Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stamping die technology, specifically to a lubrication device for a lead frame die. Background Technology

[0002] A leadframe is a chip carrier in integrated circuits, typically made of a thin metal sheet. Various perforated holes are formed on the outer side of the leadframe. It is a key structural component that uses bonding materials to electrically connect the internal circuit leads of the chip to external leads, forming an electrical circuit. It acts as a bridge connecting to external wires. Leadframes are required in most semiconductor integrated circuits and are an important basic material in the electronics and information industry. During manufacturing, these holes are generally formed by stamping. This process requires the use of stamping dies. During stamping, the leadframe is located between a die and a punch. Pressurizing equipment moves the die or punch, clamping the leadframe for stamping. Because the upper and lower dies need to move up and down during stamping, lubrication devices are often used to reduce friction and improve service life.

[0003] Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN 116727544 A discloses a stamping die for manufacturing lead frames. In this stamping die, the airflow inside the upper die base can flow to the lower die base, thereby accelerating the cleaning efficiency inside the lower die base. After impurities are removed from the lower and upper die bases, the surface of the workpiece is less prone to scratches during the stamping process, further ensuring the integrity of the workpiece during stamping. However, this stamping die for manufacturing lead frames is not easy to lubricate, which can easily lead to wear and tear on the upper and lower dies during long-term operation. Furthermore, due to its high friction, it is prone to damage, making it unsuitable for long-term use and having poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lubrication device for lead frame molds, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a lubrication device for a lead frame mold, including a stamping table, a support column fixedly installed on the upper end of the stamping table, a top plate, a lower mold and an upper mold fixedly installed on the other end of the support column away from the stamping table, a lower mold fixedly installed on the end of the stamping table near the support column, fixing sleeves fixedly installed at the four corners of the side of the lower mold away from the stamping table, the upper mold slidably connected to the lower mold through a connecting column, lubrication components fixedly installed on the side of the stamping table near the top plate and the side of the top plate away from the stamping table, and a lubrication sleeve fixedly installed on the end of the upper mold away from the lower mold;

[0006] The lubrication assembly includes an oil inlet pump fixedly installed on the top plate at the end away from the stamping table, a second lubrication branch pipe, and a return pipe communicating with the fixed sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the oil pump is provided with an oil inlet for oil inlet, and the other end of the oil pump away from the oil inlet is provided with a diverter pipe, and the other end of the diverter pipe away from the oil pump is provided with a distribution valve fixedly installed on the side of the upper die away from the stamping table.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the oil inlet is responsible for introducing lubricating oil. The oil pump pressurizes the lubricating oil and delivers it to the first distribution pipe. The first distribution pipe then introduces the lubricating oil into the distribution valve. The distribution valve distributes the lubricating oil reasonably according to the needs. The lubricating oil is then delivered to the lubrication sleeve through the second distribution pipe, thereby lubricating the relevant parts of the upper mold.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the distribution valve are provided with a second diversion pipe communicating with the lubrication sleeve, and the other end of the return pipe away from the fixed sleeve is provided with a collection box fixedly installed with the lower die away from the stamping table. The fixed sleeve has a groove at one end near the center line, and the groove is flush with the return pipe.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the second diversion pipe delivers lubricating oil to the lubrication sleeve to lubricate the contact area between the connecting column and the upper mold. The used lubricating oil flows along the connecting column into the groove of the fixed sleeve and is collected in the collection box through the return pipe. This realizes the recycling of lubricating oil, avoids waste, maintains the cleanliness of the working environment, and reduces production costs.

[0011] Preferably, a positioning frame is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the collection box by bolts, and two identical positioning frames are provided and are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the collection box.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, two symmetrically distributed positioning frames are used to firmly fix the collection box to the lower mold with bolts. The positioning frames not only enhance the stability of the collection box installation and prevent it from shaking or shifting during equipment operation, thus affecting the collection effect of lubricating oil, but also facilitate the installation and disassembly of the collection box, making it convenient to clean and maintain the collection box.

[0013] Preferably, a retaining ring is provided at the end of the upper mold near the lower mold, and a limiting seat for limiting is provided on the side of the lubrication component away from the upper mold. A retaining bolt that is threadedly connected to the retaining ring is provided at the end of the limiting seat near the center line.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the fixing bolt and the fixing ring are threaded together to fix the limiting seat on the upper die. The limiting seat can limit the movement range of the upper die and prevent the upper die from moving excessively during the stamping process, which could damage the equipment.

[0015] Preferably, there are two identical fixing rings, fixing bolts, and limiting seats, and the two fixing rings, fixing bolts, and limiting seats are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the stamping table.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the two symmetrically distributed fixing rings, fixing bolts and limiting seats ensure that the upper die is subjected to uniform force in all directions. On the one hand, this enhances the limiting effect of the limiting seat on the upper die and improves the stability of equipment operation. On the other hand, the symmetrical design facilitates installation and debugging, reduces installation difficulty, improves work efficiency, and ensures the consistency and stability of stamping work.

[0017] Preferably, connecting columns are fixedly installed at the four corners of the side of the lower die away from the stamping table, and the connecting columns are slidably connected to the upper die. A movable cylinder that is fixedly installed with the upper die is fixedly installed on the side of the top plate away from the stamping table. A mold cavity is opened at the center line of the lower die.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the connecting column realizes the sliding connection between the upper and lower dies. The movable cylinder is fixed between the upper die and the top plate. Through telescopic movement, it drives the upper die to move up and down along the connecting column to realize the stamping operation. The cavity of the lower die is used to place the lead frame material to be stamped. Under the stamping action of the upper and lower dies, the forming work of the lead frame is completed.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a lubrication device for lead frame molds, which has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The lubrication device for the lead frame mold, with the lubrication sleeve and the second distribution pipe, provides continuous lubrication to the upper mold and the connecting column, reduces friction loss, effectively extends the service life of key mold components, and, with the upper distribution valve, distributes lubricating oil as needed, so that the upper mold is subjected to uniform force during stamping, ensuring the forming accuracy of the lead frame and improving product quality;

[0021] 2. The lead frame mold uses a lubrication device, which, together with a return pipe and a collection box, can collect excess lubricating oil. The collected lubricating oil can be reused after processing. It is suitable for high-intensity production operations, can save costs, and can be easily promoted and used.
