Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Crosby Attorney-McGlew & Toren [57] ABSTRACT A forging machine is disclosed for reducing the cross sectional area of a workpiece which is positioned on a forging axis of the machine, i.e. the direction of travel of the workpiece through the machine.
  • At least three forging saddles are arranged at intervals around the forging axis for applying a lateral thrust generally towards the forging axis.
  • Each forging saddle has associated with it a driving mechanism for imparting a thrust to the saddle and an axially guided sliding plunger which transmits the thrust from the driving mechanism to the saddle and which has its axis inclined to the axis of'the saddle.
  • FORGING MACHINE This invention relates to forging machines for reducing the cross sectional area of a workpiece which is positioned on the forging axis of the machine, i.e. the path taken by the workpiece through the machine, having at least three forging saddles which are arranged at intervals around the forging axis and are arranged to apply lateral thrust towards the forging axis.
  • each forging saddle is directly but flexibly coupled to a guiding arm which is inclined at an angle to the forging saddle and is pivoted on an axle pin extending parallel to the forging axis.
  • a driving mechanism is arranged to impart a thrust to the forging saddle in a substantially perpendicular direction through the connection of the saddle to the guiding arm.
  • the machine can be adjusted to produce forged bars not only of square cross section but of rectangular cross section of different side ratios as desired.
  • the machine can be adjusted to produce forged bars with substantially round cross sections and forged bars of other polygonal cross sections.
  • each forging saddle has associated with it a driving mechanism for imparting a thrust to the saddle and an axially guided sliding plunger which transmits the thrust from the driving mechanism to the saddle and which has its axis inclined to the axis of the saddle.
  • a driving mechanism for imparting a thrust to the saddle and an axially guided sliding plunger which transmits the thrust from the driving mechanism to the saddle and which has its axis inclined to the axis of the saddle.
  • Such a machine can be constructed in which the ratio of the width of the largest raw bar which can be fed to the machine, to the width of the forging machine stand or frame is only approximately 1 9. This machine is therefore only half as wide as the known machine mentioned earlier, but nevertheless functions just as well. There is obtained not only a considerable economy in metal in the manufacture of the machine, but the manufacture is also simpler.
  • each driving mechanism is arranged to apply its thrust along the axis of the associated sliding plunger.
  • Each sliding plunger is preferably guided to slide in a passage in the frame of the machine by forward guiding devices at the saddle end of the passage and rear guiding devices at the other end of the passage adjacent the driving mechanism, and preferably each sliding plunger and its forward guiding devices are arranged so that one of the forward guiding devices provides the reaction against the component of the reaction force exerted in use by the workpiece on the forging saddle in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the sliding plunger, this guiding device being arranged so that the moment of the component of the workpiece reaction perpendicular to the sliding plunger axis about the point of reaction by this guiding device always balances the moment of the component of the workpiece reaction parallel to the axis of the sliding plunger about this axis.
  • the guiding devices for each sliding plunger are preferably adjustable in position, allowing a certain minimal working gap to be retained between the working face of each forging saddle and the side face of the neighboring forging saddle.
  • each passage which houses a sliding plunger is formed by an annular flange projecting inwards from the machine frame, i.e. towards the corresponding forging saddle.
  • the inner end of each flange may be covered by a protective cap which has an opening for the end of the sliding plunger adjacent the forging saddle. This provides an easy way of protecting the guiding devices from scale resulting from the forging.
  • the forging saddles are arranged in neighboring pairs each of which is adjustable in position transversely with respect to the forging axis, that is to say across the direction of advance of the workpiece.
  • the machine frame is preferably split into two parts, each part housing the sliding plungers of one pair of forging saddles, and the two parts of the machine frame being adjustable in position relative to each other, thereby making the positions of the pairs of forging saddles adjustable.
  • the two parts of the machine frame may be adjustable in position with respect to each other by known adjustment devices, for example by means of screw threaded spindles which connect the two parts, the opposite ends of each spindle being in different machine parts from each other and having threads of opposite hand.
  • FIG. 1 is a partly sectioned front. view of the forging machine, the section being taken along the line I-I in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along the line lI-ll in FIG. 1.
  • the drawing is limited to showing only those parts which are necessary for explaining the invention.
  • Other parts of the machine for example the means for advancing the workpiece, and the supply ducts for the hydraulic fluid, have been omitted for greater clarity.
  • the forging machine represented in the drawing is intended for forging bars having a rectangular cross section. However, it is obvious that by suitablychoosing the number and construction of the forging saddles, bars with other polygonal cross sections can be forged.
  • the forging machine shown has four forging saddles 1,2 ,3,4 positioned at intervals around the path followed through the machine by a workpiece 5. This path is known as the forging axis.
  • the four forging saddles 1,2,3,4 act somewhat as a forging gauge entirely surrounding the workpiece 5.
  • Each forging saddle 1,2,3,4 is attached at an angle to the inner end of a sliding plunger 6,7,8,9 which slides axially in one or other of two parts 18, 19 of the machine frame. That is, the direction of the forging thrust of each forging saddle is inclined to the axis of its associated sliding plunger.
  • Each sliding plunger 6,7 ,8,9 is guided in the machine frame at its inner end by forward guiding devices 10, ll, 12, 13 and at its outer end by rear guiding devices l4,15,16,l7.
  • Each forging saddle 1,2,3,4, and its associated sliding plunger 6,7,8,9 is provided with a drive comprising a piston in a hydraulic cylinder.
  • Each hydraulic cylinder, for example 21, 22, contains a differential piston 23, 24,. and the thrust for the forging saddle is obtained by applying hydraulic pressure to the main working faces 25, 26 of the pistons 23, 24. Retraction of the pistons is obtained by applying hydraulic fluid to the annular surface 27, 28 of each piston 23, 24.
  • Each forging piston 23,24 is connected at its inner end to its sliding plunger through a two-piece retainer disc 29, 31 and the thrust from the piston is transmitted through the plunger to the forging saddle.
  • each cylinder 21, 22 is anchored to the machine frame 18, 19 by means of a crosshead 32, 33 and tie rods 35 secured to the crosshead by retainer nuts 34.
  • each sliding plunger 6,7,8,9 is covered over by a protective cap 36, 37, 38, 39, each of which has an opening 41, 42 for accommodating the outer end of the associated forging saddle.
  • Each protective cap 36,37,38,39 has side walls which house a guiding flange 43,44,45,46 projecting from one or other of the two halves 18,19 of the machine frame.
  • Each projecting flange 43,44,45,46 houses one of the sliding plungers 6,7,8,9.
  • each sliding plunger 6,7,8,9 contains transverse drillings 47,48 through which there flows a stream of cooling medium.
  • the direction of the deformation resistance offered by the workpiece and acting on each forging saddle does not coincide with the direction of application of the thrust from the forging piston and acting along the axis of the sliding plunger. Consequently, comparatively high thrusts are applied to the guiding devices supporting the plunger.
  • the direction of action of the deformation resistance P can be divided into two force components P P at right angles to each other, and it is desirable to prevent these force components as far as possible from acting on the guiding devices to 17.
  • each sliding plunger 6,7,8,9, and the length of each forward guiding device 11, and therefore the position of the force line 51 of the force component P are chosen so that the torques applied by the force components P and P over their lever arms I, and 1 are equal and opposite to each other. Consequently only the forward guiding device 11 is subjected to the action of the force component P and other guiding devices remain largely unloaded.
  • neighboring pairs of forging saddles must be adjustable in position transversely with respect to the forging axis, that is to say transversely of the direction of advance of the workpiece 5.
  • this is obtained by joining together the two parts 18 and 19 of the machine frame by means of adjustment spindles 52, each of which has an external thread which works in an internally threaded bush or nut 55.
  • the outer end 53 of each spindle rotates in a bush 56 fixed to the machine frame part 18, 19 opposite to that in which the bush 55 is fitted.
  • the two working cylinders 21, 22 for neighboring forging saddles in the same machine part 18, 19 may, if desired, be fed with hydraulic fluid from separate pumps.
  • the quantities of hydraulic fluid fed to the two cylinders can be precisely metered, or if desired a hydraulic synchronization control system can be used.
  • a mechanical driving system for example using eccentrics or screw threaded sp'indles, may be used.
