However, due to objective factors such as the large area of ​​battery pack covers, diverse designs, and high sheet stiffness, defects such as large springback often occur during the stamping process.

[0003] In order to quickly predict the springback amount of the battery pack cover, finite element software is usually used to simulate the formability and springback state of the battery pack cover, and the final springback amount is obtained by calculating the clamping springback results of the battery pack cover.

[0004] In 201610367405.8, a method for evaluating the rebound of automobile covers was provided, which can measure the rebound result after excluding gravity, but the measurement result is the free rebound result of the cover, which is inconsistent with the state that the bolt hole boundary of the cover is constrained after installation. Due to the large free surface and high material stiffness of the battery pack cover, the free rebound of the battery pack cover is large after the entire stamping process, and there is a large difference between the free rebound result and the rebound result after the final battery pack cover is installed.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a method that can predict the rebound amount of the battery pack cover after it is installed on the battery pack box. Summary of the invention

[0051] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of the method for predicting the springback of a battery pack stamping cover installation provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for predicting the installation rebound of a stamped cover of a battery pack, which is applied to new energy vehicles.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1. Obtain the geometric model and material parameters of the battery pack cover.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, a truly designed geometric model of the battery pack cover is imported into the sheet metal stamping CAE simulation software according to the conventional sheet metal forming analysis routine process.

[0057] In addition, by testing the performance of the battery pack cover material, the yield strength, tensile strength, sheet elongation, n value, r0, r45° value, and r90° value parameters of the battery pack cover are obtained, and the material model file of the battery pack cover is constructed.

[0058] S2. Perform finite element meshing on the geometric model of the battery pack cover and determine the stamping direction.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the geometric model of the battery pack cover product is divided into finite element meshes and the stamping direction is adjusted according to the conventional process of traditional sheet metal forming analysis.

[0060] S3. Perform geometric processing on the geometric model of the battery pack cover to generate the model and curves required for the full process simulation.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to obtain the model required for the full process flow simulation, the geometric model of the cover product can be filled with holes, flanging expanded and the outer contour extended, and the models required for the drawing process, trimming process, flanging process and punching process can be established in sequence.

[0062] Specifically, step S3 in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0063] S31. Fill the bolt holes and positioning holes of the geometric model of the battery pack cover product to obtain a hole-filling geometric model.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, bolt holes and positioning holes with diameters within a specified diameter range in a geometric model of a battery pack cover product are identified, and the bolt holes and positioning holes within the specified diameter range are filled.

[0065] S32, unfolding the flange of the geometric model of the battery pack cover product to obtain a flange unfolded geometric model.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the fillet areas and flange areas in the geometric model of the battery pack cover product are identified, and these fillet areas and flange areas are flanged 90 degrees.

[0067] S33. Extend the outer contour line of the geometric model of the battery pack cover product, create a product extension surface, and obtain an extended surface geometric model.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the outer contour lines of the geometric model of the battery pack cover product are identified, and extended surfaces are created for the identified outer contour lines to obtain an extended surface geometric model.

[0069] The outer contour line can be the boundary line of the geometric model of the battery pack cover product, a section line, or other lines that define the shape of the product.

[0070] When creating an extension surface, you need to specify parameters such as the contour line, extension direction, and extension distance.

[0071] After the extension surface is created, adjust the curvature, direction, size and other parameters of the extension surface according to the actual situation to ensure that the shape of the extension surface is smoothly connected to the outer contour line.

[0072] S34, exporting the geometric model and curves created in steps S31 to S33.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the geometric model of step S31 is extracted as the model required for the flanging process, the flanging unfolding geometric model of step S32 is extracted as the model required for the trimming process and the model required for the punching process, the outer contour line of the geometric model of the cover product in step S33 is extracted as the trimming curve, and the extended surface geometric model created for the outer contour line extension surface in step S33 is extracted as the model required for the drawing process.

[0074] S4. Plan simulation process plans and identify cover features based on actual production line processes.

[0075] The actual production line process includes: drawing process, trimming process, flanging process and punching process. In the embodiment of the present application, the actual drawing process, trimming process, flanging process and punching process are described. In the stamping forming CAE software, the read battery pack cover geometric model is feature detected to complete the identification of stamping features, trimming features, flanging features and punching features.

[0076] The simulation process scheme planned according to the actual production line process includes: adding a free springback simulation process after the drawing process; performing the positioning and gravity process before the trimming process, and adding a free springback simulation process after the trimming process; performing the positioning and gravity process before the flanging process, and adding a free springback simulation process after the flanging process; performing the positioning and gravity process before the punching process.

[0077] S5. Determine the stamping sheet size of the battery pack cover according to the outer contour dimensions of the stamping model and the trimming model to obtain a preset sheet.

[0078] In actual production, the size of the stamping sheet must accurately match the requirements of the stamping die and the trimming die to ensure that the battery pack cover that meets the design standards can be obtained after the stamping and trimming processes. In the stamping process, it is first necessary to produce a stamping model and a trimming model according to the design requirements of the battery pack cover product. The stamping model and the trimming model define the final shape and size of the battery pack cover product. Then, according to the outer contour dimensions of the stamping model and the trimming model, determine the size of the required stamping sheet, and trim or cut it; the trimmed or cut sheet is the preset sheet required for stamping, which is the basic material for stamping processing.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, a rectangular stamping sheet is established with reference to the outer contours of the stamping model and the trimming model of the battery pack cover product, and the contour line of the obtained rectangular stamping sheet is located inside the extended surface contour line of the extended surface geometric model obtained in S33.

[0080] S6. Establish production line molds based on the models and curves required for full process simulation.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the model and curve required for the full process flow simulation generated in step S3 are called to complete the production line mold establishment, and Coulomb friction is applied to the production line. Specifically, step S6 includes:

[0082] S61, establishing the die for the drawing process, using the extended surface geometric model established in step S33 and the stamping features identified in step S4 to respectively generate the punch die, die die and blank holder die required in the drawing process.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, a free springback process is added after the drawing process is completed, and a die scaling coefficient is applied to the die of the drawing process. The die scaling coefficient calculation formula is:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, F S is the elastic scaling factor, σ b is the yield strength of the material, and E is the Young's modulus.

[0086] In the drawing process, due to the large flow and deformation of the material in the die, the friction between the die and the workpiece has a particularly significant impact on the forming quality. Therefore, adding a free springback process after the drawing process and applying a die scaling factor to the die is to compensate for the material springback and deformation caused by factors such as friction.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the concave die mold required in the drawing process adopts the extension surface geometry model established in step S33, the punch mold required in the drawing process adopts the convex part of the extension surface geometry model established in step S33, and the pressure ring mold required in the drawing process adopts the extension surface geometry model with the convex part removed in step S33.

[0088] S62, the trimming process mold is established, and the flanging unfolding geometric model established in step S32, the trimming curve extracted in step S34, and the stamping features identified in step S4 are used to generate the core mold, the punch mold and the trimming mold in the trimming process respectively.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, positioning and gravity processes are performed before the trimming process begins, and a free rebound process is added after the trimming process ends. The trimming process pressing core and punch use step S32 to establish a flanging unfolding geometric model, and the trimming process trimming curve uses the trimming curve extracted in step S34.

[0090] S63, the flanging process mold is established, and the hole filling geometric model established in step S31 is used to generate the pressing core mold and the punch mold in the flanging process respectively, and the flanging feature identified in step S4 is used to generate the flanging mold.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, a positioning and gravity process is performed before the flanging process begins, and a free rebound process is added after the flanging process ends. The pressing core mold and the punch mold in the flanging process use the hole filling geometry model established in step S31, and the flanging process forming block uses the forming block model established after the flanging features are identified in step S4.

[0092] S64, punching process mold is established.

[0093] The punching features identified in step S4 are used to generate the core die, the punch die and the punching die in the punching process respectively.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning and gravity processes are performed before the punching process begins, and the pressing core, the punch and the punching die of the flanging process are generated after the punching features are identified in step S4.

The above drawbead parameters can be determined by referring to the existing experience values ​​or design specifications in the industry. These experience values ​​or specifications are usually based on a large amount of practical experience and data analysis and have high reliability.

[0099] Among them, the offset distance d1 between the drawbead and the contour line after the flange is expanded is determined according to the specific shape and size of the stamping part and the material flow requirements. It should ensure that the drawbead can effectively control the flow direction and speed of the material to avoid defects such as wrinkling and rupture.

[0100] The drawbead cross-sectional height h1 determines the resistance of the drawbead to the material flow. The selection of its value should comprehensively consider factors such as the material's forming properties, stamping process requirements, and mold processing costs.

[0101] The design of the drawbead radius r1 and the fillet radius r2 should be conducive to reducing stress concentration and wear and improving the life of the die. The selection of these two values ​​is usually based on empirical values ​​and simulation analysis results.

[0102] The rib cross-section radius r3 and inner radius r4 of the die: These parameters should be designed to ensure that the rib can effectively contact the material and transmit pressure during the stamping process while avoiding excessive damage to the material.

The limit %FLC, acceptable thinning rate, critical safety %FLC, required thinning rate and acceptable thickening are changed according to the sheet material type to evaluate whether the product requirements are met.

[0109] The thinning rate assessment and the maximum comprehensive failure assessment are jointly assessed.
