Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of trimming dies, and in particular relates to a Y-shaped tube side trimming die and a method. Background Art

[0002] The Y-shaped pipe on the exhaust tail pipe is composed of upper and lower pieces welded together, and the gap between the upper and lower pieces is required to be within 0.05mm. The conventional process for the upper and lower pieces is to trim and then flanging. Since there is a difference in the length of the inner and outer surfaces of the product at the R angle, the end face of the product has an angle after flanging, resulting in a gap in the overlap, which can only be repaired by argon arc welding after adding wire. In the actual production process, the Y-shaped pipe products need to be manually added with wire welding. Because the thickness of the overlap position is less than 0.5mm, the welding position is easy to damage, the product quality is poor, and the rework rate is high, resulting in low production efficiency and high production cost.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the excess parts of the ends of the single and double Y-shaped tubes before welding. Summary of the invention
