Abstract
Description
Technical Field

Background Art
[0002] The requirements for the small corrugation forming mold of the stainless steel corrugated plate for liquefied natural gas storage tanks are very high. Since the large corrugations have been formed, nodules need to be formed at the intersection of the small corrugations and the large corrugations at the same time. The stainless steel corrugated plate is used to store liquefied natural gas. The operating environment temperature is -160℃. The thinning rate of the part material after stamping is less than 1%. There are no scratches and forming marks on the surface of the part after forming. After the stainless steel plate is deformed by the mold, the thickness of the 1.2mm thick precision stainless steel plate at the thinnest point is required to be >1.14mm. The surface of the plate is covered with plastic film during stamping. After stamping, not only is the surface of the stainless steel plate required to be free of scratches and strains, but also The film must be free of damage to meet the requirements. The mold currently used to complete this task is divided into three parts: a punch that moves up and down, a left die that moves left and right, and a right die. The mold movement is mainly controlled by a hydraulic servo system to achieve small corrugation forming. However, in the traditional forming process, there are problems such as thinning rate, scratches, forming marks and local damage to the film. To solve these problems, the movement of the left and right dies is more accurately controlled, and a gear rack mechanism is used to assist the hydraulic servo system to improve the movement accuracy of the left and right dies. A synchronous adjustment mechanism for a liquefied natural gas tank stainless steel corrugated plate forming mold is proposed to improve the quality of small corrugations. Summary of the invention
