Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive body panel mold manufacturing technology, and in particular to a mold forming manufacturing method for multi-joint automotive body panels. Background Technology
[0002] To enhance vehicle strength, reduce costs and weight, and save energy, splicing sheet metal has become an important method in the manufacturing process of automotive parts. It is widely used in load-bearing components such as beams and doors. The high strength, weight reduction, and low cost advantages of spliced sheet metal have gained widespread market trust.
[0003] In existing technologies, the manufacturing of spliced sheet metal automotive parts mainly relies on traditional forming analysis methods combined with multiple adjustments by fitters to create molds. While this is barely feasible for traditional sheet metal, the mold manufacturing costs are high, the cycle is long, and there are many uncertainties, affecting the overall quality. This is especially true for splicing multiple sheet metals of varying thicknesses or lightweight sheet metals, such as aluminum alloys, where forming is almost impossible. Therefore, the high forming difficulty, high mold manufacturing costs, low quality, and large variations in results from different pressure equipment severely restrict the application of multi-splicing technology. The main challenges lie not only in the different material thicknesses at the joints, leading to poor overall part quality due to improper material slippage control, and the difficulty in controlling slippage when splicing lightweight materials or different materials, but also in the influence of production equipment. After mold manufacturing, variations occur during online production, and equipment differences have a significant impact, making it impossible to use the mold with high precision. This poses a significant challenge to the application of multi-splicing technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this invention proposes a mold forming manufacturing method for multi-joint automotive body panels, which solves the technical problem that existing technologies cannot guarantee the forming quality after welding plates of different thicknesses or materials.
[0005] The technical solution of this application is as follows: A method for manufacturing a multi-joint automotive body panel using mold forming, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Main trend analysis; This mainly involves analyzing the overall shape of the parts and the direction of the splicing panels, using the splicing direction line as the main direction line, and taking the highest point of the parts as the center to explore the trend outline. Step 2: Constructing the dispersed slip drawbar; Step 3, Reverse material feeding compensation; Reverse material feeding compensation is mainly for the material feeding setting in the splicing joint direction. It optimizes the shape of both sides of the joint to ensure that the material feeding area is outside the joint, so as to ensure that the joint area does not deform or deforms less. Step 4, Gradual Transition Zone; The purpose of the gradual transition zone is to create a gap at the joint position to prevent the thicker plate area from sliding into the thinner plate area at the joint position and causing cracks or scratches. However, if the transition zone is too large, it is easy to cause insufficient forming or product defects. Therefore, the setting of the transition zone should be adjusted according to the material thickness and shape. Step 5: Unequal gap die surface compensation; Unequal gap die surface compensation is mainly for the punch and vertical surface. The overall die gap is controlled according to the shape of the part to achieve a dynamic full fit under the deformation of the die under pressure, so as to ensure the forming quality of the part. The compensation is divided into two types: center surface compensation and vertical surface compensation. Step 6: Pressure Equipment Deflection Compensation; Pressure equipment deflection compensation involves establishing a machine tool deflection cloud map based on the difference between the deflection of the pressure equipment workbench on the manufacturing production line and the deflection of the pressure equipment at the mold manufacturing stage, forming a deflection parameter module, and performing corresponding deflection compensation on the part punch, so that no machine error variation occurs after the mold enters the production line, ensuring product quality.
[0006] Preferably, the specific method of step 1 includes the following steps: Step 1.1: Construct splicing direction array lines; extract the splicing line of the part as the baseline, and then make a parallel line array with a spacing of 100mm. At the same time, construct lines along the vertical direction of the array line at 100mm intervals until the entire part area is covered, forming the splicing direction array lines. Step 1.2: Using the highest point of the part as the center, construct a cone or trapezoidal body according to the shape of the part as an envelope to cover the entire part. If the part shape is similar to a basin, construct a cone; if the part shape is similar to a box, construct a trapezoid. Move the envelope down to the top 15-25mm away from the highest point. Step 1.3: Construct a plane with the splicing direction array lines to form an intersecting surface with the envelope. The intersection line is used as a trend line. Break the intersection line with the splicing direction array lines to form line segments. Translate each line segment to the edge of the part outline. Connect the middle part of the adjacent line segments with the splicing direction array lines to form the main trend outline of the part, thus completing the main trend analysis.
[0007] Preferably, the specific method of step 2 includes: taking the conventional drawbead arrangement position of the part as a reference position, optimizing the rounding with the main trend contour line as the main direction, and smoothly transitioning the drawbead to form a drawbead whose trend is similar to the main trend contour line; the drawbead can be designed as a square rib or a round rib according to the characteristics of the part, but the width of the drawbead needs to be consistent and cannot be a gradient drawbead; when the drawbead locking material is insufficient, a drawbead array is made to generate multiple drawbeads, but the width of the drawbead needs to be consistent except at the end, and the spacing between the drawbeads is between 25-35mm.
[0008] Preferably, the anti-material compensation method in step 3 includes method 3.1, dual-material splicing, in which a return arc compensation surface is constructed outside the part area on both sides of the splice along the large deformation trend of the main body of the part. The anti-arc surface is optimized according to the shape of the part and the position of the drawbead is adjusted to form a force trend area opposite to the direction of the part. By expanding the drawbead array, the locking force of different areas is adjusted to ensure that the splice does not deform or the deformation is translated in the same direction. However, the overall translation amount does not exceed 3mm, and the translation can only move in the direction of thicker material. This process requires batch compensation optimization and drawbead position adjustment. The CAE result is selected as the process model after CAE analysis to select the optimal effect.
[0009] Preferably, the anti-material feeding compensation method in step 3 also includes method 3.2. For multi-material splicing, in addition to using the above method, it is also necessary to select a waste area in the middle splicing material area to construct a small convex and concave structure. The shape of this structure is used to stabilize the material feeding, thereby preventing irregularity in the material feeding. The construction mode is to find a waste area near the middle material feeding area that exceeds 3mm and set a convex and concave shape. Its height is set to be preferably pulled back to the original position according to CAE analysis. The offset is controlled within 3mm by pulling back along the shaping point.
[0010] Preferably, the anti-feed compensation method in step 3 further includes: Method 3.3, for parts with complex shape changes and difficult anti-feed pullback, by optimizing the part shape, smoothing the part shape without affecting the part strength and function, and performing deformation optimization according to molding requirements and part matching requirements.
[0011] Preferably, the transition area setting method in step 4 is as follows: a 3mm gap is set from the side with greater thickness to the side with less thickness. The gap in this area is set according to the thickness of the thick material. A gradual gap transition is made from the outside of the 3mm area to the direction of the thin material. The width of the transition area is calculated according to the following formula: the width of the transition area D = (thick material thickness - thin material thickness) * 2.5.
[0012] Preferably, the center surface compensation method in step 5 is as follows: Step 5.1, Center Surface Compensation; Taking the highest point of the part as the center and the middle plane as the area, a gradual bulge is made on the shape of the punch. The center height of the gradual bulge is the maximum bulge height, which is calculated according to the following formula: Maximum bulge height H = material thickness * 0.3 * longest diameter of the central planar area / 500.
[0013] Preferably, the facade compensation method in step 5 is as follows: Step 5.2, facade compensation; facade compensation is performed when the facade angle is above 45 degrees, and the method is to gradually expand the facade area from the bottom of the facade upwards. The expansion amount is the distance from the top of the facade, which is the maximum expansion amount. The maximum expansion amount is calculated as follows: maximum expansion amount L = facade angle % * material thickness * 0.17.
[0014] Preferably, the pressure equipment deflection compensation in step 6 is divided into two stages: process mold surface compensation and debugging simulation compensation, as follows: Step 6.1, Process Die Surface Compensation; This mainly involves calculating the approximate deflection based on the structure of the upper and lower worktables of the equipment and the dimensions of the die. The deflection Ymax1 of the pressure equipment worktable in the manufacturing production line and the deflection Ymax2 of the pressure equipment in the die manufacturing stage are used. Based on the ratio of the deflections of the two pieces of equipment, the maximum height of the die punch's rise or fall is determined. Then, the punch is gradually raised or lowered as a whole, with the center point of the rise or fall being the center point of the die. The selection of the rise or fall and the method for calculating the height are as follows: If Ymax1 > Ymax2, the price rises; conversely, if Ymax1 is lower than Ymax2, the price falls. Height h = Ymax1 / Ymax2 * mold length / 1000 * 0.2 + Ymax1 / Ymax2 * 0.1; Step 6.2: Debugging and simulation compensation. If the punch bulges during debugging, add a shim with a mold length of 30% and a thickness of h in the middle of the punch; if the punch sags, add shims with a width of 15% of the mold length and a thickness of h to both ends of the mold along its length.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. This invention, through the construction of dispersed slip drawbeads, changes the material feeding control mode, transforming it into a uniformly varied feeding method. This solves the problem of difficult slip control in lightweight materials, providing key technical support for the multi-joint mold forming of lightweight materials. 2. Reverse material feeding compensation enables the controllability of the slippage of the seams between multiple splicing materials in complex shapes with different material feeding patterns, thereby ensuring precise control of the slippage. This solves the problem of severe deformation and inability to form high-quality molding when splicing multiple thick materials and multiple materials. It forms a transferable model to innovate the method of multi-splicing molding and realizes high-quality molding of multi-material splicing.
[0016] 3. Unequal gap die surface compensation and pressure equipment deflection compensation solve the uncertainty of results caused by material thinning and die pressure deformation under dynamic conditions. At the same time, deflection compensation solves the problem of re-adjustment or even failure to form caused by differences in pressure equipment. It allows for a calculable early compensation mode for the differences between the pressure equipment in the manufacturing production line and the pressure equipment in the die manufacturing stage. This eliminates the serious problem of machine difference changes occurring after die manufacturing and when the die is put into production, and the serious problem of the die being unable to be used with high precision due to excessive equipment differences.
