[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a cold heading processing die for a boxcar lock, through which the raw materials are processed and formed at one time by adopting a cold heading processing technology, the production cycle is greatly shortened, and the efficiency is improved.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a cold forging processing die for a boxcar lock, comprising five die groups, which are arranged horizontally and spaced equidistantly in the left and right directions, and are sequentially recorded as a first die group, a second die group, a third die group, a fourth die group and a fifth die group from left to right;
[0005] Each die set includes a bottom die, a punch, and a ejector pin;
[0006] The bottom mold is generally in the shape of a truncated cone, the axis direction of the bottom mold truncated cone is forward and backward, and the bottom surface area of the front side of the truncated cone is small, and the bottom surface area of the rear side is large. A through groove penetrating the truncated cone along the axis direction is provided at the center of the bottom mold, and an ear plate for installing the bottom mold is provided at the rear side of the bottom mold. The ear plate is abutted against the rear side of the bottom mold, and a mounting hole penetrating the ear plate along the forward and backward direction is provided at the part of the ear plate that exceeds the bottom mold in the circumferential direction. A through hole penetrating the ear plate along the forward and backward direction is provided at the middle position of the ear plate corresponding to the through groove, and the size of the through hole is sufficient to cover the notch of the through groove, and a guide cylinder matching the through hole and extending horizontally backward is provided at the rear side of the ear plate corresponding to the through hole;
[0007] The punch is in the shape of a horizontally arranged long strip, with the length direction being front-to-back, and the punches are all located in front of the bottom die and are directly opposite to the bottom die through slot at the corresponding position, and the rear side of the punch is a vertically arranged plane, and the shape and size of the rear side of the punch match the shape and size of the notch of the through slot on the bottom die at the corresponding position, and each punch is provided with a first clamping portion on the front side;
[0008] The ejector rods are in the shape of horizontally arranged long strips, with the length direction being front-to-back, and are all located behind the bottom mold and facing the bottom mold through slots at corresponding positions. The front side of the ejector rods is a vertically arranged plane, and the shape and size of the front side of the ejector rods match the shape and size of the notch of the through slot on the bottom mold at the corresponding position, and a second clamping portion is provided on the rear side of each ejector rod;
[0009] Among them, the bottom die slots of the first die group, the second die group, the third die group, and the fourth die group are all rectangular in shape, the bottom die slot of the fifth die group is square in shape, and a protruding cone head extending horizontally backward is provided in the middle area of the rear side surface of the punch of the fourth die group.
[0010] For the purpose of briefly explaining the problem, the cold heading processing mold for the boxcar lock described in the present utility model is referred to as this mold for short.
[0011] The method of using the mold is as follows: the bottom molds, ejector pins and punches of all mold groups are fixed on three racks respectively, and the position relationship corresponds to each other. The racks corresponding to the ejector pins and punches are connected to a hydraulic system. First, the ejector pin enters the through slot of the bottom mold from the rear side to complete the positioning. Then, the shearing equipment shears the round steel material into a suitable flat sheet. The manipulator loads the material into the through slot of the bottom mold of the first mold group from the front side (enters from the side of the round flat sheet workpiece). Then, the hydraulic system controls the punch to hit the workpiece to complete the first cold heading shaping. After the punch is reset, the hydraulic system controls the ejector pin. Move forward to push the workpiece out of the slot, and the manipulator clamps it and rotates it 90° to continue entering the slot of the bottom die of the second die group. Repeat the above operations to perform cold heading and shaping operations until entering the fourth die group. Since the punch of the fourth die group is provided with a cone head, the hole opening work can be completed while completing the shaping of the workpiece. After four cold heading processes, it has been shaped into a square shape, and finally turned over to enter the slot of the bottom die of the fifth die group (the square flat sheet workpiece enters from the front). After the last cold heading in the fifth die group, the boxcar lock processing is completed.
[0012] Advantages of this mold: Compared with the existing technology, this mold is combined with the cold heading process. The boxcar lock can be processed and formed in one time without two processes, which saves time. Moreover, new material can be fed in synchronously after each mold group discharges the material. That is, each time the frame where the punch is located is working under the control of the hydraulic system, there are workpieces that need to be cold headed in the five mold groups. They are in different processes and can discharge materials continuously, which greatly improves production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
