Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker component processing technology, specifically to a cold heading die for forming flat moving contacts. Background Technology

[0002] The moving contact is a component used in circuit breakers that mates with the stationary contact to make or break contact. Existing moving contacts, if too thick, increase cost; if too thin, they are prone to poor contact, affecting energizing performance. Therefore, these problems are addressed by thickening the contact surfaces on both sides of the sheet material. However, current processing methods involve individually loading and processing the sheet, which is time-consuming, and the thickness of the protrusions on both sides is prone to inconsistency, affecting the contact forming quality. This process is costly and difficult, directly impacting the company's product delivery cycle. Utility Model Content

[0003] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a cold heading mold for forming flat moving contacts.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cold heading die for forming a flat contact, comprising an upper die and a lower die. The lower die includes a main module, which is sequentially provided with a roughing station, a fine cutting station, a rough upsetting station, a fine upsetting station, a forming station, and a shearing station. The upper die is provided with a roughing punch corresponding to the roughing station, the lower die is provided with a first cutting groove corresponding to the roughing station, the upper die is provided with a fine cutting punch corresponding to the fine cutting station, and the lower die is provided with a second cutting groove corresponding to the fine cutting station. The main module is provided with a rough upsetting slider for rough upsetting the sheet material to form a protrusion and a first sliding groove for the rough upsetting slider to slide on one side corresponding to the rough upsetting station. The upper die and lower die are respectively provided with a first forming station corresponding to the rough upsetting station. The first forming top block is provided with a forming groove for cooperating with the rough upsetting slider to extrude and form the convex part of the sheet material. The main module is provided with a fine upsetting slider and a second sliding groove for fine upsetting the outer arc surface of the convex part on one side corresponding to the fine upsetting station. The upper and lower dies are respectively provided with second forming top blocks corresponding to the fine upsetting stations. The second forming top blocks are provided with forming recesses for fine upsetting the inner contour of the convex part. The upper and lower dies are respectively provided with limit blocks corresponding to the forming stations. The limit blocks are provided with movable top blocks for adjusting the thickness of the convex part of the sheet material at the position of the convex part. The movable top blocks and the limit blocks are detachably connected. The upper die is provided with a blanking knife corresponding to the shearing station. The lower die is provided with a blanking groove corresponding to the shearing station.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer contour of the sheet is cut through rough cutting and fine cutting stations, and specific positions of the sheet are cold-forged through rough upsetting, fine upsetting, and forming stations, so that the two sides of the sheet are convex and formed. Then, the fully formed sheet strip is sheared through the shearing station to form multiple individual moving contacts. The sheet first forms convexities in the mold and then performs individual shearing, which is highly efficient. Through two-step cutting and three-step forming, the process is refined, resulting in high-quality finished products with equal thickness of the convex parts on both sides, low cost, and simple operation. The upper and lower molds are respectively equipped with second forming top blocks corresponding to the fine upsetting station. The second forming top blocks are equipped with forming recesses for fine upsetting the inner contour of the convex parts. The convex parts on the upper and lower sides of the sheet are formed separately, resulting in a wider range of quality and more stable forming. The movable top block and the limiting block are detachably connected, and the movable top block is replaceable and adjustable, making it more applicable.

[0006] The present invention further includes: an adjustment groove for adjusting the height of the movable top block at the position corresponding to the position of the limiting block; the height difference between the top surfaces of the limiting block and the movable top block is adjustable.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the height difference between the top surfaces of the limiting block and the movable top block can be adjusted according to the thickness requirements of the protrusion. However, during the use of the mold, the movable top block and the limiting block are detachably connected, and the height difference between the top surfaces of the limiting block and the movable top block remains fixed.

[0008] The present invention further includes: a preliminary forming station is provided between the precision upsetting station and the forming station, and the upper mold and lower mold are provided with the same limiting block and movable top block corresponding to the preliminary forming station.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, which is the same as the principle and structure of the molding station, two-step molding is achieved, which further reduces errors, improves molding quality, and increases the pass rate.

[0010] The present invention further comprises: an upper forming part and a lower forming part are provided on one side of the rough upsetting slider corresponding to the forming groove, and the upper forming part and the lower forming part form a forming cavity for forming the protrusion.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the rough upsetting slider moves along the first sliding groove toward the forming groove until it abuts against the forming groove. The upper forming part and the lower forming part limit the range of the protrusion shaping, and the upper and lower protrusions are initially formed through the forming cavity.

[0012] The present invention further includes a shaping groove on one side of the precision upsetting slider corresponding to the second forming top block, which is used to precision upset the outer arc surface of the protrusion.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the precision upsetting slider moves along the second sliding groove to the second forming top block to apply force, and the outer arc surface of the convex part is precision upsetting and shaping through the shaping groove. The structure is simple, the molding is done in steps, and the molding quality is high.

[0014] The present invention further includes: a protective slider for protecting the outer arc surface of the convex part and a third sliding groove for the protective slider to slide on one side of the main module corresponding to the forming station; and a limiting groove for protecting the outer arc surface of the convex part on one side of the protective slider corresponding to the movable top block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the thickness of the sheet protrusion is adjusted by the movable top block, the protective slider moves along the third sliding groove to the movable top block and abuts against the limiting block. The built-in spring applies force to protect the slider, and the limiting groove protects the outer arc surface of the protrusion, so that the deformation of the sheet is controlled only by the change in thickness rather than the change in contour.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. For example, taking the rough upsetting slider 41 as an example, the driving insert 9 is disposed on the outside of the rough upsetting slider 41 to drive the rough upsetting slider 41 to move back and forth. Similarly, it can be seen that the rough upsetting slider 41 and the protective slider 63 are both provided with driving inserts 9 on their outside to drive the rough upsetting slider 41 and the protective slider 63 to move back and forth. The punch and the blanking knife are prior art and therefore will not be described in detail.
