[0002] With the continuous development of the automobile industry in modern society, people have higher and higher requirements for the safety, environmental protection, comfort, and intelligence of automobiles. Automobile connectors are a kind of component that electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with. Its function is to build a bridge of communication between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current can flow and the circuit can achieve the predetermined function. There are nearly a hundred types of connectors needed for general automobiles, and there are about hundreds of connectors used for a single model. With the increasing application of automotive electronic products, the number of automotive connector applications will show a geometric growth. For this reason, we designed the molding structure of this project, which can fully meet the customer's requirements for products and meet the needs of the market.
[0003] In the manufacture of automotive connectors, high-hardness materials are used as raw materials for connection.

For example, if the product material is SUS301-EH stainless steel, the hardness is as high as 520HV, and the parts are easy to break. When the product is stamped and sheared, it is easy for the floating material to cause the product to be crushed and deformed. Utility Model Content

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0041] This application provides the following technical solutions:
[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this is the connector structure to be processed in this solution. The connector needs to be processed with SUS301-EH stainless steel with a hardness of up to 520HV. The middle part contains a hollow area, which needs to be processed with a material strip. Finally, the product is removed from the material strip. When the traditional solution is used for stamping, due to the high hardness of the material, floating material is prone to occur, thus affecting the processing quality. Figures 4 to 8 This scheme is a shearing anti-floating structure, including an upper die 1 and a lower die 2. A shearing punch 3 is arranged between the upper die 1 and the lower die 2. Because hard materials are to be sheared, the punch 3 and the corresponding lower die parts of this scheme are made of PM23 material. In addition, this scheme also includes an anti-floating structure 4 for preventing the sheared workpiece from floating. The anti-floating structure 4 is arranged on the lower die insert 41 of the lower die 2. The anti-floating structure 4 is an anti-floating groove 42 arranged corresponding to the position of the waste material 101 on the workpiece to be sheared. The anti-floating groove 42 is arranged at least on both sides of the position of the waste material 101. The lower die insert 41 is made of PM23 material. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the anti-floating groove 42 can allow the sheared waste material 101 to have a reserved burr 102. The burr 102 extends toward both sides of the waste material 101. The distance between the outermost edge of the burr 102 and the outer edge of the waste material 100 is L, and L=0.02 mm is satisfied.
[0043] Through this structure of the present solution, a burr 102 structure is reserved on the side of the sheared waste 101, so that the burr 102 can affect the waste 101 and solve the floating material problem. Because the burr 102 remains on the waste 101, it has no effect on the quality of the product.
[0044] Based on the above scheme, see Figures 4 to 5 The specific structure of the anti-floating groove 42 is as follows:
[0045] The waste material 101 corresponding to the shearing position on the lower die insert 41 is provided with a shearing groove, and the anti-floating groove 42 is provided on the side of the shearing groove; with the moving direction of the punch 3 as the longitudinal direction, the anti-floating groove 42 is provided on both sides of the shearing groove in the transverse direction. Figure 5 The anti-floating groove 42 includes a first groove wall 421 and a second groove wall 422. The first groove wall 421 is attached to the shear groove of the lower mold insert 41. The first groove wall 421 is a vertical surface extending in the longitudinal direction. The second groove wall 422 is a side wall of the anti-floating groove 42 away from the shear groove. The second groove wall 422 is inclined, with its upper end close to the shear groove and its lower end away from the shear groove. The angle between the first groove wall 421 and the second groove wall 422 is a, and a=5°.
[0046] Through the structure of the present solution, the waste material 101 with burrs 102 can be cut, thereby solving the problem of floating material when shearing high-hardness materials and ensuring the processing quality of the product.
[0047] On the basis of the above-mentioned implementation scheme, in addition to the scheme of reserving burrs 102 on the waste material 101, this scheme further adds a drainage structure 5 in the form of airflow. The lower die 2 of this scheme includes a lower die seat 21, a lower die pad 22 and a lower die plate 23 arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and a lower die insert 41 is arranged on the lower die plate 23. The drainage structure 5 is arranged inside the lower die 2, and an air pipe joint 51 is arranged at the end of the drainage structure 5 extending to the outside of the lower die 2, and the drainage structure 5 forms a drainage airflow channel 52 between the lower die 2 and the lower die insert 41.
[0048] The lower end of the anti-floating groove 42 passes through the bottom of the lower mold inlet 41, and the drainage channel 52 extends to the bottom of the lower mold inlet 41. The drainage channel 52 guides the airflow to blow downward below the lower mold inlet 41. Figure 6 As shown, the drainage structure 5 is provided with a downward airflow channel below the lower die insert 41. The airflow channel is a straight channel, and the side drainage channel is an inclined channel near the straight channel. The lower port of the inclined channel is connected to the straight channel, and the upper port is connected to the horizontal channel, and the horizontal channel is connected to the air pipe. Through this structure, the wind of the drainage channel 52 drives the airflow at the lower die insert 41 downward, combined with the downward pressure of the punch 3, so that the airflow at the workpiece 100 moves downward as a whole, thereby preventing the problem of floating material.
[0049] Based on the above implementation scheme, see Figure 9-11 The present invention provides an automotive connector forming mold, which is a continuous mold, including an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. A conveying system for conveying a material strip is arranged between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. A plurality of workstations are arranged between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. The distribution direction of the workstations is the conveying direction of the material strip. The workstations include:
[0050] The knife edge station group includes a plurality of knife edge stations 6 arranged in sequence, which are used to punch and shear the workpieces on the material strip; the knife edge station 6 is provided with the anti-floating structure as mentioned above;
[0051] A bending station group, including a plurality of bending stations 7, for bending the sheared workpiece;
[0052] The adjustment station group includes a plurality of adjustment stations 8 for adjusting the workpiece after bending; the adjustment stations 8 and the bending stations 7 are arranged alternately.
[0053] like Fig. 9 As shown, in the first few processing steps of the material strip, the cutting station 6 is used to cut and shape the workpiece at various positions. After the cutting operation is completed, the bending stations 7 and the adjustment stations 8 are used to stamp and bend the various bent parts of the workpiece, and finally the workpiece is obtained.

Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
