Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold manufacturing technology, specifically to a tapered guide and buffer device for trimming and punching molds. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mold manufacturing technology, trimming and punching is a crucial step in achieving high-precision product processing, placing high demands on the guiding accuracy of the mold and the stability of the mold closing process. In existing trimming and punching processes, the control of the clearance between the upper and lower dies and the buffering treatment during mold closing directly affect the processing accuracy of the product and the service life of the mold.
[0003] Traditional molds have significant shortcomings in guiding and cushioning, especially under complex working conditions. The design of the guiding structure often fails to meet the requirements of high-precision fitting, leading to deviations during trimming and punching, which affects product quality. At the same time, due to the lack of effective cushioning devices, the mold is subjected to a large impact force during mold closing, which can easily cause wear or even damage to the mold surface, thereby shortening the mold's service life and increasing production costs.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a conical guide and buffer device for trimming and punching dies is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model discloses a tapered guide and buffer device for a trimming and punching die, comprising a tapered guide punch 1, a buffer block 2, a lower die 3, a tapered guide die 4, a pressure plate 5, and an upper die 6. The fit and operation of these components and their working principle in actual production will be described in detail below.
[0031] Four conical guide punches 1 are used in the mold, each installed in a key location on the lower mold 3. The lower mold 3, as the foundation of the entire mold, has its upper surface treated with high-precision surface grinding, with a flatness error not exceeding 0.01mm, to ensure assembly accuracy with other components. Mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the lower mold 3 for fixing the mold buffer blocks 2. The conical guide punches 1 are fixed to the lower mold 3 with bolts; their installation positions are precisely calculated to ensure accurate alignment of the upper and lower molds during mold closing. The cone angle of the conical guide punches 1 ranges from 30° to 60°, a design that ensures stability and accuracy during the guiding process. Figure 2 As shown, the conical guide block punch 1 and the conical guide block die 4 form a conical fit. Their contact surfaces are precision machined to ensure 100% contact area during mold closing, thus reducing the deviation in the upper and lower mold clearance. There are also four conical guide block dies 4, mounted on the upper mold pressure plate 5, with their installation positions corresponding to the conical guide block punch 1, ensuring precise alignment during mold closing. The cone angle of the conical guide block die 4 is consistent with that of the conical guide block punch 1, and its inner surface is hardened to a hardness range of HRC55 to HRC60 to improve wear resistance and extend service life.
[0032] Four mold buffer blocks 2 are installed at the four corners of the lower mold 3 to buffer the impact force during mold closing. The mold buffer blocks 2 are made of elastic material with an elastic modulus ranging from 5MPa to 20MPa to accommodate different closing forces. The height of the mold buffer blocks 2 is adjustable and fixed to the lower mold 3 via a threaded connection, allowing for easy adjustment of the height according to actual production needs and thus optimizing the buffering effect. The top of the mold buffer block 2 has an arc-shaped contact surface that matches the bottom plane of the pressure plate 5 to increase the contact area and disperse the closing impact force. In actual production, the height of the mold buffer blocks 2 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut on the outside of the buffer block, with an adjustment accuracy of 0.1mm, ensuring controllable buffering effect.
[0033] The pressure plate 5 is located below the upper mold and connected to the tapered guide block die 4. During the trimming and punching operation, it moves downwards and contacts the mold buffer block 2 to cushion the mold closing process. The bottom plane of the pressure plate 5 is hardened to a hardness range of HRC50 to HRC60 to improve its wear resistance. The thickness of the pressure plate 5 is designed to be evenly distributed to avoid deformation due to stress concentration. Guide grooves are provided around the pressure plate 5 to cooperate with the guide pillars of the upper mold 6, ensuring the stability of the pressure plate 5 during its downward movement. The width of the guide grooves matches the diameter of the guide pillars, and their inner surfaces are chrome-plated to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. A certain gap is reserved between the bottom plane of the pressure plate 5 and the arc-shaped contact surface of the mold buffer block 2. The size of this gap is adjusted according to the magnitude of the mold closing force to ensure optimal cushioning effect.
[0034] The upper die 6 is located at the top of the entire mold and works in conjunction with the lower die 3 to complete the trimming and punching processes. The bottom of the upper die 6 has four guide pillars, each matching the guide groove of the pressure plate 5. The outer surface of the guide pillars is chrome-plated to improve their wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The top of the upper die 6 has a mounting interface for connecting to the press's drive unit, ensuring efficient power transmission during operation. The mounting interface of the upper die 6 uses a standard thread design for easy compatibility with different types of presses.
[0035] Working Principle: The upper mold 6 begins its descent, and the conical guide block punch 1 and conical guide block die 4 first come into contact, guiding the upper and lower molds to achieve precise fit through the conical structure. At this point, the contact area between the conical guide block punch 1 and the conical guide block die 4 reaches 100%, ensuring the fit clearance between the upper and lower molds is controlled within ±0.02mm. The pressure plate 5 continues to descend with the upper mold 6 until its bottom plane contacts the top arc-shaped contact surface of the mold buffer block 2. During this process, the guide groove of the pressure plate 5 and the guide post of the upper mold 6 maintain a tight fit, ensuring the stable and unbiased movement trajectory of the pressure plate 5. The mold buffer block 2 buffers the impact force of mold closing, while the pressure plate 5 continues to apply pressure until the mold is fully closed. The elastic deformation of the mold buffer block 2 is adjusted according to the magnitude of the mold closing force to ensure optimal buffering effect. After completing the trimming and punching process, the upper mold 6 returns, the pressure plate 5 separates from the mold buffer block 2, and the mold returns to its initial state. Throughout the entire process, the cooperative design of the conical guide block punch 1 and the conical guide block die 4 significantly improved the accuracy of trimming and punching, while the design of the mold buffer block 2 effectively reduced the damage to the mold caused by the mold closing impact force.
