Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molds, and in particular relates to a process method for improving the surface quality of a top cover antenna hole position and a mold thereof. Background Art

[0002] As cars are generally popular in China, various car manufacturers have launched cars of various sizes and types. The top cover outer panel is particularly important in the car models, and has a strict matching relationship with the rear cover, side panels and other major components. In order to achieve the styling characteristics of the top cover outer panel and ensure the forming quality of the product during the forming process of each process of the stamping die, it is necessary to study the formability of the top cover outer panel's appearance ridges and surface quality, make breakthroughs in the stamping process, and realize the shape characteristics of the product.

[0003] In the existing stamping process of automobile cover parts, drawing forming is an indispensable process. For cover parts, due to the arched structure with high middle and low ends, the high middle part will be formed first and the low ends will be formed later during the drawing process. The antenna hole is in the tail area. After the upper and lower molds in the middle area of ​​the top cover are contacted and formed first, the upper and lower molds at the tail antenna hole position will contact again, which will affect the A surface that has been formed near the antenna hole, causing surface defects on the A surface in the nearby area. For outer panel parts, A surface defects are definitely not allowed to appear on the product.

[0004] Therefore, the existing top cover outer panel antenna hole mounting surface is directly formed in the drawing process, which will cause surface quality problems in the antenna hole mounting surface accessories. This is the number one "chronic disease" in the surface quality problems of the top cover parts. The reason is that the antenna hole mounting surface boss is surrounded by uneven material flow during the forming process, resulting in serious surface quality problems that affect the quality of the part. Due to the reasons for the defects, such defects cannot be eliminated and can only be optimized as much as possible through strong pressure coloring. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, such as uneven material flow during the forming process of the sheet metal, which leads to serious surface quality problems and thus affects the quality of the product, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a process method and a mold for improving the surface quality of the top cover antenna hole position. The process method adopts the method of not forming the antenna hole mounting surface during the first sequence of drawing and forming to ensure the smoothness of the sheet metal at this position and avoid uneven material flow during the forming process; in the third sequence of shaping process, a shaping process of the antenna hole mounting surface upward is added. The process method can effectively solve the problem that the surface quality of the top cover antenna hole position is difficult to eliminate, so that the defects are generated and solved in the later sequence, the defects are easier to solve, the risks are smaller, and the debugging costs are lower.

[0018] Furthermore, the upward shaping mold also includes a positioning pin 13 for providing precise positioning and fixation for the workpiece.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
