Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cold heading equipment, and in particular to an easily detachable cold heading mold, belonging to the field of metal forming technology. Background Technology
[0002] Cold heading is a machining method that applies pressure to a metal billet at room temperature, causing it to undergo plastic deformation to obtain parts with the desired shape, size, and performance. Cold heading dies apply precisely controlled pressure to metal wires or bars placed inside, guiding the metal to flow and deform according to a predetermined shape.
[0003] Publication number CN222242452U discloses a cold heading mold for threaded caps. The mold includes a lower mold and an upper mold. Electric telescopic connecting rods are embedded and connected to the corners of the upper surface of the upper mold, and the corners of the lower surface of the upper mold are detachably connected to the telescopic ends of the electric telescopic connecting rods. A fixing hole is formed at the center of the upper surface of the lower mold, and threaded holes are formed on both sides of the inner cavity of the fixing hole, with the threaded holes extending transversely through the fixing hole. This cold heading mold can fix threaded caps of different sizes to a certain extent, and can be used in conjunction with thread rolling dies to process threaded caps of different sizes. This solves the problem that existing molds can only be adapted one-to-one. Producing different threaded caps does not require adding too many cold heading molds, effectively reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
[0004] However, this type of cold heading die lacks a quick-release mechanism during actual operation. Disassembling the upper die requires unscrewing each bolt connected to the telescopic rod, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. It also prevents rapid replacement of dies with different specifications to meet production needs, resulting in slow production transition response and severely impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, the device lacks a lower die disassembly mechanism, exhibiting extremely poor adaptability and flexibility, making it difficult to handle multi-variety production scenarios. Simultaneously, the metal deformation during cold heading generates a large amount of heat, which accumulates over time, causing the upper and lower dies to continuously rise in temperature. This high temperature can easily trigger equipment shutdown, further restricting continuous production capacity and necessitating improvements.
[0005] Therefore, an easily detachable cold heading die is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides an easily detachable cold heading die to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial alternative.

[0025] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an easily detachable cold heading mold, including a support 1, a support plate 2 mounted on the support 1, a cylinder 3 mounted on the support plate 2, the output end of the cylinder 3 being connected to a punch head 4 via a quick-release mechanism, an mounting plate 5 disposed inside the support 1, a positioning rod 6 mounted below the mounting plate 5, a positioning groove 7 disposed below the support 1, a limit groove 8 disposed inside the mounting plate 5, a sliding plate 9 slidably mounted inside the limit groove 8, a magnetic plate 10 disposed inside the sliding plate 9, a guide groove 11 disposed inside the support 1, an inclined clamping plate 12 slidably mounted inside the guide groove 11, an electromagnet 13 disposed inside the inclined clamping plate 12, a connecting rod 14 disposed on the side of the inclined clamping plate 12, a spring 15 sleeved on the connecting rod 14, a slot 16 disposed inside the support 1, and a mold base 21 mounted above the mounting plate 5.
[0028] In one embodiment, the magnetic plate 10 and the electromagnet 13 in the energized state are attracted by a magnetic field, and the slot 16 is adapted to the slide plate 9. When the power to the electromagnet 13 is turned on, the electromagnet 13 and the magnetic plate 10 are attracted by a magnetic field, thereby driving the slide plate 9 to slide synchronously during the sliding of the inclined slot plate 12.
[0029] In one embodiment, the connecting rod 14 is slidably installed inside the support 1, and a handle is installed at one end of the connecting rod 14 that passes through the support 1. Pulling the connecting rod 14 causes the inclined plate 12 to compress the spring 15 and retract along the guide groove 11.
[0030] In one embodiment, one end of the spring 15 is installed in the guide groove 11, and the other end of the spring 15 is installed on the side of the inclined plate 12. The spring 15 drives the inclined plate 12 to tend to push against the slide plate 9. When the slide plate 9 and the inclined plate 12 are horizontally aligned, the spring 15 pushes the inclined plate 12 to move along the guide groove 11 toward the slide plate 9.
[0031] In one embodiment, the quick-release mechanism includes a connecting shaft 17, a threaded sleeve 18, a dovetail groove 19, and a dovetail block 20. The connecting shaft 17 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 3, the threaded sleeve 18 is threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 17, the dovetail groove 19 is located below the connecting shaft 17, and the dovetail block 20 is installed above the stamping head 4, with the dovetail block 20 fitting into the dovetail groove 19. During operation, this quick-release structure allows for rapid replacement of the stamping head 4 according to the blank specifications without the need for special tools, significantly reducing replacement time and improving operational continuity.
[0032] In one embodiment, the mold base 21 has a cavity filled with a thermally conductive material 22. A heat-absorbing pipe 23 is installed inside the mold base 21. One end of the heat-absorbing pipe 23 is connected to a water inlet pipe 24, and the other end is connected to a water outlet pipe 25. Ball valves 26 and pipe connection seats 27 are installed on both the water inlet pipe 24 and the water outlet pipe 25. An external water pump delivers cold water to the heat-absorbing pipe 23 through the water inlet pipe 24. The water, after absorbing heat, is discharged from the water outlet pipe 25. The ball valve 26 controls the water flow rate to ensure a stable temperature for the mold base 21.
[0033] In one embodiment, the thermally conductive material 22 is made of copper powder and carbon fiber, and the heat-absorbing tube 23 is disposed in the internal cavity of the mold base 21. During the cold heading process, the heat generated by the metal deformation is rapidly conducted to the heat-absorbing tube 23 through the copper powder and carbon fiber thermally conductive material 22 in the mold base 21.
[0034] In operation, this invention works as follows: When installing the punch head 4, the dovetail block 20 on the punch head 4 is aligned with the dovetail groove 19 below the connecting shaft 17 and inserted. Then, the threaded sleeve 18 is rotated, and under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 18 will move downward and abut against the outside of the dovetail block 20, thereby completing the fixation of the punch head 4 to the output end of the cylinder 3. When disassembling, the threaded sleeve 18 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage it from the dovetail block 20. Then, the dovetail block 20 can be directly pulled out along the dovetail groove 19 to remove the punch head 4 for cold heading. During operation, cylinder 3 starts, driving the stamping head 4 to move downwards, applying pressure to the metal blank on the die holder 21 to complete the cold heading. When installing the die holder 21, the positioning rod 6 below the mounting plate 5 is aligned with the positioning groove 7 of the support 1 and inserted. During this process, the mounting plate 5 pushes the inclined clamping plate 12 and, under the action of the inclined surface and pressure, drives the inclined clamping plate 12 to retract along the guide groove 11. When the sliding plate 9 and the inclined clamping plate 12 are horizontally aligned, the spring 15 pushes the inclined clamping plate 12 along the guide groove 11. The groove 11 moves towards the slide plate 9, which then slides along the limiting groove 8 and engages with the slot 16, thus fixing the mounting plate 5 and the mold base 21. During cold heading, the heat generated by the metal deformation is quickly conducted to the heat absorption pipe 23 through the copper powder and carbon fiber thermal conductive material 22 inside the mold base 21. An external water pump sends cold water into the heat absorption pipe 23 through the inlet pipe 24. The water that has absorbed heat is discharged from the outlet pipe 25. The ball valve 26 can control the water flow rate to ensure that the temperature of the mold base 21 is stable. When disassembling the mold base 21, the connecting rod 14 is pulled to drive the inclined plate 12 to compress the spring 15 and move backward along the guide groove 11. At the same time, the power of the electromagnet 13 is turned on, so that the electromagnet 13 and the magnetic plate 10 are attracted by the magnetic field. Thus, the slide plate 9 can be driven to slide synchronously during the sliding of the inclined plate 12 until the slide plate 9 is disengaged from the slot 16. Then, the mold base 21 is pulled upward to remove the mounting plate 5 and the mold base 21. The operation is convenient and the fixation is firm, ensuring the operation accuracy and mold life.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
