[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This application provides a wheel hub stamping die, which is typically equipped with an external power device for driving the die to stamp. The power device provides power to the die, and the power device is usually a cylinder. The wheel hub stamping die includes an upper die and a lower die. The upper die includes an upper cover plate 1, an upper die base 2, an upper pad plate 3, an upper clamping plate 4, a stop plate 5, and an upper ejector plate 6. The lower die includes a lower die template 7, a first lower pad plate 8, a second lower pad plate 9, and a lower die base 10. The upper cover plate 1, upper die base 2, upper pad plate 3, upper clamping plate 4, stop plate 5, upper ejector plate 6, lower die template 7, first lower pad plate 8, second lower pad plate 9, and lower die base 10 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper pad plate 3, upper clamping plate 4, stop plate 5, and upper ejector plate 6 are elastically connected, that is, there is an elastic gap between the upper clamping plate 4 and the stop plate 5. The lower die template 7 is elastically connected to the first lower pad plate 8 and the second lower pad plate 9, that is, there is an elastic gap between the lower die template 7 and the first lower pad plate 8. The upper ejector plate 6 and the lower template 7 are used for material feeding. A base 11 is provided under the lower mold base 10. In this embodiment, the base 11 includes two thick columns on both sides and eight thin columns in the middle. The ten columns are fixedly connected to the lower mold base 10 to support it. Multiple guide columns 25 are provided between the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 10. Each guide column 25 includes a top sleeve and a column body that mates with the sleeve. In this embodiment, a total of six guide columns 25 are provided.
[0034] Elastic clearance is a conventional technical means in stamping dies, therefore, the corresponding elastic clearance structure will not be described in detail in this application.
[0035] During use, the rigid material used for stamping in the wheel hub stamping die described in this application is gradually passed through the stamping gap between the upper ejector plate 6 and the lower template 7 under the drive of the matching conveyor device. The rigid material is set as an iron plate with a thickness of 2 mm. When it enters the die, it is an iron plate. The iron plate is gradually fed into the stamping die without being opened.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 11 The iron plate is stamped into a wheel hub using the wheel hub stamping die. The wheel hub has a first bent portion 21 with a first groove 22. A circular through hole 23 facing upwards is located at the center of the first groove 22. The circular through hole 23 has two layers: a bottom layer 26 and a top layer 27. A hexagonal second groove 24 surrounds the circular through hole 23. A second bent portion 28 surrounds the top of the first bent portion 21, and multiple gears 29 are mounted on the second bent portion. Two wheel hub components are joined together by the gears 29 to form a single wheel hub product.
[0037] The material is fed into the mold from one end. Along the material conveying direction, the lower mold is sequentially arranged with a pressing lower mold 41, a first stamping lower mold 42, a second stamping lower mold 43, a forming lower mold 44, a punching lower mold 45, a trimming lower mold 46, and a bending lower mold 47. The upper mold is arranged with pressing upper molds 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 37 that respectively cooperate with the pressing lower mold 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47. During the stamping process, the material passes through the corresponding upper and lower molds in sequence to form a complete wheel hub product. In this embodiment, a wheel hub accessory is obtained after one sequential stamping by multiple upper and lower molds. The following description of each lower die structure is used to introduce the technical solution of this application. Since the upper and lower dies are completed in cooperation during the stamping process, the corresponding upper die structure will not be described in detail in this application.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 The lower die 41 is configured with a circular pressing groove. The upper die 31 presses down into the circular pressing groove of the lower die 41, so that the material is stamped out into a circular piece in one go. The circular piece corresponds to the overall structure of the wheel hub accessory when it is not formed.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first stamping die 42 is equipped with a first stamping circular groove, and six support columns are provided in the first stamping circular groove. The first stamping upper die 32 presses down into the first stamping circular groove of the first stamping die 42, so that the material is stamped out in one go to form the first protrusion 16.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second stamping die 43 is equipped with a second stamping circular groove, and four support columns are provided in the second stamping circular groove. The second stamping upper die 33 is pressed down into the second stamping circular groove of the second stamping die 43, so that the material is stamped out in one go to form the second protrusion 17. The second protrusion 17 corresponds to the bottom layer 26 side wall of the circular through hole 23 of the wheel hub.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The lower forming die 44 is equipped with a hexagonal stamping groove. The upper forming die 34 is pressed down into the hexagonal stamping groove of the lower forming die 44, so that the material is stamped out in a hexagonal groove at one time, which corresponds to the second hexagonal groove 24 of the wheel hub. The overall structure of the iron plate material used for the wheel hub is stamped into the first groove 22. The edge of the first groove 22 is provided with a first bent edge 18.
[0042] Reference Figure 2and Figure 8 The lower punching die 45 is equipped with a punching groove. The upper punching die 35 is pressed downward into the punching groove of the lower punching die 45, so that a round hole 30 is punched out at the top center of the second protrusion 17 in one go.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 9 The lower trimming die 46 is equipped with a trimming groove. The upper trimming die 36 is pressed downward into the trimming groove of the lower trimming die 46, so that the material is cut out in one go to form the edge of the wheel hub component, that is, the circular edge of the wheel hub and the multiple gears 29 set on the edge.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 10 The lower bending die 47 is equipped with a circular bending groove and a circular bending protrusion. The upper bending die 37 is pressed downward into the circular bending groove and the circular bending protrusion of the lower bending die 47, so that the first bending edge 18 is stamped out into the second bending edge 19 in one go. The second bending edge 19 corresponds to the second bending part 28 of the wheel hub. The third bending edge 20 is stamped out into the central circular hole 30 at the top of the second protrusion 17, and the third bending edge 20 corresponds to the top layer 27 of the through hole of the wheel hub.
[0045] The working principle of this application embodiment is as follows:
[0046] In the initial state, the elastic connection between the upper pad 3, the upper clamping plate 4, the stop plate 5, and the upper release plate 6 is in a natural state, and the elastic connection between the lower template 7 and the first lower pad 8 and the second lower pad 9 is in a natural state.
[0047] When the power unit drives the upper mold base 2 to press downwards, the upper ejector plate 6 presses down on the lower mold plate 7. The upper ejector plate 6 and the lower mold plate 7 contact and press the feeding iron plate. When the power unit drives the upper mold base 2 to continue to move downwards, the elastic gap between the upper pad plate 3, the upper clamping plate 4, the stop plate 5, and the upper ejector plate 6 is compressed. The elastic gap between the lower mold plate 7 and the first lower pad plate 8 and the second lower pad plate 9 is also compressed, so that the upper and lower molds of each component of the mold device cooperate one by one to press the feeding iron plate into shape.
[0048] After stamping, the power unit drives the upper die holder 2 to move upward to the initial state. At this time, the material preparation plate is located on the upper surface of the lower die plate 7, and the material preparation plate continues to move horizontally under the drive of the conveying device. The wheel hub stamping die repeats the stamping process.
[0049] The sheet metal is processed through seven stamping processes in sequence: pressing die 41, first stamping die 42, second stamping die 43, forming die 44, punching die 45, trimming die 46, and bending die 47.
[0050] The finished wheel hub has a smooth, clean surface, free of cracks, scratches, and defects. Driven by a conveyor, the finished wheel hub components are output from the wheel hub outlet.
[0051] Multiple processing steps for the wheel hub are performed within the same mold, eliminating the need to transfer materials to different molds and avoiding errors caused by material movement. Each complete process produces one wheel hub component, and two identical components are combined to form a finished wheel hub, saving materials and preventing waste. A single sheet of sheet metal can produce multiple wheel hubs. The sheet metal is fed from one end of the mold and processed sequentially from left to right, saving steps, time, and improving wheel hub production efficiency.
[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
