Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic press stamping, and in particular to a locking nut small end face torque point mold and system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, many domestic manufacturers use large-tonnage stamping presses (such as 80-ton presses) with simple stamping dies, or small benchtop hydraulic presses (such as 5-ton / 10-ton presses) with split dies for twist point pressing. Both methods heavily rely on the press stroke to control the twist point depth. However, the stroke control of existing technologies is inherently inaccurate and fluctuates greatly; coupled with the difficulty in ensuring absolute accuracy and verticality of the position each time the die is placed and adjusted manually, this leads to two key problems: firstly, the twist point depth is inconsistent between batches of products; and secondly, the twist point position is prone to skewness.
[0003] The direct consequence of these two process defects is a very large fluctuation range in the torque value of the nut. This is because even slight differences in the depth and position of the torque point directly determine the torque performance. Unstable torque directly increases the defect rate, causing significant quality and economic losses.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a locking nut small end face torque point mold and system that is easy to operate and has high riveting accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a locking nut small end face torque point mold and system.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a locking nut small end face torque point mold, including a base, on which a pressure point assembly and a touch-sensitive spring-loaded assembly are spaced apart; the pressure point assembly includes a lower mold base, in which a pressure point cutter block is provided, and a mold core is slidably sleeved on the outside of the pressure point cutter block, and a pressure rod is provided on the mold core; the touch-sensitive spring-loaded assembly includes a support bend plate, on which a contact sensor that can cooperate with the pressure rod is detachably connected.
[0007] Preferably, the lower mold base is provided with at least one set of guide grooves that cooperate with the pressure rod, one end of the pressure rod is screwed to the mold core, and the other end extends out of the lower mold base through the guide groove.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the lower mold base is provided with a radially extending limiting boss.

These terms are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific manner. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a locking nut small end face torque-pressing mold includes a base 1. In this embodiment, the base 1 serves as the mounting foundation, on which a pressing point assembly 11 and a touch-sensitive spring-loaded assembly 12 are spaced apart. The pressing point assembly 11 includes a lower mold base 111, which is generally hollow tubular and has a skirt 111c at the bottom for screwing to the base 1. The lower mold base 111 contains a pressing point cutter block 112 with a non-circular cross-section, which is coaxially arranged with the lower mold base 111. In this embodiment, the pressing point cutter block 112 has a regular hexagonal cross-section. The design of the regular hexagonal pressing point cutter block 112 effectively avoids tool rotation while its six corners form natural cutting edges, making stress concentration more precise during pressing. A sliding cavity is formed between the outer wall of the pressure-pointing cutter block 112 and the inner wall of the lower die base 111. A die core 113 is slidably sleeved on the pressure-pointing cutter block 112, and a pressure rod 114 is provided on the die core 113. The pressure rod 114 can slide up and down along the pressure-pointing cutter block 112 within the sliding cavity with the die core 113. In this embodiment, the sliding fit is a clearance fit. The touch-sensitive rebound assembly 12 includes a support bend plate 121. The support bend plate 121 serves as a mounting base, on which a contact sensor 122 that can cooperate with the pressure rod 114 is detachably connected. By setting the contact sensor 122 and electrically connecting it to the punch press (not shown in the figure), when the pressure rod 114 contacts the contact sensor 122, it proves that the riveting is in place. At this time, the contact sensor 122 feeds back the signal to the punch press, thereby stopping the stroke. In this embodiment, the detachable connection is a screw connection. Other similar connection methods such as snap-fit or magnetic connection can also be used in other embodiments. The detachable connection design allows the height of the contact sensor 122 to be adjusted, thus ensuring the accuracy of the riveting dimensions. It also facilitates future replacement and maintenance.
[0024] In this embodiment, the lower mold base 111 is provided with two sets of guide grooves 111a extending axially along the lower mold base 111. In other embodiments, at least one set may also be provided. The guide grooves 111a guide the pressure rod 114. Specifically, one end of the pressure rod 114 is screwed to the mold core 113, and the other end extends out of the lower mold base 111 through the guide groove 111a. This arrangement allows the pressure rod 114 to slide up and down along the guide groove 111a with the mold core 113, thereby triggering the contact sensor 122.
[0025] The inner wall of the lower mold base 111 is also provided with a radially extending limiting boss 111b, and the limiting boss 111b has a through hole that mates with the pressing point cutter block 112. The end of the pressing point cutter block 112 away from the mold core 113 is provided with a limiting plate 112a that mates with the limiting boss 111b. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 112a is quadrilateral and integrally formed with the pressing point cutter block 112. This design not only ensures reliable workpiece positioning, but also prevents damage to the cutter when pressing the torsion point.
[0026] The mold core 113 has a receiving groove 113a on the side near the base 1. An elastic element 113a1 is provided within the receiving groove 113a, with one end of the elastic element 113a1 located within the receiving groove 113a and the other end connected to a limiting boss 111b. In this embodiment, the elastic element 113a1 is a compression spring, and when the compression spring extends freely, the pressure rod 114 abuts against the top of the guide groove 111a. The mold core 113 has a clearance step 113b at the end away from the base 1, which cooperates with the nut to be processed. The clearance step 113b facilitates the placement of the workpiece 3 to be processed.
[0027] This utility model also provides a locking nut small end face torque point system, including the locking nut small end face torque point mold as described above, and also includes an upper mold joint 2 coaxially arranged with the lower mold base 111.
[0028] In operation, the part to be processed is first placed and fixed on the mold core 113, and then the equipment is started. The upper mold joint 2 pushes the mold core 113 to move axially along the lower mold base 111. As the mold core 113 moves downward under pressure, the pressure rod 114 moves synchronously along the guide groove 111a. At this time, the elastic element 113a1 is gradually compressed. When the end of the pressure rod 114 contacts the contact sensor 122, it indicates that the part to be processed 3 has been pressed into position. The contact sensor 122 transmits a signal to the electronic control device (not shown in the figure). The punch press receives the signal and stops pressing downward, and then returns to its original position. At the same time, the mold core 113 is pushed back to its original position under the elastic reset action of the elastic element 113a1. At this time, the workpiece is removed. Through these operations, products with the required twist point depth and position are pressed out.
[0029] This application, after process verification, significantly simplifies the installation and commissioning process, effectively reduces operational difficulty and manual workload, and improves production line efficiency. In press-fit products, it not only achieves precise control of the nut end face torque depth and position, ensuring product quality consistency, but also greatly improves the product qualification rate. Ultimately, it significantly reduces unit production costs and enhances the product's economic competitiveness.
[0030] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
