Definitions

  • This invention relates specifically to the pressing of powder metal helical gears.
  • a lower tool punch is fastened rigidly to a lower ram of a press.
  • a die is clamped to a press table.
  • An upper tool punch is clamped rigidly to an upper ram of the press.
  • a center pin or core rod is usually fixed securely to a lower center ram of the press, i.e., a core rod ram if the pressed article is to include a central bore or the like.
  • any inner or outer configuration on the article to be formed such as keys, keyways, gear tooth forms, cam contours or any geometric form, must be on an axis with the vertical motion of the press rams to allow punch entrance into the die for pressing the powder metal and to allow ejection of the pressed article from the die.
  • the invention will be specifically described in connection with apparatus for manufacturing powder metal helical gears although it is not intended to be limited thereto and finds application elsewhere. For example, it is readily applicable to the pressing of plastic powder and may be used to fabricate a wide variety of off-axis configurations.
  • the tool punches In the case of helical gears, the tool punches have helical lands and the die has corresponding helical grooves into which the punches turn.
  • FIG. 1 is a detailed side view of a preferred apparatus according to the invention which is shown partly in section;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary elevational view of the apparatus showing the upper punch and cam arrangement partly in sectron;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of the apparatus showing the lower cam arrangement partly in section;
  • FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the upper punch
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical section through the upper punch
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view of the upper punch showing the land patterns thereof;
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the lower punch
  • FIG. 8 is a vertical section through the lower punch
  • FIG. 9 is a fragmentary view of the lower punch showing the land pattern thereof.
  • FIG. 10 is a plan view of the die
  • FIG. 11 is a vertical section through the die showing the groove pattern therein.
  • the invention contemplates in its preferred embodiment the pressing of powder metal in a die by subjecting the powder to a compacting pressure from two substantially oppositely disposed punches while simultaneously twisting or rotating the punches.
  • a compacting pressure from two substantially oppositely disposed punches while simultaneously twisting or rotating the punches.
  • the novel apparatus shown therein includes upper and lower tool members, generally indicated at 10 and 12 respectively, disposed on opposite sides of a die table 14.
  • a die 16 having a powder receiving bore 17 is secured to the die table by a clamping ring 18 and bolt 20 as shown.
  • Upper and lower tool members 10 and 12 are respectively fastened to the upper and lower rams 22 and 24 of a conventional vertical press (not shown) by means of fixed pressure plates 26 and 28 as shown. These plates are fixed in the sense that they are not free to rotate but are only capable of reciprocating movement according to the movement of the rams of the press.
  • Rotary movement of the tool members with respect to plates 26 and 28 is provided by means of rotary pressure plates 30 and 32 which are positioned against pressure plates 26 and 28 respectively by clamping means such as clamping rings 36 and 38, which are shown bolted to plates 26 and 28 respectively.
  • the clamping rings are preferably positioned against the rotary plates in combination with sets of ball bearings 40 as shown.
  • bearing assemblies 34 which may consist of precision taper roller bearings as shown.
  • upper and lower tool members 42 and 44 Securely fastened to rotary plates 30 and 32 respectively are upper and lower tool members 42 and 44 which form, along with upper and lower cam follower means such as rollers 46 and 48, a cam arrangement associated with the apparatus punch means for imparting a pre-determined twisting or rotary motion to the upper and lower tool members when they are raised and lowered relative to the die for insertion therein.
  • the arrangement may consist of a pair of oppositely disposed assemblies as shown or only one assembly or more than two if necessary.
  • Tool members 42 and 44 each include sets of cam track means or channels, such as grooves 50 and 52 which are better seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the grooves are precision ground to the identical helix angle required on the part to be pressed and are peripherally disposed around the members.
  • the grooves and rollers may be of any shape such as cylindrical or tapered as is well known in the: cam art. Furthermore, sliding contact or rolling contact may be used although rolling contact is preferred.
  • Upper and lower tool members 10 and 12 are engaged by suitable cam follower means, such as rollers 46 and 48, which project into grooves 50 and 52 respectively.
  • the rollers project inwardly from and are rotatably secured to their respective cam follower support means such as column assemblies 54 and 56 which are in turn. secured to die table 14 as shown.
  • the support means positions the cam follower means for engagement with the cam tracks.
  • the columns are preferably in pairs and spaced on the center line of die 16 as shown, left and right, to permit entrance over the die for powder fill.
  • Upper and lower punch means such as punches S8 and 60, are secured to the upper and lower tool members by, for example, bolted clamp rings 62 and 64.
  • the punches have several peripheral helical lands 66 as best seen in FIGS. 4 through 6 for upper punch 58 and FIGS. 7 through 9 for lower punch 60. These lands have a predetermined warp or helix angle depending on the specifications desired in the helical gear to be pressed.
  • Die 16 is correspondingly helically grooved as indicated at 68 in FIGS. 10 and 11 to mate with the lands on punches 58 and 60.
  • the helix angle tooth form 68 may be machined into the bore wall of die 16 as can be best seen in those Figures.
  • Lower tool member 12 further includes a core rod assembly generally indicated at 70 comprising an elongated core rod 72 which is rotatably mounted by means of caged tapered bearing race assembly including tapered bearings 74 for free rotation within lower tool member 12 as shown in FIG. 1.
  • Assembly 70 may be covered by neoprene seal 76 or the like as shown.
  • An additional seal such as O-ring 78 may be included in the upper portion of lower tool member 12 also if desired. The purpose of the seals is to provide protection against the entrance of falling powder metal.
  • the lands or edges of the punches move in a helical path as the punches rotate and move into and out of the die.
  • the exact configuration and length of the cam tracks is of course dependent upon the particular shape of the tooth pattern or the like desired in the pressed article.
  • the lower tool member 12 undergoes a similar movement but to less extent as can be seen from the differences in position between the two tool members in the drawing.
  • Core rod 72 extending through the axial bore 80 of lower punch'60 also extends into axial bore 82 of upper punch 58 during pressing to form a center hole in the helical gear.
  • the die does not direct the punches through the twisting or rotary motion.
  • Such an approach has been tried unsuccessfully due to the fact that dies are usually made of materials such as tungsten carbide which can absorb extremely high pressures but which are brittle and have little or no resistance to shear. It is therefore an important feature of this invention that the cam arrangement generate the rotary movement during pressing without substantial aid or direction from the die.
  • upper punch 58 is raised and lower punch 60 turns upwardly into the die until the piece is ejected.
  • the pressed gear turns freely in the die to permit its ejection therefrom.
  • the punch is then returned to its initial position and the apparatus is ready to press another piece.
  • the gear may be subjected to a sintering heat treatment or the like to complete its manufacture.
  • the pressing operation of the apparatus disclosed herein has been described as involving the simultaneous downward movement of the upper punch and upward movement of the lower punch, it is contemplated that other modes of operation may be used
  • the lower punch may be inserted into the die and maintained in a fixed position during pressing by the upper punch. The lower punch would move only to eject the pressed piece.
  • any powder material may be pressed in this fashion such as plastic powders, ferrous and non-ferrous metal powders and the like.
  • the cam tracks could be formed in the column supports and the followers could be carried by the upper and lower tool members.
  • the apparatus provides punches adapted to be rotatably inserted into a die by the vertical motion of the rams of a conventional press.
  • a predetermined rotary motion is provided by a cam arrangement associated with the punches, the arrangement including cam track means and cam follower means which impart the predetemiined rotary motion to the punches during insertion into the die.
  • the helix angle generated by the punch rotation permits the punches to enter the die press the part and eject it.
  • a powder pressing apparatus comprising:
  • the tool member including peripherally disposed helically configured path cam track means and coacting cam follower means associated with the cam track means for imparting controlled rotary motion to the tool member during its reciprocation,
  • cam follower support means positioning the cam follower means in engagement with the cam track means
  • a powder receiving die member positioned to receive an end of the tool member
  • punch means disposed at the end of the tool member for insertion into the die when the tool member reciprocates
  • the punch means and die including mating lands and grooves which are so shaped relative to the configuration of the cam track means such that when the tool member reciprocates and controllably rotates the punch means into and out of the die member the rotation imparted to the punch means, by the cam track means and cam follower means alone, twists it into and out of the die member in mating fashion.
  • the apparatus of claim 1 including:
  • a rotary pressure plate connected to the tool member and oppositely disposed thereon with respect to the punch means
  • a clamping means positioning the rotary plate against the fixed plate but rotatable with respect thereto
  • a bearing assembly positioned between the rotary plate and fixed plate whereby the rotary plate may rotate freely with respect to the fixed plate.
