Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to a technology for restraining weld flash generated by cutting process to the minimum when products having a cut-finished surface by cutting and an adjacent surface intersected with the cut-finished surface are molded.


2. Description of the Related Art


As shown in FIG. 12, a weld flash 22 is generated at a corner part between a cut-finished surface and an adjacent intersecting surface, toward a moving direction of cutting tools, when the cut-finished surface is formed flatly by cutting a part of a molding article.


Therefore a generated weld flash is removed by using a wire brush, a file (rasp) or an electrolytic burring machine, and if necessary, a corner part is chamfered.


In the conventional practice, it was common that one product had many portions whereon weld flash were generated. It was difficult to remove the weld flash one by one. The finished surface was scratched and the condition of the finished surface after removing weld flash varied widely in a scattering due to the manual work. In result the available percentage was bad.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to drawings, perforated clutch gear of the preferred embodiment according to a chamfering method of the present invention will be described.



FIGS. 1A-1D are views showing molding process using the forging device. In FIGS. 1A-1D, 1 is a cope and 2 is a drag.


A disc form cavity 2a is formed on the drag 2 and a top surface of the cavity 2a is open. A mandrel 3 is provided in a center hole of the cavity 2a.


On the other hand, escape concave portion 4 is formed on the surface of the cope 1 by digging a part corresponding to the mandrel 3 and pusher punches 5,5 . . . are provided concentrically with the escape concave portion 4.


As shown in FIG. 2, surfaces 6 for forming chamfer parts are formed around on a base of the pusher punches 5,5 . . . , at a part corresponding to a corner part between a cutting surface and an adjacent intersecting surface.


When a doughnut-type work W is set in the cavity 2a of the drag 2 by this chamfer device and the work W is pressed by sending the cope 1 down, the work W is depressed in the cavity 2a and the pusher punches 5,5 . . . intrude into the work W deeply, as shown FIG. 1B.


After finishing molding, the cope 1 is sent up and knockout pins (not shown in figures) push the work W out so as to provide the first molded article WI having concave portions 7,7 . . . formed on the top surface thereof, as shown in FIG. 1C.


A chamfer part 8 is formed at the corner part of the finished surface and the concave portions 7 formed on the surface of this first molded article W1, as shown in FIG. 3.


Then a peripheral surface of the first molded article W1 is cut so as to form tooth 9 form on the peripheral surface of the first molded article W1 and a top surface of the first molded article W1 having the concave portions 7 is cut so as to form a finished surface F and provide product W2.


As shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to cut the cut-finished surface so as to remain the chamfer part at the corner part of the finished surface F and the concave portion 7 in the finishing process. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or restrain occurring of weld flash on an elongation of a cutting direction.


The first embodiment of the present invention was described on the product having the concave portions formed on one side surface thereof. The present invention is not to be restricted by the first embodiment and may be applied to products having concave portions formed on both sides surfaces thereof. Referring to FIG. 5, the embodiment will be described.


In the figures the same reference numerals will be used as those of the first preferred embodiment corresponding to the mutual parts, and won't be precisely described here.


This forging device have a cope 1 having a punch 10 and a drag 2 having a counter punch 11 and the upper punch 10 and the counter punch 11 are provided symmetrically. Surfaces for forming chamfers 6 are formed around at the bases of these punches 10, 11 corresponding to corner parts of the cut-finished surfaces and the adjacent surfaces as same as the first embodiment.


Referring to FIG. 6, when a work W is pressed by sending the cope 1 down, the work W is depressed in the cavity 2a and upper and lower concave portions 12, 13 having a chamfer part 8 formed at the corner part of mouth thereof are formed respectively on the surfaces depressed from both sides by the upper punch 10 and the counterpunch 11.


After removing the work W from the forging device, the both sides surfaces of the work W are finished by cutting.


As described in the first preferred embodiments, the cut-finished surface is cut so as to remain the chamfer part 8 at the corner part of the finished surface F and the concave portions 12,13. Therefore, it is possible to prevent occurring weld flash on an elongation of a cutting direction.


As shown FIG. 7, a part wedged between concave portions may be left or may be pierced so as to form a penetrating hole 14 by pierce process.


The penetrating hole may be formed at the step of the first molded article. In a case that the penetrating hole is formed by forging, a sloping surface having a desired angle may be formed under certain conditions and there is an advantage that the sloping surface of the draft angle can be used as a chamfer.


Referring to FIGS. 8A-8D, the first molded article having a penetrating hole will be described.


The forging device comprises a cope 1 provided with a projected penetrating punch 15 whose length is slightly longer than that of the depth of a cavity and a drag 2 provided with a penetrated down hole 16 whose cross section area is larger than that of the penetrated down punch 15, formed on a part corresponding to the penetrated down punch 15.


When a doughnut-type work W is molded to form a penetrated down hole 17 by such a forging device, a chamfer 8 is formed on the top surface of the work W and simultaneously a sloping surface 18 of the draft angle is formed at a mouth of a hole of a bottom surface as shown in FIG. 9.


The top surface of the work W is cut so as to remain a chamfer 8 formed at a corner part of a finished surface F and a penetrating hole 17 as same as the first or second embodiment of the present invention and the bottom surface is cut in the finishing so as to remain the sloping surface 18 and the sloping surface is used in place of the chamfer. And that ends to prevent occurring weld flash.


The sloping surface of the draft angle is not only used in place of the chamfer, but also as shown in FIG. 8C after molding a penetrating hole, the chamfer may be formed by the sloping surface with the forging device provided a projected down punch 20 having a part for forming 19 on the bottom of a cavity 2a, and then the cut-finished surface will be able to cut by cutting process as shown in FIG. 10.


In each embodiment, a tooth form is formed by cutting the first molded article having no tooth form. Although, the tooth form, a concave portion and a penetrating hole may be formed simultaneously.


Further, a chamfer part may be formed at not only corner part of mouth of concave portions but also every part on which weld flash is generated on elongation of cut-finished surface by cutting, in other words, every corner part of finished surface. Therefore, as a matter of course, this technique may be applied to all machine parts except a clutch gear provided with concave portions or the penetrating hole and may be applied favorably to a case that an edge surface of projective portion 21 is finished as shown in FIG. 11.


According to the embodiments, as described above, weld flash would not be occurred on the corner part. In the present embodiment the cut-finished surface is cut so as to remain a chamfer part which is beforehand formed on the corner part by forging process.


In the embodiment, a number of process is few owing to forming the chamfer, the concave portion or the hole simultaneously by one press molding step, but all steps other than chamfering may be carried out by cutting.


The preferred embodiments of the present invention, as herein disclosed are taken as some embodiments for explaining the present invention. It is to be understood that the present invention should not be restricted by these embodiments and any modifications and additions are possible so far as they are not beyond the technical idea or principle based on descriptions of the scope of the patent claims.
