DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0039] The present invention is described further below with reference to drawings and specific implementations. It should be understood that these specific implementations are merely intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] As shown in the figures, according to a preparation process of a novel drill shank for an IMPACT gun drill of the present invention, a mold 1 and a forming block 2 are firstly manufactured. A forming blind hole 3 (triangular, square, pentagonal or hexagonal) is formed in the middle of the mold 1. An arc-shaped groove 4 is formed at a bottom of the forming blind hole 3. A square groove 5 is formed at an outer side of a top of the arc-shaped groove 4. The forming block 2 is of a cylinder structure with a downward opening. A vertical forming post 6 is disposed in the forming block 2 at the middle position. A top of the forming post 6 is connected with a back face of the forming block 2. A lower end of a forming block lateral face 7 is inserted into the square groove. A length of the forming post 6 is smaller than a length of the forming block 2. A wire pipe 8 is disposed in the mold 1. A pull ring 9 is disposed on the forming block 2. A feed port 10 is formed at one side of the pull ring 9. A heating cavity 11 is formed in the forming block lateral face 7 and the forming post 6.

[0041] In use, the forming block 2 is inserted into the forming blind hole 3, and the lower end of the forming block lateral face 7 is inserted into the square groove 5, as shown in FIG. 1. A space between a lower part of the forming block 2 and the forming blind hole 3 is a drill shank processing space. Firstly, metal powder is injected into the forming blind hole 3 from the feed port 10. After full injection, the feed port 10 is plugged and sealed. Then, a vibration machine drives the pull ring 9 to start vibration and to downwards press metal powder mixture inside until an upper plane of the forming block 2 is highly jacked to be a little higher than an upper plane of the mold 1 (a volume of the injected metal powder mixture is 5-8% greater than a volume of a finished product). At the same time, direct current and pulse current are input through electric sparks at the bottom, so as to communicate with the metal powder mixture. At the same time, an electric heating wire inside the heating cavity starts, and the metal powder mixture is heated at a heating temperature of 860-870° C. During pressing, electric spark forming is performed. Formation can be completed just by 2-3 min. The upper plane of the forming block 2 is flushed with the upper plane of the mold 1. A drill shank blank is taken out. At the moment, the blank has been formed, and cannot deform. The blank is in a hexagonal shape (may also be in a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape or a quinquangular shape). A non-cylinder cavity 13 is formed inside the blank. A hole diameter of the inside cavity generally does not exceed 6 mm. 1-4 planes 14 are formed at a lateral face of the non-cylinder cavity 13, as shown in FIG. 7. Then, deburring and surface processing are performed. Finally, a finished product is obtained through sintering densification. The present invention uses a powder pressing+electric spark forming+sintering method, after the electric spark forming, its structural shape cannot change, the dimension precision is high, and the dimension will not be influenced by the subsequent sintering, so that the matching precision of the finished product of the drill shank and the drill bit is high.

[0042] The inside non-cylinder cavity of the manufactured finished product of the drill shank can be used to clamp an arch-shaped surface drill shank (one plane), or a two-side-milled or three-side-milled drill shank. The planes of the two-side-milled drill shank may be symmetrical or nonsymmetrical, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0043] The forming block 2 of the present invention is manufactured with a 2Cr25Ni20 material, and can be taken up by gasping the pull ring 9. An inside surface of the forming block is not adhered to a surface of the drill shank, so that the demolding is convenient. The material oxidation resistant steel 2Cr25Ni20 is used, and can be easily separated from the blank. Additionally, the forming block can be repeatedly heated, has no scales even at 1000° C., and is suitable for scaled production.

[0044] For a material of the metal powder of the invention, 40% of iron powder and 0.5-0.6% of an adsorbing agent are added into tin bronze powder according to a weight ratio, and are uniformly stirred. Then, pressing+electric spark forming is performed. The adsorbing agent (graphene) in the blank is removed. The drill shank obtained after sintering has high strength, and also has toughness, impact resistance, high torque and small radial runout at the same time. The service life is 1 to 2 times longer than that of a zinc alloy shank

[0045] The graphene of the present invention has a greater specific surface area, is not polluted by metal ions, and is thus used as the adsorbing agent for the metal powder. After the drill shank is formed, the adsorbing agent in the drill shank blank is removed by an extraction method. The recovery rate is high. The preparation cost is reduced.

[0046] The forming post 6 of the present invention is a non-cylinder structure with a plane, but is substantially still a cylinder provided with one or a plurality of planes at a lateral face of the cylinder, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, to ensure high torque of the drill bit.

[0047] In step (1) of the present invention, the lower end of the forming block lateral face 7 is in wedge 15 fit with the lateral face of the square groove 5, as shown in FIG. 1. An inner side diameter of the forming block is the same as an inner side diameter of the square groove. That is, when the forming block 2 is inserted into the forming blind hole 3, the lower end of the forming block lateral face 7 can be directly inserted into the square groove 5. There is a circle of recess at the lateral lower part of the forming block 2, and this recess is just clamped at the lateral side of the square groove, so that the forming block lateral face 7 and the square groove form a whole. When the forming block 2 vibrates, the vibration amplitude of the forming block is smaller than the depth of the square groove. For example, the height of the square groove is 1 cm, in the vibration process, the forming block 2 falls down after being upwards pulled for 0.7 cm, so that the lower end of the forming block lateral face always does vertical movement in the square groove, which will not affect the formation of the drill shank blank.

[0048] The feed port 10 of the present invention is a conical hole with a large upper part and a small lower part. During feeding, a feeding gun opening is also in a conical shape (with the same taper as the feed port 10). The feeding gun opening is inserted into the feed port 10 for feeding. At the moment, an upper plane of the forming block 2 is flushed with an upper plane of the mold 1. After continuously feeding, the upper plane of the forming block 2 is highly jacked. When the upper plane of the forming block is higher than the upper plane of the mold 1, the feeding stops, then, the feeding gun is taken out, and the feed port is plugged with a plug with the same taper. The inside sealing can be ensured, and the subsequent pressing process is not influenced.

[0049] In step (3) of the present invention, a particle size of the metal powder is 5-15 μm. The finer particles are, the easier the forming and sintering are.

[0050] According to the preparation process of the novel drill shank for the IMPACT gun drill of the present invention, the special mold and forming block are manufactured. The drill shank is obtained by the powder pressing+electric spark forming+sintering method, and has the strength, toughness and wear resistance. At the same time, the non-cylinder cavity for forming is formed in the drill shank, the process is novel, the manufacturing is convenient, the processing cost is low, and the popularization is convenient.

[0051] The technical means disclosed in the solutions of the present invention are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the foregoing implementations, and also includes technical solutions including any combination of the foregoing technical features.
