Schmieden eines Kolbenrohlings, der einen Kolbenboden, und am Kolbenboden angebrachte Schaftelemente aufweist, die über Kastenwände miteinander verbunden sind mit den folgenden Verfahrensschritten:

  • Einbringen eines erhitzten Stauchlings, aus dem der Kolbenrohling geschmiedet werden soll, derart in eine im Wesentlichen zylinderförmige Ausnehmung einer Schmiedevorrichtung, dass er auf einem auf der einen Seite der Ausnehmung angeordneten Schmiedeboden zu liegen kommt,
  • Einführen eines Mittelstempels, der aus einem Dorn mit einem daran angebrachte, konisch zulaufenden Ansatz mit einer der Innenfläche des Kolbenrohlings entsprechenden Form besteht, mit dem Ansatz voran in die andere Seite der Ausnehmung, wobei der Ansatz auf den Stauchling einwirkt und sich dabei die Kastenwände und die damit verbundenen Schaftelemente ausbilden
  • Herausziehen des Mittelstempels aus der Ausnehmung der Schmiedevorrichtung,
  • Auswerfen des Kolbenrohlings.
The invention further relates to a method for forging a piston blank, which has a piston head, and shaft elements attached to the piston head, which are connected to each other via box walls with the following method steps:
  • Introducing a heated upsetting part from which the piston blank is to be forged, into a substantially cylindrical recess of a forging device such that it comes to rest on a forging ground arranged on one side of the recess,
  • Inserting a center punch, which consists of a mandrel with a tapered approach attached thereto with a corresponding shape of the inner surface of the piston blank, with the approach ahead in the other side of the recess, wherein the approach acts on the Stauchling and thereby the box walls and form the associated shaft elements
  • Extracting the central punch from the recess of the forging device,
  • Ejecting the piston blank.

Eine Schmiedevorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Kolbenrohlings und ein Verfahren zum Schmieden des Kolbenrohlings unter Verwendung der Schmiedevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art sind aus der Japanischen Anmeldeschrift JP 2000 005840 A bekannt. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass die Schmiedeform aus zwei Hälften besteht, die nach Beendigung des Schmiedeprozesses in radialer Richtung auseinandergezogen werden, um den Kolbenrohling auswerfen zu können. Unter Verwendung der bekannten Schmiedeform ist es unmöglich, in die Oberseite des Stauchlings radial außerhalb der Kastenwände umlaufende Kühltaschen einzuformen, denn diese Kühltaschen würden das Auseinanderziehen der Schmiedeform in radialer Richtung verhindern.A forging apparatus for producing a piston blank and a method for forging the piston blank using the forging apparatus of the aforementioned type are known from Japanese Application JP 2000 005840 A known. The disadvantage here is that the forging consists of two halves, which are pulled apart after completion of the forging process in the radial direction to eject the piston blank can. Using the known forging shape, it is impossible to mold circulating coolers in the top of the upsetting radially outward of the box walls, because these coolers would prevent the forging shape from being pulled apart in the radial direction.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Schmiedevorrichtung derart zu gestalten, dass in die Oberseite des Stauchlings radial außerhalb der Kastenwände eine umlaufende Kühltasche einformbar ist. Weiterhin ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Schmieden des Kolbenrohlings unter Verwendung der Schmiedevorrichtung anzugeben, bei dem in die Oberseite des Stauchlings radial außerhalb der Kastenwände eine umlaufende Kühltasche eingeformt wird.Object of the present invention is to make a forging device such that in the top of the upsetting radially outward of the box walls, a circumferential cooling bag is formed. It is another object of the invention to provide a method for forging the piston blank using the forging, in which in the top of the upsetting radially outside the box walls, a circumferential cooling bag is formed.

Gelöst werden diese Aufgaben zum einen dadurch, dass die Schmiedeform zur Formung der radial äußeren Flächen der Kastenwände und zur Formung einer radial außerhalb der Kastenwände in den Kolbenboden angeordneten, umlaufende Kühltasche zwei Seitenbacken aufweist, die in der Schmiedevorrichtung schräg zur Längsachse der Schmiedevorrichtung in durch schräg liegende Pfeile darstellbare Richtungen beweglich gelagert sind, wobei die schräg liegenden Pfeile mit der Längsachse der Schmiedevorrichtung einen spitzen Winkel einschließen.These objects are achieved on the one hand by the fact that the forging for forming the radially outer surfaces of the box walls and for forming a radially outside of the box walls arranged in the piston head, circulating cooling bag has two side jaws, which in the forging device obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the forging in obliquely lying arrows are movably mounted, wherein the oblique arrows with the longitudinal axis of the forging include an acute angle.

Beim Schmieden des Kolbenrohlings unter Verwendung der Schmiedevorrichtung wird diese Aufgabe zum anderen durch die folgenden Verfahrensschritte gelöst:

  • Einformen einer umlaufenden Kühltasche in den Stauchling unter Verwendung zweier Seitenbacken, deren Innenflächen die Form der radialen Außenflächen der Kastenwände aufweisen, und die in der Schmiedevorrichtung schräg zur Längsachse der Schmiedevorrichtung in durch schräg liegende Pfeile darstellbare Richtungen beweglich gelagert sind, wobei die schräg liegenden Pfeile mit der Längsachse der Schmiedevorrichtung einen Winkel von α ≤ 25° einschließen und in Richtung des Schmiedebodens aufeinander zulaufen, indem die Seitenbacken auf den Stauchling gepresst werden,
  • Herausziehen der Seitenbacken aus der Schmiedevorrichtung in zu den schräg liegenden Pfeilen entgegengesetzte Richtungen.
When forging the piston blank using the forging apparatus, this object is achieved, on the other hand, by the following method steps:
  • Forming a circulating cooling bag in the Stauchling using two side jaws whose inner surfaces have the shape of the radially outer surfaces of the box walls, and are mounted in the forging device obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the forging device in directions representable by oblique arrows movable directions, wherein the oblique arrows with enclose the longitudinal axis of the forging machine at an angle of α ≤ 25 ° and converge towards the forging floor by pressing the side jaws onto the stuffing box,
  • Pull out the side jaws from the forging in opposite directions to the oblique arrows.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schmiedevorrichtung 1 zum Pressschmieden, die einen Gesenkmantel 2 aufweist, der in Richtung der Längsachse 3 verschiebbar mit einer Gesenkplatte 4 verbunden ist. Mittig weist der Gesenkmantel 2 eine runde Öffnung 6 auf, in der eine Gesenkbuchse 7 angeordnet ist, deren Funktion darin besteht, einen Schmiedeboden 8 und einen Mittelstempel 14 zu führen. Außerdem wird über den Innendurchmesser der Gesenkbuchse 7 der Außendurchmesser des Kolbenrohlings 28 (Fig. 6) festgelegt. Der Gesenkmantel 2, die Gesenkplatte 4 und die Gesenkbuchse 7 ergeben hierbei das Untergesenk 5. Fig. 1 shows a forging apparatus 1 for press forging, which has a Gesenkmantel 2, which is slidably connected in the direction of the longitudinal axis 3 with a die plate 4. In the middle of the Gesenkmantel 2 has a round opening 6, in which a Gesenkbuchse 7 is arranged, whose function is to lead a forging base 8 and a center punch 14. In addition, the outer diameter of the piston blank 28 (via the inner diameter of the die sleeve 7) (FIG. Fig. 6 ). The Gesenkmantel 2, the die plate 4 and the female socket 7 in this case give the lower die. 5

Der sich im Inneren der Gesenkbuchse 7 befindliche Schmiedeboden 8 liegt auf einer Gesenkplatte 4 auf. Auf dem Schmiedeboden 8 lagert ein Stauchling 9, aus dem der Kolbenrohling 28 (Fig. 6) hergestellt wird. Der Stauchling 9 besteht aus AlSi12CuMgNi oder aus AlSi12Cu3Ni2Mg und hat eine Temperatur von 480 °C.The forging base 8 located in the interior of the die sleeve 7 rests on a die plate 4. On the forging bottom 8 a Stauchling 9, from which the piston blank 28 ( Fig. 6 ) will be produced. The Stauchling 9 consists of AlSi12CuMgNi or AlSi12Cu3Ni2Mg and has a temperature of 480 ° C.

Die weiteren Teile der Schmiedevorrichtung 1, nämlich Seitenbacken 10 und 11 und Niederhalter 12 und 13, sind neben dem Mittelstempel 14 an einer in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellten Hydraulikvorrichtung befestigt. Während an der Hydraulikvorrichtung die Niederhalter 12, 13 und der Mittelstempel 14 in Richtung des parallel zur Längsachse 3 der Schmiedevorrichtung 1 liegenden Pfeiles 15 beweglich gelagert sind, sind die Seitenbacken 10 und 11 in Richtung der schräg liegenden Pfeile 16 und 17 beweglich gelagert, wobei die schräg liegenden Pfeile 16 und 17 mit der Längsachse 3 einen Winkel α = 20° einschließen und in Richtung des Untergesenks 5 aufeinander zulaufen. Die Seitenbacken 10, 11 und der Mittelstempel 14 bilden hierbei das Obergesenk 18, das im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel dreiteilig ausgebildet ist. Die Seitenbacken 10, 11, die Niederhalter 12, 13 und der Mittelstempel 14 sind symmetrisch zu Längsachse 3 der Schmiedevorrichtung 1 angeordnet.The other parts of the forging apparatus 1, namely side jaws 10 and 11 and hold-down 12 and 13, in addition to the center punch 14 at an in Fig. 1 Attached not shown hydraulic device. While the hold-down 12, 13 and the center punch 14 are movably mounted in the direction of parallel to the longitudinal axis 3 of the forging device 1 arrow 15, the side jaws 10 and 11 are movably mounted in the direction of the oblique arrows 16 and 17, wherein the oblique arrows 16 and 17 with the longitudinal axis 3 an angle α = 20 ° and converge toward each other in the direction of the lower die 5. The side jaws 10, 11 and the center punch 14 in this case form the upper die 18, which is formed in three parts in the present embodiment. The side jaws 10, 11, the hold-down 12, 13 and the center punch 14 are arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal axis 3 of the forging apparatus 1.

Im Rahmen des Verfahrens zum Schmieden des Kolbenrohlings 28 werden zunächst die Seitenbacken 10 und 11 in Richtung der schräg liegenden Pfeile 16 und 17 (Fig. 1) soweit nach unten bewegt, bis sie auf dem Gesenkmantel 2 aufliegen, wie es in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.As part of the process for forging the piston blank 28, the side cheeks 10 and 11 in the direction of the oblique arrows 16 and 17 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) so far down until they rest on the Gesenkmantel 2, as in Fig. 2 is shown.

Im Anschluss daran werden die Niederhalter 12 und 13 in Richtung des Pfeiles 15 nach unten auf die Seitenbacken 10 und 11 zu bewegt (Fig. 2), bis sie auf den Seitenbacken 10 und 11 aufliegen, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Der Gesenkmantel 2 wird dann gemeinsam mit den Seitenbacken 10 und 11 und den Niederhaltern 12 und 13 in Richtung des parallel zur Längsachse 3 der Schmiedevorrichtung 1 liegenden Pfeiles 19 (Fig. 2) auf die Gesenkplatte 4 zu bewegt, bis der Gesenkmantel 2 auf der Gesenkplatte 4 aufliegt, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Hierbei wird von den Seitenbacken 10 und 11 in den Stauchling 9 eine umlaufende Kühltasche 20 eingeformt, die in Fig. 6 gut zu erkennen ist.Subsequently, the hold-downs 12 and 13 are moved in the direction of the arrow 15 down to the side jaws 10 and 11 ( Fig. 2 ) until they rest on the side jaws 10 and 11, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown. The Gesenkmantel 2 is then together with the side jaws 10 and 11 and the downholders 12 and 13 in the direction of the parallel to the longitudinal axis 3 of the forging device 1 lying arrow 19 (FIGS. Fig. 2 ) moves on the die plate 4 until the Gesenkmantel 2 rests on the die plate 4, as in Fig. 3 is shown. Here, a circumferential cooling pocket 20 is formed by the side jaws 10 and 11 in the Stauchling 9, the in Fig. 6 easy to recognize.

Im folgenden Verfahrensschritt wird (Fig. 3) der Mittelstempel 14 in Richtung des Pfeiles 15 auf die Schmiedevorrichtung 1 zu bewegt, wobei der Dorn 21 in die Öffnung 22 zwischen den Seitenbacken 10 und 11 einfährt und, wie es in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist, insoweit auf den Stauchling 9 einwirkt, dass hierbei zwischen dem Dorn 21 des Mittelstempels 14 und den Seitenbacken 10, 11 die Schaftelemente 23 und die Kastenwände 27, 27' ausgebildet werden (Fig. 6).In the following process step ( Fig. 3 ) of the center punch 14 in the direction of the arrow 15 to the forging apparatus 1 moves, wherein the mandrel 21 enters the opening 22 between the side jaws 10 and 11 and, as it is in Fig. 4 is shown, insofar as acting on the Stauchling 9 that in this case between the mandrel 21 of the center punch 14 and the side jaws 10, 11, the shaft members 23 and the box walls 27, 27 'are formed ( Fig. 6 ).

Der Dorn 21 weist hierzu einen konisch nach unten zulaufenden Ansatz 24 auf, der gemeinsam mit den gleichermaßen nach unten konisch zulaufenden Innenwänden 25, 26 der Seitenbacken 10, 11 dafür sorgen, dass, wie es in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist, die Kastenwände 27, 27' des Kolbenrohlings 28 schräg stehen und zum Kolbenboden 29 des Kolbenrohlings 28 hin konisch zulaufen.For this purpose, the mandrel 21 has a conically downwardly tapering projection 24, which, together with the equally downwardly tapered inner walls 25, 26 of the side jaws 10, 11 ensure that, as it is in Fig. 6 is shown, the box walls 27, 27 'of the piston blank 28 are inclined and taper towards the piston head 29 of the piston blank 28 out.

Die Außenfläche des Kolbenrohlings 28 wird von einer Schmiedeform geformt, die aus den Seitenbacken 10, 11 und der Gesenkbuchse 7 besteht. Die radial äußere, zylinderförmige Mantelfläche 30 des Kolbenbodens 29 wird hierbei von der Gesenkbuchse 7 geformt, während für die Formung der radial äußeren Flächen der Kastenwände 27, 27' und der umlaufenden Kühltasche 20 die Seitenbacken 10, 11 verantwortlich sind.The outer surface of the piston blank 28 is formed by a forging shape consisting of the side jaws 10, 11 and the die sleeve 7. The radially outer, cylindrical lateral surface 30 of the piston crown 29 is in this case formed by the die sleeve 7, while for the formation of the radially outer surfaces of the box walls 27, 27 'and the circulating cooling bag 20, the side jaws 10, 11 are responsible.
