AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing asymmetric U-shaped forming molds cause product deformation due to workpiece side springback during the forming process, resulting in out-of-tolerance dimensions and angles. Furthermore, the molds have strict requirements on workpiece thickness and cannot be used on ordinary hydraulic presses, leading to low yield and high equipment costs.

Method used

The mold employs first and second die assemblies that are oscillating on the lower template assembly. After the punch presses into the workpiece, it pushes the die assembly closer, causing the workpiece to bend inward on its side. Through the cooperation of the elastic element and the ejector element, the workpiece is successfully ejected. The mold has a simple structure, strong adaptability, and is suitable for ordinary hydraulic presses.

Benefits of technology

It effectively eliminates workpiece side springback, ensures accurate product angles and dimensions, improves yield, reduces equipment costs, and has strong mold adaptability, making it suitable for ordinary hydraulic presses.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forming dies, in particular to an asymmetric U-shaped part forming die. Background Art

[0002] like Figures 7-10 As shown, the working principle of the conventional asymmetric U-shaped forming die is as follows: the punch 111 of the die presses the workpiece 112 into the inner cavity 114 of the rigid die 113, and the workpiece 112 moves downward with the punch 111. The workpiece 112 enters the rigid die 113 and is extruded and formed. After the workpiece 112 is extruded to the limit, the punch 111 is driven back by the equipment, and the ejection block 115 is pushed out of the workpiece 112 by the lower ejection cylinder of the equipment, and the whole work is completed. This die has the following disadvantages: 1. After the workpiece 112 is formed, its side 116 will rebound, that is, the side 116 of the workpiece 112 will bend outward (such as Figure 10 1. The workpiece is too thick and easily gets stuck on the mold. If the workpiece is too thin, its side 116 will rebound severely, resulting in a low yield rate. 2. The punch 111 and the die 113 are both rigid structures. The mold must be used on a forming hydraulic press, otherwise the workpiece cannot be removed.
