The first screw 27 passes upward through the washer ring 13, enters the connecting holes at the four corners of the upper die frame 11, and finally is threadedly connected to the first screw hole block 26 in the upper die pad 10, fixing the upper die 12 to the upper die pad 10. The lower mold frame 20 is also fixed to the lower mold pad 23 in the same way. It is secured to the lower mold 21 by a threaded connection between an inverted first screw 27 and a third screw hole block 31 in the lower mold pad 23. Furthermore, a combination block 24 can be nested at the notch 38 of the lower mold pad 23. The combination block 24 is connected to a second screw hole block 30 on the lower mold base plate 25 by a second screw 32, and is fixed to the lower mold base plate 25 together with the lower mold pad 23. The combination block 24 fills the notch 38 of the lower mold pad 23, which facilitates the support of the lower mold 21.
[0024] The trimming module includes a punch fixing block 15, a punch 16, a trimming die 17, and a trimming pad 18. See the appendix for details. Figure 2 Alternatively, 4. The punch 16 is connected to the lower end of the punch fixing block 15 via connecting screws 29. The punch fixing block 15 is connected to the lower end of the punch fixing block frame 14. The punch fixing block frame 14 is cylindrical, with a radially enlarged protrusion slightly above the center. The lower end of the punch fixing block frame 14 has a cavity to accommodate the punch fixing block 15. Threaded holes are provided on the annular sidewalls. The punch fixing block 15 is locked by vertically screwing in the locking bolts 28. The trimming die 17 is set on the trimming pad 18. The trimming pad 18 has a through hole in the center, and rectangular grooves distributed in an equilateral triangle pattern are provided outward from the through hole. Connecting holes are provided at the four corners. Fastening blocks 19 are vertically arranged in the rectangular grooves, surrounding the trimming die 17. Fastening bolts 34 are vertically connected to the fastening blocks 19. Tightening the fastening bolts 34 simultaneously locks the trimming die 17. When performing the trimming operation, the punch fixing block frame 14 can be connected to the upper die pad 10 by the long screw 22, and the third screw 33 can be threaded to the third screw hole block 31 in the lower die pad 23 to fix the trimming die 17 on the lower die pad 23.
[0025] The operating principle of this utility model is as follows: First, four first screw hole blocks 26 are installed in the upper die pad 10, and the upper die pad 10 is fixed to the press worktable with an arc-shaped pressure plate. Four second screw hole blocks 30 are installed in the lower die base plate 25, and the lower die base plate 25 is also fixed to the press worktable with an arc-shaped pressure plate. If edge trimming is required, the punch fixing block frame 14 is connected to the upper die pad 10, and then the punch 16 and the punch fixing block 15 are connected together, with the punch fixing block 15 connected to the lower end of the punch fixing block frame 14. Four third screw hole blocks 31 are installed in the lower die pad 23, and the second screws 32 are tightened to the first screw hole blocks 26 in the lower die base plate 25, and then the third screws 33 are tightened to the third screw hole blocks 31 in the lower die pad 23 to fix the edge trimming pad 18. Place the trimming die 17 on the trimming pad 18, insert the fastening block 19, and tighten the locking bolt 28 on the fastening block 19. After installation, place the blank 43 to be trimmed on the trimming die 17, start the press, and the worktable on the press will drive the punch 16 to move downward quickly. The punch 16 applies pressure to the blank 43, and the trimming die 17 removes the excess flash. The trimmed part passes through the hollow part between the trimming die 17 and the trimming pad 18 and falls into the notch 38 of the lower die pad 23, completing the trimming.
[0026] When forging is required, remove the punch 16, punch fixing block 15, punch fixing block frame 14, trimming die 17, and trimming pad 18. Install the upper die 12 into the upper die frame 11, connect the upper die frame 11 to the upper die pad 10, insert the assembly block 24 into the notch 38 of the lower die pad 23, and tighten it with screws 32. Then install the lower die 21 into the lower die frame 20, connect the lower die frame 20 to the lower die pad 23, and forging can then be performed. During forging, heat the raw material bar to be forged to a suitable temperature using a medium-frequency furnace, then quickly place it into the die cavity of the lower die 21. Start the press, and the upper worktable of the press will drive the upper die to move downward quickly, closing with the lower die to complete the forging action.
