Description

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile cover stamping dies, and in particular to a die design system and method suitable for steel and aluminum stamping forming. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight technology is an important measure for automobile energy conservation and emission reduction. The weight of the body in white accounts for about 20%-30% of the weight of the whole vehicle. The lightweight of the body is the key to the lightweight of the whole vehicle. An important way to lightweight the body is to use low-density materials to replace steel plates. Aluminum plates have obvious advantages due to their light weight, high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. More and more models, especially new energy vehicles, use aluminum alloy materials for body parts processing and forming. Automobile body parts are mainly stamped by stamping dies, but there is a big difference between aluminum alloy materials and steel in terms of stamping forming performance. The molds generally used for steel stamping cannot be directly used for the processing of aluminum alloy materials. Therefore, even for the same body part, if the materials are different, the molds are also different. It is necessary to develop two sets of molds for the processing of different materials. The mold development cycle is long and the cost investment is large.

Detailed implementation mode

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the die design system applicable to the stamping forming of steel and aluminum designed by the present invention includes a process surface generation module 1, a model construction module 2, a simulation stamping forming module 3, a simulation stamping optimization module 4 and a die forming module 5;

[0038] Taking the stamping forming of a fender as an example, as Figure 2 shown, the process surface generation module (which can also be called the surface generation module) 1 is used to generate the blank process surface 6;

[0039] The model construction module 2 constructs the product surface 15 of the lower punch model 9 according to the digital model characteristics of the blank process surface 6 and the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface; constructs the process supplementary surface 10 of the upper die model 7 according to the surface characteristics of the product surface 15 and the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface; constructs the blank holding surface 11 and the draw bead 12 of the upper die of the upper die model 7 according to the surface characteristics of the product surface 15, the surface characteristics of the process supplementary surface 10 and the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface; constructs the blank holding process surface 13 and the draw bead 14 of the blank holder of the blank holder model 8 according to the surface characteristics of the blank holding surface 11, the shape and layout area of the draw bead 12 of the upper die and the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface.

[0040] The simulation stamping forming module 3 is used to perform simulation stamping on the aluminum blank through the upper die model 7, the blank holder model 8 and the lower punch model 9 to determine the process supplementary surface 10, the blank holding surface 11, the draw bead 12 of the upper die of the upper die model 7; the blank holding process surface 13, the draw bead 14 of the blank holder of the blank holder model 8 and the product surface 15 of the lower punch model 9.

[0041] The simulation stamping optimization module 4 is used to perform simulation stamping on a steel blank by using an upper die model 7 that determines a process supplementary profile 10, a blank holding surface 11, and upper die draw beads 12; a blank holder model 8 that determines a blank holding process surface 13 and blank holder draw beads 14; and a lower punch model 9 that determines a product surface 15, and optimize the upper die draw beads 12 and the blank holder draw beads 14. Specifically, the simulation stamping optimization module 4 optimizes the upper die draw beads 12 by generating the upper die draw beads 12 on the premise that the process supplementary profile 10 and the product surface 15 remain unchanged, comparing the upper die draw beads 12 obtained by performing simulation stamping on an aluminum blank with the upper die model 7 and the upper die draw beads 12 obtained by performing simulation stamping on a steel blank with the upper die model 7, and retaining the same parts of the two. The simulation stamping optimization module 4 optimizes the blank holder draw beads 14 by generating the blank holder draw beads 14 on the premise that the process supplementary profile 10 and the product surface 15 remain unchanged, comparing the blank holder draw beads 14 obtained by performing simulation stamping on an aluminum blank with the blank holder model 8 and the blank holder draw beads 14 obtained by performing simulation stamping on a steel blank with the blank holder model 8, and retaining the same parts of the two.

[0042] The die forming module 5 is used to generate an upper die 16 according to the process supplementary profile 10, the blank holding surface 11, and the upper die draw beads 12 before and after optimization; generate a blank holder 17 according to the blank holding process surface 13 and the optimized blank holder draw beads 14; and generate a lower punch 18 according to the product surface 15 and the blank holder draw beads 14 before and after optimization. Specifically, the die forming module 5 generates the upper die 16 according to the process supplementary profile 10, the blank holding surface 11, and the upper die draw beads 12 before and after optimization, including comparing the upper die draw beads 12 obtained by performing simulation stamping on an aluminum blank with the upper die model 7 and the upper die draw beads 12 obtained by performing simulation stamping on a steel blank with the upper die model 7, and generating different upper die inserts 19 for the different parts of the two. The die forming module 5 generates the lower punch 18 according to the product surface 15 and the upper die draw beads 12 before and after optimization, including comparing the blank holder draw beads 14 obtained by performing simulation stamping on an aluminum blank with the blank holder model 8 and the blank holder draw beads 14 obtained by performing simulation stamping on a steel blank with the blank holder model 8, and generating different lower punch inserts 20 for the different parts of the two.

[0043] As Figure 3 shown in FIG. -7, the die design method based on the above die design system applicable to steel and aluminum stamping forming includes the following steps:

[0044] S1: Construct a blank process surface 6 required in the forming analysis process of a stamping die through forming analysis software, and construct an upper die 16, a blank holder 17, and a lower punch 18 on this basis, specifically as follows:

[0045] S11: Based on the aluminum plate as the basic surface, according to the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface, construct the product surface 15 according to the blank process surface 6, and construct the process supplementary surface 10 of the upper female die 16 according to the product surface 15;

[0046] S12: According to the characteristics of the product surface 15, the process supplementary surface 10 and the design standard of the aluminum plate process surface, construct the blank holding surface 11 of the upper female die 16 and the shape and layout area of the draw beads of the upper female die 12;

[0047] S13: According to the process surface of the upper female die 16 (including the process supplementary surface 10, the blank holding surface 11 and the draw beads of the upper female die 12), construct the process surface of the blank holder 17 (the blank holding process surface 13 and the draw beads of the blank holder 14).

[0048] S2: Carry out stamping die forming on the aluminum plate process surface constructed in S1. Through stamping forming analysis software, conduct stamping forming simulation analysis of the parts for the Figure 2 shown aluminum plate blank;

[0049] S21: According to the forming analysis results, conduct process optimization analysis on the stamping die process surface, and obtain two groups of stamping forming surfaces respectively, including the main surfaces of the upper concave and lower convex dies, that is, the process supplementary surface 10 and the product surface 15; the blank holding surface 11, the draw beads of the upper female die 12; the process surface of the blank holder 13 and the draw beads of the blank holder 14; and the corresponding process parameter combinations. There is still a certain difference between the stamping forming surface at this stage and the target stamping forming surface.

[0050] S3: Taking the aluminum plate material with great forming difficulty as the scheme benchmark, use the main die surface obtained by aluminum plate process optimization simulation to conduct forming analysis simulation again for the steel plate blank in combination with step S21.

[0051] S4: Conduct optimization analysis on the stamping die process surface of the steel plate blank obtained in the above step S3 to ensure that, without changing the main die surface, optimize parameters such as the length L, width D, height H, quantity N, blank holding force F, forming force P, etc., until obtaining the process parameter combination that meets the steel plate forming requirements. The results of the comparative analysis of the steel plate, aluminum plate inflow volume, formability, and thinning amount of the fender drawing die proposed by the present invention should all meet the formability requirements of the steel plate and the aluminum plate.

[0052] S5: Based on the process surfaces of the dies corresponding to the two materials, focus on the differential parts and conduct block design for the die: adopt the insert block structure scheme to realize the quick replacement of the differential structure parts of the die in the two sets of schemes, ensure the common use of the die body, and the insert blocks are processed with identification codes containing insert block information for machine recognition through laser marking technology.

[0053] Such as Figure 8As shown in Figure 10, the lower punch part mainly includes a lower die base 23, a lower punch model 9, and lower punch inserts 20 (lower punch insert A or lower punch insert B). When producing a steel plate fender, first install lower punch insert A and perform stamping production. When producing an aluminum plate fender, remove lower punch insert A and then install upper and lower punch insert B for production. By switching the inserts on the lower punch, two parts made of different materials can be produced on the same set of dies.

[0054] The upper die part mainly includes an upper die base 24 and upper die inserts 19 (upper die insert A or upper die insert B). When producing a steel plate fender, first install upper die insert A and perform stamping production. When producing an aluminum plate fender, remove upper die insert A and then install upper die insert B for production. By switching upper die insert 19, two parts made of different materials can be produced on the same set of dies.

[0055] During die production, the upper die insert 19 is locked to the upper die model 7 by screws 21 and pins 22, and the upper die model 7 is locked to the upper die base 24. The lower punch insert 20 is locked to the lower punch model 9 by screws 21 and pins 22, and the lower punch model 9 is then locked to the lower die base 23 by screws 21 and pins 22. The upper die base 24 is locked to the production upper machine table through a clamping plate groove, and the lower die base 23 is locked to the production lower machine table through a clamping plate groove. When the upper machine table descends, it drives the upper die part to first contact and press the blank holder 17 to hold the material, and then continues to descend to cooperate with the lower die part to complete a stamping forming.

[0056] In the present invention, for processing of two materials, the processing mode is set for the press control system, and the two modes respectively correspond to parameters such as blank holding force, forming pressure, and stamping speed for the two materials. During the stamping forming process, the processing monitor equipped in the die process system can detect the type of processing material applicable to the current die; realize the matching linkage of the die and press forming parameters, and avoid processing errors.

[0057] The processing monitor mainly consists of a light source, an industrial camera, and a control system. Among them, the light source provides relatively stable lighting conditions for the camera, and the camera is used to photograph the die and sheet metal information; the control system records processing information, including insert parameters, sheet metal type, press parameters, and parameter change thresholds. The industrial camera obtains insert information by identifying the insert identification code; by taking pictures of the sheet metal surface and classifying according to the reflectivity and texture, the sheet metal type is determined. The processing monitor inputs the collected insert and sheet metal information into the control system, providing a judgment basis for the control system to output stamping process parameters and execution actions. Under the action of the processing monitor, the matching linkage of the die and press forming parameters is realized, and thus a drawing die can realize the stamping forming drawing process of two different materials of fenders.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any formal restrictions on the structure of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
