Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown.

[0020] This application discloses a combined mold for cold heading, trimming, and punching, comprising: The main mold assembly and the punching die assembly are relatively close to each other to achieve edge trimming and punching of the pallet blank 1, so that the edge 4 of the pallet and the rivet hole 3 can be trimmed, punched and upset in one go through the combined mold.

[0021] The main mold assembly includes a main mold housing 16 that provides an installation base. The main mold 14, the main mold spring sleeve 17, and the main mold rear pad 20 are installed inside the main mold housing 16.

[0023] The main mold assembly also includes a spring back pad 28 and a perforated pin back pad 18 installed in the main mold spring sleeve 17. The perforated pin back pad 18 abuts against the main mold back pad 20. The spring back pad 28 is symmetrically provided with stepped holes to accommodate the first perforated ejector pin 15 and the second perforated ejector pin 25. The first perforated ejector pin 15 and the second perforated ejector pin 25 are clamped and fixed in the perforated pin back pad 18 and the spring back pad 28.

[0024] The spring back pad 28 contacts the spring pad 26 through the main mold spring 27. The spring pad 26 can be slidably installed in the main mold spring sleeve 17. The spring pad 26 has symmetrical holes for the first through-hole ejector pin 15 and the second through-hole ejector pin 25 to pass through.

[0025] The main mold core 24 is slidably installed inside the main mold 14. The main mold core 24 is provided with a support plate screw hole 45 to accommodate the support plate screw rod 2 on the support plate screw 30.

[0026] The first perforated ejector pin 15 and the second perforated ejector pin 25 pass through the inner diameter of the main mold spring 27 and the main mold core 24 in sequence; it also includes a main mold ejector rod 29 that can slide through the perforated pin rear pad 18, the spring rear pad 28, the inner diameter of the main mold spring 27, and the main mold core 24 in sequence, and the main mold ejector rod 29 is provided with a step limit at the spring rear pad 28.

[0027] The die assembly includes a die housing 9 providing an installation base and a die back pad 21 detachably and fixedly connected to the die housing 9 via die locking screws 7. A pressure-bearing blanking pad 22 and a die 23 are installed inside the die housing 9. A die guide pin 12 is installed on the inner circumference of the die housing 9, which can only slide and guide the die 23 through a main die positioning pin groove 34 on the outer circumference of the die 23. A blanking die spring 10 is installed inside the pressure-bearing blanking pad 22, which abuts against the die 23. The blanking die spring 10 provides elastic force when the die 23 slides within the die housing 9. The pressure-bearing blanking pad 22 has a blanking cavity 8 corresponding to a first guide hole 35 and a second guide hole 37.

[0028] The die assembly also includes a die core 11 installed in the die 23; the die 23 has a die core hole 36 at its center for the die core 11 to slide; the die 23 has a first guide hole 35 and a second guide hole 37 for the first through ejector pin 15 and the second through ejector pin 25 to pass through, and the die core 11 and the main die core 24 have the same configuration and correspond to each other.

[0029] Application in the production process. (According to...) Figure 3After assembling and adjusting the mold, it is inserted into the mold cavity and locked with the die locking screw 7 and the main mold locking screw 19 respectively. When upsetting the support plate screw 30, the support plate blank 1 is moved to the end face of the die 23. At this time, the die assembly moves to the right, and the end face of the die 23 contacts the support plate blank 1 of the support plate screw 30. Then, the die assembly pushes the support plate screw 2 of the support plate screw 30 towards the main mold. When the support plate screw rod 2 enters the support plate screw hole 45 of the main mold core 24, the support plate blank 1 contacts the end face of the main mold core 11. The die 23 compresses the blanking die spring 10, and the die assembly slowly... Moving to the right, the pallet screw rod 2 is stably pushed into the main mold core 24; continuing forward, the pallet blank 1 contacts the end face of the main mold 14, and the main mold 14 is supported and limited by the main mold spring sleeve 17 and the main mold rear pad 20, preventing displacement and stopping the movement of the pallet blank 1; the punch core 11 pushes the pallet screw 2 to continue moving to the right, and the end face of the punch core 11 forms a shear with the edge of the inner hole of the main mold 14, cutting off the pallet blank 1 and forming the pallet edge 4 of the pallet screw 30; the punch core 11 pushes the pallet screw 2 to continue moving to the right, and the punch core 11, the pallet screw 2, and the pallet edge... The flange 4 enters the cavity of the main mold 14 and contacts the main mold core 24, pushing the main spring pad 26 to the right. At this time, the main mold spring 27 is compressed and contracts. The first and second perforating ejector pins 15 and 25 are blocked by the spring rear pad 28 and the perforating pin rear pad 18 and move into the main mold 14. The first and second perforating ejector pins 15 and 25 punch out symmetrically distributed forming through holes 3 on both sides of the pallet blank 1, completing the trimming and punching. This allows the combined mold of the present application to achieve one-time trimming, punching and upsetting of the pallet screw 30, solving the problem of separate trimming and punching. The process suffers from inefficiency. The main mold assembly and the punch assembly move in opposite directions. The pallet blank 1 falls between the main mold 14 and the punch 23, relieving the pressure on the main mold spring 27. The main mold spring 27 then stretches back to its original shape through its own elastic force, pushing the spring pad 26 and the main mold core 24 to the left, bringing the pallet screw 30 to the front end of the main mold 14. At this time, the main mold ejector rod 29 moves to the left, pushing out the pallet screw 1, completing the entire process of trimming, punching, and upsetting. The waste material from forming the through hole 3 is squeezed together within the first guide hole 35 and the second guide hole 37, and finally discharged from the blanking cavity 8. Repeating this process enables continuous production and meets the requirements of mass production.
