Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 2-7 A stamping and flanging structure for automotive parts includes an upper die fixture 1 and a lower die fixture 3 arranged opposite to each other. The product to be flanged is placed on the lower die fixture 3. The upper die fixture 1 is detachably connected to an external stamping device to move toward or away from the lower die fixture 3 to achieve the stamping and flanging operation. The connection between the upper die fixture 1 and the stamping device is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0032] Reference Figure 4-7The upper mold fixture 1 includes an upper mold base 11, a spring-loaded component 12, a concave template 13, a flanging concave mold insert 14, and an ejector block 15. The concave template 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the upper mold base 11 facing the lower mold fixture 3 by welding or bolting. At least one flanging concave mold insert 14, which plays a positioning and supporting role in the mold, is embedded in the concave template 13. The ejector block 15 is slidably disposed between the upper mold base 11 and the flanging concave mold insert 14. The spring-loaded component 12 is installed on the side of the upper mold base 11 away from the lower mold fixture 3, and the number of spring-loaded components corresponds to the number of flanging concave mold inserts 14. The spring-loaded component 12 has a spring-loaded part connected to the ejector block 15 to realize the pressing and ejection of the ejector block 15. In this embodiment, two flanging die inserts 14 are preferably installed, which can simultaneously realize the stamping and flanging operations of two products, which is convenient and fast. The spring pressure component 12 adopts a nitrogen spring, which provides stable spring pressure by storing and releasing high-pressure nitrogen, and effectively balances the pressure inside the die through the spring pressure, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the flanging process. After stamping, the scrap is ejected immediately to prevent the scrap from getting stuck in the die, ensuring the normal operation of the die and extending its service life. At the same time, the nitrogen spring has a fast response and can complete compression and rebound in a short time, adapting to the production needs of high-speed continuous stamping, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper mold base 11 is provided with a sliding hole 111 for the ejector block 15 to slide. The swivel die insert 14 has a swivel groove 141 that is coaxially arranged and connected with the sliding hole 111. The inner diameter of the swivel groove 141 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sliding hole 111, thus forming a stepped structure. The ejector block 15 is composed of a limiting part 151 and an ejector part 152 that are coaxially integrally formed. The outer diameter of the limiting part 151 is equal to the inner diameter of the sliding hole 111, and the outer diameter of the ejector part 152 is equal to the inner diameter of the swivel groove 141. The limiting part 151 is located at the end of the ejector part 152 that is away from the lower mold base 31. Thus, while the ejector block 15 is ejected, the sliding of the ejector block 15 can be limited by the stepped section formed between the swivel groove 141 and the sliding hole 111.

[0034] Furthermore, an upper mold foot 2 is welded and fixed on the side of the upper mold base 11 away from the lower mold tooling 3, and a spring-loaded component 12 is embedded in the upper mold foot 2.

[0035] Reference Figures 4-9The lower die fixture 3 includes a lower die base 31, a punch base 32, a piercing punch 33, and an ejector plate 34. The punch base 32 is fixedly installed on the side of the lower die base 31 facing the upper die base 11, and the number corresponds to the number of piercing die inserts 14. The piercing punch 33 has a large-scale draft slope transition structure and is detachably installed on the side of the punch base 32 facing the upper die base 11. Specifically, the piercing punch 33 is inserted into the punch base 32 and fixed by bolts to form a quick-release mechanism. The structure can be changed so that the piercing punch 33 can be quickly changed without disassembling the mold; the top plate 34 is lifted and installed on the lower mold base 31, the punch base 32 and the piercing punch 33 pass through the top plate 34. When the top plate 34 is at its highest position, the piercing punch 33 is located inside the top plate 34. When the top plate 34 is lowered, the piercing punch 33 protrudes out of the top plate 34 and can then extend into the piercing die insert 14 with the pressure drop of the upper mold base 11 to realize the piercing operation.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the piercing punch 33 facing the upper die base 11 is integrally formed with an inlet portion 331. The diameter of the inlet portion 331 is smaller than the diameter of the product to be pierced. The inlet portion 331 is provided with a large taper draft angle. The draft angle on the inlet portion 331 transitions with the chamfer of the piercing punch 33. When the piercing punch 33 introduces the product, it can realize the chamfering function of the stamped part piercing, and at the same time, it transitions to the piercing R, thereby ensuring that the stamped part does not crack after piercing.

[0037] Furthermore, a lower backing plate 4 is welded or bolted to the side of the lower mold base 31 facing the upper mold base 11. A lower fixing plate 5 is welded or bolted to the side of the lower backing plate 4 away from the lower mold base 31. The punch base 32 passes through the lower fixing plate 5 and is fixed to the lower backing plate 4 by covering it with the lower fixing plate 5. The ejector plate 34 is raised and lowered on the side of the lower fixing plate 5 away from the lower mold base 31. Multiple ejector rods 6 are provided on the side of the ejector plate 34 facing the lower fixing plate 5. The multiple ejector rods 6 pass through the lower fixing plate 5, the lower backing plate 4 and the lower mold base 31 in sequence.

[0038] Furthermore, at least one inner guide post 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower fixed plate 5. The inner guide post 7 passes through the top material plate 34. The concave template 13 is provided with a guide groove (not shown in the figure) that matches the inner guide post 7. The inner guide post 7 and the guide groove can play a preliminary guiding role in the stamping of the upper die tooling 1 and the lower die tooling 3.

[0039] Reference Figures 3-7 A guide assembly 8 is also installed between the upper die holder 11 and the lower die holder 31 to further ensure the stability and accuracy of the stamping of the upper die fixture 1 and the lower die fixture 3.

[0040] The guide assembly 8 includes an outer guide post 81 and an outer guide sleeve 82. Multiple outer guide posts 81 and outer guide sleeves 82 are correspondingly provided. The outer guide post 81 is welded and fixed to the side of the lower die base 31 facing the upper die base 11. The outer guide sleeve 82 is welded and fixed or bolted to the side of the upper die base 11 facing the lower die base 31. The outer guide post 81 passes through the outer guide sleeve 82 and the upper die base 11. Thus, the cooperation between the outer guide post 81 and the outer guide sleeve 82 further guides the stamping of the upper die fixture 1 and the lower die fixture 3.

[0041] The working principle of the stamping and flanging structure for automotive parts of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] In this embodiment, the piercing punch 33 and the punch holder 32 together form the punch part.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 When the mold opens, the ejector plate 34 is pushed away from the lower fixed plate 5 by the ejector force of the ejector rod 6, and the product to be turned is positioned on the ejector plate 34 by the turning punch 33, ready for turning. At the same time, the upper mold ejector block 15 is in the ejection position under the ejection action of the nitrogen spring of the spring pressure component 12.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 As the upper die moves downward, the outer guide post 81 is inserted into the outer guide sleeve 82, and the piercing punch 33 presses the punch to be pierced into the piercing die insert 14. The ejector block 15 moves upward under the pushing force of the piercing punch 33, and the upper die continues to press down until the die plate 13 and the ejector plate 34 are stuck together, completing the piercing action.

[0045] Reference Figure 7 After the hole is turned over, as the upper die moves upward, the ejector block 15 is ejected from the turned-over stamping part by the nitrogen spring of the spring-loaded component 12 and continues to move upward, and the outer guide post 81 disengages from the outer guide sleeve 82. After the upper and lower dies are completely separated, the ejector pushes out of the ejector plate 34 to complete the stripping action.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model in any form or substance. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and additions without departing from this utility model, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model. Any modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model using the disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any modifications, alterations, and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
