[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a thick material shrinkage molding separation structure, which is used in a molding mold and includes: an upper mold 10, a discharge structure 20, and a lower mold 30.

[0020] Depend on Figure 2 As shown, the upper die 10 includes an upper die base 100, an upper pad 101, a fixed plate 102, a nitrogen spring 103, a fixed plate insert 104, a guide punch 105, a push rod 106, a push spring 107, and a first screw plug 108;

[0021] Depend on Figure 2 As shown, the unloading structure 20 includes a unloading back plate 201, a unloading plate 202, and a shrinkage molding insert 203;

[0022] Depend on Figure 2As shown, the lower die 30 includes a lower die plate 301, a lower fixing plate 302, a lower pad 303, a lower die base 304, a forming die 305, a pusher 306, a rectangular spring 307, and a second screw plug 308;

[0023] Depend on Figure 3 As shown, the guide punch 105 is equipped with a push rod 106, a push spring 107, and a first screw plug 108 to fix the push spring so that it does not move. This structure is to ensure that the product is not carried onto the upper mold after molding and separation. The fixed plate insert 104 provides a limit for the guide punch 105 in the vertical direction. The fixed plate insert 104 is fixed to the fixed plate 102 through the insert hole; a fixed nitrogen spring 103 is installed on the upper mold base 100. As shown in the figure, the sliding distance of the guide punch 105 is formed between the limit position of the fixed plate insert 104 and the nitrogen spring 103. For details, refer to Figure 4 As shown, point A in the figure is the limiting position of the fixed plate insert 104 to the guide punch 105.

[0024] The upper die base 100, the upper pad 101 and the fixed plate 102 are connected by hexagon socket screws. The shrinkage molding insert 203 is fixed on the stripper plate 202 through the insert hole, and the stripper plate 202 and the stripper back plate 201 are connected by hexagon socket screws.

[0025] A pusher 306 is installed within the forming die 305. The die 305 is then secured to the lower die plate 301 via the insert holes. The lower die plate 301, lower fixing plate 302, lower backing plate 303, and lower die base 304 are connected via hexagon socket head screws. A rectangular spring 307 is installed beneath the pusher 306, which is locked with a second screw plug 308 to prevent movement.

[0026] Depend on Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, in order to enable the guide punch 105 in the product shrinkage forming and separation station to easily push the formed product off the blank and separate it from the material strip, the blank must be half-sheared (the half-shear structure does not involve shrinkage forming and is therefore not elaborated).

[0027] When the mold changes from an open state to a closed state, the upper mold 10 and the discharge structure 20 first move downward as a whole. When the discharge structure 20 contacts the lower mold 30, the counter-pressure structure in the lower mold pushes the discharge structure 20 back until the discharge back plate 201 in the discharge structure 20 is in close contact with the fixed plate 102 in the upper mold 10. At this time, the guide punch 105 has completely exposed the shrinkage molding insert 203 in the discharge plate. As the press continues to move downward, the guide punch 105 has also completely entered the product 400 cavity. At this time, the guide punch 105 plays a role of rough guidance. The press continues to move downward, and the nitrogen spring 103 installed in the upper mold base 100 applies force to the guide punch 105, and then the half-sheared blank is ejected through the floating structure of the progressive die. At this time, the blank is completely separated from the material strip. The press continues to move downward, and the separated blank continues to move downward with the guide punch 105. Since the mouth of the forming die 305 has a chamfered R angle, the part will also position the blank at this time. The guide punch 105 presses the blank into the forming die 305. Since the force applied by the nitrogen spring 103 in the upper die assembly 10 is greater than the initial force of the rectangular spring 307 in the lower die 30, the guide punch 105 can press the blank to push the pusher 306 installed in the forming die 305 downward until the lower end of the pusher 306 is in close contact with the upper surface of the lower pad 303. At this time, the blank also enters the forming die 305, exposing only the shrinkage forming part of the blank. As the press continues to move downward, when it moves to the lower limit point, the shrinkage forming insert 203 installed in the discharge plate 202 completes the shrinkage forming action of the blank. At this time, the blank has been stamped into a product. After passing the lower limit point, the press moves upward, the mold opens, and the upper mold moves upward. The product in the forming die 305 is also pushed out of the surface of the forming die 305 by the pusher 306, and then the product is blown out of the mold by the blowing structure installed in the mold (the blowing structure does not involve shrinkage and is therefore not explained).

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
