[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] A strip die for a continuous die for a nut plate includes a lower die structure and an upper die structure. The lower die structure includes a lower die base 1, and a lower pad plate 11, a lower template 12, a lower guide plate 13 and a concave die panel 14 are sequentially arranged on the top of the lower die base 1. The upper die structure includes an upper die base 2, and an upper pad plate 21 and an upper template 22 are sequentially arranged on the bottom of the upper die base 2.
[0026] The lower die structure and the upper die structure are sequentially provided with a cutting station 3, a stretching station 4, an upsetting station 5, a punching station 6, a trimming station 7, a flanging station 8 and a cutting station 9 along the strip movement direction. A flattening station 23 is provided between the cutting station 3 and the stretching station 4.
[0027] Both the lower and upper die structures are made of high-carbon steel or alloy steel, which has high strength and toughness. The upper die structure is equipped with dies for stretching and upsetting, punches for punching, trimming, flanging and cutting. The lower die is equipped with punches for stretching and upsetting, as well as dies for cutting, trimming, flanging, punching and cutting. The workstations are arranged in sequence according to the strip material's travel direction: cutting → flattening → stretching → upsetting → punching → trimming → flanging → cutting. By optimizing the workstation sequence, the flattening workstation 23 is set between the cutting workstation 3 and the stretching workstation 4, which can eliminate local warping of the strip material after cutting and avoid uneven wall thickness caused by uneven material during stretching. The continuous workstations realize the whole process from blank to finished product, reduce material turnover, realize integrated layout, ensure uniform material thickness, and improve processing efficiency and surface quality.
[0028] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the cutting station 3 is provided in two sets. The cutting station 3 includes a cutting punch 31 and a cutting die 32. The cutting punch 31 is set on the upper template 22, and the cutting die 32 is installed on the die panel 14. By setting two sets of cutting stations 3, material removal is completed in stages, reducing the single punching force and effectively extending the service life of the mold.
[0029] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the stretching station 4 is arranged in eight groups at equal intervals. The stretching station 4 includes a stretching die 41 and a stretching punch 42. The stretching die 41 is set on the upper template 22, and the stretching punch 42 is set on the die panel 14. By gradually increasing the depth through eight stretching operations, the material breakage caused by one-time molding can be effectively avoided. The eighth stretching station 4 plays a shaping role, which aims to eliminate the elastic deformation of the previous stretching and reduce tolerance.
[0030] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the upsetting station 5 is provided with four sets. The upsetting station 5 includes an upsetting die 51 and an upsetting punch 52. The upsetting die 51 is set on the upper template 22, and the upsetting punch 52 is set on the die panel 14. By gradually extruding the material through multiple stations, it is possible to effectively avoid the die chipping caused by excessive upsetting force in a single operation.
[0031] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the punching station 6 is located between the first and second groups of the four upsetting stations 5. The punching station 6 includes a punching punch 61 and a punching die 62. The punching punch 61 is located on the upper template 22, and the punching die 62 is located on the die panel 14. By adding punching in the multiple upsetting stations 5, the material hardening effect generated by upsetting can be used to improve the hole wall strength. Moreover, after punching, the subsequent upsetting stations 5 can correct the slight deviation of the hole position caused by material flow.
[0032] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the trimming station 7 includes a trimming punch 71 and a trimming die 72, the trimming punch 71 being disposed on the upper template 22, and the trimming die 72 being disposed on the die panel 14. The flanging station 8 includes a flanging punch 81 and a flanging die 82, the flanging punch 81 being disposed on the upper template 22, and the flanging die 82 being disposed on the die panel 14. The cutting station 9 includes a cutting punch 91 and a cutting die 92, the cutting punch 91 being disposed on the upper template 22, and the cutting die 92 being disposed on the die panel 14.
[0033] The trimming station 7 ensures the smoothness of the edge before flanging, prevents flanging cracks, and cuts off immediately after flanging, which can improve the cross-sectional quality by utilizing the stability of the material after plastic deformation.
[0034] As a possible implementation of this solution, preferably, the cutting station 3, stretching station 4, upsetting station 5, punching station 6, trimming station 7, flanging station 8, cutting station 9 and flattening station 23 are all equipped with demolding mechanisms. The demolding mechanisms can adopt nitrogen spring ejection devices. The demolding mechanisms can prevent the strip material from sticking to the mold locally, which would cause the feeding to get stuck. The spring ejection force is configured differently according to the demolding force requirements of different stations.
[0035] This utility model has been described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein; other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
