AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the strength level of automotive steel plate exceeds 780MPa, the shear edge sensitivity caused by punching is enhanced, resulting in cracking of the punching edge when the part is flanged, making it difficult to pass. Existing methods such as secondary cutting and adjustment of punching parameters have limited effects.

Method used

A flange forming device for automobile parts including upper mold specific, lower mold specific, flange module and heating bracket are designed. By setting a transversely uniform heating rod in the mold and temperature control is used to ensure uniform temperature of the flange area. At the same time, the cooling spray equipment can be freely moved to meet the needs of diverse shapes.

Benefits of technology

Through uniform heating and cooling treatment, the residual stress and micro-holes in the flange area are effectively weakened, and the temperature difference and hardness difference are reduced, thereby reducing flange rebound, improving forming accuracy, and avoiding cracking problems.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts manufacturing, in particular to an automobile parts flanging forming device capable of eliminating punching and shearing cracking. Background Art

[0002] In the field of automotive steel, when the strength level of automotive steel plates exceeds 780MPa, the shear edge sensitivity increases due to blanking. When the parts are flanging, the blanking edges will crack, making it difficult for the parts to pass the test. This defect has become a technical bottleneck in the industry.

[0003] Currently, the main method to prevent shear edge cracking during stamping is to remove the shear edge through secondary cutting on the production line. However, secondary cutting will reintroduce shear defects, making it difficult to avoid subsequent flange cracking. In addition, the problem of shear cracking can be improved by adjusting the punching and shearing gap, punching speed, etc., but the effect is general.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to stably solve the problem of cracking during flanging of ultra-high-strength steel to eliminate the problem of flanging cracking. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide an automobile parts flanging forming device that eliminates punching and shearing cracking, which can effectively eliminate problems such as subsequent flanging cracking caused by shearing edge defects.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] The present invention proposes a flanging forming device for automobile parts that eliminates punching and shearing cracking, comprising an upper mold body, a lower mold body, a flanging module and a heating support block; the upper mold body is correspondingly arranged above the lower mold body; the flanging module is arranged on the inner side of the upper mold body; the heating support block is arranged at the bottom of the flanging module; a plurality of laterally evenly distributed heating rods are inserted into the lower part of the surface of the opposite side of the upper mold body of the flanging module and the upper part of the surface of the opposite side of the heating support block and the lower mold body.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of heating rods evenly distributed laterally are inserted into the bottom of the inner surface of the upper mold body and the upper portion of the inner surface of the lower mold body.

[0009] Furthermore, the temperature of the heating rods is controlled by thermocouples.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating temperature of the heating rod is 400-500°C.

[0011] Furthermore, the device also includes a cooling spray device; the cooling spray device can move freely.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner edge of the upper surface of the lower mold body is set to be an arc chamfer.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Compared with high-frequency magnetic induction heating, the temperature stability of the present invention is better and easier to control;

[0015] 2. In the present invention, the upper and lower mold body surfaces are heated, and the flanging module and the lower plate surface of the flanging area are also heated, which can ensure that there is no obvious temperature difference and hardness difference near the flanging area or in the thickness direction. Since the residual stress and micro-voids near the flanging area can be weakened, it is more conducive to flanging forming;

[0016] 3. The flexibly movable cooling spray equipment is more conducive to meeting the diversified shape requirements of the flanging area and more effectively reducing the flanging rebound. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
