Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel leaf spring manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an integrated mold for cutting, trimming and engraving the head of an automotive leaf spring. Background Technology
[0002] Leaf springs are the most critical damping components in automotive suspension systems, with different automotive parts using leaf springs of varying specifications. Currently, leaf spring production generally involves cold rolling and hot rolling. After hot rolling, the leaf spring sheets are trimmed using a fixed die. Following trimming, marking is then processed on a separate engraving die. Insufficient temperature can affect the marking's formation. Repeated transfers of hot parts during production can cause temperature drops, impacting the marking's quality, wasting time, and reducing the efficiency of subsequent processes. Therefore, developing an integrated trimming and engraving die for automotive leaf springs—one with a simple structure, capable of combining trimming and engraving, reducing processing costs, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle—is of significant practical importance.
