Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal cold forging forming die and process, in particular to a composite forging forming process and die of an integrated 90-degree joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] The integrated 90-degree joint of the high-load large-current new energy storage connector is a copper piece, and its structure is shown in Figure 11 The joint mainly comprises a plug-in end, a connecting bridge and a wire harness end, the plug-in end and the wire harness end are provided with inner holes, the length of the wire harness end is longer than that of the plug-in end, the wire harness end is connected with a conductive copper wire, and the conductive copper wire is connected after being pressed into the inner hole of the wire harness end; the inner hole of the plug-in end is connected with the joint at the other end, and since the plug-in end needs to be disassembled, an annular spring buckle is placed in the inner hole groove for fixation.

[0003] The existing processing of the integrated 90-degree joint mainly adopts two schemes:

[0004] Scheme one: after a rectangular cuboid forging piece is simply forged, the whole surface is milled to form, and then the inner holes at two ends are machined, but since the 90-degree joint is made of pure copper, the material volume required for the whole milling is large, the material required for a single piece is much, copper is a precious metal, the material waste is large, the milling needs a long time, and the processing efficiency is not high, and the production efficiency of this method cannot meet the demand of the market for the quantity of the part;

[0005] Scheme two: after one end of a pipe is flattened, the connecting bridge part is formed first, the large hole of the connecting bridge is machined, the plug-in end part of the rod is machined, the plug-in end part of the rod is pressed into the inner hole of the connecting bridge, and then the two parts are welded to form, and then the inner holes at two ends are machined, mainly to ensure that the perpendicularity of the two holes is within 0.05mm and the height difference error of the end face of the plug-in end to the hole axis of the wire harness end needs to be controlled within ±0.1mm; since the workpiece needs to be electroplated after milling, acid is easy to enter the gap during the acid washing process of electroplating, and after water washing, acid still remains in the gap, there is a risk of acid spitting after electroplating, and there is a risk of welding separation in the process of pressing and welding, and in the case of large current, the pressing joint part will be seriously heated.
