Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cold stamping processing technology, and specifically relates to a device for creating a melon-shaped protrusion hole. Background Technology

[0002] Launch vehicle flap parts are typically made of aluminum alloy, with flanged holes designed in certain areas. The conventional machining method involves using a double-acting hydraulic press with a large, specialized punching die to create the punches. First, a pre-drilled hole is machined into the part and placed on the die. The outer slide block drives the pressure ring to press the part blank tightly, while the main slide block drives the flanging punch into the pre-drilled hole, causing plastic deformation at the hole edge to form a vertical edge of a certain height. This method involves large die dimensions, a long manufacturing cycle, and one set of dies can only accommodate flanged punches of one position and size, resulting in high production costs.

[0003] Currently, the main domestic patents for melon-shaped convex holes are: CN107695156A, which discloses "a Φ3350mm ellipsoidal melon-shaped normal hole convex hole mold and process", and CN209363400U, which discloses "a Φ3350mm ellipsoidal melon-shaped workpiece convex hole device". The processing method of both is to make a flanged initial hole and then use a hydraulic cylinder main slider to press down and stretch to form the flanged convex hole. One mold can only meet the processing of one hole diameter. Moreover, the main components of the mold still have more than 20 parts, and there is still room for improvement in mold cost and production cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a melon-shaped convex hole device. This invention has a simple structure and its weight and size are significantly reduced compared to traditional convex hole molds. This mold reduces the installation of the upper mold, the installation and debugging process is safe and quick, and the qualified rate of the formed parts will not be reduced.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solutions: A device for creating a melon-shaped perforation includes a base, a fixed seat connected to the lower part of the base, and a concave mold connected to the upper part of the base; a convex mold connected to the upper part of the concave mold; a through hole is provided in the center of the base, and a circular boss is provided at the bottom of the through hole; the fixed seat is installed in the through hole, the bottom of the fixed seat is fitted with the shape of the circular boss, and the outer wall of the fixed seat is fitted with the inner wall of the through hole; a plurality of stepped holes are evenly arranged around the through hole.

[0006] Specifically, a forming hole is provided at the center of the die cavity; the punch is a cone shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, the diameter of the larger end of the punch is slightly larger than the diameter of the forming hole, and considering the springback factor, the actual punch is taken with the upper deviation of the hole diameter; the diameter of the smaller end of the punch is slightly smaller than the initial hole diameter of the forming hole; the diameter of the forming hole is the same as the diameter of the through hole.

[0007] Specifically, the inner wall of the convex hole fits against the outer wall of the fixing seat, and the top of the fixing seat is lower than the surface of the die, forming a groove with the punch for convex hole forming.

[0008] Specifically, it also includes a pull rod; the end of the pull rod is threaded, and the push rod passes through the fixed seat and the punch in sequence, and its end is fixed with a nut.

[0009] Specifically, the fixed base and the punch have a through hole at their center for connecting the pull rod.

[0010] Specifically, it also includes a push rod, one end of which passes through the stepped hole of the base and contacts the die cavity, and the other end is connected to the hydraulic press air cushion.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects through the above technical solution: This invention provides a melon-shaped punch mold suitable for punching holes in blanks with a thickness of δ4 to δ10 mm. The entire mold eliminates traditional mold parts such as the upper template, pressure ring, and stripper plate, consisting of only six modules. Different shaped parts can be processed simply by changing the different die surfaces, and punches of different sizes can form flanged holes of various diameters. The punching force is applied by a hydraulic press air cushion instead of the main slider. This invention has a simple structure, is easy and quick to install and debug, and has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0016] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” used in this application are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order. Moreover, for example, the term “first component” does not imply the existence of a “second component”, and the term “second component” does not imply the existence of a “first component”.

[0017] To fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, detailed structures will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may have other embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this mold consists of 6 parts. The pull rod 1 has threads machined at its end and is used in conjunction with the fixing seat 2 and nut 6 to press the head of the punch 5 into the part for positioning. The fixing seat 2 has a through hole in the middle for the pull rod 1 to pass through; the outer diameter D2 of the through hole is coordinated with the die 4, providing guidance during forming. The base 3 is used to mount the mold and has 9 holes with a diameter D4 arranged on it; the hole diameter and position are coordinated with the equipment's ejector rod. The die 4 has its contact surface with the part machined according to the part's profile; the hole diameter D1 of the die 4 is coordinated with the outer diameter of the part's flanged hole. The top diameter D3 of the punch 5 is the same as or slightly smaller than the initial flanged hole of the part, used for positioning; the bottom diameter D2 of the punch 5 is coordinated with the inner diameter of the part's flanged hole, generally 0.5mm larger than the inner diameter of the flanged hole, used to control the inner diameter size of the forming flanged hole. The middle hole is a smooth hole, and its diameter is coordinated with the outer diameter of the pull rod 1.

[0019] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is an installation diagram. Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the forming principle, where the part is formed as follows: Figure 2 Install it on the mold, tighten the 6th nut, press the orifice part against the surface of the die 4, apply force F to the die 4 through the ejector rod, the die 4 moves upward, driving the part to move upward a distance H, thus forming a downward orifice flange.

[0020] This invention is applicable to the forming of punch holes in blanks with a thickness of δ4 to δ10. The entire mold eliminates traditional mold parts such as upper template, pressure ring, and stripper plate. It consists of only 6 modules and can process parts with different profiles by simply changing different 4-sided concave dies. Different sized punches 5 can form flanged holes of various diameters. The punch forming force is changed from being applied by the main slider to being applied by the equipment air cushion.

[0021] Example 1: For a melon-shaped part made of 2A14-O material with a thickness of 7mm, a flanged hole with a diameter of Φ70mm needs to be formed. The main steps for forming the flanged hole are as follows: 1. Mark the position and use a scribing drill or laser to make the initial flange hole with a size of Φ45mm for the part; 2. Install the mold, place the ejector pin in the ejector hole of the hydraulic press, and then place the mold as shown. Figure 1 Place the assembly on the hydraulic press worktable, ensuring that the ejector rod can smoothly enter the ejector rod hole of the base 3. Note that the punch 5 and nut 6 should not be installed. Use the pressure plate to firmly fix the base 3 on the machine tool worktable.

[0022] 3. Fixing parts; 3.1 Insert the tie rod 1 into the initial hole of the part; and install the punch 5 with an outer diameter of Φ70.5mm and the nut 6 in sequence; 3.2 Tighten nut 6 to ensure that the small end of the punch is pressed into the initial hole of the part for positioning, and that the part surface is basically in contact with the die surface 4; 4. Protruding hole When the air cushion of the equipment is activated, the ejector rod moves upward and applies force to the bottom surface of the die 4. The die 4 moves the part upward together, while the area around the hole cannot move under the constraint of the tie rod 1 and the punch 5. The part and the area around the hole are relatively displaced, thus completing the punch hole.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0024] Terms such as “component” as used herein may refer to a single part or a combination of multiple parts.
