Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of leaf spring manufacturing, and particularly relates to a special die for integrally trimming and punching an automotive leaf spring. Background Art

[0002] The leaf spring is the most critical shock-absorbing component in the automotive suspension system. Different automotive parts use leaf springs of different specifications, and leaf springs are paired and used on the same vehicle. Currently, in the production process of leaf springs, the rolling is generally divided into cold rolling and hot rolling. After the leaf spring plate is hot-rolled, a fixed die is used to trim the leaf spring plate. After trimming, it is necessary to wait for the leaf spring to cool before moving it to a punching press to complete the whole process. In the production process, the cooling after rolling takes a long time, wasting time and reducing the production efficiency of subsequent processes. Therefore, it is of great application significance to develop a special die for integrally trimming and punching an automotive leaf spring with simple structure, improved processing accuracy, reduced processing cost, increased production efficiency, and shortened production cycle.
