Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of forming plate-type metal parts, in particular to an ultra-low temperature plate forming device. Background Art

[0002] Metal plate parts are one of the most common parts in industry, and most of them are formed by room temperature or high temperature stamping deformation. However, for some sheet forming parts with poor room temperature plastic processing ability, sensitive to high temperature deformation, or with special process requirements, ultra-low temperature forming (i.e. plastic processing in an environment below -100°C) has gradually become a research hotspot. The research results of cryogenic technology in recent years have shown that some metal materials can simultaneously improve the elongation and work hardening index in ultra-low temperature environments, and obtain parts with both excellent strength and elongation deformation. In addition, the forming of materials in a low temperature environment also avoids the influence of traditional high temperature processing on the material structure (abnormal grain growth or phase change).

[0003] The principle of existing cryogenic plate forming devices is that the plate material is immersed in a liquid nitrogen environment for forming. Such devices are not only large in size and consume a lot of liquid nitrogen, but also require a special mechanical structure and a complex insulation structure, resulting in low production efficiency and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned and existing problems, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an ultra-low temperature sheet forming device, which can be generally used in universal testing machines, thermal simulation testing machines or other presses, and combines high-pressure gas cylinders and refrigerators to replace the traditional method of requiring a large amount of liquid nitrogen and other refrigerants to achieve a low-temperature environment for the sheet, thereby achieving ultra-low temperature forming of the sheet in an efficient and energy-saving manner.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model:

[0006] A super-low temperature sheet forming device, wherein an upper top plate and a lower bottom plate which are arranged relatively parallel to each other are connected by guide pillars, a pressure slide plate passes through the guide pillars and is slidably matched with the guide pillars; the sheet material is installed between a die and a blank holder which are relatively opposite to each other, the die and the blank holder are mechanically connected and clamped with the groove at the bottom of a die seat through a boss at the top of the die, a refrigerator and a thermal resistor are installed in respective holes reserved in the die seat; the die seat is installed at the bottom of a die seat pad, the die seat pad is installed at the bottom of the pressure slide plate, and a force transmission seat is installed at the top of the pressure slide plate; the punch is installed at the top of the punch seat, the punch seat is fixed to the lower bottom plate by bolts, and the upper part of the punch corresponds to the sheet material and the die; a sealed cabin is installed around the upper top plate and the lower bottom plate, a heat preservation plate is fitted with the inner wall of the sealed cabin, a sealed cabin door is provided on one side of the sealed cabin, and the sealed cabin door cooperates with the sealed cabin.

[0007] In the ultra-low temperature sheet forming device, the two ends of the pipeline system are respectively installed at the input end of the refrigerator and the output end of the high-pressure gas cylinder, and the high-pressure gas output flow rate of the high-pressure gas cylinder is controlled by the operating table. The high-pressure gas cylinder is used to input high-pressure gas into the refrigerator, which is converted into liquid spray and sprayed onto the surface of the blank for cooling. The temperature of the sheet is controlled by controlling the high-pressure gas output flow rate.

[0008] The ultra-low temperature sheet forming device has three or more refrigerators evenly distributed around the die seat.

[0009] In the ultra-low temperature sheet forming device, the movable concave die is pressed down to the fixed convex die, so that the liquid refrigerant spray sprayed by the refrigerator remains on the surface of the blank for a long time.

[0010] The ultra-low temperature sheet forming device has a magnetic top on the force transmission seat, and is fixed to the pressure machine by magnetic attraction or fastening bolts.

[0011] When the ultra-low temperature sheet forming device is fixed by fastening bolts, the fastening bolts are installed in the bolt holes on the force transmission seat, and the force transmission seat is fixed to the pressure machine by the fastening bolts.

[0012] A method for forming an ultra-low temperature sheet material using the device comprises the following steps:

[0013] S1. Design the shape and size of the die and punch according to the target parts, and calculate the blanking size of the sheet;

[0014] S2. Fix the lower base plate and the force transmission seat of the ultra-low temperature sheet forming device on the pressure machine respectively;

[0015] S3, fix the sheet between the die and the blank holder, and then screw the die into the die seat and clamp it;

[0016] S4. Adjust the distance between the concave die and the convex die according to the shape and size of the sheet;

[0017] S5. Close the sealed hatch;

[0018] S6. Open the valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder, and the high-pressure gas is output from the high-pressure gas cylinder to the refrigerator to form a liquid refrigerant spray, which is sprayed onto the surface of the plate to cool the plate to a predetermined temperature;

[0019] S7, forming: by operating the pressure machine, the die moves linearly downward, and the ultra-low temperature plate forming process of the sheet material is realized through the joint action of the die and the punch;

[0020] S8. After forming is completed, close the high-pressure gas cylinder valve, open the sealed cabin door, and take out the target parts.

[0021] The design idea of ​​the utility model is:

[0022] The principle of the existing ultra-low temperature plate forming devices is mostly: a large amount of liquid nitrogen is introduced into the forming tool to cool it down before the forming process is carried out. This type of device is not only large in size and consumes a lot of liquid nitrogen, but also requires a special mechanical structure and a complex insulation structure, with low production efficiency and high cost. Therefore, the utility model proposes a small universal device to solve the problem of ultra-low temperature plate forming, which uses a refrigerator to spray liquid refrigerant spray instead of a large amount of liquid nitrogen immersion, and can be installed in conjunction with a general pressure machine, which can be integrated with the original pressure machine to save space and facilitate assembly, and there is no need to change the original function of the pressure machine.

[0023] The advantages and beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0024] 1. The utility model has the advantages of small size, energy saving, low cost and high production efficiency;

[0025] 2. The utility model has a simple structure and is easy to load and unload;

[0026] 3. The utility model does not require a special pressure mechanical structure and a complex supporting system, has strong versatility and a wide range of applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
