[0002] Flat plate mold quenching test is a common test method for studying the properties of hot-formed steel after quenching. Currently, most of these tests are carried out on dedicated hot-forming production lines.

However, these methods lack pressure holding and other process measures, differ significantly from actual hot forming production lines, and do not conform to real-world material application scenarios. Consequently, the test results obtained differ from actual field conditions. Therefore, designing a flat die stamping quenching test device with low manufacturing and operating costs, and consistent with actual production line operation, is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

[0019] Figure 1 , 2 The upper mold plate 2, lower mold plate 3, and mold support columns 4 constitute the main frame structure of this device. The upper mold plate 2 and lower mold plate 3 are identical rectangular plates, placed parallel to each other vertically. The lower surface of the upper mold plate 2 has positioning holes 15 at each of its four corners, and the upper surface of the lower mold plate 3 has positioning screw holes 16 at each of its four corners. The lower ends of the four mold support columns 4 are threaded and connected to the positioning screw holes 16 at the four corners of the lower mold plate 3. The upper ends of the four mold support columns 4 are inserted into the positioning holes 15 at the four corners of the upper mold plate 2.

[0020] Figure 1 , 3 The mold base has a circular hole 10 at the center of the template 2. A pressure cylinder 1 is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the template 2. The pressure piston rod 11 of the pressure cylinder 1 passes through the circular hole 10 of the template 2 and is connected to the upper part of the mold handle 5. The mold handle 5 is a cylindrical body with a threaded inner hole. The lower end of the pressure piston rod 11 of the pressure cylinder 1 has a thread that matches the thread of the inner hole of the mold handle 5. The inner hole of the mold handle 5 and the pressure piston rod 11 of the pressure cylinder 1 are connected by a thread. The lower end of the mold handle 5 is connected to the upper end of the punch 6 of the mold.

[0021] Figure 1 , 4The mold is placed in the cavity between the upper mold plate 2 and the lower mold plate 3 of the mold base. The mold includes a punch 6, a die 7, and mold guide pillars 8. The punch 6 and the die 7 are both flat rectangular parallelepiped structures, parallel to each other, located between the upper mold plate 2 and the lower mold plate 3 of the mold base. The upper surface of the die 7 has guide pillar fixing screw holes 22 at each of its four corners, and the lower ends of the four mold guide pillars 8 are threaded to connect with the guide pillar fixing screw holes 22 at the four corners of the upper surface of the die 7. The punch 6 has sliding guide holes 12 at each of its four corners, and the upper ends of the four mold guide pillars 8 pass through the sliding guide holes 12 at the four corners of the punch 6. The mold guide pillars 8 and the sliding guide holes 12 are in sliding fit, allowing the punch 6 to slide up and down along the mold guide pillars 8.

[0022] Figure 1 , 3 The upper end of the punch 6 is connected to the lower end of the die shank 5. An annular flange 19 is welded to the lower end of the die shank 5. A positioning slot 20 is located at the center of the upper surface of the punch 6, matching the flange 19 at the lower end of the die shank 5. The flange 19 at the lower end of the die shank 5 is embedded in the positioning slot 20 on the upper surface of the punch 6. Fastening bolts 21 securely connect the die shank 5 and the upper surface of the punch 6 through the flange holes. The pressure piston rod 11 of the pressure cylinder 1 can drive the die shank 5 to move up and down, which in turn drives the punch 6 to move up and down. The punch 6 and the die 7 press the flat blank 26.

[0023] Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the lower surface of the die 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower template 3 of the mold frame. The die 7 has a vertical die fixing hole 23 at its center. The diameter of the die fixing hole 23 matches that of the fixing bolt 24. The upper end of the die fixing hole 23 has a large-diameter nut groove. The lower template 3 of the mold frame below the die fixing hole 23 has corresponding screw holes. The fixing bolt 24 is fixedly connected to the screw holes of the lower template 3 of the mold frame through the die fixing hole 23. The nut of the fixing bolt 24 is located in the nut groove at the upper end of the die fixing hole 23. The upper end face of the nut is lower than the upper surface of the die 7 and will not affect the flat blank 26 above the die 7.

[0024] Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, each of the four mold guide pillars 8 is fitted with an elastic support sleeve 25. The lower end face of each of the four elastic support sleeves 25 contacts the upper surface of the die 7. The height of the elastic support sleeve 25 is less than the thickness of the flat blank 26. The function of the elastic support sleeve 25 is to isolate the punch 6 and the die 7, preventing damage caused by contact between the surface of the punch 6 and the surface of the die 7 when there is no flat blank 26. Since the height of the elastic support sleeve 25 is less than the thickness of the flat blank 26, it will not affect the pressing of the flat blank 26.

[0025] Figure 1 , 3The diagram shows that there are cooling water pipes inside the mold bodies of punch 6 and die 7. Cooling water inlets 13 and cooling water outlets 14 are respectively located on the side walls of punch 6 and die 7. A general-purpose water chiller 9 is placed outside the upper mold plate 2 and the lower mold plate 3 of the mold frame. The water supply pipe and return pipe of the general-purpose water chiller 9 are connected to the cooling water inlets 13 and cooling water outlets 14 on the side walls of punch and die, respectively, to input circulating cooling water into the cooling water pipes in punch 6 and die 7. The cooling water quenches the flat blank 26 between punch 6 and die 7 through the cooling water pipes in punch 6 and die 7.

[0027] First, the test device is installed and connected so that the pressure piston rod 11 of the pressure cylinder 1 passes through the round hole 10 of the template 2 on the mold frame and is connected to the mold handle 5. The punch 6 and the die 7 are connected by the mold guide post 8.
