Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead frame technology, specifically a multi-station progressive die for lead frames. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component connecting chips to external circuits, the lead frame plays a crucial role in the performance and cost of electronic products due to its manufacturing precision and production efficiency. Lead frames are often produced using molds, and progressive dies are a type of mold. Because they consist of multiple stations, each station is sequentially linked to complete different processes. A series of different stamping processes are completed in one stroke of the punch press, which can improve its production efficiency.
[0003] While existing technologies can produce lead frames, most of them use a single mold, which not only leads to low production efficiency and affects production capacity, but also makes it difficult to achieve integrated processing of lead frames. In addition, although existing technologies have an alignment structure designed during the mold closing process, the alignment structure is relatively simple and is prone to misalignment during alignment, thereby affecting production quality and making it difficult to promote its use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-station progressive die for a lead frame, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a multi-station progressive die for a lead frame, including a base, a lower die base, an upper die base and a lead frame body. The lower die base is fixedly installed with a positioning post, a limiting cylinder and a lower die frame assembly at the end away from the base. The upper die base is provided with a through slot at the end away from the lower die base. The upper die base is fixedly installed with an upper die frame assembly at the end away from the lower die base.
[0006] The lower mold frame assembly includes a mold body, a positioning bolt threadedly connected to the outer surface of the mold body, and an inclined groove, a recess, and a slot on the outer surface of the mold body.
[0007] The upper mold frame assembly includes a second mold body. The outer surface of the second mold body is fixedly equipped with a locking post, a protrusion, and a protruding post. The outer surface of the second mold body is provided with a fixing bolt. The lower mold frame assembly and the upper mold frame assembly are in one-to-one correspondence.
[0008] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly installed at one end of the mold body near the upper mold frame assembly. The locking block is adapted to the upper mold frame assembly, and the groove and protrusion are located on the same vertical horizontal line.
[0009] Through the above technical solution, by adapting the locking block to the upper mold frame assembly, when the mold is closed, the locking block can accurately align with the upper mold frame assembly, playing a preliminary positioning role, so that the lower mold frame assembly can be quickly aligned with the upper mold frame assembly. Furthermore, the groove and the protrusion are located on the same vertical horizontal line. During the mold closing process, the protrusion is embedded in the groove, further enhancing the positioning accuracy of the upper and lower mold frame assemblies. At the same time, during stamping, the protrusion can remove the metal from the surface of the lead frame body, enabling normal operation.
[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the second mold body is provided with a second positioning bolt, the first positioning bolt penetrates the first mold body and extends to the inner surface of the lower mold base, and the second positioning bolt penetrates the second mold body and extends to the inner surface of the upper mold base.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the design of positioning bolt one and positioning bolt two allows for the replacement of mold body one and mold body two. The order of mold body one and mold body two can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions, thereby adjusting the different working modes of the progressive die.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting block one is fixedly installed at one end of the lower mold base, and a limiting post one is provided on the outer surface of the limiting block one. A limiting block two is fixedly installed at one end of the upper mold base, and a limiting post two is provided on the outer surface of the limiting block two. The limiting block one and the limiting post one correspond one-to-one with the limiting block two and the limiting post two.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, by having limit block one and limit post one correspond one-to-one with limit block two and limit post two, during the mold opening and closing process, limit post one and limit post two cooperate with each other to limit the relative position of the upper mold base and the lower mold base, and prevent the upper mold base from shifting or shaking during stamping.
[0014] Preferably, the positioning pins and sleeves are installed by insertion, and there are four identical positioning pins and sleeves located at the four corners of the lower mold base and the upper mold base.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the positioning pin and the sleeve cooperate to accurately position the upper and lower mold bases during mold installation and use, thereby further enhancing the installation accuracy and stability of the upper and lower mold bases.
[0016] Preferably, the lead frame body is located between the lower mold base and the upper mold base, and the lower mold frame assembly and the upper mold frame assembly correspond to the lead frame body.
[0017] With the above technical solution, the lead frame body is placed between the lower die base and the upper die base, and the lower die frame assembly and the upper die frame assembly correspond to the lead frame body. During the stamping operation, the upper die base moves downward, the upper die frame assembly applies pressure to the lead frame body, and the lower die frame assembly provides support and reaction force. The two work together to stamp the lead frame body, completing various stamping processes of the lead frame body by the multi-station progressive die.
[0018] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly installed at one end of the base near the lower mold base. The fixing frame has an "L" shaped cross-section. A discharge hopper is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing frame away from the lower mold base. The other end of the discharge hopper is located on the base away from the lower mold frame assembly.
[0019] With the above technical solution, one end of the "L"-shaped fixing frame is fixed to the base near the lower mold base, and the other end is equipped with a discharge hopper. The other end of the discharge hopper is located on the base away from the lower mold frame assembly. After stamping, the waste or finished product of the lead frame body can be quickly discharged through the discharge hopper, avoiding the accumulation of waste around the mold and affecting subsequent processing. It also facilitates the collection and sorting of waste and finished products.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-station progressive die for a lead frame, which has the following advantages:
[0021] 1. This lead frame uses a multi-station progressive die. Through the design of positioning bolt one and positioning bolt two, it is possible to replace mold body one and mold body two. The order of mold body one and mold body two can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions, thereby adjusting the different working modes of the progressive die. Furthermore, it can realize the integrated processing of the lead frame, which can improve production efficiency and facilitate its widespread use.
[0022] 2. This lead frame uses a multi-station progressive die. Limiting block one and limiting post one correspond one-to-one with limiting block two and limiting post two. It is adapted to the upper mold frame assembly by a locking block. When the mold is closed, the locking block can accurately align with the upper mold frame assembly, playing a preliminary positioning role, so that the lower mold frame assembly and the upper mold frame assembly can be quickly aligned. It can realize multiple alignment methods, so that when the upper and lower molds are closed, they can avoid the easy deviation and shaking of the two, which would lead to poor production quality.

[0033] Specifically, a locking block 705 is fixedly installed at one end of the mold body 701 near the upper mold frame assembly 10. The locking block 705 is adapted to the upper mold frame assembly 10. The groove 704 and the protrusion 1003 are located on the same vertical horizontal line. The advantage is that, through the adaptation of the locking block 705 to the upper mold frame assembly 10, when the mold is closed, the locking block 705 can accurately align with the upper mold frame assembly 10, playing a preliminary positioning role, so that the lower mold frame assembly 7 and the upper mold frame assembly 10 can be quickly aligned. Furthermore, since the groove 704 and the protrusion 1003 are located on the same vertical horizontal line, during the mold closing process, the protrusion 1003 is embedded in the groove 704, further enhancing the positioning accuracy of the mold frame assembly. At the same time, during stamping, the protrusion 1003 can remove the metal from the surface of the lead frame body 16, enabling normal operation.
[0034] Specifically, a positioning bolt 2 1005 is provided on the outer surface of the mold body 2 1001.
