Description
- The present invention relates to a punch for punching sheet metal and an apparatus for punching sheet metal having the punch.
- A punching apparatus has been proposed in which a punch, which includes a cylindrical body having a smaller outside diameter than the hole diameter of a die and a conical projection provided on one end face of this cylindrical body, is pressed against sheet metal to form a pierced hole in the sheet metal. As the punch is further inserted into the hole in the die in a state in which the movement of the sheet metal is restricted by the projection inserted in the pierced hole, the sheet metal is fractured around the end face of the cylindrical body of the punch, thereby allowing a through hole of substantially the same diameter as that of the hole in the die to be formed in the sheet metal.
- Patent Document 1: JP-A-2002-153920
- According to such a punching apparatus, the sheet metal is positioned by the projection, and a through hole is formed by applying mainly a tensile force rather than a shearing force to the sheet metal, so that the through hole can be formed accurately in the sheet metal without producing burrs. However, in connection with such as the thickness of the sheet metal and the diameter and the like of the through hole to be formed in the sheet metal, there are cases where the pierced hole cannot be formed desirably in the sheet metal by the projection. Moreover, as a result of the fact that cutting based on the shearing force mainly takes place with respect to the sheet metal, rather than fracture based on the tensile force, there are possibilities that the through hole cannot be accurately formed in the sheet metal, and that burrs may occur in the sheet metal after the formation of the through hole.
- As a result of repeatedly conducting strenuous studies in view of the above-described aspects, the present inventors came to complete the present invention after finding out that a through hole can be formed accurately in the sheet metal by a projection of a particular shape and the like, and burrs are not produced in the sheet metal after the formation of the through hole. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a punch and a punching apparatus having the punch, in which even if the thickness of the sheet metal where a through hole is to be formed is different, and even if the size, e.g., the diameter, and shape of the through hole to be formed in the sheet metal are different, punching can be optimally performed with respect to the sheet metal having a different thickness and the through hole of a different size and shape, and which make it possible to form a through hole with no burrs and at an accurate position.
- A punch for punching sheet metal in accordance with a first aspect of the invention comprises: a punch body; and a projection formed in the shape of one of a cone and a pyramid and provided integrally on one end face of the punch body, the projection having a base with an outer edge inscribing an imaginary circle which is concentric with a center of an imaginary circle inscribed by an outer edge of the end face, and which has a smaller diameter than a diameter of that imaginary circle, wherein an angle θ formed by the end face and a tangential line, which intersects an axis passing through the center of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face, and which touches both a distal end face of the projection and the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face, is not less than 25° and not more than 60°, and a ratio e/L between, on the one hand, a difference e between a radius D1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face and a radius d1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the base and, on the other hand, a length L of a circumference of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face, is a value which is not less than 0.05 and not more than 0.14.
- In the punch for punching sheet metal in accordance with the invention, a pierced hole is first formed in the sheet metal by the projection, the movement of the sheet metal is restricted by the projection inserted in this pierced hole, and the sheet metal is subsequently fractured around the end face of the punch body, thereby forming a through hole in the sheet metal. However, the present invention is based on the following view: With such a punch, if the projection is too low, the projection comes off the pierced hole, which makes it impossible to restrict the movement of the sheet metal. If the projection is too high, the bending, breakage, or the like of the projection can occur, which requires frequent replacement. In addition, if the diameter of the imaginary circle inscribed by the base of the projection becomes close to the diameter of the imaginary circle inscribed by the end face of the punch body, the sheet metal cannot be fractured satisfactorily due to the effect of the pierced hole. If the diameter of the imaginary circle inscribed by the base of the projection is extremely smaller than the diameter of the imaginary circle inscribed by the end face of the punch body, the bending, breakage, or the like of the projection can occur, which requires frequent replacement.
- As a result of repeatedly conducting strenuous studies on the basis of the above-described view, the present inventors found out that even if the thickness of the sheet metal where a through hole is to be formed is different, and even if the size, e.g., the diameter, and shape of the through hole to be formed in the sheet metal are different, if the angle θ is not less than 25°, it is possible to effectively prevent the coming off of the projection from the pierced hole. In addition, if the ratio e/L is not less than 0.05, the sheet metal can be satisfactorily fractured by eliminating the effect of the pierced hole. Moreover, if the angle θ is not more than 60° and the ratio e/L is not more than 0.05, it is possible to satisfactorily avoid the bending, breakage, or the like of the projection. Thus, according to the punch for punching sheet metal in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, it is possible to optimally perform punching with respect to the sheet metal having a different thickness and the through hole having a different size and a different shape, thereby making it possible to form the through hole with no burrs and at an accurate position.
- In the present invention, the distal end of the projection may be pointed or slightly rounded.
- Preferably, as in the punch in accordance with a second aspect of the invention, the angle θ is less than 30° and not more than 55°, and the ratio e/L is not less than 0.09 and not more than 0.12.
- The outer edge of the end face may not be chamfered. However, to reduce the effect of shear constituting the cause of burrs and more satisfactorily tension-fracture the sheet metal, the outer edge of the end face is preferably chamfered with a radius of curvature R of between 0.3 mm and 3 mm, as in the punch in accordance with a third aspect of the invention.
- A diameter D1 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face is preferably not more than 100 mm as in the punch in accordance with a fourth aspect of the invention, more preferably not more than 35 mm as in the punch in accordance with a fifth aspect of the invention, and still more preferably not more than 30 mm as in the punch in accordance with a sixth aspect of the invention.
- Preferably, as in the punch in accordance with a seventh aspect of the invention, the punch is arranged such that as a pierced hole is formed in the sheet metal by the projection, and the punch body is further inserted into a hole of a die in a state in which the movement of the sheet metal is restricted by the projection inserted in the pierced hole, the sheet metal is fractured around the end face of the punch body, thereby forming a through hole in the sheet metal, and the punch is used for an apparatus for punching sheet metal.
- In a case where the punch body is formed in the shape of a circular cylinder, and the outer edge of its end face is formed in the shape of a circle, the hole of the die is usually a circular hole, as in that of an eighth aspect of the invention. In a case where the punch body is formed in a shape other than the circular cylinder, and the outer edge of its end face is formed in a shape other than the circle, the hole of the die should preferably have a shape corresponding to the shapes of the punch body and the outer edge of its end face.
- The punch body may be formed in the shape of a circular cylinder, and the outer edge of the end face of the punch body may be formed in the shape of a circle, as in the punch in accordance with a ninth aspect of the invention; the punch body may be formed in the shape of a prism including a triangular prism, and the outer edge of the end face of the punch body may be formed in the shape of a polygon including a triangle, as in the punch in accordance with a 10th aspect of the invention; or the punch body may be formed in the shape of an elliptic cylinder, and the outer edge of the end face of the punch body may be formed in the shape of an ellipse, as in the punch in accordance with an 11th aspect of the invention. Thus, the punch body and the outer edge of its end face may have various shapes in connection with the through hole to be formed. In addition, the shapes of the punch body and the outer edge of its end face are not limited to the shapes of a circular cylinder, a prism, and an elliptic cylinder, as well as a circle, a polygon, and an ellipse, and the punch body and the outer edge of its end face may have other shapes in connection with the through hole to be formed.
- The projection may be formed in the shape of a circular cone, and the outer edge of the base of the projection may be formed in the shape of a circle, as in the punch in accordance with a 12th aspect of the invention; the projection may be formed in the shape of an elliptic cone, and the outer edge of the base of the projection may be formed in the shape of an ellipse, as in the punch in accordance with a 13th aspect of the invention; and the projection may be formed in the shape of a pyramid including a triangular pyramid, and the outer edge of the base of the projection may be formed in the shape of a polygon including a triangle, as in the punch in accordance with a 14th aspect of the invention. Such a projection and the outer edge of its base may have various shapes in connection with the thickness of the sheet metal where the through hole is to be formed, as well as the through hole to be formed. In addition, the shapes of the projection and the outer edge of its base are not limited to the shapes of a circular cone, an elliptic cone, and a pyramid, as well as a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon, and the projection and the outer edge of its base may have other shapes in connection with the thickness of the sheet metal where the through hole is to be formed, as well as the through hole to be formed.
- An apparatus for punching sheet metal in accordance with a first aspect of the invention comprises: the punch for punching sheet metal according to any one of the above-described aspects; and the die having the hole into which the punch is inserted, wherein a ratio D1/D2 of a diameter D2 of an imaginary circle inscribed by an outer edge of the hole of the die with respect to the diameter D1 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face is not less than 0.80, and if the thickness of the sheet metal to be punched is assumed to be t, a difference f between the radius D1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face and a radius D2/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the hole of the die is not less than 0.15 t.
- In the punching apparatus in accordance with the invention, a through hole is formed in the sheet metal by mainly causing tensile fracture to occur by applying slight shear to the sheet metal by means of the punch and the die. However, if the ratio D1/D2 is excessively small, shear does not practically take place, and if the difference f is excessively small, shear mainly takes place, and the tensile fracture fails to take place. If the ratio D1/D2 is not less than 0.80, and the difference f is not less than 0.15 t, as in the punching apparatus in accordance with the first aspect, tensile fracture is mainly caused to occur in addition to slight shear, making it possible to effectively form the through hole in the sheet metal.
- If the ratio D1/D2 is not less than 0.85, as in the punching apparatus in accordance with a second aspect of the invention, it is possible to form the through hole in the sheet metal more effectively.
- The difference f as a clearance of the punch with respect to the hole of the die is sufficient if it is not less than 0.15 t. Preferably, however, it suffices if the difference f is not more than 2 mm, as in the punching apparatus in accordance with a third aspect of the invention.
- As in the punching apparatus in accordance with a fourth aspect of the invention, the punching apparatus is arranged such that as a pierced hole is formed in the sheet metal by the projection, and the punch body is further inserted into the hole of the die in a state in which the movement of the sheet metal is restricted by the projection inserted in the pierced hole, the sheet metal is fractured around the end face of the punch body, thereby forming a through hole in the sheet metal.
- In any one of the above-described punching apparatuses, as in the punching apparatus in accordance with a fifth aspect of the invention, the die may further include a small hole which is continuous with the hole and has an outer edge inscribing an imaginary circle of a diameter D3 which is smaller than the diameter D2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the hole and is greater than diameter D1 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the outer edge of the end face. If such a small hole is provided, punch waste (scraps) produced after the formation of the through hole can be held in the small hole. Therefore, even if the hole and the small hole are disposed obliquely or horizontally, in other words, even if an attempt is made to effect the formation of the through hole obliquely or horizontally by moving the punch obliquely or horizontally, it is possible to eliminate the drawback that the punch waste falls in the small hole and cannot be discharged from the small hole, so that the through hole can be formed continuously in the consecutively supplied sheet metal.
- As in the punching apparatus in accordance with a sixth aspect of the invention, at least one of the hole and the small hole may be formed in the shape of a circle, a polygon including a triangle, or an ellipse in correspondence with the shape of the punch body.
- As for the sheet metal which is punched by the punching apparatus in accordance with the invention, its thickness is 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm or thereabouts to obtain a satisfactory result. To obtain a more satisfactory result, however, its thickness is 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm or thereabouts.
- A punch unit in accordance with a first aspect of the invention comprises: a case; a slider fitted to the case vertically slidably; the punch according to any one of first to 14th aspects fitted in the slider vertically slidably; and returning means disposed in the slider and adapted to return the punch and the slider to their initial positions by upwardly resiliently urging the punch and the slider.
- As in the punch unit in accordance with a second aspect of the invention, the punch unit in accordance with the first aspect preferably further comprises: a slide guiding member provided in the case so as to guide the vertical movement of the punch.
- As in the punch unit in accordance with a third aspect of the invention, the slider may have a recess and may be adapted to engage at the recess a detent pin secured to the case, so that the slider does not come off the case by the resiliency of the returning means. As in the punch unit in accordance with a fourth aspect of the invention, the returning means preferably has a coil spring; however, the present invention is not limited to the same, and another resilient member may be used.
- According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a punch and a punching apparatus having the punch, in which even if the thickness of the sheet metal where a through hole is to be formed is different, and even if the size and shape of the through hole to be formed in the sheet metal are different, punching can be optimally performed with respect to the sheet metal having a different thickness and the through hole of a different size and shape, and which make it possible to form a through hole with no burrs and at an accurate position.
- Hereafter, a more detailed description will be given of the present invention on the basis of the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
- In FIGS. 1 to 4, an
apparatus 1 for punching sheet metal in accordance with this embodiment includes anupper die holder 2 which is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram and the like; apressing plate 3 secured to theupper die holder 2; apressing pad 5 suspended from theupper die holder 2 through aresilient member 4; apunch holder 7 constructed as a punch unit secured to thepressing pad 5 by means of abolt 6 and the like; alower die 9 on whichsheet metal 8 to be subjected to punching is placed; and a die 10 embedded in thelower die 9. - The
punch holder 7 includes a hollowcylindrical case 11 secured to thepressing pad 5 by means of thebolt 6 and the like; a hollowcylindrical slider 12 fitted to thecase 11 vertically slidably; apunch 13 fitted in theslider 12 vertically slidably; a returning means having acoil spring 14 which is disposed in theslider 12 and is adapted to return thepunch 13 and theslider 12 to their initial positions by upwardly resiliently urging thepunch 13 and theslider 12 by means of thepunch 13; and aslide guiding member 15 provided in thecase 11 so as to guide the vertical movement of thepunch 13. - The
slider 12 has a recess 22, and is adapted to engage at the recess 22 adetent pin 21 secured to thecase 11, so that theslider 12 does not come off thecase 11 by the resiliency of thecoil spring 14. The slider is adapted to be pressed downward by thepressing plate 3 when theupper die holder 2 is lowered. - The
punch 13 for punching thesheet metal 8 includes apunch body 25 formed in the shape of a circular cylinder; aprojection 28 formed in the shape of one of a cone and a pyramid (circular cone in this embodiment) and provided integrally on onecircular end face 26 of thepunch body 25, theprojection 28 having acircular base 27 with a circularouter edge 31 inscribing an imaginary circle which is concentric with the center of an imaginary circle touched by a circularouter edge 35 of the end face 26 (in the case of thecircular end face 26, such an imaginary circle agrees with the circularouter edge 35 of that end face 26), and which has a smaller diameter d1 than an outside diameter D1 of that imaginary circle (in the case of thecircular base 27, the imaginary circle having the diameter d1 agrees with the circularouter edge 31 of that base 27); and acollar portion 30 provided integrally on the othercircular end face 29 of thepunch body 25. - In the
punch 13, an angle θ formed by theend face 26 and atangential line 37, which intersects an axis O of thepunch body 25 passing through the center of the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the center of the circularouter edge 35 of theend face 26, and which touches both a distal end face 36 of theprojection 28 and the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, is not less than 25° and not more than 60°. A ratio e/L between, on the one hand, a difference e between a radius D1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the circularouter edge 35 itself, and a radius d1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the circularouter edge 31 of thebase 27 of theprojection 28, i.e., the circularouter edge 31 itself, and, on the other hand, a length L (=πD1) of the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the length of theouter edge 35 itself, is a value which is not less than 0.05 and not more than 0.14. Theouter edge 35 of theend face 26 is chamfered with a radius of curvature R of not less than 0.3 mm and not more than 3 mm. - The angle θ may be not less than 30° and not more than 55°, and the ratio e/L may be not less than 0.09 and not more than 0.12.
- The
coil spring 14 abuts against thecollar portion 30 at one end thereof and aflange portion 41 of theslide guiding member 15 at the other end thereof. Theslide guiding member 15 has, in addition to theflange portion 41, acylindrical portion 43 formed integrally with theflange portion 41 and fitted in thecase 11 in ahole 42 of thecase 11, and slidably guides and supports a lower end portion of thepunch body 25 of thepunch 13 on the inner peripheral surface of thecylindrical portion 43. - The
die 10 has acircular hole 51 which is a hole into which thepunch 13 is inserted, as well as acircular hole 52 continuous with thecircular hole 51 and having a larger diameter than thecircular hole 51 so as to dischargepunch waste 57. A ratio D1/D2 of a diameter D2 of an imaginary circle inscribed by a circularouter edge 53 of the circular hole 51 (in this embodiment, this imaginary circle and the circularouter edge 53 of thecircular hole 51 agree) with respect to a diameter D1 of the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the circularouter edge 35, is not less than 0.80. If the thickness of thesheet metal 8 to be punched is assumed to be t, a difference (clearance) f between the radius D1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the circularouter edge 35 itself, and a radius D2/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the circularouter edge 53 of thecircular hole 51 of the die 10, i.e., the circularouter edge 53 itself of thecircular hole 51, is not less than 0.1 St and not more than 2 mm. - The ratio D1/D2 may be not less than 0.85, and the diameter D1 may be not more than 100 mm, not more than 35 mm, or not more than 30 mm.
- In the above-described
punching apparatus 1, as thepressing plate 3, thepressing pad 5, and thepunch holder 7 are lowered in conjunction with the lowering of theupper die holder 2, thesheet metal 8 placed on thelower die 9 is pressed by thepressing pad 5 and is fixed by being clamped between thelower die 9 and thepressing pad 5. At the same time, theslider 12 is pressed by thepressing plate 3, and thepunch 13 is lowered in conjunction with the lowering of theslider 12. As thepunch 13 is lowered, apierced hole 55 is formed in thesheet metal 8 by theprojection 28, as shown inFIG. 5 . In a state in which the movement of thesheet metal 8 is restricted by theprojection 28 inserted in thepierced hole 55, thepunch 13 is further lowered, and thepunch body 25 of thepunch 13 is inserted into thecircular hole 51 of thedie 10. Thereupon, thesheet metal 8 is fractured around theend face 26 of thepunch body 25, thereby forming a throughhole 56 in thesheet metal 8, as shown inFIG. 6 . - Incidentally, with the
punch 13, since the angle θ is not less than 25°, even if the diameter of the throughhole 56 to be formed in thesheet metal 8 is different, it is possible to effectively prevent the coming off of theprojection 28 from thepierced hole 55. In addition, since the ratio e/L is not less than 0.05, thesheet metal 8 can be satisfactorily tension-fractured by eliminating the effect of thepierced hole 55. Moreover, since the angle θ is not more than 60° and the ratio e/L is not more than 0.05, it is possible to satisfactorily avoid the bending, breakage, or the like of theprojection 28. Thus, it is possible to optimally perform punching with respect to thesheet metal 8 having different thicknesses t and the throughholes 56 having different diameters, thereby making it possible to form the throughhole 56 with no burrs and at an accurate position. - Moreover, since the
outer edge 35 of theend face 26 is chamfered with a radius of curvature R of not less than 0.3 mm and not more than 3 mm, it is possible to reduce the effect of shear constituting the cause of burrs and more satisfactorily tension-fracture thesheet metal 8. Furthermore, since the ratio D1/D2 is not less than 0.80, and the difference f is not less than 0.15 t, tensile fracture is mainly caused to occur in addition to slight shear, making it possible to effectively form the throughhole 56 in thesheet metal 8. - With the
punching apparatus 1, the throughhole 56 is formed by vertically moving thepunch 13, but the throughhole 56 may be formed in an inclined portion of thesheet metal 8 by obliquely moving thepunch 13. - In addition, although with the
punching apparatus 1 thedie 10 is constructed by including thecircular hole 51 into which thepunch 13 is inserted as well as thecircular hole 52 for discharging thepunch waste 57, thedie 10 may alternatively be constructed by further including, in addition to thecircular hole 51 and thecircular hole 52, a small hole, i.e., a smallcircular hole 61 in this embodiment, which is continuous with thecircular hole 51 and has a circularouter edge 60 inscribing an imaginary circle of a diameter D3 which is smaller than the diameter D2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the circularouter edge 53 of thecircular hole 51, i.e., the circularouter edge 53 itself of thecircular hole 51, and which is greater than diameter D1 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the circularouter edge 35 of theend face 26, i.e., the circularouter edge 35 itself (in the case of such a smallcircular hole 61, the imaginary circle of the diameter D3 and the circularouter edge 60 of the smallcircular hole 61 agree), as shown inFIG. 7 . If thepunch 13 is inserted down into such a smallcircular hole 61 disposed between thecircular hole 51 and thecircular hole 52, and an attempt is made to discharge thepunch waste 57 through the smallcircular hole 61, thepunch waste 57 which is produced after the formation of the throughhole 56 can be held in the smallcircular hole 61. Therefore, even if thecircular hole 51, thecircular hole 52, and the smallcircular hole 61 are disposed obliquely or horizontally, in other words, even if an attempt is made to effect the formation of the throughhole 56 obliquely or horizontally by moving thepunch 13 obliquely or horizontally, it is possible to eliminate the drawback that thepunch waste 57 falls in the smallcircular hole 61 and cannot be discharged from the smallcircular hole 61, so that the throughhole 56 can be formed continuously in the consecutively suppliedsheet metal 8. - In the above-described
punching apparatus 1, thepunch body 25 is formed in the shape of a circular cylinder, and the hole of the die 10 is also thecircular hole 51 corresponding to the shape of thepunch body 25. Alternatively, however, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 13, thepunch body 25 may be formed in the shape of a regular quadrangular prism, a quadrangular prism, an elliptic cylinder, and theouter edge 35 of theend face 26 of thepunch body 25 may be formed in the shape of a regular quadrangle (square), a quadrangle (rectangle), or an ellipse. In this case, as thedie 10, one whose hole is thehole 51 in the form of a regular quadrangle (square), a quadrangle (rectangle), or an ellipse corresponding to the shape of thepunch body 25 is used. - As shown in
FIGS. 8 and 9 , also in the case of thepunch 13 in which thepunch body 25 is formed in the shape of a regular quadrangular prism, which is one of prisms including a triangular prism, and theouter edge 35 of theend face 26 of thepunch body 25 is formed in the shape of a regular quadrangle, which is one of polygons including a triangle, as well as the die 10 having thehole 51 formed in the shape of a regular quadrangle, which is one of polygons including a triangle, settings are provided as follows: The angle θ formed by theend face 26 and thetangential line 37, which intersects the axis O of thepunch body 25 passing through the center of animaginary circle 71 inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, and which touches both the distal end face 36 of theprojection 28 and theimaginary circle 71 inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, is not less than 25° and not more than 60°. The ratio e/L between, on the one hand, the difference e between the radius D1/2 of theimaginary circle 71 inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26 and the radius d1/2 of the imaginary circle inscribed by the circularouter edge 31 of thebase 27 of theprojection 28, i.e., the circularouter edge 31 itself, and, on the other hand, the length L (=πD1) of theimaginary circle 71 inscribed by theouter edge 35 of theend face 26, is a value which is not less than 0.05 and not more than 0.14.
