A known drawing die is shown in Fig. 5.
The drawing die is constituted by a punch 101 positioned at the center, a blank holder 103 outside fitted to the punch 101, supported by a cushion pin 102 and provided so as to freely move upward and downward, and a die 104 arranged so as to face to the punch 101 and moving upward and downward. Reference numeral 105 denotes an air vent.
A lower die 109 constituted by the punch 101 and the blank holder 103 is fixed to a bolster 106 of a press machine, an upper die 110 constituted by the die 104 is fixed to a ram 107 of the press machine, and the upper die 110 is moved upward and downward by driving the press machine . Further, the blank holder 103 is supported by the cushion pin 102, the cushion pin 102 is moved upward and downward by a cushion apparatus of the press machine, and accordingly, the blank holder 103 moves upward and downward.
A description will be given of a drawing process . First, the blank holder 103 is moved upward to a position shown by a double-dashed line by the cushion pin 102.
Next, as shown by a double-dashed line, a thin plate 108 is mounted on the blank holder 103 and the punch I01.
Thereafter, when moving the upper die 110 downward, the die 104 comes into collision into the thin plate 108 on the blank holder 103 in an entire outer periphery of the punch 101 so as to pinch the thin plate 108 between the blank holder 103 and the die 104.
Subsequently, when the upper die 110 moved downward, the thin plate 108 pinched by the blank holder 103 and the die 104 is drawn by the punch 101. Further, when the upper die 110 reaches an illustrated bottom dead center, the thin plate 108 is formed in a work W.
When the upper die 110 moves upward, the blank holder 103 is moved upward to a state shown by a double-dashed line on the basis of an ascending force of the cushion pin 102, and the work W is taken from the punch 101. The upper die 110 is structured such that the air vent 105 is provided in the die 104 to prevent a negative pressure from being generated between the work W
and the die 104 when the work W comes down. Alternatively, the work W is moved to a lower side by an extrusion pin (not shown) energized by a spring, the work W is taken from the die 104, and the work W picked up from the press machine is transferred to a press machine in the next step.
In the drawing process mentioned above, when the die 104 comes into collision with the thin plate 108 mounted on the blank holder 103, the thin plate 108 extending around an entire surface of an entire outer periphery of the punch 101 (that is, the thin plate 108 on the blank holder 103) and the die 104 are simultaneously brought into contact and are worked in an impact manner. Accordingly, it is necessary to use a high-quality thin plate which can sustain the impact. Further, a service life of the press die and the press machine is shortened due to the impact process.

Next, as shown by a double-dashed line, a thin plate 108 is mounted on the blank holder 103 and the punch I01.
Thereafter, when moving the upper die 110 downward, the die 104 comes into collision into the thin plate 108 on the blank holder 103 in an entire outer periphery of the punch 101 so as to pinch the thin plate 108 between the blank holder 103 and the die 104.
Subsequently, when the upper die 110 moved downward, the thin plate 108 pinched by the blank holder 103 and the die 104 is drawn by the punch 101. Further, when the upper die 110 reaches an illustrated bottom dead center, the thin plate 108 is formed in a work W.
When the upper die 110 moves upward, the blank holder 103 is moved upward to a state shown by a double-dashed line on the basis of an ascending force of the cushion pin 102, and the work W is taken from the punch 101. The upper die 110 is structured such that the air vent 105 is provided in the die 104 to prevent a negative pressure from being generated between the work W

Further, when executing the drawing process, a loud noise is generated when the upper die and the lower die come into collision.
Further, when the blank holder finishes the upward movement after the drawing process is executed, a vibration is generated in the work on the blank holder.
In view of the above noted problems, the present invention is made in order to make the impact generated in the drawing die as small as possible, to make it possible to make the processed product have the same quality as when a high quality process material is used even when a low quality process material is used so as to achieve the cost reduction of the product, and to extend - the service life of the drawing die and the press machine, :are to standardize the stabilizer of the drawing die to facilitate manufacturing to achieve the cost reduction.

In Fig. 1, a lower die 1 is constituted by a punch 2, a blank holder 3 outside fitted to the punch 2 and provided so as to be freely moved upward and downward by a cushion pin 4, and a plurality of boxes 5 outside fitted to the punch 2 in the same manner and supported to the cushion pin 4 around the blank holder 3.
Conventionally, a sub blank holder constituted by an annular ring-like integrally formed member outside fitted to the punch 2 has been used, however, a drawing die becomes large by using the sub blank holder, and too much cost is required. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, the structure is made such that the plurality of standardized boxes 5 are arranged only at necessary positions below the blank holder 3 around the punch 2. The number of the boxes needed is determined according to a size of the drawing die, and generally, four to six boxes are arranged.
An upper die 6 is constituted by a die 7 arranged so as to face the punch 2.
A buffer gas spring 11 is interposed between the box 5 and the blank holder 3 of the lower die 1 so as to form a gap making the blank holder 3 float over the box 5, and the gap is set to a run-up gap H1. In this case, the buffer gas spring 11 is fastened into the box 5 by a bolt 8.

The low speed angle of incline a is close to a right angle to a part of the upper die 6 that is brought into contact with the roller 21 at an initial time when the upper die 6 moves downward. A connection portion between the low speed angle of incline a and the middle speed angle of incline (3 are smoothly connectedby a circular arc. It is possible to control downward moving speeds of the run-up lever 13 and the blank holder 3 by changing the low speed angle of incline a and the middle speed angle of incline (3 of the driver 31.
Fig. 2 shows a side view of the stabilizer of the drawing die in Fig. 1.
An appropriate number of blocks 5 are arranged in a standardized manner in the lower portion of the blank holder 3 around the punch 2, and are made movable upward and downward by the cushion pin 4.
The bracket 14 is firmly fixed to the block 5 by the bolt 15, and side plates 41 are arranged at both outer sides of the bracket 14. Further, the side plates 41 are fastened to the flange 18 of the blank holder 3 by bolts 42 and 43.
The rotary shaft 17 is extended through a base end of the run-up lever 13, a base end portion of the run-up lever 13 is received within the bracket 14, and each end portion of the rotary shaft 17 is inserted through a long hole 44 of each side plate 41 and is fastened by a bolt 46 via a washer 45.

Next, a description will be given of operation of the drawing The thin plate 51 is mounted on the punch 2 and the blank holder Fig. 1 shows a state in which the upper die 6 moves downward, and the run-up lever 13 starts being brought into contact with the flange 18 of the blank holder 3 by the driver 31. An operation starting gap HZ of the blank holder 3 and the die 7 in Fig. 1 is set larger than the run-up gap Hl in order to make the blank holder 3 run up first, and then come into collision with the block 5. The run-up gap Hl, the operation starting gap H2, and a relation between the run-up gap H1 and the operating starting gap HZ (a degree at which the operation starting gap H2 is larger than the run-up gap Hl) are set to values that are sufficient to avoid an impact work.
After the blank holder 3 is run up by the run-up lever 13, and presses the piston 50 of the buffer gas spring 11 and the lower surface of the flange 18 of the blank holder 3 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the block 5, the die 7 is brought into contact with the thin plate 51 on the blank holder 3. The state at this point is shown in Fig. 3. In the case of H1 = 15 mm, for example, the contact portion of the run-up lever 13 with the flange 18 of the blank holder 3 moves downward at a distance of 15 mm, and a relation where H1 - 0 mm is established. The die 7 is brought into contact with he thin plate 41 on the blank holder 3 that is running up, not in a resting state. Since the die 7 is brought into contact with the thin plate 51 that is running up, and not coming into collision with the thin plate 51 that is in a static condition, an impact is hardly generated.
Thereafter, the upper die 6 continuously moves downward, the drawing process is finished in a state of a bottom dead center shown in Fig. 4, and the work W is formed. In the case of the present embodiment, the cushion pin 4 moves downward at a distance of 65 mm.
When the upper die 6 moves upward, the work W is taken out of the punch 2 by the blank holder 3, and an air vent 52 is provided in the die 7 so as to prevent a negative pressure from being generated between the work W and the die 7 at a time when . the work W comes down due to an empty weight. Alternatively, the work W may be discharged out of the die 7 by an extrusion pin (not shown) energized by a spring.
If the block 5, the run-up lever 13, the bracket 14, the driver 31 and the like (including the roller 21, the roller 22, the rotary shaft 17, the buffer gas spring 11, and the support table 32 ) are set as standardized parts and various parts are provided in correspondence to the size, it is possible to easily change the existing drawing die to the die having the buffer structure.
In accordance with the present invention, since the components of the stabilizer of the drawing die such as the block are provided in a standardized manner, the buffer structure can be easily provided for any drawing die. Even when low quality process material is used, it is possible to make the processed product have the same quality as when high quality process material is used, and it is possible to achieve a cost reduction of the product.
~rther, in accordance with the present invention, since the die comes into collision with the thin plate on the running up blank holder, noise can be reduced.
Flzrther, in accordance with the present invention, since the blank holder executing the drawing process by the stabilizer unit moves upward step by step, it is possible to reduce a vibration of the work on the blank holder.
