The plate flanging angles of the above-mentioned plate flanging methods are all within 45°. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem of the present invention is that the existing plate flanging device is difficult to achieve a flanging angle of more than 45°, and the drive coil requires an extremely high voltage to generate the current required for plate flanging, which seriously affects the service life of the drive coil.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems and to provide a plate electromagnetic flanging device based on an L-shaped magnetic field converter. The magnetic field converter is designed with an L-shaped cross-section, and magnetic field converters with different outer diameters and heights are manufactured, thereby achieving the loading of radial electromagnetic force and axial electromagnetic force in different proportions in the flanging area of ​​the plate, reducing the difficulty of flanging the plate, increasing the flanging angle, and reducing the current of the driving coil.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is an electromagnetic flanging device for a plate based on an L-shaped magnetic field converter, comprising a driving coil, a magnetic field converter and a flange clamp, wherein the magnetic field converter comprises a hollow base and a convex ring on the base; the driving coil is arranged below the base of the magnetic field converter, and the forming area of ​​the plate to be flanging is located above the base and outside the convex ring; the flange clamp is used to fix the flange clamping area of ​​the plate to be flanging.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross section of the magnetic field converter is L-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the height of the convex ring of the magnetic field converter is greater than the length of the area to be formed of the sheet metal. Preferably, the magnetic field converter is provided with a slit penetrating the base and the inside and outside of the convex ring.

[0009] Preferably, the angle between the slit of the magnetic field converter and the center line of the magnetic field converter is 0.5°-1.5°.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the base of the magnetic field converter is equal to the outer diameter of the driving coil.

[0011] Preferably, the plate electromagnetic flanging device also includes a pulse power supply, and the drive coil is connected to the pulse power supply via a discharge switch. Preferably, the plate electromagnetic flanging device further comprises a concave die, and the concave die is arranged above the edge pressing area of ​​the plate to be flanging.

[0012] The method of the plate electromagnetic flanging device comprises the following steps: Step 1: According to the sheet forming specification requirements, determine the height of the convex ring of the magnetic field converter, the outer diameter of the base of the magnetic field converter, and the angle between the slit and the center line of the magnetic field converter to make an L-shaped magnetic field converter; Step 2: Use the edge clamp to fix the plate to be flanged, and place the magnetic field converter so that the forming area of ​​the plate to be flanged is located above the base of the magnetic field converter. Step 3: Arrange the drive coil under the base of the magnetic field converter; Step 4: Place the die above the flanged area of ​​the plate to be flanged and fix it; Step 5: Connect the drive coil to the pulse power supply via the discharge switch. Step 6: Control the discharge switch to supply power to the drive coil, generate induced eddy currents in the forming area of ​​the plate to be flanging, make the forming area of ​​the plate to be flanging move toward the die, and use the limiting effect of the die to complete the flanging of the plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: 1) Compared with the existing plate flanging device, the present invention greatly increases the flanging angle of the plate, which can reach a flanging angle of 90°; by designing magnetic field converters with different base outer diameters and convex ring heights, different radial electromagnetic forces and axial electromagnetic forces are loaded in the flanging area of ​​the plate during the plate flanging process, thereby improving the flanging efficiency and forming quality of the plate.

[0014] 2) The magnetic field converter of the present invention is easy to produce and manufacture, which reduces the difficulty of flanging of plate parts and is conducive to the production of flanging plates of various specifications.

[0015] 3) The present invention reduces the current peak value of the drive coil required for plate flanging, thereby extending the service life of the drive coil. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The magnetic field converter is provided with a slit 2.3 that penetrates the base and the inner and outer sides of the convex ring. The cross section of the magnetic field converter is L-shaped. The angle between the slit 2.3 and the center line of the magnetic collector is 1.5°. The height value of the convex ring of the magnetic field converter is h Greater than the length of the plate to be formed l The outer diameter of the base of the magnetic field transformer is equal to the outer diameter of the driving coil.

[0021] The embodiment utilizes the induced eddy currents on the convex ring 2.1 of the magnetic field converter to generate a magnetic field in the plate to be formed area 5.1, thereby increasing the radial electromagnetic force in the plate to be formed area, and utilizes the induced eddy currents on the base 2.2 of the magnetic field converter to generate a magnetic field in the plate to be formed area 5.1, thereby increasing the axial electromagnetic force in the plate to be formed area, thereby improving the efficiency of the plate flanging and increasing the angle of the plate flanging.

[0022] Embodiment 2 The second embodiment adopts the same L-shaped magnetic field converter as the first embodiment.

Figure 2 The driving coil 1 is arranged below the base 2.2 of the magnetic field converter, and the forming area 5.1 of the plate 5 to be flanged is located above the base 2.2 and outside the convex ring 2.1; the driving coil 1 is connected to the pulse power supply via the discharge switch, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown; the edge holder 3 is used to fix the edge holding area 5.2 of the plate to be flanging; the die 4 is arranged above the edge holding area 5.2 of the plate 5 to be flanging.

[0024] In an embodiment, the area to be formed of the plate is placed above the base and outside the convex ring, and the magnetic field generated in the area to be formed of the plate by the induced eddy current on the convex ring of the magnetic field converter is used to increase the radial electromagnetic force in the area to be formed of the plate, and the magnetic field generated in the area to be formed of the plate by the induced eddy current on the base of the magnetic field converter is used to increase the axial electromagnetic force in the area to be formed of the plate, thereby improving the efficiency of flanging the plate and increasing the angle of flanging the plate.

[0025] The plate flanging method of the embodiment comprises the following steps: Step 1: According to the sheet forming specification requirements, determine the height of the convex ring of the magnetic field converter, the outer diameter of the base of the magnetic field converter, and the angle between the slit and the center line of the magnetic field converter to make an L-shaped magnetic field converter; Step 2: Use the edge clamp to fix the plate to be flanged, and place the magnetic field converter so that the forming area of ​​the plate to be flanged is located above the base of the magnetic field converter.
