Specification

Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a crank shaft by hot forging.
Background technique
[0002]
 Automobiles, motorcycles, agricultural machines, the reciprocating engine such as a marine vessel, in order to convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational movement takes power, the crankshaft is essential. Crankshaft can be produced by die forging or casting. When the high strength and high rigidity are required to the crankshaft, forged crankshaft manufactured by forging is widely used.
[0003]
 Generally, in the manufacture of forged crankshaft, and the billet raw material. In that billet cross-section is round or square cross-sectional area is constant over the entire length. Manufacturing process of forging the crank shaft includes preforming step, the mold forging step, a burr punching process. If correction is needed, add a shaping step after the Bali punching process. Usually, preforming step includes a roll forming process and the bending beating process, the mold forging step includes a rough beating step and finishing beating process.
[0004]
 Figure 1A ~ FIG. 1F is a schematic diagram for explaining a conventional general forged crankshaft manufacturing process. Crankshaft 1 illustrated in FIG. 1F is mounted on four-cylinder engine, a crankshaft of a four-cylinder -8 sheets counterweight. As the crank shaft 1, the five journal portions J1 ~ J5,4 one pin portions P1 ~ P4, the front portion Fr, flanges Fl, and eight of the crank arm portion (hereinafter, simply referred to as "arm") A1 consisting of ~ A8. Each arm portion A1 ~ A8 is, connecting the journal portion J1 ~ J5 and the pin portion P1 ~ P4. Also, all of the arms A1 ~ A8 of eight, the counterweight unit (hereinafter, simply referred to as "weight part") having W1 ~ W8 integrally.
[0005]
 Four pin portions P1 ~ P4 are both eccentric with respect to the journals J1 ~ J5. Phase of the pin portion P1 ~ P4 is appropriately set so as to be plane-symmetrical about the longitudinal center of the journal portion J3 of the crankshaft 1. Thus, the arm portions A4, A5 connected with a central journal section J3 becomes plane-symmetrical about the journal portion J3. That is, the two arm portions A4, A5 are both connected with the same phase pin P2, P3 along with leading the same journal portion J3.
[0006]
 Hereinafter, when collectively each journal portion J1 ~ J5, pin P1 ~ P4, the arm portions A1 ~ A8, and the weight portion W1 ~ W8, the sign, in the journal portion "J", a pin portion "P" , also referred to as "a", "W" in the weight portion in the arm portion. Together a pair of arm portions A (including the weight portion W) which leads to the pin portion P and the pin portion P is also referred to as "slow".
[0007]
 In the manufacturing method shown in FIGS. 1A ~ FIG 1F, forged crankshaft 1 is manufactured as follows. First, after heating the predetermined length of the billet 2, as shown in FIG. 1A by a heating furnace (e.g., an induction heating furnace or gas heating furnace), and roll forming. The roll forming process, squeeze rolling a billet 2 using, for example, grooved roll. Thus, allocating the volume of the billet 2 in the longitudinal direction to obtain a roll wasteland 3 is an intermediate material (see FIG. 1B). Next, in the bending beating process, partially reduction roll wasteland 3 longitudinally from a vertical direction. Thus, allocating the volume of the roll wasteland 3, it is a further intermediate material bending obtain wasteland 4 (see FIG. 1C).
[0008]
 Subsequently, the rough beating step, by reduction using a pair of molds bending wasteland 4 vertically to obtain a rough forged material 5 (see FIG. 1D). Rough forged material 5 has the approximate shape of a crank shaft (final product). Furthermore, the finishing beating process, obtaining a finish forged material 6 by reduction using a pair of molds rough forged material 5 up and down (see FIG. 1E). Finishing forged material 6 having a substantially matching shape to the crankshaft of the final product. In these rough beating and finishing beating process, excess material flows out from between the parting surface of the mold facing each other, the burr. Therefore, the rough forging 5 and the finishing forging 6, burrs 5a, 6a are attached largely around the shape of the crankshaft.
[0009]
 In Bali punching step, for example, the finish forged material 6 with burrs 6a while holding a pair of molds, punching burrs 6a by blade type. Thus, to remove the burrs 6a from the finishing forging 6. In this manner, forging burr is removed can be obtained. Forging burr is removed is substantially the same shape as the forged crankshaft 1 shown in FIG. 1F. Forging burr has been removed, a plurality of journal portions J of the forged crankshaft, a plurality of pin portion P, and corresponds to each of the plurality of arm portions A and the weight portion W, a plurality of rough journal portions J ', a plurality of crude pin portion P ', the plurality of coarse crank arm a' comprises and coarse weight portion W '.
[0010]
 The shaping step, slightly rolling the mold burr key points forging removed from above and below to correct forging burrs have been removed to the size shape of the final product. Here, the key point of forging burr has been removed, for example, crude journal portion J is a 'rough pin portion P', rough arm A 'and the coarse weight portion W'. Furthermore, the key point of the forging burr has been removed, the front section Fr, and the crude front portion corresponding to the shaft portion, such as flange portion Fl of the crank shaft, and a shaft portion of such crude flange. Thus, forged crankshaft 1 is manufactured.
[0011]
 Manufacturing process shown in FIGS. 1A ~ FIG 1F is not limited to the crank shaft of a four-cylinder -8 Like counterweight shown in Fig. 1F, it can be applied to various crankshaft. For example, the manufacturing process shown in FIGS. 1A ~ FIG. 1F can be applied to the crankshaft of a four-cylinder -4 Like counterweight.
[0012]
 Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of a crankshaft of a four-cylinder -4 Like counterweight. The crankshaft of a four-cylinder -4 Like counterweight shown in FIG. 2, the top first arm A1 of the eighth arm portion A8 rearmost, and two arm portions of the center (the fourth arm portion A4, the 5 arm A5) weight portion W1, W4, W5, W8 is provided integrally. Further, the remaining arm portions A2, A3, A6, A7 has no weight portion.
[0013]
 Manufacturing process shown in FIGS. 1A ~ FIG. 1F, 3-cylinder engine, series 6-cylinder engine, V-type 6-cylinder engine, even crankshaft mounted in eight-cylinder engine or the like can be applied. Incidentally, when the adjustment of the arrangement angle of the pin portion is required, after the burr punching process, twisting process is added.
[0014]
 Recently, in particular reciprocating engine for motor vehicles, weight reduction is demanded in order to improve fuel economy. Therefore, also the crank shaft mounted on a reciprocating engine, the weight reduction request is remarkably. As a conventional art to reduce the weight of the forged crankshaft, there is the following.
[0015]
 Patent Documents 1 and 2, the arm portion hole in the surface of the journal portion is formed is described. Method for producing a crankshaft having an arm portion which is formed a hole portion are also described. Hole of the arm portion, the straight line connecting the axial center of the axis and the pin portion of the journal portion (hereinafter, also referred to as "arm center line") is molded on, recessed deeper toward the pin portion. Thus, the volume fraction of the hole, the arm portion is lightweight. Weight of the arm leads to weight reduction of the weight portion constituting the arm portion and the pair thus leading to reduction in the overall weight of the forged crankshaft. The arm portion hole is formed, since the thickness in both sides of the pin in the vicinity between which arm center line is thick, rigidity (torsional rigidity and flexural rigidity) is ensured.
[0016]
 In this way, increasing the thickness of the side portions of the arm portions, if no dent in the surface of the journal portion of the arm portion, can be reduced weight and rigidity ensuring at the same time.
[0017]
 However, forged crankshaft having an arm portion of such unique shape is difficult to manufacture by conventional manufacturing methods. In die forging process, if an attempt forming a recess in the arm portion surface, because the type draft mold recessed portion is reversed gradient. In this case, a situation that shaped forging can not escape from the mold occurs.
[0018]
 To cope with such a situation, in the production method described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in the die forging process, forming small arm without forming a recess in the arm surface. Further, after the burr punching step, pushing a punch on the surface of the coarse arm, forming a recess by traces of the punch.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0020]
 According to the manufacturing method described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, by forming a recess in the surface of the journal portion of the arm portion, it is possible to increase the thickness of the side portions of the arm portions. This allows manufacturing a forged crankshaft which attained weight and rigidity ensuring at the same time.
[0021]
 However, in the manufacturing method of Patent Document 1 and 2, in order to mold the recess in the arm portion surface, to deform the entire strongly pushed by the coarse arm punch to rough arm surface. Therefore, it takes a great deal of force to push the punch. Therefore, special equipment configuration for imparting a great deal of force to the punch is required, it is necessary to consider with respect to durability of the punch.
[0022]
 Accordingly, the present inventors have, PCT / JP2014 / 005835 (hereinafter, referred to as "Patent Document 3") in, by folding the excess thickness portion was proposed to forming a recess in the surface of the journal portion of the arm portion . Specifically, in the die forging process, forming a forged material having an excess thickness portion protruding from both side portions respectively of the outer periphery of the rough pin portion near the coarse arm. In shaping step, folding the excess thickness portion by a pair of molds with vertical toward the rough journal portion of the surface of the coarse arm. In this case, in order to shape the recess may be necessary to impart a great deal of force without obtaining a forged crankshaft which attained weight and rigidity ensuring at the same time conveniently.
[0023]
 In Patent Document 3, in shaping processes, when bending toward the excess thickness portion to the rough journal portion of the surface of the coarse arm portion, the area of ​​both sides among the rough journal portion of the surface of the coarse arm the surface except proposed to hold by abutting the tool. Thus, the shape of both side portions of the arm portion, can be precisely shaped.
[0024]
 Further, in PCT / JP2014 / 005850 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 4"), and proposed that crushed instead of bending. Specifically, by crushing the excess thickness portion by a pair of molds in vertical, it proposed to forming a recess in the surface of the journal portion of the arm portion. Any patent document 4, when crushing the excess thickness portion, the surface except the regions on both sides among the rough journal portion of the surface of the coarse arm, proposed to hold by abutting the tool.
[0025]
 However, it tends to become insufficient movable range for the contact with the tool on the surface of the rough journal portion of the crude arm. In particular, when contacting a tool to the coarse arm in a plane symmetrical with respect to the crude journal portion, the movable range of the tool is insufficient easily. The reason will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A ~ Figure 3E.
[0026]
 Figure 3A ~ 3E are the plane-symmetrical two coarse arm is a schematic view showing a moving mechanism of the tool when in contact with the tool on the surface thereof rough journal portion skilled. Figure 3A is a top view showing the positional relationship between the forging and the tool, FIG. 3B is a perspective view of the movable mechanism, FIG. 3C is a top view when the tool is in the contact position, FIG. 3D when the tool is in the retracted position top view of FIG. 3E is a sectional view taken along the IIIE-IIIE line in FIG. 3C. Movable mechanism includes a mold 10, two tool 92, a jig 93. In order to facilitate understanding of the drawing, FIG and FIG 3A 3E, not shown of the mold 10. FIG 3B ~ FIG 3D, showing a portion of a lower mold half 10. FIG 3A, shows a forging material used in the manufacture of a crankshaft of a four-cylinder -4 Like counterweight.
[0027]
 In Figure 3A, showing 'the case that faces the jig 93 is the third coarse journal portion J3' jig 93 and the second rough journal J2 and the case facing the. As shown in FIG. 3A, the tool 92 has its front end surface 92a abuts against the forging during the shaping process. The distal end surface 92a of the tool, is reflected shaped to conform to the surface of the journal portion of the arm portion. To accommodate the tool 92, the mold 10 has an open portion 10b is provided groove-like tool (see FIG. 3B).
[0028]
 During shaping process, the tool 92 is disposed in the contact position, as shown in FIG. 3C. Further, when loading of the shaping process before forging, and, at the time of unloading of the forging material after shaping processing, in order to separate the the tool 92 and the forging tool 92 is placed at the retracted position as shown in FIG. 3D that. Note that FIG. 3D, shows the shape of the front end surface of the tool at the abutment position by a two-dot chain line.
[0029]
 When the tool 92 is moved from the retracted position to the contact position, the tool 92 is moved along both sides 92b of both side surfaces and the tool 92 of the groove-shaped tool opening 10b (the solid line in FIG. And FIG. 3C 3D see arrows). That is, both side surfaces of the groove-shaped tool opening 10b and both side surfaces 92b of the tool 92 functions as a guide portion.
[0030]
 The tool 92 is held by the jig 93. Its jig 93 is accommodated in a groove-like jig opening of the mold 10. Further, the jig 93 is connected to a driving device (not shown), it is movable along the eccentric direction of the pin portion by the actuation of the drive unit (see arrows hatched in FIG. 3C).
[0031]
 The jig 93 is movably holding the tool 92. Jig 93 shown in FIGS. 3A ~ 3E are the movable tool 92 along the sliding direction (see broken line arrows in FIG. And FIG. 3C 3D). Therefore, the jig 93 includes a convex portion 93a extending along the sliding direction on the upper and lower surfaces. The convex portions 93a, as in the groove-shaped tool opening 10b of the die 10 is provided as a guide portion. Also, to accommodate the convex portion 93a of the jig on the back of the tool 92 (the surface of the front end face 92a opposite), as shown in FIG. 3E, the groove 92d is provided with recesses 92c.
[0032]
 Depending on the jig 93 is moved along the eccentric direction of the pin portion, the tool 92 is moved along the guide portion. Here, the movement of the sliding direction of the tool 92 is constrained by both side surfaces and both side surfaces 92b of the tool 92 of the groove-shaped tool opening 10b. Therefore, the jig 93 as it moves along the eccentric direction of the pin portion, the tool 92 is moved relative to the sliding direction with respect to the jig 93.
[0033]
 Here, in the crank shaft, as shown in FIG. 1F and Fig. 2, the arm portion A is provided with a plurality along a longitudinal direction of the crankshaft. For this reason, the space for placing the tool is narrow. Further, the movable mechanism of the tool shown in FIGS. 3A ~ Figure 3E, since the guide portion both sides 92b of the tool 92, the width of the tool is increased. These tool 92 tends to interfere with the jig 93 and the die 10, the movable range of the tool is insufficient. Therefore, after the shaping process, when unloading the forged material in the state in which the tool 92 to the retracted position, interfere with the tool 92 and the forging, out of shaping machined forging is difficult.
[0034]
 In particular, when the tool abuts against the two arm portions face symmetrically around the journal portion, it is necessary to arrange the two tools between the two arm portions, easy two tools interfere with each other. Therefore, the movable range of the tool is more insufficient.
[0035]
 An object of the present invention, when performing processing of deforming the excess thickness portion of the forging burr has been removed, can be secured the movable range of the tool, machined forging a smoothly unloaded forged crankshaft manufacturing apparatus It is to provide a.
