Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a press-forming method and a press-forming die for press-molding a member such as an automobile part from a blank metal plate, and in particular, a top plate portion having a bifurcated shape in plan view, such as a lower arm, and the top plate portion. The present invention relates to a press-molding method and a press-molding mold for a press-molded product having a vertical wall portion continuous to a top plate portion.

Among press-formed products, for example, there is a product that includes a top plate portion that has a bifurcated shape in a plan view and a vertical wall portion that is continuous with the top plate portion, such as a lower arm that is an underbody part of an automobile. . An example of such a press-formed product will be described with reference to FIG.
A press-formed product 5 shown in FIG. 7 has a top plate portion 1 having a bifurcated shape in plan view, and a vertical wall portion 3 continuous with the top plate portion 1 . Hereinafter, such a bifurcated portion of the press-formed product 5 is referred to as a bifurcated portion 23 .

When the vertical wall portion 3 is formed on the top plate portion 1 having a bifurcated shape as shown in FIG. Due to flange deformation, stretch flange cracks are likely to occur at the tip of the vertical wall portion 3 (portion o surrounded by a dashed circle in the figure).

In order to avoid stretch flange cracking as described above, such a press-formed product 5 is generally manufactured in a plurality of steps as described below.
First, a top plate portion 1 and a vertical wall portion 3 continuous from the top plate portion 1 via a first bent portion 2 are formed by form molding or the like by pressing a blank (metal plate) with a pad, as shown in FIG. An intermediate molded product 7 having an intermediate vertical wall portion 9 on the base end side and a shelf portion 13 continuous from the intermediate vertical wall portion 9 via a second bent portion 11 is overmolded (first molding step).

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the panel is trimmed along a predetermined trim line, unnecessary portions (hatched portions in the figure) are removed from the shelf portion 13 of the intermediate molded product 7, and the flange portion 25 is removed. Leave (trim process). Then, by bending back the second bent portion 11 and erecting the flange portion 25 (restrike), the vertical wall portion 3 composed of the portion corresponding to the intermediate vertical wall portion 9 and the flange portion 25 is formed (second forming step ) to produce the press-formed product 5 shown in FIG. The portion shown in gray in FIG. 7 is the portion corresponding to the second bent portion 11 bent back in the second forming step.

In the above-described method, by interposing the intermediate molded product 7 molded in the first molding step (stretch molding), the amount of stretch flanging deformation during the subsequent second molding step (restrike) is reduced. Furthermore, since the intermediate molded product 7 is provided with a surplus portion (portion to be removed in the trimming process), the portion corresponding to the portion o shown in FIG. Since the material flow is suppressed in the second forming step, stretch flange cracking occurring at the o portion can be suppressed.
As such a press forming method, Patent Document 1 discloses an example in which stretch forming and trimming are performed in the same step.

JP 2017-217698 A

The inventors conducted molding analysis and press molding experiments using the finite element method on press-formed products such as lower arms having various shapes. Not only the tip of part 3 (o part), but also the part bent back in the second forming process in the vicinity of the central part of the branched part (a part surrounded by a broken line circle in FIG. It has been clarified that cracks also occur in both sides of the central part of the part (hereinafter simply referred to as "both sides of the branch part") during molding. The reason why the cracks are generated in the parts a and b will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 9 and 10. FIG.

The A'-A' cross-sectional view and the AA cross-sectional view show the cross sections of the portion corresponding to the part a in the intermediate molded product 7 and the press-molded product 5. As shown in FIG.
The intermediate vertical wall portion 9, the second bent portion 11, and the flange portion 25 (see FIG. 10(a)) formed by the first forming step and the trimming step are bent back at the second bent portion 11 by the second forming step. As a result, the vertical wall portion 3 is formed as shown in FIG. 10(b). At this time, since work hardening occurs in the portion corresponding to the bent back second bent portion 11, the thickness of the portion indicated by the arrow in the figure is reduced.
Furthermore, since the o-portion, which tends to cause material shortage due to stretch flanging deformation, is in the vicinity (see FIG. 7), a material flow from the a-portion to the o-portion occurs. Cracks occur in the part a due to both the reduction in plate thickness and the material flow. For the same reason, cracks also occur in the b portion.

In order to suppress the cracks that occur in the a part and the b part as described above, the bending radius of the second bent part 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 is increased to reduce the work hardening. should be reduced. However, if the amount of deformation in the first forming step is reduced for both parts a and b as well as part o, the amount of stretch flanging deformation in the subsequent second forming process increases, and cracks are likely to occur in part o. .
In this way, in the conventional technology, cracking of the tip (o part) of the vertical wall part 3 formed in the central part of the branch part and the bent back parts (a part, b part) on both sides of the branch part are prevented at the same time. The problem was that it was difficult to

In the press-molding method according to the present embodiment, a press-formed product 5 (see FIG. 7) having a top plate portion 1 having a bifurcated shape in plan view and a vertical wall portion 3 continuing to the top plate portion 1 is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, a metal plate is molded into an intermediate molded product 7 in a first molding step S1, and an unnecessary part is removed from the intermediate molded product 7 molded in the first molding step S1. It comprises a trimming step S3 and a second forming step S5 for forming the intermediate molded product 7 from which unnecessary portions are removed in the trimming step S3 into a target shape.
Each step will be described below. In FIG. 1, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in FIGS.

<First molding step>
The first molding step S1 is a step of molding an intermediate molded product 7 as shown in FIG. It has an intermediate vertical wall portion 9 that is continuous through the vertical wall portion 3 and is on the base end side of the vertical wall portion 3 , and a shelf portion 13 that is continuous from the intermediate vertical wall portion 9 through the second bent portion 11 .

In the first forming step S1 for forming such an intermediate molded product 7, as shown in FIG. This is performed by a first die 21 comprising a pad 17 for pressing the metal plate against the punch 15 and a die 19 having a die shoulder 19a for forming the second bent portion 11 .

FIG. 2(a) is an OO cross section (see the enlarged view of FIG. 1(a)) which is a cross section of the central part of the branch part of the intermediate molded product 7, and FIG. 1A) is a view showing the state of the molding bottom dead center of the PP cross section (see the enlarged view of FIG. 1(a)), which is the cross section of the part a side). The cross section of the other side of the branching portion (side of the b portion) is the same as that of the side of the branching portion (the side of the a portion), so illustration thereof is omitted.
As can be seen by comparing FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), regarding the die shoulder portion 19a forming the second bent portion 11, the curvature radius R of the portion forming the central portion of the branch portion of the second bent portion 11 is _DC (hereinafter simply referred to as “die shoulder R _DC ”) is set smaller than the curvature radius R _DS (hereinafter simply referred to as “die shoulder R _DS ”) of the portion forming both side portions of the branch portion of the second bent portion 11 . (R _DC < R _DS ).
In addition, between the center portion of the branched portion and both side portions of the branched portion of the die shoulder portion 19a, there is formed a shape (gradual change portion) in which the radius of curvature gradually changes in the bending ridgeline direction.
Further, regarding the punch shoulder portion 15a forming the first bent portion 2, the curvature radius _RP of the punch shoulder portion 15a is set to be larger than the die shoulder R _DC and the die shoulder R _DS (R _DC <R _DS <R _P ).

In the first forming step S1 using the first mold 21 as described above, the die 19 is moved from the initial position (not shown) while the metal plate is held by the punch 15 and the pad 17, as shown in FIG. ), by lowering to the position of the bottom dead center shown in FIG. The intermediate molded product 7 (see FIG. 1(a)) having the intermediate vertical wall portion 9 and the shelf portion 13 continuous from the intermediate vertical wall portion 9 via the second bent portion 11 is molded.

The shapes of the first bent portion 2 and the second bent portion 11 in the intermediate molded product 7 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(a) and 3(b) are the OO cross section and the PP cross section of the intermediate molded product 7 shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 1(a).
As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the intermediate molded product 7 has a bending radius R ₁ of the entire branching portion of the first bending portion 2 and a bending radius R 1 of the central portion of the branching portion of the second bending portion 11. R _2C and the bending radius R _2S of both side portions of the branch portion of the second bent portion 11 have a relationship of R _2C <R _2S <R ₁ .
In addition, between the second bent portion 11 with the bending radius R _2C at the central portion of the branch and the second bent portion 11 with the bending radius R _2S at both sides of the branch, the bending radius is increased from the center toward both sides in the bending ridge direction. It is a gradual change portion that gradually expands ( FIG. 1( a ) enlarged view).
The reason why the intermediate molded product 7 is shaped as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the OO cross section (solid line) and the PP cross section (broken line) of the second bent portion 11 superimposed so that the difference in bending radius can be easily understood.
As shown in FIG. 4, by decreasing the bending radius (R _2C ) of the second bent portion 11 at the center of the branch and increasing the bending radius (R _2S ) of both sides of the branch, The line length (distance of solid line from point X to point Y) is long, and the line length (distance of broken line from point X to point Y) on the PP cross section is short. Therefore, in the first forming step S1, the amount of deformation at the central portion of the branch portion is larger than that at both side portions of the branch portion.
Note that the X point and the Y point are points common to both cross sections when the two cross sections are overlapped.

In this way, the bending radius of the central portion of the branch portion in the second bent portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 is made smaller than the bending radius of both side portions of the branch portion (R _2C <R _2S ), and the first bending portion in the first forming step S1 The reason why the amount of deformation at the central portion of the bifurcation portion of the 2-bent portion 11 is greater than that at both side portions of the bifurcation portion is as follows.

In the press molding method of the present embodiment, the vertical wall portion 3 is formed at the central portion of the branch portion 23 by the first forming step S1 and the second forming step S5. If the amount of deformation in S1 is large, the amount of stretch flanging deformation in the second forming step S5 will be small.
Therefore, by forming the intermediate molded product 7 with a large deformation amount (larger area) at the central part of the branch part, the amount of stretch flanging deformation in the second forming step S5 is reduced, and o shown in FIG. Cracking of the part is suppressed.

On the other hand, on both sides of the branch portion, the bending radius _R2S is increased to suppress the amount of deformation of the intermediate molded product 7 during molding. Furthermore, as described above, the stretch flanging deformation that occurs in the o portion in the second forming step S5 is also reduced, so the material flow from both sides of the branch portion toward the o portion is also alleviated, and bending in the second forming step S5 Even if it returns, the crack of the a part and b part which were shown in FIG. 7 is suppressed.

In addition, in the intermediate molded product 7, the bending radius _R1 at the first bent portion 2 is larger than the bending radii _R2C and _R2S at the second bent portion 11, as shown in FIG. The larger the bending radius, the easier the material flows, and the smaller the bending radius, the easier it is for the material to stay. Therefore, the material is pulled from the first bent portion side to the second bent portion 11 side, and the material flows from the first bent portion 2 toward the second bent portion 11 (see white arrow). As a result, the flow of material into the second bent portion 11 is promoted in both the central portion of the branch portion and both side portions of the branch portion, and cracks in the o portion and the a and b portions during the second forming step S5 are further reduced. Suppressed.

<Trim process>
The trim step S3 is a step of removing an unnecessary portion from the shelf portion 13 of the intermediate molded product 7 formed in the first forming step S1 to form the flange portion 25. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in the middle of trimming in the BB cross section of FIG. 1(b).
The trimming step S3 is performed by a trimming die 33 having an upper blade 27, a lower blade 29, and a plate holder 31, as shown in FIG. The upper blade 27 and the lower blade 29 work together to remove unnecessary portions from the shelf 13 of the intermediate molded product 7, and each trim blade (trim blade) has a shape corresponding to the cutting line (trim line). not shown).

In the trim step S3, a part of the top plate portion 1 and the shelf portion 13 of the intermediate molded product 7 formed in the first forming step S1 is held between the lower blade 29 and the plate retainer 31, and for example, the upper blade 27 is initially held. A flange portion 25 is formed by relatively moving downward from a position (not shown) and cutting off an unnecessary portion (a hatched portion in FIG. 1B) from the shelf portion 13 .

<Second molding step>
The second forming step S5 is a step of bending back the second bent portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 from which the unnecessary portion has been removed in the trimming step S3 to form the vertical wall portion 3 and forming the vertical wall portion 3 into a target shape.

FIG. 6 is a view showing the state of the restrike bottom dead center in the CC section of FIG. 1(c).
The second molding step S5 is performed by a second mold 41 having a punch 35, a pad 37 and a die 39, as shown in FIG.
The punch 35 has a molding surface corresponding to the inner surface of the press-molded product 5 and grips the top plate portion 1 of the intermediate molded product 7 together with the pad 37 . Further, the die 39 has a molding surface corresponding to the outer surface of the vertical wall portion 3 of the press-molded product 5, and the second bent portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 from which unnecessary portions have been removed in the trimming step S3. Bend back.

In the second molding step S5 using the second mold 41 as described above, the die 39 is moved to the initial position (not shown) while the top plate portion 1 of the intermediate molded product 7 is gripped by the punch 35 and the pad 37. ) to the bottom dead center position shown in FIG. Mold item 5.

As described above, since the deformation amount of the central portion of the branch portion is increased in the first forming step S1, the deformation amount of the central portion of the branch portion is reduced in the second forming step S5, and stretch flange deformation is reduced. .
In addition, since the amount of deformation on both sides of the branch portion is reduced in the first forming step S1, the work hardening of the second bent portion 11 is reduced, and the second bent portion 11 is bent in the second forming step S5. Cracks are less likely to occur when returning.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the first forming step S1, the bending radius R ₁ of the entire branch portion of the first bent portion 2, the bending radius R _2C of the central portion of the branch portion of the second bent portion 11, and After forming so that the bending radius _R2S of both sides of the branch portion of the second bent portion 11 satisfies the relationship of _R2C < _R2S < _R1 , and after removing the unnecessary portion in the trimming step S3 to form the flange portion 25 , In the second forming step S5, the second bent portion 11 is bent back, and a portion that becomes a stretch-flange deformation is formed.

As a result, the amount of deformation in the second forming step S5 is reduced in the central portion of the branch portion, and stretch-flange deformation is suppressed, so cracks occurring at the tip of the vertical wall portion 3 can be prevented.
In addition, on both sides of the bifurcation, the thickness reduction of the bent back portion is suppressed, and the stretch flanging deformation of the central part of the bifurcated portion is suppressed, so that the material flow is alleviated, so cracks occurring in the bent back portion can be prevented.
In addition, since the flow of material from the first bent portion 2 to the second bent portion 11 is promoted both in the central portion of the branch portion and on both side portions of the branch portion, the crack prevention effect is further improved.

In the above description, an example in which press molding is performed by dividing it into three steps has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. may be performed in two steps. For example, if the punch 15 and the die 19 in the first forming step S1 are respectively provided with trim blades, the intermediate molded product 7 can be molded and at the same time the unnecessary parts can be removed.

Further, the vertical wall portions other than the branched portion 23 may be formed while the above-described three steps are being performed, or may be formed in a separate step without causing any problem in carrying out the present invention. Also, the molding of the top plate portion 1 is the same.

In order to confirm the effect of the present invention, CAE analysis was performed on press forming with a lower arm component having a target shape as shown in FIG.
A hot-rolled steel plate having a thickness of 2.3 mm and a tensile strength of 780 MPa was used as the metal plate.
The press molding process was the three processes of the first molding process S1, the trimming process S3, and the second molding process S5 described in the first embodiment.

As a conventional example, two kinds of analysis were performed on the second bent portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 in which the bending radii of the central portion of the bifurcation portion and both sides of the bifurcation portion were the same. The bending radius of the second bent portion 11 in the conventional example was set to 5 mm (conventional example 1) or 7 mm (conventional example 2) for both the central portion of the branch portion and both side portions of the branch portion. Further, the bending radius of the first bent portion 2 was set to 7 mm for both Conventional Example 1 and Conventional Example 2. FIG. Here, the bending radius is the radius of the circular arc at the plate thickness central portion (the same shall apply hereinafter).

In addition, as a comparative example, the bending radius of the central portion of the second bent portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 is smaller than the bending radius of both side portions of the branched portion, and the bending radius of the first bent portion 2 is less than that of the second bent portion 11. The bending radii of both sides of the bifurcation in The bending radius of the second bent portion 11 in the comparative example was 5 mm at the central portion of the branch, 7 mm at both sides of the branch (parts a and b in FIG. 8), and the bending radius of the first bent portion 2 was 6 mm.

Further, as an example of the present invention, the bending radius of the central portion of the branching portion in the second bending portion 11 of the intermediate molded product 7 is smaller than the bending radius of both side portions of the branching portion, and the bending radius of the first bending portion 2 is the second bending portion. 11 were analyzed. The bending radius of the second bent portion 11 in the invention example was 5 mm at the center of the branch portion, 7 mm at both side portions of the branch portion, and the bending radius of the first bent portion 2 was 10 mm.
Table 1 shows the maximum plate thickness reduction rates of the parts a, b, and o (see FIG. 7) at the bottom dead center of the second forming step S5 obtained by CAE forming analysis.

According to the past knowledge of the inventors who made prototypes of various shapes of lower arms, in the case of a hot-rolled steel sheet with a thickness of 2.3 mm and a tensile strength of 780 MPa, if the thickness reduction rate exceeds 20% in CAE forming analysis, cracking will occur. Occur. Therefore, the forming limit at which cracks occur in this example was set at a plate thickness reduction rate of 20%.

In Conventional Example 1 in Table 1 above, the bending radius of the central portion (o) of the second bent portion 11 and both sides of the branch (a and b) are the same, and the plate thickness of the central portion of the branch is This is an example in which the reduction rate is within the forming limit range, but the sheet thickness reduction rate on both sides of the branch exceeds the forming limit range.
As shown in Table 1, in the case of Conventional Example 1, the plate thickness reduction rate of part o is less than 20% of the forming limit, but the plate thickness reduction rate of parts a and b exceeds 20% of the forming limit. there is Therefore, it was determined that, in the press forming method of Conventional Example 1, cracks did not occur in the o portion, but cracks occurred in the a portion and the b portion.

Further, in Conventional Example 2 in Table 1, the bending radius of the central portion of the branching portion of the second bent portion 11 and both side portions of the branching portion are the same, and the plate thickness reduction rate of the central portion of the branching portion exceeds the forming limit range. This is an example in which the plate thickness reduction rate of both sides is within the forming limit range.
In the case of Conventional Example 2, the plate thickness reduction rate of parts a and b is less than 20% of the forming limit, but the plate thickness reduction rate of part o exceeds 20% of the forming limit. Therefore, in the press molding method of Conventional Example 2, it was judged that cracks did not occur in the parts a and b, but cracks occurred in the part o.

Next, in the case of the comparative example, the plate thickness reduction rate was less than 20% of the forming limit in all of the parts a, b, and o, and it was determined that cracks did not occur in any of the parts, but in the b part The value was close to 20% of the forming limit.

On the other hand, in the case of the invention example, the plate thickness reduction rate was less than 20% of the forming limit in all of the parts a, b, and o, and it was determined that cracks did not occur in any of the parts. Furthermore, the sheet thickness reduction rate was improved at each site compared to the comparative example, and better results were obtained.
As described above, from the results of the present example, it was found that cracking of the tip of the vertical wall portion at the center of the branching portion and both sides of the branching portion of the press-formed product having a bifurcated shape in plan view, such as the lower arm, can be prevented at the same time. Ta.

Also, from the above, it can be seen that the bending radii of the central portion of the branching portion of the second bent portion 11 and both side portions of the branching portion may be set as follows.
That is, by setting the bending radius of the central portion of the branch portion of the second bending portion 11 and the bending radius of both side portions of the branch portion to be the same, and by variously changing the value and obtaining the plate thickness reduction rate at the restrike bottom dead center, The bending radii of the part and both sides of the branch are the same, the thickness reduction rate of the central part of the branch is within the forming limit range, and the thickness reduction rate of both sides of the branch exceeds the forming limit (value A). , and an example (value B) in which the plate thickness reduction rate at the center of the branch exceeds the forming limit range and the plate thickness reduction rate at both sides of the branch is within the forming limit. The radius is set to A value or less, which is within the forming limit range, the bending radius of both sides of the branch is set to B value or more, which is within the forming limit range, and the bending radius of the central portion of the branch is smaller than the bending radius of both sides of the branch. This should be set.
