Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of decorative materials, and more specifically to a production and processing method for a curved enamel panel. Background Art

[0002] Enamel panels have functions such as good corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning. Therefore, enamel panels are playing an increasingly important role in the field of architectural decoration.

[0003] Currently, the shape of enamel panels is mainly flat. Although the flat shape is simple to manufacture, it lacks some design sense and appears a bit monotonous. The emergence of curved shapes brings various style changes to the product. In product design, the design of a curved surface can create a beautiful, round, and smooth texture for the product, giving people a comfortable feeling. Therefore, curved shapes are also increasingly applied to enamel panels.

[0004] According to the existing technology and equipment, a flat shape can be obtained through sheet metal bending. However, it is extremely difficult to manufacture a curved shape using only sheet metal processes, and it is also impossible to meet the consistency requirements of product processing.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a production and processing method suitable for curved enamel panels is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a production and processing method for a curved enamel panel to solve the deficiencies in the existing technology.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A production and processing method for a curved enamel panel specifically includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Mold Design

[0010] According to the product shape and accuracy requirements, combined with the existing press equipment, use 3D software for design modeling and CAE software for simulation and analysis of the stretching forming results;

[0011] (2) Mold Manufacturing

[0012] The mold is initially formed using a casting process, and then the casting is subjected to rough machining, finish machining, assembly, and grinding;

[0013] (3) Product Stamping

[0014] Including: BL+PI / Laser Cutting, DR / Drawing, TR+PI / Laser Cutting, CRST / Sizing / Inclined Wedge Sizing, CFL / Flanging / Inclined Wedge Flanging, RST / Sizing, FL / Flanging;

[0015] (4) Metalworking

[0016] Including: inner hole flanging and blanking, secondary hemming and spot welding, rib welding, laser welding and grinding;

[0017] (5) Enameling process

[0018] Including: pickling, spraying base glaze and surface glaze, drying and enameling firing;

[0019] (6) Pressing process

[0020] Use a nylon curved surface pressing table to shape the curved surface of the plate, and then the curved surface shaped enamel plate can be obtained.

[0021] Furthermore, in the above step (1), for the press equipment, it is necessary to consider whether the size and pressure of the press can meet the stamping requirements; the 3D software is UG (Interactive CAD / CAM system).

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that through mold design and feasibility analysis based on the curved surface shape, it is possible to avoid problems such as sheet interference, sheet wrinkling and cracking during stamping in advance.

[0023] Furthermore, in the above step (2), the lost foam casting process (also known as full-mold casting) is adopted for the casting process. The specific process is as follows: After brushing and drying the foam model with the same size as the casting with refractory material, it is buried in dry quartz sand or perlite sand, forsterite sand and vibrated for molding, and then poured under negative pressure to vaporize the foam model, and the liquid metal occupies the position of the model and forms the casting after solidification and cooling.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above step (3), in the product stamping production process, the raw material steel plate uses a 2mm thick zero-carbon steel plate, and all are laser cut. After cutting, the burrs at the cutting edge and the iron filings on the plate surface are cleaned.

[0025] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that the stamping production process is an advanced metal processing method, which is based on the plastic deformation of metal materials under force. The die and stamping equipment are used to process the sheet metal to obtain the required part shape and size. All raw material steel plates are laser cut, which can ensure the product accuracy and consistency. After cutting, the burrs at the cutting edge and the iron filings on the plate surface are cleaned, which can prevent damage to the stamping die.

[0026] Even further, in the above step (3), it also includes: after the curved surface of the plate is formed, the data of the plate surface is scanned and compared with the digital model. The position with a large plate surface error is repaired and stamped again until the plate surface size meets the design requirements.

[0027] Further, in the above step (4), the inner hole flanging and filling material is specifically as follows: for the slab processed by stamping, its main steel plate surface is integrally formed, and the remaining small components are completed by welding. Some stamping material-deficient positions also need to be completed by repair welding. Further, during the above inner hole flanging and filling material process, the filling material shapes are all simulated by 3D modeling and material splicing. All filling material cutting uses laser cutting, and all use whole plate cutting. Then, after bending, rounding, and deburring, the splicing spot welding with the slab can be carried out.

[0028] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that through the inner hole flanging and filling material, the accuracy of the filling material size can be guaranteed.

[0029] Further, in the above step (4), the secondary flanging spot welding is specifically as follows: before the material splicing of the secondary flanging, the slab needs to be trimmed in size and the inner hole flanging opening contour is actually measured to obtain an accurate primary flanging opening contour, forming a vector file, and then the drawing of the secondary flanging filling material and laser cutting can be carried out.

[0030] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that the primary flanging of the inner hole is formed by die flanging, and there are certain dimensional unevenness and angular rebound deviations. Therefore, the secondary flanging spot welding is carried out.

[0031] Further, in the above step (4), the rib welding is specifically as follows: the 304 stainless steel U-shaped strip with a cross-section is used as the main rib, and the cold-rolled L-shaped strip is used as the auxiliary rib for the angular positioning of each flanging and the contour positioning of the bird window hole. Further, during the above rib welding process, the size of the stainless steel U-shaped strip is 15 + 25 + 15 mm; the size of the cold-rolled L-shaped strip is 30 + 30 * 1.5 mm.

[0032] Further, in the above step (4), the laser welding is specifically as follows: by making full use of the fixation of the slab by the ribs at each position, the welding seams of the slab are within the trajectory error range of the robot laser welding head. With the help of the limit of the laser welding porous platform for the plate, the batch plates can be laser welded within a controllable area, and mass production of the same specifications can be achieved. Further, during the above laser welding process, after the workpiece is completed, a light transmission inspection needs to be carried out, and the unpenetrated positions are manually repaired by welding.

[0033] Further, in the above step (4), the grinding is specifically as follows: the rough grinding + fine repair treatment is carried out on each welding part to ensure that the surface structure of the welding position is smooth without sharp edges; the rust or scratches on the surface of the slab are polished with sandpaper. After sanding 3 times repeatedly, there are no traces visible to the eye and it is smooth and clean to the touch. Further, during the above grinding process, the rough grinding + fine repair treatment is carried out using a grinding wheel, a flat file and a round file, and sandpaper; No120 iron sandpaper is used for sanding.

[0034] Further, in the above step (5), the pickling is specifically as follows: Focus on controlling the mixing ratio concentration, soaking time, cleaning solution temperature, drying temperature, and drying time, and perform manual treatment on the special positions of the slab (the inner cavity of the slab is relatively closed and not conducive to water drainage).

[0035] Further, in the above step (5), the spraying of the base glaze and surface glaze is specifically as follows: Wet spraying of the base glaze on the reverse side, covering it completely, with a thickness of 70 - 100 μm and keeping it uniform, and adjusting the parameters of the spraying line; Manually re-spray the weak spraying positions, and then check whether there are defects such as static electricity sparks, powder flushing, powder spots, and powder shedding on the plate surface.

[0036] Further, in the above step (5), the drying is specifically as follows: Check and clean the accumulated glaze at the acute angles of the inner holes before drying conversion, and check the thickness of the base glaze on the reverse side.

[0037] Further, in the above step (5), the enameling firing is specifically as follows: Adjust the position of the stress suspension points, and raise the temperature to above 800 °C to completely fuse the glaze powder and the steel plate substrate.

[0038] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solutions are as follows: Adjust the position of the stress suspension points to reduce the deformation of the plate during firing, and adopt the slow firing method with an ultra-low wire speed for spraying and firing. The enameling process is a high-temperature heat treatment link, and the glaze powder can only be completely fused with the steel plate substrate after the temperature reaches 800 °C. All indicators in the enameling furnace need to be kept in a stable state to ensure the consistency of color, with the color difference within the controllable range and meeting the requirements of the quality plan.

[0039] Further, in the above step (6), the nylon curved surface pressing platform is specifically as follows: Simulate the original positive and negative curved surfaces of the plate to form a compression layer by bonding the back of the enamel plate, the aluminum honeycomb core, and the 2.0 mm aluminum backboard with epoxy glue, and then use the upper pressing platform and the lower pressing platform to correct the curved surface of the fired enamel plate body. Further, during the above nylon curved surface pressing platform process, the amount of glue applied is 550 - 600 g / m 2 , which is 10 - 20% more than the usual amount of glue; Clean the glue on the back of the aluminum plate, and the backing plate must be flat; Tighten the screw rod assembly with a torque wrench, with a pressure of 50 NM; The pressing temperature is 20 - 30 °C, and the time is more than 16 h.

[0040] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solutions are as follows: The pressing plate process is a process for shaping the curved surface of the plate. Enameling is a crucial test for the surface of the steel plate. The existence of the shape and the curved surface will lead to uneven cooling speeds in different regions, different release speeds of the original stress at high temperatures, and different situations of the plate surface rebounding. Therefore, adding an aluminum honeycomb and a backboard is the only measure that can absorb a part of the corrugation deformation. Among them, the upper pressing platform and the lower pressing platform are profiled according to the positive and negative curved surfaces of the enamel plate, so that the outer dimensions of the plate can be consistent with the design requirements after the pressing is completed.

[0041] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] 1. The production and processing method of the present invention includes die stamping and enamel firing. Specifically, die stamping includes three major parts: die design, die making, and product stamping, and enamel firing includes three major parts: metalworking treatment, enameling process, and pressing process. Among them, die stamping adopts the die stamping method for automobiles. After die debugging, the consistency of processing can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Even if problems are found, adjustments can be made according to the actual situation, and the overall effect is better, and the processing cycle can be guaranteed.

[0043] 2. The curved surface shaped enamel board obtained by the present invention has a shaped size that completely meets the design requirements, with high product consistency, and the size and curved surface error of each board are within 0.5 mm. The product size obtained by die stamping is stable in quality and high in production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0111] b. Spraying primer glaze and top glaze: Apply wet primer glaze on the reverse side, covering it completely, with a thickness of 100 μm and keeping it uniform. Adjust the parameters of the spraying line; conduct manual supplementary spraying on the weak spraying positions, and then check whether there are static electricity sparks, powder flushing, powder spots, and powder dropping on the plate surface.

[0112] c. Drying: Check the accumulation of glaze at the inner hole acute angle and clean it before drying conversion, and check the thickness of the primer glaze on the reverse side.

[0113] d. Porcelain enameling firing: Adjust the position of the force-bearing hanging points, and raise the temperature to 800 °C to completely fuse the glaze powder and the steel plate substrate.

[0114] (6) Pressing Plate Process

[0115] Use a nylon curved pressing table to simulate the original positive and negative curved surfaces of the plate. A compressive layer is formed by bonding the back of the enamel plate, the aluminum honeycomb core 7, and the 2.0 mm aluminum backplate 8 with epoxy glue. Then, use the upper pressing table 6 and the lower pressing table 9 to correct the curvature of the fired enamel plate body (the schematic diagram of the pressing plate process is as Figure 8 shown); among them, the glue application amount is 600 g / m 2 ; Clean the glue on the back of the aluminum plate, and the backing plate must be flat; tighten the screw rod assembly with a torque wrench, and the pressure is 50 NM; the pressing temperature is 30 °C, and the time is 16 h; shape the curved surface of the plate to obtain the curved surface shaped enamel plate.
