Fig. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the male die of the present invention, and fig. 5 is a plan view of the male die of the present invention.
Specifically, the material supporting plate base body is a plate-shaped body with square upper and lower end faces, the square side length is equal to the square side length of the female die base body, the square side length of the male die base body is equal, and a circular through hole penetrating through the end faces is formed in the center of the end faces, namely a forming hole 30. Four corners of the material supporting plate base body are respectively provided with positioning notches 32 which are opposite to the positioning structures of the male die base body and the female die base body, for example, four positioning notches 32 which are completely identical are arranged at the four corners, and when the male die 2 and the female die 1 are matched, the positioning notches 32 are matched with the positioning structures to limit the relative positions of the male die 2, the material supporting plate 3 and the female die 1.

The titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body needs to be cut after the blank is formed, and the outer diameter of the titanium alloy flat plate blank is larger than the diameter of the cover body after the cover body is unfolded to be a flat plate wafer due to the fact that cutting allowance is reserved, and when the material supporting plate 3 falls on the base body of the male die 2 after die assembly is conducted in hot forming, the part of the flat plate blank pressed by the upper surfaces of the female die 1 and the material supporting plate 3 is a part of the cutting allowance of the outer edge of the flat plate blank. In addition, the square plane side length of the male die matrix is 180-300 mm longer than the diameter of the bottom surface of the round table 20 due to the consideration of the thermoforming molding process.
Fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view of a tray according to the present invention, and fig. 7 is a top view of the tray according to the present invention.
Specifically, from the standpoint of the pressure and temperature of thermoforming, the materials of the female die 1, the male die 2 and the retainer plate 3 are selected from high-temperature resistant steel materials such as stainless steel 316L.
During thermoforming, the material supporting plate 3 is matched with the female die 1 and the male die 2, and firstly, the female die 1, the male die 2, the material supporting plate 3 and the titanium alloy flat plate blank are positioned and heated; then, the lower surface of the female die 1 floating above the male die 2 and the upper surface of the material supporting plate 3 jointly act to compress the flat blank; then, the female die 1 and the material supporting plate 3 clamp the flat blank to jointly descend and draw close to the male die 2; finally, the material supporting plate 3 is dropped on the matrix of the male die 2 to finish die assembly, and a formed blank is manufactured; and cutting the formed blank to obtain a finished product.
The invention also provides a hot forming method of the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body, which comprises the following steps:
step S1: calculating the overall dimension of the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body to be formed after being unfolded into a flat plate according to the dimension of the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body to be formed, determining the final dimension of the flat plate on the basis of reserving cutting allowance, and processing a flat plate blank according to the final dimension of the flat plate;
step S2: designing the sizes of a female die 1, a male die 2 and auxiliary tools used for thermoforming according to the final sizes of a titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body and a flat plate to be formed, and processing; the auxiliary tool is used for fixing the edge of the flat blank by matching with the female die 1;
step S3: the female die 1, the male die 2 and the auxiliary tool are assembled and fixed on a platform of a thermoforming press, and a preheating temperature-raising program of the thermoforming press is started;
step S4: when the temperature of the female die 1, the male die 2 and the auxiliary tool is stabilized to the required temperature, placing the flat blank with the lubricant coated on the surface on the upper surface of the auxiliary tool floating between the female die 1 and the male die 2, and positioning and combining the flat blank and the male die 2;
step S5: after the flat plate blank is preheated, the female die 1 and the male die 2 are matched and formed;
step S6: after die assembly, maintaining pressure and solidifying, and then demoulding and taking out a formed blank;
step S7: cutting into blanks to obtain the final product.
In step S1, the flat blank needs to be left with a cutting margin for the need for press forming and for shaping after press forming. Because the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body is a rotating body, when the flat plate blank 5 is processed, the flat plate blank 5 is cut into an annular disc, the center of the flat plate blank 5 is provided with a positioning hole 50, the diameter of the positioning hole is smaller than that of the center hole of the annular cover body, and the positioning hole has the positioning function during thermoforming. The cutting allowance 51 of the outer edge of the flat blank 5 is reserved according to a single side of 20-30 mm, namely, the outer radius of the flat blank 5 is 20-30 mm larger than the outer radius of the unfolded annular cover body; the cutting allowance 51 near the positioning hole 50 of the flat blank 5 is determined according to the diameter of the positioning hole 50, namely, the cutting allowance near the positioning hole 50 of the flat blank 5 is the diameter of the central hole of the annular cover body finished product minus the diameter of the positioning hole 50. The flat blank 5 was polished to remove edge burrs, and the port was polished with a surface roughness of 6.3 μm. Fig. 8 is a top view of a flat plate blank.
In the step 2, the female die and the male die are female and male dies designed according to the shape of the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body, the female die comprises an annular concave surface, the male die comprises an annular convex surface, after the female die and the male die are matched, the annular concave surface of the female die and the annular convex surface of the male die are matched to form a cavity of the annular cover body, and a flat plate blank clamped in the cavity is pressed into the cover body shape. Meanwhile, a positioning part matched with a positioning hole in the center of the flat blank is arranged in the center of the annular concave surface of the female die and the center of the annular convex surface of the male die, for example, a positioning pit 16 is arranged in the center of the concave surface 11 of the female die 1, so that a positioning rod 28 is correspondingly arranged in the center of the convex surface 21 of the male die 2, the diameter and the height of the positioning rod 28 are matched with the diameter and the depth of the positioning pit 16, and the positioning pit 16, the positioning rod 28 and the positioning hole of the flat blank are combined for positioning a die and the position of the flat blank in the die.
The cover body is prepared by adopting a flat plate, and the pressing of the flat plate into a curved surface is a stamping stroke process, so that the female die and the male die need to move in opposite directions to be matched. However, due to the characteristics of the material and the shape of the titanium alloy thin-wall annular cover body, the flat plate blank can be subjected to hot forming and die pressing under a certain tension to meet the forming quality requirement, so that the auxiliary tool is designed to assemble the die to fix the edge of the flat plate blank, the flat plate blank is given a traction effect, and simultaneously moves opposite to the male die to be matched with the die for forming.
In the invention, the edge of the flat blank is fixed in a plane-to-clamp mode, so that an auxiliary tool is designed into a flat plate with a hole in the center, the diameter of the center hole of the flat plate is larger than the outer diameters of the annular concave surface in the female die 1 and the annular convex surface in the female die 2, and the plane part outside the center hole of the flat plate and the plane part outside the annular concave surface of the female die jointly act to press the edge of the flat blank.
The auxiliary tool is a flat plate with a hole in the center, and is called a material supporting plate in a matching mode with the auxiliary tool. In order to provide a pressing force for the edge of the flat blank and a supporting force for an auxiliary tool relative to the female die, the auxiliary tool further comprises an auxiliary tool supporting mechanism. The auxiliary tool supporting mechanism comprises a plurality of ejector rod through holes 26, such as four ejector rod through holes 26, which are arranged on the male die matrix and are tightly attached to the bottom edge of the round table 20 in a circumferential and uniform manner, wherein the ejector rod through holes are used for extending ejector rods from the lower part of the male die matrix, supporting the material supporting plate 3 to float above the male die matrix, and the material supporting plate 3 above the male die matrix and the female die 1 jointly form pressure on the edge of a flat blank.
In step S3, the die base, the punch base and the carrier base are designed as square plate-shaped bodies with upper and lower end surfaces in order to be matched with the round flat plate blank and the annular cover and simultaneously be convenient to fix with the platform of the thermoforming press.
