DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Taking the preparation of high-end mobile phone frame structural components as an example, the two ends of the straight titanium alloy material are bent to form two rounded corners.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides a bending die, comprising:

[0031] A longitudinal mechanism 1, wherein the longitudinal mechanism 1 comprises an upper die assembly 11 and a lower die assembly 12, wherein the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and a material is placed between the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12, and the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 apply longitudinal pressure to the material, clamp the material, and keep the material stable between the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12;

[0032] The lateral mechanism 2 includes a driving assembly 21 and a punch assembly 22. The driving assembly 21 drives and connects the punch assembly 22. The punch assembly 22 is arranged on both sides of the lower die assembly 12. The punch assembly 22 includes a punch 221, a return spring 222 and a lower forming male 223 with a receiving groove 224. The punch 221 is detachable and replaceable. The return spring 222 is arranged in the punch 221. The punch 221 can be movably arranged in the receiving groove 224 of the forming male. Therefore, the punch 221 can be matched and replaced according to the required bending shape and material thickness on the one hand. On the other hand, since the punch 221 has a return spring 222 and is arranged in the receiving groove 224, the driving assembly 2 The punch 221 can be driven to move in the receiving groove 224. When the driving force disappears, the reset spring 222 resets the punch 221. As the longitudinal pressure on the material increases, the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 are displaced, driving the material to fall into the lateral mechanism 2. Driven by the driving assembly 21, the punch assembly 22 extrude the material in the horizontal direction, so that the material on both sides of the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 is extruded to form an arc profile. Due to the presence of the reset spring 222, the punch 221 maintains a fixed displacement during the extrusion of the material, thereby maintaining the shape stability of the material and avoiding distortion or deformation. It can also reduce external interference in the extrusion process and reduce energy consumption.

[0033] It is further explained how the driving assembly 21 drives the punch 221. The driving assembly 21 includes a rod 211, a driving block 212 and a floating spring 213. The rod 211 is fixedly connected to the upper die assembly 11, and the rod 211 can move to touch the driving block 212. The driving block 212 and the floating spring 213 are jointly arranged on both sides of the lower die assembly 12. The floating spring 213 is connected to the driving block 212. As the upper die assembly 11 is displaced, the rod 211 is driven to move. When the rod 211 touches the driving block 212, the driving block 2 The floating spring 213 in 12 is squeezed and contracted, so that the driving block 212 also produces a fixed displacement. The driving block 212 contacts the punch 221, and the driving block 212 generates a horizontal force on the punch 221. When the hitting rod 211 leaves the driving block 212, the floating spring 213 recovers and resets the driving block 212. The driving block 212 cannot contact the punch 221. Therefore, the driving block 212 does not need to have its own electric power to drive the punch 221. The movement of the upper mold assembly 11 simultaneously drives the lateral mechanism 2, so that the extrusion process can be synchronized, and no additional algorithm is required to improve the accuracy of the extrusion action of the lateral mechanism 2.

[0034] It is worth noting that both the punch 221 and the driving block 212 are provided with inclined surfaces 23, and the two inclined surfaces 23 touch each other during movement, and the punch 221 and the driving block 212 form an inclined wedge mechanism. Using the principle of mechanical transmission, the punch 221 is equivalent to a slider, and the driving block 212 is equivalent to an inclined wedge. The cooperation between the punch 221 and the driving block 212 converts vertical motion into horizontal motion, converts longitudinal force into lateral force, and completes the extrusion action.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper mold assembly 11 includes a first gap 3, and the lower mold assembly 12 includes a second gap 4. The first gap 3 and the second gap 4 can both be shortened or restored. When bending, the first gap 3 and the second gap 4 will shrink as the pressure increases, and until the first gap 3 and the second gap 4 return to zero, so that the upper mold assembly 11 and the lower mold assembly 12 are tightly clamped to adjust the size of the first gap 3 and the second gap 4, so as to control the size of the force acting on the material.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper mold assembly 11 includes an upper mold base 111, a first nitrogen spring 112, an upper pad 113, a stop plate 114, an upper mold plate 115, a forming pad 116 and an upper forming male 117, wherein the upper pad 113 is located below the upper mold base 111, one end of the first nitrogen spring 112 is embedded in the upper mold base 111 and the upper pad 113, and the other end of the first nitrogen spring 112 is connected to the stop plate 114, and the first gap 3 is set Between the upper pad 113 and the stop plate 114, and one end of the hitting rod 211 is connected to the upper pad 113, the hitting rod 211 passes through the stop plate 114 and the upper template 115, and the other end of the hitting rod 211 is arranged opposite to the driving block 212, the upper template 115 is located below the stop plate 114, the forming pad 116 is located below the upper template 115, and the upper forming male 117 is located below the forming pad 116.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 12 includes a lower mold base 121, a second nitrogen spring 122, a lower pad 123, a lower clamping plate 124, a lower mold plate 125 and a lower pressing plate 126, the lower pad 123 is located above the lower mold base 121, one end of the second nitrogen spring 122 is embedded in the lower mold base 121 and the lower pad 123, the other end of the second nitrogen spring 122 is connected to the lower pressing plate 126, the second gap 4 is set between the lower pad 123 and the lower pressing plate 126, and the lower molding groove 4 is provided. 223 is arranged on both sides of the lower pressing plate 126 and the second gap 4, the lower clamping plate 124 is arranged above the lower pad 123, and the lower clamping plate 124 is located on one side of the lower forming male 223, one end of the floating spring 213 is connected to the lower clamping plate 124, and the other end of the floating spring 213 is connected to the driving block 212, and the driving block 212 is located on one side of the punch 221, and the lower template 125 is located above the lower clamping plate 124, and the lower template 125 is located on one side of the driving block 212.

[0038] Specifically, the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 are both installed in the press, and the upper die base 111 and the lower die base 121 are used to fix the entire upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12; the upper pad 113 and the lower pad 123 are used to support and protect the material; the stop plate 114 limits the movement range of the material to ensure that it maintains the correct position during the processing; the upper template 115 and the lower template 125 are used to form a connection position; the forming pad 116 is used to distribute pressure to avoid material damage due to excessive stress when bending the material; the upper forming pin 117 and the lower forming pin 223 are used to assist in positioning and supporting the workpiece, providing stable support during the bending process; the lower clamp 124 is used to form the installation position of the floating spring 213, fixing the drive block 212 thereon; the lower pressure plate 126 is used to directly contact the material; the structural design of the upper die assembly 11 and the lower die assembly 12 ensures that the material can be fully supported and fixed during the bending process, and the pressure is evenly distributed, thereby achieving precise bending shape and high-quality forming. Figure 1 The material is located between the upper forming male 117 and the lower pressing plate 126. The length of the upper forming male 117 is greater than the length of the lower pressing plate 126, which facilitates the material to bend upward and round the corners.

[0039] The lower molding male 223 includes a base 2231 and a molding block 2232. The base 2231 is arranged above the lower pad 123, and the molding block 2232 is arranged in the base 2231. The accommodating groove 224 is arranged in the base 2231 and the molding block 2232. The molding block 2232 is also detachable and replaceable. Whether to install the molding block 2232 is selected according to the thickness of the material.

[0040] The first nitrogen spring 112 and the second nitrogen spring 122 generate elastic force by compression and expansion of nitrogen in a closed pressure cylinder, and the magnitude of the elastic force can be accurately controlled by adjusting the pressure of the nitrogen, thereby adjusting the size of the first gap 3 and the second gap 4.

[0041] Specifically, the punch 221 has a two-section structure, one end of the return spring 222 is fixedly connected to the first section structure of the punch 221, and the other end of the return spring 222 is fixedly connected to the second section structure of the punch 221. There is a gap between the first section structure and the second section structure of the punch 221, so that the punch 221 has elastic restoring force and maintains a fixed displacement during the extrusion of the material.

[0042] Both the driving block 212 and the lower clamping plate 124 are provided with installation positions for the floating spring 213, and there is a gap between the driving block 212 and the lower clamping plate 124, so that the driving block 212 can touch the inclined surface 23 of the punch 221 when the floating spring 213 is squeezed and deformed. When the floating spring 213 recovers, the inclined surface 23 of the driving block 212 does not contact the inclined surface 23 of the punch 221.

Under the action of electricity, the transverse cylinder 215 drives the punch 221 to further extrude the material.

[0046] Example 3
