[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a continuous punching die structure for a lock bracket is provided. The continuous punching die is mounted between an upper die base 10 and a lower die base 20. A sheet metal 30 moving forward along the X direction is mounted on the continuous punching die. A first die 01 and a second die 02 are sequentially arranged on the continuous punching die along the X direction, wherein:

[0022] The first mold 01 is equipped with a cutting module, which is used to punch the outline and holes of the product 40 on the sheet metal 30.

[0023] The second mold 02 is equipped with a forming module, on which a first bending module, a second bending module and a cutting module are arranged along the X direction. The first bending module is used to simultaneously bend the two X-direction sides of the product 40, and the second bending module is used to bend the two Y-direction sides of the product 40. The cutting module is used to cut the product 40 off the strip 30.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the first mold 01 includes a first upper ejector plate 70 and a first lower mold plate 80. The first upper ejector plate 70 is movably mounted on the upper mold base 10 by a limiting member and can be translated relative to it in the mold closing direction when the mold is closed. The upper mold base 10 and / or the lower mold base 20 are provided with one or more cutting punches extending in the mold closing direction. Each cutting punch can pass through the first upper ejector plate 70 to cut the sheet metal 30 placed on the first lower mold plate 80 when the mold is closed. The first lower mold plate 80 and / or the first upper ejector plate 70 are formed with a plurality of cutting inserts that are adapted to the cutting punches one by one.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the second mold 02 includes a second upper ejector plate 50 and a second lower mold plate 60. The second lower mold plate 60 is structurally adapted to the strip 30 and the product 40 on it. The second upper ejector plate 50 is movably mounted below the upper mold base 10 by a limiting member and can be translated relative to it along the mold closing direction when the mold is closed. The first bending module includes two punches, a first punch 1 and a second punch 2, which are mounted on the upper mold base 10 along the X direction and extend along the mold closing direction. Both the first punch 1 and the second punch 2 can pass through the second upper ejector plate 50 when the mold is closed and respectively cut and bend the two X-direction sidewalls of the product 40 on the second lower mold plate 60. The second lower mold plate 60 has shapes that are respectively aligned with the first punch 1 and the second punch 2. The second mold includes a first insert 3 and a second insert 4; the second bending module includes two third punches 5 and 6 mounted along the Y direction on the upper mold base 10 and extending along the mold closing direction. Both the third punches 5 and 6 can pass through the second upper ejector plate 50 and bend the two Y-direction sidewalls of the product 40 on the second lower mold plate 60 during mold closing. The second lower mold plate 60 has third inserts 7 and 8 that are compatible with the third punches 5 and 6. The cutting module includes one or more matching cutting punches and inserts. The cutting punches are located on the upper mold base 10 and / or the lower mold base 20, and the cutting inserts are located on the second upper ejector plate 50 and / or the second lower mold plate 60. In this embodiment, the second mold 02 also has clearance modules on both sides of the forming module in the X direction. The clearance modules can coordinate the production time avoidance between the forming module and the cutting module, release stress, and reduce the probability of sheet metal breakage. In this embodiment, the air-avoiding module includes air-avoiding inserts disposed on the second lower template 60 and / or the second upper stripper plate 50.

[0026] Figure 2The diagram shows the structure of the first punch 1 and the second seed 2 in this embodiment. The first punch 1 has an inverted L-shaped cutting part 101 on its side wall facing the second punch 2. The two ends of the cutting part 101 and the junction of its horizontal arm and vertical arm are smoothly connected. The second punch 2 has a forming slope 201 that extends obliquely upward toward the first punch 1 on its side wall facing the first punch 1. A slider 9 is slidably installed in the second insert 4, and the slider 9 has a guide slope 901 that matches the forming slope 201. The slider 9 is connected to the elastic element provided on the lower mold base 20 and can slide in the X direction in the second insert 4 under the action of its rebound force. When the mold is closed, the first punch 1 and the second punch 2 punch the product 40 from the left and right sides respectively. The forming slope 201 and the guide slope 901 cooperate to bend one side wall of the product 40. The cutting part 101 cuts the opposite side wall of the product 40 and its vertical side wall can restrict the displacement of the product 40. The first punch 1 and the second punch 2 cooperate to simultaneously and accurately punch and bend the two opposite side walls of the product 40.

[0027] This invention enables continuous forming of lock brackets on a continuous die by setting a first mold 01 and a second mold 02 on a progressive die, which are independent of each other but share an upper mold base 10 and a lower mold base 20. A cutting module and a forming module are respectively set on the first mold 01 and the second mold 02. Furthermore, by setting two sets of bending modules on the forming module that can simultaneously punch / bend the two opposite sidewalls of the product, the bending forming efficiency of the product can be further improved. Moreover, the mold for the left support of the lock can be quickly changed to the mold for the right support of the lock by directly replacing or reassembling the first mold and the second mold. This is convenient to operate, reduces auxiliary production time for production scheduling, is highly efficient, and can significantly reduce production management costs and improve production efficiency.

[0028] Figure 3-4 The diagram shows a top view of the molds for forming the left and right brackets of the lock in this embodiment. It can be seen that since the two brackets are mirror images of each other, the mold for the right bracket can be obtained by flipping and rotating the upper stripper plate and lower template on the first mold 01 and the second mold 02 in the mold of the left bracket by 180° and then assembling and adjusting them appropriately. The manufacturing cost is low and it is easy to quickly switch between the two molds, which significantly reduces the manufacturing cost and improves the production efficiency.

[0029] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
