Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of preforming mould, especially a kind of preforming mould of unilateral side pushing of pipe class parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] In prior art, hydraulic forming process is carried out in internal high pressure forming, and before the overall bulging of parts reaches design state, it is usually necessary to first pass through a procedure, i.e., to press the pipe blank to specified modeling, which is simply called preforming. Preforming can play the role of uniformly distributing materials along the radial direction of pipe blank, and this process is the key process of hydraulic forming process.

[0003] Figure 1 It is a schematic view of the structure of conventional preforming mould in prior art. As shown in Figure 1 The conventional preforming mould structure is composed of upper die 10 and lower die 20. The pipe blank 30 is placed in the lower die cavity, and the upper die 10 goes down until the mould is closed in place to complete forming.

[0004] Figure 2 It is a schematic view of local protruding product and expansion rate. As shown in Figure 2 For the parts with protruding modeling in the middle and expansion rate greater than 3%, the protruding sides are first in contact with the mould surface in the preforming process, while the middle part is in passive state of being pressed down, and it is impossible to uniformly distribute the pipe blank materials in the radial direction. In the internal high pressure forming process, if there is no axial feed in the protruding area, the bulging will be cracked due to excessive deformation.

Wherever possible, the same or like reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to same or like parts, elements or features.

[0054] In addition, although the terms used in the present application are selected from publicly-known terms, some of the terms mentioned in the specification of the present application can be selected by the applicant in his or her judgment, and the detailed meanings thereof are described in the relevant part of the description herein.

[0055] In addition, the present application should be understood not only through the actual terms used, but also through the meanings implied by each term.

[0056] As Figures 3 to 5The utility model discloses a kind of preforming moulds of unilateral side pushing of pipe parts, it includes upper die seat 100, lower die seat 200, upper die insert 300, L-shaped insert 400, sliding assembly 500 and side pushing mechanism 600. Among them, L-shaped insert 300 is fixed on lower die seat 200, and sliding assembly 500 is slidably installed on lower die seat 200. Side pushing mechanism 600 is installed between upper die seat 100 and lower die seat 200, for pushing sliding assembly 500 moves towards L-shaped insert 400, so that sliding assembly 500 and L-shaped insert 400 form a U-shaped cavity 700. Upper die insert 300 is fixed on upper die seat 100 (for example, the upper die insert 300 of protruding screw lock on upper die seat 100). When upper die seat 100 moves towards lower die seat 200, upper die insert 300 inserts U-shaped cavity 700, and performs shaping to pipe blank 800.

[0057] Preferably, sliding assembly 500 includes vertical insert 510 and sliding wedge 520, vertical insert 510 is fixed on one side of sliding wedge 520, towards L-shaped insert 400. The shape of the opposite end face of L-shaped insert 400 and vertical insert 510 matches each other, and forms U-shaped cavity 700.

[0058] Here, L-shaped insert 400 is a fixed part, and is screwed on lower die seat 200. Vertical insert 510 is a side pushing part, and is screwed on sliding wedge 520, so that it can slide on lower die seat 200 in the direction of movement. Side pushing mechanism 600 is arranged outside sliding wedge 520.

[0059] In the embodiment, upper die insert 300 is in T shape, and the end of U-shaped cavity 700 protrudes outward. When upper die insert 300 moves to L-shaped insert 400, the end of upper die insert 300 inserts U-shaped cavity 700.

[0060] Further preferably, side pushing mechanism 600 includes driving seat 610 and reverse guide plate 620, driving seat 610 is fixed on upper die seat 100 (for example, driving seat 610 is screwed on upper die seat 100), towards lower die seat 200, and reverse guide plate 620 is fixed on lower die seat 200 (for example, reverse guide plate 620 is screwed on lower die seat 200), outside driving seat 610. When upper die seat 100 moves towards lower die seat 200, driving seat 610 pushes sliding wedge 520 to move, so as to drive vertical insert 510 to move towards L-shaped insert 400.

[0061] A first inclined surface 521 is arranged on the upper portion of the other side of the sliding wedge 520, and a second inclined surface 611 is arranged on the lower portion of the side of the driving seat 610, and the first inclined surface 521 is pushed by the second inclined surface 611. The wedge angle of the first inclined surface 521 can be preferably 60°, and the wedge angle of the second inclined surface 611 can also be preferably 60°, so that the two are matched up and down.

[0062] In addition, in order to meet the process requirements and the stability of production, a limiting portion 522 is arranged on the lower portion of the side of the sliding wedge 520 towards the side pushing mechanism 600. The thickness h1 of the sliding wedge 520 is preferably greater than or equal to 100 mm.

[0063] When the driving seat 610 moves to the lowest position, the distance h2 between the first inclined surface 521 and the second inclined surface 611 is greater than or equal to the convex fall. Here, the "convex fall" is the normal distance from the convex top point of the local convex region to the convex root, as shown in the normal distance A. Figure 2

[0064] According to the above structural description, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 When the upper die seat 100 moves downward, the driving seat 610 of the side pushing mechanism 600 drives the sliding wedge 520 and the vertical insert 510 to move to the side of the L-shaped insert 400. At the same time, the upper die insert 300 moves downward to shape the pipe blank 800.

[0065] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 When the pre-forming die is closed, the forming of the pipe blank is completed, and the radial uniform distribution of the pipe blank material is ensured. After the pipe blank is formed, the upper die seat 100 moves upward, and the driving seat 610 of the side pushing mechanism 600 drives the sliding wedge 520 and the vertical insert 510 to move reversely to the L-shaped insert 400 to open the die. In this way, the workpiece can be easily taken out for circulation, and the pipe blank can be put in again for the next working cycle. The pre-forming die meets the process requirements and can realize batch production.

[0066] The pre-forming die for unilateral side pushing of pipe parts can realize the radial uniform distribution of the pipe blank material in the local region, so as to realize the purpose of left and right piece splicing production of the product, and improve the production efficiency by 50%.

[0067] In summary, the pre-forming die for unilateral side pushing of pipe parts can realize the radial uniform distribution of the pipe blank material in the local region, so as to meet the purpose of left and right piece splicing production of the product, and improve the production efficiency by 50%, thereby effectively reducing the production cost of the hydraulic forming product.

[0068] The pre-forming die can be continuously improved in the subsequent use process, and finally can be widely applied to the pre-forming die of hydraulic forming.
