[0032] The forming die of the sheet metal spherical part provided by the present invention is explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the forming die of the sheet metal spherical part provided by the present invention includes: a first lifting bolt 1, an upper template 2, a first hexagon socket screw 3, an upper mold 4, a bolt 5, a nut 6, a hexagon screw 7, a pressure ring 8, a bracket 9, a first cylindrical pin 10, a second cylindrical pin 11, a second hexagon socket screw 12, a lower mold 13, an upper sealing ring 14, a third cylindrical pin 15, a gasket 16, a pressure relief device 17, a sealing gasket 18, a cushion block 19, a nut 20, a drain plug 21, a sealing gasket 22, a lower sealing ring 23, a second lifting bolt 24, a third hexagon socket screw 25, a lower template 26, and a fourth cylindrical pin 27.
[0034] The part blank is installed between the blank holder 8 and the lower die 13, and the part blank is locked and pressed by the nut 6. When the upper die 4 moves downward, the part is slowly pressed against the die under the dual effect of the pressure generated by the liquid in the lower die 13, so as to realize the forming of the hemispherical part. The pressure relief device 17 ensures that the working pressure of the liquid in the cavity of the lower die 13 is 3.5MPa.
[0035] The first lifting bolt 1, the second lifting bolt 24 and the hexagonal screw 7 are standard parts, and they serve as lifting hanging points when the mold is disassembled and assembled.
