Detailed Description
In order to describe the technical contents, the achieved objects and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description will be made with reference to the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a deep drawing and stamping process for forming a thin metal shell with an L-shaped profile includes the steps of:
transversely expanding the product to be punched to obtain the expanded shape of the stretched blank, and punching the shape to form;
sequentially carrying out deep drawing forming on the drawn blank twice at a preset drawing height to obtain a drawn semi-finished product; the stretched semi-finished product comprises a top surface, side walls and flange edges;
and shaping and cutting the stretched semi-finished product in sequence to obtain a stretched finished product.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: transversely expanding a product to be punched to obtain an expanded shape of a stretched blank, punching the shape to form the stretched shape, ensuring that the top surface, the side wall and the flange edge of a stretched semi-finished product are provided with enough metal materials capable of being covered in the deep drawing process, sequentially carrying out deep drawing forming on the stretched blank for two times at a preset stretching height to obtain the stretched semi-finished product, and shaping and cutting the top surface, the side wall and the flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product to obtain the stretched finished product; the blank is stretched to a preset height through two deep drawing processes of blank stretching and semi-finished product secondary stretching in sequence, so that the stretching stress of the concave angle part of the side wall of the finished product is greatly reduced, the stress deformation of the top surface of the concave angle part of the side wall of the finished product can be reduced, and the flange edge at the concave angle part of the side wall of the finished product can be prevented from being broken.
Further, the step of sequentially performing two times of deep drawing forming on the drawn blank at a preset drawing height to obtain a drawn semi-finished product includes:
deep stretching the stretched blank for the first time at a first preset height to obtain a pre-stretched semi-finished product, and forming the top surface, the side wall and the flange edge;
And bending the flange edge of the pre-stretched semi-finished product subjected to the first deep stretching, and performing the second deep stretching on the pre-stretched semi-finished product at a second preset height.
As can be seen from the above description, after the stretched blank is deep stretched for the first time at the first preset height, the flange edge of the pre-stretched semi-finished product after the first deep stretching is bent first, and after the fluidity of the flange edge of the product is locked, the flange edge of the pre-stretched semi-finished product is stretched for the second time at the second preset height, so that the top surface metal material of the pre-stretched semi-finished product is more easily stretched out, and poor stress deformation of the top surface at the concave angle of the side wall of the stretched semi-finished product and poor cracking of the flange edge are avoided.
Further, the first preset height is 4.30-4.40 mm;
the second preset height is set to be 4.70-4.80 mm.
From the above description, the first preset height is set to be 4.30-4.40 mm, which is 0.30-0.50 mm lower than the second preset height, so that the stretching amount of 0.30-0.50 mm can be ensured during the secondary stretching, the top surface metal material of the semi-finished product can be just stretched out during the secondary stretching, and the poor stress deformation and the poor flange edge cracking of the top surface at the concave angle of the side wall of the stretched product are avoided; meanwhile, the second preset height is set to be 4.70-4.8 mm, so that the shell volume of the protruding part of the semi-finished product after the secondary deep drawing is basically equal to the shell volume of the protruding part of the drawn product, and the defect caused by the shortage of metal materials of the protruding part of the drawn semi-finished product shell can be avoided when the drawn semi-finished product is shaped in the subsequent process.
Further, the shaping comprises fillet R-shrinking shaping and flange edge plane shaping.
From the above description, it can be seen that the products are shaped by the R-shrinking shaping of the rounded corners and the planar shaping of the flange edges, so that the products with the required dimensions can be obtained, and the overall flatness of the products is improved.
Further, the fillet R-shrink shaping includes:
and reducing the semi-diameters of the inner side fillet of the top surface and the outer side fillet of the flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product to preset sizes by using a mould part with a preset reduced radius size twice.
It can be seen from the above description that the fillet shrinkage R shaping is performed on the stretched semi-finished product by dividing, the semi-finished product top fillet half-size and the flange edge fillet half-size are changed in a progressive manner, so that the product top fillet and the flange edge fillet are prevented from being broken due to the shape change of the greatly reduced R, and the deformation of the flange edge fillet and the top fillet due to the stress is reduced by shaping twice.
Further, the flange edge plane shaping includes: and sequentially shaping the plane of the whole circumferential flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product twice by using a die part with a preset angle conical surface and a preset height level difference.
As is apparent from the above description, since the flange of the drawn semi-finished product after R-shaping is separated from the outer peripheral side of the sidewall to generate upward buckling wavy deformation, the upward buckling wavy deformation generated on the outer peripheral side of the flange plane is reduced by shaping the entire peripheral flange plane of the drawn semi-finished product twice with the mold part having the predetermined angle conical surface and the predetermined height level difference.
Further, the flange edge plane shaping further comprises:
And carrying out primary flange plane shaping on the whole circumferential flange of the stretched semi-finished product by using the die part with the preset angle of 6-7 degrees and the preset height of 0.50-0.60 mm.
From the above description, the shaping of the whole circumferential flange of the stretched semi-finished product is performed by using the die parts with the conical surface with the preset angle of 6-7 degrees and the preset height of 0.50-0.60 mm, so that not only the redundant materials on the outer circumferential side of the flange plane of the stretched semi-finished product can be absorbed, but also the reverse compensation shaping of the buckling deformation on the outer circumferential side of the flange plane of the stretched semi-finished product can be realized.
Further, the flange edge plane shaping further comprises:
and carrying out secondary plane shaping on the flange edge of the whole circumference of the stretched semi-finished product by using the die part with the preset angle of 2-3 degrees and the preset height of 0.50-0.60 mm.
From the above description, it is known that the reverse compensation shaping of the warp deformation on the flange plane outer peripheral side of the stretched semi-finished product is further realized by shaping the die part with the tapered surface of 6 to 7 degrees at the preset angle and then shaping the die part with the tapered surface of 2 to 3 degrees at the preset angle.
Further, the cutting of the stretched semi-finished product comprises:
Cutting off the step edge of the stretched semi-finished product after the flange edge plane shaping;
punching the side wall of the stretched semi-finished product;
And cutting the appearance of the stretched semi-finished product along the flange edge to obtain the stretched finished product.
As can be seen from the above description, the product is separated from the blank to obtain a final product by sequentially performing step edge cutting, punching and profile cutting on the stretched semi-finished product, so that the effect of fine adjustment of screws to carry out plane shaping on the flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product due to the rigidity of step is avoided;
further, the method is characterized in that the step of cutting the shape of the stretched semi-finished product to obtain the stretched finished product further comprises the following steps: and carrying out plane shaping on the top surface and the flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product through fine adjustment of screws.
From the above description, the top surface and the flange edge of the stretched semi-finished product are shaped by fine adjustment of screws, so that the flatness of the top surface and the flange edge of the product is further improved.
