Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of passenger car body manufacturing, and in particular to a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process. Background Art

[0002] The front door inner panel is a typical large-scale covering part of the white body of a car. The stamping of this part has the manufacturing characteristics of high drawing depth, drastic shape changes, and complex stamping process. It often has quality defects such as wrinkling, cracking and springback. In addition, with the increasingly fierce competition in the automobile market, the pressure on reducing costs is increasing. Especially in the field of stamping, improving material utilization has become the most important factor in reducing manufacturing costs.

[0003] Regarding the forming technology of the front door inner panel, although domestic enterprises have also begun the process technology development of the front door inner panel and have mastered some key technologies, they currently mainly adopt the process methods of single-piece forming drawing and left-right closed-end drawing. Both of the above-mentioned drawing processes have certain disadvantages.

[0004] In the related technology, the depth of the front door inner panels of traditional cars varies due to the design of the car models. When the depth is deep, it will cause difficulties in the stamping process. For parts with deep door inner panels, the traditional technical solution requires a four-step stamping process, namely, the first step is the first drawing, the second step is the second drawing; the third step is punching and trimming; the fourth step is oblique punching and flanging.

[0005] However, the prior art uses a four-step stamping process, which has many processing steps, a large number of molds, high investment costs, and high processing energy consumption, resulting in high parts costs. In addition, during the four-step stamping process, a press equipment or a mold is required to provide a clamping force during the second drawing. When a press equipment is used to provide the clamping force, a hydraulic cushion or an air cushion needs to be added, and the equipment investment increases. When a mold is used to provide the clamping force, a nitrogen cylinder needs to be arranged in the mold. The mold is large in size, and the nitrogen cylinder is easily damaged, which has a high safety risk and a high spare parts cost.

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the front door inner panel parts are deep and difficult to form by one-time drawing, the existing technology also adopts the method of designing parts by parts, dividing the front door inner panel into two parts, the front side of the front door inner panel and the rear side of the front door inner panel. The front side of the door inner panel and the rear side of the front door inner panel are drawn separately and then connected into a whole by welding to reduce the drawing depth of the front door inner panel parts and ensure the formability.

[0007] However, the above-mentioned method of designing parts by parts increases the number of parts and the investment in molds. The increase in parts increases the total number of processing steps, resulting in increased processing costs. The addition of welding steps leads to poor dimensional accuracy of the front door inner panel and reduced material utilization, resulting in increased vehicle costs. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process, which can solve the problem in the related art that automobile front door inner panels are difficult to be drawn and formed in one time, resulting in a large number of processing steps, a large number of molds, high investment costs, high processing energy consumption, low efficiency, and high parts costs.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process, comprising the following steps:

[0053] In the first drawing process, the front door inner panel sheet is placed into the drawing die. The front door inner panel sheet is a rectangular flat steel plate cut from a 0.7-1.4mm thick steel coil material. The front door inner panel sheet is preferably a tailored plate welded from a 1.4mm thick first sheet and a 0.7mm thick second sheet. After the drawing die uses the concave die and the blank holder to press the front door inner panel sheet, the concave die moves downward to punch the front door inner panel sheet into a wavy front door inner panel blank with a convex middle and concave sides. The concave die and the blank holder squeeze the front door inner panel sheet into a wavy structure with a convex middle and concave sides. The convex feature in the middle is the part where the two front door inner panel profiles are formed by subsequent drawing, and the concave features on both sides are the drawing parts where the two front door inner panel profiles are formed by subsequent drawing.

[0054] Since the joining parts of the two joined front door inner panel profiles and the drawn parts of the two joined front door inner panel profiles are both parts with a deep drawing depth, these parts are most likely to produce defects such as wrinkles and cracks. In the embodiment of the present application, the joining parts and the front door inner panel profile parts are first stamped to form a wavy structure with an upward convex middle and concave sides, which is consistent with the trend of the drawing depth of the front door inner panel of the double-door automobile. The features of the front door inner panel blank with an upward convex middle and concave sides are used to control the uniform change of the drawing depth of the front door inner panel parts of the double-door automobile and the shallow drawing depth, so that it can be drawn and formed in one time, so as to reduce the drawing depth of the front door inner panel sheet material in this part and ensure one-time drawing and forming.

[0055] The die continues to move downward, and with the cooperation of the die and the punch, the front door inner panel blank is drawn into a front door inner panel drawn part 100 having two front door inner panel profiles 101 of preset shapes, an edging flange edge 102 and a pressing surface 103. The two front door inner panel profiles 101 are symmetrically arranged and matched on the window frame side.

[0056] In the three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process of the embodiment of the present application, before drawing the two front door inner panel profiles 101, the front door inner panel sheet is first pressed by a concave die and a blank holder, and then the concave die moves downward to stamp the front door inner panel sheet into a wavy front door inner panel blank with an upward convex middle and concave sides. An upward convex feature is formed in the middle of the front door inner panel blank, and downward concave features are formed on both sides of the upward convex feature in the middle, and the upward convex feature and the downward concave feature are consistent with the drawing depth trend of the double-door automobile front door inner panel.

[0057] The upward convex feature and the downward concave feature are used to control the uniform change of the drawing depth of the front door inner panel parts of the double-door automobile and the shallow drawing depth, and the front door inner panel drawn part 100 with two front door inner panel profiles 101, the hemming flange 102 and the pressing surface 103 of the preset shape can be formed by one-time drawing. The present application optimizes the two-step drawing process into a one-step drawing process, improves the processing efficiency of the product, and reduces the production cost.

[0058] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process, in which the middle of the pressing surface 103 near the hinge side of the front door inner panel profile 101 (the hinge side is the part where the front door inner panel and the body are connected through the door hinge) is stamped to form a first convex surface 104 that bulges upward. First concave surfaces 105 that are concave downward are formed on both sides of the first convex surface 104, and the height difference between the wave crest of the first convex surface 104 and the wave trough of the first concave surface 105 is 40-50mm, and the height difference between the wave crest of the first convex surface 104 and the wave trough of the first concave surface 105 is further preferably 45mm.

The radius of the first concave surface 105 is 1450-1550 mm, and the radius of the first concave surface 105 is further preferably 1500 mm. The radius of the first arc transition section 106 is 950-1050 mm, and the radius of the first arc transition section 106 is further preferably 1000 mm.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, a first convex surface 104 convex upward is formed by stamping in the middle of the pressing surface 103 near the hinge side of the front door inner panel profile 101, and first concave surfaces 105 concave downward are formed on both sides of the first convex surface 104. The first convex surface 104 is used for drawing to form the joint parts of the two front door inner panel profiles 101, and the first concave surface 105 is used for drawing to form the two front door inner panel profiles 101. The height difference between the crest of the first convex surface 104 and the trough of the first concave surface 105 is preferably 45mm. If the height difference between the crest of the first convex surface 104 and the trough of the first concave surface 105 is too small, there will be a risk of cracking. If the height difference between the crest of the first convex surface 104 and the trough of the first concave surface 105 is too large, there will be a risk of wrinkling.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the radius of the first convex surface 104 is further preferably 500 mm, the radius of the first concave surface 105 is preferably 1500 mm, and the radius of the first arc transition section 106 is preferably 1000 mm. If the radius of the first convex surface 104 is too large, there will be a risk of wrinkling, and if the radius of the first convex surface 104 is too small, there will be a risk of cracking. If the radius of the first concave surface 105 is too large, there will be a risk of cracking, and if the radius of the first concave surface 105 is too small, there will be a risk of wrinkling. If the radius of the first arc transition section 106 is too large, there will be a risk of cracking, and if the radius of the first arc transition section 106 is too small, there will be a risk of wrinkling.

[0062] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door front door inner panel stamping process for automobiles, wherein the three-step double-door front door inner panel stamping process is to stamp a second convex surface 107 protruding upwards in the middle of the pressing surface 103 near the door lock side of the front door inner panel profile 101 (the door lock side is the part where the front door inner panel and the vehicle body are connected through the door lock). Second concave surfaces 108 concave downwards are formed on both sides of the second convex surface 107, and the height difference between the wave crest of the second convex surface 107 and the wave trough of the second concave surface 108 is 50-60mm, and the height difference between the wave crest of the second convex surface 107 and the wave trough of the second concave surface 108 is further 55mm.

The radius of the second convex surface 107 is 195-205 mm, and the radius of the second convex surface 107 is further preferably 200 mm. The radius of the second concave surface 108 is 1450-1550 mm, and the radius of the second concave surface 108 is further preferably 1500 mm. The radius of the second arc transition section 109 is 950-1050 mm, and the radius of the second arc transition section 109 is further preferably 1000 mm.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, a second convex surface 107 convex upward is formed by stamping in the middle of the pressing surface 103 near the door lock side of the front door inner panel profile 101, and second concave surfaces 108 concave downward are formed on both sides of the second convex surface 107. The second convex surface 107 is used for drawing to form the joint parts of the two front door inner panel profiles 101, and the second concave surface 108 is used for drawing to form the two front door inner panel profiles 101. The height difference between the crest of the second convex surface 107 and the trough of the second concave surface 108 is preferably 55mm. If the height difference between the crest of the second convex surface 107 and the trough of the second concave surface 108 is too small, there will be a risk of cracking. If the height difference between the crest of the second convex surface 107 and the trough of the second concave surface 108 is too large, there will be a risk of wrinkling.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the radius of the second convex surface 107 is further preferably 200 mm, the radius of the second concave surface 108 is preferably 1500 mm, and the radius of the second arc transition section 109 is preferably 1000 mm.

If the radius of the second arc transition section 109 is too large, there will be a risk of cracking, and if the radius of the second arc transition section 109 is too small, there will be a risk of wrinkling.

[0066] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process, wherein the three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process has two symmetrically arranged process supplementary slopes 110 drawn at the splicing portion of the two front door inner panel profiles 101 close to the door lock side, the process supplementary slopes 110 are inclined downward and toward the front door inner panel profile 101, and a transition fillet 111 is provided at the overlap between the process supplementary slope 110 and the front door inner panel profile 101, and the radius of the transition fillet 111 is 8 mm.

[0067] The sidewall between the two symmetrically arranged process supplementary slopes 110 is drawn with a first step and a second step connected to each other, the height of the first step is greater than the second step, the first step includes a first convex fillet 112 with a radius of R15mm, a first concave fillet 113 with a radius of R20mm, and the draft angle of the first step is 15°. The second step includes a second convex fillet 114 with a radius of R35mm, a second concave fillet 115 with a radius of R10mm, and the draft angle of the second step is 15°.

[0068] The joint part of the two front door inner panel profiles 101 near the door lock side of the embodiment of the present application is in a "J"-shaped structure. The process supplementation has a high risk of cracking in the corner area where this part and the part meet, which leads to molding failure. The two front door inner panel profiles 101 near the door lock side have two symmetrically arranged process supplementation slopes 110 during drawing, and the inclination angle of the process supplementation slopes 110 is 55°. The side wall between the two symmetrically arranged process supplementation slopes 110 is drawn with a first step and a second step connected to each other, which can effectively eliminate the contradiction between cracking and wrinkling at this point.

[0069] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process, in which a process supplementary side wall 116 is drawn at the joint part of the two front door inner panel profiles 101 close to the hinge side. A third convex fillet 117 with a radius of 40 mm is provided at the overlap of the process supplementary side wall 116 and the front door inner panel profile 101, and a third concave fillet 118 with a radius of 20 mm is provided at the overlap of the process supplementary side wall 116 and the pressing surface 103, and the draft angle of the process supplementary side wall 116 is 15°.

[0070] A counter-joint plane is drawn at the top of the process supplementary side wall 116, and a downwardly concave wrinkle absorbing rib 119 is provided on the counter-joint plane. The length of the wrinkle absorbing rib 119 is 40 mm, the width is 20 mm, and the depth is 3.5 mm. The wrinkle absorbing rib 119 is used to prevent the counter-joint plane from wrinkling. A triangular inclined plane 120 is drawn at the overlap between the counter-joint plane and the front door inner panel profile 101. A fourth concave fillet 121 for forming tensile strain and compressive strain is drawn on the triangular inclined plane 120, and the radius of the fourth concave fillet 121 is 10 mm.

[0071] Since the outer side of the two front door inner panel surfaces 101 near the hinge side is prone to cracking risk, and the inner side is prone to wrinkling risk. In the outer area of ​​the embodiment of the present application, the design process supplements the third convex fillet 117 with a radius of 40mm, the third concave fillet 118 with a radius of 20mm, and the side wall draft angle of 15°, which prevents cracking while ensuring material utilization. When the process joint part is close to one side (inside) of the product, when the sheet metal is subjected to stress during forming, it is in a state of tensile and compressive strain, and wrinkling defects are prone to occur in the direction of the compressive strain state.

[0072] A triangular slope 120 is designed at the joint part of the two front door inner panel profiles 101 near the hinge side to change the shape and line length of the side wall area, thereby changing the strain state of the area. The triangular slope 120 is connected to the side wall and the bottom surface through convex fillets on all sides to ensure that there are no sharp points that change dramatically. The fourth concave fillet 121 is used inside the triangular slope 120 to adjust the line length in the tensile strain and compressive strain directions. In the tensile strain direction, the line length is shortened by 16% when the fourth concave fillet 121 is used to adjust the front and back, eliminating the risk of cracking in this direction. In the compressive stress direction, the fourth concave fillet 121 is used to adjust the up and down, and the line length increases by 20%, eliminating the risk of wrinkling in this direction.

If the parts are drawn in place at one time, the problem of parts cracking will occur. During the process design, the fillet radius between the hemming flange 102 and the pressing surface 103 on the two front door inner panel profiles 101 near the door lock side is enlarged from R6mm to R10mm. The pressing surface on the two front door inner panel profiles 101 near the door lock side is provided with a raised feature 122 and a concave feature 123 to control the drawing depth of the parts here to be consistent and prevent cracking.

The corners of the two front door inner panel profiles 101 close to the door sill have a large difference in material flow resistance with both sides, and the material flow speed is lower than that on both sides, which makes it easy for material to accumulate and cause wrinkling of the parts. Here, the third convex fillet 124 is designed to be R20mm, the fifth concave fillet 125 is designed to be R10mm, and the side wall draft angle is 35° to reduce the resistance to material inflow.

[0081] How it works

[0082] The embodiment of the present application provides a three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process. In the three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process of the present application, the front door inner panel sheet is placed into a drawing die in the first drawing process. After the drawing die presses the front door inner panel sheet with a die and a pressure ring, the die moves downward to stamp the front door inner panel sheet into a wavy front door inner panel blank with an upward convex middle portion and concave on both sides. The die continues to move downward, and with the cooperation of the die and the punch, the front door inner panel blank is drawn at one time into a front door inner panel drawn part 100 with two front door inner panel profiles 101 of preset shapes, an edging flange edge 102 and a pressing surface 103. The two front door inner panel profiles 101 are symmetrically arranged and are opposed to each other on the window frame side.

[0083] Therefore, in the three-step double-door automobile front door inner panel stamping process of the present application, before drawing the two front door inner panel shapes, the front door inner panel sheet is first pressed by the die and the blank holder, and then the die moves downward to stamp the front door inner panel sheet into a wavy front door inner panel blank with an upward convex middle and concave on both sides. An upward convex feature is formed in the middle of the front door inner panel blank, and downward concave features are formed on both sides of the upward convex feature in the middle, and the upward convex feature and the downward concave feature are consistent with the drawing depth trend of the double-door automobile front door inner panel.

[0084] The upward convex feature and the downward concave feature are used to control the uniform change of the drawing depth of the front door inner panel parts of the double-door automobile and the shallow drawing depth, and the front door inner panel drawn part 100 with two front door inner panel profiles 101, the hemming flange 102 and the pressing surface 103 of the preset shape can be formed by one-time drawing. The present application optimizes the two-step drawing process into a one-step drawing process, improves the processing efficiency of the product, and reduces the production cost.
