[0047] Working process and principle of this utility model:

[0048] The mold is structurally provided with a guide plate for guiding the mold component during movement, a limit block is provided for limiting the mold component at the working limit position, a lifting handle or a lifting ring is provided on the mold component for lifting and shifting the mold, and a blank baffle and a positioning pin are provided in the product margin area or cutting area on the lower mold for positioning and limiting the blank to prevent the blank from moving and dislocating during the forming process. A liquid channel and an external hose are provided on the lower mold, which can be connected to an external hydraulic system to use high-pressure liquid for flexible liquid filling drawing or liquid filling bulging. On the basis of the existing traditional double-slide four-column press, a set of high-pressure water system is added to connect to the mold to realize its liquid filling forming function. There is no need to purchase special liquid filling forming equipment separately, which can greatly reduce equipment and production costs.

[0049] The lower die is mounted on the fixed table of a double-slide four-column press, the blank holder is mounted on the blank holder slide, and the upper die is mounted on the drawing slide. When the die is working, the blank holder is first driven downward by the blank holder slide, applying appropriate pressure to the edge of the blank to control and improve the material's flow properties and effectively prevent wrinkling. The drawing slide then drives the upper die downward to achieve conventional drop forming. The external high-pressure water system is then activated to fill the lower die with high-pressure liquid to achieve liquid-filled forming. This has the advantages of a large drawing ratio, high forming limit, high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, uniform wall thickness distribution, low springback, fewer passes, and low cost.
