Detailed Implementation

[0046] This invention addresses the technical problem in the prior art that the processing and manufacturing of the same type of parts of different lengths requires the separate design of drawing dies and trimming machine punching dies, resulting in long die development cycles and high manufacturing costs. It provides a die-closing device for parts of different lengths.

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] This invention provides a mold-closing device for parts of different lengths. Structurally, it mainly comprises two parts: a drawing die and a trimming and punching die. The drawing die is positioned upstream of the trimming and punching die in the process flow. The drawing die is used to draw and form parts of different lengths, while the trimming and punching die is used to trim and punch parts of different lengths. This mold-closing device for parts of different lengths can complete the drawing, trimming, and punching processes of parts of different lengths using a single set of molds by switching internal structures. This reduces the design and development work of the molds, lowers the corresponding mold development costs, and reduces the number of mold changes required on the production line, improving workshop production efficiency. It solves the technical problems of long mold development cycles and high manufacturing costs in existing technologies.

[0049] Specifically: such as Figure 1The drawing die includes: a first upper die 11, a first lower die 12, a lower die base 17, a first upper die cutting edge insert 13, a first lower die cutting edge 14, a blank holder 15, and a first positioning assembly. Among these, the first upper die 11, the first lower die 12, and the first blank holder 15 are existing, mature components, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here. The first upper die 11 is positioned directly above the first lower die 12, and the blank holder 15 is positioned outside the first lower die 12. The first lower die 12 and the blank holder 15 are mounted on the lower die base 17. The first upper die 11 and the first lower die 12 are the main force-applying components in the drawing process, and the blank holder 15 is a force-applying component used to fix the edge of the part during the drawing process. The first upper die cutting edge insert 13 is fixed to the lower end of the first upper die 11, and the first lower die cutting edge 14 is fixed to the upper end of the first lower die 12. The first upper die cutting edge insert 13 and the first lower die cutting edge 14 cooperate to form the part. The first positioning component is set on the first lower mold 12. The first positioning component is used to position parts of different lengths. Specifically, during the positioning process, version switching can be performed to adapt to the positioning of parts of different lengths.

[0050] In the above scheme, such as Figure 1 The first positioning component can adopt various structures; for example, the first positioning component includes: a first positioning fixture 161, a second positioning fixture 162, a third positioning fixture, a fourth positioning fixture 164, and a fifth positioning fixture 165. The first positioning fixture 161 is located on the front side of the upper end of the first lower mold 12 and is used for positioning the front side of the part. The second positioning fixture 162 is located on the rear side of the upper end of the first lower mold 12 and is used for positioning the rear side of long parts; the third positioning fixture is located on the inner side of the upper end of the first lower mold 12 and is used for positioning the rear side of short parts; specifically, the third positioning fixture includes: a first cylinder 1631 and a positioning rod 1632. The first cylinder 1631 is located on the inner side of the first lower mold 12; the movable end of the first cylinder 1631 is connected to the positioning rod 1632, and the first cylinder 1631 is used to drive the positioning rod 1632 to move longitudinally. The fourth positioning fixture 164 is located on the left side of the upper end of the first lower mold 12 and is used for positioning the left side of the part. The fifth positioning fixture 165 is located on the right side of the upper end of the first lower mold 12 and is used to position the right side of the part.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 The working process of the drawing die is as follows:

[0052] When part A (short-sized part 3) is being produced, the air pipe on the mold is connected to the air source connector on the press workbench, providing air to the first cylinder 1631. The positioning rod 1632 is in the ejected state. When the mold is at the top dead center, the pressure ring 15 is in the lifted state, and the robot arm puts the sheet metal A into the mold cavity. The sheet metal is positioned by the positioning rod 1632 of the third positioning fixture, as well as the first positioning fixture 161, the fourth positioning fixture 164, and the fifth positioning base. As the upper die 11 descends with the upper slide of the press, 8mm before the upper die 11 contacts the pressure ring 15, the cutting edge insert 13 of the upper die, in conjunction with the cutting edge 14 of the lower die, begins to gradually pierce the sheet metal A. The upper die 11 continues to descend, and the pressure ring 15 comes into complete contact with the sheet metal, and the part begins to be drawn and formed. After descending to the bottom dead center, the sheet metal A is completely formed in the cavity of the upper die 11 and the lower die 12. The upper die 11 continues to rise with the press slide to the top dead center, and the pressure ring 15 is lifted up together with the upper die 11. At this time, the robot arm grabs the workpiece in the drawn die after it has been formed and puts it into the trimming and punching die for trimming and punching.

[0053] When part B (long part 4) is being produced, the air pipe on the mold is connected to the air source connector on the press worktable, providing a retraction air source to the first cylinder 1631, and the positioning rod 1632 is in the retraction state (the positioning rod 1632 retracts below the first lower mold 12). When the mold is at the top dead center, the pressure ring 15 is in the lifting state, and the robot arm puts the sheet metal B into the mold cavity, relying on the first positioning fixture 161, the second positioning fixture 162, the fourth positioning fixture 164, and the fifth positioning fixture 165 to position the sheet metal. As the upper die 11 descends with the upper slide of the press, 8mm before the upper die 11 contacts the pressure ring 15, the cutting edge insert 13 of the upper die, in conjunction with the cutting edge 14 of the lower die, begins to gradually pierce the sheet metal B. The upper die 11 continues to descend, and the pressure ring 15 comes into complete contact with the sheet metal, and the part begins to be drawn and formed. After descending to the bottom dead center, the sheet metal B is completely formed in the cavity of the upper die 11 and the lower die 12. The upper die 11 continues to rise with the press slide to the top dead center, and the pressure ring 15 is lifted up together with the upper die 11. At this time, the robot arm grabs the workpiece in the formed drawing die and puts it into the trimming and punching die for trimming and punching.

[0054] Trimming and punching is the next step in drawing forming. This invention further modifies the trimming and punching die, such as... Figure 2The trimming and punching die includes: an upper die base 21, a second upper die 22, a second lower die 23, a punching assembly, a first upper die trimming insert 25, a first lower die trimming insert 26, a second lower die trimming insert 27, and a second positioning assembly. The second upper die 22 is fixed to the lower end of the upper die base 21 and is positioned directly above the second lower die 23. The second upper die 22 and the second lower die 23 are existing, mature components, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here. The second upper die 22 and the second lower die 23 are the main force-applying components in the trimming and punching process. The punching assembly is an important component for trimming and punching short-sized parts. The punching assembly is located inside the second upper die 22, and the first lower die trimming insert 26 is located at the upper end of the second lower die 23. The punching assembly cooperates with the first lower die trimming insert 26 to trim and punch short-sized parts. The first upper die trimming insert 25 is fixed to the lower end of the second upper die 22, and the second lower die trimming insert 27 is disposed at the upper end of the second lower die 23. The first upper die trimming insert 25 and the second lower die trimming insert 27 cooperate to trim and punch long parts. The second positioning component is disposed on the second lower die 23 and is used to position parts of different lengths. Similarly, during the positioning process, version switching can be performed to adapt to the positioning of parts of different lengths.

[0055] like Figure 2In this embodiment, the punching assembly is specifically designed as follows: its structure mainly includes: a cylinder mounting plate 51, a second cylinder 52, a cylinder connecting block 53, a hook 54, a first guide plate 55, a second guide plate 56, a drive guide plate 57, a wedge drive pad 58, a wedge seat body 59, a drive seat 510, a third guide plate 511, a first nitrogen spring 512, a second nitrogen spring 513, a third nitrogen spring 514, and a second upper die trimming insert 515. The upper die base 21 is provided with air inlet and outlet interfaces, each containing a separate air inlet and outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air inlet end of the second cylinder 52, and the air outlet is connected to the air outlet end of the second cylinder 52. The second cylinder 52 is mounted on the upper die base 21 via the cylinder mounting plate 51. The piston rod of the second cylinder 52 is connected to the drive seat 510 via the cylinder connecting block 53 and the hook 54. The first guide plate 55 and the second guide plate 56 are fixed on the upper mold base 21 to guide the drive seat 510 to move laterally. The drive guide plate 57 is mounted on the drive seat 510, and the wedge drive pad 58 is mounted on the wedge seat body 59. The drive guide plate 57 and the wedge drive pad 58 cooperate to convert the lateral movement into longitudinal movement. The third guide plate 511 is arranged longitudinally, and the wedge seat body 59 is located inside the third guide plate 511. The third guide plate 511 is used to guide the wedge seat body 59 to move longitudinally. The second upper mold trimming insert 515 is connected to the lower end of the wedge seat body 59 via the first nitrogen spring 512 and the second nitrogen spring 513. The second upper mold trimming insert 515 is also connected to the second upper mold base 21 via the third nitrogen spring 514. The second upper mold trimming insert 515 cooperates with the first lower mold trimming insert 26.

[0056] like Figure 2 The second positioning component includes: a sixth positioning fixture 281, a seventh positioning fixture 282, an eighth positioning fixture, a ninth positioning fixture 284, and a tenth positioning fixture 285. The sixth positioning fixture 281 is located on the front side of the upper end of the second lower mold 23 and is used for positioning the front side of the part. The seventh positioning fixture 282 is located on the rear side of the upper end of the second lower mold 23 and is used for positioning the rear side of long parts. The eighth positioning fixture is located on the inner side of the upper end of the second lower mold 23 and is used for positioning the rear side of short parts; specifically, the eighth positioning fixture includes: a third cylinder 2831 and a stop block 2832; the third cylinder 2831 is located on the inner side of the second lower mold 23; the movable end of the third cylinder 2831 is connected to the stop block 2832, and the third cylinder 2831 is used to drive the stop block 2832 to move longitudinally. The ninth positioning fixture 284 is located on the left side of the upper end of the second lower mold 23 and is used for positioning the left side of the part. The tenth positioning fixture 285 is located on the right side of the upper end of the second lower mold 23 and is used for positioning the right side of the part.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 The working process of the trimming and punching die is as follows:

[0058] When part A (short-sized part 3) is being produced, an air pipe is used to connect the air inlet of the third cylinder 2831 on the mold to the air source connector on the press worktable. At this time, an air source is supplied to the second cylinder 52, causing the piston rod of the second cylinder 52 to extend. The drive guide plate 57, along with the drive seat 510, is driven to the right by the second cylinder 52. The wedge drive pad 58 is driven downwards by the inclined surface of the drive guide plate 57. The second upper mold trimming insert 515 and the wedge seat body 59 move downwards together with the wedge drive pad 58 under the guidance of the guide plate. The second upper mold trimming insert 515 extends, completing the mold version state switch. Driven by the air source, the piston rod of the third cylinder 2831 extends, and the stop block 2832 of the eighth positioning fixture extends upwards with the drive of the third cylinder 2831, completing the external positioning switch.

[0059] When the mold is at the top dead center, the stop block 2832 of the eighth positioning fixture is in the lifted state. The robot arm puts the workpiece A into the mold cavity, and the workpiece A is positioned by the sixth positioning fixture 281, the eighth positioning fixture, the ninth positioning fixture 284, and the tenth positioning fixture 285. As the upper die 22 moves down with the upper slide of the press, the blank holder contacts the surface of the lower die 23, and the workpiece A receives the blank holder force. The upper die 22 continues to move down with the upper slide of the press, and the trimming insert 515 of the upper die begins to enter, and the workpiece A begins to be trimmed and punched. After the upper die 22 moves down to the bottom dead center, the workpiece A is completely trimmed and punched in the cavity of the blank holder and the lower die 23. The upper die 22 continues to move up with the upper slide of the press to the top dead center. At this time, the robot arm picks up the formed workpiece A and puts it into the next process mold for shaping (e.g., Figure 5 (The state shown).

[0060] When part B (long part 4) is being produced, an air pipe is used to connect the air inlet and outlet ports of the second cylinder 52 on the mold to the air source connector on the press workbench. At this time, air is supplied to the second cylinder 52, causing its telescopic rod to retract. The drive guide plate 57, along with the drive seat 510, is driven to the left by the second cylinder 52. At this time, the first nitrogen spring 512 and the second nitrogen spring 513 are in a compressed state. When the drive guide plate 57 is fully retracted, the wedge drive pad 58, the second upper mold trimming insert 515, and the wedge seat body 59 are in contact with the first nitrogen gas. Under the elastic force of spring 512 and the second nitrogen spring 513, the second upper mold trimming insert 515 is completely retracted. The force of the first nitrogen spring 512 and the second nitrogen spring 513 is greater than the weight of the third nitrogen spring 514 and the wedge seat body 59 itself, ensuring that the second upper mold trimming insert 515 will not be ejected after it is completely retracted, thus completing the mold version state switch. Driven by the air source, the piston rod of the third cylinder 2831 retracts, and the stop block 2832 of the eighth positioning fixture retracts downward to below the surface of the second lower mold 23 as driven by the cylinder, thus completing the external positioning switch.

[0061] When the mold is at the top dead center, the stop block 2832 of the eighth positioning fixture is in the retracted state. The robot arm puts the workpiece B into the mold cavity, and the workpiece B is positioned by the sixth, seventh, ninth, and tenth outer positioning fixtures. As the upper die 22 descends with the upper slide of the press, the blank holder contacts the surface of the lower die 23, and the workpiece B is subjected to the blank holder force. As the upper die 22 continues to descend with the upper slide of the press, the trimming insert 25 of the first upper die begins to enter, and the part begins to be trimmed and punched. After the upper die 22 descends to the bottom dead center, the workpiece B is completely trimmed and punched in the cavity of the blank holder and the lower die 23. The upper die 22 continues to rise with the press slide to the top dead center. At this time, the robot arm picks up the formed workpiece B and puts it into the next process mold for shaping (e.g., Figure 5 (The state shown).
