1 | Method for joining axle components | US10989109 | 2004-11-16 | US20060032895A1 | 2006-02-16 | Robert Durand; James Duggan |
A method of joining two vehicle axle housing components made from the same or dissimilar materials includes providing a first axle housing component, and providing a second axle housing component, where one of the first and second axle housing components is a metallic component made of a metallic material. A portion of one of the first and second axle housing components is positioned within a portion of the other of the axle housing components in an overlapping manner, thereby forming an overlapping portion. A metallic band may be disposed around the overlapping portion. An inductor is positioned around the overlapping portion. The inductor is energized to generate a magnetic field for collapsing at least one of the overlapping portion and the metallic band, thereby securing the first and second axle housing components together. | ||||||
2 | Manufacturing method for irregular-section tubular body and axle beam for torsion beam | US09788489 | 2001-02-21 | US20010022099A1 | 2001-09-20 | Yukikazu Ueno; Setsuko Shimada; Tetsuji Sano |
The present invention intends to provide a manufacturing method of an irregular-section tubular body in which a manufacturing process is simplified, and complexing and large-sizing of an equipment, and increase of an equipment cost are avoided. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, a tubular worked body 1 sealed liquid W therein is press-formed by a press upper mold 6 and a press lower mold 3. One of the press upper and lower molds has one convex mold portion 3a to form a concave portion 1a concaved in an axis perpendicular direction at an axial part. The press-forming of the worked body to the tubular body is completed by one stroke process by using a liquid pressure increasing as decrease of internal volume of the worked body due to formation of the concave portion. Thus, liquid in the worked body is not pressurized by a pressurizing device after the press-forming. | ||||||

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid complication and large-sizing of equipment and an increase in an equipment cost by simplifying a manufacturing process. SOLUTION: While sealing a liquid W in the inside of a body 1 to be worked, press forming is conducted with a press lower die 3 having a projecting die part 3a and a press upper die 6, a recessed part 1a, which is recessed by the projecting die part 3a at right angle to the axial direction, is formed in at least a part of the axial direction of the body 1 to be worked. At this time, by using a liquid pressure raised by decrease in an inside volume of the body 1 to be worked resulting from forming the recessed part 1a, without pressurizing the liquid in the body 1 to be worked, the forming from the body 1 to be worked to a final shape of a cylindrical body with a deformed cross section is completed in one stroke from a press start point to a press completion point. | ||||||

10 | Tubular axle beam | US10424082 | 2003-04-25 | US20030192185A1 | 2003-10-16 | Tomaz Dopico Varela |
A tubular axle beam with variable wall thickness for a vehicle is provided including a first beam portion extending longitudinally between first ends and including spaced apart first longitudinal edges. A second beam portion extends longitudinally between second ends and includes spaced apart second longitudinal edges. Weld beads secure the first longitudinal edges to the second longitudinal edges to define a cavity between the beam portions with the first and second ends arranged adjacent to one another. Preferably, the tubular axle beam is constructed by stamping a first blank to form a first half of the beam, and a second blank is stamped to form a second half of the beam. The first and second portions are welded to one another to define a cavity between the portions. In another embodiment of the invention, a tubular axle beam includes a hollow beam extending longitudinally between opposing ends. A reinforcing sleeve is arranged concentric to the hollow beam between the ends with the reinforcing sleeve secured to the hollow beam, preferably, by weld beads. The hollow beam and reinforcing sleeve initially may be cylindrical tubes that are secured to one another. Subsequently the hollow beam and reinforcing sleeve may be bent into a desired shape and then further formed using a hydroforming or other process to obtain cross-sectional areas of various shapes along the length of the beam. | ||||||
11 | Axle housing cover with variable thickness | US09814016 | 2001-03-21 | US20020134194A1 | 2002-09-26 | Raymond A. Milio |
An axle housing cover is provided including a generally dome-shaped portion having a first thickness with the dome-shaped portion terminating in a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge has a second thickness greater than the first thickness with the perimeter edge providing a weld surface. Preferably, the second thickness is approximately twice that of the first thickness. Since the dome-shaped portion has a reduced thickness, reinforcing ribs may be formed in the dome-shaped portion to provide increased structural integrity. The cover may include a flange extending radially from the cover, which provides the weld surface that is then welded to the axle housing. The axle housing cover may be formed by a stamping or a hydroforming process. | ||||||

The invention provides a method of manufacturing an irregular section tubular body and axle beam. The axle beam has a tubular worked body that has sealed liquid therein and is press-formed by upper and lower press molds. One of the press molds has a convex mold portion to form a concave portion concaved in an axis perpendicular direction at an axial part of the axle beam. The press-forming of the tubular worked body is completed by a one stroke process using liquid pressure that increases as the internal volume of the worked body decreases due to formation of the concave portion. The concave portion extends substantially the length of the axle beam and has a substantially U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section forming a closed and sealed space. | ||||||
