The invention relates to a method for producing a rake head as a gardening tool, in particular to a method for integrally
forging a combined bow-shaped rake which is made of 65Mn steel. The method comprises the steps of: sending a rake head steel blank into a
heating furnace for heating to above 1000 DEG C, integrally
punching and forming rake teeth by using a
punching device, and reserving bow-shaped
handle stocks at two sides of the rake teeth; secondarily sending into the
heating furnace for heating to above 900 DEG C, and
forging the bow-shaped
handle stocks; thirdly heating to above 1000 DEG C by using a high-frequency heating device, and roll-
forging and drawing the bow-shaped
handle stocks until the length of the bow-shaped handle stocks reaches the length of half of a bow-shaped handle at most by using a roll-forging device; fourthly heating to above 900 DEG C, synthesizing the bow-shaped handle stocks at two sides of the rake teeth by using a bending
machine, then
welding, reinforcing and forming the bow-shaped handle; fifthly heating to above 900 DEG C, forming
radian of the rake teeth by using the
punching device; and cleaning the surface of a rake body, baking finish and spraying. The bow-shaped rake produced by adopting the method has more excellent property, flexibility, elasticity, tensile strength and the like, and can not have phenomena such as deformation, breaking and the like during the use.
