Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a press forming method of an L-shaped component capable of press forming the L-shaped component with a high yield from a material metal plate even when a high strength high-tensile material with low ductility is used as the material metal plate.SOLUTION: The method of forming the L-shaped press component is the method for forming the component having a top plate part, and a vertical wall part connected to the top plate part through a bent part having a portion curved in an arc shape and having a flange part on the side opposite from the bent part, wherein the outer side of the arc of the vertical wall part is the top plate part. The material metal plate is arranged between a die and a pad and a bending die, and the vertical wall part and the flange part are formed while sliding at least a part of the material metal plate on a portion corresponding to the top plate part of the die in the state that the pad is approached or brought into contact with the material metal plate.

Description

  The present invention relates to a press molding method of a part having an L shape used as a skeleton member of an automobile.

  The automobile skeleton structure is formed by joining skeleton members such as a front pillar reinforcement, a center pillar reinforcement, and a side sill outer reinforcement, which are manufactured by press molding from a raw metal plate. For example, FIG. 1 shows a skeletal structure 100 formed by joining skeletal members 110, 120, 130, and 140 by spot welding. The skeleton member 110 has an L-shape formed by the top plate portion 111, the vertical wall portion 112, and the flange portion 113, thereby ensuring the strength and rigidity of the skeleton structure 100.

  Usually, when a part having an L-shape such as the skeleton member 110 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an L-shaped part) is press-molded, a drawing method is employed to suppress the generation of wrinkles. The In the draw forming method, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a raw metal plate 300A is drawn into a formed body 300B using a die 201, a punch 202, and a wrinkle presser 203 (holder). For example, when the component 300 shown in FIG. 4A is manufactured by a drawing method, (1) the material metal plate 300A shown in FIG. 4B is installed between the die 201 and the punch 202, and (2) shown in FIG. 4C. The wrinkle holding region T around the raw metal plate 300A is strongly pressed by the wrinkle presser 203 and the die 201, and (3) the die 201 and the punch 202 are relatively moved in the press direction (vertical direction), and the raw metal plate 300A is shown in FIG. (4) Trim unnecessary portions around the drawn molded body 300B to obtain the component 300. According to this drawing method, the wrinkle presser 203 can control the flow of the metal material of the material metal plate 300A, so that the generation of wrinkles due to excessive inflow of the material metal plate 300A can be suppressed. However, since a large trim area is required around the material metal plate 300A, the yield decreases and the cost increases. Further, in the drawing process, as shown in FIG. 5, the drawn product 300B is likely to wrinkle in a region (α region) where the metal material flows excessively, while the plate thickness is locally reduced. In the region (β region) to be cracked, cracks are likely to occur. In order to prevent such cracks and wrinkles, it has been conventionally necessary to use a relatively low-strength metal plate having excellent ductility as the material metal plate 300A.

  As described above, high ductility is required for a drawn metal sheet. For example, when an L-shaped part is drawn by using a high-strength steel sheet having low ductility as a raw metal plate, cracks and wrinkles are likely to occur due to insufficient ductility. For this reason, conventionally, L-shaped parts such as front pillar reinforcement and center pillar reinforcement have been manufactured using a relatively low-strength steel plate having excellent ductility as a material metal plate. Therefore, in order to ensure the strength, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the material metal plate, and there are problems such as an increase in component weight and high cost. Such a problem also occurs when a skeleton member 110 ′ having a T-shape obtained by combining two L-shapes as shown in FIG. 2 is press-molded.

  Patent Documents 1 to 4 describe a bending method for manufacturing a part having a simple cross-sectional shape such as a hat shape or a Z-shaped shape. It cannot be used to manufacture parts.

  Hereinafter, the press molding method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

In the press molding method according to the present embodiment, the top plate portion 11 is connected to the top plate portion 11 via the bending portion 15 having the arcuately curved portion 15a, and the flange portion is provided on the opposite side of the bending portion 15. A part having a vertical wall portion 12 having 13 is formed from a steel plate S (raw metal plate). The top plate portion 11 exists outside the arc of the vertical wall portion 12. In this press forming method, at least a part of the steel sheet S (at least part of a region corresponding to the top plate part 11 in the steel plate S) is a part of the die die 51 corresponding to the top plate part 11. The vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13 are molded in a state in which sliding (in-plane movement) is allowed. More specifically, the steel plate S is disposed between the die die 51, the pad 52, and the bending die 53, and at least a part of the steel plate S is bonded to the steel plate S in a state where the pad 52 is close to or in contact with the steel plate S. The vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13 are formed while sliding on a portion of the mold 51 corresponding to the top plate portion 11.
Note that “the state where the pad is brought close to the steel plate” means that when the steel plate slides on the portion corresponding to the top plate portion of the die mold, the steel plate and the pad do not come into contact with each other. When the steel plate is about to be deformed out of plane (or buckled), it means that the steel plate and the pad are in contact with each other.

  In forming the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13, a part of the metal plate S may be pressed with a predetermined load pressure by the pad 52 as an out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F).

For example, when the pad load pressure is set high and the “part contacting the top plate portion of the die die 51” of the steel plate S cannot be sufficiently slid between the die die 51 and the pad 52 during the press. In such a case, a crack occurs in the flange portion 13.
Further, when the load pressure by the pad 52 is set low, and the out-of-plane deformation at the “part contacting the top plate portion of the die die 51” of the steel plate S cannot be restricted during pressing, wrinkles are generated at the top plate portion 11. Resulting in.
When a metal plate having a tensile strength of 200 MPa to 1600 MPa, which is generally used in automobile parts, is formed, cracking occurs in the flange portion 13 when pressed with a pressure of 30 MPa or more, while pressing with a pressure of 0.1 MPa or less. Since the out-of-plane deformation at the top plate portion 11 cannot be sufficiently suppressed, it is desirable to apply the pressure by the pad 52 at a pressure of 0.1 MPa or more and 30 MPa or less.
Further, considering a press machine and a die unit for manufacturing general automobile parts, since the load is small at 0.4 MPa or less, it is difficult to stably press the pad 52 with a gas cushion or the like. Therefore, it is more desirable to apply the pressure by the pad 52 at a pressure of 0.4 MPa or more and 15 MPa or less.
The pressure referred to here is an average surface pressure obtained by dividing the pad pressing force by the area of the contact portion between the pad 52 and the steel plate S, and there may be some variation locally.

  In forming the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13, a part of the steel sheet S is used as an out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F), and a portion close to or in contact with the out-of-plane suppression region of the pad is formed with the pad 52 and the die. You may shape | mold in the state which maintained the clearance gap with the metal mold | die 51 more than the board thickness of the steel plate S, and 1.1 times or less of board thickness.

For example, when forming in a state where the gap between the pad 52 corresponding to the top plate portion 11 and the die mold 51 is maintained to be not less than the plate thickness of the steel plate S and not more than 1.1 times the plate thickness, Since the excessive surface pressure is not applied, the steel plate S can be sufficiently slid (moved in the surface) in the mold unit 50 during pressing, and further, as the forming proceeds, a surplus of the top plate portion 11 is generated. When a force that deforms the steel sheet S out of the plane is applied, the out-of-plane deformation of the steel sheet S is constrained by the pad 52, so that generation of cracks and wrinkles can be suppressed.
When the gap between the pad 52 corresponding to the top plate portion 11 and the die mold 51 is set to be less than the plate thickness of the steel plate S, an excessive surface pressure is applied between the steel plate S and the die die 51. As a result, the steel sheet S cannot be sufficiently slid (in-plane movement) in the mold unit 50, and a crack occurs in the flange portion 13.
On the other hand, when the gap between the pad 52 corresponding to the top plate portion 11 and the die 51 is formed to be 1.1 times or more the plate thickness of the steel plate S, the out-of-plane deformation of the steel plate S is sufficiently performed during pressing. Since it is not restrained, as the forming progresses, the steel plate S is largely left in the top plate portion 11, so that not only significant wrinkles are generated in the top plate portion 11 but also buckling occurs, and it is formed into a predetermined shape. Can not be.
A part of a metal plate generally used in automobile parts or the like having a tensile strength of 200 MPa to 1600 MPa is used as an out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F). When molding is performed in a state where the gap between the die mold 51 is not less than the plate thickness and not more than 1.1 times the plate thickness, the gap between the pad 52 and the die mold 51 is not less than 1.03 times the plate thickness. In this case, since some wrinkles are generated, it is more preferable that the gap between the pad 52 and the die mold 51 is not less than the plate thickness and not more than 1.03 times the plate thickness.

  That is, in the press forming method according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the steel plate S is pressed, the vertical wall portion 12, the flange portion 13 connected to one end portion of the vertical wall portion 12, and the vertical wall portion 12. A top plate portion 11 connected to the opposite end of the flange portion 13 and extending in the opposite direction to the flange portion 13, and a part or the whole of the vertical wall so that the flange portion 13 is inside. In forming a curved L-shape, the steel plate S having a shape in which the end of the portion corresponding to the lower side of the L-shape of the steel plate S is in the top plate portion 11 is disposed on the die mold 51. Then, the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13 are pressed by the bending die 53 while pressing the top plate portion 11 with the pad 52 or bringing them close to each other. 8A shows the behavior of the steel sheet S during pressing with respect to the arrow aa in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8B shows the behavior of the steel sheet S during pressing with respect to the arrow bb in FIG. Shows behavior.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the L-shaped component 10 includes a planar top plate portion 11 having an L shape, a vertical wall portion 12, and a flange portion 13. The top plate portion 11 is connected to the vertical wall portion 12 via a bent portion 15 including a portion 15a curved in an arc shape. The arc of the portion 15a that is curved in an arc shape has a shape having a certain curvature, an elliptical shape, a shape having a plurality of curvatures, or a shape including a straight portion, as viewed from the press direction. That is, in the L-shaped component 10, the top plate portion 11 exists outside the arc of the arcuate portion 15 a, and the inside of the arc of the arcuate portion 15 a (on the center point side of the arc) ) Has a flange portion 13. In addition, the top plate part 11 does not need to be a perfect plane, and various additional shapes may be given to the top plate part 11 based on the design of the press product.

  In this invention, as shown in FIG. 6, it is far from the edge part (end part below L-shape) of the bending part 15 among the both ends of the site | part 15a which is curving in the arc shape of the L-shaped component 10. The end of the position is called end A (first end), and the end near the end of the bent portion 15 (end on the lower side of the L shape) is the end B (second end). Call it. The bent portion 15 extends substantially linearly to the outside of the end portion A (on the opposite side of the end portion B) 15b and to the outside of the end portion B (on the opposite side of the end portion A). It has an existing portion 15c. The end B of the portion 15 a that is curved in an arc shape may be the same point as the end of the bent portion 15. In this case, there is no portion 15c extending substantially linearly outside the end portion B (opposite the end portion A).

The steel plate S has a shape in which the L-shaped component 10 is developed. That is, the steel plate S has portions corresponding to the top plate portion 11, the vertical wall portion 12, the flange portion 13, and the like in the L-shaped component 10.
As the steel sheet S (material metal plate), a pre-processed steel plate (material metal plate) that has been subjected to pre-processing such as press forming, bending, or drilling may be used.

  In forming the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13, an end portion that is one end portion of a portion 15 a that is curved in an arc shape of the bent portion 15 when viewed from the vertical direction (press direction) of the surface of the top plate portion 11. Of the region of the top plate 11 that is bisected by the tangent to the boundary between the bent portion 15 and the top plate portion 11 at A (first end), Of the region including the end B (second end) which is the other end, a region in contact with the top plate surface of the die mold 51 (the surface corresponding to the top plate portion of the steel plate S) (in FIG. 10) It is preferable that the hatched portion is pressed as an out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F). In this case, the wrinkle generation of the top plate part 11 and the vertical wall part 12 can be suppressed. In pressurizing the pad, the entire surface of the die plate 51 of the steel plate S contacting the top plate surface or the top plate surface of the die die 51 of the steel plate S including the entire out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) is applied. Although it is preferable to use a pad having a shape that covers a part of the contacting portion, for example, when there is an additional shape in the out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) due to the design of the product, avoid the additional shape portion, At least an out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) that includes a region within 5 mm from the boundary line that is in contact with the boundary line with the arcuate portion of the bent portion and that is out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) ) Of a shape that covers an area of 50% or more. Furthermore, it is possible to use a pad in which the pressing surface is separated.

  Further, in the steel plate S, at least a region within 5 mm from the boundary line of the top plate portion 11 that is in contact with the boundary line between the top plate portion 11 and the bent portion 15 and the portion 15a that is curved in an arc shape. Is preferably pressurized with a pad 52. On the other hand, for example, when only the area within 4 mm from the boundary line is pressed with the pad 52, wrinkles are likely to occur in the top plate portion 11. However, the occurrence of wrinkles does not have a significant effect on product strength compared to the occurrence of cracks.

FIG. 7 shows a mold unit 50 used in the press molding method according to the present embodiment. The mold unit 50 includes a die mold 51, a pad 52, and a bending mold 53.
The drive mechanism of the pad 52 used when pressurizing the steel sheet S to such an extent that the in-plane movement of the portion corresponding to the out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) is allowed may be a spring or hydraulic pressure, and the gas cushion is padded. 52 may be used.
Moreover, the state which maintained the clearance gap between the pad 52 and the die metal mold | die 51 more than the plate | board thickness of the steel plate S and 1.1 times or less of plate | board thickness about the part which adjoins or contacts an out-of-plane deformation | transformation suppression area | region (area | region F). The drive mechanism of the pad 52 used when the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13 are molded may be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic servo device.

  In the press forming method according to this embodiment, a steel plate S having a shape obtained by developing a formed body shown in FIG. 9A is placed on a die die 51 as shown in FIG. 9B, and an L-shaped part is formed. In a state where the portion corresponding to the top plate portion 11 of 10 is pressed toward the die die 51 by the pad 52, the bending die 53 is lowered in the pressing direction P, and the vertical wall portion is shown in FIG. 9C. 12 and the flange portion 13 can be formed.

  As described above, the steel sheet S is deformed along the shapes of the vertical wall portion 12 and the flange portion 13 by lowering the bending die 53 in the pressing direction. At this time, a portion of the steel sheet S corresponding to the vertical wall portion 12 on the lower side of the L shape flows into the vertical wall portion 12. That is, in the steel plate S, the position corresponding to the top plate portion 11 on the lower side of the L-shape is stretched. Therefore, in the case of the conventional drawing, the top plate is likely to be wrinkled due to excessive metal material inflow. Generation of wrinkles in the portion 11 is suppressed. Moreover, in the steel plate S, the position corresponding to the flange portion 13 on the lower side of the L-shape is not excessively stretched. Generation of cracks is suppressed. Moreover, since it suppresses generation | occurrence | production of a wrinkle and a crack in this way, like the conventional forming method, in the site | part corresponding to the L-shaped lower side part of L-shaped part among the steel plates S, it is for wrinkle suppression It is not necessary to provide a large trim area.

  The shape of the steel sheet S may be any shape as long as at least a portion of the end portion is in the same plane of the top plate portion 11 (a shape in which the end portion is not caught during press forming). That is, as shown in FIG. 10, it is preferable that the end portion of the steel plate S corresponding to the out-of-plane deformation suppression region (region F) is on the same plane as the top plate portion 11.

  When the height H of the vertical wall portion 12 to be formed is less than 0.2 times the length of the arcuately curved portion 15a of the bent portion 15 or less than 20 mm, the vertical wall Wrinkles are likely to occur in the portion 12. Therefore, the height H of the vertical wall portion 12 is preferably 0.2 times or more of the length of the arcuate portion 15a of the bent portion 15 or 20 mm or more.

  In addition, since reduction in sheet thickness due to forming is suppressed, not only a steel plate having high ductility and relatively low strength (for example, a steel plate having a breaking strength of about 1600 MPa), but also a steel plate having low ductility and a relatively high strength (for example, breaking strength). Even if a steel plate of about 400 MPa is used, it can be pressed well. Therefore, as the steel plate S, a high strength steel plate having a breaking strength of 400 MPa or more and 1600 MPa or less can be used.

Furthermore, the press-molding method according to this embodiment, the center of curvature of the vertical wall, the width h _i of the upper flange portion 13 is 25mm or more, or if less than 100mm. More specifically, of the flange portion 13, the portion of the vertical wall portion 12 that is connected to the portion 15 a that is curved in an arc shape of the bent portion 15 and the portion that is connected to the opposite side of the top plate portion 11. long direction (circumferential direction) from the center line C of the end a side of the flange portion 13a, and, in the flange portion 13b of 50mm destination portion than the flange of the end a side (i.e., the area O), 25 mm width _{h i} It is preferable to perform press molding so as to be 100 mm or less.
Width h _i is an arbitrary position of the flange end of the flange portion 13a and the flange portion 13b, the shortest from the arbitrary position, is defined by the distance between the position of the boundary line between the vertical wall portion and the flange portion.
In the flange portion 13a and the flange portion 13b, when the width h _i exists places less than 25 mm, thickness reduction in the flange portion is increased and cracking tends to occur. This is because the force that draws the tip of the L-shaped lower side portion into the vertical wall portion 12 in the molding process concentrates in the vicinity of the flange portion.
On the other hand, in the flange portion 13a and the flange portion 13b, when the width _{h i} is present location of 100mm greater than the amount that is compressed is increased in the flange portion 13, wrinkles are likely to occur.
Therefore, by setting the width _{h i} and 25mm or more and less than 100mm, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles and cracks in the flange portion 13.
Therefore, when the width h _i of the flange portion of the L-shaped inside to produce shaped parts of less than 25mm is an L-shape with a 25mm or more flanges after press forming, to trim unnecessary portions It is preferable to prepare by.

Further, the radius of curvature of the maximum curvature portion of the vertical wall portion 12, that is, the radius of curvature of the maximum curvature portion of the boundary line between the arcuate portion 15 a of the bent portion 15 and the top plate portion 11 (R _MAX ) is preferably 5 mm or more and 300 mm or less.
When the radius of curvature of the maximum curvature portion is less than 5 mm, the periphery of the maximum curvature portion projects locally, so that cracking is likely to occur.
On the other hand, when the radius of curvature of the maximum curvature portion is more than 300 mm, the length of the tip of the L-shaped lower portion becomes long, and the distance drawn into the inside of the L-shape (vertical wall portion 12) increases during the press molding process. The sliding distance between the mold unit 50 and the steel sheet S is increased, the wear of the mold unit 50 is promoted, and the mold life is shortened. The curvature radius of the maximum curvature portion is more preferably 100 mm or less.

In the above-described embodiment, the method for forming a member having one L-shape is taken as an example, but the present invention is a member having two L-shapes (such as a T-shaped member), Or it is applicable also to shaping | molding of the member (Y-shaped member etc.) which has two or more L-shaped shapes. That is, when press-molding a shape having a plurality of L-shaped shapes, the above-described L-shaped molding method is used for molding one L-shaped shape, a plurality of L-shaped shapes, or all L-shaped shapes. You may shape | mold by. Moreover, the top plate part 11 may have an L shape, a T shape, or a Y shape. Furthermore, it may have a T-shape or Y-shape that is asymmetric on the left and right.
Further, the vertical positional relationship between the die mold 51 and the bending mold 53 is not limited in the present invention.
Furthermore, the material metal plate in the present invention is not limited to the steel plate S alone. For example, you may use the raw material metal plate suitable for press molding, such as an aluminum plate and a Cu-Al alloy plate.
