Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, and in particular to a design method and system for trimming blade blocks in automotive stamping dies. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section merely refer to the background art related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The design and manufacturing process of automotive stamping parts mainly includes: obtaining the original curved surface model, performing stamping trimming and scrap treatment according to the stamping process, which requires stamping inserts and scrap tool inserts. After the designed inserts are reviewed and modified, the designed inserts are reprocessed by NC machining to obtain the correct NC (Numerical Control) cutting edge die surface for NC path output.

[0004] Currently, large and medium-sized mold enterprises generally spend a long time designing CNC insert trimming mold surface data, resulting in high labor intensity, high time and labor costs, and low production efficiency. This is mainly because the CNC insert trimming mold surface data undergoes review and process modification after design. After process modification, if the designed insert can no longer output the correct CNC path, manual step-by-step comparison checks, interference checks, manual removal of interference parts, manual trimming of the interference parts of the CNC model surface, and manual surface stitching repair are required. Finally, incomplete detection can lead to incorrect or inaccurate output NC paths, resulting in incorrect or low-quality products during machining. Currently, mainstream 3D CAD software lacks specific functions for CNC insert trimming mold surfaces that meet mold design requirements. Designers often use a piecemeal approach to design CNC insert trimming mold surfaces, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee quality and accuracy.

[0045] All data acquisition in this embodiment is carried out in accordance with laws and regulations and with user consent, and the data is used legally.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] This embodiment provides a design method for trimming blade blocks in automotive stamping dies;

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, a design method for a trimming tool block in an automotive stamping die includes:

[0049] S101: Obtain the parameters of the target trimming line and target die surface of the trimming cutter block in the automotive stamping die;

[0050] S102: Read the parameters of the actual trimming line and actual mold surface of the trimming tool block;

[0051] S103: Based on the parameters of the target trimming line and the target mold surface, perform equidistant offset processing on the actual trimming line (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), and perform smoothing optimization on the data after equidistant bias processing (such as...). Figure 3 As shown), construct a new cutting edge die surface;

[0052] S104: Perform an interference check on the new cutting edge die surface and the target die surface (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), if there is no interference, the new cutting edge die surface is used as the final forming cutting edge die surface. If there is interference, the interfering cutting edge die surface is segmented and removed. The resulting curved surfaces are then connected using a bridging method to obtain the final forming cutting edge die surface (as shown). Figure 5 (as shown);

[0053] S105: Extract the offset line for the final formed cutting edge die surface (e.g., Figure 6 As shown), the extracted bias lines are biased and moved to create backplane lines (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), construct the back side of the trimming tool block according to the offset line and the back side line (e.g. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, output the cutting edge and back face data of the trimming tool block.

[0054] This method is characterized by its simple operation, convenient algorithm, high accuracy and efficiency, and can well meet the needs of trimming die surfaces for NC trimming cutter blocks in various stamping die designs.

[0055] It should be understood that the trimming line refers to the curve to be offset when designing the trimming die surface of the trimming blade block; the trimming line is used to remove the process supplement part of the drawn part and the excess material of the blank holder flange.

[0056] It should be understood that the offset line refers to the line obtained by offsetting the curve in a certain direction.

[0057] It should be understood that the back line is the edge line of the back side of the trimming die of the trimming blade block, and the back line refers to the line used to construct the back side of the blade.

[0058] It should be understood that the die surface is the shape data of the automotive parts to be stamped.

[0059] It should be understood that the cutting edge surface refers to the cutting edge surface of the punch and die used for punching or blanking in cold stamping dies.

[0060] Further, S101: Obtain the parameters of the target trimming line and the target die surface of the trimming cutter block in the automotive stamping die;

[0061] The parameters of the target trimming line and the target die surface include: trimming line data, trimming blade block boundary line data, scrap blade line data, digital model data, and stamping direction.

[0062] The trimming line data refers to the curve data specified by the user for trimming.

[0063] The boundary line data of the trimming tool block refers to the curve data specified by the user as the boundary line of the inlay.

[0064] The scrap cutter line data refers to the curve data specified by the user as the scrap cutter for the insert.

[0065] The digital model data refers to the surface data specified by the user as the shape of the product.

[0066] The stamping direction refers to the direction of the movement during stamping.

[0067] Further, S102: Read the parameters of the actual trimming line and the actual mold surface of the trimming tool block.

[0068] Among them, the actual trimming line is the curve of the automotive parts to be stamped.

[0069] Among them, the actual die surface is the surface data of the shape of the automotive part to be stamped;

[0070] The parameters of the actual trimming and the actual die surface include: the curve of the shape of the automotive part to be stamped and the product surface data.

[0071] Based on the trimming line, read the parameter control point data of the trimming line, the curvature of each parameter control point, and the parameters expressed therein;

[0072] Based on the known shape parameters and mold input parameters, analyze the parameter control point data of the trimming line, the curvature of each parameter control point, and the parameters expressed therein.

[0073] Further, in step S103: based on the parameters of the target trimming line and the target die surface, the actual trimming line is subjected to equidistant offset processing, and the data after equidistant offset processing is smoothed and optimized to construct a new cutting edge die surface. The specific process includes:

[0074] S103-1: Use the boundary line of the trimming blade block to cut the trimming line, obtaining the trimmed trimming line (e.g., Figure 9 (as shown);

[0075] S103-2: Extract the parameter points of the trimmed edge line after trimming to obtain a point array. Apply an offset vector to the point array according to the direction of constructing the cutting edge die surface. Process the offset point array using the boundary tracking method. Reconstruct the curve using the point array. Then perform smoothing optimization on the constructed curve to obtain a smooth offset line.

[0076] S103-3: After constructing the trimming line and offset line, a ruled surface is used to create a curved surface, resulting in a new cutting edge die surface.

[0077] It should be understood that the cutting edge surface refers to the cutting surface of the trimming tool block. The boundary line is the boundary curve that constructs the surface of the trimming tool block. Parameter points are the control points that constitute the curve. The point array is used to store the coordinates of the curve control points. The boundary tracking method is the path along the boundary topology that constitutes the surface.

[0078] In step S103, the curvature of the curve is changed where the curvature is greater than a set threshold so that the curve region is smoother.

[0079] It should be understood that S103-2: Obtain the parameter division points of the curve, and move the points using a specified direction and distance. Fit the moved curve parameter control points to a curve, remove overlapping and intersecting parts, and obtain the target offset line. Use trimming lines and offset lines to create cutting edge die surface data using ruled surfaces or ribbon surfaces. According to the parameter specifications of the NC insert trimming die surface design, offset the obtained parameter control point data according to the curvature and expressed parameters of each parameter control point.

[0080] The offset processing logic is as follows: based on the trimming die surface parameters of the trimming tool block, each parameter control point is moved in a specified direction and distance. Finally, each point is connected and fitted into a curve along the path of the outermost boundary of the surface.

[0081] The smoothing optimization process involves removing duplicates and intersections from the offset fitted curves to obtain the offset line data for the cutting edge die surface.

[0082] Based on the parameter specifications of the trimming die surface of the trimming tool block, the cutting edge die surface is constructed using trimming lines and offset lines.

[0083] Further, in step S104: an interference check is performed on the new cutting edge die surface and the target die surface, wherein the specific steps of the interference check include:

[0084] Points are sampled within the curved surfaces of both the new and target die surfaces. The coordinates of any sampled point on the new die surface in the stamping direction are compared to the coordinates of any sampled point on the target die surface in the stamping direction. If they exceed each other, interference is considered present; otherwise, no interference is considered present. Figure 10 (As shown).

[0085] For the new cutting edge die surface, a regional step size method is used for sampling points and dividing the region. The coordinate data values ​​of the sampled points are used to calculate the distance to the target die surface. Based on the calculated distance, the interference region is determined. For example... Figure 11 As shown, regional step size is the process of dividing a region into several regions of equal length, with each region having a regional step size.

[0086] Based on the distance calculation data, it is determined whether the regions after the construction of the cutting edge die surface data are divided interfered with the input digital die surface. If there is interference, the interfering cutting edge region is removed, and a shape surface of the same size as the interfering cutting edge region is obtained on the shape surface of the automotive part to be stamped. The obtained shape surface of the same size and the remaining non-interfering cutting edge die surface data are connected by a bridging method to finally form a new cutting edge die surface.

[0087] If the distance in the stamping direction is greater than the tolerance (e.g., 0.01), it is considered interference.

[0088] Furthermore, the cutting edge die surface in the interference region is segmented and removed, and the resulting curved surfaces are connected by bridging to obtain the final shaped cutting edge die surface. The specific steps for segmenting and removing the interference cutting edge die surface include:

[0089] First, determine the size of the interference region data. Then, trim the surfaces within the interference region, retaining the surfaces without interference regions.

[0090] Digital model data refers to the curved surface shape of the automotive parts to be stamped.

[0091] The interference region is segmented and removed. Based on the interference region, regional digital model data is obtained. The obtained regional digital model data is then bridged to the constructed non-interference cutting edge surface data in a bridging manner, and the output cutting edge surface data is constructed sequentially.

[0092] First, determine the area of ​​interference in the digital model data. Regional digital model data includes both the interfering area and the non-interfering area.

[0093] Further, in step S105: extracting the offset line from the final formed cutting edge die surface, the specific steps include:

[0094] Identify the outermost boundary line of the final formed cutting edge die surface and use the identified outermost boundary line as the offset line.

[0095] Extract the continuous boundary line tangent to the cutting edge die surface, and find the boundary line on the same side as the offset line of the cutting edge die surface to replace the original offset line.

[0096] Furthermore, the process of biasing and shifting the extracted bias lines to create backside lines specifically includes:

[0097] According to the set width and angle, the extracted offset line is offset and moved at equal intervals to obtain the back line.

[0098] Furthermore, the construction of the back side of the trimming block based on the offset line and the back side line specifically includes:

[0099] After constructing the offset line and the blade back boundary line, a ruled surface is used to create a curved surface to obtain the blade back data.

[0100] By combining the boundary lines of the cutting edge and the back of the blade, the trimming data and the die surface data of the trimming blade block are finally formed.

[0101] Based on the parameter specifications of the NC insert trimming die surface, the tangent continuous boundary line of the cutting edge die surface is extracted. The boundary line on the same side as the offset line of the cutting edge die surface is found and replaced with the original offset line. After offsetting and moving at a specified width and angle, the back line is obtained.

[0102] Based on the parameter specifications of the NC insert trimming die surface, the offset line and back line are created using a ruled surface method to obtain the back surface data of the tool.

[0103] Output NC insert trimming die surface data that meets parameter specifications.
