Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing and forming technology, and in particular to a method for forming and straightening large-angle end corner pillars. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets (usually less than 6mm), including shearing, punching, bending, welding, riveting, die forming, and surface treatment. Its most significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Sheet metal blanking methods mainly include CNC punching, laser cutting, shearing machines, and die blanking. CNC is currently the most common method, laser cutting is mostly used in the prototyping stage, and die blanking is mostly used for mass production.

[0003] The corner pillars are machined in special locations. After being subjected to stress on the 84mm coaxial surface during machining, they undergo shrinkage deformation, while the 80mm vertical edge warps. Current methods involve adjusting the working pressure through several mold changes to achieve good molding. However, due to the 3mm thickness of the corner pillar material, the molding difficulty increases, and continuing to use previous methods will make it difficult to achieve good molding.

[0004] Currently, the universal sheet metal forming machine (vibrating hammer) does not have mature technology for processing 3mm thick SUS301L-ST grooved parts with an angle greater than 5°. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art and provide a manufacturing method for forming and correcting large-angle end corner pillars.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for manufacturing a large-angle corner column forming and straightening system includes the following steps:

[0008] Select a 130mm elastic shrinkage template, hammer speed of 300 impacts per minute, working pressure not exceeding 24N, and gradually increase the working pressure feed speed during processing. Achieve good forming through multiple cycles of working pressure, and use a template to check the arc change.

[0009] The above technical solution includes the following steps in the method for forming and correcting large-angle corner pillars:

[0010] Step 1: Place the corner post processing area on a ¢130mm shrink forming mold, adjust the working pressure to 15N, and the hammer speed to 300 impacts per minute. The corner post processing surface will deform, the angle will be measured to be 5°, the corner post vertical edge will warp, the bottom surface gap will be no less than 15mm, and the template inspection arc gap will be no less than 20mm.

[0011] Step 2: Place the corner post processing area on the ¢80mm extension mold, adjust the working pressure to 19N, control the working pressure to extend the vertical edge of the corner post, and place the bottom edge on the platform;

[0012] Step 3: Place the corner post on the ¢130mm shrink mold, with a working pressure of 20N. The arc of the corner post will change, and the angle will be measured at 7.5°. The vertical edge of the corner post will warp and deform, and the bottom gap will be no less than 10mm. The arc gap of the template will be no less than 11mm.

[0013] Step 4: Place the corner post processing area on the ¢80mm extension mold, adjust the working pressure to 21N, control the working pressure to extend the vertical edge of the corner post, the corner post will be twisted and deformed, the corner twist is 3.2°, and the bottom surface gap is not less than 4mm;

[0014] Step 5: Use a non-rebound hammer to adjust the deformation of the machining area and release stress;

[0015] Step 6: Place the corner post processing area on the ¢80mm shrink mold, with a working pressure of 24N. The corner post arc changes, the angle is measured to be 8.9°, the corner post vertical edge warps and deforms, the bottom surface gap is not less than 5mm, and the template inspection shows that the arc gap is not less than 1mm.

[0016] Step 7: Place the corner post processing area on the ¢80mm extension mold, adjust the working pressure to 22N, control the working pressure to extend the vertical edge of the corner post, and place the bottom edge on the platform.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the end corner post that meets the requirements is placed on the platform, and the perpendicularity of the vertical edge to the bottom surface is checked with a right angle ruler, and the test result is ≤0.3mm.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the end corner posts that meet the requirements are placed on the platform, and the arc is tested with a template, with a gap of ≤0.2mm.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the end corner post that meets the requirements is placed on the platform, and the flatness of the bottom surface is measured with a feeler gauge to be ≤0.3mm.

[0020] In the above technical solution, before step 1, there is a step: after the material is formed, a notch is opened on one of the shorter planes at the small arc position.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The large-angle end corner pillar forming and straightening manufacturing method of the present invention can achieve good forming for special positions such as end corner pillars, and can play a guiding role in subsequent vehicle processing and production. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the steps in the manufacturing method for forming and correcting large-angle corner pillars according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the large-angle end-corner column forming and correction manufacturing method of the present invention, before CNC laser cutting, opens a notch on one of the shorter planes at the small arc position after the material is formed, to ensure that the vibrating hammer mold does not interfere with the material during forming.

[0027] Select the vibratory hammer forming mold according to the product drawings and materials, and adjust the working pressure. First, select a ¢130mm elastic shrinkage template, with a hammer speed of 300 impacts per minute and a working pressure not exceeding 24N. During processing, the working pressure feed speed should be increased from small to large. After several cycles of working pressure, a good forming condition can be obtained. Use a template to check the arc change.

[0028] The corner post is machined in a special location. After being subjected to stress on the 84mm non-convex surface during machining, it shrinks and deforms. At the same time, the 80mm vertical edge warps. To repair the deformation of the vertical edge, a ¢80 elastic extension template is used for material placement. The working pressure is 21N. The arc change in the deformed area is detected using a template. During the inspection, the corner post has a gap of 2~3mm. After changing the mold, a ¢80 elastic shrinkage template is used for local precise forming. The working pressure is controlled. The special curvature radius arc is measured with a template. The gap is ≤0.2mm. The flatness of the bottom surface is ≤0.3mm when checked with a feeler gauge. The flatness of the bottom surface and the perpendicularity of the vertical edge are ≤0.3mm when checked with a right-angle ruler. The machined corner post meets the requirements of the process drawings.

[0029] The large-angle end-corner column forming and straightening manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0030] Before CNC laser cutting, analyze the drawings and draw the unfolded diagram. After the material is formed, make a notch on the shorter plane of the small arc position to ensure that the vibratory hammer mold does not interfere with the material during the forming process.

[0035] 4. Place the corner post processing area on the ¢80mm extension mold, adjust the working pressure to 21N, control the working pressure to extend the vertical edge of the corner post, the corner post will be twisted and deformed, the corner twist is 3.2°, and the bottom gap is not less than 4mm.

[0036] 5. Adjustment: Use a non-rebound hammer to adjust the deformation of the processing area, and use the hammer spreading method to release stress.

[0037] 6. Finishing: Place the processing area of ​​the corner post on the ¢80mm shrink mold, with a working pressure of 24N. The arc of the corner post changes, and the angle is measured to be 8.9°. At the same time, the vertical edge of the corner post warps and deforms, with a 5mm gap on the bottom surface and a 1mm gap in the arc of the template.

[0038] 7. Placement: Place the processing area of ​​the corner post on the ¢80mm extension mold, adjust the working pressure to 22N, control the working pressure to extend the vertical edge of the corner post, and place the bottom edge on the platform.
