Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molding die technology, and in particular to a round product shaping die. Background Technology
[0002] After stretch forming, round cap products often experience a loss of roundness at the opening. This loss becomes more pronounced as the diameter of the product increases. Factors contributing to this loss of roundness include raw material thickness, flange clearance, and product thinning rate. Additionally, internal stress after forming causes the product to spring back when the mold is opened, which is another significant factor contributing to the loss of roundness at the opening.
[0003] In the existing forming mold structure, when the upper mold base moves downward, the mandrel moves downward into the punch under the action of the upper mold base. The punch (multi-lobed) expands outward evenly along the limiting direction. As the punch expands outward, it contacts the product and cooperates with the die to round the product. When the mold opens, the upper mold base begins to move upward, and the mandrel moves upward with the upper mold base. The mandrel and the punch gradually separate, and the punch loses its driving force. Meanwhile, the nitrogen spring, which is in a compressed state when the mold closes, begins to provide top pressure to the punch, causing the punch to retract evenly and return to its initial state.
[0004] However, if the diameter of an out-of-round product varies greatly and is uneven, exceeding the tolerance range required by the product, it will result in the product not being able to be placed initially, making it difficult to remove after shaping, and the dimensions after rectification are also difficult to guarantee. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a round product shaping mold to ensure the shaping effect of round products and improve the convenience of placing and removing parts in the mold.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A round product forming mold includes a lower mold base and an upper mold base. The lower mold base is provided with a guide plate and a fixed seat. The guide plate has several radial guide grooves. The upper surface of the guide plate is provided with a punch corresponding to each radial guide groove. Each punch is provided with a guide block that slides within the radial guide groove. The upper mold base is provided with a mandrel that drives each punch to expand outward. The fixed seat is located on the outer ring of the guide plate. The upper surface of the fixed seat is provided with a guide seat corresponding to each punch. A slider is provided between each guide seat and the punch. The slider and the guide seat are inclined and engaged. The upper mold base is provided with a top post that drives each slider downward and retracts towards the guide plate. The slider and the punch cooperate to apply pressure to the product to be formed.
[0008] As an alternative, a first return spring is installed on the fixed base facing the punch, and the first return spring is used to apply an inward contraction force to each punch.
[0009] As an alternative, a positioning block is provided on the guide block, and the first return spring abuts against the positioning block.
[0010] As an alternative, a pressure plate is provided on the lower surface of the guide block, which is used to prevent the guide block from dislodging from the radial guide groove.
[0011] As an alternative, a second return spring is installed on the mounting base facing the slider, which is used to apply an upward force to each slider.
[0012] As an optional solution, the slider and the guide seat are also connected by a dovetail joint.
[0013] As an alternative, six punches, guide seats, sliders, and ejector pins are provided, and the mandrel is a hexagonal prism shape that mates with the inclined surfaces of the six punches.
[0014] As an alternative, the upper mold base and the lower mold base are connected by guide pillars and guide sleeves.
[0015] As an alternative, limit posts are provided on both the upper and lower mold bases, and the limit posts of the upper mold base abut against the limit posts of the lower mold base when the mold is closed.
[0016] As an alternative, a lower support plate is provided below the lower mold base, and a pad is provided between the lower support plate and the lower mold base.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This round product forming mold changes the original forming structure of the die and punch. It features a specially designed punch and slider, which allows the punch to retract inward and the slider to expand outward in the mold-open state, leaving enough space for placing and removing the part. In the mold-closed state, the punch and slider squeeze against each other, thus forming out-of-round products. This can improve product quality in a short period of time and ensure that the product dimensions meet the standards and remain stable after rectification. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a round product forming mold, including a lower mold base 1 and an upper mold base 2. The lower mold base 1 is provided with a guide plate 3 and a fixed base 4. The guide plate 3 is provided with a plurality of radial guide grooves 5. The upper surface of the guide plate 3 is provided with a punch 6 corresponding to each radial guide groove 5. Each punch 6 is provided with a guide block 7 that slides in the radial guide groove 5. The upper mold base 2 is provided with a mandrel 8 that drives each punch 6 to expand outward. The fixed base 4 is located on the outer ring of the guide plate 3. The upper surface of the fixed base 4 is provided with a guide seat 9 corresponding to each punch 6. Each guide seat 9 and punch 6 is provided with a slider 10. The slider 10 and the guide seat 9 are inclinedly engaged. The upper mold base 2 is provided with a top post 11 that drives each slider 10 downward and retracts towards the guide plate 3. The slider 10 and the punch 6 cooperate to apply pressure to the product to be formed.
[0030] Therefore, the original forming structure of the die-concave mold was changed, and a special structure of the punch 6 and slider 10 was designed. In the mold-open state, the punch 6 retracts inward and the slider 10 expands outward, leaving enough space for placing and removing parts. In the mold-closed state, the punch 6 and slider 10 squeeze each other to form out-of-round products. This can improve product quality in a short period of time and ensure that the product dimensions meet the standards and are stable after rectification.
[0031] Optionally, a first return spring 12 facing the punch 6 is installed on the fixed base 4. The first return spring 12 is used to give each punch 6 an inward contraction force.
[0032] Therefore, the first reset spring 12 automatically pushes the punch 6 inward when the mold is opened, ensuring accurate mold reset, improving operating efficiency, and facilitating material feeding and unloading operations.
[0033] Furthermore, a positioning block 13 is provided on the guide block 7, and the first reset spring 12 abuts against the positioning block 13 to realize the reset drive of the punch 6.
[0034] Furthermore, a pressure plate 14 is provided on the lower surface of the guide block 7. The pressure plate 14 is used to restrict the guide block 7 from being dislodged from the radial guide groove 5, ensuring that the punch 6 can only reciprocate along the radial guide groove 5.
[0035] Optionally, a second return spring 15 facing the slider 10 is installed on the fixed base 4. The second return spring 15 is used to give each slider 10 an upward pushing force.
[0036] Therefore, the second reset spring 15 automatically pushes the slider 10 up the inclined surface of the guide seat 9 when the mold is opened, ensuring that the slider 10 quickly resets and separates from the punch 6 when the mold is opened, avoiding jamming, and facilitating the placement and removal of parts.
[0037] Optionally, the slider 10 and the guide seat 9 are also connected by a dovetail joint. This dovetail joint ensures accurate alignment between the slider 10 and the guide seat 9, guaranteeing accurate displacement of the slider 10 and further improving shaping accuracy and stability.
[0038] Specifically, there are six punches 6, guide seats 9, sliders 10 and ejector pins 11, and the mandrel 8 is a hexagonal prism shape that mates with the inclined surfaces of the six punches 6.
[0039] Optionally, the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 1 are connected by guide pillars 16 and guide sleeves 17.
[0040] Therefore, the precise cooperation between the guide post 16 and the guide sleeve 17 ensures accurate alignment between the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 1, improves the overall stability of the mold, extends its service life, and further guarantees the product shaping effect.
[0041] Optionally, limit posts 18 are provided on the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 1 respectively, and the limit posts 18 of the upper mold base 2 abut against the limit posts 18 of the lower mold base 1 when the mold is closed.
[0042] Therefore, by having the upper and lower limit posts 18 abut against each other, the mold closing accuracy is ensured, excessive extrusion is prevented, the mold and product are further protected, and the safety and reliability of the overall operation are improved.
[0043] Optionally, a lower support plate 19 is provided below the lower mold base 1, and a pad 20 is provided between the lower support plate 19 and the lower mold base 1.
[0044] Therefore, by adjusting the height of the lower mold base 1 using the pad 20, it is ensured that the mold can be accurately aligned with workpieces of different heights, and the support strength of the lower mold base 1 is improved, thereby further enhancing molding accuracy and product quality.
[0045] Specific work process:
[0046] 1) When the mold is in the open state, the mandrel 8 is located above the multi-lobed punch 6. Each punch 6 is in the inward state under the force of the first return spring 12, and the slider 10 is in the outward and lifted state under the force of the second return spring 15. The gap between the inward punch 6 and the outward slider 10 can be used to place out-of-round round products, so that there is enough space for easy placement of parts.
[0047] 2) During the mold closing process, as the upper mold base 2 moves downward, the mandrel 8 enters the center of each punch 6 and begins to cooperate with the inclined surface of each punch 6; the upper mold base 2 continues to move downward, and each punch 6 is driven by the mandrel 8 to expand outward along the radial guide groove 5. At this time, the first return spring 12 is compressed by the positioning block 13 installed on the punch 6, and the slider 10 is driven by the ejector pin 11 to retract and move downward along the cooperation inclined surface of the guide seat 9. At the same time, the second return spring 15 is compressed by the pressure of the slider 10; as the punch 6 expands outward and the slider 10 retracts inward, the round product achieves the effect of correcting the out-of-roundness under the pressure of the punch 6 and the slider 10. The final position of the punch 6 and the slider 10 stops due to the contact of the limiting pin 18.
[0048] 3) After the shaping is completed, the mold is opened again. The upper mold base 2 begins to lift, and the mandrel 8 begins to move upward with the upper mold base 2. The punch 6 begins to move back to the initial inward state under the force of the first return spring 12. The ejector 11 also moves upward with the upper mold base 2. The second return spring 15, which is in a compressed state, begins to apply ejection force to the slider 10. The slider 10 returns to the outward expansion and ejection initial position, which is convenient for removing the part. The shaping process is now complete.
