Abstract
In a die, a vertical linear motion of the die is converted into a rotating motion, thereby rotating a cylindrical cam member to form a forming portion which enters from a descending locus of the upper die into the lower die, and a cam member is rotated and retreated to the state where a work cam be taken out from the lower die after forming.
Description
aO038 74~
The present invention relates to a die for forming such as sheet metals of 0.1 to lOmm thick, plastics and die casts.
Negative angle forming of sheet metals, plastics and die casts is usually performed by using a slide cam.
By the way,-the negative angle forming referred herein denotes a processing in which, when a work placed on a lower die is formed by descending an upper die vertically for abutment, a formed portion enters from a descending locus of the upper die into the lower die.
In the conventional negative angle forming of the sheet metals plastics and die casts, the work is placed on the lower die and processed laterally by descending the upper die vertically and driving a driven cam of the lower die.
When the processing is finished and the upper die is ascended, the passive cam was retreated by means of a spring. In this case, a former of the driven cam which forms the work by sliding thereon laterally from outside, is formed into a unit shape as same as a forming shape of the work. However, a former of the lower die whereon the work is placed, must be made possible to take out the work by dividing and retreating 5 a negative angle portion into which the lower die has entered on by deleting the negative angle portion, since the work must be taken out from the lower die after the processing.
It is not so problematic if the degree of negative angle is small. However, when the degree of negative angle is large 10 or, for example, when the work takes the form of elongated frame with grooved section such as a front-pillar outer of automotive sheet metal parts, since the groove width of the work is narrow, if the negatively angled lower die is divided or deleted, it can not be shaped distinctly only by the 15 pressure of the driven can, and also the lower die strength is deteriorated and the negative angle forming was practically impossible.
In the negative angle forming by the slide cam, though the driven can is guided and slid a long distance by a drive 20 can of the upper die, it is not always simple to move the driven can repetitively to a predetermined position accurately because a guide member is not always used for smooth guidance, thus a product is hardly stable in quality and besides the torsion and strain may occur to necessitate 200387 ~
correction of the product.
The correction of products having tree-dimensional curved surfaces and lines such as parts constituting the automobile body plate like the front-pillar outer is S practically impossible. Assembling the torsional or strained parts with the other parts by welding results in a poor connection therebetween, thus a high quality sheet metal structure of the automobile can not be provided and a predetermined product accuracy of the sheet metal forming can not be maintained.
When the slide cam is used, a large driven cam and heel must be provided on the side of the lower die where-the work is placed, or the moving area of the driven cam is necessitated, thus the lower die area becomes larger and heavier, results in expensive dies.
The present invention is based on converting the linear vertical motion of mass-production equipment into rotating motion. More particularly, the invention provides a die having a former which is negatively angled when an upper die is moved linearly against a lower die for forming, wherein a cylindrical cam member provided with a groove axially on its peripheral wall is disposed rotatably on the lower die to form a negative angle former on the grooved edge of the cam member, the cam member having a pivoting plate, an actuating cam having the negative angle former being installed on the upper die oppositely to said cam member, the actuating cam having a negative angle former, and an auto-return device is provided on the lower die to rotate and retreat the cam member to the state where a work W can be taken out from the lower die after forming, the upper die is positioned at the top dead center of a press machine, the work W is placed on the lower die, the upper die starts to descend from the top dead center, and first the lower face of the actuating cam is ~ 200387~
contacted to the pivoting plate without interfering the negative angle former of the cam member, which is rotated clockwise, as the upper die continues to descend further, the actuating cam urged externally of the die is moved leftward against the urging force, thereby the work is formed by negative angle former of the cam member pivoted and the negative angle former of the actuating cam, after the actuating cam, the upper die starts to ascend, the actuating cam is urged externally of the die, moved rightward and ascended without interfering the work W formed, meanwhile, the cam member is rotated counterclockwise by the auto-return device, since the actuating cam which has restrained is ascended, so that the work W formed can be taken out from the lower die without interfering the negative angle former of the cam member.

The front-pillar outer is a portion of a front-door frame and also a portion of a front-glass frame. Moreover, it 5 constitutes a portion of a frame supporting a roof panel.
Since the front-pillar outer is connected to various parts as such, it requires a severe product accuracy. If such an accuracy is not satisfied, the sheet metal body of a good quality can not be provided.
The front-pillar outer includes three-dimensional curved surfaces and lines since it constitutes an automobile body.
A portion which is subject to a negative angle forming by the press dies is indicated at A and has the length of about 750mm, a section of which is shown as a work W in 15 Fig. 2. That is, after the negative angle forming, the work W
is formed into the state shown by a solid line from the state shown by a two-dot chain line.
By the way, in the press forming, first the drawing takes place. Then, the peripheral trimming is performed to 20 the state shown by the two-dot chain line.

As shown in Fig. 2 and Figs. 5 to 7, the actuating cam 11 is formed with a negative angle former 12 at a lower end, guided 20 by a side guide 13 and a lower guide 14 and urged externally of the die by a coil spring 17 provided around a positioning pin 16 between a seat 15 of the actuating cam 11 and the upper die 9.
The numeral 18 generally indicates a urethane rubber 25 buffer and 19 denotes a safety suspension bolt of the 20038~
actuating cam 11. Positioning of the actuatinq cam 11 against the lower die 3 is effected by engaging two positioning grooves 20 provided on its lower surface to positioning keys 21 projected at the positions of the lower die 3 opposing 5 thereto.
Next, the operation of the press dies will be described.
The upper die 9 is positioned at a top dead center and a work W is placed on the lower die 3. In ~ig. 2, the work W is in the state shown by the two-dot chain line, and the cam 10 member 2 is pivoted and retreated to the state shown by the two-dot chain line by the auto-return device 5. The upper die 9 is positioned at the top dead center of a pressing machine above the state shown in the figure.
The upper die 9 starts to descend from the top dead 15 center, and first the lower face of the actuating cam 11 is contacted to the pivoting plate 8 without interfering the negative angle former 4 of the cam member 2, which is rotated clockwise in Fig. 2.
As the upper die 9 continues to descend further, the 20 actuating cam 11 urged externally of the die is moved laterally or leftward in Fig. 2 to the state shown by the solid line in the figure of the cam action aqainst the urging force of the coil spring 17, thereby the work W is formed as shown by the solid line in Fig. 2 by the negative angle 2(~03874 -former 4 of the cam member 2 pivoted and the negative angle former 12 of the actuating cam 11.
After the negative angle forming, the upper die 9 starts to ascend. The actuating cam 11 is urged externally of the 5 die by the coil spring 17, moved rightward in Fig. 2 and ascended without interfering the work W formed.
Meanwhile, the cam member 2 is rotated counterclockwise in Fig. 2 to the state shown by the two-dot chain line by the auto-return device 5, since the actuating cam 11 which has 10 restrained is ascended, so that the work W formed can be taken out from the lower die 3 without interfering the negative angle former 4 of the cam member 2.
Second Embodiment Fig. 8 shows an example of press dies for forming a 15 front-door trim base which is automotive sheet metal parts of another embodiment.

In Fig. 9B, the upper die g starts to descend from the top dead center, and first the lower face of the actuating cam 11 is contacted to the pivoting plate 8 without interfering the negative angle former 4 of the cam member 2, which is rotated clockwise.
As the upper die 9 continues to descend further, the actuating cam 11 urged externally of the die is moved leftward in Fig. 9C against the urging force of the coil spring (not shown, numeral 17 of Fig. 6), thereby the work W
is formed as shown in Fig. 9C by negative angle former 4 of the cam member 2 pivoted and the negative angle former 12 of the actuating cam 11.
After actuating cam 11, the upper die 9 starts to ascend. The actuating cam 11 is urged externally of the die by the coil spring (not shown, numeral 17 of Fig. 6), moved rightward in Fig. 9D and ascended without interfering the work W formed. Meanwhile, the cam member 2 is rotated counterclockwise in Fig. 9D by the auto-return device, since the actuating cam 11 which has restrained is ascended, so that the work W formed can be taken out from the lower die 3 without interfering the negative angle former 4 of the cam member 2.
