Description

The present invention relates to a press device and a method for manufacturing a press-molded product.

Generally, in a press device, a press target material is placed between a pair of dies and the pair of dies are brought close to each other to press the press target material into a shape corresponding to the shape of the machined surface of the die. Mold. The pair of dies are supported by a pair of support members that can move relative to each other in the press direction. The pair of support members are, for example, a slider and a bolster. During press molding, a press load is applied from the support member to the die. At this time, the support member may bend due to the reaction force from the mold to the support member. This deflection can affect the shape accuracy of the press-molded product.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-179486 (Patent Document 1) proposes a press device for suppressing bending generated in a die due to a reaction force during press molding. This press device includes a rigidity distribution member disposed between the die and the support member. The stiffness distribution member exhibits a predetermined distribution in a plane in which the stiffness with respect to compression in the press direction is orthogonal to the press direction.

Further, Japanese Patent No. 4305645 (Patent Document 2) discloses that a plate forming simulation is performed to obtain a bending distribution of a mold according to a forming stroke.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-179486 Japanese Patent No. 4305645

In the above-mentioned conventional press device, it is necessary to prepare a rigidity distribution member. It is not easy to obtain an arbitrary distribution of rigidity by varying the rigidity in one member. There is also a method of changing the structure of the support portion or the backup structure thereof in order to reduce the deflection of the support portion (for example, a slide and the bolster) of the press machine. This is a large-scale, high-cost measure, and its effect is often limited.

It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a press device capable of reducing the influence of bending of a support portion of a die on press molding with a simple configuration, and a method for manufacturing a press-molded product.

The press device has a first die portion having a first processed surface in contact with one surface of the press target material during press forming, and a second processed surface in contact with the other surface of the press target material during press forming. A second mold portion that can reciprocate in the press direction with respect to the second mold portion, the first support portion that supports the first mold portion, and the first support portion, and supports the second mold portion. It is equipped with a support part. At least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is in a no-load state in at least a part of the overlapping region where the first processed surface and the second processed surface overlap when viewed from the pressing direction.

The minimum dimension in the pressing direction of the gap in the inner region inside the center line, which is the set of the midpoints of the line segments connecting the center of gravity of the overlapping region and the arbitrary position of the outer edge of the overlapping region, in the no-load state is It is smaller than the minimum dimension in the pressing direction in the no-load state of the gap in the outer region outside the center line.

(Structure 1)
The press device according to the embodiment of the present invention is a press device that press-molds a material to be pressed. The press device has a first die portion having a first processed surface in contact with one surface of the press target material during press forming, and a second processed surface in contact with the other surface of the press target material during press forming. A second mold portion that can reciprocate in the press direction with respect to the second mold portion, the first support portion that supports the first mold portion, and the first support portion, and supports the second mold portion. It is equipped with a support part. At least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is at least a part of an overlapping region overlapping the first machined surface and the second machined surface when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. Has a gap in which the dimensions in the pressing direction are not uniform.

In press molding by a press device, the material to be pressed is arranged between the first processed surface of the first die portion and the second processed surface of the second die portion. The first machined surface and the second machined surface (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a machined surface) have a shape corresponding to the target shape of the press-molded product. When the first support portion and the second support portion are relatively close to each other in the pressing direction, the press target material between the first die portion and the second die portion is press-formed. In press forming, the first processed surface is in contact with one surface of the material to be pressed, and the second processed surface is in contact with the other surface opposite to one surface of the material to be pressed. The shape of the press-molded product is determined by the state in which the first die portion and the second die portion are closest to each other, that is, the space shape (clearance) between the first machined surface and the second machined surface at bottom dead center. .. The shape of the machined surface does not necessarily have to be the same as the target shape of the press-molded product. For example, in consideration of the amount of elastic deformation after pressing such as springback (elastic recovery), a shape different from the target shape of the press-molded product may be used as the shape of the machined surface.

In the above configuration 1, the press device is machined in at least one of the first die portion and the second mold portion (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a die portion) in a no-load state when viewed from the pressing direction. In the overlapping region that overlaps the surface, a gap is provided in which the dimensions in the pressing direction are not uniform. At the time of press molding, at least one of the first support portion and the second support portion (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a support portion) may bend due to the press load. The mold part is deformed by the deflection of the support part. The inventors have found that by providing the above-mentioned non-uniform gap in the mold portion in a no-load state, the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion during press molding can be absorbed by the non-uniform gap. I found it. Therefore, by providing a non-uniform gap in the die portion in the no-load state as described above, it is possible to reduce the deformation of the die portion due to the deflection of the support portion of the press molding. As a result, it is possible to reduce the deformation of the machined surface of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion. In this way, with a simple structure, the influence of the bending of the support portion of the die on the press molding can be reduced. The effects on press molding include, for example, molding defects such as cracks and wrinkles, and a decrease in shape accuracy of the press-molded product.

The no-load state is a state in which no press load is applied to the die portion. Further, the gap between the first mold portion and at least one of the second mold portions is the gap between the first mold portion and the first support portion, or the gap between the second mold portion and the second mold portion. It may be a gap between the support portions, or it may be a gap inside the first mold portion or the second mold portion. The gap inside the first mold portion or the second mold portion may be, for example, a gap between a plurality of members constituting the first mold portion or the second mold portion. In this way, the gap can be a gap between two adjacent members of the member in contact with the mold portion or the mold portion. That is, the above-mentioned gap is provided between the surface of one member of two adjacent members and the surface of the other member facing the surface. Both of the two adjacent members may be constituent members of the mold portion, or one of them may be a constituent member of the support portion in contact with the mold portion. As an example, the gap in the no-load state can be a gap between a convex surface of one member of two adjacent members protruding in the press direction and a plane of the other member facing the convex surface. ..

In the configuration 1, at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is at least a part of an overlapping region where the first machined surface and the second machined surface overlap when viewed from the pressing direction. In addition, there may be a gap in which the dimensions in the press direction in the no-load state are not uniform in the two directions orthogonal to each other when viewed from the press direction. In this case, the minimum in the pressing direction in the no-load state of the gap in the inner region inside the center line, which is a set of the midpoints of the line segments connecting the center of gravity of the overlapping region and an arbitrary position of the outer edge of the overlapping region. The dimension may be smaller than the minimum dimension in the pressing direction in the no-load state of the gap in the outer region outside the center line. As a result, it is possible to reduce the influence of the bending of the support portion of the die on the press molding with a simple configuration. For example, when the first support portion and the second support portion bend in a bowl shape centering on the first mold portion and the second mold portion in the press direction, the bending can be efficiently absorbed in the gap. can.

The outer edge of the overlapping region seen from the pressing direction is a closed line (annular). Therefore, the central line, which is a set of midpoints of lines connecting the center of gravity and an arbitrary point on the outer edge, is a closed line (annular). The minimum dimension of the gap in the pressing direction in each of the inner region and the outer region is the dimension in the pressing direction of the gap at the point where the dimension in the pressing direction of the gap is minimized in each of the inner region and the outer region.

In the two directions orthogonal to each other in the pressing direction, the minimum dimension of the gap in the inner region in the no-load state in the pressing direction may be smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap in the outer region in the no-load state in the pressing direction. As a result, the bowl-shaped bending centered on the first mold portion and the second mold portion can be more efficiently absorbed by the gap. For example, in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the overlapping region, the minimum dimension of the gap in the unloaded state of the inner region may be smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap in the unloaded state of the outer region.

(Structure 2)
In the above configuration 1, the amount of deformation of the gap in the pressing direction at the bottom dead center of the overlapping region with respect to the gap in the no-load state is the bottom dead center of the first machined surface and the second machined surface in the no-load state. It may be larger than the amount of deformation of the first machined surface and the second machined surface in the pressing direction. As a result, it is possible to reduce the influence of the bending of the support portion of the die on the press molding with a simple configuration.

For example, the shape of the first machined surface and the second machined surface in the no-load state is the same as the shape of the first machined surface and the second machined surface at bottom dead center. A gap may be configured. In addition, in the form in which the shapes of the first machined surface and the second machined surface in the no-load state and the shapes of the first machined surface and the second machined surface at the bottom dead center are the same, the shape accuracy of the press-molded product is improved. It shall also include the case where the shape is slightly changed to the extent that the influence can be ignored.

(Structure 3)
Of the overlapping regions, the minimum dimension of the gap in the forming surface region in which the first processed surface and the second processed surface contribute to the displacement of the material to be pressed in the pressing direction in the pressing direction is the forming surface region. It may be smaller than the minimum dimension in the pressing direction of the gap in the peripheral region outside the. As a result, the influence of the bending of the support portion of the mold in the region centered on the molding surface of the mold on the press molding can be efficiently reduced.

(Structure 4)
In any of the above configurations 1 to 3, at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is inside the outer edge of the region when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. May include a portion where the dimension of the gap in the press direction becomes smaller.

By reducing the gap on the inner side of the outer edge of the region overlapping the first machined surface and the second machined surface when viewed from the pressing direction, the inventors absorb the deformation of the die portion due to the deflection of the support part by the gap. I found that it can be done easily. By making the gap in the inner portion smaller than the gap in the outer edge portion of the region overlapping the machined surface as in the above configuration 4, the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion can be further reduced.

(Structure 5)
In any of the above configurations 1 to 4, the gap is an uneven surface of the first mold portion facing the first support portion, or a surface of the second mold portion facing the second support portion. It may be provided by at least one of the irregularities of. As a result, a gap for absorbing the deformation due to the bending of the support portion can be provided at a position close to the support portion of the mold portion.

(Structure 6)
In the above configuration 5, at least one of the unevenness of the surface of the first mold portion facing the first support portion and the unevenness of the surface of the second mold portion facing the second support portion is unloaded. In the state, a portion where the degree of protrusion in the press direction is larger on the inner side than the outer edge of the overlapping region when viewed from the press direction may be included. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion.

For example, at least one of the surface of the first mold portion facing the first support portion or the surface of the second mold portion facing the second support portion is viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. It may include an inclined surface whose degree of protrusion increases as it enters the inside from the outer edge of the overlapping region.

(Structure 7)
In any of the above configurations 1 to 6, the gap is an insertion plate inserted between the first mold portion and the first support portion, or the second mold portion and the second support portion. It may be provided by at least one of the insertion plates inserted between them. As a result, a gap for absorbing the deformation due to the bending of the support portion can be provided at a position close to the support portion of the mold portion. Further, by replacing the insertion plate, the shape of the gap can be easily changed. The insertion plate may be, for example, an insertion plate having a non-uniform thickness.

(Structure 8)
In the configuration 7, at least one of the insertion plate inserted between the first mold portion and the first support portion, or the insertion plate inserted between the second mold portion and the second support portion. May include a portion where the thickness is larger on the inner side than the outer edge of the overlapping region when viewed from the pressing direction in the no-load state. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion.

For example, at least one of the insertion plate inserted between the first mold portion and the first support portion or the insertion plate inserted between the second mold portion and the second support portion is absent. In the loaded state, a portion whose thickness increases from the outer edge of the overlapping region to the inside when viewed from the pressing direction may be included. For example, the insert plate may include an inclined surface that is inclined so as to increase in thickness from the outer edge of the overlapping region to the inside.

(Structure 9)
In any of the above 1 to 8, at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is a machined surface portion including the first machined surface or the second machined surface, and a base to which the machined surface portion is attached. It may have a part. In this case, the gap may be provided between the machined surface portion and the base portion in at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion. Further, the gap may be provided by the unevenness of the surface of the machined surface portion facing the base portion or the surface of the base portion facing the machined surface portion. As a result, it is possible to provide a gap for absorbing the deformation due to the bending of the support portion at a position close to the machined surface of the mold portion. Therefore, it becomes easy to reduce the deformation of the machined surface which affects the shape accuracy of the press-molded product.

(Structure 10)
In the above configuration 9, the unevenness of the surface of the machined surface portion facing the base portion or the unevenness of the surface of the base portion facing the machined surface portion is inside the outer edge of the overlapping region when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. It may include a portion where the degree of protrusion in the pressing direction is larger. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion.

For example, the surface of the machined surface portion facing the base portion or the surface of the base portion facing the machined surface portion has a degree of protrusion as it enters the inside from the outer edge of the overlapping region when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. May include an inclined surface in which is increased.

(Structure 11)
In any of the above configurations 1 to 10, at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion attaches the machined surface portion including the first machined surface or the second machined surface and the machined surface portion. It may have a base portion. The gap may be provided by an insertion plate inserted between the machined surface portion and the base portion in at least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion. As a result, it is possible to provide a gap for absorbing the deformation due to the bending of the support portion at a position close to the machined surface of the mold portion. Further, by replacing the insertion plate, the shape of the gap can be easily changed. The insertion plate may be, for example, an insertion plate having a non-uniform thickness.

(Structure 12)
In the above configuration 11, the insertion plate inserted between the machined surface portion and the base portion includes a portion where the thickness is larger on the inner side than the outer edge of the overlapping region when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. It may be. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion.

For example, the insertion plate inserted between the machined surface portion and the base portion may include a portion whose thickness increases from the outer edge of the overlapping region to the inside when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. For example, the insert plate may include an inclined surface that is inclined so as to increase in thickness from the outer edge of the overlapping region to the inside.

(Production method)
A method for manufacturing a press-molded product using a press device is also included in the embodiment of the present invention. In the manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the material to be pressed is placed between the first die portion supported by the first support portion of the press device and the second die portion supported by the second support portion. In the step of arranging, the first support portion and the second support portion are relatively close to each other in the pressing direction, and the first processed surface of the first die portion is brought into contact with one surface of the press target material. The present invention includes a step of bringing the second processed surface of the second die portion into contact with the other surface of the material to be pressed to perform press molding. At least one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion is in a no-load state in at least a part of the overlapping region where the first processed surface and the second processed surface overlap when viewed from the pressing direction. Has a gap that is not uniform in two directions in which the dimensions in the press direction are orthogonal to each other when viewed from the press direction. In the press molding, the dimensions of the gap in the press direction in at least a part of the region are closer to more uniform than in the no-load state. It should be noted that this manufacturing method can be carried out using any of the press devices of the above configurations 1 to 12.

According to the above manufacturing method, by providing the above-mentioned non-uniform gap in the mold portion in a no-load state, it is possible to absorb the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion during press molding in this non-uniform gap. can. As a result, it is possible to reduce the deformation of the machined surface of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion. In this way, with a simple structure, the influence of the bending of the support portion of the die on the press molding can be reduced.

The minimum dimensions of the gap in the inner region inside the center of gravity of the overlapping region and the outer edge in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the overlapping region in the no-load state when viewed from the pressing direction are the center of gravity and the outer edge. It may be smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap in the pressing direction in the outer region outside the center of the.

The amount of change in the press-direction dimension of the gap in the molded surface region at the bottom dead center with respect to the press-direction dimension of the gap in the molded surface region in the no-load state is the change in the press-direction dimension of the gap in the molded surface region. 2. It may be larger than the amount of change in the shape at the bottom dead center with respect to the shape of the machined surface.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will not be repeated. In addition, in order to make the explanation easy to understand, in the drawings referred to below, the configuration is shown in a simplified or schematic manner, or some constituent members are omitted.

[Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration example of a press device according to the present embodiment. The press device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a first mold portion 2, a second mold portion 3, a first support portion 4, a second support portion 5, a frame 6, and a slide drive portion 7.

The first support portion 4 is a bolster as an example. The first support portion 4 supports the first mold portion 2. That is, the first mold portion 2 is attached to and fixed to the first support portion 4. The first mold portion 2 has a first machined surface 2a. The first processed surface 2a is in contact with one surface of the material W to be pressed during press molding. The shape of the first machined surface 2a may be the same as the target shape of the press-molded product. Alternatively, the shape of the first machined surface 2a may be a shape obtained by subtracting the amount of elastic deformation of the press molding such as springback (elastic recovery) from the target shape of the press-molded product.

The second support portion 5 is a slide (ram) as an example. The second support portion 5 supports the second mold portion 3. That is, the second mold portion 3 is attached to and fixed to the second support portion 5. The second mold portion 3 has a second machined surface 3a. The second processed surface 3a is in contact with the other surface (the surface opposite to one surface) of the material W to be pressed during press molding. The shape of the second machined surface 3a may be the same as the target shape of the press-molded product. Alternatively, the shape of the second machined surface 3a may be a shape obtained by subtracting the amount of elastic deformation of the press molding such as springback (elastic recovery) from the target shape of the press-molded product.

The second support portion 5 can reciprocate with respect to the first support portion 4 in the press direction. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first support portion 4 is fixed to the frame 6. The second support portion 5 is attached to the frame 6 so as to be reciprocating in the press direction. In FIG. 1, the pressing direction is indicated by an arrow P. The slide drive unit 7 reciprocates the second support unit 5 with respect to the frame 6 in the press direction. The drive method of the slide drive unit 7 may be, for example, a mechanical type or a hydraulic type. Examples of the mechanical type include a crank mechanism, a knuckle mechanism, a link mechanism, and the like. An example of the hydraulic slide drive unit 7 is one having a hydraulic cylinder. Further, the slide drive unit may be configured to be driven and controlled by using a servomotor regardless of whether it is a mechanical type or a hydraulic type.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the frame 6 has a bed on which the first support 4 (bolster) is placed, a column extending upward from the bed, and a crown bridged over the column. A slide drive portion 7 is arranged between the crown and the second support portion 5.

FIG. 1 shows a press device 1 in a no-load state. In the no-load state, the first mold portion 2 has a gap S1 and the second mold portion 3 has a gap S2. The dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 in the press direction in the no-load state are not uniform in at least a part of the overlapping region R1 overlapping the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a when viewed from the press direction.

The gaps S1 and S2 are between a convex surface protruding in the pressing direction or a concave surface recessed in the pressing direction of the constituent members of the pressing device and a surface perpendicular to the pressing direction of the constituent member of the pressing device facing (opposing) the convex surface. Can be a space of.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 at the center of the overlapping region R1 in the pressing direction are smaller than the dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 at the ends of the overlapping region R1 in the pressing direction. The dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 in the pressing direction gradually decrease from the outer edge of the overlapping region R1 toward the inside. That is, the dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 in the press direction are the smallest in the central portion of the overlapping region R1 and increase as they approach the end from the central portion of the overlapping region R1. As described above, it is preferable that the gaps S1 and S2 have a portion that becomes smaller as it enters the inside from the outer edge of the overlapping region R1. As a result, the deformations of the first and second mold portions 2 and 3 due to the deflection of the first and second support portions 4 and 5 during press molding can be easily absorbed by the gaps S1 and S2.

FIG. 1 is a side view seen from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the overlapping region. FIG. 1 shows the shapes of the gaps S1 and S1 in the longitudinal direction. In the example shown in FIG. 1, in the longitudinal direction of the overlapping region R1, the minimum dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 in the inner region R1u inside the center of gravity G and the outer edge E1 of the overlapping region R1 in the pressing direction are the center of gravity G and the outer edge E1. It is smaller than the minimum dimension in the press direction of the gaps S1 and S2 in the outer region R1s outside the center of. Further, although not shown, the minimum dimension of the gaps S1 and S2 in the inner region R1u is smaller than the minimum dimension of the outer region R1s even in the lateral direction of the overlapping region R1. By configuring the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state in this way, the deflection of the press device 1 is efficiently absorbed by the gaps S1 and S2, and the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a at the bottom dead center. Can be suppressed. The longitudinal direction and the lateral direction are examples of two directions orthogonal to the pressing direction.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the minimum dimension of the gap S1 and S2 in the molding surface region R2 in the pressing direction is smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap S1 and S2 in the peripheral region R3 outside the molding surface region R2 in the pressing direction. The molding surface region R2 is a region of the overlapping region R1 in which the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a contribute to the displacement of the material to be pressed in the press direction in press molding. The molding surface region R2 is a region included in the overlapping region R1 when viewed from the pressing direction. In the forming surface region R2, the material to be pressed is displaced in the pressing direction according to the shapes of the first processed surface 2a and the second processed surface 3a at the bottom dead center. By configuring the gaps S1 and S2d in the no-load state in this way, the deflection of the press device 1 is efficiently absorbed by the gaps S1 and S2, and the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a at the bottom dead center. Can be suppressed.

When a press-molded product is manufactured using the press device 1, first, the material to be pressed is arranged between the first die portion 2 and the second die portion 3. Next, the slide drive unit 7 brings the second support unit 5 closer to the first support unit 4. The second support portion 5 moves until the second mold portion 3 reaches the bottom dead center. At the bottom dead center, the first processed surface 2a of the first die portion 2 is in contact with one surface of the press target material W, and the second processed surface 3a of the second mold portion 3 is the other surface of the press target material W. In contact with.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the second die portion 3 of the press device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is at the bottom dead center. At the bottom dead center, a press load is applied to the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 from the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5. A reaction force acts on the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 from the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3. The first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 bend due to this reaction force. Due to these deflections, the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 are also deformed.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, at the bottom dead center, the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 are deformed so as to fill the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state. The gaps S1a and S2a at bottom dead center are narrower than the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state. The dimensions of the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state in the press direction change so as to be closer to more uniform in the press molding than in the no-load state. That is, the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state are deformed so as to absorb the deformation of the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 in the press molding. As a result, deformation of the first processed surface 2a of the first mold portion 2 and the second processed surface 3a of the second mold portion 3 due to the deflection of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 during press molding is reduced. can do.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the amount of deformation of the gaps S1 and S2 at the bottom dead center with respect to the gaps S1 and S2 of the overlapping region R1 in the no-load state is the first processed surface 2a and the first machined surface 2a in the no-load state. 2 It is larger than the amount of deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a in the pressing direction at the bottom dead center with respect to the machined surface 3a. As described above, in the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state, the shapes of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a at the bottom dead center are abbreviated as the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a in the no-load state. It is configured to be the same.

When the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 are bent due to the press load, the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 coupled to the first support portion 4 are also bent. As a result, the first processed surface 2a of the first mold portion 2 and the second processed surface 3a of the second mold portion 3 may be deformed due to the deflection. The spatial shape (clearance) between the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a at bottom dead center determines the shape of the press-molded product. Therefore, the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a becomes a factor that lowers the formability such as cracks and wrinkles of the press-molded product and the shape accuracy of the press-molded product.

In the above example, the deflections of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 of the press device 1 during press molding are caused by the gaps S1 and S2 of the first die portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 in the no-load state. Can be absorbed. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of deformation of the machined surface, which is the contact portion of the mold portion with the material. As a result, the shape accuracy of the press-molded product can be improved.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the gap S1 is provided inside the first mold portion 2, and the gap S2 is provided inside the second mold portion 3. The details will be described later, but as a modification, the position where the gap S1 is provided may be between the first mold portion 2 and the first support portion 4. The position where the gap S2 is provided may be between the second mold portion 3 and the second support portion 5. Further, the gaps S1 and S2 may be formed by providing irregularities on the surfaces of the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3. Alternatively, the gaps S1 and S2 may be formed by an insertion plate inserted into the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first mold portion 2 has a base portion 21 and a machined surface portion 22. The machined surface portion 22 includes a first machined surface 2a. A machined surface portion 22 is attached to the base portion 21. The base portion 21 is attached to the first support portion 4. The second mold portion 3 has a base portion 31 and a machined surface portion 32. The machined surface portion 32 includes a second machined surface 3a. A machined surface portion 32 is attached to the base portion 31. The base portion 31 is attached to the second support portion 5.

The machined surface portions 22 and 32 are, for example, insert dies. The base portions 21 and 31 are, for example, insert receiving portions. The insert receiving portion has, for example, a recess recessed in the pressing direction. In this case, the insert mold is fixed while being inserted into the recess of the insert receiving portion. The insert receiving portion is not limited to the configuration in which the insert mold is received in the recess.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the gap S1 is formed by the unevenness provided on the surface of the machined surface portion 22 of the first mold portion 2 facing the base portion 21. The gap S2 is formed by the unevenness provided on the surface of the machined surface portion 32 of the second mold portion 3 facing the base portion 31. The unevenness of the machined surface portions 22 and 32 has a shape that becomes convex toward the base portions 21 and 31. The surfaces of the base portions 21 and 31 facing the machined surface portions 22 and 32 are flat surfaces perpendicular to the pressing direction.

As a modification, the gaps S1 and S2 may be formed by the unevenness of the surfaces of the base portions 21 and 31 facing the machined surface portions 22 and 32. In this case, the unevenness of the base portions 21 and 31 may be a convex surface protruding in the pressing direction. Further, in this case, the surfaces of the machined surface portions 22 and 32 facing the base portions 21 and 31 are flat surfaces perpendicular to the pressing direction.

As described above, the gaps S1 and S2 in the no-load state can be a gap between a member having a convex surface protruding in the press direction and a member having a plane facing the convex surface. In this case, when a press load is applied, the protruding portion of the convex surface first comes into contact with the facing surface and receives the load. This makes it easier to absorb the deflection due to the press load in the gap.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a modified example of the configuration in which the gaps S1 and S2 are formed in the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the gap S1 is provided by the insertion plate 23 inserted between the machined surface portion 22 and the base portion 21 in the first mold portion 2 and having a non-uniform thickness. That is, the gap S1 is formed by the space between the insertion plate 23 and the machined surface portion 22 or the base portion 21. The gap S2 is provided by an insertion plate 33 inserted between the machined surface portion 32 and the base portion 31 in the second mold portion 3 and having a non-uniform thickness. That is, the gap S2 is formed by the space between the insertion plate 33 and the machined surface portion 32 or the base portion 31.

The thickness of the insertion plates 23 and 33 is the thickest in the central portion and becomes thinner as it approaches the peripheral edge from the central portion. The insertion plates 23 and 33 have a convex lens shape. One surface of the insertion plates 23 and 33 is a flat surface, and the other surface opposite to one surface is a convex curved surface. As described above, the insertion plates 23 and 33 may include a portion where the thickness at the position near the end of the overlapping region R1 is thinner than the thickness at the position inside the overlapping region R1 far from the end. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a due to the deflection of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5. The insertion plates 23 and 33 are arranged so as to be convex toward the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a. On the contrary, the insertion plates 23 and 33 may be arranged so as to be convex in the direction away from the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of the first die portion 2 shown in FIG. 3 as viewed from the pressing direction (upper side). In FIG. 4, the insertion plate 23 is shown by a broken line. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the insertion plate 23 has substantially the same shape as the first machined surface 2a when viewed from the pressing direction. That is, the insertion plate 23 is provided so as to overlap the entire region overlapping the first machined surface 2a when viewed from the pressing direction. The insertion plate 23 may be provided so as to overlap at least a part of the region overlapping the first machined surface 2a. Further, the insertion plate 23 may be provided so as to include the entire region overlapping the first machined surface 2a. For example, the insertion plate 23 may be provided in a range including the first machined surface 2a and wider than the first machined surface 2a when viewed from the pressing direction. Similarly, the insertion plate 33 may be provided so as to overlap the entire second machined surface 3a or at least a part thereof when viewed from the pressing direction.

The entire first machined surface 2a overlaps with the second machined surface 3a when viewed from the pressing direction. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4, the outer edge of the first machined surface 2a is the outer edge of the overlapping region R1. The insertion plate 23 overlaps the entire overlapping region R1. When viewed from the pressing direction, the inner region R1u is inside the center line between the center of gravity G and the outer edge of the overlapping region R1, and the outer region R1s is outside the center line. In FIG. 4, the central line between the center of gravity G and the outer edge is indicated by the alternate long and short dash line AR. The center line between the center of gravity G and the outer edge of the overlapping region R1 is a set of midpoints of a line segment connecting the center of gravity G and an arbitrary point on the outer edge.

In FIG. 4, the line 2aR indicates the outer edge of the molding surface region R2. In the forming surface region R2, both the first processed surface 2a and the second processed surface 3a have a shape that is convex or concave in the pressing direction.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the distribution of dimensions of the gap S1 in the press direction in the first mold portion 2 shown in FIG. 4 in a no-load state. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the distribution of dimensions of the gap S1 at the bottom dead center in the press direction. In FIG. 5, contour lines indicating positions where the dimensions of the gap S1 in the press direction in the no-load state are equal are shown by dotted lines. Contour lines are shown every 0.025 mm. In FIGS. 5 and 6, different hatching is shown for each range of dimensions of the gap S1. Small dimensional ranges are indicated by dark hatching. The region with the darkest hatching indicates a region where the dimension of the gap S1 in the press direction is 0 to 0.025 mm.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the gap S1 formed by the insertion plate 23 in the no-load state is formed so that the inner region R1u is smaller than the outer region R1s as a whole. The closer to the outside from the center of gravity G, the larger the gap S1. As a result, the minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the press direction in the inner region R1u is smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the press direction in the outer region R1s in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the overlapping region R1. In this way, by providing a gradient of the gap S1 in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction (that is, two directions orthogonal to each other when viewed from the pressing direction), the deflection of the pressing device can be efficiently absorbed. The longitudinal direction of the overlapping region R1 is the direction in which the dimension is the longest when viewed from the pressing direction. The lateral direction is a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction when viewed from the press direction. In FIGS. 4 to 6, the x direction is the longitudinal direction and the y direction is the lateral direction.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, in the no-load state, the peripheral region R3 has a larger dimension of the gap S1 in the pressing direction than the molding surface region R2. The minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the forming surface region R2 in the pressing direction is smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the peripheral region R3 outside the forming surface region R2 in the pressing direction. This configuration is found in both the longitudinal and lateral directions of the overlap area. As a result, the gap S1 can efficiently absorb the deflection caused by the difference between the displacement of the molding surface region of the press device and the displacement of the peripheral region thereof.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, at the bottom dead center, the gap S1 is 0 to 0.025 mm in the entire overlapping region R1. That is, at the bottom dead center, the gap S1 is smaller and more uniform than the no-load state in both the outer region R1s and the inner region R1u.

The shapes of the gaps S1 and S2 are determined by the shapes of the insertion plates 23 and 33. By exchanging the insertion plates 23 and 33 with those having different shapes, the shapes of the gaps S1 and S2 can be changed. By providing the gaps S1 and S2 with the insertion plates 23 and 33, it becomes easy to change the shapes of the gaps S1 and S2. This makes it possible to make the gaps S1 and S2 into a shape more suitable for reducing deformation due to deflection, for example, by using a trial and error method.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another modified example of the configuration in which the gaps S1 and S2 are formed in the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the gap S1 is provided between the first mold portion 2 and the first support portion 4. The gap S2 is provided between the second mold portion 3 and the second support portion 5. The gap S1 is provided by the unevenness of the surface of the first mold portion 2 facing the first support portion 4. The gap S1 is a space between the uneven surface of the first mold portion 2 and the first support portion 4. The surface of the first support portion 4 facing the first mold portion 2 is a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction. The gap S2 is provided by the unevenness of the surface of the second mold portion 3 facing the second support portion 5. The gap S2 is a space between the uneven surface of the second mold portion 3 and the second support portion 5. The surface of the second support portion 5 facing the second mold portion 3 is a plane perpendicular to the pressing direction.

The unevenness of the surface of the first mold portion 2 facing the first support portion 4 is inside the outer edge of the overlapping region R1 overlapping the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a when viewed from the pressing direction in a no-load state. Includes a portion where the degree of protrusion in the press direction is larger. The unevenness of the surface of the second mold portion 3 facing the second support portion 5 includes a portion in which the degree of protrusion in the pressing direction is larger on the inner side than the outer edge of the overlapping region R1 in the no-load state. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a due to the deflection of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the distribution of dimensions of the gap S1 in the press direction in the first mold portion 2 shown in FIG. 7 in a no-load state. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the distribution of dimensions of the gap S1 at the bottom dead center in the press direction. In FIG. 8, contour lines (points) of the gap S1 are drawn every 0.05 mm. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the darkest hatching indicates a range in which the dimension of the gap S1 in the press direction is 0 to 0.05 mm.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the outer region R1s has a larger dimension in the press direction of the gap S1 than the inner region R1u in the overlapping region R1. Further, in the overlapping region R1 and the region outside the overlapping region R1, the dimension of the gap S1 is larger on the outer side than on the inner side. That is, the gap S1 tends to increase toward the outside from the center of gravity G. The minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the overlapping region R1 is smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the region outside the overlapping region R1. As a result, the deflection of the press device can be absorbed by the gap S1 in the first machined surface 2a, the second machined surface 3a, and the region outside the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the gap S1 is larger in the peripheral region R3 than in the molding surface region R2. The minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the molding surface region R2 in the pressing direction is smaller than the minimum dimension of the gap S1 in the peripheral region R3 in the pressing direction. The outer edge of the peripheral region R3 is the outer edge of the base portion 21. Also in the peripheral region R3, the gap S1 tends to become smaller as it goes inward from the outer edge. This tendency is seen in both the longitudinal and lateral directions.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, at the bottom dead center, the gap S1 is 0 to 0.05 mm in the entire overlapping region R1. That is, at the bottom dead center, the gap S1 is smaller and uniformly approaches than the no-load state in both the overlapping region R1 and the region outside the overlapping region R1.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a further modification of the example shown in FIG. 7. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the gap S1 is provided by an insertion plate 23 inserted between the first mold portion 2 and the first support portion 4. That is, the gap S1 is formed by the space between the insertion plate 23 and the first support portion 4. The gap S2 is provided by an insertion plate 33 inserted between the second mold portion 3 and the second support portion 5. That is, the gap S2 is formed by the space between the insertion plate 33 and the second support portion 5.

The thickness of the insertion plates 23 and 33 is the thickest in the central portion and becomes thinner as it approaches the peripheral edge from the central portion. The insertion plates 23 and 33 have a convex lens shape. One surface of the insertion plates 23 and 33 in contact with the mold portion is a flat surface, and the other surface opposite to one surface is a convex curved surface. As described above, the insertion plates 23 and 33 may include a portion where the thickness at the position near the end of the overlapping region R1 is thinner than the thickness at the position inside the overlapping region R1 far from the end. This makes it possible to further reduce the deformation of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a due to the deflection of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5.

(Analysis result)
Using the data that modeled the press device, a press molding simulation was executed and the shape accuracy of the press molded product was analyzed. As an analysis model, a model of a press device having the insertion plates 23, 33 and the gaps S1 and S2 having the configuration shown in FIG. 3 (model 1), and in FIG. 3, the gaps S1 and S2 are provided without the insertion plates 23 and 33. A simulation was performed using a model (model 2) of a press device having no configuration. In both the model 1 and the model 2, the frame 6, the support portions 4, 5 and the mold portions 2, 3 are all elastic bodies that are elastically deformed. Furthermore, a simulation was also performed on a model (model 3) having the same shape as the model 2 and having the entire mold portions 2, 3 as rigid bodies. As a result of the simulation, the shape of the press-molded product was obtained. The shapes of the press-molded products of Models 1 and 2 were compared with the shapes of the press-molded products of Model 3. Specifically, the accuracy difference was calculated by quantifying the difference in shape between each of the press-molded products of models 1 and 2 and the press-molded product of model 3.

As a result of the analysis, the accuracy difference of the press-molded product of the model 1 provided with the insertion plate was about half of the accuracy difference of the press-molded product of the model 2 without the insertion plate. As a result, it was found that the shape accuracy of the press-molded product can be improved by providing an insertion plate and forming a gap in a no-load state. Further, in the case of the model 1, it was confirmed that the deflection of the first machined surface 2a and the second machined surface 3a of the die at the press working bottom dead center was smaller than that in the case of the model 2. As a result, it was found that the deflection of the machined surface can be reduced and the deterioration of the shape accuracy of the press-molded product due to the deflection can be improved by providing the insertion plate and forming the gap in the no-load state.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The press device 1 in the present embodiment can be used, for example, as a press device for press-molding a metal press target material. As an example, the press device 1 may be used as a press device for a steel material (ultra-high-strength steel plate) of ultra-high-tensile steel (tensile strength of 780 MPa or more) as a press target material. Poor shape accuracy due to deformation of the machined surface of the die due to bending of the support portion of the press device tends to be particularly remarkable in press forming using high-tensile steel as the press target material. Therefore, the press device 1 and the manufacturing method in the present embodiment can be suitably applied to the press forming of high-tensile steel materials.

The press device in the present embodiment is not limited to this, and can be applied to, for example, a press device having a press load of 10 to 2000 tonf. In particular, the press device of the present embodiment can be used for a press device having a press load of 100 tonf or more. In this case, it is possible to suppress the influence of bending on the dimensional accuracy of the press-formed product of the ultra-high-tensile steel material.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above example, the insertion plates 23 and 33 are plates having non-uniform thickness, but the insertion plates 23 and 33 may have uniform thickness. In this case, for example, in the overlapping region R1, both a place where the insertion plates 23 and 33 are arranged and a place where the insertion plates 23 and 33 are not arranged may be provided. Also in this case, gaps S1 and S2 whose dimensions in the pressing direction are not uniform can be formed in the overlapping region R1.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the first support portion 4 is fixed to the frame 6 and the second support portion 5 moves in the press direction with respect to the frame 6, but with respect to the first support portion 4. The configuration in which the second support portion 5 reciprocates in the press direction is not limited to this. For example, the second support portion 5 may be fixed to the frame 6 and the first support portion 4 may reciprocate with respect to the frame. Alternatively, both the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 5 may be configured to reciprocate in the press direction with respect to the frame 6.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first machined surface 2a includes a convex portion protruding in the pressing direction, and the second machined surface 3a includes a concave portion recessed in the pressing direction. That is, the first mold portion 2 is a punch, and the second mold portion 3 is a die. On the other hand, the first mold portion 2 may be a die and the second mold portion 3 may be a punch. Further, in addition to the first mold portion and the second mold portion, a mold portion may be provided. For example, in a press device for drawing, a mold portion such as a blank holder may be provided as an auxiliary mold portion in addition to the first mold portion and the second mold portion.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, both the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 are composed of a plurality of members of a machined surface portion and a base portion. On the other hand, at least one of the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3 may be integrally composed of one member. In this case, a gap is provided between the mold portion integrally composed of one member and the support portion.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, one first mold portion is attached to the first support portion 4, and one second mold portion is attached to the second support portion. On the other hand, a plurality of first mold portions may be attached to the first support portion 4, and a plurality of second mold portions may be attached to the second support portion. In this case, for example, a transfer die press in which a press target material press-molded in one die section is moved to another die section and press-molded again among a plurality of die portions of one support portion. Molding can be performed.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, gaps S1 and S2 are provided in both the first mold portion 2 and the second mold portion 3. On the other hand, a configuration may be configured in which a gap is provided in one of the first mold portion 2 or the second mold portion 3 and no gap is provided in the other. Even in this case, the effect of reducing the deformation of the mold portion due to the deflection of the support portion can be obtained.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above-described embodiment is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the above-mentioned embodiment can be appropriately modified and carried out within a range not deviating from the gist thereof.
