[0032] The technical features of the application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the present application is a kind of threshold part hot forming die lower die structure, including lower die seat 7, top plate 6, ejector pin 11, lower die seat 7 upper end has forming punch 2.Product structure as shown in the figure, wherein 12-1 is product closed area, 12-2 is product open area.

[0034] The upper end surface of the lower die seat 7 is provided with a top plate groove for accommodating the top plate 6, and the forming punch 2 has a product closed area forming part. The top plate groove is matched with the product closed area forming part of the forming punch 2, and the top plate 6 is installed in the top plate groove and moves in the top plate groove.

[0035] The upper end surface of the lower die seat 7 is provided with a top plate groove for accommodating the top plate 6, and the forming punch 2 has a product closed area forming part. The top plate groove is matched with the product closed area forming part of the forming punch 2, and the top plate 6 is installed in the top plate groove and moves in the top plate groove.

[0036] The moving power of the top plate 6 is supplied by the ejection power mechanism. In this embodiment, the ejection power mechanism uses oil cylinder 15 as the power mechanism, and a cavity is built in the lower die seat 7 to install the oil cylinder 15.

[0037] The moving power of the ejector pin 11 is supplied by the ejector pin power mechanism. In this embodiment, the ejector pin power mechanism uses oil cylinder 25 as the power mechanism. A cavity is built in the lower die seat 7 to install the oil cylinder 25.

[0038] One side of the lower die seat 7 is provided with an oil way interface 8, and the oil way interface 8 is connected with a lifting oil way 9 and a back-off oil way 10. The oil cylinder 15 and the oil cylinder 25 are connected with the lifting oil way 9 and the back-off oil way 10, and the piston rod of the oil cylinder 15 and the oil cylinder 25 is provided with the power of lifting and retracting by the lifting oil way 9 and the back-off oil way 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, there is a gap between the top plate 6 and the forming punch 2. A plurality of top plate hollow holes 13 are built on the top plate 6. The top plate 6 moves up and down in the forming punch 2 with the forming frequency, and the detached coating debris enters the gap between the two. Since the top plate 6 adopts a design of multiple hollow holes for accommodating debris, the dust is shaken off when the top plate 6 mechanism is back off and stopped suddenly, achieving the purpose of removing debris and directly avoiding the problem of top plate being pulled and stuck.

[0040] After using the hollow top plate design, the action coordination of the top plate 6 and the ejector pin 11 is good, the ejection force is consistent, the deformation problem caused by inconsistent ejection force of the parts is eliminated, the attitude of the parts after lifting is quite stable, the success rate of mechanical hand grabbing is greatly improved, and the production efficiency is effectively improved.

[0041] The power output end of the ejection power mechanism, i.e. the piston end of the oil cylinder 15, is connected with a top plate base plate 17 through a piston connecting rod 16, and the top plate 6 is fixed on the top plate base plate 17 through a top plate connecting plate 21. The lower die seat 7 is provided with a forming punch base plate 4 below the forming punch 2 and fixed with the lower die seat 7. The forming punch 2 is fixed with the forming punch base plate 4. After the top plate 6 is lifted to the maximum height by the ejection power mechanism, the top plate base plate 17 is attached to the lower end of the forming punch base plate 4.

[0042] The lower end of the ejector pin 11 is attached with an ejector pin fixed plate 14 between the power output end of the ejector pin power mechanism. After the ejector pin 11 is lifted to the maximum height by the ejector pin power mechanism, the ejector pin fixed plate 14 is attached to the lower end of the forming punch base plate 4.

[0043] Due to the large inertia of the ejection mechanism, the above-mentioned limiting design avoids the impact of the piston and reduces the possibility of deformation of the piston rod, thereby improving the service life of the oil cylinder.

[0044] The limiting block 22 is installed on the side of the ejection power mechanism. After the top plate 6 slides in the top plate groove and the ejection end of the top plate 6 is flush with the forming surface of the forming punch 2, the top plate base plate 17 is attached to the top end surface of the limiting block 22.

[0045] The guide column fixed seat 20 is fixed on the side of the ejection power mechanism, and the guide column 19 is installed on the top end of the guide column fixed seat 20. The top plate base plate 17 is provided with a guide hole matched with the guide column 19, and a guide sleeve 18 is sleeved in the guide hole. The guide column 19 is inserted into the guide sleeve 18 and in sliding contact with the guide sleeve 18.

[0046] Due to the complex shape of the parts, the two ends of the top plate are inclined at a small angle due to uneven force, which makes the piston rod of the oil cylinder 15 easily damaged by eccentric force. The guide design is adopted for the movement of the ejection mechanism, and the guide sleeve 18 and the guide column 19 are used to increase the guide control of the ejection mechanism, which greatly reduces the problem of premature failure of the oil cylinder 15 seal.

[0047] After the top plate 6 slides in the top plate groove and the ejection end of the top plate 6 is flush with the forming surface of the forming punch 2, the top plate base plate 17 is attached to the top end surface of the guide column fixed seat 20.

[0048] Due to the large inertia of the ejection mechanism, the ejection mechanism retreat limiting design is adopted, which avoids the direct impact of the piston on the bottom of the oil cylinder. Frequent impact of the piston on the cylinder can easily cause deformation of the piston rod, leakage of the piston seal and a series of problems, thereby improving the service life of the oil cylinder.

[0049] The guide column group two 23 is fixed in the lower die seat 7. The guide column group two 23 of this embodiment has two guide columns two, and the ejector pin fixed plate 14 is provided with two guide column holes matched with the two guide columns two. The two guide columns two pass through the two guide column holes respectively and are in sliding contact with the guide column holes.

[0050] The ejector pins 11 are arranged at least in two, and are arranged at intervals between the product opening area forming part of the forming punch 2.

[0051] The upper end surface of the ejector plate 6 is an ejecting end surface, and the shape of the ejecting end surface of the ejector plate 6 is arranged in cooperation with the surface shape of the product closing area forming part of the forming punch 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the hot blank starts forming until the end, and the action sequence of the oil pressure ejection system is as follows: the ejection mechanism is stationary at the lower limit position to start forming - the ejection mechanism is stationary at the lower limit position after forming is completed, the upper die is opened - the ejection mechanism lifts the product to the upper limit position, the upper die is opened to the specified height - the ejection mechanism falls to the lower limit position, the mechanical hand grabs the product and carries it out of the mold, and enters the next feeding and forming cycle.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , after the hot blank 1 is put into the outer positioning 3 above the lower die seat 7, the upper die starts forming downward, and the ejector plate 6 and the ejector pins 11 are at the lower limit position, flush with the surface of the forming punch 2.

[0054] After forming is completed, the upper die goes up and separates from the lower die, at this time the product 12 side wall tightly holds on the forming punch 2, due to the friction and the effect of product cooling shrinkage, the lifting resistance in the product closing area is much larger than that in the opening area, therefore the design of ejector plate-closing area and ejector pin-opening area is adopted to ensure smooth lifting of the product.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3 , after the upper die is opened to the specified height, the oil way interface 8 switches to the lifting oil way 9 to work, the piston of the oil cylinder 15 is lifted, the piston connecting rod 16, the ejector plate backing plate 17, the ejector plate connecting plate 21 and the ejector plate 6 go up until the ejector plate backing plate 17 reaches the forming punch backing plate 4, that is, the upper limit position. The connection mode of the ejector plate backing plate 17 and the ejector plate connecting plate 21, the ejector plate 6 and the ejector plate connecting plate 21 is all fixed by screws. Similarly, the ejector pin fixing plate 14 and the ejector pin 11 complete the lifting action under the pushing of the oil cylinder piston.

[0056] After the mechanical hand shown in the figure carries out the product out of the mold, the return oil way 10 starts to work, the ejector pin 11 and the ejector plate 6 return under the driving of the oil pressure until the ejector plate backing plate 17 retreats to the guide column fixing seat 20 and the limiting block 22, the ejector plate 6 and the ejector pin 11 are just flush with the surface of the forming punch 2, that is, the lower limit position, waiting for the mechanical hand to put in the new hot blank, and entering the next production cycle.

[0057] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples. Within the scope of the present application, changes, modifications, additions or replacements made by ordinary skilled in the art should all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
