Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of outer panel clamping and flanging, and in particular relates to an outer panel clamping and flanging clamping force calculation method, electronic equipment, a server and a storage medium. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the outer panel clamping and flanging mechanism has been widely used in the industry, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping and flanging do play an obvious role in controlling the rebound of the entire workpiece after flanging, which is widely recognized in the industry. However, there is no reliable conclusion in the industry on how to choose the clamping force of the lower support core. At present, a reference value has been summarized from practical applications, that is, the clamping force of the lower support core is selected according to 30% of the pressure of the upper pressure core. This is only a reference value. In actual mold debugging, the value is sometimes too large and sometimes too small. A large value causes the clamping force to be too tight, causing the flanging to elongate, and the nitrogen cylinder needs to be disassembled; sometimes it is too small, and the debugging process still causes instability and wrinkling, which does not play the role it should play. In this way, the mold needs to be rectified and a nitrogen spring needs to be added. The present invention provides a reliable theoretical basis for the accurate calculation of the clamping force.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.
[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a method for calculating the clamping force of outer plate clamping flange includes the following steps:
[0039] S1. Based on the clamping and flanging mechanism, finite element analysis software is used to simulate and calculate the clamping force parameters of the clamping and flanging;
[0040] S2. Set the clamping force parameters for clamping and flanging;
[0041] S3. Set the clamping force parameters to satisfy the formula;
[0042] S4. Verify that the clamping force parameters satisfy the formula;
[0043] S5. Obtain the final pressure formula of the pressing plate on the outer panel flanging die.
[0044] In step S1, the clamping and flanging mechanism includes an upper mold, a lower mold, a flanging insert, an upper pressing plate and a lower pressing plate. The upper mold and the lower mold are used in combination. The upper pressing plate is installed on the concave surface of the upper mold, a flanging insert is provided on the outer side of the upper pressing plate, and the lower pressing plate is installed on the convex surface of the lower mold.
[0045] To calculate the clamping force, we must first understand the working mechanism of clamping and flanging, that is, why clamping and flanging can reduce springback. As we all know, the springback of outer panels is mainly caused by over-material flanging or under-material flanging. Over-material flanging causes the parts to collapse, while under-material flanging causes the parts to arch up. Especially for over-material flanging, the flanging surface becomes unstable and wrinkled during the flanging process, forming a state similar to a flower skirt. After the flanging is demolded, the compressive stress in the flanging surface causes the stress to release and produce springback. Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the flanging process of the OP30 front door outer panel, which involves flanging all around.
[0046] The principle of controlling springback by clamping flanging is that during the entire flanging process, the flanging is always clamped by the flanging die and the lower support core, and no instability or wrinkling occurs during the process. After the flanging is completed, there is not much residual stress on the flanging surface. Therefore, the springback value of the part after demolding is significantly improved compared to that of ordinary flanging dies.
[0047] Therefore, the key point is how much clamping force should be used to ensure that the material does not become unstable and wrinkle during the flanging process. The stamping die industry has a parameter value when setting the edge clamping force of the drawing die, that is, when 3MPa (megapascal) pressure is applied to each square meter of material (that is, 1 Newton per square millimeter), the material will not become unstable and wrinkle during the drawing process. This application also basically sets this parameter when using finite element analysis software for simulation calculation. This parameter is still applicable to the case of clamping and flanging.
[0048] The present invention provides the following settings:
[0049] Flanging contour length = L (unit: mm);
[0050] Flanging height = B (unit: mm);
[0051] In order to prevent the L*B flange area from becoming unstable and wrinkling, the following conditions must be met:
[0052] Clamping force F = L*B*3 (unit N)
[0053] Let’s do the following verification:
[0054] Assume that the flange length L = 1000mm,
[0055] Usually the outer plate flange height is B = 8mm.
[0056] According to the above formula, the clamping force F = 1000*8*3 = 24000N.
[0057] Then roughly calculate the clamping force based on 30% of the upper pressure plate pressure mentioned above:
[0058] After long-term exploration, the pressure formula of the upper pressing plate of the outer plate flanging die is set:
[0059] P=0.3*flanging force=0.3LTδb,
[0060] L is the flange length, we assume L = 1000mm,
[0061] T is the material thickness, we usually use the outer plate thickness T = 0.7mm;
[0062] δb is the tensile strength of the material, and is selected based on the tensile strength of the general outer panel opening and closing parts material H180YD = 370.
[0063] In this way, the core pressure P=1000*0.7*370*0.3=77700N,
[0064] The estimated clamping force is F=0.3P=0.3*77700=23310N.
[0065] It can be seen that the estimated value of 23310N based on the core pressure is roughly equivalent to the value of 24000N calculated according to the invented formula. The reason why the estimated value is inaccurate in actual application is due to various influencing factors, such as different core pressure and flange force coefficients selected by different mold factories; the estimation based on empirical values ignores the influence of flange height. The invented formula is a theoretical calculation of the actual value to avoid flange instability.
[0066] Therefore, the present invention can accurately calculate the clamping force of the clamping flange, and the calculation formula of the present invention is also applied to the calculation of the clamping force of the clamping flange of all parts including the inner panel, further improving the applicability of the present invention.
[0067] The present invention also proposes an electronic device, comprising a processor and a memory which is communicatively connected to the processor and is used to store executable instructions of the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute the method for calculating the clamping force of the outer panel clamping and flanging.
[0068] The present invention also proposes a server, comprising at least one processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the processor so that the at least one processor executes the method for calculating the clamping force of the outer panel clamping and flanging.
[0069] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to calculate the outer panel clamping and flanging clamping force.
