Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the lower die of a punch press, and in particular to a combined lower die of a CNC punch press with adjustable height. Background Technology
[0002] Existing CNC punching die combination lower dies, when used as blanking lower dies, require various specifications of shims of different thicknesses to ensure that the lower die height remains unchanged after the lower die core cutting edge wears down and the die is re-cut. When used as forming dies, they often cannot meet the requirements of the specified forming height and must be configured accordingly. In particular, when the thickness of the processed plate changes, design changes are required, which increases the workload of die design and manufacturing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable height combination lower mold that is low in manufacturing cost, has a wide range of applications, a simple and reliable structure, and is easy and quick to operate.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is to design an adjustable height combination lower die for a CNC punch press, including a lower die body, a lower die core located in the upper part of the lower die body cavity, and an adjustable base at its lower part. The lower die body cavity has an internal thread, and the outer diameter of the adjustable base has an external thread. The lower die body and the adjustable base are connected and installed through the internal and external threads. The forward and reverse rotation of the adjustable base allows it to move up and down, thereby changing the vertical position of the lower die core in the lower die body cavity and adjusting the height of the combination lower die. After the height adjustment is completed, the lower die body and the lower die core are connected and fixed with fastening screws, and the lower die body and the adjustable base are connected and fixed with threaded positioning beads or fastening screws.
[0005] The lower mold body of this utility model is disc-shaped, and its external structural dimensions are adapted to the lower mold cavity of the machine tool. The upper part of the lower mold body is provided with a circular hole for installing the lower mold core. A positioning pin is fixed on the wall of the circular hole, and the position of the positioning pin is in the same direction as the keyway on the outer diameter of the lower mold body that positions the lower mold cavity of the machine tool. The wall of the circular hole is also provided with at least one screw hole for installing a fastening screw. The lower part of the circular hole is provided with an internal thread, and the wall of the internal thread is provided with a screw hole for installing a threaded positioning ball or a fastening screw. The lower end face of the lower mold body is provided with an annular numerical mark that can indicate the adjustment distance.
[0006] The lower die core of this utility model is in the shape of a circular plate. The lower die core is provided with a lower die cutting edge that matches the cutting edge of a specific punch in the upper die. The outer diameter of the lower die core matches the circular hole in the upper part of the lower die body. The lower die core and the lower die body are connected together by fastening screws provided on the column of the lower die body. The outer diameter of the lower die core is also provided with one or more longitudinal keyways that are evenly distributed at an angle to each other and are positioned with the positioning pins on the wall of the circular hole of the lower die body.
[0007] The adjustable base of this utility model is in the shape of a circular plate. The outer diameter of the adjustable base is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the lower part of the mold body. Two or more longitudinal straight grooves are evenly distributed on the external thread, which match the ends of the threaded positioning beads or fastening screws. After adjustment, the ends of the threaded positioning beads or fastening screws are pressed on the straight grooves to prevent the vertical position between the adjustable base and the lower mold body from becoming loose. The minimum adjustment interval of the combined lower mold depends on the pitch of the adjustable base and the number of its straight grooves. The lower end face of the adjustable base is provided with a hole or groove for inserting a rotating tool. The lower end face of the adjustable base is provided with a zero line mark that corresponds to the annular numerical mark on the lower end face of the lower mold body when the combined lower mold is at the calibrated height. The adjustable base is also provided with a drain hole for passing through punching residue.
[0008] The working principle of this utility model is that the lower die body, lower die core, and adjustable base are connected and installed by internal and external threads. The lower die core and adjustable base can be set to their corresponding positions for both forward and reverse rotation. When the combined lower die is used as a punching lower die, the lower die height can be kept unchanged after the cutting edge of the lower die core is worn and re-sharpened. When used as a forming die core, the height of the lower die core can be adjusted conveniently and quickly to achieve the specified forming height.
[0009] The advantages of this invention are that it can effectively increase the amount of re-grinding of the lower mold, save the trial molding and adjustment time of the molding die, and has a simple and reliable structure, is easy and quick to operate, and has a wide range of applications.
