Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of stamping, more precisely the shaping of a part, in particular of a bodywork or vehicle structure, by stamping a sheet metal blank.
  • tooling comprising a die
  • a punch and blank holders is usually used.
  • the blank holders are mounted laterally with the punch and sliding against elastic forces produced by the springs.
  • the die in the lower position, comprises lateral portions cooperating with the blank holders in order to clamp the edges of the sheet metal blank placed on the die. This clamping takes place during the downward movement of the punch towards the die, as soon as the blank holders contact the edges of the sheet metal blank, pressing them against the lateral portions of the die, against the elastic forces of the springs.
  • the punch contacts the central portion of the sheet metal blank, the latter is deformed towards the die. The sheet then undergoes warping deformations generating tensile forces which can cause the sheet to slide along the blank holders.
  • the purpose of the blank holders is to retain the sheet blank and, therefore, to generate elongation deformations of the sheet in order to avoid the formation of corrugations. Indeed, depending on the shape given to the stamping, the swallowing of sheet metal during shaping can cause compressive forces by excess of material, which can cause undulations. This is particularly the case when the stamping has a generally conical shape.
  • the document FR 3 012 055 describes a tool and a stamping process of this type.
  • the retention of the sheet blank by the blank holders can sometimes lead to excessive extension deformations leading to excessively small thicknesses, or even to ruptures.
  • the invention according to independent claims 1 and 5 aims to overcome at least one of the drawbacks of the state of the art, in this case of the aforementioned state of the art. More particularly, the object of the invention is to propose a solution for the shaping of open stampings.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for forming a part by stamping a sheet blank, comprising the following steps: (a) placing the sheet blank on a forming tool by stamping comprising a die and a punch capable of cooperating by engagement with the die; (b) mutual bringing together of the die and the punch in a direction of work, with a view to forming the part; in step (a), the sheet metal blank comprising at least one tab with at least one edge, and in step (b), the or each of the tabs being folded between the die and the punch and ensures retention of the sheet metal blank, the sheet metal blank being generally elongated in a longitudinal direction, the or each of the edges comprising the tab (s) being at one end, in said direction, of the sheet metal blank, the tool comprising at least one blank holder disposed laterally to one of the punch and the die and capable of clamping the sheet blank with the other of the punch and the die, the blank holder (s) being mounted to slide against an elastic force , in step (b), the or
  • the or each of the edges comprising the tab (s) forms a final edge of the part.
  • the tab (s) leave the blank holder (s) before the end of step (b).
  • the goal is for the leg (s) to be of minimum size. It is therefore useful for the blank holder (s) to interact with the leg (s) only at the start of step (b).
  • the tab (s) can leave the blank holder (s) at the latest at the halfway point for forming the sheet metal blank by the die and the punch in step (b).
  • the tab (s) are folded in the direction of work of the die and of the punch.
  • the or each of the legs comprises a bent portion forming a radius of curvature of between 1 and 10mm, preferably between 2 and 8mm.
  • the measures of the invention are advantageous in that they make it possible to produce stamped parts while saving material while controlling the shaping by adequate retention of the sheet during said shaping.
  • the figure 1 is a plan view of a sheet metal blank 2 intended to be shaped by stamping with a tool and according to a method in accordance with the invention.
  • the sheet metal blank 2 comprises a central portion 2 1 with several edges or sides. It also includes a tab 2 2 on one of its edges.
  • tab is meant a portion of sheet, integrally formed with the central portion, projecting from an edge of the central portion. It is thus a projecting portion, preferably generally flat with the central portion. Given that the portion is protruding, it has a width less than that of the edge from which it originates.
  • the sheet blank 2 extends in a longitudinal direction, and the tab 2 2 is located on an edge or side corresponding to one end of said blank along its longitudinal axis.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the principle of the stamping tool according to the invention and used to carry out the stamping process according to the invention.
  • the tooling comprises a die 4, a punch 8 and one or more blank holder 6.
  • the latter or the latter are mounted to slide along the periphery of the punch 8, against elastic forces generated by springs, not shown.
  • the sheet metal blank 2 is deposited on the blank holders 6 while the tool is in the open position.
  • the blank holders 6 are in the high position, that is to say more higher than that of the punch, and the sheet metal blank can be placed on the blank holders 6.
  • the figure 3 illustrates the situation where the die 4 has started its downward movement towards the punch 8 and where its end portions 4 1 and 4 2 are in contact with the sheet blank 2.
  • the enlarged portion of the figure 3 shows that the tab 2 2 of the sheet metal blank 2 is clamped between the portion 4 1 of the die 4 and the blank holder 6.
  • the figure 4 illustrates the process of shaping the figure 3 at a later stage, where the die 4 has moved closer to the punch 8 at a point where the contact face of the portion 4 1 of the die is aligned with the contact face facing the punch 8, to the thickness of the sheet metal.
  • the blank holder 6 therefore began its descent against the elastic forces of its springs.
  • the figure 5 illustrates a step in the figure 3 and 4 , at a later stage than that of the figure 4 , namely that the downward movement of the die 4 has the effect of bending the tab 2 2 downwards, in the space provided between the faces of the punch and of the die which are opposite (visible at the enlarged area of the figure 3 ).
  • the tab 2 2 thus folded then forms a brake for resurfacing the sheet metal blank for the remainder of the forming process.
  • the tab 2 2 forms a bent portion whose sliding along the corresponding edge of the punch generates a retaining force, in the manner of the blank holder. It is however understood that at the stage of figure 5 , depending on the length of the tab 2 2 , the blank holder 6 no longer has or almost no grip on said tab.
  • the radius of curvature R of the edge of the punch 8 forming the bent portion of the tab 2 2 is between 1 and 10mm, advantageously between 2 and 8mm. Such values provide an interesting resistance force in that it is sufficient without blocking the sliding of the tab.
  • the figure 6 illustrates a final or near-final stage of the shaping process of figures 3 to 5 .
  • the tab 2 2 is deformed by sliding along the contact surface of the punch following the tensile forces generated by the deformation of the central portion 2 1 generated by the coming together of the die 4 and the punch 8.
  • the figure 7 illustrates in perspective the shape that the sheet metal blank 2 gradually takes, essentially at the four stages of the forming process illustrated in figures 3 to 6 , respectively.
  • the representation in the upper position corresponds to the stage of figure 3 and the representation in the lower position corresponds to part 10 after stamping.
  • the part 10, in this case is a spar part. This piece is generally elongated. It can be observed that the left end of the part, in its longitudinal direction, is open, namely that the corresponding edge 10 1 of the sheet blank thus formed must not undergo a cutting step (trimming). It can also be observed that the right-hand end of the part, still in its longitudinal direction, is semi-open, namely that it has a partially final edge 10 2.
  • the tab 2 2 is present on this edge 10 2 but occupies a small space and does not necessarily have to be cut. It can be sized so as not to interfere with the assembly of the part during its assembly.
  • the longitudinal edges 10 3 and 10 4 for their part comprise portions intended to be cut. Indeed, these portions served to retain the sheet transversely to its main direction during its shaping, which made it possible to ensure satisfactory shaping.
  • the deformation applied to the sheet in this direction is indeed large in comparison with the deformations in the longitudinal direction.
