[0037] Specifically, when using the mobile phone frame forging die, start the hydraulic device 5, the hydraulic device 5 pushes the hydraulic rod 6 to displace downward, the displacement of the hydraulic rod 6 drives the lower block 9 to displace downward synchronously, and the displacement of the lower block 9 also drives the displacement of the two side auxiliary rods 7, and the displacement of the lower block 9 also drives the downward displacement of the upper die 10 in the lower block 9, when the lower block 9 is positioned in the internal groove of the base 2, the positioning ball 20 will enter the inner wall of the positioning hole 12, when the positioning ball 20 is on the two sides of the wedge block 15 in the inner wall of the positioning hole 12, the two sides of the wedge block 15 are subjected to lateral extrusion force and thus displace inward, the displacement of the wedge block 15 drives the contraction of the telescopic rod 13 and the compression of the spring 14, when the positioning ball 20 continues to displace to the innermost part of the positioning hole 12, the wedge block 15 loses the lateral extrusion force, the telescopic rod 13 and the spring 14 rebound, thereby completing the locking of the positioning ball 20, when the forging is completed, the electric pusher 16 pushes the push rod 17 to displace upward, the push rod 17 drives the displacement of the limiting block 18, the limiting block 18 is made of cast iron and has high strength and stability, which can limit the movement range of the disc-shaped block 19. At the same time, the disc-shaped block 19 is also displaced upward under the driving of the limiting block 18, when the disc-shaped block 19 is displaced to the two sides of the wedge block 15, the wedge block 15 retracts, the disc-shaped block 19 continues to displace to the bottom of the positioning ball 20, at this time, the electric pusher 16 retreats and drives the positioning ball 20 and the disc-shaped block 19 to displace downward, at this time, the wedge block 15 retracts again under the extrusion of the disc-shaped block 19, thereby driving the positioning ball 20 to be positioned outside the positioning hole 12, thereby completing the unlocking of the positioning ball 20. Through such accurate positioning and unlocking mechanism, the effect of rapid and accurate positioning is realized, and the precision and quality of the mobile phone frame forging are improved.
[0038] Reference Figure 6 - Figure 7A plurality of locking columns 21 are slidably connected inside the upper die 10 and the lower die 11, and are also slidably connected inside the base 2 and the pressing block 9. The base 2 and the pressing block 9 are provided with locking holes 25 at the bottom of the locking columns 21. A threaded column 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking column 21. The threaded column 22 is made of stainless steel, and the threads on the surface thereof are finely processed to tightly cooperate with the inner wall of the locking column 21, so that the rotational movement can be effectively converted into axial displacement movement during rotation. A plurality of balls 24 are slidably connected inside the locking column 21. The balls 24 are made of bearing steel and are subjected to quenching treatment on the surface, so that the hardness is high and the smoothness is good. The balls 24 are circumferentially distributed inside the locking column 21. The spacing between each ball 24 is appropriate, which can ensure sufficient space to roll outward during extrusion, and can also provide uniform support force during locking. The bottom of the threaded column 22 is fixedly connected with a movable ball 23. The surface of the movable ball 23 is smooth and spherical, which can uniformly contact and apply pressure to the balls 24. The inner wall of the locking column 21 is fixedly connected with a limiting column 26 at the bottom. The limiting column 26 is distributed below the balls 24, which can block the balls 24 from falling excessively, and ensure that the balls 24 can be accurately extruded into the locking holes 25 when locking is required.
[0039] Specifically, when the mold needs to be disassembled for daily maintenance and repair of the equipment, the worker first prepares a suitable screwdriver tool. The worker inserts the screwdriver into the hole corresponding to the threaded column 22, rotates the screwdriver to drive the threaded column 22 to rotate, and under the action of the thread, the threaded column 22 gradually moves upward. The displacement of the threaded column 22 drives the upward displacement of the movable ball 23. With the displacement of the movable ball 23, the rolling ball 24 on the inner wall of the locking column 21 loses the extrusion force and becomes loose. When the movable ball 23 is displaced upward, the lateral pressure on the rolling ball 24 decreases, and the rolling ball 24 retreats into the locking column 21. At the same time, under the limitation of the limiting column 26, the rolling ball 24 will not roll randomly. In this way, the upper mold 10 and the lower mold 11 are unlocked. When installing, only the threaded column 22 needs to be tightened to drive the movable ball 23 to displace downward and extrude the rolling ball 24 into the locking hole 25. When the threaded column 22 rotates downward, the movable ball 23 moves downward with the movement of the threaded column 22. The movable ball 23 gradually extrudes the rolling ball 24, and the rolling ball 24 rolls to the outside of the locking column 21. Since the hole diameter of the locking hole 25 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the rolling ball 24, when the rolling ball 24 is extruded into the locking hole 25, the rolling ball 24 is in close contact with the inner wall of the locking hole 25, generating strong friction and clamping force, thereby achieving the locking of the upper mold 10 and the lower mold 11. The sliding fit between the locking column 21 and the upper mold 10, the lower mold 11, the base 2 and the pressing block 9 is precisely machined, and the gap is small, which can ensure that the locking column 21 can smoothly slide during installation and disassembly, and at the same time can ensure the stability of the mold in the locked state. Through such an operation mode, the effect of quickly installing and disassembling the upper mold 10 and the lower mold 11 is achieved, the efficiency of equipment maintenance and repair is improved, the operation difficulty is reduced, and the production of alloy mobile phone frames is facilitated.
[0040] Working principle: when using the forging die of the mobile phone frame, first, the hydraulic rod 6 is pushed downward by the hydraulic device 5, the displacement of the hydraulic rod 6 drives the downward displacement of the lower pressing block 9, and the displacement of the lower pressing block 9 also drives the displacement of the auxiliary rods 7 on both sides of the lower pressing block 9, and the displacement of the lower pressing block 9 also drives the downward displacement of the upper die 10 in the lower pressing block 9, when the lower pressing block 9 is positioned in the internal groove of the base 2, the positioning ball 20 enters the inner wall of the positioning hole 12, when the positioning ball 20 reaches the wedge-shaped blocks 15 on both sides of the inner wall of the positioning hole 12, the wedge-shaped blocks 15 are subjected to lateral extrusion force and are displaced inward, the displacement of the wedge-shaped blocks 15 drives the contraction of the telescopic rod 13 and the compression of the spring 14, when the positioning ball 20 continues to displace to the innermost part of the positioning hole 12, the wedge-shaped blocks 15 lose the lateral extrusion force, the telescopic rod 13 and the spring 14 rebound, thereby completing the locking of the positioning ball 20, after the forging is completed, the push rod 17 is pushed upward by the electric pusher 16, the push rod 17 drives the displacement of the limiting block 18, and the disc-shaped block 19 is also displaced upward under the driving of the limiting block 18, when the disc-shaped block 19 is displaced to the both sides of the wedge-shaped blocks 15, the wedge-shaped blocks 15 retract, the disc-shaped block 19 continues to displace to the bottom of the positioning ball 20, at this time, the electric pusher 16 retreats and drives the downward displacement of the positioning ball 20 and the disc-shaped block 19, at this time, the wedge-shaped blocks 15 retract again under the extrusion of the disc-shaped block 19, thereby driving the positioning ball 20 to be positioned outside the positioning hole 12, thereby completing the unlocking of the positioning ball 20, thereby realizing the effect of quick and accurate positioning, when the equipment needs to be disassembled for daily maintenance, the worker first uses a screwdriver to extend into the hole corresponding to the threaded column 22, rotates the screwdriver to drive the threaded column 22 to rotate, under the action of the thread, the threaded column 22 gradually moves upward, the displacement of the threaded column 22 drives the upward displacement of the movable ball 23, as the movable ball 23 displaces, the rolling balls 24 on the inner wall of the locking column 21 lose the extrusion force and become loose, thereby retreating into the locking column 21, at the same time, under the limitation of the limiting column 26, the rolling balls 24 will not roll randomly, thereby completing the unlocking of the upper die 10 and the lower die 11, when installing, the threaded column 22 is only needed to be tightened to drive the movable ball 23 to displace downward and extrude the rolling balls 24 into the locking hole 25, thereby completing the locking of the upper die 10 and the lower die 11, thereby realizing the effect of quick installation and disassembly of the upper die 10 and the lower die 11.
