Description

  The present invention relates to a punch die used in a punch press machine, and more particularly to a punch die that allows a retainer to be attached to and detached from a punch guide easily and quickly.

Conventionally, as this type of punch mold, an inner peripheral groove is provided on the upper inner surface of the punch guide, and a plurality of locations of the inner peripheral groove are provided with notched concave communication passages that communicate with the upper surface of the punch guide. A plurality of flange-like engaging projections that pass through the communication path and can be engaged with the inner circumferential groove are formed at a plurality of positions on the lower surface of the retainer that protrude in a cylindrical shape. Some retainers can be easily attached and detached without using a tool (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Furthermore, a circumferential groove and an engagement recess are provided on the lower surface of the retainer, and a flange member in the punch guide is provided with a slide member provided with an engagement pin so as to be movable in a radial direction (radial direction). The slide member is urged radially outward by an elastic member such as a coil spring. When the slide member is moved radially inward against the urging force of the elastic member and the engagement pin is moved from the engagement recess to the position of the circumferential groove, the retainer is moved relative to the punch guide. The punch body is moved up and down by this rotation, and the height dimension from the punch head to the punch blade portion can be adjusted.
Further, when the engaging projection provided on the retainer is positioned at the position of the communication path, the retainer can be removed from the upper portion of the punch guide.

Japanese Patent No. 4451372

However, in such a conventional punch die, a plurality of engaging projections are arranged to be exposed on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the retainer, so that the retainer is removed from the punch guide and hit another object. If it is handled roughly, such as hitting, the engaging projection may be deformed or damaged. In such a case, there is a problem that it becomes impossible to attach or detach the punch guide.
Further, in order to integrally project and form a plurality of engaging protrusions on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the retainer, most of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface excluding these engaging protrusions must be cut and processed. In order to provide the peripheral groove and the engaging recess on the lower surface, it is necessary to perform cutting, and there is a problem that it takes time for these processing operations and the cost is increased. The inner peripheral groove is recessed along the cylindrical inner peripheral surface of the punch guide, and the notched concave communication path is recessed at a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral groove, so that the inner peripheral groove and the communication path are cut. There was a problem that processing was difficult and cost was high.
In addition, the retainer can be attached to and detached from the punch guide only at the insertion position where the engaging protrusion of the retainer and the communication path of the punch guide face each other, and the attachment / detachment position of the punch guide and the retainer in the rotational direction is determined. For this reason, there is a problem in that it is difficult to perform the attaching / detaching work and takes time and effort.
Further, since the height adjustment and the retainer and the punch guide are attached / detached by operating the slide member, when the retainer is rotated with respect to the punch guide in order to perform the height adjustment, the engaging protrusion of the retainer However, there is a possibility that the retainer and the punch guide may be unintentionally detached from the punch guide, thereby causing a fall accident.

  An object of the present invention is to cope with such a problem, and it is possible to easily attach and detach the punch guide and the retainer without a tool without forming a protrusion on the fitting surface of the retainer with respect to the punch guide, The purpose is to attach and detach the punch guide and the retainer at an arbitrary insertion position.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention includes a cylindrical punch guide, a punch body that is supported in a reciprocating manner in the axial direction inside the punch guide, and has a punch blade at an end thereof. A punch die comprising: a punch head attached to a punch body; a retainer attached to an end of the punch guide; and an elastic member provided between the punch head and the retainer. Has a cylindrical portion inserted and fitted along the inner peripheral surface of the punch guide, and a concave groove formed in the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, and the punch guide has an inner peripheral surface thereof. A locking means that is reciprocally movable from the retainer toward the cylindrical portion of the retainer, and engages the recessed groove and the punch guide so as not to move in the axial direction, and engages the locking means with the recessed groove. Is released Characterized in that a lock release operation portion for moving the that direction.

In the present invention having the above-described features, the cylindrical portion of the retainer is inserted and fitted along the inner peripheral surface of the punch guide, and the locking means is moved toward the concave groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion. Due to this, the locking means engages with the concave groove of the cylindrical portion, and the cylindrical portion of the retainer is connected to the punch guide so as not to move in the axial direction, and in this connected state, the lock is unlocked by the unlocking operation portion. By moving the means, the engagement between the concave groove of the cylindrical portion and the locking means is released, and the retainer can be removed from the punch guide, so that a protrusion is formed on the fitting surface of the retainer with respect to the punch guide. The punch guide and retainer can be easily attached and detached without tools.
As a result, compared to the conventional one in which a plurality of engaging protrusions are exposed and arranged on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the retainer, the punch guide and the retainer are separated from each other and hit against other objects. However, deformation and breakage are unlikely to occur, and the punch guide and the retainer can be securely attached and detached over a long period of time.
Furthermore, compared to the conventional one in which a plurality of engaging protrusions are cut on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the retainer, only the concave grooves are cut along the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, so that the processing man-hours are reduced, Since it is not necessary to recess the inner peripheral groove and the communication path along the cylindrical inner peripheral surface of the punch guide as in the conventional one, the number of processing steps is shortened, the cutting process is easy, and the cost can be reduced.

In particular, when the concave groove is an annular groove that is continuous in the entire circumferential direction along the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, the cylindrical portion of the retainer is inserted when the cylindrical portion of the retainer is inserted into the inner peripheral surface of the punch guide. Even if it rotates in the circumferential direction, the annular groove that becomes a concave groove can be engaged with the locking means, so that the punch guide and the retainer can be attached and detached at an arbitrary insertion position.
As a result, since the attaching / detaching operation can be performed at an arbitrary position as compared with the conventional one in which the attaching / detaching positions of the punch guide and the retainer in the rotation direction are determined, anyone can quickly attach / detach, and the usability is good.
