[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0016] (1) By designing multiple molding dies, the molding device has multiple workstations. The raw material blank passes through these workstations in turn and is gradually extended and stretched. The extension direction of the material is more controllable and the molding process is more stable.
[0017] (2) By setting a heating component in each mold body, the parts of the raw material blank that may be deformed are heated, so that the deformed material has better toughness and fluidity, and the force on the material is more easily dispersed during stretching, effectively reducing the probability of cracking during the stretching process.
[0018] (3) By setting a pressure frame structure outside the movable mold, the edge of the raw material blank is pressed tightly. The position of the raw material blank on all four sides before stretching is restricted. The movable mold only directly applies pressure to the part of the raw material blank that can form an oil pan, and the part of the raw material blank that can form an oil pan is restrained by the material on the edge. In this way, the raw material blank can fit the inner wall of the fixed mold more smoothly, reducing the probability of wrinkling during the stretching process.
[0019] (4) A composite double-layer steel sandwich material is made by coating special glue between two steel plates to serve as the raw material blank of the oil pan. The interlayer can effectively hinder the vibration transmission between the steel plates, so that the oil pan made of the raw material blank has better strength and toughness, and can achieve better effects in shock absorption and sound insulation.

For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.
[0053] like Figure 1-4 The double-layer oil pan shown in the figure comprises an inner steel plate 101 and an outer steel plate 103. Both steel plates are usually made of 0.75 mm thick DC06 steel plates. An interlayer 102 is provided between the inner steel plate 101 and the outer steel plate 103 to form a sandwich structure. Although the thickness of the interlayer 102 is obviously thinner than the steel plate, the inner steel plate 101 and the outer steel plate 103 are stably fixed together because the special adhesive material used in the interlayer 102 has a strong adhesion ability. Moreover, the special adhesive has a certain The soft elasticity can effectively absorb vibration and hinder the spread of noise. The special glue also has heat fluidity and can produce obvious adaptive deformation during hot pressing. The inner steel plate 101, the interlayer 102 and the outer steel plate 103 can form the oil pan body 1 under the action of stamping and stretching. The specific structure of the oil pan body 1 includes a bottom plate 104. The bottom plate 104 needs to be provided with an oil drain port for configuring the oil drain bolts, nuts and sealing gaskets. The edge of the bottom plate 104 extends upward to form a side wall 105. The side wall The diameter of the side wall 105 increases monotonically from bottom to top, the edge of the side wall 105 extends outward to form a top plate 107, and the various parts of the top plate 107 are in the same horizontal plane and form a closed structure in the horizontal plane. Most of the bottom plate 104 is parallel to the top plate 107, and the edge of the top plate 107 is bent downward to form a folded edge 108, which can improve the bending resistance of the top plate 107. The side wall 105 of the oil pan body 1 has a reinforcing rib 106, which is used to improve the structural strength of the side wall 105 and make it have higher deformation resistance. In order to make the inner and outer walls of the oil pan smooth and continuous, the reinforcing rib 106 is designed to be arc-shaped, the concave side of the arc is the inner wall of the reinforcing rib 106, and the convex side of the arc is the outer wall of the reinforcing rib 106.

The top plate 107 of the oil pan body 1 is also provided with connecting holes 109 for bolts and other connecting parts to pass through, so as to fix the entire double-layer oil pan and the upper cover structure to form a complete transmission housing.
[0054] like Figure 5-28The forming device of the double-layer oil pan shown in the figure, it should be noted that the flat inner steel plate 101 and the outer steel plate 103 are bonded by the interlayer 102 to form a raw material blank of the same flat shape, which is the object of the forming device. The forming device includes a fixed base 2, and the base 2 is connected to a lifting platform 3 located above through a main pressure cylinder 10, and the lifting platform 3 is parallel to the base 2. The main pressure cylinder 10 adopts a hydraulic cylinder capable of telescopic movement. The telescopic rod and the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic cylinder are fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3 and the base 2 respectively. The hydraulically driven main pressure cylinder 10 can provide strong upward thrust and downward pressure, and the movement process is very smooth and stable. A preheating table 5, a first-order mold 6, a second-order mold 7, a third-order mold 8 and a fourth-order mold 9 are also provided on the base 2, corresponding to the five stations in the forming device. Under normal circumstances, the preheating table 5, the first-order mold 6, the second-order mold 7, the third-order mold 8 and the fourth-order mold 9 are arranged from front to back along a straight line.
[0055] The preheating table 5 is used to heat the raw material blank, so that the steel plate undergoes slight thermal expansion, thereby improving the toughness of the steel plate and improving the flowability of the steel plate material and the characteristic adhesive material of the interlayer 102. The preheating table 5 includes a horizontally placed heating plate 520. A receiving groove 521 is provided on the upper surface of the heating plate 520. The inner bottom surface of the receiving groove 521 is not higher than the upper surface of the raw material blank conveyor belt, and is used to provide initial positioning for the raw material blank flying out of the conveyor belt to enter the forming device. A mounting groove 522 is provided on the bottom surface of the heating plate 520. The inner top surface of the mounting groove 522 is not far from the inner bottom surface of the receiving groove 521. The heating plate 520 is provided with an electric heating plate 13 in the mounting groove 522, and the electric heating effect is used to heat the raw material blank in the receiving groove 521. The bottom surface of the heating plate 520 is also fixedly connected with a heat insulation plate 501, which is used to shield the electric heating plate 13 to reduce the loss of useless heat, which can effectively reduce energy consumption in actual work.
[0056] The first-order mold body 6 includes a pre-pressing fixed mold 610 connected to the base 2, and a first pressing frame 602 fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3. The first pressing frame 602 has a pre-pressing movable mold 620 connected to the lifting platform 3 through an auxiliary pressure cylinder 15. The auxiliary pressure cylinder 15 also adopts a retractable hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3, and the telescopic rod end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the pre-pressing movable mold 620. The hydraulic pressure can apply a strong downward pressure and upward pulling force to the pre-pressing movable mold 620, thereby achieving stable mold closing, stretching and mold separation. The top surface of the pre-pressing fixed mold 610 is provided with a first positioning groove 611. The first pressing frame 602 can press the edge of the raw material blank that is heated up by the heating plate 520 tightly against the first fixed mold. In the positioning groove 611, the inner bottom surface of the first positioning groove 611 is provided with a sunken first folding cavity 612, and the distance between the bottom and side surfaces of the pre-pressing movable mold 620 and the inner wall of the first folding cavity 612 is equal to the thickness of the raw material blank. When the pre-pressing movable mold 620 descends and is molded with the pre-pressing fixed mold 610, the middle part of the raw material blank will be stretched downward to fit the inner wall of the first folding cavity 612. In order to prevent the temperature of the raw material blank from dropping during the deformation process, an upwardly extending configuration cavity 12 is also provided on the bottom surface of the pre-pressing fixed mold 610, and an electric heating ring 14 is arranged in the configuration cavity 12 around the transition between the first positioning groove 611 and the first folding cavity 612, so as to maintain the material toughness and fluidity of the main deformation part of the raw material blank during the first stretching process.
[0057] The second-order die body 7 includes a shallow drawing die 710 connected to the base 2, and a second pressing frame 702 fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3. The second pressing frame 702 has a shallow pressing die 720 connected to the lifting platform 3 through an auxiliary pressure cylinder 15. The top surface of the shallow drawing die 710 is provided with a second positioning groove 711. The second pressing frame 702 is used to press the edge of the raw material blank after being stretched by the first-order die body 6 into the second positioning groove 711. The inner bottom surface of the second positioning groove 711 is provided with a second folding cavity 712. The sinking part of the raw material blank from the first-order die body 6 is just matched with the second folding cavity 712. The inner bottom surface of the second folding cavity 712 is provided with a shallow cavity 713. The shape and size of the bottom surface of the shallow cavity 713 are the same as the shape and size of the bottom surface of the oil pan body 1, and can be directly formed. The bottom plate 104 structure of the oil pan, the spacing between the bottom and side surfaces of the shallow pressing die 720 and the inner wall of the shallow cavity 713 is equal to the thickness of the raw material blank, and the inner wall of the shallow cavity 713 also has a short rib 714. During the process of the shallow pressing die 720 descending and closing with the shallow drawing die 710, the sunken part of the raw material blank can initially form the side wall 105 and the reinforcing rib 106 structure of the oil pan body 1. At this time, the depth of the sunken part of the raw material blank is increased, but it is still less than the depth of the side wall 105 of the finished oil pan. Similarly, in order to avoid the cooling of the raw material blank during the second stretching process, an upwardly extending configuration cavity 12 is also opened on the bottom surface of the shallow drawing die 710, and an electric heating ring 14 surrounding the shallow cavity 713 is arranged in the configuration cavity 12 to maintain the material toughness and fluidity of the main deformation parts of the raw material blank.

In the third positioning groove 811, a deep cavity 813 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the third positioning groove 811. It should be noted that, since the depth of the deep cavity 813 is at least 1.5 times the depth of the shallow cavity 713, the third positioning groove 811 needs to transition to the deep cavity 813 through the oblique groove 812 to release a portion of the edge of the raw material blank that was originally pressed to supplement the material for forming the side wall 105 of the oil pan body 1. The shape and size of the bottom surface of the deep cavity 813 are the same as those of the bottom surface of the shallow cavity 713, but the oblique groove 812 of the inner wall of the deep cavity 813 is The inner wall of the deep cavity 813 has a greater inclination than that of the shallow cavity 713. The greater inclination is to adapt to the deeper bottom of the deep cavity 813. The inner wall of the deep cavity 813 also has a long rib 814, which can perfectly fit the inner wall of the reinforcing rib 106 of the finished side wall 105 of the oil pan. That is to say, the shape and inclination of the inner wall of the deep cavity 813 are exactly the same as the shape and inclination of the side wall 105 of the oil pan body 1. The bottom and side of the deep die 820 are spaced from the oblique groove 812 and the inner wall of the deep cavity 813 by the thickness of the raw material blank. When the deep die 820 descends and the deep drawing After the mold 810 is closed, the raw material blank, except for the part pressed by the third pressure frame 802, the remaining sunken part will be stretched into the same shape and size as the finished bottom plate 104 and side wall 105 of the oil pan. In order to ensure the temperature of the sunken part of the raw material sheet during the last stretching process, the bottom surface of the deep drawing die 810 will also be provided with an upwardly extending configuration cavity 12, and an electric heating ring 14 surrounding the oblique groove 812 and the deep cavity 813 is arranged in the configuration cavity 12, so as to ensure the toughness and fluidity of the sunken part of the raw material blank during the third stretching process.
[0059] The fourth-order die body 9 includes a stamping die base 910 connected to the base 2, and a flat plate 902 connected to the lifting platform 3. The flat plate 902 is covered with a stamping die head 920 connected to the lifting platform 3 through an auxiliary pressure cylinder 15. The stamping die head 920 is a frame plate with an opening in the middle. The inner wall of the stamping die head 920 can perfectly fit with the outer side of the flat plate 902. The stamping die base 910 is fixedly connected to the base 2 through a base 901. The inner wall of the stamping die base 910 has a positioning rib 911 for The inner wall of the reinforcing rib 106 of the sinking part of the raw material blank coming from the third-order die body 8 is matched, thereby constraining the raw material blank after three stretchings.

The connecting hole 109 passes through the corresponding punching hole 913. When the punching die 920 descends to the bottom, the bottom edge of the inner wall of the folding frame 922 cooperates with the top edge of the outer side of the folding platform 912 to hinge the top plate 107 of the semi-finished product to form a folding edge 108, and the portion of the edge of the raw material blank located outside the folding edge 108 is cut off. The base 2 is also provided with a slag discharge port 202 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces. The punched scraps can flow from the slag discharge port 202 to the waste box for centralized recycling and treatment.
[0060] The double-layer oil pan forming device is also equipped with a die-changing mechanism 4 for moving the raw material blank from one station to another. In order to facilitate the operation of the die-changing mechanism 4, the top surfaces of the heating plate 520, the pre-pressing fixed die 610, the shallow drawing die 710 and the deep drawing die 810 are flush. However, since the thickness of the pre-pressing fixed die 610 and the shallow drawing die 710 is different from that of the deep drawing die 810, the pre-pressing fixed die 610 is fixedly connected to the base 2 through the first pressure-bearing seat 601, and the shallow drawing die 710 is fixedly connected to the base 2 through the second pressure-bearing seat 701. The pressure seat is equivalent to a cushion block to compensate for the height difference between the pre-pressing fixed die 610, the shallow drawing die 710 and the deep drawing die 810. The structure 4 includes a pair of movable transport racks 460, and the two transport racks 460 are symmetrically arranged about any one or two adjacent ones of the heating plate 520, the pre-pressing fixed die 610, the shallow drawing die 710 and the deep drawing die 810. Each transport rack 460 has a pair of parallel swing arms 461, and a synchronization plate 462 is fixedly connected between the two swing arms 461 to ensure the consistency of the steps of the two swing arms 461. The sides of the pre-pressing fixed die 610, the shallow drawing die 710 and the deep drawing die 810 are all provided with a clearance groove 11 that connects to the inner cavity and extends to the top surface, which is used for the end of the swing arm 461 to pass over and lift or put down the raw material blank, thereby realizing the movement of the raw material blank from one station to another.
[0061] The die-changing mechanism 4 has a pair of parallel guide rails 404, and the extension direction of the two guide rails 404 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the heating plate 520, the pre-pressing fixed die 610, the shallow drawing die 710 and the deep drawing die 810. A slider 450 is arranged on each guide rail 404, and the main part of the slider 450 is a driving cabin 451. The driving cabin 451 has a sliding channel 452 running through both ends for the guide rail 404 to pass through, and the side of the guide rail 404 is also provided with a straight tooth groove, and a servo motor and a reducer are arranged in the driving cabin 451. The servo motor drives the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is fixedly connected with a gear, which is meshed with the straight tooth groove in the sliding channel 452, and has a high transmission accuracy. Therefore, the servo motor can adjust and control the position of the slider 450 on the guide rail 404, and the top surface of the driving cabin 451 is fixedly connected with a configuration plate 453, one end of the swing arm 461 is rotatably connected to the configuration plate 453, and the other end is provided with a Wear-resistant strip 465 is made of high temperature resistant rubber material and directly contacts with the raw material blank, which can effectively prevent the swing arm 461 from contacting and scratching the raw material blank. A cylinder 407 is also connected between the swing arm 461 and the configuration plate 453 to drive the swing arm 461 to rotate. Specifically, a bite groove 455 is opened on the top of the configuration plate 453. There are two bite grooves 455, corresponding to the number of the swing arm 461. The configuration plate 453 is in the bite groove 455. An optical axis 456 is inserted, and the axes of the two optical axes 456 are collinear. One end of the swing arm 461 has a sleeve 463 for being inserted with the optical axis 456 to form a rotating pair. The side of the configuration plate 453 also has a lower articulated frame 454 for being rotatably connected to the lower end of the cylinder 407. The lower surface of the swing arm 461 also has an upper articulated frame 464 for being rotatably connected to the upper end of the cylinder 407, so that the cylinder 407 can make adaptive deflection when performing telescopic movement.
[0062] The mold changing mechanism 4 also has an electric telescopic rod 401 located below the base 2. Two electric telescopic rods 401 are usually provided. The telescopic rod end of each electric telescopic rod 401 is connected to the base 2, and the storage tube of the electric telescopic rod 401 is fixedly connected to the linkage plate 402. The two ends of the guide rail 404 are fixedly connected to the guide plates 403. The base 2 is provided with a guide hole 201 that passes through the upper and lower surfaces, which is used to cooperate with the guide plate 403 to form a sliding pair. The guide plate 403 passes through the guide hole 201 and is connected to the linkage plate 402, so that the height of the guide rail 404 can be changed. After the horizontal swing arm 461 lifts the raw material blank from the workstation, it rises again driven by the electric telescopic rod 401 and completely leaves the sinking cavity of the workstation, thereby avoiding interference with other components during horizontal transfer of the raw material blank.
[0063] Working principle: Since the first pressing frame 602, the second pressing frame 702, the third pressing frame 802 and the flat plate 902 are all fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3, the five stations of the forming device can work simultaneously. Under the control of the computer, the mold changing mechanism 4 can quickly move the raw material blank on one station to the next adjacent station. The raw material blank located in the first-order mold body 6 is first pressed by the first pressing frame 602, and the pre-pressing movable mold 620 is then moved to stretch the raw material blank for the first time; the raw material blank located in the second-order mold body 7 is also first pressed by the second pressing frame 702, and the shallow pressing mold 720 is then moved to stretch the raw material blank for the second time; the raw material blank located in the third-order mold body 8 is also pressed by the second pressing frame 702, and the shallow pressing mold 720 is then moved to stretch the raw material blank for the second time; the raw material blank located in the third-order mold body 8 is also pressed by the second pressing frame 702, and the shallow pressing mold 720 is then moved to stretch the raw material blank for the second time. It is first pressed by the third pressing frame 802, and then the deep pressing die 820 is moved to stretch the raw material blank for the third time to obtain a semi-finished product of the double-layer oil pan; the semi-finished product located in the fourth-order mold body 9 is first pressed by the flat pressing plate 902, and the top of the semi-finished product is flattened, and then the stamping die head 920 descends to stamp the top plate 107 of the finished product to remove excess material, and bend the edge of the top plate 107 to form a folded edge 108. The thickness of the interlayer 102 at the folded edge 108 is compressed to the extreme, and the inner steel plate 101 and the outer steel plate 103 are closer to each other, realizing the edge sealing function, and after cooling, a double-layer oil pan finished product with smooth stretching, smooth inner and outer walls, and aligned inner and outer steel plates at the edge can be obtained.
