Press-molding method and press-molding device
View Patent ↗A press-molding device ( 80 ) press molds a bottom portion of a work piece ( 9 ) having a closed-end shape between an, inner die ( 521 ) inserted into the work piece ( 9 ) and an outer die ( 551 ) disposed on an outside of the work piece ( 9 ). A chuck position switching mechanism ( 501 ) grips the work piece ( 9 ) so that the work piece ( 9 ) can move in an axial direction. An inner die moving mechanism ( 522 ) inserts the inner die ( 521 ) into the inside end of the work piece ( 9 ). A stopper mechanism ( 531 ) supports the inner die ( 521 ) in a processing position by restricting movement of the inner die ( 521 ). An outer die moving mechanism ( 552 ) press-molds the bottom portion of the work piece ( 9 ) between the outer die ( 551 ) and the inner die ( 521 ), thereby press-molding the workpiece ( 9 ) smoothly without damaging an inner peripheral surface of the workpiece ( 9 ).
1. A press-molding method for press-molding a bottom portion of a work piece having a closed-end shape between an inner die inserted into an inside end of the work piece and an outer die disposed on an outside of the work piece, comprising:
gripping the work piece via a core adjusting chuck mechanism so that the work piece can move in an axial direction thereof;
moving the inner die in the axial direction via an inner die moving mechanism so that the inner die is inserted into the inside end of the work piece;
restricting movement of the inner die via a stopper mechanism so that the inner die is supported in a processing position; and
moving the outer die in the axial direction of the work piece via an outer die moving mechanism so that the bottom portion of the work piece is press-molded between the outer die and the inner die in a state where the core adjusting chuck mechanism grips the work piece so that the work piece can move in an axial direction thereof and the stopper mechanism restricts movement of the inner die so that the inner die is supported in a processing position.
2. A press-molding device for press-molding a bottom portion of a work piece having a closed-end shape between an inner die inserted into an inside end of the work piece and an outer die disposed on an outside of the work piece, comprising:
a core adjusting chuck mechanism that grips the work piece so that the work piece can move in an axial direction thereof in a state where the bottom portion of the work piece is press-molded between the inner die and the outer die;
an inner die moving mechanism that inserts the inner die into the inside end of the work piece by moving the inner die in the axial direction;
a stopper mechanism that supports the inner die in a processing position by restricting movement of the inner die in a state where the bottom portion of the work piece is press-molded between the inner die and the outer die; and
an outer die moving mechanism that press-molds the bottom portion of the work piece between the outer die and the inner die by moving the outer die in the axial direction.
3. The press-molding device as defined in claim 2 , wherein the core adjusting chuck mechanism grips the work piece via a plurality of rollers that contact an outer peripheral surface of the work piece rotationally.
4. The press-molding device as defined in claim 2 , wherein the inner die moving mechanism comprises a sliding table that moves in the axial direction of the work piece, the inner die projecting from a front portion of the sliding table and a positioning shaft projecting from a rear portion of the sliding table, and the stopper mechanism inserts a stopper plate into a path penetrated by the positioning shaft.
5. The press-molding device as defined in claim 2 , further comprising a chuck position switching mechanism that switches a position of the core adjusting chuck mechanism in the axial direction of the work piece.
