Abstract

Computer simulation has been performed to optimize cold forging process of automotive LPI fuel filter housing. A mold and the test product have been manufactured considering the strain and load distribution during the cold forging process. Also, fuel flow simulation has been performed to analyze flow characteristics of existing model and new model. Simulation result shows that two models have equivalent pressure drop. Compared with the mass of existing product, raw material reduction of 16 g and 30.5 g has been achieved from the upper and lower housing, respectively. Total mass reduction of the new housing was 46.5 g. Leak test and internal pressure test have been performed to verify the safety standard and test results were satisfactory.

자동차용 LPI 연료필터 하우징의 냉간단조 공정에 대한 성형해석을 수행하였다. 변형과 하중의 분배를 고려하여 금형과 시제품을 제작하였다. 또한 기존 모델과 신규 모델의 유동 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 유동해석을 수행하였다. 유동해석 결과, 두 모델은 동등한 압력강하량을 나타내었다. 기존 제품 대비, 상부 하우징은 16 g, 하부 하우징은 30.5 g이 감소하여, 총 46.5 g의 중량이 감소하였다. 안정성을 검증하기 위해서 기밀시험 및 내압시험을 수행하였으며, 시험 기준을 만족하였다.
