[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, conventional parts such as spring sheets are widely used in various aspects of the aerospace field, such as aerospace aircraft parts, missile parts, and ship parts. They play a connecting or fastening role. Spring sheets are a special part with different shapes and structures due to their different uses, such as Figure 1 The spring sheet shown is made of T9A carbon steel, with a thickness of only 0.3mm. From the perspective of its structural appearance, it is a star-shaped structure as a whole. It is a special-shaped part with a special structure. Due to its unique shape and high bending forming requirements, it is difficult to process and is a part prone to failure. Therefore, its manufacturing and processing has always been a key link for various production and processing companies. For the bending processing of spring sheets, the commonly used process method is to use a guide column mold for bending, and then use mechanical processing methods to process the expansion port. When using a mold for processing, due to the unique shape of the spring sheet, a special bending processing mold needs to be made. In the case of large processing batches, it is necessary to ensure the unique bending size, which is particularly important for the wear of the mold.

In order to meet the bending forming of spring sheets, a forming mold with a simple structure and easy operation is provided. By using the forming mold, one-time bending forming is performed without the need for subsequent mechanical processing. While meeting the requirements of batch processing, the bending size must be guaranteed and the product quality must be improved to meet the use requirements. Specifically, a bending processing method and a forming mold for a spring sheet are provided.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a bending processing method of a spring sheet, the processing method comprising the following steps: S1. Material preparation: Select the corresponding metal plate according to the size and material specifications of the spring piece to be processed; S2.

Bending: The finished product after burrs are removed is bent by a forming die to form a spring sheet; S5. Demolding and surface treatment: The spring sheet is taken out from the forming mold, and then the spring sheet is corrected by benchwork. After the correction, the spring sheet is subjected to cadmium plating and passivation treatment.

Example 2

[0025] This embodiment provides a bending method for a spring sheet, the method comprising the following steps: S1. Material preparation: Select the corresponding metal plate according to the size and material specifications of the spring piece to be processed; S2. Blanking: Select a blanking die corresponding to the spring sheet to be processed, install it in the punching machine, then place the metal sheet on the punching machine, and use the blanking die to punch the pre-processed metal sheet to obtain a blanking product; S3. Deburring: Use a grinding tool to grind the finished blank to remove the burrs generated by the blanking to prevent product appearance defects during bending; S4. Bending: The finished product after burrs are removed is bent by a forming die to form a spring sheet; S5. Demolding and surface treatment: The spring sheet is taken out from the forming mold, and then the spring sheet is corrected by benchwork. After the correction, the spring sheet is subjected to cadmium plating and passivation treatment. Finally, the surface-treated spring sheet is inspected according to the size requirements of the design drawing. If the spring sheet passes the inspection, it is packaged as required and put into storage, and the finished spring sheet is obtained.

[0026] Furthermore, using the bending processing method described in this embodiment, in the blanking process of step S2, it is required that the metal flow line direction of the pre-processed metal sheet is perpendicular to the bending direction of the blanked finished product or is punched at a 45-degree direction.

[0027] Furthermore, using the bending processing method described in this embodiment, during the bending forming process in step S4, a forming die is used to punch downward along the middle of the blank product so that both sides of the blank product are bent symmetrically toward the forming die, and the spring sheet is formed through one-time bending.

[0028] By adopting the bending processing method of the present invention, the spring sheet product structure obtained by bending once is as follows: Figures 4 to 6 As shown. In the specific application process, through the configured forming mold, the punch 4 is first connected to the power output end of the existing stamping equipment, and the bottom plate 1 is installed on the workbench of the stamping equipment. The finished blank after deburring is placed on the top surface of the die 3, and the stamping equipment is started to drive the punch 4 to move. Since the convex module in the punch 4 forms a forming cavity for the spring sheet between the arc surface segment and the die cavity in the die 3, the spring sheet can be stamped and bent by using the forming cavity. In the stamping and bending process, the spring sheet can be accurately positioned by the positioning pin 6 and the die frame 2, and the guide pin 5 can be used to make the punch 4 move up and down along the guide pin 5 to achieve the closing or separation between the punch 4 and the die 3, so as to ensure the accurate closing between the punch 4 and the die 3, so that the symmetry of the spring sheet meets the requirements, so that the forming mold has good positioning accuracy and constant part size. In addition, since a material removal spring 7 is also configured, the material removal spring 7 can remove the material from the die when the punch 4 is moving upward, which is convenient for operation.

[0029] It can be seen that the bending processing method described in the present invention has been applied in the actual production process, and the processed products have a very good effect. It not only solves the problem of single bending number and low efficiency in the traditional method, but also the spring sheet obtained by bending has good surface quality, good consistency, stable processing and reliable quality, so that the product quality is effectively controlled, the processing efficiency is improved, and the product delivery rate is guaranteed. At the same time, it also overcomes the technical bottleneck of high stamping scrap rate with unique structure.

[0030] To sum up, the processing method and forming mold described in the present invention adopt a bending forming processing method through the forming mold. The process method is simple, the mold positioning is controllable, the product size is good, and the appearance quality is also high, which greatly improves the production efficiency and meets the needs of batch product processing.
