Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, specifically to a dovetail slider side shaping mold. Background Technology
[0002] For parts with complex configurations, it is usually necessary to feed the strip into the stamping die and use different stamping dies to form the strip into finished parts in steps.
[0003] In stamping die design, lateral forming (such as flanging, rib forming, and partial forming) usually relies on wedge mechanisms or hydraulic side-pushing devices, but traditional solutions have the following problems:
[0004] 1. Due to the angle limitation, the lateral force transmission efficiency of the wedge mechanism is low (only 60%~70%), resulting in fluctuations in the forming dimensions.
[0005] 2: The mold installation space is narrow, and the traditional wedge mechanism is too large or cannot meet the stroke requirements.
[0006] 3: The sliding surface wears quickly (life < 500,000 cycles), and the guide rail is prone to crushing during the forming of high-strength steel.
[0007] 4. Lack of real-time force feedback and adaptive adjustment capabilities, debugging relies on experience.
[0008] Based on this, this utility model designs a dovetail slider side shaping mold to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 A dovetail slider side shaping mold includes an upper mold base 1 and a lower mold base 2 used in conjunction;
[0033] A material strip positioning assembly 4 is installed between the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2, and a first forming assembly and a second forming assembly for step-by-step forming of the part 8 are installed between the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 along the conveying direction of the material strip 7. The first forming assembly and the second forming assembly are each provided in two sets and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the material strip positioning assembly 4, so that the mold of this application has the function of producing two parts at once.
[0034] Both the first forming assembly and the second forming assembly include a main forming assembly 5 and a punching assembly 6. The main forming assembly 5 and the punching assembly 6 are installed between the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2. The main forming assembly 5 is used to form the main body 81 and the flange 82 of the part 8, and the punching assembly 6 is used to perform punching operations on the part 8 simultaneously. The first forming assembly also includes a side shaping assembly 3, which is used to shape the folded edge 83 of the part 8.
[0035] In this invention, the strip 7 and the part 8 are conveyed between the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 and first pass through the first forming assembly. When the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are closed, the main body forming assembly 5 forms the main body 81 and the flange 82 of the part 8. At the same time, the punching assembly 6 performs preliminary punching on the part 8 and the side shaping assembly 3 performs shaping operations on the folded edge 83 of the part 8. Subsequently, the part 8 passes through the second forming assembly. When the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are closed, the main body forming assembly 5 fixes the part 8, and the punching assembly 6 performs punching operations on other parts of the part 8 and enlarges the already formed holes.
[0036] The side shaping component 3 includes a dovetail slider 31, a dovetail fixing seat 32, an elastic ejection component, and a driving component. The dovetail fixing seat 32 is fixedly connected to the lower mold base 2. The dovetail slider 31 is located between the main forming component 5 and the dovetail fixing seat 32 and is slidably connected to the dovetail fixing seat 32. The lower end of the upper mold base 1 is equipped with a driving component for pressing down the dovetail slider 31, and the lower end of the lower mold base 2 is equipped with an elastic ejection component for controlling the resetting of the dovetail slider 31.
[0037] The elastic ejector assembly includes an ejector pin 33 and an ejector pin fixing seat 34. The ejector pin fixing seat 34 is fixedly connected to the lower mold base 2. The upper end of the ejector pin fixing seat 34 is slidably connected to the ejector pin 33. An elastic element is installed inside the ejector pin fixing seat 34. The upper and lower ends of the elastic element are fixedly connected to the ejector pin 33 and the ejector pin fixing seat 34, respectively. The elastic element can be a compression spring. The upper end of the ejector pin 33 abuts against the lower end of the dovetail slider 31.
[0038] The driving assembly includes a driving block 35, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the upper mold base 1. The driving block 35 is used to press down the dovetail slider 31.
[0039] When the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are closed, the driving pressure block 35 presses down the dovetail slider 31, causing the dovetail slider 31 to slide along the dovetail fixing seat 32, so that the side of the dovetail slider 31 is pushed towards the main body forming component 5, thereby achieving the shaping effect of the folded edge 83 of the part 8. In addition, the dovetail slider 31 presses the ejector pin 33 into the ejector pin fixing seat 34. When the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are separated, the elastic element pushes the ejector pin 33, so that the ejector pin 33 drives the dovetail slider 31 to reset, releasing the folded edge 83 of the part 8.
[0040] The angle between the sliding surfaces of the dovetail slider 31 and the dovetail fixing seat 32 and the horizontal plane is the critical value of the friction angle, specifically between 55 and 60 degrees. The inclined plane self-locking effect can suppress the slider backing caused by lateral force, ensuring the stability of the shaping force. At the same time, it effectively reduces the overall size of the dovetail slider 31 and the dovetail fixing seat 32, so that they can be installed in narrow spaces and meet the stroke requirements.
[0041] The main molding component 5 includes an upper concave block 51, an upper protrusion 52, a lower protrusion 53 and a lower concave block 54. The upper concave block 51 and the upper protrusion 52 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the upper mold base 1, and the lower protrusion 53 and the lower concave block 54 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the lower mold base 2. The upper concave block 51 and the lower protrusion 53 cooperate with the flange 82 of the molding part 8.
[0042] The punching component 6 of the first forming component includes a pressure pin 62, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the upper mold base 1. Multiple pressure pins 62 are distributed along the length of the upper mold base 1. The pressure pins 62 are used to press and fix the body 81 of the part 8 onto the recessed block 54.
[0043] The punching component 6 of the second forming component includes a reaming punch 63 and a forming punch 61. The reaming punch 63 is used to ream the holes on the body 81 of the part 8, and the forming punch 61 is used to directly form other holes on the body 81 of the part 8.
[0044] The lower die base 2 is provided with multiple blanking grooves that correspond one-to-one with the expanding punch 63 and the forming punch 61 and are inserted into each other, for discharging punching waste.
[0045] The strip positioning assembly 4 includes a strip support block 41, a strip pressing block 42, pressing pins 43, strip positioning pins 44, and strip positioning holes 45. The strip support block 41 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the lower mold base 2, and the strip pressing block 42 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the upper mold base 1. Multiple pressing pins 43 for pressing the strip 7 onto the strip support block 41 are fixedly installed on the strip pressing block 42 along the length of the strip pressing block 42. Multiple strip positioning pins 44 are also fixedly installed on the strip pressing block 42. The strip support block 41 has strip positioning holes 45 that correspond one-to-one with the strip positioning pins 44 and are inserted into each other. The strip positioning pins 44 are tapered.
[0046] In this utility model, when the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2 are closed, the material strip 7 is positioned by the material strip positioning pin 44 and the material strip positioning hole 45 in conjunction with the hole on the material strip 7, and the material strip 7 is pressed and fixed on the material strip support block 41 by the pressure pin 43 to prevent the position of the material strip 7 from shifting; when the part 8 passes through the first forming component, the main body 81 is pressed and fixed by the pressure pin 62, and when it passes through the second forming component, the already formed hole is enlarged by the hole enlarging punch 63, and at the same time, the forming punch 64 forms holes in other parts of the main body 81.
[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
