The invention discloses a method for forming plates on the basis of vibration by the aid of a flexible male die.
Machining equipment for implementing the method mainly comprises a lower die holder, a female die, a blank holder,
granular media, a blank holder force applying device, a vibration device, a punch, an upper die holder, guide columns, guide sleeves and the like. The method includes placing a
metal plate between the female die and the blank holder when the
metal plate is about to be machined and formed, enabling the blank holder to apply blank holder force, then adding the
granular media into a
barrel formed by the blank holder and the
metal plate, enabling a pressure head to compress the media under the effect of pressure, applying the pressure to the plate and performing
deep drawing forming on the plate by the aid of the flexible male die; enabling the vibration device to apply vibration on the punch, the blank holder and the female die individually or jointly. The method has the advantages that friction and deformation resistance among the plate and the dies can be reduced under the effect of vibration excitation, the flowability and the force transfer property of the
granular media can be promoted, plate forming limit can be upgraded, and the method is favorable for
machining and forming components in complicated shapes; the granular media can be reused, accordingly, the die
machining cost and
energy consumption can be reduced, and the method is favorable for
environmental protection.
