Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of molds, and in particular relates to a bending and stamping mold for a sunroof guide rail of an automobile. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy, cars are becoming more and more popular and entering every household. Cars have added more functions on the basis of providing convenient travel, such as sunroofs. Open the car sunroof and use its superior negative pressure ventilation principle to filter the air in the car to protect the health of the driver and passengers.

[0003] Existing skylights are all electrically opened, so they need to be matched with guide rails. Due to installation requirements, the guide rails need to be made into an arc shape. Currently, the industry uses manual bending to form the arc of the guide rails, which has low precision. Moreover, the guide rails are hollow structures, which can easily cause the hollow part to be flattened, affecting the installation of the rollers.

[0004] A Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN203936270U discloses a bending stamping die for a car sunroof guide rail, the die comprising an upper die 1, a lower die 2, a punch, and a mounting seat, the mounting seat being provided with an arc-shaped recess, the side surface of the arc-shaped recess being provided with a plurality of grooves matching the shape of the guide rail, the upper surface of the arc-shaped recess being provided with a recess 3 matching the lower end face of the guide rail; the die also comprises a filling strip for preventing the guide rail from being deformed, the size and shape of the filling strip being matched with the hollow cavity of the guide rail; the lower edge of the die bar of the upper die is provided with a positioning groove which is recessed upward and matches the upper end face of the guide rail.

[0005] However, due to the uneven cross-sectional shape of the sunroof guide rail after bending and stamping, the material rebounds unevenly and deforms laterally after stamping, resulting in a deformation gap after the left and right sunroof guide rails are combined. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a bending stamping die for a sunroof guide rail which reduces the risk of deformation.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the bending stamping die of the sunroof guide rail provided by the utility model comprises a guide column, a lower template and an upper template, the sunroof guide rail comprises a mounting portion and a first guide rail portion located on both sides in the width direction; a convex die is arranged on the upper template, and the lower surface of the convex die has an upper forming arc surface; a concave die is arranged on the lower template, and the upper surface of the concave die corresponds to a lower forming arc surface arranged corresponding to the upper forming arc surface, and a receiving cavity for placing the sunroof guide rail can be enclosed between the upper forming arc surface and the lower forming arc surface, and the upper forming arc surface and the lower forming arc surface are both along the receiving cavity The die is provided with a first evacuation groove, the first evacuation groove is located in the accommodating cavity, the first evacuation groove extends along the length direction of the accommodating cavity, the first evacuation groove is used to form the first guide rail portion, the accommodating cavity also has an accommodating portion, the accommodating portion is used to form the mounting portion, the first evacuation groove and the accommodating portion are arranged along the width direction of the accommodating cavity; the upper template and the lower template are connected by a guide column; in the width direction of the accommodating cavity, the upper forming camber surface and the lower forming camber surface are both arranged obliquely from top to bottom along the direction from the first evacuation groove to the accommodating portion.

[0008] As can be seen from the above, due to the uneven force during the bending and stamping of the existing sunroof rails, deformation occurs along the width direction, resulting in deformation gaps near the two ends of the rails after the two rails are combined. The utility model tilts the upper and lower molding arc surfaces of the mold so that the sunroof rail is tilted during bending. During the bending and stamping, the downward punching force is decomposed into a vertical downward punching force and a shaping force in the tilted direction. The shaping force is opposite to the direction of the extension deformation, thereby offsetting the deformation force during the stamping process of the sunroof rail and reducing the risk of deformation of the sunroof rail. When using hard metal, due to its material properties, the track groove is not easy to deform, so when bending and stamping, the upper molding arc surface of the punch and the bottom wall surface of the first give-way groove of the die need to contact the sunroof rail.

[0009] A further solution is that when the sunroof guide rail is bent, the first guide rail portion is located in the first clearance groove and is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the first clearance groove.

[0010] It can be seen from the above that when soft metals such as aluminum or copper are used, in order to prevent the track groove from deforming during the stamping process, the bottom wall surface of the first clearance groove does not contact the sunroof guide rail, thereby avoiding deformation of the track groove.

[0011] A further solution is that a second clearance groove is further provided on the die; in the width direction of the accommodating cavity, the second clearance groove is located on a side of the first clearance groove away from the accommodating portion, and the first clearance groove and the second clearance groove are arranged in parallel. The sunroof guide rail also includes a second guide rail portion located on a side of the first guide rail portion away from the mounting portion, a track groove is formed between the first guide rail portion and the second guide rail portion, and the second clearance groove is used to form the second guide rail portion.

[0012] As can be seen from the above, the design requirements of the sunroof guide rail are met by designing the second clearance groove.

[0013] A further solution is that when the sunroof guide rail is bent, the second guide rail portion is located in the second clearance groove and is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the second clearance groove.

[0014] It can be seen from the above that when soft metals such as aluminum or copper are used, in order to prevent the track groove from deforming during the stamping process, the bottom wall surface of the second clearance groove does not contact the sunroof guide rail, thereby avoiding deformation of the track groove.

[0015] A further solution is that a first elastic block extending along the length direction is provided on the die, the first elastic block is located between the first clearance groove and the accommodating portion, and the first part of the lower molding arc surface is located on the upper surface of the first elastic block.

[0016] It can be seen from the above that the first elastic block can effectively increase the contact area with the sunroof guide rail during the stamping process, so that the linear force is changed to surface force, and the bending curvature is smoother.

[0017] A further solution is that the mounting portion is L-shaped; the receiving portion is recessed downward from the upper surface of the die, and the second portion of the lower molding arc surface is located on the bottom surface of the receiving portion.

[0018] It can be seen from the above that the designed molding groove can meet the installation requirements of the skylight guide rail.

[0019] A further solution is that the upper surface of the first elastic block also includes a first bending surface, which is in contact with the side wall of the mounting portion; and / or the upper surface of the first elastic block also includes a second bending surface, which is in contact with the side wall of the first guide rail portion.

[0020] It can be seen from the above that the provision of the first bending surface and the second bending surface can enhance the designability of the sunroof guide rail, providing more possibilities for improving its performance.

[0021] A further solution is that a second elastic block extending along the length direction is provided on the die, the second elastic block is located between the first clearance groove and the second clearance groove, and the third part of the lower molding arc surface is located on the upper surface of the second elastic block.

[0022] It can be seen from the above that the second elastic block can effectively increase the contact area with the sunroof guide rail during the stamping process, so that the linear force is changed to surface force, and the bending curvature is smoother.

[0023] A further solution is that a buffer rubber block is provided on the male mold, a part of the upper molding arc surface is located on the lower surface of the buffer rubber block, and the buffer rubber block can extend into the molding groove and abut against the mounting portion of the sunroof guide rail.

[0024] It can be seen from the above that the buffer rubber block can effectively prevent the sunroof guide rail from being crushed during the stamping process.

[0025] A further solution is that the inclination angles of the upper forming camber surface and the lower forming camber surface are in the range of 5° to 15°.

[0026] In summary, it can be seen that the bending stamping die of the sunroof guide rail of the utility model can effectively reduce the risk of deformation of the sunroof guide rail during the stamping process, while greatly improving the quality of the bending and forming of the sunroof guide rail.
