Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stamping die technology, specifically a stamping die applied to iron cans. Background Technology
[0002] Stamping is a key process in metal product manufacturing. Using a press and stamping dies, pressure is applied to metal sheets, causing them to separate or plastically deform, thus obtaining parts of the desired shape and size. It is widely used in industries such as tin can manufacturing. As the core equipment in stamping, the performance of stamping dies directly determines the precision of the parts, production efficiency, and cost.
[0003] In the tin can production process, stamping is required to complete multiple steps, including can body forming, lid opening, and component connection structure processing. When using traditional stamping dies for tin can stamping, if the stamping head lacks precise guidance during the die-closing stage, misalignment can easily occur between it and the lower die stamping station. This results in insufficient dimensional accuracy of the tin can stamping, increased scrap rate, and affects product quality and enterprise profits.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a stamping die for tin cans includes a matching upper die 1 and a lower die 2. The upper die 1 has a die handle 3 at its top, which is used to fix and connect to a press to transmit the vertical stamping power of the press. The lower die 1 has a stamping head 4 at its bottom, which extends vertically and has its lower end face as a stamping working surface. The lower die 2 includes a die base 5, and the upper end face of the die base 5 has a stamping groove 6, which corresponds to the position of the stamping head 4 and is used to accommodate the tin can workpiece and form a stamping forming space.
[0027] A plate 7 is mounted on the mold base 5 of the lower mold 2 via a connecting column. The plate 7 is horizontally positioned between the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 1. A guide post 8 is provided between the plate 7 and the lower mold 2. One end of the guide post 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mold base 5, and the other end passes through the plate 7 and mates with the bottom of the upper mold 1. A first clearance groove 9 adapted to the guide post 8 is provided on the side end of the plate 7. The inner diameter of the first clearance groove 9 forms a clearance fit with the outer diameter of the guide post 8, ensuring that the guide post 8 can pass through, while limiting the horizontal displacement of the plate 7 and the upper mold 1, so that the upper mold 1 can move vertically along the direction of the guide post 8.
[0028] A second clearance groove 10 is provided at the center of the plate 7, directly above the stamping groove 6. The axis of the second clearance groove 10 coincides with the axis of the stamping groove 6. The stamping head 4 can pass through the second clearance groove 10 and extend downward into the stamping groove 6. A guide structure 11 is provided on the outer side of the end face of the plate 7 corresponding to the second clearance groove 10. The guide structure 11 is a guide boss protruding from the end face of the plate 7. A guide ramp 13 is provided on the inner side of the guide boss facing the second clearance groove 10. The guide ramp 13 is gradually tapered along the stamping direction of the stamping head 4 (i.e., the vertical downward direction), that is, the opening size of the guide ramp 13 gradually decreases from top to bottom (the direction in which the stamping head 4 enters).
[0029] Furthermore, the guide boss includes at least three continuously connected protruding edges 14 surrounding the outer periphery of the second relief groove 10. Each protruding edge 14 is distributed in a frame shape (e.g., three or four sides are continuously connected). Each protruding edge 14 has a guide slope 13 on one side facing the second relief groove 10. The guide slopes 13 of each protruding edge 14 together form a guide channel. The cross-sectional shape of the guide channel is adapted to the outer periphery shape of the stamping head 4 (e.g., circular, square, etc.), and the minimum inner diameter of the guide channel is consistent with the outer diameter of the stamping head 4. Thus, when the stamping head 4 passes through the second relief groove 10, the movement trajectory of the stamping head 4 is calibrated by the gradually narrowing guiding effect of the guide slope 13, ensuring that it is precisely aligned with the stamping groove 6.
[0030] A pick-and-place notch 12 is provided on the front side of the plate 7 corresponding to the second relief groove 10. The pick-and-place notch 12 is gradually widened in the direction away from the second relief groove 10, that is, the opening size of the pick-and-place notch 12 gradually increases from the side closer to the second relief groove 10 outwards. The inner wall of the pick-and-place notch 12 communicates with the inner wall of the second relief groove 10, forming a channel extending from the outside of the plate 7 to the second relief groove 10, which facilitates the operator to pick up and place the iron can workpiece in the stamping groove 6 through the channel.
[0031] When the mold is set to dual stations, two stamping grooves 6 are arranged at intervals on the mold base 5 of the lower mold 2, and two pick-and-place notches 12 are correspondingly provided on the plate body 7, with each pick-and-place notch 12 corresponding to one stamping groove 6. The two pick-and-place notches 12 are separated by a partition 15 on the plate body 7, and the width of the partition 15 is adapted to the gradually expanding direction of the pick-and-place notches 12, ensuring that the operator can pick up and place the workpieces at the two stations separately and avoid mutual interference.
[0032] A connecting plate 16 is connected to the lower surface of the upper die 1. An assembly cavity 17 is formed on the surface of the connecting plate 16, and the upper end of the punch head 4 is embedded in the assembly cavity 17. The punch head 4 and the assembly cavity 17 can be fixedly connected by means of positioning pins, fastening bolts, etc. (for example, at least two bolts pass through the connecting plate 16 and are connected to the screw holes of the punch head 4), or by fixing the connecting plate 16 to the upper die 1, fixing one end of the punch head 4 between the connecting plate 16 and the upper die 1, thereby realizing the fixation of the punch head 4, thereby ensuring the rigidity of the connection between the punch head 4 and the upper die 1, and preventing displacement during the punching process.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] When the press drives the upper die 1 downwards, the guide post 8 cooperates with the first clearance groove 9 to provide initial guidance for the upper die 1. The stamping head 4 moves downwards with the upper die 1, first passing through the guide channel of the guide boss, and then achieving precise positioning through the gradually narrowing guide slope 13. It then passes through the second clearance groove 10 and enters the stamping groove 6 to stamp the iron can workpiece. After stamping is completed, the upper die 1 returns, and the operator can remove the workpiece through the pick-and-place notch 12 and the gradually widening channel. In the dual-station design, two workpieces can be stamped simultaneously, and the pick-and-place operation is separated by the partition 15, improving production efficiency.
[0035] The above structure achieves high precision, high efficiency, and high stability in iron can stamping through multi-level guidance, modular assembly, and convenient loading and unloading design.
[0036] Through the above-mentioned structural design, this stamping die effectively improves the reliability and stability of the stamping operation. The cooperation between the guide post 8 and the first relief groove 9 achieves initial positioning, reducing the shaking during the mold closing process of the upper die 1; the guide structure 11, in conjunction with the second relief groove 10, performs secondary calibration, significantly reducing the alignment deviation between the stamping head 4 and the stamping groove 6, avoiding defects such as iron can stamping deformation and hole diameter errors caused by inaccurate positioning, and improving the dimensional accuracy and forming quality of the product.
[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
