Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cold stamping technology, and specifically discloses a flanging die and a flanging unloading method for an engine hood outer panel part. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, a car engine hood is formed by binding together an outer hood panel and an inner hood panel, used to cover the car engine and engine compartment components. Before binding, the outer hood panel is manufactured by stamping, and the stamping process generally includes: blanking → drawing → trimming → flanging. The molds used to form the car engine hood are generally called flanging molds or folding molds.

[0003] Flanging or folding dies are one of the basic die types used in the stamping of passenger vehicle engine hood outer panel parts. The specific function of a flanging or folding die is to create a flange of 90° or less on the edge of the part. After flanging, the part will be stuck on the die and cannot be directly grasped by the robot. Unloading is required first to demold the part before it can be grasped by the robot. Currently, there are two main unloading methods:

[0004] 1.1.1 Pneumatic Ejector Unloading Method Based on Time-Sequence Control: This method is a one-time flanging forming process. The principle is to use compressed air to drive a telescopic cylinder, causing the ejector sliders to push the part in a time sequence to complete the demolding process. This method includes: Step 1: Placing two sets of pneumatic ejector devices (a total of 12 ejector sliders) on the front, back, left, right, and four corners of the engine hood outer panel part, plus a pneumatic rubber ejector tray in the middle area of ​​the part, and movable punches driven by large cylinders on the left and right sides of the mold. Step 2: Using 3 or 4 sets of automated air source controllers on the press trolley, all the above pneumatic devices are controlled in a time sequence, so that the movable punches on the left and right sides of the mold sink first, and then the 12 ejector sliders push in the order of ① rear ② left and right ③ front ④ four corners to demold the part. Step 3: The ejector tray in the middle of the part pushes to complete the unloading. Step 4: Robot gripping. The disadvantages of the time-sequence-controlled pneumatic ejector slider unloading method are as follows: 1. Slow unloading speed: The entire unloading process involves multiple time sequences that cannot be parallelized, resulting in significant time waste and becoming a bottleneck process in automated production lines, leading to low CT values. 2. Energy waste: It requires 12 medium-sized cylinders and 3 large cylinders, resulting in a large total consumption of compressed air and energy waste. 3. High failure rate: The thickness of parts is generally between 0.5 and 1 mm. If the gap between the ejector slider and the punch is too small, the resistance is high, affecting the unloading speed. If the gap is too large, the parts may get stuck between the ejector slider and the punch or deform. Furthermore, the rapid switching of multiple cylinders leads to unstable air pressure, which also affects normal unloading. Therefore, the overall failure rate is high.

[0005] 1.2.1 Unloading Method Based on Multiple Molds for Separate Flanging Forming: This method involves a multi-stage flanging forming process. The principle is to break down the flanging process into 2-3 separate molds for flanging (each mold only completes flanging on one side). This eliminates the problem of the engine hood outer panel being stuck on the mold punches from all four directions after a single flanging formation, allowing the robot to grasp the part and complete unloading through trajectory adjustment. Compared to the time-controlled pneumatic ejection unloading method, the overall production line speed is faster. The disadvantages of the multi-mold separate flanging forming unloading method are: 1. High cost: This method requires manufacturing 2-3 additional molds for flanging the parts separately. Each additional mold requires an additional press and a set of robots, resulting in a large footprint and extremely high investment costs. 2. Energy waste: The need for additional presses and robots leads to energy waste. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a flanging mold for engine hood outer panel parts to solve the above defects.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific steps include:

[0026] S1, the upper die base is located at the upper limit position of the press slide; the stroke drive cylinder of the horizontal movable punch extends, causing the rear flanging punch to move away from the fixed punch; the nitrogen spring B of the left oblique wedge movable punch extends, causing the flanging oblique wedge punch slide to sink below the fixed punch; the nitrogen spring pushes the fixed floating positioning and the stroke floating positioning to the floating position; the stroke cylinder of the stroke floating positioning extends, causing the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod to approach the fixed punch; the fixed positioning then the side flanging punch moves away from the fixed punch;

[0027] S2. The part is put into the mold, and under the action of the variable part positioning system, the part is completely fitted with the fixed punch.

[0028] S3. The press starts working. The upper die base moves downward with the press slide. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate on the upper die base contacts the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate, driving the flanging inclined wedge punch slide to move obliquely upward, so that the flanging inclined wedge punch slide, the fixed punch and the rear flanging punch are spliced ​​together to form a complete flanging punch surface; the horizontal movable punch drive guide plate on the upper die base contacts the horizontal movable punch driven guide plate, limiting the rear flanging punch; the upper die floating positioning drive rod contacts the floating positioning positioning mounting block, causing the fixed floating positioning and the stroke floating positioning to sink, in order to avoid the upper die inclined wedge flanging cutter;

[0029] S4. When the press slide moves to the lower limit position, the mold is completely closed, and the upper die oblique wedge flanging knife flanging the engine hood part to form the engine hood part flanging.

[0030] S5. The press slide begins its return stroke. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate of the left inclined wedge movable punch disengages from the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate. Nitrogen spring B extends, pushing the flanging inclined wedge punch slide downwards, causing the flanging inclined wedge punch slide to disengage from the left flanging edge of the engine hood part. The movement of the right inclined wedge movable punch is a mirror image of the left inclined wedge movable punch about the mold centerline, causing the right flanging edge of the engine hood part to disengage. The upper mold floating positioning drive rod disengages from the positioning mounting block, causing the fixed floating positioning and stroke floating positioning to float upwards.

[0031] S6. When the press slide returns to 50%, the stroke cylinder of the stroke floating positioning retracts, so that the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod is in a position away from the fixed punch; the stroke drive cylinder of the horizontal moving punch retracts, pulling the rear flanging punch closer to the fixed punch; the fixed positioning on the rear flanging punch pushes the engine hood part forward to the position of the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod, so that the flanging of the engine hood part in front of the engine hood part is separated from the fixed punch;

[0032] S7. The press slide returns to its upper limit, the part has been unloaded, and the robot enters the mold to grab the part.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, low cost, high precision, and high efficiency. By introducing a variable part positioning system and three cooperating movable punch components, this invention achieves horizontal displacement unloading of stamped engine hood outer panel parts. Compared with the unloading methods used in the industry, this invention solves the following problems: it firstly overcomes the disadvantages of high equipment investment costs, large footprint, and high energy consumption associated with the multi-die flanging unloading method. Secondly, compared to the time-controlled pneumatic ejector slider unloading method, which suffers from long operation time, high energy consumption, and high failure rate, this invention also has the following advantages over existing technologies: 1.

The number of pneumatic drive units is reduced from 15 to 3, reducing total air consumption by 85% and significantly reducing pressure loss air energy consumption; 3. It eliminates the ejector unloading device, thus eliminating the need for a gap-fit ​​unloading structure and completely eliminating the failure rate caused by material jamming leading to robot grasping failure. Furthermore, it has significant advantages in simplifying mold universal design, accelerating mold assembly and debugging, and shortening the rapid stabilization cycle for new mold introduction. It ensures the production stability of an efficient and green factory and has great promotional value.

[0068] This invention also discloses a method for unloading engine hood outer panel parts by flanging. The method uses an engine hood outer panel part flanging die to stamp engine hood part 100 into engine hood part flanging 101. The angle of the formed engine hood part flanging 101 is less than or equal to 90°. After the engine hood part flanging 101 is completed, when the lower die base 1 and the upper die base 2 are separated, the inclined wedge movable punch first completes the separation of engine hood part flanging 101 and inclined wedge movable punch under the action of nitrogen spring B64. Then, the stroke drive cylinder 53 works, and the fixed positioning 41 on the horizontal movable punch 5 realizes the separation of engine hood part flanging 101 from fixed punch 3 along the X-axis of engine hood part 100.

[0069] Preferably, the specific steps include:

[0070] S1, the upper die base 2 is located at the limit position of the press slide; the stroke drive cylinder 53 of the horizontal movable punch 5 extends, causing the rear flanging punch 51 to move away from the fixed punch 3; the nitrogen spring B64 of the left oblique wedge movable punch 6 extends, causing the flanging oblique wedge punch slide 61 to sink below the fixed punch 3; the nitrogen spring 44 pushes the fixed floating positioning 42 and the stroke floating positioning 43 to the floating position; the stroke cylinder 49 of the stroke floating positioning 43 extends, causing the stroke cylinder telescopic positioning rod 50 to approach the fixed punch 3; the fixed positioning 41 then moves the flanging punch 51 away from the fixed punch 3;

[0071] S2. The part is put into the mold, and under the action of the variable part positioning system 4, the part is completely fitted with the fixed punch 3.

[0072] S3. The press starts working. The upper die base 2 moves downward with the press slide. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate 71 on the upper die base 2 contacts the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate 63, driving the flanging inclined wedge punch slide 61 to move obliquely upward, so that the flanging inclined wedge punch slide 61 splices with the fixed punch 3 and the rear flanging punch 51 to form a complete flanging punch surface. The horizontal movable punch drive guide plate 55 on the upper die base 2 contacts the horizontal movable punch driven guide plate 54, limiting the rear flanging punch 51. The upper die floating positioning drive rod 48 contacts the floating positioning positioning mounting block 46, causing the fixed floating positioning 42 and the stroke floating positioning 43 to sink, in order to avoid the upper die inclined wedge flanging cutter 8.

[0074] S5. The press slide begins its return stroke. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate 71 of the left inclined wedge movable punch 6 disengages from the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate 63. The nitrogen spring B64 extends, pushing the flange inclined wedge punch slide 61 downward, causing the flange inclined wedge punch slide 61 to disengage from the left flange 101 of the engine hood part. The movement of the right inclined wedge movable punch 7 is a mirror image of the left inclined wedge movable punch 6 with respect to the mold centerline, causing the right flange 101 of the engine hood part to disengage. The upper mold floating positioning drive rod 48 disengages from the positioning mounting block 46, causing the fixed floating positioning 42 and the stroke floating positioning 43 to float upward.

[0075] S6. When the press slide returns to 50%, the stroke cylinder 49 of the stroke floating positioning 43 retracts, so that the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod 50 is in a position away from the fixed punch 3; the stroke drive cylinder 53 of the horizontal movable punch 5 retracts, pulling the rear flanging punch 51 closer to the fixed punch 3; the fixed positioning 41 on the rear flanging punch 51 pushes the engine hood part 100 forward to the position of the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod 50, so that the engine hood part flanging 101 in front of the engine hood part 100 disengages from the fixed punch 3;

[0076] S7. The press slide returns to its upper limit, the part has been unloaded, and the robot enters the mold to grab the part.

[0090] S2. The part is put into the mold, and under the action of the variable part positioning system 4, the part is completely attached to the fixed punch 3.

[0091] S3. The press starts working, and the upper die base 2 moves downward with the press slide. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate 71 on the upper die base 2 contacts the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate 63, driving the flange inclined wedge punch slide 61 to move obliquely upward (e.g., Figure 13 As shown), the slanting wedge punch slider 61 is spliced ​​with the fixed punch 3 and the rear slanting punch 51 to form a complete slanting punch surface; the horizontal movable punch drive guide plate 55 on the upper die base 2 contacts the horizontal movable punch driven guide plate 54 (the stroke drive cylinder 53 realizes coarse adjustment, and the horizontal movable punch drive guide plate 55 and the horizontal movable punch driven guide plate 54 cooperate with the position of the rear slanting punch 51 to ensure the accuracy of the part flanging), limiting the rear slanting punch 51; the upper die floating positioning drive rod 48 contacts the floating positioning positioning mounting block 46, causing the fixed floating positioning 42 and the stroke floating positioning 43 to sink, in order to avoid the upper die slanting wedge flanging cutter 8 (avoiding interference from the slanting wedge flanging cutter 8 positioning rod 47).

[0093] S5. The press slide begins its return stroke. The inclined wedge movable punch drive guide plate 71 of the left inclined wedge movable punch 6 disengages from the inclined wedge movable punch driven guide plate 63. The nitrogen spring B 64 extends, pushing the flange inclined wedge punch slide 61 downward, causing the flange inclined wedge punch slide 61 to disengage from the left flange of the engine hood part (e.g., Figure 15 (As shown); the movement of the right inclined wedge movable punch 7 and the left inclined wedge movable punch 6 are mirror images of each other with respect to the mold centerline, causing the right edge of the engine hood part to detach; the upper mold floating positioning drive rod 48 detaches from the positioning mounting block 46, causing the fixed floating positioning 42 and the stroke floating positioning 43 to float upward.

[0094] S6. When the press slide returns to 50%, the stroke cylinder 49 of the stroke floating positioning 43 retracts, causing the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod 50 to be positioned away from the fixed punch 3; the stroke drive cylinder 53 of the horizontal movable punch 5 retracts, pulling the rear flanging punch 51 closer to the fixed punch 3; the fixed positioning 41 on the rear flanging punch 51 pushes the engine hood part 100 forward to the position of the stroke cylinder extension positioning rod 50, causing the engine hood part flange 101 in front of the engine hood part 100 to disengage from the fixed punch 3 (e.g., Figure 16 (As shown).

[0095] S7. The press slide returns to its upper limit, the part has been unloaded, and the robot enters the mold to grab the part.
