れた。FIG. 6 shows a hollow rack bar forming jig of the present invention.
The present invention relates to a mandrel used for forming a hollow rack bar in which a rack tooth profile 5 is formed on a plane portion 4 of a deformed pipe shown in FIG. In such a hollow rack bar, a mandrel 8 is press-fitted as shown in FIG. 7 into a flat inner surface of a tube material (hereinafter referred to as a work) 3 having a hollow deformed portion shown in FIG. The rack tooth profile 5 is formed by being raised so as to bite into the tooth profile 71a. In this case, a mandrel having an inclined portion 8a at the tip end as shown in FIG. 7 has been conventionally used.

のである。It is preferable that the mandrel is provided with two or more protrusions whose height is sequentially increased from the front end to the rear end at the front end of the mandrel. If a large processing rate is given at a time during molding with a mandrel, seizure or cracking of the work occurs, so it is necessary to give an appropriate processing rate to one processing. Therefore, the mandrel of the present invention is provided with two or more protrusions whose heights are sequentially increased from the tip side to one mandrel, so that two or more processes can be performed by one press-fitting of the mandrel. Things. Accordingly, the number of processing steps can be reduced, and the processing rate per operation can be reduced to prevent the work from cracking. Here, the tip of the mandrel includes the vicinity of the tip of the mandrel where the mandrel is pressed.

特徴とするものである。Further, the hollow rack bar molding die of the present invention comprises:
A tubular member having a hollow deformed portion in which a flat portion is formed in a part of the circumference is brought into contact with a tooth shape of a tooth mold on the outer surface of the flat portion, and a mandrel is pressed into the inner surface of the flat portion to thereby form the flat portion. In forming a hollow rack bar in which the flesh is raised to form a rack tooth profile on the outer surface of the flat portion, a tooth profile mold having a tooth shape to be brought into contact with the outer surface of the flat portion of the deformed portion and the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion of the deformed portion are held. A holding mold is characterized in that the holding mold is divided in an axial direction substantially parallel to a center line of the tube and parallel to a plane portion of the deformed portion.

歯形を得ることができる。That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 1 (c), the hollow rack bar forming die of the present invention comprises a toothed die 7 and a holding die 6 which are formed in a plane part of a deformed portion at the center line of the tube. Are divided in the axial direction in parallel with. With such a divided mold, the tube work can be inserted between the tooth mold 7 and the holding mold 6 and the work can be simply and reliably held by simply applying pressure to both molds. Since it is possible to reliably support the reaction force acting on the flat portion of the deformed portion during tooth formation, an accurate tooth profile can be obtained.

を組み合わせることが望ましい。Further, it is desirable that the tooth profile portion of the tooth profile mold is formed by combining divided tooth profiles in order to prevent cracking of the mold. That is, when the flesh of the flat portion of the tubular body material is raised into a tooth shape, a force acts in a direction to widen between teeth. For this reason, a force is applied to the bottom portion of the tooth mold and the portion often breaks from this portion. Therefore, by combining a mold with a split tooth profile that is split from the beginning, elasticity is generated between the teeth, and cracks in the tooth profile can be prevented. It is desirable to combine two or less tooth profiles in this divided tooth profile.
