[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention forging and forging a cylindrical part having a substantially spherical bulge at the center and having radially concave ridges at both end faces from a cylindrical blank. It is about the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an automobile or the like, as shown in FIG.
A cylindrical part (1) having (7) is used. One of the applicants has previously proposed a manufacturing method capable of efficiently manufacturing the cylindrical part (1) by forging and forging to improve the stop of the material part and to efficiently manufacture the cylindrical part (Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-18101).

[0003] The method of manufacturing the above cylindrical part is to drive a driving pin deep into a solid blank near the opposite end face of the blank to form a cylindrical member with a bottom. In the next step, a bottom portion of the cylindrical member with a bottom is formed. Is punched out to form a cylindrical member having both ends open, and the center of the cylindrical member is slightly expanded in the next step, and the center of the cylindrical member is expanded spherically in the final step. The cylindrical part (1) obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method was formed hollow only by punching in both ends, and the outer diameter was almost the same as the outer diameter of the columnar blank, and the workability was small. For this reason, there is a problem that the cylindrical portions at both ends of the cylindrical component (1) are easily deformed. As shown in FIG. 4, in order to increase the friction with the mating member on the end face of the cylindrical part (1), it is sometimes required to form a radially concave streak. It is performed in the process, and the processing efficiency is poor.

[0004] The present invention has a cylindrical shape having a substantially spherical bulging portion at the center portion and radially concave ridges at both end surfaces, and having excellent strength and high durability due to a forging line peculiar to forging and forging. The purpose of the present invention is to clarify a method by which parts can be efficiently manufactured through a series of forging and forging processes.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a method for forging and forging a cylindrical part having a substantially spherical bulging portion at a center portion and having cylindrical members (16) at both ends. In the method of forging and forging by a transfer press in which a plurality of dies are arranged adjacent to each other, a driving pin (6) is deeply driven into a solid blank near the opposite end face of the blank to form a cylindrical member with a bottom. (1c) is formed, and in the next step, the bottom of the bottomed cylindrical member (1c) is punched to form a cylindrical member (1d) having both ends opened, and in the next step, both ends of the cylindrical member (1d) are cut. The diameter is reduced to a small diameter, and the center of the cylindrical member is expanded in a spherical shape by the final process, and the convex ridges provided radially on the distal end surfaces of the cylindrical knockout pins (66) and (83) abutting on both end surfaces of the cylindrical member ( 66a and 83a, the concave ridges (10) corresponding to the convex ridges (66a) and (83a) are radially formed on the end surface of the tubular member.

[0006]

[Operation and Effect] The driving pin (6) is driven into the solid blank (1b) deeply near the opposite end face of the blank to form a bottomed cylindrical member (1c). Work hardening that occurs near the connecting portion of the cylindrical body occurs on the end side of the cylindrical member (1c). Therefore, the work hardening at the central portion of the cylindrical member that expands in a spherical shape in a later step is small and uniform, and the cylindrical member can be expanded without difficulty.

In the next step, since both ends of the cylindrical member (1d) are narrowed to a small diameter, the working degree of this portion is further increased, and work hardening is caused to be difficult to deform. A convex step (66a) (83a) radially provided on the distal end surface of the cylindrical knockout pin (66) (83), which inflates the center of the cylindrical member into a spherical shape by the final step and abuts against both end surfaces of the cylindrical member. Accordingly, the concave ridges (10) corresponding to the convex ridges (66a) and (83a) can be radially formed on the end surface of the cylindrical member, that is, the cylindrical part is formed by a series of forging and forging steps.
Since the processing up to the processing of the concave stripe (10) on the end face of (1) can be completed, the cylindrical part (1) can be manufactured efficiently. Furthermore, cylindrical parts (1)
For example, the flow of material is not interrupted by forging / forging, that is, the strength is excellent and the durability can be improved by the forging line peculiar to forging / forging.

Further, the flow of the material of the completed tubular part (1) is not interrupted by forging and forging, that is, the forging and forging have a unique forging line, which is excellent in strength and durability. Can be improved. Even if a shaft (not shown) is fitted to the tubular part (1), the space between the substantially spherical bulging portion (17) and the shaft becomes hollow, which can contribute to weight reduction.

In practicing the present invention, in the fifth step shown in FIG. 3e, both ends of the cylindrical member (1e) may be squeezed and the central portion may be preliminarily slightly expanded. By pre-expanding before the center of the cylindrical member expands to the final spherical shape, it can be easily expanded to a spherical shape in the final process, a beautiful substantially spherical bulge without uneven thickness and cracks (17) Can be manufactured.
