Description

プレス成形装置、およびプレス成形品の製造方法PRESS MOLDING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PRESS MOLDED PRODUCT
 本発明は、プレス成形装置、およびプレス成形品の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a press molding device and a method of manufacturing a press molded product.
 鋼板をプレス成形することで得られるプレス成形品として、例えば、自動車サスペンションアームを挙げることができる(例えば、特許文献1,2参照)。自動車サスペンションアームについては、自動車の商品性向上、長寿命化、近年のCO排出量の削減要請、および原動機の電動化に伴う航続距離確保の観点から、部品要求性能(強度、および剛性)の向上と軽量化の両立が求められている。自動車部品を軽量化する有効な手段としては材料の高強度化(ハイテン化)による板厚削減に加え、プレス成形品の周辺付帯部品との機能統合による一体化(部品省略)を挙げることができる。 An example of a press-molded product obtained by press-molding a steel plate is an automobile suspension arm (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Regarding automobile suspension arms, from the viewpoint of improving the marketability of automobiles, extending the life of automobiles, reducing CO2 emissions in recent years, and ensuring cruising distance due to the electrification of prime movers, the required performance (strength and rigidity) of parts has been improved. Both improvement and weight reduction are required. Effective ways to reduce the weight of automotive parts include reducing the plate thickness by increasing the strength of the material (high-tensile strength), as well as integrating the functions of the press-formed product with peripheral accessory parts (parts omitted). .
 上述のサスペンションアームについては、アーム端部の一対のフランジにバーリング成形部を対向位置することで、サスペンションアームと車体側との締結を担うカラー部品を省略したカラー一体構造型の開発が進められている。しかしながら、現状の量産プレス成形工程制約内において、このような構造の量産には困難が伴う。 Regarding the above-mentioned suspension arm, a collar-integrated structure type is being developed in which the collar part responsible for fastening the suspension arm and the vehicle body is omitted by locating the burring molded part facing the pair of flanges at the end of the arm. there is However, it is difficult to mass-produce such a structure within the constraints of the current mass-production press molding process.
 上記の困難が伴う理由としては、対向配置されたバーリング成形部の成形性にある。一対のフランジ、すなわち、2箇所の縦壁部分が対向した配置でバーリング成形を行う構成が、特許文献1に記載されている。特許文献1には、断面U字状のワークの2つのフランジ部に、互いに対向するバーリング穴を加工するための金型が開示されている。この金型は、2つのフランジ部(Fb,Fb)を挟むように配置される一対のバーリングポンチ(32,33)と、2つのフランジ部(Fb,Fb)間に配置される一対の半円状のスライドダイ(5,6)であって互いに組み合わされることでダイ穴(27)形成する一対のスライドダイ(5,6)とを有する。そして、バーリングポンチ(32,33)が2つのフランジ部(Fb,Fb)を貫通してダイ穴(27)に到達することで、2つのフランジ部(Fb,Fb)における2つのバーリング穴(B,B)の成形を同時に行う。バーリング穴(B,B)の成形後は、バーリングポンチ(32,33)を互いに遠ざかる方向に移動させるとともに、スライドダイ(5,6)を互いに遠ざかる方向に移動させる。その後、ワーク(W)がバーリング成形金型から上方に抜き取られる。しかしながら、このような構成では、バーリング成形金型を種々の方向に動作させる必要がある。このため、金型設計が複雑化するとともに、少なくとも2~4点以上の多工程が必要となり、既存制約内での工程数配置が困難となる。 The reason for the above difficulties lies in the formability of the burring formed parts that are arranged oppositely. Patent Document 1 describes a configuration in which burring is performed with a pair of flanges, that is, two vertical wall portions facing each other. Patent Literature 1 discloses a mold for forming opposing burring holes in two flange portions of a workpiece having a U-shaped cross section. This mold includes a pair of burring punches (32, 33) arranged to sandwich two flanges (Fb, Fb) and a pair of semicircles arranged between the two flanges (Fb, Fb). a pair of slide dies (5, 6) which are shaped like slide dies (5, 6) and are combined with each other to form a die hole (27). Then, the two burring holes (B , B) are carried out at the same time. After forming the burring holes (B, B), the burring punches (32, 33) are moved away from each other, and the slide dies (5, 6) are moved away from each other. After that, the workpiece (W) is extracted upward from the burring mold. However, such a configuration requires movement of the burring mold in various directions. This complicates the mold design and requires at least two to four or more steps, making it difficult to arrange the number of steps within the existing restrictions.
特許第3674287号Patent No. 3674287 特開2012-188076号公報JP 2012-188076 A
 より少ない工程で一対のフランジのそれぞれにバーリング成形部を形成する方法として、特許文献1に記載のようなバーリング成形加工を施すのではなく、一対のフランジを立上成形する前段階の平らな板状素材にバーリング成形を施す方法がある(例えば、特許文献2参照)。このようなバーリング成形方法であれば、バーリング成形の後に平らな板状素材の一部を立ち上げてフランジを成形する。よって、バーリング金型のパンチとダイを多方向に動作させる構成が不要となるため、バーリング成形工程を1工程で済ますことができ、制約のある既存設備内でのバーリング成形加工が、大幅なコスト上昇を招かずに可能となる。 As a method of forming a burring formed portion on each of a pair of flanges in a fewer number of steps, a flat plate is used in the stage prior to forming the pair of flanges upright instead of applying the burring forming process as described in Patent Document 1. There is a method of performing burring molding on a shaped material (see, for example, Patent Document 2). With such a burring method, after burring, a portion of the flat plate-shaped material is raised to form the flange. This eliminates the need for a structure that moves the punches and dies of the burring mold in multiple directions, so the burring process can be completed in a single process. It is possible without incurring an increase.
 但し、バーリング成形の後に素材の一部を立ち上げて一対のフランジを成形する方法では、バーリング成形後に、バーリング成形部を含む箇所を立ち上げ成形して一対のフランジを成形する必要がある。素材の一部を曲げて一対のフランジを立ち上げる立上工程において、バーリング成形部(フランジ)と金型との干渉を防ぎ、また最終工程後の金型からのプレス成形品の分離をはかるため、上下金型間に空洞箇所を配置する必要がある。この空洞箇所では、プレス成形品を上下金型できっちり挟み込むことができない。その結果、立上成形後に、空洞箇所に対向する箇所において形状のずれ、ゆがみが発生する可能性があり、サスペンションアームに求められる形状精度確保の課題解決が必要である。 However, in the method of forming a pair of flanges by raising part of the material after burring, it is necessary to form a pair of flanges by raising and forming the part including the burring formed part after burring. To prevent interference between the burring forming part (flange) and the die during the start-up process of bending a part of the material to raise a pair of flanges, and to separate the press-formed product from the die after the final process. , it is necessary to place a cavity between the upper and lower molds. At this hollow portion, the press-molded product cannot be tightly sandwiched between the upper and lower molds. As a result, there is a possibility that the portion facing the hollow portion may be deformed or distorted after the rise molding, and it is necessary to solve the problem of securing the shape accuracy required for the suspension arm.
 同様の課題は、サスペンションアームに限らず、他の製品として用いられるプレス成形品にも存在する。このような背景を踏まえ、本発明の目的の一つは、より簡素な工法で寸法精度の高いプレス成形品を製造することのできる、プレス成形装置、およびプレス成形品の製造方法を提供することにある。 Similar issues exist not only for suspension arms, but also for press-molded products used as other products. In light of this background, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a press-molding apparatus and a method of manufacturing a press-molded product that can manufacture a press-molded product with high dimensional accuracy using a simpler method.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2C, the press-formed product 60 is a structural component of an automobile. Such structural components include, for example, chassis components.

Furthermore, the cross section through the groove is an open section. In this embodiment, the angle θ of each vertical wall 63A, 63B with respect to the base 61 may be within the range of 0<θ≦90 degrees. In this embodiment, each of the vertical walls 63A and 63B extends toward the rear surface 61f of the front surface 61e and the rear surface 61f of the base 61 (below the height direction Z1).

In plan view, at least a portion between the pair of flanges 64A and 64B is not covered with the base 61 so that the gap 68 between the pair of flanges 64A and 64B is visible. That is, in the longitudinal direction X1, the edge 61a of the base 61 is notched before the location where the projections 65A and 65B are arranged. With this configuration, when the press-formed product 60 is manufactured, the pair of planned flange portions are bent to the pair of flanges 64A and 64B by bending the pair of planned vertical wall portions with respect to the planned base portion of the workpiece that is a steel plate material. When molding, molds can be inserted from both sides of the pair of flanges 64A and 64B in the height direction Z1. Thereby, the distance between the pair of flanges 64A and 64B can be set to a desired value with high accuracy. A planned portion means a portion of the work that becomes a specific portion of the press-formed product 60 . The details of the method of manufacturing the press-formed product 60 will be described later. Preferably, between the upper and lower ends of the pair of flanges 64A and 64B on the side of the base 61 in the height direction Z1 is not covered with the base 61 and is open in the height direction Z1.

In this embodiment, each projection 65A, 65B is integrally formed with the corresponding flange 64A, 64B by burring molding, and the flange 64A, 65B is formed from the edge of the hole formed in the corresponding flange 64A, 64B. It extends in the plate thickness direction of 64B. Each convex portion 65A, 65B is formed in a cylindrical shape between flanges 64A, 64B. The pair of protrusions 65A and 65B are separated from each other in this embodiment.
 なお、本実施形態では、プレス成形品60は、長手方向X1に対称な形状に形成されている。よって、一対のフランジ66A,66Bおよび一対の凸部67A,67Bの構成は、一対のフランジ64A,64Bおよび一対の凸部65,65と同様であるので、詳細な説明を省略する。 Note that, in the present embodiment, the press-formed product 60 is formed in a shape symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction X1.

 <プレス成形品の製造方法、およびプレス成形品を製造するためのプレス成形装置の構成>
 次に、プレス成形品60の製造方法の一例、およびプレス成形品60を製造するためのプレス成形装置100,200,300の構成の一例を説明する。プレス成形品60の製造方法は、鋼板からブランクを切り出すブランキング工程(ステップS1)と、ブランクからバーリング成形用の下孔を成形する下孔成形工程(ステップS2)と、下孔が成形された中間成形品にバーリング加工を施して凸部を成形するバーリング成形工程(ステップS3)と、凸部が成形されたバーリング加工済素材である中間成形品の周囲をトリムするトリム工程(ステップS4)と、トリム加工された中間成形品をプレス成形品60のワークに仕上げる第1立上工程(ステップS5)と、ワークをプレス成形品60に仕上げる第2立上工程(ステップS6)と、を有している。なお、本実施形態では、第1立上工程(ステップS5)と第2立上工程(ステップS6)は、まとめて立上工程ともいう。立上工程は、中間成形品からワークを成形しさらにワークをプレス成形品60に成形する工程である。各工程は必ずしも連続して行う必要はない。例えば、ブランクを購入して立ち上げ工程をしてもよい。
<Method for producing press-formed product, and configuration of press-forming apparatus for producing press-formed product>
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the press-formed product 60 and an example of the configuration of the press-forming apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 for manufacturing the press-formed product 60 will be described. The method of manufacturing the press-formed product 60 includes a blanking step (step S1) of cutting a blank from a steel plate, a pilot hole forming step (step S2) of forming a pilot hole for burring forming from the blank, and a pilot hole forming step (step S2). A burring step (step S3) in which the intermediate molded product is burred to form a convex portion, and a trimming step (step S4) in which the periphery of the intermediate molded product, which is a burred material with the convex portion formed, is trimmed. , a first start-up step (step S5) of finishing the trimmed intermediate product into a work of the press-formed product 60, and a second start-up step (step S6) of finishing the work into the press-formed product 60. ing. In this embodiment, the first rising process (step S5) and the second rising process (step S6) are collectively referred to as the rising process. The start-up process is a process of forming a work from an intermediate formed product and further forming the work into a press-formed product 60 . Each step does not necessarily have to be performed continuously. For example, a blank may be purchased and the start-up process performed.
 なお、本実施形態では、プレス成形品60の製造方法としてトリム工程(ステップS4)を含む例を説明するが、トリム工程(ステップS4)を省略してもよい。例えば、プレス成形品60が、ブランキング工程(ステップS1)でプレス成形品60の形状に対応する正確なラインでブランクを切り出しても欠肉(材料不足)や余りを生じずに成形できる簡易的な形状であれば、トリム工程(ステップS4)は省略できる。よって、トリム工程(ステップS4)は、必要に応じて適用されればよい。 In this embodiment, an example including a trimming step (step S4) is described as a method of manufacturing the press-formed product 60, but the trimming step (step S4) may be omitted. For example, the press-formed product 60 can be formed without underfill (insufficient material) or surplus even if the blank is cut along an accurate line corresponding to the shape of the press-formed product 60 in the blanking step (step S1). If the shape is good, the trimming process (step S4) can be omitted. Therefore, the trim process (step S4) may be applied as required.
 また、本実施形態では、プレス成形品60の製造方法として第1立上工程(ステップS5)を含む例を説明するが、第1立上工程(ステップS5)を省略してもよい。例えば、第1立上工程(ステップS5)を省略する代わりに、トリム加工された中間成形品に、第2立上工程(ステップS6)で説明する加工を施すことで、中間成形品から1工程でワークを経てプレス成形品60を成形してもよい。よって、第1立上工程(ステップS5)は、プレス成形品60の成形難度等に基づいて必要に応じて適用されればよい。 Also, in this embodiment, an example including the first start-up process (step S5) is described as a method of manufacturing the press-formed product 60, but the first start-up process (step S5) may be omitted. For example, instead of omitting the first start-up step (step S5), the trimmed intermediate molded product is subjected to the processing described in the second start-up step (step S6), so that one step from the intermediate molded product , the press-formed product 60 may be formed through the work. Therefore, the first start-up step (step S5) may be applied as necessary based on the degree of difficulty in forming the press-formed product 60 and the like.

Thereby, the blank 10 becomes the intermediate molded product 20 . FIG. 3B is a schematic plan view of the intermediate molded product 20. FIG. The term "intermediate molded product" has the same meaning as "work", but in the present embodiment, the part to be processed in the second start-up process for molding the press-formed product 60 is referred to as "work", and the part to be processed until it becomes the work is referred to as "work".

 プレス成形装置200の金型は、水平方向としての長手方向X2に細長く、長手方向X2と直交する水平方向としての短手方向Y2に短い形状であって、長手方向X2および短手方向Y2に直交する高さ方向Z2に複数の金型が並んだ構成である。長手方向X2、短手方向Y2、および高さ方向Z2は、プレス成形装置200で中間成形品40がワーク50に成形されたときにおけるプレス成形装置200上でのワーク50の長手方向X1、短手方向Y1、および高さ方向Z1と一致している。高さ方向、上方向、下方向とはプレス方向のことである。水平方向とはプレス方向に垂直な方向である。プレス方向が鉛直方向であることが多いためこのように表現するが、本開示の水平方向は必ずしも鉛直方向に垂直な方向であることを意味しない。 The mold of the press molding apparatus 200 is elongated in a longitudinal direction X2 as a horizontal direction and short in a lateral direction Y2 as a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X2. In this configuration, a plurality of molds are arranged in the height direction Z2. The longitudinal direction X2, the lateral direction Y2, and the height direction Z2 are the longitudinal direction X1 and the lateral direction of the work 50 on the press forming device 200 when the intermediate product 40 is formed into the work 50 by the press forming device 200. It coincides with the direction Y1 and the height direction Z1. The height direction, upward direction, and downward direction are press directions. The horizontal direction is the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction. Although the press direction is often vertical, the horizontal direction in this disclosure does not necessarily mean a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
 なお、プレス成形装置200の金型は、長手方向X2に対称な形状に形成されていてもよい。そして、プレス成形装置200の金型が中間成形品40をワーク50に成形する動作も、長手方向X2に対称である。よって、プレス成形装置200におけるプレス動作については、長手方向X2の一方側での構成を主に説明し、長手方向X2の他方側の構成の詳細な説明を省略する。 The mold of the press molding device 200 may be formed in a shape symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction X2. The operation of the mold of the press molding device 200 to mold the intermediate molded product 40 into the workpiece 50 is also symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction X2. Therefore, regarding the press operation in the press forming apparatus 200, the configuration on one side in the longitudinal direction X2 will be mainly described, and the detailed description of the configuration on the other side in the longitudinal direction X2 will be omitted.
 プレス成形装置200は、第1金型210(下金型、パンチ)と、第2金型220(ダイパッド)と、第3金型230(ダイ)と、を有している。 The press molding device 200 has a first mold 210 (lower mold, punch), a second mold 220 (die pad), and a third mold 230 (die).

 パンチ凸部212のうち、凸部65A,65Bと向かい合う箇所において、短手方向Y2における一対の側面には、窪み部218A,218Bが形成されている。短手方向Y2において、窪み部218A,218B間の距離は、ベース予定部成形部215の幅より小さい。この構成により、中間成形品40がプレス成形装置200によってプレス成形される際に、凸部65A,65Bの先端は、対応する窪み部218A,218Bに入ることで、パンチ凸部212と接触せずに済む。 Recessed portions 218A and 218B are formed on a pair of side surfaces in the lateral direction Y2 of the punch convex portion 212 facing the convex portions 65A and 65B. The distance between the recessed portions 218A and 218B is smaller than the width of the pre-base portion molding portion 215 in the lateral direction Y2. With this configuration, when the intermediate molded product 40 is press-molded by the press-molding device 200, the tips of the convex portions 65A and 65B enter the corresponding recessed portions 218A and 218B so as not to contact the punch convex portion 212. Done.

 第3金型230は、短手方向Y2に並ぶ一対の分割体231A,231Bを有している。一対の分割体231A,231Bは、一対の縦壁予定部成形部232A,232Bと、一対のフランジ予定部成形部233A,233Bと、を有している。これに限らず、第3金型230は一つの金型であって、一つの金型の中に分割体231A,231Bに相当する部位があってもよい。第2金型220は分割体231A,231Bの間に配置される。第3金型230が一つの金型であれば、第2金型220は第3金型230の内部に配置される。いずれにせよ第2金型220は第3金型230の内部に配置される。 The third mold 230 has a pair of split bodies 231A and 231B aligned in the lateral direction Y2. The pair of divided bodies 231A and 231B has a pair of vertical wall portion forming portions 232A and 232B and a pair of flange portion forming portions 233A and 233B. Alternatively, the third mold 230 may be a single mold, and the single mold may include parts corresponding to the divided bodies 231A and 231B. The second mold 220 is arranged between the split bodies 231A and 231B. If the third mold 230 is one mold, the second mold 220 is arranged inside the third mold 230 . In any case, the second mold 220 is arranged inside the third mold 230 .
 一対の縦壁予定部成形部232A,232Bは、中間成形品40から一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bを成形するために設けられている。一対の縦壁予定部成形部232A,232Bは、一対の分割体231A,231Bの内側面に形成されており、高さ方向Z1に対して傾斜した面を含んでいる。一対のフランジ予定部成形部233A,233Bは、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bを成形するために設けられている。一対の縦壁予定部成形部232A,232Bは、一対の分割体231A,231Bの内側面に形成されており、高さ方向Z1に対して傾斜した面を含んでいる。 A pair of pre-planned vertical wall portions 232A and 232B are provided to form a pair of pre-planned vertical wall portions 53A and 53B from the intermediate molded product 40.

The pair of preliminarily-planned- portion forming portions 232A, 232B are formed on the inner side surfaces of the pair of divided bodies 231A, 231B and include surfaces inclined with respect to the height direction Z1.
 プレス成形装置200では、第1金型210のパンチ凸部212に中間成形品40が載せられた後、第2金型220が図示しないアクチュエータによって第1金型210側に移動される。これにより、中間成形品40は、第1金型210および第2金型220に挟まれる。次に、第3金型230が図示しないアクチュエータによって第1金型210側に所定の下死点まで移動される。これにより第3金型230の一対の分割体231A,231Bは、短手方向Y2における第2金型220の両側方を通って第1金型210側に移動する。このとき、一対の縦壁予定部成形部232A,232Bは、中間成形品40のうちパンチ凸部212から短手方向Y2に突出する部分を第1金型210側に押し下げることで、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bを成形する。また、一対のフランジ予定部成形部233A,233Bは、中間成形品40のうちパンチ凸部212から短手方向Y2に突出する部分を第1金型210側に押し下げることで、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bを成形する。また、第1金型210,第2金型220,および第3金型230が協働してベース予定部51を成形する。なお、プレス成形装置200は、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bと同様の一対のフランジ予定部56A,56Bも成形する。その結果、中間成形品40は、ワーク50となる。 In the press molding apparatus 200, after the intermediate molded product 40 is placed on the punch convex portion 212 of the first mold 210, the second mold 220 is moved toward the first mold 210 by an actuator (not shown). Thereby, the intermediate molded product 40 is sandwiched between the first mold 210 and the second mold 220 . Next, the third mold 230 is moved toward the first mold 210 to a predetermined bottom dead center by an actuator (not shown). As a result, the pair of divided bodies 231A and 231B of the third mold 230 move toward the first mold 210 through both sides of the second mold 220 in the transverse direction Y2. At this time, the pair of vertical wall preliminarily forming portions 232A and 232B push down the portion of the intermediate molded product 40 that protrudes in the lateral direction Y2 from the punch convex portion 212 toward the first mold 210, thereby forming a pair of vertical wall portions. The expected wall portions 53A and 53B are formed. Further, the pair of pre-flange portion forming portions 233A and 233B are formed by pushing down the portion of the intermediate molded product 40 that protrudes in the lateral direction Y2 from the punch convex portion 212 toward the first mold 210. 54A and 54B are molded. Also, the first mold 210 , the second mold 220 , and the third mold 230 cooperate to mold the pre-base portion 51 . The press forming apparatus 200 also forms a pair of pre-flange portions 56A and 56B similar to the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. As a result, the intermediate molded product 40 becomes the workpiece 50 .
 ワーク50においては、高さ方向Z1に対する各縦壁予定部53A,53Bおよび各フランジ予定部54A,54B,57A,57Bの角度θ2は、ワーク50の引張強度および板厚等に応じて、90度以下の範囲で適宜設定されている。なお、図7(A)、図7(B)、および、後述する図7(C)に示すワーク50は、あくまでワークの一例である。一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B間の空間は、高さ方向Z1(後述するプレス方向P)の両側に開放されている。同様に、一対のフランジ予定部56A,56B間の空間は、プレス方向Pの両側に開放されている。また、ベース予定部51は、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bに隣接するベース予定部縁部51aを含んでいる。ベース予定部縁部51aは、本実施形態では、長手方向X1からみて所定の曲率半径を有する湾曲形状に形成されている。 In the work 50, the angle θ2 of the vertical wall portions 53A, 53B and the flange portions 54A, 54B, 57A, 57B with respect to the height direction Z1 is 90 degrees depending on the tensile strength and plate thickness of the work 50. It is appropriately set within the following range. The work 50 shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and FIG. 7C, which will be described later, is merely an example of the work. The space between the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B is open on both sides in the height direction Z1 (pressing direction P described later). Similarly, the space between the pair of pre-flange portions 56A and 56B is open on both sides in the pressing direction P. As shown in FIG. Further, the planned base portion 51 includes a planned base portion edge portion 51a adjacent to the pair of planned flange portions 54A and 54B. In the present embodiment, the planned base portion edge portion 51a is formed in a curved shape having a predetermined radius of curvature when viewed from the longitudinal direction X1.
 長手方向X1から見て、ベース予定部51は、例えば、図7(A)および図7(B)に示す単一アーチ形状に形成されている。なお、ベース予定部51は、図7(C)の変形例に示すように短手方向Y1の両側にそれぞれアーチ形状を有する形状に形成されていてもよい。各上記アーチ形状は、例えばベース予定部51の表面側(上側)に凸となる形状に形成されている。図7(C)に示す形状では、短手方向Y1におけるベース予定部51の両端にそれぞれアーチ形状が形成されており、且つ、これらのアーチ形状の一端間が直線形状でつながっている。本実施形態では、長手方向X1から見て、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53B間におけるベース予定部縁部51aの長さが、長さLqである。 When viewed from the longitudinal direction X1, the planned base portion 51 is formed in, for example, a single arch shape shown in FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B). Note that the pre-base portion 51 may be formed in a shape having an arch shape on both sides in the lateral direction Y1, as shown in the modified example of FIG. 7(C). Each arch shape is formed, for example, in a shape that protrudes toward the surface side (upper side) of the planned base portion 51 . In the shape shown in FIG. 7C, arch shapes are formed at both ends of the planned base portion 51 in the lateral direction Y1, and one ends of these arch shapes are connected in a straight line. In this embodiment, the length of the planned base portion edge portion 51a between the pair of planned vertical wall portions 53A and 53B is the length Lq when viewed from the longitudinal direction X1.
 前述したように、一対の縦壁63A,63B間におけるベース部縁部の長さは、長さLpである(図2(C))。図2(C)、図7(A)および図7(C)を一例として、好ましくは、1.0<Lq/Lp<1.2である。Lq/Lpが上記の下限未満であると、ワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形したときに、ベース予定部51のベース予定部縁部51aに大きな引張荷重が生じ易い。このため、一対の縦壁63A,63Bの先端間の間隔が大きくなる壁開きが生じてしまい、プレス成形品60の寸法精度が悪化する。一方、Lq/Lpが上記の上限を超えていると、ワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形する際に、ベース予定部51が短手方向Y1に大きく伸びるように変形する。その結果、一対の縦壁63A,63Bの高さ方向Z1の先端間が過度に近づく壁閉じが生じてしまい、プレス成形品60の寸法精度が悪化し易くなる。一方、Lq/Lpを上記の範囲に設定することで、ワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形する際、線長差(Lq-Lp)が吸収されるように(ゼロとなるように)ベース予定部51が適度な変形を生じる。その結果、上記の壁開き(反り量S)を抑制でき、壁開きに起因する曲げ外側に生じる引張応力を緩和できる。反り量Sは、縦壁63Aの先端または縦壁63Bの先端が、本来の位置から短手方向Y1にどれだけ位置ずれしているかを示す値である。さらに、本実施形態では、プレス成形品60の曲げ外側に生じる引張応力と曲げ内側に生じる圧縮応力について、より圧縮応力が大きくなるようにでき、壁開きをより一層抑制できる。本発明者がコンピュータシミュレーションを行った一例では、プレス成形品60の引張強度が780MPa、板厚=2.3mmの条件下において、Lq/Lp=1.0の場合(線長差無し)と比べて、Lq/Lp=1.1の場合には、反り量S(壁開き量)が、最大で約30%低減できた。 As described above, the length of the base portion edge between the pair of vertical walls 63A and 63B is the length Lp (Fig. 2(C)). Taking FIGS. 2(C), 7(A) and 7(C) as an example, preferably 1.0<Lq/Lp<1.2. If Lq/Lp is less than the above lower limit, when the workpiece 50 is formed into the press-formed product 60, a large tensile load is likely to occur on the edge portion 51a of the planned base portion 51. As a result, a gap between the tips of the pair of vertical walls 63A and 63B is increased, and the dimensional accuracy of the press-formed product 60 is deteriorated. On the other hand, if Lq/Lp exceeds the above upper limit, when the workpiece 50 is formed into the press-formed product 60, the pre-base portion 51 is deformed so as to extend greatly in the lateral direction Y1. As a result, wall closure occurs in which the ends of the pair of vertical walls 63A and 63B in the height direction Z1 are excessively close to each other, and the dimensional accuracy of the press-formed product 60 tends to deteriorate. On the other hand, by setting Lq/Lp in the above range, when the workpiece 50 is formed into the press-formed product 60, the line length difference (Lq-Lp) is absorbed (zero). The portion 51 is moderately deformed. As a result, the wall opening (warp amount S) can be suppressed, and the tensile stress generated on the outside of the bending due to the wall opening can be alleviated. The warp amount S is a value that indicates how much the tip of the vertical wall 63A or the tip of the vertical wall 63B is displaced from its original position in the lateral direction Y1. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the tensile stress generated on the outside of the bend of the press-formed product 60 and the compressive stress generated on the inside of the bend can be made larger, and wall opening can be further suppressed. In one example of a computer simulation conducted by the present inventor, under the conditions that the tensile strength of the press-formed product 60 is 780 MPa and the plate thickness is 2.3 mm, compared with the case of Lq/Lp = 1.0 (no line length difference) In the case of Lq/Lp=1.1, the warp amount S (wall opening amount) could be reduced by about 30% at maximum.

First flange forming portions 313A and 313B are provided on a pair of end faces of the punch body 312 in the lateral direction Y2. In the present embodiment, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B receive the facing surfaces 54aA and 54aB (inner surfaces) of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B during the second rising process. In the present embodiment, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are planes along the pressing direction P and perpendicular to the lateral direction Y2. The first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are arranged on one end side (right side in FIG. 8) of the punch body 312 in the longitudinal direction X2. In the present embodiment, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B have an angular range of most (approximately 2/3 of 360 degrees) in the circumferential direction of the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B of the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. It is configured to come into contact during press molding. In addition, since the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are provided in the punch 310 which is the lower die of the press forming device 300, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are formed as a pair of flanges in the pressing direction P. It is arranged between one ends (lower ends) of the portions 54A and 54B to receive the pre-flanged portions 54A and 54B.
 パンチ本体312のうち、第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bに隣接する箇所の短手方向Y2における一対の端面には、窪み部318A,318Bが形成されている。短手方向Y2において、窪み部318A,318B間の距離(幅)は、ベース成形部315の幅より小さく、且つ、第1フランジ成形部313A,313B間の距離より小さい。パンチ本体312のうち窪み部318A,318Bが形成されている箇所が、ストッパ314となっている。 In the punch body 312, depressions 318A and 318B are formed in a pair of end faces in the lateral direction Y2 at locations adjacent to the first flange forming parts 313A and 313B. In the lateral direction Y2, the distance (width) between the recessed portions 318A and 318B is smaller than the width of the base forming portion 315 and smaller than the distance between the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B. A portion of the punch body 312 where the depressions 318A and 318B are formed serves as a stopper 314. As shown in FIG.
 プレス成形装置300におけるプレス成形時、ストッパ314は、ワーク50の凸部65A,65B間にある。ストッパ314は、凸部65A,65Bの先端を受けることにより、第2立上工程時における凸部65A,65Bの位置決め部材として機能する。より具体的には、短手方向Y2におけるストッパ314の一対の端面が、凸部65A,65Bを受ける。ストッパ314の上記一対の端面は、本実施形態では、プレス方向Pに沿った面であり、短手方向Y2と直交している。ストッパ314の上記一対の端面の下部は、凸部65A,65Bの形状に沿った円弧形状に形成されている。ストッパ314の上記一対の端面の上端部は、ダイパッド320側に開放されている。 During press molding in the press molding device 300, the stopper 314 is between the projecting portions 65A and 65B of the workpiece 50. The stopper 314 functions as a positioning member for the projections 65A and 65B during the second rising process by receiving the tips of the projections 65A and 65B. More specifically, a pair of end surfaces of the stopper 314 in the lateral direction Y2 receive the protrusions 65A and 65B. In this embodiment, the pair of end faces of the stopper 314 are faces along the pressing direction P and perpendicular to the lateral direction Y2. Lower portions of the pair of end surfaces of the stopper 314 are formed in an arc shape along the shape of the projections 65A and 65B. Upper ends of the pair of end surfaces of the stopper 314 are open to the die pad 320 side.
 ストッパ314の先端面314a(上端部)は、パンチ本体312のうちベース成形部315が形成されている上端面から下方(プレス方向Pの一方)側に配置されている。すなわち、プレス方向Pにおいて、ストッパ314の先端面314aは、ベース成形部315から奥まった箇所に配置されている。ベース成形部315からストッパ314の上端面314aまでの距離であるオフセット量OFは、例えば、0mm以上OFmax以下であることが好ましい。オフセット量OF=OFmaxであるとき、上端面314aの上端の高さ位置は、第2立上工程完了時における、パンチ310に載せられているプレス成形品60の凸部65A,65Bの上端の高さ位置に一致する。オフセット量OFが上記の上限を超えると、ダイパッド320がワーク50を押さえている状態でダイ330が第1方向P1に移動し第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bがフランジ予定部54A,54Bを後述する第2フランジ成形部324A,324B側に変位させたときに、凸部65A,65Bと第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bとが干渉するおそれがある。凸部65A,65Bと第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bとが干渉すると、ワーク50の縦壁予定部53A,53B同士を十分に閉じた状態にできなくなる。この状態で第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bでワーク50を無理に加圧すると、凸部65A,65Bの形状が歪んで変形してしまう。その結果、所望の成形品形状にプレス成形できなくなってしまう。短手方向Y2から見て、ストッパ314の先端面314aの形状は、本実施形態では、円弧形状である。先端面314aの形状は、曲率半径が一定の円弧形状であってもよいし、複数の曲率半径を有する円弧形状であってもよいし、後述する幅広部323の先端面323aの形状に合致する形状であってもよい。 A tip surface 314a (upper end) of the stopper 314 is arranged downward (one side in the pressing direction P) of the upper end surface of the punch body 312 where the base molding portion 315 is formed. That is, in the pressing direction P, the tip surface 314 a of the stopper 314 is arranged at a position recessed from the base forming portion 315 . An offset amount OF, which is the distance from the base forming portion 315 to the upper end surface 314a of the stopper 314, is preferably 0 mm or more and OFmax or less, for example. When the offset amount OF=OFmax, the height position of the upper end of the upper end surface 314a is the height of the upper ends of the convex portions 65A and 65B of the press-formed product 60 placed on the punch 310 when the second rising process is completed. match the position. When the offset amount OF exceeds the above upper limit, the die 330 moves in the first direction P1 while the die pad 320 is pressing the workpiece 50, and the third flange forming portions 333A and 333B move to the planned flange portions 54A and 54B, which will be described later. When displaced toward the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B, there is a risk that the convex portions 65A, 65B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B may interfere with each other. If the projecting portions 65A, 65B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B interfere with each other, the pre-planned vertical wall portions 53A, 53B of the workpiece 50 cannot be sufficiently closed. If the workpiece 50 is forcibly pressed by the third flange forming portions 333A and 333B in this state, the convex portions 65A and 65B are distorted and deformed. As a result, it becomes impossible to press-mold into a desired molded product shape. When viewed from the lateral direction Y2, the tip surface 314a of the stopper 314 has an arc shape in this embodiment. The shape of the tip surface 314a may be an arc shape with a constant radius of curvature, or an arc shape with a plurality of radii of curvature, and may match the shape of the tip surface 323a of the wide portion 323 described later. It may be in shape.

The base molding portion 315 is formed in a shape that follows the shape of the back surface of the base 61 . The base molding portion 315 is provided on the upper end surface of the punch body 312, and in this embodiment, is formed in a flat shape with both ends in the lateral direction Y2 curved when viewed from the longitudinal direction X2. Vertical wall molding portions 316A and 316B extend downward from both ends of the base molding portion 315 in the lateral direction Y2.
 縦壁成形部316A,316Bは、ワーク50からプレス成形品60の縦壁63A,63Bを成形するために設けられている。一対の縦壁成形部316A,316Bは、短手方向Y2におけるパンチ本体312の一対の端面に形成されており、本実施形態では、プレス方向Pと平行な面を含んでいる。 The vertical wall forming portions 316A, 316B are provided to form the vertical walls 63A, 63B of the press-formed product 60 from the work 50. A pair of vertical wall forming portions 316A and 316B are formed on a pair of end faces of the punch body 312 in the lateral direction Y2, and include surfaces parallel to the pressing direction P in this embodiment.
 ダイパッド320は、ベース61の予定部としてのベース予定部51をパンチ310と協働して挟む。ダイパッド320は、パンチ310とプレス方向Pに対向して配置される。また、ダイパッド320はダイ330の内側に配置される。本実施形態では、成形下死点PLにおいて、ダイパッド320は、ダイ330の後述する分割体331A,331Bで区画された空間に配置される。ダイパッド320は、長手方向X2に細長く延びる部材である。ダイパッド320は、図示しないアクチュエータによってプレス方向Pに移動する。ダイパッド320は、長手方向X2に細長く延びる部分であり、ダイ330の分割体331A,331Bを通過させることが可能な形状を有している。 The die pad 320 cooperates with the punch 310 to sandwich the planned base portion 51 as the planned portion of the base 61 . The die pad 320 is arranged to face the punch 310 in the pressing direction P. As shown in FIG. Also, the die pad 320 is located inside the die 330 . In the present embodiment, the die pad 320 is arranged in a space defined by divided bodies 331A and 331B of the die 330 at the molding bottom dead center PL. The die pad 320 is a member elongated in the longitudinal direction X2. The die pad 320 is moved in the press direction P by an actuator (not shown). The die pad 320 is a portion elongated in the longitudinal direction X2 and has a shape that allows the divided bodies 331A and 331B of the die 330 to pass therethrough.
 ダイパッド320は、長手方向X2に延びる軸状部321と、軸状部321に形成されベース予定部51を押さえる押さえ部322と、軸状部321に形成され押さえ部322に対して長手方向X2の一方側に配置され軸状部321の幅よりも広い幅の幅広部323と、有している。 The die pad 320 includes a shaft-shaped portion 321 extending in the longitudinal direction X2, a holding portion 322 formed on the shaft-shaped portion 321 and holding the pre-base portion 51, and a pressing portion 322 formed on the shaft-shaped portion 321 and extending in the longitudinal direction X2 with respect to the holding portion 322. A wide portion 323 arranged on one side and having a width wider than the width of the shaft-like portion 321 is provided.
 押さえ部322は、ダイパッド320のうち、ベース成形部315とプレス方向Pに対向する箇所に配置されており、本実施形態では、押さえ部322の下端面に形成されており、長手方向X2に細長い面である。 The pressing portion 322 is arranged at a portion of the die pad 320 facing the base molding portion 315 in the pressing direction P. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 322 is formed on the lower end surface of the pressing portion 322 and is elongated in the longitudinal direction X2. It is the surface.
 幅広部323は、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bをこれら一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの対向面54aA,54aB間で受けるための中子として設けられており、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B間のうちプレス方向Pにおけるダイパッド320側(上側)に配置されている。なお、幅広部323は、本実施形態では、ダイパッド320の一部分として設けられているが、この通りで無くてもよい。幅広部323は、例えば、ダイパッド320とは別部材によって構成されダイパッド320とは独立してプレス方向Pに移動可能とされてもよい。その場合であっても幅広部320はダイの内側にあるパッドであるため、ダイパッド320の一部とみなす。 The wide portion 323 is provided as a core for receiving the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B between the facing surfaces 54aA and 54aB of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. It is arranged on the die pad 320 side (upper side) in the pressing direction P in the middle. Although the wide portion 323 is provided as a part of the die pad 320 in this embodiment, it may not be so. For example, the wide portion 323 may be configured by a member separate from the die pad 320 and movable in the pressing direction P independently of the die pad 320 . Even in that case, the wide portion 320 is considered part of the die pad 320 because it is a pad inside the die.
 幅広部323は、軸状部321のうち、パンチ310のストッパ314とプレス方向Pに対向しており、軸状部321から下方に突出している。幅広部323における、短手方向Y2の一対の端面は、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bを含んでいる。プレス成形時、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの対向面54aA,54aB(内側面)を受ける。第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、本実施形態では、プレス方向Pと平行な平面であり、短手方向Y2と直交している。本実施形態では、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、各フランジ予定部54A,54Bのうちフランジ予定部54A,54Bの円周方向の一部分(360度の1/3程度)の角度範囲とプレス成形時に接触するように構成されている。第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、フランジ64A,64Bの対向面64aA,64aBの形状に沿った形状に形成されている。 The wide portion 323 of the shaft portion 321 faces the stopper 314 of the punch 310 in the pressing direction P and protrudes downward from the shaft portion 321 .

In this embodiment, the width W32 is larger than the width W31 of the shaft-like portion 321. As shown in FIG. This suppresses mutual interference between the die pad 320 and the die 330 .
 成形下死点PLにおいて、幅広部323は、空間S3に配置されている。空間S3は、短手方向Y2から見てパンチ310におけるストッパ314の先端面314aとパンチ本体312の先端面312a(ベース成形部315)との間の空間である。これにより、幅広部323は、プレス方向Pにおける一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの他端間(上端間)に配置される。第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,313B,324A,324Bは、プレス成形装置300が一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bを互いに近づけて一対のフランジ64A,64Bとする際に、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの互いの対向面54aA,54aBを受けるように配置される。 At the molding bottom dead center PL, the wide portion 323 is arranged in the space S3. The space S3 is a space between the tip surface 314a of the stopper 314 in the punch 310 and the tip surface 312a (the base molding portion 315) of the punch body 312 when viewed from the lateral direction Y2. Thereby, the wide portion 323 is arranged between the other ends (between the upper ends) of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B in the pressing direction P. As shown in FIG. The first and second flange forming portions 313A, 313B, 324A, and 324B form a pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B when the press forming device 300 brings the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B closer to each other to form a pair of flanges 64A and 64B. It is arranged to receive the opposing surfaces 54aA and 54aB of 54A and 54B.
 より詳細には、成形下死点PLにおいて、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、プレス方向Pにおけるベース予定部51寄りの箇所(上側)に配置されており、第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bは、ベース予定部51とは反対側(下側)に配置されている。成形下死点PLにおいて、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bが形成されている幅広部323は、ストッパ314と接触してもよいし、離隔していてもよい。長手方向X2において、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bの長さは、ストッパ314の長さ以下であればよい。第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,324Aは、同一平面上に並んでいることが、フランジ64Aをより平坦にできる点で好ましい。同様に、第1および第2フランジ成形部313B,324Bは、同一平面上に並んでいることが、フランジ64Bをより平坦にできる点で好ましい。第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,313B,324A,324Bと、フランジ予定部54A,54Bの対向面54aA,54aBとが向かい合う面積が大きいほど、フランジ予定部54A,54Bがプレス成形装置300でプレス成形されてフランジ64A,64Bが成形されたときの、フランジ64A,64Bの寸法精度をより高くできる。 More specifically, at the forming bottom dead center PL, the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B are arranged near the base portion 51 (upper side) in the pressing direction P, and the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are arranged. is disposed on the opposite side (lower side) of the planned base portion 51 . At the forming bottom dead center PL, the wide portion 323 formed with the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B may be in contact with or separated from the stopper 314 . The length of the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B in the longitudinal direction X2 may be the length of the stopper 314 or less. It is preferable that the first and second flange forming portions 313A and 324A are arranged on the same plane in order to make the flange 64A flatter. Similarly, it is preferable that the first and second flange forming portions 313B and 324B are arranged on the same plane in order to make the flange 64B flatter. The larger the facing area between the first and second flange forming portions 313A, 313B, 324A, 324B and the facing surfaces 54aA, 54aB of the pre-flange portions 54A, 54B, the more the pre-flange portions 54A, 54B are pressed by the press forming device 300. The dimensional accuracy of the flanges 64A, 64B when molded to form the flanges 64A, 64B can be increased.
 図9に示すように、短手方向Y2から見て、すなわち、長手方向X2と高さ方向Z2に沿った縦断面において、幅広部323の先端面323aは、弧形状に形成されている。本実施形態では、幅広部323は、円弧形状に形成されている。成形下死点PLにおいて、短手方向Y2から見て、幅広部323の先端面323aの曲率中心は、ストッパ314の先端面314aの曲率中心に略一致している。なお、短手方向Y2から見て、先端面323aは、楕円弧形状に形成されていてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 9, when viewed from the lateral direction Y2, that is, in a vertical cross section along the longitudinal direction X2 and the height direction Z2, the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 is formed in an arc shape. In this embodiment, the wide portion 323 is formed in an arc shape. At the molding bottom dead center PL, the center of curvature of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 substantially coincides with the center of curvature of the distal end surface 314a of the stopper 314 when viewed from the lateral direction Y2. Note that the distal end surface 323a may be formed in an elliptical arc shape when viewed from the lateral direction Y2.
 なお、上述の説明では、短手方向Y2から見た幅広部323の形状が弧形状である形態を例に説明した。しかしながら、この通りでなくてもよい。例えば、図10(A)~図10(C)に示す、幅広部323の変形例1~3のように、幅広部323の先端面323aの縦断面形状が、くさび形状等に形成されていてもよい。図10(A)の変形例1では、幅広部323の先端面323aの縦断面形状が、長手方向X2に沿ってベース成形部315から遠ざかるに従いプレス方向Pのうちの上側(第2方向P2側)に進む傾斜形状に形成されている。また、図10(B)の変形例2では、幅広部323の先端面323aの縦断面形状が、長手方向X2と平行である。図10(C)の変形例3では、幅広部323の先端面323aの縦断面形状が、長手方向X2に沿ってベース成形部315から遠ざかるに従いプレス方向Pのうちの下側(第1方向P1側)に進む傾斜形状に形成されている。 In addition, in the above description, the form in which the shape of the wide portion 323 as viewed from the lateral direction Y2 is arc-shaped has been described as an example. However, this need not be the case. For example, as in modified examples 1 to 3 of the wide portion 323 shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 is formed in a wedge shape or the like. good too. In Modified Example 1 of FIG. 10(A), the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 changes upward in the pressing direction P (second direction P2 side) as the distance from the base forming portion 315 increases along the longitudinal direction X2. ) is formed in an inclined shape. Further, in Modified Example 2 of FIG. 10B, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 is parallel to the longitudinal direction X2. In Modified Example 3 of FIG. 10(C), the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 changes downward in the pressing direction P (first direction P1) as the distance from the base forming portion 315 increases along the longitudinal direction X2 side).
 上述したように、幅広部323の先端面323aの縦断面形状が弧形状またはくさび形状等に形成されていることで、幅広部323を一対のフランジ64A,64B間の隙間に対してスムーズに出し入れできる。 As described above, since the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the distal end surface 323a of the wide portion 323 is formed in an arc shape or a wedge shape, etc., the wide portion 323 can be smoothly moved in and out of the gap between the pair of flanges 64A and 64B. can.
 図12に示すように、成形下死点PLにおいて、ダイパッド320とパンチ310のプレス方向Pに沿った面が、第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,324Aと、第1および第2フランジ成形部313B,324Bである。成形下死点PLにおいて、第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,324Aと、第1および第2フランジ成形部313B,324Bは、何れも、ダイ330と短手方向Y2に向かい合っている。そして、成形下死点PLにおいて、第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,324Aに穴400Aがあり、第1および第2フランジ成形部313B,324Bに穴400Bがある。これらの穴400A,400Bの縁部400aA,400aBは、ダイパッド320とパンチ310とによって構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 12, at the forming bottom dead center PL, the surfaces of the die pad 320 and the punch 310 along the pressing direction P are formed into first and second flange forming portions 313A and 324A and first and second flange forming portions. 313B and 324B. At the forming bottom dead center PL, the first and second flange forming portions 313A and 324A and the first and second flange forming portions 313B and 324B both face the die 330 in the transverse direction Y2. At the forming bottom dead center PL, holes 400A are formed in the first and second flange forming portions 313A and 324A, and holes 400B are formed in the first and second flange forming portions 313B and 324B. Edges 400aA and 400aB of these holes 400A and 400B are formed by die pad 320 and punch 310. As shown in FIG.
 穴400A,400Bは、窪み部318A,318Bが配置されている箇所にある。穴400A,400Bの縁部400aA,400aBは、本実施形態では、ダイパッド320とパンチ310との隙間401以外の箇所に存在している。すなわち、ダイパッド320とパンチ310との隙間401が狭いほど、穴400A,400Bの周方向における縁部400aA,400aBの存在範囲が広くなる。本実施形態では、各縁部400aA,400aBは、穴400A,400Bの円周方向のほぼ全域に存在している。縁部400aAは、第1および第2フランジ成形部313A,324Aに連続しており、縁部400aBは、第1および第2フランジ成形部313B,324Bに連続している。 The holes 400A, 400B are located where the depressions 318A, 318B are arranged. Edges 400aA and 400aB of holes 400A and 400B are present at locations other than gap 401 between die pad 320 and punch 310 in this embodiment. That is, the narrower the gap 401 between the die pad 320 and the punch 310, the wider the existence range of the edges 400aA and 400aB in the circumferential direction of the holes 400A and 400B. In this embodiment, the edges 400aA and 400aB are present over substantially the entire circumference of the holes 400A and 400B. The edge portion 400aA is continuous with the first and second flange forming portions 313A, 324A, and the edge portion 400aB is continuous with the first and second flange forming portions 313B, 324B.
 図12に示す通り、第1方向P1における幅広部323の先端縁部のうち一対のフランジ64A,64Bが向かい合う短手方向Y2における両端部323b,323cは、湾曲形状を有している。本実施形態では、短手方向Y2における幅広部323の両端部323b,323c間の長さをtとした場合に、両端部323b,323cのそれぞれの曲率半径rは、r<t/2に設定されている。このような湾曲形状部が形成されていることで、幅広部323とフランジ予定部54A,54B(フランジ64A,64B)とを滑らかに接触させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 12, both end portions 323b and 323c in the lateral direction Y2 where the pair of flanges 64A and 64B face each other among the tip edge portions of the wide portion 323 in the first direction P1 have a curved shape. In this embodiment, when the length between both ends 323b and 323c of the wide portion 323 in the lateral direction Y2 is t, the radius of curvature r of each of the ends 323b and 323c is set to r<t/2. It is By forming such curved portions, the wide portion 323 and the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B ( flanges 64A and 64B) can be brought into smooth contact.
 なお、両端部323b,323cは、図13に示すように、湾曲形状に代えて面取形状を有していてもよい。図13は、幅広部323の両端部323b,323cの変形例を示す図である。この場合、面取部の長さCは、C<t√2/2である。このような面取形状部が形成されていることで、幅広部323とフランジ予定部54A,54B(フランジ64A,64B)とを滑らかに接触させることができる。 Note that both ends 323b and 323c may have chamfered shapes instead of curved shapes, as shown in FIG. 13A and 13B are views showing modifications of both end portions 323b and 323c of the wide portion 323. FIG. In this case, the length C of the chamfer is C<t√2/2. By forming such a chamfered portion, the wide portion 323 and the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B ( flanges 64A and 64B) can be smoothly brought into contact with each other.
 図8~図12に示すように、ダイ330は、パンチ310およびダイパッド320がワーク50を挟んだ状態で、パンチ310側(プレス方向Pの第1方向P1側)に移動することで、ワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形する。 As shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, the die 330 moves toward the punch 310 (first direction P1 side of the pressing direction P) while the work 50 is sandwiched between the punch 310 and the die pad 320. is molded into a press-molded product 60.
 ダイ330は、短手方向Y2に並ぶ一対の分割体331A,331Bを有している。これに限らず、ダイ330は一つの金型であって、一つの金型の中に分割体331A,331Bに相当する部位があってもよい。ダイパッド320は分割体331A,331Bの間に配置される。ダイ330が一つの金型であれば、ダイパッド320はダイ330の内部に配置される。いずれにせよダイパッド320はダイ330の内部に配置される。一対の分割体331A,331Bは、長手方向X2に細長い形状に形成されている。一対の分割体331A,331Bは、図示しないアクチュエータによってプレス方向Pに一体的に移動可能に構成されている。一対の分割体331A,331Bは、ダイパッド320とは独立してプレス方向Pに移動可能であり、ダイパッド320を短手方向Y2に挟むように配置されている。 The die 330 has a pair of split bodies 331A and 331B aligned in the lateral direction Y2. The die 330 is not limited to this, and the die 330 may be one mold, and the parts corresponding to the divided bodies 331A and 331B may be included in one mold. Die pad 320 is arranged between divisions 331A and 331B. If the die 330 is a mold, the die pad 320 is placed inside the die 330 . In any event, die pad 320 is located inside die 330 . A pair of divided bodies 331A and 331B are formed in an elongated shape in the longitudinal direction X2. The pair of divided bodies 331A and 331B are configured to be integrally movable in the pressing direction P by an actuator (not shown). The pair of divided bodies 331A and 331B are movable in the press direction P independently of the die pad 320, and are arranged so as to sandwich the die pad 320 in the transverse direction Y2.
 一対の分割体331A,331Bは、一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bと、一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bと、を有している。 The pair of divided bodies 331A, 331B has a pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A, 332B and a pair of third flange forming portions 333A, 333B.
 一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bは、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bを一対の縦壁63A,63Bに成形するために設けられている。一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bは、一対の分割体331A,331Bの内側面に形成されている。本実施形態では、一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bの上部は、プレス方向Pと平行に延びており、短手方向Y2と直交している。一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bと長手方向X2に並ぶようにして一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bが配置されている。 The pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A, 332B are provided to form the pair of vertical wall presumed portions 53A, 53B into the pair of vertical walls 63A, 63B. The pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A, 332B are formed on the inner side surfaces of the pair of divided bodies 331A, 331B. In this embodiment, the upper portions of the pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A and 332B extend parallel to the pressing direction P and are orthogonal to the lateral direction Y2. A pair of third flange forming portions 333A, 333B are arranged so as to be aligned with the pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A, 332B in the longitudinal direction X2.
 一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bは、一対の第1フランジ成形部313A,313B、および一対の第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bと協働して一対のフランジ64A,64Bを成形する。一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bは、一対の分割体331A,331Bの内側面に形成されている。一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bは、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bのうち対向面54aA,54aBとは反対側の面である外側面54bA,54bBを受ける。一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bのうち、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBを除く部分としての上部333bA,333bBは、プレス方向Pと平行に延びている。長手方向X2から見て、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBは、湾曲形状に形成されており、本実施形態では、円弧形状に形成されている。成形下死点PLにおいて、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBは、パンチ310の第1フランジ成形部313A,313B側に向けて凸となる湾曲形状である。本実施形態では、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBは、90度の角度範囲に亘って形成されており、一対の分割体331A,331Bの下端面に連続している。この下端面は、本実施形態では、水平面である。 A pair of third flange forming portions 333A, 333B cooperate with a pair of first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and a pair of second flange forming portions 324A, 324B to form a pair of flanges 64A, 64B. The pair of third flange forming portions 333A, 333B are formed on the inner side surfaces of the pair of split bodies 331A, 331B. The pair of third flange forming portions 333A and 333B receive outer side surfaces 54bA and 54bB of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B opposite to the facing surfaces 54aA and 54aB. Upper portions 333bA and 333bB of the pair of third flange forming portions 333A and 333B, excluding the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB, extend parallel to the pressing direction P. As shown in FIG. When viewed from the longitudinal direction X2, the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB are formed in a curved shape, and are formed in an arc shape in this embodiment. At the forming bottom dead center PL, the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB have a curved shape that protrudes toward the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B of the punch 310 . In this embodiment, the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB are formed over an angular range of 90 degrees and are continuous with the lower end surfaces of the pair of divided bodies 331A and 331B. This lower end surface is a horizontal surface in this embodiment.
 長手方向X2から見て、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBの曲率半径が曲率半径Rである。また、成形下死点PLにおいて、各フランジ成形部313A,333A;313B,333Bが設けられている箇所でのパンチ310とダイ330の互いの対向領域についてプレス方向Pの長さが、長さh1である。また、プレス方向Pにおける一対のフランジ64A,64Bの高さが、高さh2である。なお、ワーク50の板厚は、プレス成形装置300におけるプレス方向Pのプレス動作量(ストローク)と比べて小さい。よって、高さh1の上端始点と高さh2の上端始点とは、実質的に同一の位置となる。本実施形態では、曲率半径Rは、10mm≦R≦(h1-h2)mm(但しh1-h2は10mm以上)に設定されている。 The curvature radius R of the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB is the curvature radius R when viewed from the longitudinal direction X2. Further, at the forming bottom dead center PL, the length of the pressing direction P of the opposing regions of the punch 310 and the die 330 at the locations where the respective flange forming portions 313A, 333A; 313B, 333B are provided is the length h1 is. Also, the height of the pair of flanges 64A and 64B in the pressing direction P is height h2. The thickness of the workpiece 50 is smaller than the amount of press movement (stroke) in the press direction P in the press forming device 300 . Therefore, the starting point of the upper end of the height h1 and the starting point of the upper end of the height h2 are substantially at the same position. In this embodiment, the curvature radius R is set to 10 mm≦R≦(h1−h2) mm (where h1−h2 is 10 mm or more).
 このように、第1方向側端部333aA,333aBの曲率半径Rを上記の下限以上とすることで、曲率半径Rを十分に大きな値にできる。その結果、フランジ予定部54A,54Bをプレス成形装置300で曲げ成形することでフランジ64A,64Bに成形する際に、ダイ330を成形下死点PLから成形上死点PUに戻すときに生じる、フランジ64A,64Bの曲げ戻し変形(曲げ-曲げ戻し作用)に起因する、縦壁63A,63Bに生じるモーメント力(反りの要因)をより小さな値にできる。これにより、縦壁63A,63Bおよびフランジ64A,64Bの反り変形(フランジ64A,64Bが第1方向P1に進むに従い外側面64bA,64bB側に沿った変形)を抑制でき、一対の縦壁63A,63Bのそれぞれの先端の反り量S(壁開き量)を格段に小さくできる。反り量Sは、縦壁63Aの先端または縦壁63Bの先端が、本来の位置から短手方向Y1にどれだけ位置ずれしているかを示す値である。なお、本実施形態では、長手方向X2から見て、一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bの第1方向側端部は、第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bの第1方向側端部333aA,333aBと同じ形状に形成されている。 Thus, by setting the radius of curvature R of the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB to the above lower limit or more, the radius of curvature R can be set to a sufficiently large value. As a result, when forming the flanges 64A and 64B by bending the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B with the press forming device 300, the die 330 is returned from the forming bottom dead center PL to the forming top dead center PU. A moment force (cause of warpage) generated in the vertical walls 63A, 63B due to bending-back deformation (bending-bending-back action) of the flanges 64A, 64B can be reduced to a smaller value. As a result, warp deformation of the vertical walls 63A, 63B and the flanges 64A, 64B (deformation along the outer side surfaces 64bA, 64bB as the flanges 64A, 64B advance in the first direction P1) can be suppressed, and the pair of vertical walls 63A, The warp amount S (wall opening amount) of each tip of 63B can be remarkably reduced. The warp amount S is a value that indicates how much the tip of the vertical wall 63A or the tip of the vertical wall 63B is displaced from its original position in the lateral direction Y1. In the present embodiment, when viewed from the longitudinal direction X2, the first direction side end portions of the pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A and 332B correspond to the first direction side end portions 333aA and 333aB of the third flange forming portions 333A and 333B. formed in the same shape as
 次に、プレス成形装置300でのプレス作業を説明する。プレス成形装置300では、図11に示すように、パンチ310のパンチ本体312にワーク50が載せられた後、パッドとしてのダイパッド320が図示しないアクチュエータによって、ダイ330に先行してパンチ310側(第1方向P1)に移動される。これにより、ワーク50がパンチ310およびダイパッド320に挟まれ、ダイパッド320は、ワーク50の位置ずれを抑制する。このとき、ダイパッド320の幅広部323は、第2立上工程に先行してワーク50の一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B間に入る。すなわち、第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bおよび第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、第2立上工程に先行してワーク50の一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B間に入る。 Next, the press work in the press molding device 300 will be explained. In the press forming apparatus 300, as shown in FIG. 11, after the workpiece 50 is placed on the punch body 312 of the punch 310, the die pad 320 as a pad is driven by an actuator (not shown) to the punch 310 side (second die) ahead of the die 330. It is moved in one direction P1). As a result, the work 50 is sandwiched between the punch 310 and the die pad 320 , and the die pad 320 suppresses positional deviation of the work 50 . At this time, the wide portion 323 of the die pad 320 enters between the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B of the workpiece 50 prior to the second rising step. That is, the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B enter between the pair of pre-flange portions 54A, 54B of the workpiece 50 prior to the second rising step.
 次に、図12に示すように、ダイ330が図示しないアクチュエータによってパンチ310側(第1方向P1)に所定の成形下死点PLまで移動されることで、パンチ310とダイ330とがプレス方向Pに接近する。このとき、一対の縦壁成形部332A,332Bは、ワーク50の縦壁予定部53A,53Bをパンチ310の縦壁成形部316A,316Bに押し当てることで、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bを互いに近づける。これにより、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bは一対の縦壁63A,63Bに成形される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the die 330 is moved toward the punch 310 (in the first direction P1) to a predetermined forming bottom dead center PL by an actuator (not shown), thereby moving the punch 310 and the die 330 in the pressing direction. approach P. At this time, the pair of vertical wall forming portions 332A and 332B are formed by pressing the planned vertical wall portions 53A and 53B of the workpiece 50 against the vertical wall forming portions 316A and 316B of the punch 310, thereby forming the pair of planned vertical wall portions 53A and 53B. bring closer to each other. As a result, the pair of vertical wall pre-determined portions 53A, 53B are molded into the pair of vertical walls 63A, 63B.
 また、ダイ330の一対の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bは、ワーク50のフランジ予定部54A,54Bをパンチ310の第1フランジ成形部313A,313B、およびダイパッド320の第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bに押し当てる。これにより、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bは、互いに近づけられて一対のフランジ64A,64Bに成形される。成形下死点PLにおいて、ワーク50のフランジ予定部64A,64Bのうちパンチ310側の対向面64aA,64aBに形成された凸部65A,65Bは、穴400A,400Bの中にある。 Further, the pair of third flange forming portions 333A, 333B of the die 330 press the flange-provisioning portions 54A, 54B of the workpiece 50 into the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B of the punch 310 and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324A of the die pad 320, 324B. As a result, the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B are brought closer to each other and formed into the pair of flanges 64A and 64B. At the forming bottom dead center PL, the projections 65A, 65B formed on the facing surfaces 64aA, 64aB of the pre-flange portions 64A, 64B of the work 50 on the punch 310 side are inside the holes 400A, 400B.
 成形下死点PLにおいて、穴400A,400Bの中にある凸部65A,65Bの周囲のワーク50(フランジ予定部64A,64B)は、ダイパッド320とパンチ310のプレス方向Pに沿った面(第1フランジ成形部313A,313B、および第2フランジ成形部324A,324B)と、ダイ330の第3フランジ成形部333A,333Bと、に挟まれる。また、穴400A,400Bの中にある凸部65A,65Bとダイパッド320の間にはワーク50が無い。換言すれば、穴400A,400Bの中にある凸部65A,65Bの側面とダイパッド320は、直接向かい合っている。すなわち、凸部65A,65Bとダイパッド320の間には何もない。 At the molding bottom dead center PL, the workpiece 50 ( pre-flange portions 64A, 64B) around the projections 65A, 65B in the holes 400A, 400B is formed on the surface of the die pad 320 and the punch 310 along the pressing direction P (second 1 flange forming parts 313A, 313B and second flange forming parts 324A, 324B) and the third flange forming parts 333A, 333B of the die 330. Moreover, there is no workpiece 50 between the die pad 320 and the projections 65A, 65B in the holes 400A, 400B. In other words, the sides of the projections 65A, 65B in the holes 400A, 400B and the die pad 320 directly face each other. That is, there is nothing between the protrusions 65A and 65B and the die pad 320. FIG.
 また、パンチ310,ダイパッド320,およびダイ330が協働してベース予定部51をベース61に成形する。 Also, the punch 310 , the die pad 320 , and the die 330 work together to form the pre-base portion 51 on the base 61 .
 上述の説明から明らかなように、この第2立上工程では、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの間にプレス成形装置300におけるプレス方向Pの一方側から第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bを配置するとともにプレス方向Pの他方側から第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bを配置する。この状態で、プレス成形装置300のダイ330をプレス方向Pに沿ってパンチ310側に相対移動させる。これにより、一対の縦壁予定部53A,53Bを互いに近づけて一対の縦壁64A,64Bに成形し、且つ一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bを互いに近づけて一対のフランジ64A,64Bに成形する。 As is clear from the above description, in the second rising step, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are arranged from one side in the pressing direction P in the press forming apparatus 300 between the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. At the same time, the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B are arranged from the other side in the pressing direction P. In this state, the die 330 of the press forming device 300 is relatively moved along the pressing direction P toward the punch 310 side. As a result, the pair of planned vertical wall portions 53A and 53B are brought closer together to form a pair of vertical walls 64A and 64B, and the pair of planned flange portions 54A and 54B are brought closer together and formed into a pair of flanges 64A and 64B.
 なお、プレス成形装置300の金型は、長手方向X1に対称な形状に形成されている。これにより、一対のフランジ64A,64Bと同様にして一対のフランジ66A,66Bが成形される。その結果、ワーク50は、プレス成形品60となる。 The mold of the press molding device 300 is formed in a shape symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction X1. Thereby, a pair of flanges 66A, 66B are formed in the same manner as the pair of flanges 64A, 64B. As a result, the workpiece 50 becomes a press-formed product 60 .
 ワーク50がプレス成形品60となった後、ダイパッド320およびダイ330は、パンチ310に対して例えば同時に第2方向P2に移動することで成形上死点PUに戻る。その後、プレス成形品60は、パンチ310とダイパッド320とダイ330の何れとも干渉しない状態でパンチ310から取り出される。 After the workpiece 50 becomes the press-formed product 60, the die pad 320 and the die 330 are returned to the forming top dead center PU by simultaneously moving in the second direction P2 with respect to the punch 310, for example. After that, the press-formed product 60 is removed from the punch 310 without interfering with any of the punch 310 , the die pad 320 and the die 330 .
 以上説明したように、パンチ310とダイパッド320の間における空間をダイパッド320の幅広部323により補完しながらワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形することで、形状のずれ、ゆがみを矯正しながら、凸部65A,65Bを含めた縦壁成形を実現できる。しかも、凸部65A,65Bを成形した後にフランジ64A,64Bを成形する工程を実現できる。よって、例えば既存制約内での工程において、対向配置された凸部65A,65Bを有するサスペンションアーム部品の成形を実現できる。また、凸部65A,65Bを対向配置することで、プレス成形品60と車体との締結を担うカラー部品を統合省略する一体構造のサスペンションアームを実現できる。 As described above, by forming the workpiece 50 into the press-formed product 60 while filling the space between the punch 310 and the die pad 320 with the wide portion 323 of the die pad 320, the deviation and distortion of the shape are corrected, and the convex shape is formed. Vertical wall molding including the portions 65A and 65B can be realized. Moreover, the step of forming the flanges 64A and 64B after forming the convex portions 65A and 65B can be realized. Therefore, for example, in a process within the existing restrictions, it is possible to realize molding of a suspension arm component having convex portions 65A and 65B arranged opposite to each other. Further, by arranging the protrusions 65A and 65B to face each other, it is possible to realize a suspension arm having an integral structure in which the collar parts for fastening the press-molded product 60 and the vehicle body are integrated and omitted.
 なお、本発明の解決課題の一つである、フランジ64A,64Bの形状ゆがみ抑制のためには、上記パンチ310とダイパッド320の構造が想到される前の従来技術下において、フランジ予定部54A,54B間の空洞箇所を何らかの金型構造の工夫で埋める必要があった。このため、本願発明者は、当初は、プレス成形装置300に相当するプレス成形装置でのパンチの形状を工夫し、長手方向と直交する断面形状を凸型(第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bおよびストッパ314を含む形状)からI型(第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bの上端に第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bに相当する形状を追加した形状)に変更することを検討した。しかしながら、プレス成形品の量産工程まで踏まえると、成形完了後にプレス成形品をプレス成形装置から持ち上げて取り出すことが必要である。このため、上記I型断面では凸部とパンチとの干渉が避けられず、パンチからのプレス成形品の取り出し作業が不可能であった。更なる検討の結果、上型パッドとしてのダイパッド320に突起部、すなわち幅広部323を設ける方案とすることで、成形終了後における、パンチ310からダイパッド320とダイ330を隔離させるタイミングで凸部とパンチとの干渉を回避することができ、フランジの形状のゆがみを抑制する課題を量産工程で解決することができた。 In addition, in order to suppress the shape distortion of the flanges 64A and 64B, which is one of the problems to be solved by the present invention, the planned flange portions 54A, It was necessary to fill the void between 54B by some kind of contrivance of the mold structure. For this reason, the inventor of the present application initially devised the shape of the punch in the press forming device corresponding to the press forming device 300, and made the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction convex (first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and (shape including stopper 314) to I-shape (shape in which shapes corresponding to second flange formed portions 324A and 324B are added to the upper ends of first flange formed portions 313A and 313B). However, considering the mass production process of press-formed products, it is necessary to lift and take out the press-formed products from the press-forming apparatus after the completion of the forming. For this reason, in the I-shaped cross section, interference between the convex portion and the punch was unavoidable, making it impossible to take out the press-formed product from the punch. As a result of further investigation, it was found that the die pad 320 as the upper mold pad is provided with a projection, that is, a wide width portion 323, so that the projection and the die pad 320 and the die 330 are separated from the punch 310 after the molding is completed. Interference with the punch can be avoided, and the problem of suppressing distortion of the shape of the flange can be solved in the mass production process.
 以上説明したように、本実施形態によると、プレス成形装置300によってワーク50からプレス成形品60をプレス成形する時に、パンチ310とダイパッド320は、凸部65A,65Bを避けつつ、プレス方向Pにおける凸部65A,65Bの両側からフランジ予定部54A,54Bを受け止めることができる。よって、凸部65A,65Bとパンチ310およびダイパッド320との干渉を防止でき、且つ、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B(フランジ64A,64B)にゆがみが生じることを抑制できる。すなわち、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54B間においてプレス方向Pの両側から第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bと第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bが配置されることで、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bが一対のフランジ64A,64Bに成形される際のフランジ64A,64Bの形状のゆがみを抑制できる。よって、フランジ64A,64Bの不要な変形を抑制でき、寸法精度の高いプレス成形品60を製造できる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the press forming device 300 press-forms the press-formed product 60 from the workpiece 50, the punch 310 and the die pad 320 move in the press direction P while avoiding the convex portions 65A and 65B. The pre-flange portions 54A and 54B can be received from both sides of the convex portions 65A and 65B. Therefore, the protrusions 65A, 65B can be prevented from interfering with the punch 310 and the die pad 320, and the pair of pre-flange portions 54A, 54B ( flanges 64A, 64B) can be prevented from being distorted. That is, by arranging the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B from both sides in the pressing direction P between the pair of pre-flange portions 54A, 54B, the pair of pre-flange portions 54A, 54B are arranged. It is possible to suppress distortion of the shape of the flanges 64A, 64B when forming the pair of flanges 64A, 64B. Therefore, unnecessary deformation of the flanges 64A and 64B can be suppressed, and the press-formed product 60 with high dimensional accuracy can be manufactured.
 しかも、本実施形態では、バーリング成形工程で凸部65A,65Bを成形した後に立上工程(第1立上工程および第2立上工程)を行う。第2立上工程では、プレス成形装置300のパンチ310、ダイパッド320、およびダイ300が一直線方向であるプレス方向Pにのみ相対移動することで、ワーク50のフランジ予定部54A,54B間への第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bおよび第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bの挿入と、フランジ予定部54A,54B間からの第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bおよび第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bの取り出しを行える。このように、パンチ310、ダイパッド320、およびダイ300の簡素な動作による簡素な工法で、ワーク50をプレス成形品60に成形できる。その結果、立上工程の後に多くの追加工程を必要とするバーリング加工を行わなくて済む。このため、一対のフランジ64A,64B間の狭い空間にバーリング成形用のパンチおよびダイを配置して一対のフランジにバーリング成形を施す必要がない。よって、バーリング金型のパンチとダイを多方向に動作させる構成が不要となるため、バーリング成形工程を1工程もしくは最小限の複数工程(ステップS3)で済ますことができる。その結果、制約のある既存設備を用いる場合であっても、バーリング成形加工を行うことが、簡素な工法で大幅な工程追加、つまりはコスト上昇を招かずに可能となる。 Moreover, in this embodiment, the rising process (the first rising process and the second rising process) is performed after the projections 65A and 65B are formed in the burring forming process. In the second start-up process, the punch 310, the die pad 320, and the die 300 of the press forming device 300 relatively move only in the pressing direction P, which is a straight line direction, so that the work 50 is moved between the pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. It is possible to insert the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B, and to take out the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B from between the pre-flange portions 54A, 54B. . In this manner, the workpiece 50 can be formed into the press-formed product 60 by a simple construction method using simple operations of the punch 310 , the die pad 320 and the die 300 . As a result, there is no need to perform burring that requires many additional steps after the rising step. Therefore, it is not necessary to place a punch and die for burring forming in the narrow space between the pair of flanges 64A and 64B to perform burring forming on the pair of flanges. Therefore, since the punch and die of the burring mold do not need to be configured to move in multiple directions, the burring process can be completed with one process or a minimum of multiple processes (step S3). As a result, even when existing facilities with restrictions are used, it is possible to carry out the burring process with a simple construction method without adding a large amount of processes, that is, without incurring an increase in cost.
 なお、本願発明者は、プレス成形装置300を用いた第2立上工程において、第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bと第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bとを設けることで一対のフランジ64A,64Bにおけるゆがみ発生を抑制できる効果について、コンピュータシミュレーションを行った。具体的には、本実施形態のプレス成形装置300を用いて第2立上工程が行われた構成を実施例とし、幅広部323(第2フランジ成形部324A,324B)が設けられていない点以外は実施例と同じ構成を比較例とした。そして、プレス成形品60の引張強度が780MPa、板厚=2.3mmの条件下において、実施例での製品であるプレス成形品60と、比較例での製品であるプレス成形品とについて、フランジ64A,64Bにゆがみがどのように生じたかを比較した。より具体的には、フランジ64A,64Bにおいて、高さ方向Z1におけるベース61側の一端部641A,641B(図1)が、対応する他端部642A,642Bに対して短手方向Y1の内側にどれだけ位置ずれしているかを測定した。比較例では、一端部641Aが他端部642Aに対して約1.26mm位置ずれしており、また、一端部641Bが他端部642Bに対して約1.26mm位置ずれしていた。一方、実施例では、このような位置ずれは生じておらず、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bが一対のフランジ64A,64Bに成形される際のフランジ64A,64Bの形状のゆがみを顕著に抑制できた。 In addition, the inventor of the present application provided the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B in the second start-up process using the press forming apparatus 300, so that the pair of flanges 64A and 64B A computer simulation was performed on the effect of suppressing the occurrence of distortion. Specifically, the configuration in which the second rising step is performed using the press forming apparatus 300 of the present embodiment is taken as an example, and the wide portion 323 (second flange forming portions 324A and 324B) is not provided. Except for this, the same configuration as the example was used as a comparative example. Then, under the conditions that the press-formed product 60 has a tensile strength of 780 MPa and a plate thickness of 2.3 mm, the press-formed product 60, which is the product of the example, and the press-formed product, which is the product of the comparative example, A comparison was made on how the distortion occurred in 64A and 64B. More specifically, in the flanges 64A and 64B, one ends 641A and 641B (FIG. 1) on the side of the base 61 in the height direction Z1 are arranged inside the corresponding other ends 642A and 642B in the lateral direction Y1. We measured how much the position was shifted. In the comparative example, the one end 641A is displaced from the other end 642A by about 1.26 mm, and the one end 641B is displaced from the other end 642B by about 1.26 mm. On the other hand, in the embodiment, such positional deviation does not occur, and distortion of the shape of the flanges 64A, 64B when the pair of pre-flange portions 54A, 54B are formed into the pair of flanges 64A, 64B is significantly suppressed. did it.
 また、本実施形態によると、プレス方向Pにおいて、プレス成形装置300の第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bは、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの一端(下端)間に配置され、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、一対のフランジ予定部54A,54Bの他端(上端)間に配置される。この構成によると、フランジ予定部54A,54Bのうち、プレス方向Pにおける一対のフランジ64A,64Bの一対の端部の双方にフランジ予定部64A,64Bを受ける金型部分が配置されることで、第2立上工程におけるフランジ64A,64Bのゆがみを抑制できる。このように、フランジ64A,64Bのゆがみが最も発生し易い箇所においてフランジ64A,64B間で第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bおよび第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bが配置されてこのゆがみを抑制できるので、フランジ64A,64Bの寸法精度をより高くできる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, in the press direction P, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B of the press forming device 300 are arranged between one end (lower end) of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B, and the second flange forming portion The portions 324A and 324B are arranged between the other ends (upper ends) of the pair of pre-flange portions 54A and 54B. According to this configuration, by arranging the mold portions for receiving the planned flange portions 64A and 64B at both ends of the pair of flanges 64A and 64B in the pressing direction P, Distortion of the flanges 64A and 64B in the second rising process can be suppressed. In this manner, the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B are arranged between the flanges 64A, 64B at locations where the flanges 64A, 64B are most likely to be distorted, thereby suppressing this distortion. , the dimensional accuracy of the flanges 64A and 64B can be increased.
 また、本実施形態によると、第2立上工程において、一対の凸部65A,65B間においてストッパ314が一対の凸部65A,65Bを受けることができる。これにより、一対の凸部65A,65B間の間隔が要求される部品の寸法に対し過度に狭くならずに済み、プレス成形品60の寸法精度をより高くできる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the stopper 314 can receive the pair of protrusions 65A and 65B between the pair of protrusions 65A and 65B in the second rising process. As a result, the distance between the pair of protrusions 65A and 65B does not become excessively narrow with respect to the required dimensions of the component, and the dimensional accuracy of the press-formed product 60 can be increased.
 また、本実施形態によると、第2立上工程において、プレス成形装置300の第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bは、プレス方向Pにおけるベース予定部51寄りの箇所(第2方向P2側部分)に配置されている。この構成によると、ダイパッド320に第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bを設ける構成を簡易に実現できる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, in the second start-up process, the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B of the press forming device 300 are positioned near the planned base portion 51 in the pressing direction P (the portion on the second direction P2 side). are placed. According to this configuration, the configuration in which the die pad 320 is provided with the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B can be easily realized.
 また、本実施形態によると、プレス方向Pにおいて、プレス成形装置300のストッパ314の先端面314aは、パンチ310のうちダイパッド320側の先端(上端、ベース成形部315)から奥まった箇所に配置されている。この構成によると、パンチ310のベース成形部315からプレス方向Pの第1方向P1側に進んだ箇所に第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bを配置することができる。これにより、凸部65A,65B間に配置されるストッパ314からより近い箇所で第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bが一対のフランジ64A,64Bを受けることができる。よって、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bと一対のフランジ64A,64Bの対向面64aA,64aBとが対向する面積をより多くできる。その結果、一対のフランジ64A,64Bのゆがみを第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bが抑制する効果をより高くできる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, in the pressing direction P, the tip surface 314a of the stopper 314 of the press forming device 300 is arranged at a position recessed from the tip of the punch 310 on the die pad 320 side (the upper end, the base forming portion 315). ing. According to this configuration, the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B can be arranged at positions advanced from the base forming portion 315 of the punch 310 toward the first direction P1 side of the pressing direction P. As shown in FIG. As a result, the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B can receive the pair of flanges 64A, 64B at positions closer to the stopper 314 arranged between the convex portions 65A, 65B. Therefore, the area where the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B and the opposing surfaces 64aA, 64aB of the pair of flanges 64A, 64B face each other can be increased. As a result, the effect of suppressing the distortion of the pair of flanges 64A, 64B by the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B can be enhanced.
 また、本実施形態によると、第1フランジ成形部313A,313Bはパンチ310に設けられており、第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bはダイパッド320に設けられている。この構成によると、第1フランジ成形部313A,313B、および第2フランジ成形部324A,324Bについて、専用の金型を設ける必要がない。さらに、本実施形態では、ストッパ314はパンチ310に設けられている。よって、ストッパ314についても専用の金型を設ける必要がない。 Further, according to this embodiment, the first flange forming portions 313A and 313B are provided on the punch 310, and the second flange forming portions 324A and 324B are provided on the die pad 320. According to this configuration, there is no need to provide a dedicated mold for the first flange forming portions 313A, 313B and the second flange forming portions 324A, 324B. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stopper 314 is provided on the punch 310 . Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated mold for the stopper 314 as well.
 以上、本発明の実施形態および変形例について説明した。しかしながら、本発明は、上述の実施形態および変形例に限定されず、請求の範囲に記載の範囲内において、種々の変更が可能である。 The embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.
 例えば、上述の実施形態および変形例では、プレス成形装置200を用いた第1立上工程によって中間成形品40からワーク50が成形され、次いで、プレス成形装置300を用いた第2立上工程によってワーク50からプレス成形品60が成形された。しかしながら、この通りでなくてもよい。例えば、図14に示すように、中間成形品40は、プレス成形装置300を用いた1つの立上工程によってプレス成形品60に成形されてもよい。この場合、中間成形品40からプレス成形品60となる途中段階で、中間成形品40が僅かの間だけワーク50となり、その後、プレス動作の進行に伴って、ワーク50がプレス成形品60となる。 For example, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the workpiece 50 is formed from the intermediate molded product 40 by the first rising process using the press molding device 200, and then the second rising process using the press molding device 300. A press-formed product 60 was formed from the workpiece 50 . However, this need not be the case. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the intermediate product 40 may be formed into the press-formed product 60 by one rising process using the press-forming device 300. FIG. In this case, the intermediate molded product 40 becomes the workpiece 50 for a short period of time in the middle of the transition from the intermediate molded product 40 to the press molded product 60, and then the workpiece 50 becomes the press molded product 60 as the press operation progresses. .
 また、ワーク50のフランジ予定部64A,64Bのそれぞれに凸部65A,65Bが形成される構成に限らず、フランジ予定部64A,64Bの何れか一方のみに凸部65Aまたは凸部65Bが形成されてもよい。 Further, the configuration in which the projecting portions 65A and 65B are formed respectively on the pre-flange portions 64A and 64B of the workpiece 50 is not limited, and the projecting portion 65A or the protruding portion 65B is formed on only one of the pre-flange portions 64A and 64B. may
 また、ワーク50の凸部65A,65Bは、バーリング加工によって成形された構成に限らない。例えば、ウエルドナットなどのワーク50に部品が取り付けられることで凸部65A,65Bが形成されてもよいし。ワークをプレス成形することなどによって素材を膨出することで凸部が形成されてもよい。 Also, the convex portions 65A and 65B of the workpiece 50 are not limited to being formed by burring. For example, the protrusions 65A and 65B may be formed by attaching parts to the workpiece 50 such as weld nuts. The projections may be formed by expanding the material by press molding the workpiece or the like.
