Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a punch-die set used for the piercing and blanking of sheet metal by mounting on a punching press, etc., and more particularly to a punch-die set that has been improved to facilitate the changing of punches and dies and to improve machining accuracy.
  • a punch-die set for piercing and blanking sheet metal (hereinafter referred to as a workpiece), such as sheet steel, as shown in Fig. 5 is well known.
  • Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating the essential part of a punch-die set of a conventional type.
  • Reference numeral 41 in the figure refers to a punch; 42 to a die; 43 to a die fixing screw; 44 to a die locking pin; 45 to a workpiece; 46 to a set holder; 47 to a sleeve; 48 to a stripper; 49 to a punch passing hole; 50 to a stripper spring; 51 to a punch proper; 52 to a punch holder; 53 to a parallelism reference plane; 54 to a punch-proper threaded portion; 55 to a parallelism reference jig plate; 56 to a punch pusher; 57 to a punch-pusher threaded portion; 58 to a punch head; 59 to a punch pad; and 60 to a punch-proper spring, respectively.
  • the stripper 48 is formed into a bottomed hollow cylindrical shape, and supported on the set holder 46 via the stripper spring 50 in such a manner as to be vertically slidable in the sleeve 47 fixedly fitted to the set holder 46 via adhesive.
  • a punch passing hole 49 On the bottom of the stripper 48 formed is a punch passing hole 49 through which the punch 41 is passed.
  • the punch proper 51 is formed into a bottomed hollow cylindrical shape, and constructed so as to be vertically slidably inserted into the stripper 48.
  • the punch holder 52 On the bottom of the punch proper 51 formed is the punch holder 52 to which the punch 41 is fixedly fitted by bonding, crimping or other means.
  • the punch proper 51 has the parallelism reference plane 53 formed by machining part of the outer circumferential surface thereof go as to ensure that the parallelism reference plane 53 slidably comes in contact with the end face of the parallelism reference jig plate 55 provided on the set holder 46. With this arrangement, the rotation of the punch proper 51, that is, the punch 41 is controlled.
  • the punch-proper threaded portion 54 is provided in the form of female threads on the inner circumferential surface at the upper end of the punch proper 51, and engaged with the punch-pusher threaded portion 57, which is provided in the form of male threads on the punch pusher 56.
  • the punch pusher 56 is integrally connected to the punch proper 51 by screwing the punch pusher threaded portion 57 to the punch-proper threaded portion 54.
  • the punch pusher 56 is connected to the punch proper 51 in such a manner as to push the punch pad 59.
  • the punch pad 59 prevents the punch 41 from coming off upwards, and adjusts the punching stroke by adjusting the thickness thereof properly.
  • the punch-proper spring 60 is provided between the punch pusher 56 and the stripper 48.
  • the die 42 is installed at a location facing the punch 41 of the set holder 46.
  • the die 42 is fixedly fitted to the set holder 46 by the die fixing screw 43, and is prevented from being rotated by the die locking pin 44.
  • the punch-die set is set on a press table, for example, and the punch head 58 is pushed downwards by a press or cylinder ram (not shown). As the punch head 58 is pushed downwards, the stripper spring 50 is first deflected and the stripper 48 is pushed down until the bottom surface of the stripper 48 comes in contact with the workpiece 55 because the resiliency of the stripper spring 50 is smaller than the resiliency of the punch-proper spring 60.
  • the punch-proper spring 60 is deflected, and thereby the punch pusher 56 and the punch proper 51 are pushed down to a predetermined stroke.
  • the workpiece 45 placed on the die 42 is pierced or blanked by the punch 41.
  • the shape of piercing or blanking with a punch-die set is not always kept constant, but may usually be varied as necessary.
  • the punch and die used in the punch-die set have to be changed to a shape corresponding to the required piercing or blanking shape.
  • the shape of the punch passing hole provided on the stripper also has to be changed.
  • the punch passing hole 49 provided on the bottom of the stripper 48 has to be formed in accordance with the location and shape of the punch 41, it is not easy to machine the punch passing hole 49.
  • the vertical positions of the punch 41, the punch passing hole 49 and the die 42 and the horizontal angular positions thereof must be accurately aligned to improve machining accuracy.
  • the die 42 is fixedly fitted in such a manner that the die 42 is forced onto the set holder 46 by the die fixing screw 43 while setting the angular position thereof in the horizontal direction by the die locking pin 44.
  • this accurately positions vertical and horizontal angular positions of these components it is in fact difficult to accurately position them vertically or in horizontal angular direction by merely pushing the die 42 by the die fixing screw 43 to the set holder 46 because of the presence of small gaps among the die 42, the die fixing screw 43 and the set holder 46. Additional fine adjustment is therefore required, leading to increased replacement operations.
  • the punch-die set of this invention comprises a stripper that is vertically slidable with respect to a set holder formed into a bottomed hollow shape, a punch proper that is vertically slidable with respect to the inner surface of the stripper, a punch installed on the lower end of the punch proper in such a manner as to pass through the bottom of the stripper, and a die disposed on the set holder in such a manner as to face the punch with a gap for inserting a workpiece, in which the stripper comprises a stripper proper formed into a hollow shape.

  • Numeral 22 in the figure refers to positioning protrusions; 23 to positioning recesses; 24 to a fixing screws; 25 to fixing screw holes, respectively.
  • Other numerals correspond to like numerals in Fig. 1.
  • the positioning protrusions 22 is formed by providing protrusions on the surface of the stripper plate 7 mating with the stripper proper 6.
  • the positioning recesses 23 are formed on the lower end face of the stripper proper 6 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 22.
  • These positioning protrusions 22 and the positioning recesses 23 are formed by using as references the Y axis parallel with the aforementioned stripper parallelism reference plane 9 and the punch parallelism reference plane 15 (shown in Fig. 3), and the X axis orthogonally intersecting with the Y axis.
  • the punch passing hole 8 formed on the stripper plate 7 is machined using as references the X and Y axes.
  • the stripper plate 7 is installed on the stripper proper 6 by the fixing screws 24 after the positioning protrusions 22 are engaged with the positioning recesses 23.
  • the punch passing hole 8, the positioning protrusions 22, the positioning recesses 23 are machined using as references the X and Y axes. Consequently, when changing the stripper plate 7 with a new one, the punch passing hole 8 corresponding to the punch 1 is automatically positioned.
  • the positioning protrusions are provided on the stripper plate 7, and the positioning recesses are provided on the stripper proper 6. Needles to say, the positioning protrusions may be provided on the stripper proper 6 and the positioning recesses on the stripper plate 7. In the following, these positioning protrusions and the positioning recesses are called positioning means.
  • the positioning means are provided between the die 2 and the die holder 20, and between the lower end face of the punch proper 12 and the punch plate 14. As a result, the die 2 and the punch plate 14 can also be replaced easily and with high accuracy, as noted above.

  • Like numerals in the figure correspond to those used in Fig. 1.
  • the stripper parallelism reference plane 9 formed on the stripper proper 6 and the punch parallelism reference plane 15 formed on the punch proper 12 are constructed so as to slidably come in contact with the end face of the parallelism reference jig plate 19 provided on the set holder 4. As a result, the stripper proper 6 or the punch proper 12 is prevented from being rotated even during its vertical movement.
  • the method of fixing the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 will be described.
  • the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 are fixedly fitted to the set holder 4. If the fixing positions of the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 are not accurate, high-precision machining is not possible. In this invention, therefore, the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 are accurately positioned using a fixing jig (not shown) in the following manner.
  • the fixing jig has such an outside diameter that the jig is vertically slidable with the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve 5, and is of a cylindrical or columnar shape having on the lower end face thereof a positioning means corresponding to the positioning means provided on the die holder 20.
  • the fixing jig is inserted into the sleeve 5 downwards from above until the jig reaches the die holder 20 in the state where those other than the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 are not installed, causing the positioning means of the fixing jig to match with the positioning means of the die holder 20.
  • the sleeve 5 and the die holder 20 are fixed at accurate positions by filling and curing adhesive in the gap provided in advance between the sleeve 5 and the outer circumferential surface of the die holder 20 and the set holder 4.
  • the punch-die set is set on a press table, for example, and the punch proper 12 is pushed downwards by exerting a pushing force to the stroke adjusting screws 17 and 18 by a press or cylinder ram (not shown).
  • the punch proper 12 is pushed downwards, the stripper spring 10 is first deflected, and then the entire punch mechanism is pushed down until the stripper plate 7 comes in contact with the workpiece 3 because the resiliency of the stripper spring 10 is smaller than the resiliency of the punch-proper spring 11.
  • the punch-proper spring 11 is deflected, and the punch 1, together with the punch proper 12, is pushed down by a predetermined stroke.
  • the workpiece 3 placed on the die 2 is pierced or blanked by the punch 1.
  • the stripper comprises a stripper proper formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, and a stripper plate detachably installed on the lower open end of the stripper proper and having a punch passing hole through which the punch is passed, the stripper proper need not be replaced during the replacement of the punch. This makes the replacement of the punch easy.
  • positioning means are provided between the stripper proper and the stripper plate, between the die and the die holder, and between the punch proper and the punch plate, positioning in the circumferential direction can be accurately and easily carried out during the replacement of punches and dies, and machining accuracy can also be improved.
  • this invention makes it possible to provide a punch-die set, in which punches and dies can be easily changed with changes in machining shape, etc., and machining accuracy can be improved.
  • the punch-die set according to this invention is useful as a punch-die set used for piercing and blanking sheet metal by installing on a punching press, etc., and is particularly suitable as a punch-die set in which punches and dies can be easily changed and accurately positioned.
