First, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of the present metal sheet forming system. As shown, the present sheet metal forming system 20 mainly includes a mold 21, a heater 23, a lifting unit 30, a fluid supply unit 40, and a control unit 50. The control unit 50 can connect and control the heater 23, the lift unit 30, and/or the fluid supply unit 40.
The mold 21 includes a sealing die 211 and a molding die 215. The sealing die 211 is provided with a sealing cavity 212 and a gas transmission hole 213.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sealing die 211 is a fixed mold fixed at the same position, and the molding die 215 is placed on the upper end of the elevator 31 to which the lifting unit 30 belongs, between the molding die 215 and the sealing die 211. The distance will be changeable. As the lifter 31 is lifted and lowered, the molding die 215 of the mold 21 and the sealing die 211 are brought into a mold clamping (state) or a partial mold (state), and the mold clamping state is shown in the drawing. .
The top end of the molding die 15 can be used to place a metal plate 65, which can be selected from a stainless steel, copper, aluminum, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy, nickel-based superalloy, tungsten, molybdenum and/or Or a variety of thin metal shells such as cobalt.
A heater 23 is disposed around the periphery of the mold 21, such as a high-frequency heater 231 and/or an electric heating tube 235 shown in the drawings, which surround the periphery of the sealing mold 211 and/or the molding die 215, respectively. Heater 23 can be used in pairs The mold 21 is subjected to a heating process, and the metal sheet 65 existing between the sealing mold 211 and the molding die 215 is indirectly heat-treated by the heating action of the mold 21.
The heating temperature of the heater 23 can be adjusted depending on the type of the metal plate 65. For the more commonly used metal sheet 65, the heating temperature is about 180 ° C ~ 650 ° C, but not limited thereto.
When the mold 21 is in the mold clamping state, the fluid supply unit 40 will continuously supply the high pressure fluid 49 into the sealed chamber 212, thereby forming a fluid pressure (air pressure) Pa on the upper surface of the metal sheet 65. In order to prevent the mold 21 from being opened or deflated due to the fluid pressure Pa in the sealed chamber 212, when the fluid supply unit 40 continues to supply the high pressure fluid 49, the lift 31 will continue to push the forming die 215 toward the sealing die 211. And moving, its rising thrust will also generate a pushing pressure Po on the mold 21. The fluid pressure Pa generated by the high-pressure fluid 49 and the push-up pressure Po generated by the elevator 31 will cause the heated and softened metal sheet 65 to be pushed toward the inner layer of the molding cavity 216, and finally become a certain type of metal molded part 67.

The rear end face is then bent down to the condenser tube position point 73B as indicated by the dashed line. The condensate W1 passes through the bottom side of the cooling tank 70 to the front end surface via the condensation tube position point 73B of the rear end surface, and the condensation tube 73 is further directed to the front end surface of the cooling tank. The upper portion is bent to the front end surface condenser tube position point 73C as indicated by the solid line. The condensate W1 passes through the bottom side of the cooling tank 70 to the rear end surface via the condensing pipe position point 73C of the front end surface, and then passes to the front end surface of the condensing pipe position point 73Z, and then the condensate W1 is discharged from the condensing pipe 73. .
Similarly, if the cooling tank 70 is selected to have a plurality of condensing tubes 73, the other cold water W2 can be input from the upper left condensing tube position point 735A and sent to the lower right side condensing tube position point 735Z.
In still another embodiment of the present invention, the cooling tank 70 may also be designed without the design of the condensation tube 73, as long as a coolant or a liquid 75 is placed in the tank, and the molding die 215 is placed after the coolant or liquid. 75 can flow around the periphery of the molding die 215, whereby the surface integrity of the metal molding 67 can be protected, and the purpose of cooling and demolding the metal molding 67 can be accelerated.
In addition, please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a molding flow chart of an embodiment of the present metal sheet during molding. As shown in the figure, and please refer to Figure 2 at the same time, the creation of the metal is included in the molding:
In step S601, the control unit 50 controls and activates the heater 23, and the heater 23 directly heats the mold 21 in the mold opening state, and continues to heat until the mold 21 has reached a predetermined operating temperature T1.
In step S602, the metal plate 65 is moved by a feeding unit 60 (as shown in Fig. 3) and placed on the top side end of the molding die 215, and the heater 23 continues to directly heat the mold 21.
In step S603, the control unit 50 will control and activate the lifting unit 30, and the elevator 31 will move the molding die 215 toward the sealing die 211. To complete the mold clamping process of the mold 21. At this time, the metal plate 65 is interposed between the sealing mold 211 and the molding die 215, and the heating action of the heater 23 is indirectly obtained via the sealing die 211 and the molding die 215.
The fluid supply unit 40 starts to supply a high pressure fluid 49 to the sealed chamber 212 via the gas pipe 43 and the gas delivery hole 213 when the mold 21 is closed or when the lift 31 is activated, and generates a high pressure fluid 49 in the sealed cavity 212 and on the surface of the metal plate 65. Fluid pressure Pa. The lift 31 of the lifting unit 30 also drives the forming die 215 to continuously rise, and generates a pushing pressure Po to the die 21, and the pushing pressure Po will be greater than the fluid pressure Pa (Po>Pa). Since the push-up pressure Po generated by the lifter 31 will be greater than the fluid pressure Pa generated by the high-pressure fluid 49, the drawback of the gas leakage of the mold 21 due to the fluid pressure Pa can be avoided.
In step S604, the push-up pressure Po generated by the elevator 31 and the fluid pressure Pa generated by the high-pressure fluid 49 are individually performed in a stepwise incremental mode, and the fluid pressure Pa also causes the heated and softened metal sheet 65 to be pressed against the molding. In the mold 215, it is formed into a metal molded piece 67. The metal molded part 67 has been formed.
In step S605, the control unit 50 drives the elevator 31 of the controllable lifting unit 30 to move the forming die 215 and the metal forming member 67 downward to move away from the sealing die 11, that is, a mold opening process.
In step S606, after the metal molding 67 is cooled to a predetermined temperature, the metal molding 67 can be taken out from the molding die 215 to complete the metal molding.
This creation step S604 adopts a segment increment mode for metal formation. Type pressurization procedure, as shown in Figure 7. The working time at which the metal sheet 65 is heated and pressed to form the metal forming member 67 can be defined as a molding period, for example, t0 to t8. The control unit 50 will control the molding period including one or a plurality of changing periods (tc; t0~t1, t2~t3, t4~t5, and t6~t7) and one or more stagnant periods (ts; t1~t2, t3) ~t4, t5~t6 and t7~t8). During the first change period tc (t0~t1), the control unit 50 will control the fluid pressure Pa to increase to a preset fluid pressure value 437 (Pa1), and the push-up pressure Po may be increased to a preset push-up. Pressure value 397 (Po1). During the first stagnant period ts (t1~t2), the preset fluid pressure value Pa1 and the preset push pressure value Po1 are controlled to be maintained at a fixed value, and the pressure on the metal plate 65 is continuously applied.
If, due to the material properties of the metal sheet 65, there is a next change period tc (t2~t3) immediately after the first stagnation period ts(t1~t2), the fluid pressure is in the second change period tc. Pa will increase to another preset fluid pressure value Pa2, and the push-up pressure Po will increase to another preset push-up pressure value Po2. And in the second stagnation period ts (t3~t4), the preset fluid pressure value Pa2 and the preset push pressure value Po2 are controlled to maintain a fixed value, and the pressure is continuously applied to the metal plate 65. And so on, until the metal molding 67 is formed.
In other words, the fluid pressure Pa and the push-up pressure Po are respectively applied to the metal plate 65 and the mold 21 in a piecewise incremental mode, and the segment incremental mode includes one or a plurality of change periods tc and one Or a plurality of stagnant periods ts, and the fluid pressure value (Pa) and the push-up pressure value (Po) will continue to increase during the change period tc, and during the stagnant period The fluid pressure value (Pa) and the push-up pressure value (Po) are maintained in the segment ts.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset push-up pressure values (Po1, Po2, Po3, Po4) at the same time point are greater than the preset fluid pressure values (Pa1, Pa2, Pa3, Pa4). Preferably, the push-up pressure Po is greater than the fluid pressure Pa, and the amount is greater than about 10% to 40% of the fluid pressure, especially more than 18% to 27%.
Further, in an embodiment of the present creation, the control unit 50 continues to heat the control heater 23 during the molding period in which the metal sheet 65 is press-formed into the metal molding 67, and causes the metal sheet 65 to be maintained at a certain level. Performed under constant temperature conditions.
Of course, in various embodiments, the control unit 50 will continue to heat the controllable heater 23 and may also relatively increase the operation of the heater 23 and the metal sheet 65 as the push-up pressure Po and/or the fluid pressure Pa increases. temperature.
Finally, please refer to FIG. 8 , which is a flow chart of molding of another embodiment of the present metal sheet during molding. As shown in the figure, please also refer to Figure 3, this creation includes:
In step S801, the control unit 50 controls and activates the heater 23 to heat the sealing mold 211 to a preset working temperature T1, and the control unit 50 also controls and activates the outer mold heater 25 to preheat the waiting mold 2155 to one. The outside temperature of the mold is T2.
Step S802, while waiting for the molding die 2155 to be moved into the mold forming area 200, a metal sheet 65 existing at room temperature is moved by a feeding unit 60 and placed on the top side end of the waiting molding die 2155, and Together with The mold to be molded 2155 is moved to the upper end of the elevator 31 and the mold forming area 200 by the transfer unit 61, and waits for the molding die 2155 to become a working mold 2151.
In step S803, the control unit 50 will control and activate the lifting unit 30, and the elevator 31 will move the working forming die 2151 toward the sealing die 211 to complete the clamping process of the die 21. At this time, the metal plate 65 will be interposed between the sealing mold 211 and the working mold 2151, and the heating effect of the heater 23 is indirectly obtained via the sealing mold 211 and the working mold 2151.
The fluid supply unit 40 starts to supply a high pressure fluid 49 to the sealed chamber 212 via the gas delivery pipe 43 and the gas delivery hole 213 when the mold 21 is clamped or the lifter 31 is activated, and generates a fluid in the sealed cavity 212 and on the surface of the metal plate 65. Pressure Pa. The lifting unit 30 also drives the working forming mold 2151 to continuously raise, and generates a pushing pressure Po to the mold 21, and the pushing pressure Po will be greater than the fluid pressure Pa (Po>Pa), thereby avoiding the mold 21 due to fluid pressure. Pa causes the drawback of gas leakage.
In step S804, the push-up pressure Po generated by the elevator 31 and the fluid pressure Pa generated by the high-pressure fluid 49 are individually performed in a piecewise incremental mode, and the fluid pressure Pa also causes the sheet 65 which has been heated and softened to be pressed against the molding. In the mold 215, it is formed into a metal molded piece 67.
Step S805, the metal molding 67 has been press-formed, and the control unit 50 drives the elevator 31 of the controllable lifting unit 30 to move the working mold 2151 and the metal molding 67 downward to move away from the sealing mold 11, that is, a mold opening. program.
Step S806, after the mold is opened, the moving unit 61 is from the mold forming area 200. The working forming die 2151 is taken out, and the working forming die 2151 and the metal forming member 67 still present therein are moved together and placed in a cooling bath 70 to cool down. The molding die 215 is directly cooled by contact with the cooling bath 70, and the metal molding 67 is indirectly cooled by the molding die 215.
In step S807, when the working molding die 2151 and the metal molding 67 are lowered to a preset temperature value, the metal molding 67 is removed from the working molding die 2151, and the molding step of the metal molding 67 is completed.
When the working mold 2151 and the metal molded piece 67 are moved to the cooling bath 70, the control unit 50 controls the next step S802. The feeding unit 60 will move another sheet metal 65 present at a room temperature to the upper end of the other waiting molding die 2155 which has been preheated to the mold in the outer heating zone 24 of the mold. The outer temperature T2 is passed, and the waiting mold 2155 and its metal plate 65 are moved to the upper end of the elevator 31.
