DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The specific implementation manner of the present application will be further described in combination with the accompanying drawings:
[0018] As Figure 1As shown, a bending die structure of a metal shielding shell of an electrical connector is composed of a lower die base 1, a stripper plate 2 and an upper die base 3. The stripper plate 2 is located between the upper and lower die bases. A plurality of guide columns 4 are installed on the lower die base 1. The stripper plate 2 and the upper die base 3 move vertically along the guide columns 4. Springs are installed on the guide columns 4 to facilitate stripping and resetting after stamping. A material belt 5 passes between the lower die base and the stripper plate. The lower die base 1 is provided with a positioning and feeding structure of the material belt. The power for moving the upper die base 3 is provided by a punch to realize continuous stamping of the material belt.
[0019] The lower die base 1 includes a bending seat 11 at the middle position and lower material seats 12 at both sides of the width direction of the material belt. A pair of lower material punches 6 and three bending punches 7 are installed on the upper die base 3. The pair of lower material punches 6 correspond to the pair of lower material seats 12. The top end of the lower material punch 6 is in loose fit with the mounting hole of the upper die base 3. The lower material punch 6 is in clearance fit with the corresponding mounting hole on the stripper plate 2. The lower end of the lower material punch 6 is in loose fit with the cutting edge of the lower material seat 12 of the lower die base 1 to form shearing after loose stamping. The clearance between the lower material punch 6 and the lower material seat 12 is smaller than the thickness of the material belt.
[0020] The bending punch 7 is a plate-shaped punch. Three bending punches 7 correspond to three sides of the shielding shell. Adjacent bending punches 7 are perpendicular to each other. The width of the bending punch 7 corresponds to the width of the bending surface of the shell. The head of the bending punch 7 is rotatably supported in the mounting hole of the upper die base 3 through a rotating pin 71. The bending punch 7 is in clearance fit with the corresponding mounting holes on the upper die base 3 and the stripper plate 2. During the stamping and bending process, the bending punch 7 can be slightly displaced to avoid leaving die marks and damaging the bending surface. The bottom side of the bending punch 7 forms a shearing with clearance with the side of the bending seat 11 of the lower die base 1 to realize right-angle bending. The clearance is not less than the thickness of the material belt. An open pin slot is provided on the bottom side of the bending punch. A bending pin 72 is installed in the open pin slot. The outer cylindrical surface of the bending pin 72 is in fit with the bending seat 11 of the lower die base 1. During the bending process, the bending pin 72 can rotate to avoid damaging the bending surface. Considering that the metal will rebound slightly after bending, the side of the bending seat 11 is inclined inward by about 10°. During the bending process, each bending surface is actually bent more than 90° to accommodate the rebound amount.
[0021] In order to correct after bending, a sliding groove 8 corresponding to the three bending punches is provided on the stripper plate. Each bending punch is provided with two sliding grooves 8 distributed along the width direction of the outer side. A sliding block 9 is installed in each sliding groove 8. The sliding block 9 is connected with an inclined support part 10. The bottom end of the inclined support part 10 is provided with a slope surface abutting against the outer side of the bending punch 7. A transmission rod 13 is installed on the upper die base 3. During the downward movement of the upper die base 3, the bottom end of the transmission rod 12 contacts with the sliding block 9 and pushes the inclined support part 10 to press the bending punch 7. The bending punch 7 contacts the bending surface again to realize correction.
[0022] The present technical scheme realizes that the blanking punch 6 is firstly used for blanking, the bending punch 7 is secondly used for bending, and the sliding block finally pushes the bending punch to realize correction through the length settings of the blanking punch 6, the bending punch 7 and the transmission rod 13.
[0023] In order to adjust the correction amount and the time point of correction, an adjusting rod 14 is installed in the upper die seat, the adjusting rod 14 is perpendicular to the transmission rod 13, the end of the adjusting rod 14 is provided with an inclined surface, the inclined surface of the end of the adjusting rod 14 cooperates with the top of the transmission rod, and when the adjusting rod 14 is adjusted along the length direction, the inclined surface extrudes the head of the adjusting rod transmission rod 13 and adjusts the length of the transmission rod 13 to extend, so as to adjust the time and stroke of the adjusting rod 13 pushing the sliding block.
