Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive rear floor production mold technology, and in particular to an automotive rear floor trimming and punching mold. Background Technology

[0002] The stamping process for the rear floor of a car is a crucial step in automobile manufacturing. It involves the combined action of molds and presses to plastically deform a sheet metal into the shape of the rear floor. Subsequent processes include trimming, punching, flanging, shaping, side punching, and side trimming to ensure the final product meets the required standards and guarantees its quality and performance.

[0003] The trimming process primarily removes excess edge material after stamping, resulting in a smoother, more even edge. The punching process involves punching various holes into the rear floor of the vehicle according to design requirements for connection, fixing, or other functional needs. Traditionally, trimming, punching, and other processes are completed using dedicated molds and stamping equipment, leading to long processing times, poor production continuity, and higher equipment investment. Existing technologies offer composite molds for rear floor processing, integrating processes such as flanging and trimming into a single mold for improved efficiency. While existing technologies also provide composite molds for trimming and punching, their complex designs result in high manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0011] A pair of punching guide blocks and a pair of punching dies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower material support structure. The punching guide blocks have inclined surfaces, which cooperate with the inclined wedges of the corresponding punching modules to make the punching punch fall into the punching die to complete punching at a certain angle.

[0012] Several lower trimming blades are set at the edge of the lower material support structure, corresponding to each upper trimming blade.

[0013] Furthermore, the wedge side of the punching module is provided with a hook, and the side of the punching guide block is provided with a reset strip. When the mold is opened, the hook part of the hook is subjected to force and retracts along the reset strip, which assists the punching module in retraction.

[0014] Furthermore, a clearance gap is reserved between the two sides of the lower support structure and the lower mold base, and the downward-extending portions of the upper pressure plate fall into the clearance gap when the mold is closed.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes several coarse positioning components, which are set around the lower support structure for coarse positioning of the outer edge of the rear floor workpiece.

[0016] Furthermore, the coarse positioning component includes a connecting section and a guide section. The connecting section has a waist hole and is connected to the lower mold base by bolts, allowing for front-to-back position adjustment. The guide section has an arc-shaped surface.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes several precision positioning components, which are set on some of the material support blocks for precision positioning inside the rear floor workpiece.

[0018] Furthermore, guide rods are provided on both sides of the lower mold base, and corresponding guide holes are provided on the upper mold base.

[0019] Furthermore, shock-absorbing components are provided on both sides of the lower mold base at positions higher than the guide rod, and the upper mold base is provided with corresponding contact protrusions.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower die base is provided with several downwardly inclined scrap chutes at both ends. The scrap chutes are divided into primary scrap chutes and secondary scrap chutes. The upper end of the primary scrap chutes extends to below the trimming or punching position and connects with the lower die base. The secondary scrap chutes are located below one or more primary scrap chutes and are used to receive the trimming or punching scrap falling from the primary scrap chutes.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a trimming and punching die for automotive rear floor are:

[0022] 1. Integrating the trimming and punching processes into the mold reduces the number of mold changes and workpiece transfers, which shortens the production cycle and reduces the cost of mold manufacturing and maintenance.
