Abstract
In the present application it is assumed that a metal molded body, manufactured by causing molten metal to flow into a casting mold, has a plate-shaped portion having a plate thickness T formed on a mold dividing surface of a side surface thereof.

Description
本発明は、ダイカスト鋳造後に剪断加工を施してバリを除去する、金属成型体の製造方法に係り、特に、自動車のコントロールユニットの金属筐体のように、コネクタ挿入口を備えた金属成型体の製造方法に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal molded body in which burrs are removed by performing a shearing process after die casting, and in particular, a metal molded body provided with a connector insertion port, such as a metal housing of an automobile control unit. It relates to a manufacturing method.
従来、ダイカスト鋳造品の金型分割面に発生するバリは、手作業で除去することが多かったが、手作業でのバリ除去には生産効率の悪化という問題があった。そこで、手作業でのバリ除去を補うため、ロボットによるバリ除去や、機械加工によるバリ除去の技術も提案されている。
Conventionally, burrs generated on the mold dividing surface of die-cast cast products were often removed manually, but manual deburring had a problem of deterioration in production efficiency. Therefore, in order to supplement the deburring by hand, a technique of deburring by a robot or a technique of deburring by machining has been proposed.
例えば、トリミングプレス金型を用いたバリ除去方法として、特許文献1の請求項1には、「金型のキャビティ内に金属溶湯を充填して貫通孔が形成された鋳造品を鋳造するときに、該貫通孔の内周面から該貫通孔の軸芯へ向けて延出するバリと、該バリの延出端から延出する湯溜り部とを設ける鋳造工程と、該鋳造品をトリミングプレス金型の下型に載置し、該トリミングプレス金型の上型であって該湯溜り部に対向する位置に設けられたパンチによって、該湯溜り部を該貫通孔の貫通方向に押圧する押圧工程とを行うことにより、該湯溜り部を該バリと共に該内周面から除去することを特徴とする鋳造品の貫通孔のバリ除去方法」が開示されている。
For example, as a deburring method using a trimming press die, claim 1 of Patent Document 1 states, "When casting a cast product in which a molten metal is filled in a die cavity and a through hole is formed. A casting step of providing a burr extending from the inner peripheral surface of the through hole toward the axis of the through hole and a hot water pool extending from the extending end of the burr, and a trimming press for the cast product. It is placed on the lower mold of the mold, and the hot water pool portion is pressed in the penetrating direction of the through hole by a punch provided at a position facing the hot water pool portion on the upper mold of the trimming press mold. A method for removing burrs from through-holes in a cast product, which comprises removing the pool portion together with the burrs from the inner peripheral surface by performing a pressing step, is disclosed.
ダイカスト鋳造品の金型分割面のバリは、鋳造金型の使用初期段階では発生しておらず、金型使用の繰り返しによる金型摩耗の結果、徐々に発生し、また、その大きさも徐々に増大するものである。そのため、特許文献1のように予め用意されたトリミング金型では、鋳造金型の使用を繰り返すうちに徐々に形状変化するバリの除去が困難であった。また、徐々に増大するバリが金型を摩耗する結果、比較的少ない使用回数で金型が使用不可になる場合もあった。
Burrs on the mold split surface of die-cast castings did not occur in the initial stage of use of the casting mold, but gradually occurred as a result of mold wear due to repeated use of the mold, and their size gradually increased. It will increase. Therefore, with a trimming die prepared in advance as in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to remove burrs that gradually change in shape as the casting die is repeatedly used. In addition, as a result of the gradually increasing burrs wearing the mold, the mold may become unusable with a relatively small number of uses.
例えば、トリミング金型と鋳造品の間に、所定長のバリを除去するのに適した隙間(クリアランス)を設けた場合であっても、隙間がバリの長さに対し大きい場合は、バリを除去しようとする際に、隙間内にバリが寝てしまい、バリを除去できなかったり、隙間がバリの長さに対し小さい場合は、バリを除去した個所に身食いが発生し寸法精度が悪化したり、鋳造品の平面度が悪化したりする問題もあった。
For example, even if a gap (clearance) suitable for removing burrs of a predetermined length is provided between the trimming die and the cast product, if the gap is larger than the length of the burrs, burrs are removed. When trying to remove the burr, the burr falls in the gap and the burr cannot be removed, or if the gap is small compared to the length of the burr, the part where the burr is removed will be eaten and the dimensional accuracy will deteriorate. There was also a problem that the flatness of the cast product was deteriorated.
また、金型分割面に発生するバリは、金型表面を局部的に圧縮するので、金型表面の変形や割れの要因になり、金型寿命を悪化させる問題もあった。
In addition, the burrs generated on the split surface of the mold locally compress the surface of the mold, which causes deformation and cracking of the surface of the mold, which has a problem of deteriorating the life of the mold.
そこで、本発明では、金型分割面でのバリの発生を抑制できるだけでなく、剪断加工によりバリを確実に除去することができる、金属成型体の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a metal molded body, which can not only suppress the generation of burrs on the mold dividing surface but also reliably remove burrs by shearing.

As shown in these, the punching apparatus of this embodiment has an outer punch 7 for shearing the outer plate-shaped portion 2a of the casting product 1 and an inner punch 8 for shearing the inner plate-shaped portion 3a. It is placed above. As is clear from FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8 basically have an inner peripheral shape or an outer peripheral shape along the outer circumference or the inner circumference of the casting product 1, but the casting product 1 and A gap (clearance L) described in detail in FIG. 8 is provided between them.
また、外パンチ7の先端部は外側板状部2aを確実に剪断加工するために、45°程度の角度を持たせており、最初にパンチ先端部が外側板状部2aの上面に接触することによって、外側板状部2に曲げ応力が掛かることを防止している。また、外パンチ7先端に角度を持たせることにより、外側板状部2aが変形していた場合にも、先端部から加工できるため、確実に剪断加工が可能となる。また、内パンチ8のように、剪断加工が可能であれば先端部をフラットにしても良い。
Further, the tip of the outer punch 7 is provided with an angle of about 45 ° in order to reliably shear the outer plate-shaped portion 2a, and the tip of the punch first contacts the upper surface of the outer plate-shaped portion 2a. As a result, bending stress is prevented from being applied to the outer plate-shaped portion 2. Further, by giving an angle to the tip of the outer punch 7, even if the outer plate-shaped portion 2a is deformed, it can be processed from the tip portion, so that shearing can be performed reliably. Further, as in the inner punch 8, if shearing is possible, the tip portion may be flattened.
次に、図5に基づき、本実施例のパンチ装置による剪断加工方法を説明する。
Next, a shearing method using the punching device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
図5(a)は、図4と同等のものであり、剪断加工前の外側板状部2aと内側板状部3aの上方に、外パンチ7と内パンチ8を配置した状態を示している。パンチ装置を駆動し、両パンチを下降させると、外側板状部2aと内側板状部3aに剪断加工が施され、図示しない外側板状部2cと内側板状部3cが除去される。この結果、図5(b)のような、各々長さLの外側板状部2bと内側板状部3bが形成される。ここで、外側板状部2bと内側板状部3bの剪断面は、外パンチ7と内パンチ8により剪断加工されたものであるので、双方の剪断面は面精度の高い平面状態となっている。
FIG. 5A is the same as that of FIG. 4, and shows a state in which the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8 are arranged above the outer plate-shaped portion 2a and the inner plate-shaped portion 3a before shearing. .. When the punching device is driven and both punches are lowered, the outer plate-shaped portion 2a and the inner plate-shaped portion 3a are sheared, and the outer plate-shaped portion 2c and the inner plate-shaped portion 3c (not shown) are removed. As a result, an outer plate-shaped portion 2b and an inner plate-shaped portion 3b having a length L, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5B are formed. Here, since the sheared surfaces of the outer plate-shaped portion 2b and the inner plate-shaped portion 3b are sheared by the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8, both sheared surfaces are in a flat state with high surface accuracy. There is.
図6は、剪断加工後の鋳造品1を示す。ここに示すように、剪断加工後の鋳造品1は、外側板状部2bの端面同士の距離がDo、内側板状部3bの端面同士の距離がDiとなっている。これらの端面は、外パンチ7と内パンチ8が剪断した平面であるため、鋳造品1の外形寸法Do、内形寸法Di、および、端面の面精度は、外パンチ7と内パンチ8の寸法精度が反映された高精度のものとなる。
FIG. 6 shows the cast product 1 after shearing. As shown here, in the cast product 1 after shearing, the distance between the end faces of the outer plate-shaped portion 2b is Do, and the distance between the end faces of the inner plate-shaped portion 3b is Di. Since these end faces are flat surfaces where the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8 are sheared, the outer dimension Do, the inner shape dimension Di, and the surface accuracy of the end face of the casting 1 are the dimensions of the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8. It will be a high-precision one that reflects the accuracy.
次に、図7に基づき、鋳造品1の開口へのコネクタ挿入を説明する。図6で示したように、剪断加工後の鋳造品1には、内形寸法Diの開口が中央に設けられている。この開口に、外形寸法がDiのオスコネクタ15aを挿入し、基板上の端子挿入穴15bと接続する場合、オスコネクタ15aは内形寸法Diである一対の内側板状部3bにガイドされて基板上の端子挿入穴15bに挿入される。このように、開口の内形寸法Diは剪断加工による高い寸法精度のものであり、また、内側板状部3bの端面の平面度も高く加工されているので、オスコネクタ15aを基板上の端子挿入穴15bに適切にガイドすることができ、組立精度を高めることができる。また、内側板状部3bの平らな端面とオスコネクタ15aの側面が全周に亘り一様に接触するので、両者間の気密性が向上するという効果も得ることができる。
<クリアランスLの最適値>
ここで、鋳造品1とパンチ間のクリアランスLの最適距離を、実験型による剪断面評価に基づいて説明する。 Next, the insertion of the connector into the opening of thecasting 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 6, the cast product 1 after shearing is provided with an opening having an internal dimension Di in the center. When a male connector 15a having an external dimension of Di is inserted into this opening and connected to a terminal insertion hole 15b on the substrate, the male connector 15a is guided by a pair of inner plate-shaped portions 3b having an internal dimension Di to the substrate. It is inserted into the upper terminal insertion hole 15b. As described above, the internal dimension Di of the opening is of high dimensional accuracy by shearing, and the flatness of the end face of the inner plate-shaped portion 3b is also high, so that the male connector 15a is a terminal on the substrate. It can be appropriately guided to the insertion hole 15b, and the assembly accuracy can be improved. Further, since the flat end surface of the inner plate-shaped portion 3b and the side surface of the male connector 15a are in uniform contact over the entire circumference, the effect of improving the airtightness between the two can be obtained.
<Optimal value of clearance L>
Here, the optimum distance of the clearance L between the casting 1 and the punch will be described based on the evaluation of the shear plane by the experimental type.
<クリアランスLの最適値>
ここで、鋳造品1とパンチ間のクリアランスLの最適距離を、実験型による剪断面評価に基づいて説明する。 Next, the insertion of the connector into the opening of the

Here, the optimum distance of the clearance L between the casting 1 and the punch will be described based on the evaluation of the shear plane by the experimental type.
図5に例示した工程を経て、鋳造品1を剪断加工する場合、板状部の板厚TとクリアランスLの関係が不適切であれば、鋳造品1の側面に、身食い(えぐれ等)、かじり(擦り傷等)、バリなどの不良が発生する可能性がある。
When the casting 1 is sheared through the process illustrated in FIG. 5, if the relationship between the plate thickness T of the plate-shaped portion and the clearance L is inappropriate, the side surface of the casting 1 is eaten (such as gouging). , Gnawing (scratches, etc.), burrs, and other defects may occur.
図8の品質評価図は、クリアランスLを0~0.5mmの範囲で5段階に変化させるとともに、板厚Tを0.5~2.5mmの範囲で5段階に変化させたときの、各条件下での剪断品質をまとめた評価図である。この評価図には、例えば、クリアランスLが0mmであれば、板厚Tに関わらずかじりが発生し、クリアランスLが0.5mmであれば、板厚Tに関わらずバリが発生したことが示されている。また、この評価図には、斜線で示すOK範囲の条件下であれば、良好な剪断品質が得られたことも示されている。従って、図8からは、少なくとも以下の結論を読み取ることができる。

This evaluation diagram shows, for example, that if the clearance L is 0 mm, galling occurs regardless of the plate thickness T, and if the clearance L is 0.5 mm, burrs occur regardless of the plate thickness T. Has been done. The evaluation chart also shows that good shear quality was obtained under the conditions of the OK range indicated by the diagonal lines. Therefore, at least the following conclusions can be read from FIG.

鋳造品1の形状が異なれば、上記とは異なる結論が導かれる可能性もあるため、板厚TとクリアランスLの関係は実験型により、その都度求めることが望ましいが、図8の実験結果から導かれた結論3や結論4からは、クリアランスLが板厚Tの10%以下である場合に(すなわち、L≦T/10である場合に)、良好な剪断品質が得られると推測することができる。また、結論2からは、板厚Tが薄ければ、クリアランスLが板厚Tの20%以下である場合に(すなわち、L≦T/5である場合に)、良好な剪断品質が得られると推測することができる。
If the shape of the cast product 1 is different, a conclusion different from the above may be drawn. Therefore, it is desirable to obtain the relationship between the plate thickness T and the clearance L each time by an experimental type, but from the experimental results of FIG. From the derived conclusions 3 and 4, it can be inferred that good shear quality is obtained when the clearance L is 10% or less of the plate thickness T (that is, when L ≦ T / 10). Can be done. Further, from conclusion 2, if the plate thickness T is thin, good shear quality can be obtained when the clearance L is 20% or less of the plate thickness T (that is, when L ≦ T / 5). Can be inferred.
なお、図8においては、板厚Tが2.5mm以上で身食いが発生したが、鋳造品の形状条件によっては、板厚Tが3.0mmであっても良好な剪断品質を得ることができると予測される。従って、上述した結論1を、良好な剪断品質を得ることができる板厚Tは0.5~3.0の範囲である、と拡張しても良い。
In FIG. 8, when the plate thickness T is 2.5 mm or more, eating occurs, but depending on the shape condition of the cast product, good shear quality can be obtained even if the plate thickness T is 3.0 mm. It is expected that it can be done. Therefore, the above-mentioned conclusion 1 may be extended to the plate thickness T in which good shear quality can be obtained in the range of 0.5 to 3.0.
以上で説明した、本実施例の金属成型体の製造方法によれば、パンチ装置を用いて金属成型体(鋳造品1)の外周形状および内周形状を精度良く仕上げることができるので、鋳造品1の開口にコネクタを挿入する際に、コネクタを精度よく所望の位置までガイドでき組立精度が向上するだけでなく、鋳造品1とコネクタの接触面の機密性を向上させることができ、内部への水の侵入等を防止することができる。
According to the method for manufacturing the metal molded body of the present embodiment described above, the outer peripheral shape and the inner peripheral shape of the metal molded body (cast product 1) can be finished with high accuracy by using the punching device. When inserting the connector into the opening of 1, the connector can be accurately guided to the desired position, which not only improves the assembly accuracy, but also improves the airtightness of the contact surface between the casting 1 and the connector, and goes inside. It is possible to prevent the intrusion of water.
次に、図9~図14を用いて、本発明の実施例2に係る金属成型体の製造方法により製造されたコントロールユニット本体16を説明する。なお、実施例1との共通点は重複説明を省略する。
Next, the control unit main body 16 manufactured by the method for manufacturing the metal molded body according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 14. It should be noted that the common points with the first embodiment will be omitted.
まず、図9と図10を用いて、本実施例のコントロールユニット本体16の鋳造工程を説明する。コントロールユニット本体16は、実施例1の鋳造品1の開口に相当するものとしてコネクタ挿入口16aを備えたダイカスト鋳造品である。
First, the casting process of the control unit main body 16 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. The control unit main body 16 is a die-cast cast product provided with a connector insertion port 16a as corresponding to the opening of the cast product 1 of the first embodiment.
図9は、コントロールユニット本体16用の鋳造金型内での溶融金属流F1を示している。矢印で示すように、鋳造圧力を掛けて湯口18に流し込まれた溶融金属は、ランナ17と、1.2mm程度の開口厚のゲートを介して、コントロールユニット本体16と同形状の空間に流れ込む。このとき、空間内の空気は、ゲートと反対方向に設けた1.5mm程度の開口厚のオーバーフロー19から逃がされるので、コントロールユニット本体16と同形状の空間の全体に溶融金属を充填することができる。このようにして鋳造されたコントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sには、図2に示す鋳造品1と同様に、外周部に外側板状部2aが形成され、また、コネクタ挿入口16aの内周部に内側板状部3aが形成される。
Figure 9 shows a molten metal stream F 1 in a casting mold for the control unit body 16. As shown by the arrow, the molten metal poured into the sprue 18 under casting pressure flows into the space having the same shape as the control unit main body 16 through the runner 17 and the gate having an opening thickness of about 1.2 mm. At this time, the air in the space is released from the overflow 19 having an opening thickness of about 1.5 mm provided in the direction opposite to the gate, so that the entire space having the same shape as the control unit main body 16 can be filled with molten metal. it can. Similar to the cast product 1 shown in FIG. 2, an outer plate-shaped portion 2a is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the mold dividing surface S of the control unit main body 16 cast in this manner, and the connector insertion port 16a An inner plate-shaped portion 3a is formed on the inner peripheral portion.
図10は、図9に示すZ-Z平面での、外側板状部2a近傍の拡大断面図である。ここに示すように、比較的大きな空間を流れる高圧の溶融金属流F1は、板厚Toの狭い空間に流れ込む際に断面減少により圧力が低下し、低圧力の溶融金属流F2に変化する。そのため、外側板状部2aの先端から金型分割面Sに流出する溶融金属が少なり、鋳造金型の摩耗が抑制され、バリ4の発生も抑制される。同様の作用により、内側板状部3a側でのバリ4の発生も抑制される。このようにして外側板状部2aや内側板状部3aの先端でのバリ4の発生が抑制されると、鋳造金型を繰り返し使用することによるバリ4による鋳造金型の劣化の進展も抑制されるので、鋳造金型の寿命を延ばすことができる。
FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the outer plate-shaped portion 2a on the ZZ plane shown in FIG. As shown here, the high-pressure molten metal flow F 1 flowing through a relatively large space changes to a low-pressure molten metal flow F 2 due to a decrease in cross section when flowing into a narrow space having a plate thickness To. .. Therefore, the amount of molten metal flowing out from the tip of the outer plate-shaped portion 2a to the mold dividing surface S is reduced, the wear of the casting mold is suppressed, and the generation of burrs 4 is also suppressed. By the same action, the generation of burrs 4 on the inner plate-shaped portion 3a side is also suppressed. When the generation of burrs 4 at the tips of the outer plate-shaped portion 2a and the inner plate-shaped portion 3a is suppressed in this way, the progress of deterioration of the casting mold due to the burrs 4 due to repeated use of the casting mold is also suppressed. Therefore, the life of the casting die can be extended.
次に、図11に基づき、コントロールユニット本体16の剪断工程について説明をする。図9の鋳造工程により製造されたコントロールユニット本体16からは、パンチ装置による剪断加工を施す前に、湯口18、ランナ17、オーバーフロー19の各空間内で凝固した金属塊を予め除去しておくことが望ましいが、パンチ装置による剪断加工時にこれらの金属塊を同時に剪断することとしても良い。
Next, the shearing process of the control unit main body 16 will be described with reference to FIG. From the control unit main body 16 manufactured by the casting process of FIG. 9, the solidified metal lumps in each of the sprue 18, runner 17, and overflow 19 spaces are removed in advance before shearing by the punching device. However, these metal ingots may be sheared at the same time during the shearing process by the punching device.
コントロールユニット本体16の外周の外側板状部2aと、コネクタ挿入口16aの内周の内側板状部3aは、外パンチ7と内パンチ8を備えた、図11に示す剪断金型22で剪断する。
The outer plate-shaped portion 2a on the outer circumference of the control unit main body 16 and the inner plate-shaped portion 3a on the inner circumference of the connector insertion port 16a are sheared by a shearing die 22 provided with an outer punch 7 and an inner punch 8. To do.
図9、図10でも示したように、ダイカスト鋳造工程においては、コントロールユニット本体16の外周には、全周に亘って、外側板状部2aが略対称形状に形成され、また、コネクタ挿入口16aの内周には、全周に亘って、内側板状部3aが略対称形状に形成される。このため、剪断工程においては、剪断金型22の外パンチ7は、外側板状部2aを全周に亘り同時に剪断し、また、剪断金型22の内パンチ8は、内側板状部3aを全周に亘り同時に剪断することで、コントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sに形成された両板状部をバランスよく対称に剪断できるので、剪断加工後のコントロールユニット本体16の平面度のばらつきを低減することができる。
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the die casting process, the outer plate-shaped portion 2a is formed in a substantially symmetrical shape on the outer circumference of the control unit main body 16 over the entire circumference, and the connector insertion port is also formed. On the inner circumference of 16a, an inner plate-shaped portion 3a is formed in a substantially symmetrical shape over the entire circumference. Therefore, in the shearing step, the outer punch 7 of the shearing die 22 simultaneously shears the outer plate-shaped portion 2a over the entire circumference, and the inner punch 8 of the shearing die 22 presses the inner plate-shaped portion 3a. By simultaneously shearing over the entire circumference, both plate-shaped portions formed on the mold dividing surface S of the control unit main body 16 can be sheared in a well-balanced and symmetrical manner, so that the flatness of the control unit main body 16 after shearing varies. Can be reduced.
なお、板厚Tが厚くなると板状部の剪断加工に要する応力が上がり、コントロールユニット本体16の平面度が劣化する要因となるため、板厚Tは薄い方が良く、特に好適な板厚Tの範囲は、T=0.5~1.5mmである。
When the plate thickness T becomes thicker, the stress required for shearing the plate-shaped portion increases, which causes deterioration of the flatness of the control unit main body 16. Therefore, it is preferable that the plate thickness T is thin, and a particularly suitable plate thickness T is used. The range of is T = 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
次に、図11に基づき、本実施例の剪断金型をより詳細に説明をする。本実施例における金属成型体であるコトロールユニット本体16は、剪断金型22にセットされ、金型ストリッパ33で押えられた後、外パンチ7と内パンチ8が下降することにより、両板状部が剪断される。この時、外パンチ7または内パンチ8とコントロールユニット本体16のクリアランスLと板厚Tの関係には、実施例1と同様に図8の関係があり、L≦T/5、特に、L≦T/10 のときに、良好な剪断面を得ることができる。
Next, the shearing die of this embodiment will be described in more detail based on FIG. The control unit main body 16 which is a metal molded body in this embodiment is set in a shearing die 22 and is pressed by a die stripper 33, and then the outer punch 7 and the inner punch 8 are lowered to form both plates. The part is sheared. At this time, the relationship between the clearance L and the plate thickness T between the outer punch 7 or the inner punch 8 and the control unit main body 16 has the relationship shown in FIG. 8 as in the first embodiment, and L ≦ T / 5, especially L ≦. A good shear surface can be obtained at T / 10.
なお、図11に示す剪断金型22において、ばね25は金型ストリッパ33を押える荷重を与える重要な役割を持っており、ばね25の荷重により、ワーク(コトロールユニット本体16)のがたつきを抑制する。このため、適切なクリアランスLを保つために、剪断荷重の10%以上のばね荷重を与えておくことが望ましい。
In the shearing die 22 shown in FIG. 11, the spring 25 has an important role of applying a load for pressing the die stripper 33, and the load of the spring 25 causes the work (cotrol unit body 16) to rattle. Suppress. Therefore, in order to maintain an appropriate clearance L, it is desirable to apply a spring load of 10% or more of the shear load.
次に、図12に基づき、コントロールユニット本体16の剪断加工の詳細を説明する。
上述したように、コントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sに形成された板状部の剪断には、外パンチ7、および、内パンチ8が用いられる。剪断金型22を加圧すると、外パンチ7が下方に移動し、外側板状部2aに接触するとともに、内パンチ8が下方に移動し、内側板状部3aに接触する。剪断金型22をさらに加圧すると、外パンチ7が外側板状部2aから外側板状部2cを剪断除去し、内パンチ8が内側板状部3aから内側板状部3cを剪断除去することで、コントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sには、所定の長さLの外側板状部2bと内側板状部3bが形成される。 Next, the details of the shearing process of the control unitmain body 16 will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, theouter punch 7 and the inner punch 8 are used for shearing the plate-shaped portion formed on the mold dividing surface S of the control unit main body 16. When the shearing die 22 is pressed, the outer punch 7 moves downward and contacts the outer plate-shaped portion 2a, and the inner punch 8 moves downward and contacts the inner plate-shaped portion 3a. When the shearing die 22 is further pressurized, the outer punch 7 shears and removes the outer plate-shaped portion 2c from the outer plate-shaped portion 2a, and the inner punch 8 shears and removes the inner plate-shaped portion 3c from the inner plate-shaped portion 3a. The outer plate-shaped portion 2b and the inner plate-shaped portion 3b having a predetermined length L are formed on the mold dividing surface S of the control unit main body 16.
上述したように、コントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sに形成された板状部の剪断には、外パンチ7、および、内パンチ8が用いられる。剪断金型22を加圧すると、外パンチ7が下方に移動し、外側板状部2aに接触するとともに、内パンチ8が下方に移動し、内側板状部3aに接触する。剪断金型22をさらに加圧すると、外パンチ7が外側板状部2aから外側板状部2cを剪断除去し、内パンチ8が内側板状部3aから内側板状部3cを剪断除去することで、コントロールユニット本体16の金型分割面Sには、所定の長さLの外側板状部2bと内側板状部3bが形成される。 Next, the details of the shearing process of the control unit
As described above, the
以上で説明した本実施例の金属成型体の製造方法によれば、実施例1と同様に、金属成型体(コントロールユニット本体16)の外周形状および内周形状を精度良く仕上げることができるので、コネクタ挿入口16aにコネクタを挿入する際に、コネクタを精度よく所望の位置までガイドできるだけでなく、コントロールユニット本体16とコネクタの接触面の機密性を向上させることができ、内部への水の侵入等を防止することができる。
According to the method for manufacturing the metal molded body of the present embodiment described above, the outer peripheral shape and the inner peripheral shape of the metal molded body (control unit main body 16) can be finished with high accuracy as in the first embodiment. When inserting the connector into the connector insertion port 16a, not only can the connector be accurately guided to the desired position, but also the airtightness of the contact surface between the control unit body 16 and the connector can be improved, and water can enter the inside. Etc. can be prevented.
次に、本発明の実施例3に係る金属成型体を、図13の展開図を用いて説明する。なお、上述の実施例との共通点は重複説明を省略する。
Next, the metal molded body according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the developed view of FIG. It should be noted that the common points with the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

(ECU、Electronic Control Unit)の金属筐体(ダイカストケ-ス37)である。エンジンルームに搭載される電子制御装置は、基板内に実装される電子部品を保護するために、防水性が要求されている。そのため、電子制御装置は回路基板を密閉収納した筐体を構成するケースとカバーとの間の防水シール性を向上した構造となっている。 The metal molded body in this embodiment is a metal housing (die casting case 37) of an electronic control unit (ECU, Electronic Control Unit) mounted in an engine room of an automobile. The electronic control device mounted in the engine room is required to be waterproof in order to protect the electronic components mounted on the substrate. Therefore, the electronic control device has a structure in which the waterproof sealability between the case and the cover constituting the housing in which the circuit board is hermetically housed is improved.

The electronic control device mounted in the engine room is required to be waterproof in order to protect the electronic components mounted on the substrate. Therefore, the electronic control device has a structure in which the waterproof sealability between the case and the cover constituting the housing in which the circuit board is hermetically housed is improved.
本実施例のダイカストケ-ス37は、上述した実施例と同様に、アルミダイカスト素材ADC12相当材の鋳造品であり、電子制御装置に挿入される三つのコネクタ38a、38b、38cは、図13に示すように、シール材46を介してコネクタ挿入口37aに固定されている。また、プリント配線基板40は金属部品であるカバー41とダイカストケース37とで挟み込む形でシール材39を塗布後、ねじ43によって組立固定する。
The die-cast case 37 of this embodiment is a cast product of an aluminum die-cast material ADC12 equivalent as in the above-described embodiment, and the three connectors 38a, 38b, and 38c inserted into the electronic control device are shown in FIG. As shown in the above, the connector is fixed to the connector insertion port 37a via the sealing material 46. Further, the printed wiring board 40 is assembled and fixed by screws 43 after applying the sealing material 39 so as to be sandwiched between the cover 41 which is a metal component and the die casting case 37.
放熱接着材42は電子部品の発熱を、プリント配線基板40を介して、ダイカストケース37の面精度のある台座に伝導する。放熱接着材42の厚さは、薄ければ薄いほど、発熱を伝導しやすい。ダイカストケース37が反り変形すると、プリント配線基板40とのクリアランスが広がるため、放熱性能が悪化する。そこで、放熱性能を維持するためには、ダイカストケース37の変形を抑えることが有効である。また、放熱が必要な発熱する電子部品は放熱フィン45の下に配置される。
The heat-dissipating adhesive 42 conducts the heat generated by the electronic components to the surface-accurate pedestal of the die-cast case 37 via the printed wiring board 40. The thinner the heat-dissipating adhesive 42, the easier it is to conduct heat generation. When the die casting case 37 is warped and deformed, the clearance with the printed wiring board 40 is widened, so that the heat dissipation performance is deteriorated. Therefore, in order to maintain the heat dissipation performance, it is effective to suppress the deformation of the die casting case 37. Further, the heat-generating electronic components that require heat dissipation are arranged under the heat dissipation fins 45.
ダイカストケース37の鋳造工程において、ダイカストケース37の外周部の金型分割面Sに外側板状部2を略対称の形状に鋳造し、鋳造工程後の剪断加工により該板状突起を同時に剪断することにより、板状突起剪断部44が形成されるが、その剪断工程の中で、ダイカストケース37の底面は剪断金型の下プレートで受けられており、また、加工時には剪断金型のパンチにより外周部に沿って均等な加工応力が掛かることにより、平面が矯正されて、その平面度が向上する効果がある。
In the casting process of the die casting case 37, the outer plate-shaped portion 2 is cast into a substantially symmetrical shape on the mold dividing surface S of the outer peripheral portion of the die casting case 37, and the plate-shaped protrusions are simultaneously sheared by a shearing process after the casting process. As a result, the plate-shaped protrusion shearing portion 44 is formed, and in the shearing process, the bottom surface of the die casting case 37 is received by the lower plate of the cutting die, and during processing, the punch of the cutting die is used. By applying uniform machining stress along the outer peripheral portion, the flat surface is straightened and the flatness is improved.
さらに、板状突起剪断部44はダイカストケース37の外周部に位置し、剪断加工された板状突起剪断部44は平らな面を有し、また、寸法精度が向上しているため、カバー41との勘合において、気密性が向上する効果がある。
Further, the plate-shaped protrusion shearing portion 44 is located on the outer peripheral portion of the die-cast case 37, and the sheared plate-shaped protrusion shearing portion 44 has a flat surface and the dimensional accuracy is improved, so that the cover 41 There is an effect of improving the airtightness in the fitting with.
