[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment relates to a flanging machine, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes: a frame 1, an upper mold 2, a lower mold 3, a driving device 4 and a control device 5.

[0023] The upper mold 2, the lower mold 3 and the driving device 4 are all installed on the frame 1. The driving device 4 is used to drive the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 to close or open the mold. The control device 5 is electrically connected to the driving device 4 and is used to control the driving device 4 to close or open the mold. An inclined groove 7 is provided at the outer edge of at least one side of the working surface of the lower mold 3, and the volume of the inclined groove 7 increases from the inside to the outside, and a raised step 6 is provided at the long edge of the outer side of the inclined groove 7 and is perpendicular to the working surface. A slope 12 complementary to the inclined groove 7 and corresponding in position is provided on the working surface of the upper mold 2.

[0024] When flanging, it is necessary to first lay the product to be processed flat on the lower mold 3 and cover it on the inclined groove 7 and the raised step 6. The control device 5 controls the driving device 4 according to the set program to drive the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 3 to close the mold. The slope 12 presses the product to be processed to the bottom of the inclined groove 7, so that the part of the product to be processed pressed on the bottom of the inclined groove 7 is bent relative to the middle part. At the same time, under the action of the raised step 6, the flanging is completed, and then the mold is opened after 1-3 seconds of full pressure. After the mold is opened, the flanging part has a small rebound phenomenon, and the part of the product pressed on the bottom of the inclined groove 7 rebounds autonomously or passively, thereby providing rebound compensation for the flanging part, thereby meeting the requirements of flanging accuracy.

[0025] In actual operation, the springback amplitude of the product to be processed is obtained through a limited number of tests, and the angle between the inclined groove 7 and the working surface is set according to the springback amplitude and the precision requirement of the flanging. For example, if the springback amplitude of the flanging of the product to be processed is 0-3 degrees and the flanging precision is required to be 88-90 degrees, the slope of the inclined groove 7 should be set to 3 degrees.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to allow the part of the processed product pressed against the bottom of the inclined groove 7 to rebound autonomously, the angle between the bottom of the inclined groove 7 and the working surface where it is located is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°. The maximum width of the bottom of the inclined groove 7 is 30 mm to 70 mm, and the angle between the bottom of the inclined groove 7 and the working surface is rounded.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of flanging processing, the outer edges of each side of the working surface of the lower mold 3 are provided with the inclined groove 7 and the raised step 6, and the working surface of the upper mold 2 is correspondingly provided with the slope 12. By closing the mold once, each side of the product is flanging processed at the same time, which significantly improves the processing efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, the lower mold 3 is provided with a demoulding structure 8 extending in the direction of the slope 12, and the demoulding structure 8 is used to demould the processed product during demoulding. The demoulding structure 8 is in the shape of a hook, and the lateral distance between the hook and the outer side wall of the slope 12 is greater than 0 and less than the thickness of the product to be processed, and the height of the hook from the raised step 6 is greater than the height of the flange. When the mold is opened, as the upper mold 2 rises with the processed product, the demoulding structure 8 will hook the end of the flange and separate it from the upper mold 2.

[0029] Furthermore, the frame 1 includes: a support platform 9, a mounting plate 10 and a guide shaft 11.

[0030] The mounting plate 10 is disposed above the support platform 9. Both ends of the guide shaft 11 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10 and the support platform 9. The upper mold 2 is slidably mounted on the guide shaft 11, and the driving device 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 10, which is also connected to the upper mold 2 and drives the upper mold 2 to slide along the guide shaft 11 for mold closing or demolding.

[0031] In this embodiment, the driving device 4 includes two air cylinders and a hydraulic cylinder disposed between the two air cylinders, and both the air cylinders and the hydraulic cylinder are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 10 by fasteners, and their piston rods pass through the mounting plate 10 and are fixed to a side of the upper mold 2 away from the lower mold 3. In other embodiments, the driving device 4 includes only one of the air cylinder and the hydraulic cylinder.

[0032] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when flanging, the product to be processed needs to be laid flat on the lower die 3 and covered on the inclined groove 7 and the raised step 6. The control device 5 controls the driving device 4 according to the set program to drive the upper die 2 and the lower die 3 to close the mold. The slope 12 presses the product to be processed to the bottom surface of the inclined groove 7, so that the part of the product to be processed pressed on the bottom surface of the inclined groove 7 is bent relative to the middle part. At the same time, under the action of the raised step 6, the flanging is completed, and then the mold is opened after 1-3 seconds of full pressure. When the mold is opened, as the upper die 2 rises with the processed product, the demoulding structure 8 will hook the end of the flanging part and separate it from the upper die 2. After the mold is opened, the flanging part rebounds slightly, and the part of the product pressed on the bottom surface of the inclined groove 7 rebounds autonomously or passively, thereby providing rebound compensation for the flanging part, thereby meeting the requirements of flanging accuracy.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the inclined groove 7 and the raised step 6 are arranged on the upper mold 2, the slope 12 is arranged on the lower mold 3 corresponding to the inclined groove 7, and the demoulding structure 8 is also arranged on the upper mold 2.

[0035] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
