[0064] The input process digital model in step S1, wherein the process digital model includes defining process profile, parting line, bevel line, gravity line, machine tool ejector, blank line, concave mold profile, convex mold surface and blank holder profile.

[0065] It should be noted that the process digital model contains a large amount of model parameter information, which is used to define and describe each link in the manufacturing process, including process surfaces, parting lines, bevel lines, gravity lines, machine tool ejectors, blank lines, concave mold surfaces, convex model surfaces and blank holder surfaces, etc., which together constitute the basis of mold design and manufacturing.

[0066] Among them, the process profile refers to the specific shape or structure required in the product manufacturing process, which determines the appearance and function of the product; the parting line is the boundary where the mold is separated during the manufacturing process, which is crucial to the smooth demoulding of the product and the maintenance of the mold; the bevel line mainly appears in certain parts of the mold to meet specific process or production requirements; the gravity line is used to describe the direction in which the product or mold is acted upon by gravity during the manufacturing process, which is conducive to predicting and solving possible deformations or defects; the machine tool ejector is used to eject the product when the mold is opened to ensure that the product can be smoothly removed from the mold; the blank line describes the shape and size of the original material before it is processed into a product, providing a basis for subsequent processing steps; the concave mold surface, convex mold surface and pressure ring surface are important components of the mold, which together determine the final shape and quality of the product; when importing the process digital model, the accuracy and completeness of this information must be ensured to ensure the smooth progress of the entire manufacturing process.

[0067] In this embodiment, the overall framework of the automobile cover drawing die generation design is constructed based on the UX11 three-dimensional software development software platform. It can be understood that it is not limited to the UX11 three-dimensional software, and SolidWorks three-dimensional drawing software or AutoCAD three-dimensional drawing software can also be used.

[0068] S2, constructing a planning form, in which the information and constraints of each component of the drawing die to be generated are set;

[0069] Among them, the drawing die includes a punch, a die and a pressure ring component; the planning form includes a system planning table and a layout planning table, the system planning table includes the structural form of the punch to be generated, the main structure information, the installation component information, the guide plate component information, the positioning component information and the lifting component information; the layout planning table includes the layout constraints of each component of the mold to be generated.

[0074] The lifting component information includes the lifting structure information, lifting cast-in bolt component manufacturers, lifting threaded hole component manufacturers, CH standard parts manufacturers and specifications, and half-moon positioning standard parts manufacturers and specifications.

[0075] It should be noted that by constructing a planning form, the model parameters of the drawing die are written into the form, and the general model generates the model of the drawing die according to the written form parameters. This part can design and manufacture the drawing die in a more systematic and standardized parameterized manner, which is convenient for adjusting the corresponding structural parameters from the planning form in the later stage, thereby effectively improving the quality and efficiency of the mold.

[0076] S3, pre-processing the process digital model according to the planning form to generate a three-dimensional structural model of the automobile panel drawing die;

[0077] Wherein, step S3 includes the following sub-steps:

[0078] S31, for the main body design of the punch, according to the main structure information in the planning form and the corresponding constraints, the mold surface wall, the follow-up ribs, the auxiliary ribs and the characteristic ribs of the punch are constructed;

[0079] Step S31 includes the following sub-steps:

[0080] S311, obtaining the profile wall thickness information and corresponding constraint conditions in the planning form, constructing the profile wall of the punch, calculating the minimum height of each component, and selecting a die structure that can match the punch according to the minimum height of the punch;

[0081] S312, determining the features of the punch's conformal rib and cutting edge according to the parting line, obtaining conformal rib thickness information and corresponding constraint conditions in the planning form, and constructing the conformal rib of the punch;

[0082] S313, obtaining characteristic rib information in the planning form, determining whether characteristic rib thickness information is selected or input, if yes, obtaining characteristic rib thickness information and corresponding constraint conditions, constructing characteristic ribs of the punch, reinforcing the free ribs and characteristic ribs, and avoiding the auxiliary ribs, if no, proceeding to step S314;

[0083] S314, obtaining the auxiliary reinforcement thickness information and corresponding constraint conditions in the planning form, and constructing the auxiliary reinforcement of the punch.

[0084] It should be noted that key information such as the wall thickness, follow-type rib thickness, characteristic rib thickness, and auxiliary rib thickness in the planning form is obtained, and each part of the punch is constructed based on this information. At the same time, in the process of constructing the punch, the follow-type rib, characteristic rib, and auxiliary rib need to be reinforced and avoided to ensure the overall strength and stability of the mold;

[0085] S32, designing the profile standard parts of the punch, obtaining the positioning component information and the corresponding constraint conditions in the planning form, and positioning and arranging the positions of the inner key, the outer key and the mushroom pin, wherein the constraints for the positioning and arranging of the positions of the inner key, the outer key and the mushroom pin are the same;

[0086] Wherein, step S32 includes the following sub-steps:

[0087] S321, obtaining the number of internal keys in the planning form, if the number of internal keys is 0, then directly end and execute step S33; if the number of internal keys is 3, then execute step S322; if the number of internal keys is 4, then directly execute step S323;

[0088] S322, according to the parting line of the punch, obtain the punch parting line containing box, and obtain the transverse length L X and the longitudinal length L Y ; If L X ≥L Y, two inner keys are arranged in the transverse direction and one inner key is arranged in the longitudinal direction, wherein the inner key in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the side far from the center position of the punch housing box, and step S324 is executed; otherwise, one inner key is arranged in the transverse direction and two inner keys are arranged in the longitudinal direction, wherein the inner key in the transverse direction is arranged on the side far from the center position of the punch housing box, and step S324 is executed;

[0089] The punch parting line containment box is a rectangle formed by the four vertices of the punch parting line, and the length of the rectangle is L. X , the width of the rectangle is L Y ;

[0090] It should be noted that when the number of internal keys is 3, compare the transverse length and longitudinal length of the punch parting line containing box. When the transverse length of the punch parting line containing box is greater than the longitudinal length of the punch parting line containing box, two internal keys are arranged in the transverse direction and one internal key is arranged in the longitudinal direction, wherein the one internal key arranged in the longitudinal direction is preferentially placed on the side far from the center position of the punch parting line containing box. On the contrary, when the transverse length of the punch parting line containing box is less than the longitudinal length of the punch parting line containing box, one internal key is arranged in the transverse direction and two internal keys are arranged in the longitudinal direction, wherein the transverse direction is preferentially placed on the side far from the center position of the punch parting line containing box.

[0091] S323, arrange two inner keys in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and execute step S324;

[0092] S324, determine the vertical position of the inner key, arrange the inner key at the center line of the punch, the intersection of the center line of the inner key and the parting line of the component is the starting position of the inner key, the other end faces the origin of the coordinate system, and the inner key is always parallel to the coordinate axis, the inner keys on both sides of the same orientation are on the same straight line, and the vertical direction of the inner key is on both sides of the punch installation surface;

[0093] It should be noted that the inner key is on both sides of the punch mounting surface in the vertical direction, that is, the punch mounting surface divides the inner key into equal parts up and down. It can be understood that, assuming the height of the inner key is H, when the inner key is installed into the punch in the vertical direction, the extended length is the same as the length reserved on the outside, which is 1 / 2H, ensuring the balanced installation of the inner key in the punch, making the lengths on both sides equal, which helps to maintain the stability and symmetry of the structure.

[0094] S325, determining the plane position of the positioning inner key, wherein it is determined whether the push rod is on the coordinate axis. If so, the inner key is placed at a position 75 mm away from the coordinate axis. If not, the center line of the inner key is placed on the coordinate axis and avoids the position of the mounting assembly. The standard part on the mounting assembly cannot exist in the same axial direction as the inner key. If so, the inner key is placed at a position 75 mm away from the coordinate axis.

[0095] It should be noted that the position of the push rod should be checked first. If the push rod is on the coordinate axis, in order to avoid interference, the inner key should be placed 75 mm away from the coordinate axis. If the push rod is not on the coordinate axis, the center line of the inner key is on the coordinate axis. No matter how the push rod is arranged, the installation of the inner key should avoid the position of other mounting components to ensure that the installation of the inner key will not conflict with other standard parts on the mounting component. If the inner key conflicts with standard parts on the mounting component, the inner key should be placed 75 mm away from the coordinate axis.

[0096] S326, output the internal key position positioning coordinates.

[0097] It should be noted that after the vertical and planar positions of the inner key are determined, the specific position coordinates of the inner key can be output to guide the installation and positioning of the inner key.

[0099] S34, obtain the punch structure form, the punch structure form includes integral design and split design. If it is judged to be an integral design, the three-dimensional model structure of the punch is output. If it is a split design, the information of the punch installation component, lifting component and positioning component in the planning form and the corresponding constraints are obtained, the installation component, lifting component and positioning component of the punch are positioned and laid out, and the three-dimensional model structure of the punch is output.

[0100] In this embodiment, the positioning layout method of the guide plate assembly, the mounting assembly and the lifting assembly of the punch is the same as that of the positioning assembly, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0101] Step S3 also includes generating the structure of the blank holder, which includes the following sub-steps:

[0102] S35, the planning form also includes the push rod leg assembly information of the blank holder, the balance block assembly information, the positioning plate assembly information, the anti-side assembly information, the fender profile information, the lifting lug information, the blank holder guide assembly information, the travel limit assembly information, the lifting and flipping assembly information, the pier dead block assembly information and the rib plate information;

[0103] Constrain the outer contour line of the blank holder ring according to the information of the push rod leg assembly, the balance block assembly, the positioning plate assembly, the side protection assembly, the fender profile information, and the lifting lug information in the planning form;

[0104] Specifically, according to the information of the mandrel leg assembly and the balancing weight assembly in the planning form and the corresponding constraints, the mandrel leg assembly and the balancing weight assembly are constructed and positioned and laid out;

[0105] Judge whether the die structure form in the planning form is box type and the foundry lug information.

[0129] Specifically, arranging the outer guide plate includes the following steps:

[0130] The guide plate length is determined according to the blank holder stroke. If the blank holder stroke is <100mm, the guide plate length is configured to 100mm.

If the blank holder stroke is ≥150mm, the guide plate length is configured to 150mm, and the thickness of the guide plate is configured to 20mm in each interval. Then determine the guide form. If it is a four-corner guide, the process ends. If it is a four-sided guide, the number of side guides is determined according to the outer contour length of the blank holder. If the outer contour length of the blank holder is <500, the number of side guides is determined to be 1. If it is 500≤blank holder stroke If the outer contour length is <2000, the number of side guide plates is determined to be 2. If the outer contour length of the pressure ring is >2000, the number of side guide plates is determined to be 3. Then the width of the guide plates is determined, and the following constraints should be met: the total width of the single-sided guide plates is greater than 15% to 25% of the outer contour length of the pressure ring on that side, and each guide plate has the same width; when the maximum number and maximum width cannot meet this requirement, the guide plate with the maximum width is called and a prompt is displayed that "the guide plate with the maximum width has been called, but the requirement of ≥15% is still not met"; the guide plate specifications are determined, and the standard guide plate of appropriate width is determined according to the number, length and thickness of the single-sided guide plates, the guide plate layout position is determined, and the guide plate assembly is generated.

[0135] Placement angle: The front and rear guide plates in the feeding direction are always parallel to the X-axis, and the left and right guide plates in the feeding direction are always parallel to the Y-axis; the guide plate baffle faces upward.

[0136] It should be noted that the maximum contour of the blank holder body is constrained by the push rod legs, balance blocks, positioning plates, side-protection components and / or lifting ears that affect the position of the blank holder profile; then the blank holder body is generated according to the maximum contour of the blank holder body, wherein, since each component jointly constrains the maximum contour of the blank holder body, this helps to ensure the accuracy of the blank holder during the manufacturing process. The synergy of each component can reduce manufacturing errors and improve the accuracy of the mold, thereby ensuring the accuracy and quality of the final product, and the blank holder is planned and constructed based on the punch, and the corresponding size can be accurately determined to reduce the mold manufacturing cost.
