Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a protrusion forming device, a protrusion forming method and a formed article.
- Upon forming a protrusion in a sheet-like workpiece such as a steel sheet, in the case of the height of the protrusion being somewhat large compared to the sheet thickness, forming is carried out by drawing.
- However, drawing requires the distance between a lateral face of a punch and an inner face of a die hole to be at least the sheet thickness. In addition, in the case of drawing, R (roundness) of the corners of the punch and die is large. For this reason, it has not been possible to form a protrusion having a sharp edge.
- In the case of forming a protrusion having a sharp edge, forming has been performed by half blanking according to the fine blanking method.
- The fine blanking method is a method of performing shearing with high precision by causing a compressive force to act on the workpiece, thereby causing plastic deformation.
- However, with the fine blanking method, forming is difficult in the case of the height of the protrusion being the sheet thickness or greater. This is because, when the height of the protrusion is the sheet thickness or greater, due to the punch diameter and die hole diameter generally being approximately the same, it is not possible to process by the workpiece being sheared by the shearing force.

In the case of a sheet gear, in order to improve the efficiency of the rotary torque, it is preferable for the surface area on a side contacting with adie hole 12a of the protrusion W1 to be larger. - It should be noted that a case of forming in a state in which the protrusion W1 projects downwards as shown in
FIG.2B will be explained in the following explanation. - The
protrusion forming device 1 includes afixed part 10, a movingpart 30 that moves vertically relative to thefixed part 10, and apressing part 50 that is retained by the movingpart 30, and further moves relative to themoving part 30. It should be noted that vertical is the direction of the arrows shown inFIG. 1 , and hereinafter in the present disclosure, the direction in which themoving part 30 approaches thefixed part 10 is referred to as down (first direction), and the direction in which the movingpart 30 distances from thefixed part 10 is referred to as up. - The
fixed part 10 includes a dieholder 11, dieunit 12, andguide posts 13. - The die
holder 11 is produced from a substantially rectangular thick-plate member. It should be noted that the shape of the dieholder 11 is not limited to a rectangle. A through-hole 11a is provided in the central part of the dieholder 11. - The
guide posts 13 extend from the outer circumferential part of thedie holder 11 towards up in the drawings. Four of the guide posts 13 (only two shown in drawings) are provided in the present embodiment, for example. - The die
unit 12 is arranged more inwards than theguide posts 13 on the top face of the dieholder 11, and is fixed to the dieholder 11. The dieunit 12 is a metallic member of constant thickness, and adie hole 12a corresponding to the shape of the protrusion W1 formed by theprotrusion forming device 1 is provided in the central part thereof. - In addition, at the outer side of the

The drive mechanism presses the lower die 20 upwards via theknockout member 21. - The moving
part 30 includes apunch holder 31, backingplate 32,guide pin 36, and punchunit 40. - The
punch holder 31 is produced from a thick-plate member of substantially the same size as thedie holder 11. - At an outer circumferential part of the
punch holder 31, a first through-hole 31a is provided at a position corresponding to theaforementioned guide post 13. Aguide bushing 31c is inserted and fixed to the first through-hole 31a. Theguide bushing 31c is a cylindrical member, and extends to below thepunch holder 31. Theguide post 13 is inserted inside of theguide bushing 31c, and stable vertical motion of the movingpart 30 relative to the fixedpart 10 is ensured by theguide bushing 31c moving along the outer circumference of theguide post 13. - More to the inner side than the
guide bushing 31c in thepunch holder 31, a plurality of second through-holes 31b is provided. - The
backing plate 32 is mounted more to the inner side than the position at which theguide bushing 31c is provided at the bottom face of thepunch holder 31. - At a position corresponding to the aforementioned second through-
hole 31b in thebacking plate 32, a two-stage hole 33 continuing from the second through-hole 31b is provided. - The two-
stage hole 33 includes afirst hole 33a having the same axis line as the second through-hole 31b, continues from the second through-hole 31b, and of the same diameter as the second through-hole 31b; and asecond hole 33b having the same axis line as the second through-hole 31b, provided further downwards than thefirst hole 33a, and of a smaller diameter than thefirst hole 33a. - The
guide pin 36 is mounted to the bottom face of thebacking plate 32 more to the outer circumferential side than the two-stage hole 33, and extends toward below thebacking plate 32. - The
punch unit 40 is fixed to the bottom face of thebacking plate 32 at a central part thereof. - Although described in detail later, the
punch unit 40 includes alarge punch part 41 on the side of thebacking plate 32, and asmall punch part 42 on the side of the workpiece W. - The
pressing part 50 includes abolt member 34,presser plate 37, andcoil spring 35. - The
bolt member 34 has ahead part 34a that is smaller than the diameters of second through-hole 31 andfirst hole 33a, and larger than the diameter of thesecond hole 33b, and an extendingpart 34b having a smaller diameter than the diameter of thesecond hole 33b. - The
bolt member 34, with thehead part 34a up, has the extendingpart 34b inserted inside of the second through-hole 31b,first hole 33a andsecond hole 33b, and is screw clamped to thepresser plate 37. - The
coil spring 35 is arranged at a portion of thebolt member 34 which projects from the backing plate 32 (bolt member 34 is inserted into the coil spring 35). - The
presser plate 37 is arranged at the outer circumferential side of thepunch unit 40. Thepresser plate 37 is a thick-plate member, in which afirst opening 37a is formed in the central part thereof, and thisfirst opening 37a is substantially the same diameter as thelarge punch part 41 of thepunch unit 40, and thelarge punch part 41 can slide within thefirst opening 37a. - At an outer circumferential side of the
first opening 37a on the top face of thepresser plate 37, a bottomed threadedpart 37b for bolt fixing is provided. The threadedpart 37b is provided at a position corresponding to the extendingpart 34b of theaforementioned bolt member 34, and a front end of the extendingpart 34b is inserted and fixed to this threadedpart 37b. - The
coil spring 35 is arranged between thebacking plate 32 andpresser plate 37 on the outer circumference of the extendingpart 34b. - In addition, at a position corresponding to the
aforementioned guide pin 36 on the outer circumferential side of thefirst opening 37a on thepresser plate 37, asecond opening 37c is provided. Theguide pin 36 is inserted into thesecond opening 37c. The lower end of theguide pin 36 is further inserted into theguide hole 12b of thedie unit 12, and theguide pin 36 is guided straight ahead by theguide hole 12b in thedie unit 12 and thesecond opening 37c. - The workpiece W is arranged on the
die unit 12. The workpiece W is a hot-rolled steel sheet (SPFH590) for automobiles, for example. - In the case of forming a protrusion in the workpiece W, the workpiece W is arranged on the
die unit 12. At this time, the protrusion forming location on the workpiece W is aligned so as to position on thedie hole 12a. - It should be noted that, at this moment, the moving
part 30 of theprotrusion forming device 1 is positioned more upwards than the state inFIG.1A . - Next, the moving
part 30 is made to descend by the drive mechanism (not illustrated), whereby thepresser plate 37 is made to abut the workpiece W. - Then, the moving
part 30 is made to descend, and the bottom face of thesmall punch part 42 of thepunch unit 40 is then made to abut the workpiece W as shown inFIG.1A . Next, the movingpart 30 is further pressed downwards by the drive mechanism. Thepunch unit 40 thereby further descends, and presses the workpiece W by thesmall punch part 42 andlarge punch part 41. - Plastic deformation occurs in the workpiece W, and a protrusion W1 of a desired shape is formed as shown in
FIG.1B . - Subsequently, the moving
part 30 is made to ascend, whereby thesmall punch part 42 andlarge punch part 41 are made to distance from the workpiece W, and thelower die 20 is pushed up by theknockout member 21. - When done in this way, the protrusion W1 of the workpiece W is pushed out from the
die hole 12a, and removal of the workpiece W becomes possible. -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the part A inFIG.1B , after forming of the protrusion W1.FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the formed article W01 after forming of the protrusion W1. - In the present embodiment, when defining the interval between the lateral face of the
small punch part 42 and lateral face of thelarge punch part 41 as d1, and defining the interval between the lateral face of thesmall punch part 42 and inner face of thedie hole 12a as d2, there is the relationship ofFIG.3 . -
- Since (S1-S2)/2 = d1, (S3-S2)/2 = d2, and S3 < S1 according to Formula (2), it becomes d2 < d1 in the above Formula (1).
-
- In addition, as shown in
FIG. 4 , when viewing as the formed article W01, the formed article W01 includes a flat part W2 of thickness T, the protrusion W1 of thickness T projecting to the lower side inFIG. 4 from the side of one surface A of the flat part W2, and a rising part P2 which rises up from the flat part W2 to the protrusion W1 . - The interval d2 between the lateral face of the
small punch part 42 and inner face of thedie hole 12a when inserted into thedie hole 12a is also referred to as the thickness d2 of the rising part P2 in a direction orthogonal to the thickness T direction of the flat part W2, and satisfies the relationship of -
- Furthermore, a portion of the protrusion W1 on the opposite side of a surface B is pressed by the
punch unit 40, and thus becomes a concave part. The concave part has a first concave part D1 having a first width S1 that is roughly the same as the width S1 of thelarge punch part 41, and a second concave part D2 that is formed by further indenting from the first concave part D1, and has a second width S2 that is roughly the same as the width S2 of thesmall punch part 42. Then, the width of the protrusion W1 on the side of the surface B is equal to the width S3 of thedie hole 12a, and satisfies the relationship of - Next, for ease of understanding the effects of the present embodiment, first, comparative embodiment will be explained.
FIG. 5 is a view showing a comparative embodiment.FIG. 5A shows a state arranging the workpiece W on thedie unit 12A of the comparative embodimentFIG. 5B shows a state of forming the protrusion W1 in the workpiece W by causing apunch unit 40A of the comparative embodiment to descend. - The
punch unit 40A of the comparative embodiment does not have the large punch part as shown in the illustration, and only has asmall punch 42A. - It should be noted that the interval d2 between the lateral face of the
small punch part 42 and inner face of thedie hole 12a in the comparative embodiment is no more than the sheet thickness T of the workpiece W. - In the comparative embodiment, when causing the
punch unit 40A to descend from the state ofFIG.5A , thepunch unit 40A (small punch 42A) presses the workpiece W as shown inFIG. 5B . - If the indentation depth becomes deeper, the workpiece W will plastically deform. Herein, since the workpiece W deformed due to shearing, the edge of the protrusion will be sharp. However, cracks form due to the tensile stress acting on the rising part (portion of P2 illustrated) of the protrusion.
- However, the
punch unit 40 of the present embodiment is a two-stage structure of thelarge punch part 41 andsmall punch part 42, as shown inFIG. 3 . - According to the present embodiment, the portion of the workpiece W that existed in the portion indicated by reference symbol B in
FIG. 3 is pressed downwards by thelarge punch part 41 upon forming the protrusion W1. When this is done, the material of this part B flows to other portions as shown by the arrows inFIG. 3 . In other words, the material is pressed and flows, whereby material supply is performed to portions on which tensile force acts, and the tensile force is alleviated. In addition, by being pressed by thelarge punch part 41, this pressed portion is forged and the hardness increases. -
FIG. 6 is a graph showing the results of measuring the hardness of portions P1 to P4 inFIG. 3 of the workpiece W formed in the present embodiment. - In
FIG. 6 , the position indicated by the dotted line is the hardness 197 HV of the workpiece W itself. According to the present embodiment, it is hardened at all of portions P1 to P4, and thus an improvement in product strength is also possible. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, R at the corner of the workpiece W after forming becomes sharp (corner sag hardly occurs), due to the protrusion W1 also having a deformed shape due to shear. Therefore, it is possible to form detailed concavities and convexities.
- In addition, the material having flowed from the portion B not only causes the hardness to rise, by flows to other portions of the workpiece W. Due to this flow, it is possible to ensure a predetermined thickness at the portions of P2 and P3, which are the rising parts of the protrusion W1. In addition, this flowed material is pushed into the corner C1 between the
large punch part 41 andsmall punch part 42 of the workpiece W, and the corner C2 between thelower die 20 and lateral side of thedie hole 12a; therefore, R at the corner of the workpiece after formed becomes sharper (corner sag hardly occurs). Therefore, it is possible to form more detailed concavities and convexities. - Then, according to the present embodiment, since the edge of the protrusion W1 becomes sharp in this way, the surface area of the portion of the protrusion W1 contacting with the
die hole 12a becomes larger. For this reason, in the case of causing the protrusion W1 to contact another member to cause the workpiece W to rotate, it is possible to produce a large rotary torque.
Therefore, it is suited to the production of protrusions such as sheet gears. -
FIG. 7 is a view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and corresponds toFIG. 3 of the first embodiment.FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of a formed article W02 after processing according to the second embodiment. - A point by which the present embodiment differs from the first embodiment is the point of a
sloped face 42a which inclines in a direction in which the thickness of thesmall punch part 42 becomes thinner as approaching the rim part of thesmall punch part 42 is provided to the bottom face of thesmall punch part 42. - In addition, what the formed article W02 of the second embodiment differs from the formed article W01 of the first embodiment is in the point of a sloped face W1a being formed at the bottom of a second concave part D2 by the sloped
face 42a of thesmall punch part 42. Since other portions are similar, explanations thereof will be omitted. - According to the present embodiment, upon pressing the
punch unit 40 to the surface of the workpiece W, since the slopedface 42a is provided, the material that existed at the part D of the workpiece W at which the slopedface 42a is positioned tends to flow in the directions indicated by the arrows in the drawing. - Therefore, the flow of material to the portion P2 between the
small punch part 42 and diehole 12a at which cracking tends to occur is further promoted. It is thereby possible to form the protrusion W1 in which it is more difficult for cracks (cracking) to occur than in the first embodiment. - In addition, the flowed material flows to other portions of the workpiece W. This flowed material is pushed into the corner C1 between the
large punch part 41 andsmall punch part 42 of the workpiece W, and corner C2 between thelower die 20 and lateral face of thedie hole 12a, whereby R of the corner of the workpiece W after forming (formed article W02) becomes even sharper. Therefore, it is possible to form more detailed concavities and convexities. - Then, according to the present embodiment, since the edge of the protrusion W1 becomes sharp in this way, the surface area of the portion of the protrusion W1 contacting with the
die hole 12a becomes larger. For this reason, in the case of causing the protrusion W1 to contact another member to cause the workpiece W to rotate, it is possible to produce a larger rotary torque. - A third embodiment is a method of forming the protrusion W1 in the workpiece W by the
protrusion forming device 1 of the second embodiment shown inFIG. 7 , and then further forming the protrusion W1 more sharply by further pressing the workpiece W, by theprotrusion forming device 1 of the first embodiment shown inFIG. 3 . - According to the present embodiment, first, upon pushing the
punch unit 40 to the surface of the workpiece W by way of the protrusion forming device ofFIG. 7 , the material of the surface of the workpiece W is made to flow to the outer side of thesmall punch part 42 by way of the slopedface 42a. - Next, it is possible to make the edge part more sharply, by causing the material in the portion of
FIG. 7 to further flow by theprotrusion forming device 1 ofFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 9 is a view showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and corresponds toFIG. 3 of the first embodiment.FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view of a formed article W04 after processing in the fourth embodiment. - The point whereby the
punch unit 40 of theprotrusion forming device 1 of the present embodiment differs from the first embodiment is the point in which aprojection 43 along the outer circumference of thesmall punch part 42 is provided at an end of an surface of thesmall punch part 42 on the side of theworkpiece 42. - Then, what the formed article W04 of the fourth embodiment differs from the formed article W01 of the first embodiment is in the point of a concave part W1b being further formed at the corner of the bottom of a second concave part D2 by the
projection 43, as shown inFIG. 10 . Since other portions are similar, explanations thereof will be omitted. - According to the present embodiment, since the
projection 43 is being provided, it is possible to reduce the pressing weight more than pressing by the entirety of the bottom face of thepunch unit 40 during forming. - In addition, according to the present embodiment, upon pushing the
punch unit 40 against the surface of the workpiece W, the material that existed at part E of the workpiece W at which theprojection 43 is positioned tends to flow in the directions indicated by the arrows in the drawing, due to theprojection 43 being provided. - Therefore, the flow of material to the portion of P2 between the
small punch part 42 and inner face of thedie hole 12a at which cracking tends to occur is further promoted. It is thereby possible to form the protrusion W1 in which it is more difficult for cracks (cracking) to occur than in the first embodiment. - In addition, the flowed material not only causes the hardness to rise, but also flows to other portions of the workpiece W. This flowed material is pushed into the corner C1 between the
large punch part 41 andsmall punch part 42 of the workpiece W, and the corner C2 between thelower die 20 and the lateral face of thedie hole 12a, whereby R of the corner of the workpiece W after forming becomes even sharper. Therefore, it is possible to form more detailed concavities and convexities. - Then, according to the present embodiment, since the edge of the protrusion W1 becomes sharp in this way, the surface area of the portion of the protrusion Wlcontacting with the
die hole 12a becomes larger. For this reason, in the case of causing the protrusion W1 to contact another member to cause the workpiece W to rotate, it is possible to produce a large rotary torque. - Hereinafter, the results of forming the protrusion W1 in the workpiece W using the devices of the aforementioned embodiments will be explained.

protrusion forming device 1. - The workpiece W was SPFH590, which is hot-rolled sheet steel, and the mechanical properties used YS (yield stress) 522 MPa, TS (tensile strength) 604 MPa, EL (elongation) 26%, and two types of sheet thickness of 2.9 mm and 2.5 mm.
- Hereinafter, the measured values of the protrusion W1 of the workpiece W formed using the
protrusion forming device 1 of each embodiment are shown in Table 1. -
