Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molds, in particular to a hole-turning positioning device used for laser cutting of thermoforming parts. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the mold industry, the mold development cycle is getting shorter and shorter, and the mass production stability of thermoformed parts is becoming more and more important. Accurate positioning can ensure the consistency of mass-produced parts and reduce the debugging time of laser cutting. Thermoformed parts are often formed using a positioning method of one round hole and one waist hole. Laser cutting can also use this positioning method, but the product surface sometimes rebounds or is not fixed, which will cause unstable laser cutting. The positioning is often inaccurate due to the influence of thermal expansion and contraction. When positioning the surface or convex hull, the stability of mass production is relatively poor, and the scrap rate of mass production is high. There is an urgent need to solve the precision problem in production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a hole-turning positioning device for laser cutting of thermoformed parts. The device adopts a commonly used round hole and waist hole of thermoformed parts as a basis for forming positioning, and flanging is performed when the forming is bottomed out, thereby ensuring the forming positioning and the one-time forming of the part surface, avoiding the problem of inaccurate positioning caused by the influence of thermal expansion and contraction. At the same time, because the hole-turning positioning and the forming positioning positions are at different positions above and below the positioning pin, the utilization rate of the material is not affected.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a hole-turning positioning device for laser cutting of thermoformed parts is designed, comprising an upper die base and a lower die base, a lower die base is provided below the upper die base, a product sheet is provided above the lower die base, three external positioning tools are provided on both sides of the product sheet, a U-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the lower die base, a waist-shaped flanging convex bulge is provided above one end of the lower die base, a locating pin mounting hole two is provided in the waist-shaped flanging convex bulge, a forming locating pin is installed in the locating pin mounting hole two, a locating pin mounting hole one is further provided in the U-shaped groove, a hole-turning locating pin is installed in the locating pin mounting hole one.

[0005] The hole-turning positioning pin is a step pin, and the lower half of the hole-turning positioning pin is provided with a lower die hole-turning punch.

[0006] The formed positioning pin is a straight pin, and a square groove is provided on the formed positioning pin.

[0007] The lower die base is provided with a threaded hole matched with the square groove.

[0008] The upper die base is provided with a first product process hole and a second product process hole which match the first positioning pin installation hole and the second positioning pin installation hole.

[0009] The product sheet is formed into a waist-shaped profiling structure of the product through hole turning.

[0010] The first positioning pin installation hole on the lower die base is a plum blossom hole.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the utility model adopts a step-by-step method to achieve shape positioning and then hole punching, and the hole punching is used for laser cutting positioning. The mass production stability is stronger and the scrap rate is lower. It realizes shape-based shaping and sheet cutting-free, improves material utilization, and is suitable for all hot-formed parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a lower die base 8 is provided below the upper die base 7, and a product sheet 2 is provided above the lower die base 8. The product sheet 2 in the figure is a seat crossbeam. Three external positioning tools 1 are provided on both sides of the product sheet 2. The external positioning tools 1 play a fixing role. A U-shaped groove 10 is provided in the middle of the lower die base 8, and a waist-shaped flanging convex 5 is provided above one end of the lower die base 8. A positioning pin mounting hole 2 13 is provided in the waist-shaped flanging convex 5, and a forming positioning pin 4 is installed in the positioning pin mounting hole 2 13. The forming positioning pin 4 plays a role of forming positioning. A positioning pin mounting hole 12 is also provided in the U-shaped groove 10, and a flip-hole positioning pin 3 is installed in the positioning pin mounting hole 12.

[0022] The flipping positioning pin 3 is a step pin. The upper part of the flipping positioning pin 3 and the forming positioning pin 4 together play the role of forming positioning. The lower part of the flipping positioning pin 3 is provided with a lower die flipping punch 14. The lower die flipping punch 14 plays the role of flipping, and finally makes the product 3 flip out a flange of about 3 mm. The lower die flipping punch 14 plays a positioning role during the laser cutting process.

[0023] The formed positioning pin 4 is a straight pin, and a square groove 11 is provided on the formed positioning pin.

[0024] The lower die base 8 is provided with a threaded hole 9 that matches the square groove 11. The forming positioning pin 4 is a circular hole. The forming positioning pin 4 can be fixed to the lower die base 8 through the threaded hole 9 to play a forming positioning role.

[0025] The upper die base 7 is provided with a product process hole 15 and a product process hole 2 16 which cooperate with the positioning pin mounting hole 12 and the positioning pin mounting hole 2 13. The product process hole 2 16 is a necessary structure for process forming and can also be replaced by a discharge sheet.

[0026] The product sheet 2 is formed into a waist-shaped profiling structure 6 of the product through punching.

[0027] The positioning pin mounting hole 12 on the lower die base 8 is a plum blossom hole. The plum blossom hole design prevents the part from wrapping when the part is returned, thereby ensuring the stability of mass production.

[0028] The specific operation process of the present invention is as follows: the device of the present invention can be applied to all thermoformed products in combination with analysis software simulation. This paper takes the seat crossbeam as an example. First, the analysis software is used to simulate the forming. According to the simulation results, the positioning holes and the position of the flip hole positioning pins of the sheet are set, and the height of the flanging is adjusted and optimized to be uniform. The flip hole positioning pin 3 and the forming positioning pin 4 are respectively installed in the positioning pin mounting hole 12 and the positioning pin mounting hole 2 13 in the lower die base 7. The forming positioning pin 4 is fixed by inserting a screw into the threaded hole 9 and the square groove 11. The product 2 is installed according to the positioning pin positions at both ends. The upper die base 7 presses the material downward, as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, the product 2 is squeezed by the lower die punch 14 of the lower half of the hole locating pin 3, and a flange of about 3 mm is turned out. The waist-shaped profiling structure 6 of the product fits tightly with the hole locating pin 3, which is used for precise positioning of laser cutting. When returning the material, the plum blossom hole design of the hole locating pin 3 prevents the part from wrapping when returning the material, ensuring the stability of mass production. Under the premise of unified benchmarks, cutting-free stability can be achieved, thereby improving material utilization and reducing laser cutting costs, reducing the development cost of the entire hot-formed parts, and making the product more cost-effective in the market.
