Invention title: Hold device
Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a hold device used by being attached to a mold device.
Background technology
[0002]
 Automotive structural members such as front side members, cross members, A-pillars, and B-pillars are manufactured by drawing a material (eg, a metal plate). For draw forming, a mold apparatus including an upper mold composed of a die and a lower mold composed of a punch and a holder is generally used.
[0003]
 In draw forming, for example, the outer edge of the material is pressed against the die by the holder, and the central portion of the material is pushed toward the die by a punch. As a result, a molded product having a desired shape is produced.
[0004]
 In the process of drawing, inflow resistance is generated at the outer edge of the material due to the pressing force of the holder against the die. Therefore, the material can be molded with tension applied to the material, and the occurrence of wrinkles due to the excess material during molding is suppressed.
[0005]
 In recent years, high-strength steel having a tensile strength of 590 MPa or more and further 980 MPa or more has been used as a material for structural members for automobiles in order to improve collision safety and reduce the weight of the vehicle body.
[0006]
 However, the moldability of the material decreases as the strength of the material increases. Therefore, when drawing and forming a material made of high-strength steel, if the inflow resistance generated at the outer edge of the material is too large, the plate thickness of each part of the molded product may decrease and the molded product may crack. ..
[0007]
 The occurrence of cracks as described above can be suppressed by reducing the pressing force of the holder and reducing the inflow resistance generated at the outer edge of the material. However, if the inflow resistance generated at the outer edge of the material becomes small, the material cannot be stretched properly, and wrinkles due to the excess material may occur.
[0008]
 Therefore, conventionally, a device capable of suppressing the occurrence of cracks and wrinkles as described above has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a press parts manufacturing apparatus. The manufacturing apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a first die provided on the press bolster and a second die provided on the press slide. The first die includes a punch die fixed to the press bolster and a blank holder arranged outside the punch die. The second die includes a movable pad provided on the press slide, a bending blade arranged outside the movable pad, and a catcher arranged outside the bending blade so as to move in conjunction with the movable pad. It has an outer cam located on the outside of the catcher.
[0009]
 In the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1, the outer edge of the blank is sandwiched by the blank holder and the bending blade, and the center of the blank is sandwiched by the movable pad and the punch die, and the center of the blank is bent by the punch die. By pushing it toward the blade side, draw forming is performed. In this case, the portion sandwiched by the movable pad and the punch die is suppressed from being deformed in the thickness direction in the molding process. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles in the portion narrowed by the movable pad and the punch die without increasing the pressing force of the blank holder more than necessary. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks and wrinkles in the molded product.
[0010]
 By the way, when taking out a molded product after drawing molding in the above-mentioned manufacturing apparatus, it is necessary to release the first mold and the second mold. However, even after press molding, a force is applied to the movable pad and the blank holder in the direction of approaching each other. Therefore, if the first mold and the second mold are simply released, the movable pad is formed. And the molded product is deformed at the time of mold release due to the pressure from the blank holder.
[0011]
 In order to prevent the above-mentioned deformation of the molded product, the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1 is provided with a joint link swingably supported by the blank holder. Specifically, in the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1, by locking the joint link and the catcher at the bottom dead center of molding, it is possible to prevent the movable pad and the blank holder from moving in the direction of approaching each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the molded product from being deformed by the pressure from the movable pad and the blank holder at the time of mold release.

Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0013]
 By the way, in the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1, in order to lock the joint link and the catcher, the outer cam of the second mold is moved toward the first mold to move the outer cam and the joint link. It is necessary to make contact and rotate the joint link toward the inside of the mold.
[0014]
 As a result of detailed studies by the present inventors, it has been found that the joint link and the outer cam are easily worn in the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1. Specifically, in the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1, since the joint link is provided in the first mold and the outer cam is provided in the second mold, the distance between the center of gravity of the joint link and the center of gravity of the outer cam Becomes larger. For this reason, it becomes difficult to improve the relative positional accuracy between the joint link and the outer cam, and when the joint link and the outer cam come into contact with each other, the joint link and the outer cam are not considered in the design. A directional load may be applied. This makes the joint link and outer cam more susceptible to damage. As a result, it becomes difficult to reduce the maintenance cost of the manufacturing equipment.

 An object of the present invention is to provide a holding device capable of suppressing deformation of a molded product at the time of mold release while suppressing maintenance costs.

[0029]
 The first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 are arranged so as to face each other in the vertical direction Z. The mold device 100 according to the present embodiment moves in the pressing direction so that the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 are relatively close to each other, so that the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 20 are relatively close to each other. This is an apparatus for press-molding a plate-shaped material 300 arranged between the mold unit 22 and the mold unit 22.
[0030]
 In this embodiment, the vertical direction Z corresponds to the press direction. Further, in the present embodiment, in the pressing direction, the direction from the second mold unit 22 to the first mold unit 20 is the first direction Z1, and the direction from the first mold unit 20 to the second mold unit 22. Is the second direction Z2.
[0031]

In the vertical direction Z, the die 36 is provided so as to face the holder 34, and the pad 38 is provided so as to face the punch 32. The holder 34 is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction Z with respect to the punch 32, and the pad 38 is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction Z with respect to the die 36.
[0032]
 The distance member 24 of the hold device 1 is configured to be attachable and detachable to the holder 34. In the present embodiment, the distance member 24 is used by being attached to the holder 34 in a swingable state via the support member 25. More specifically, the distance member 24 is swingably supported by the support member 25, and the support member 25 is attached to the holder 34. The distance member 24 moves in the vertical direction Z in conjunction with the movement of the holder 34 in the vertical direction Z.
[0033]
 In the present embodiment, the distance member 24 swings between the original position (position shown in FIG. 1) that does not contact the second mold unit 22 and the prevention position (position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5) described later. It is attached to the holder 34 so that it can be attached. Although the details will be described later, in the in-situ position, no load is applied from the second mold unit 22 to the distance member 24. On the other hand, in the prevention position, a load in the first direction Z1 is applied to the distance member 24 from the pad 38 of the second mold unit 22.
[0034]
 The rocking device 26 is configured to be attachable and detachable to the first mold unit 20. In the present embodiment, the rocking device 26 is used by being attached to the first mold unit 20 so that the distance member 24 can be rocked. The rocking device 26 moves the distance member 24 from the original position (position shown in FIG. 1) to the prevention position (FIGS. 4 and 5) as the holder 34 moves relative to the punch 32 in the first direction Z1. It is a device that swings toward the indicated position). In FIG. 1, the rocking device 26 is attached to the punch 32, but the rocking device 26 may be attached to any component of the first mold unit 20.
[0035]
 Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the hold device 1 and the mold device 100 when press forming the material 300 will be briefly described. When press molding is performed using the mold device 100 to which the hold device 1 is attached, first, as shown in FIG. 1, a plate-shaped material 300 is arranged on the punch 32 and the holder 34. At this time, the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 are separated from each other in the vertical direction Z. In FIG. 1, each component of the hold device 1 and the mold device 100 is in the original position. The distance member 24 is separated from the second mold unit 22 in the original position. In other words, in the in-situ position, the distance member 24 is not loaded by the second mold unit 22.
[0036]
 Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 move in the direction of approaching each other in the vertical direction Z. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the die 36 of the second mold unit 22 moves relative to the first mold unit 20 in the first direction Z1. As a result, the material 300 is sandwiched between the punch 32 and the holder 34, and the pad 38 and the die 36. In FIG. 2, the distance member 24 is in the original position.
[0037]
 As shown in FIG. 3, the die 36 is further moved relative to the first direction Z1 with respect to the first mold unit 20, so that the holder 34 and the die 36 are relative to the punch 32 and the pad 38. Moves to the first direction Z1. As a result, molding is started on the material 300.
[0038]
 As shown in FIG. 4, with respect to the punch 32 and the pad 38, the holder 34 and the die 36 further move in the first direction Z1 and reach the bottom dead center of molding (molding completion position) to reach a predetermined molding height. The pressed part 200 is obtained. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, as the holder 34 moves relative to the punch 32 in the first direction Z1, the swing device 26 of the hold device 1 moves the distance member 24 from the original position. Swing toward the prevention position.
[0039]
 In the state shown in FIG. 4, the movement of the pad 38 in the first direction Z1 relative to the holder 34 is regulated by the distance member 24. As a result, the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z is maintained at a predetermined molding height or more. In other words, in the state shown in FIG. 4, the distance member 24 prevents the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z from becoming a predetermined distance or less. In the present embodiment, the position (position shown in FIG. 4) of the distance member 24 that prevents the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z from becoming less than a predetermined distance is referred to as a prevention position. In the preventive position, the distance member 24 receives a load from the pad 38 in the first direction Z1 by being connected to the pad 38. In FIG. 4, the distance member 24 is in contact with the pad 38 at the prevention position, but may be indirectly connected to the pad 38 via another member. That is, the distance member 24 may receive the load from the pad 38 in the first direction Z1 directly from the pad 38 or indirectly via another member. In the following, the function of the hold device that prevents the distance between the holder and the pad from becoming less than a predetermined distance is referred to as a locking function, and the operation of the hold device that prevents the distance between the holder and the pad from becoming less than a predetermined distance. Is called a locking operation.
[0040]
 Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the holder 34 and the pad 38 move relative to the punch 32 in the second direction Z2 together with the die 36. As a result, the punch 32 moves relative to the pad 38 in the first direction Z1. In other words, the punch 32 moves away from the pad 38.
[0041]
 Finally, as shown in FIG. 6, the first die unit 20 and the second die unit 22 are further separated in the vertical direction Z, and the press component 200 is taken out. Here, as described above, the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z is held by the distance member 24 of the hold device 1 to be equal to or higher than a predetermined molding height. In other words, the pressure applied from the holder 34 to the second direction Z2 and the pressure applied from the pad 38 to the first direction Z1 are both received by the distance member 24. As a result, it is possible to prevent a large pressure from being applied to the pressed component 200 from the holder 34 and the pad 38. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pressed part 200 from being deformed at the time of mold release.
[0042]
 As described above, in the hold device 1 according to the present embodiment, both the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 are configured to be attached to the first mold unit 20. Therefore, the distance between the center of gravity of the distance member 24 and the center of gravity of the rocking device 26 in the vertical direction Z can be reduced as compared with the case where the rocking device 26 is attached to the second mold unit 22. As a result, when the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 are attached to the first mold unit 20, the relative positional accuracy between the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 can be improved. Therefore, when the force is transmitted from the swing device 26 to the distance member 24 (when swinging the distance member 24), the load in the direction not considered in the design is applied to the distance member 24 and the swing device 26. Can be sufficiently suppressed from being loaded. As a result, damage to the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 can be sufficiently suppressed. That is, the maintenance cost of the hold device 1 can be suppressed.
[0043]
 Further, by reducing the distance between the center of gravity of the distance member 24 and the center of gravity of the rocking device 26, the distance member 24 can be swung by a small operation of the rocking device 26. Therefore, the rocking device 26 itself can be made compact. In this case, the distance between the center of gravity of the rocking device 26 and the mounting position of the rocking device 26 on the first mold unit 20 can be reduced. As a result, when the force is transmitted from the swing device 26 to the distance member 24, the moment of force applied from the distance member 24 to the swing device 26 can be reduced. As a result, damage to the swing device 26 can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0044]
 Further, by making the swing device 26 smaller, it is possible to improve the accuracy of assembling the swing device 26 to the first mold unit 20. As a result, when the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 come into contact with each other, it is possible to prevent an unnecessary load due to misalignment from being applied to the distance member 24 and the swing device 26. As a result, the distance member 24 can be smoothly swung with a small amount of power, and damage to the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0045]
 Further, since the operating range and configuration of the swing device 26 can be reduced, the degree of freedom in designing the mold device 100 itself is increased. This makes it possible to appropriately use the hold device 1 even in a transfer type press machine in which there are strict requirements for the dimensions and configuration of the outer portion of the die device.
[0046]
 Further, the hold device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the mold device 100. Therefore, by preparing the spare hold device 1, even if any component of the hold device 1 fails, the operation of the mold device 100 can be continued by replacing the spare hold device 1 with the spare hold device 1. can do. For example, even if an unexpected failure occurs in the hold device 1, it is possible to quickly respond to the failure by replacing the hold device 1.
[0047]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the locking function is exhibited by the hold device 1. Therefore, by appropriately adjusting the hold device 1 when assembling the hold device 1 to the die device 100, it becomes easy to adjust the locking operation when assembling the die device 100 to the press machine.
[0048]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the mold device 100 may be configured so that the hold device 1 can be attached and detached, and the configuration of an essential part of the mold device 100 includes a known mold device configuration. Can be used. For example, the hold device 1 can be attached to the existing mold device 100 and used by performing a simple process for attaching the hold device 1 to the existing mold device 100. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the mold apparatus 100 can be suppressed.
[0049]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the assembly adjustment of the hold device 1 can be performed separately from the assembly adjustment of the die device 100 to the press machine. For example, the hold device 1 can be assembled to the die device 100 before the die device 100 is assembled to the press machine. As a result, the assembly accuracy of the hold device 1 can be easily improved.
[0050]
 Further, since the hold device 1 can be removed from the mold device 100, the maintenance of the hold device 1 becomes easy.
[0051]
 Further, in the present embodiment, all or a part of the components of the hold device 1 can be reused when the mold device is updated or when the configuration of the mold device is changed. As a result, the running cost can be reduced.
[0052]
 Further, in the present embodiment, when designing the mold device 100, it is necessary to consider the arrangement and mounting structure of the hold device 1, but it is not necessary to study the locking function in detail. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the hold devices 1 can be serialized according to a predetermined condition such as a press load, and design data of a plurality of hold devices 1 can be held for each series.

(Operations of Hold Device and Mold Device)
 Next, operations of the hold device 1a and the mold device 100a will be described. 9 to 13 are diagrams for explaining a method of manufacturing a pressed part by a holding device and a mold device. In the present embodiment, the pressed parts are manufactured from the raw material by carrying out the first to fifth steps described below.
[0079]
(First Step) As
 shown in FIG. 8, first, the plate-shaped material 300 is arranged on the punch 32 and the holder 34. At this time, the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 are separated in the vertical direction Z. In the first step, each component of the hold device 1a and the mold device 100a is in the in-situ state. The distance member 24 is separated from the second mold unit 22 in the original position. Further, in the original position, the upper end portion of the swing portion 24a of the distance member 24 is located outside the locking portion 39a of the receiving member 39 in the width direction X. Further, in the original position, the upper end portion of the swing portion 24a and the lower end portion of the stopper member 30a face each other in the vertical direction Z.
[0080]
 As the material 300, for example, a high-strength material having a tensile strength of 590 to 1600 MPa can be used.
[0081]
(Second Step)
 Next, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first mold unit 20 and the second mold unit 22 move in the direction of approaching each other in the vertical direction Z. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 9, the second mold unit 22 (die 36) is relatively moved in the first direction Z1 with respect to the first mold unit 20 by a press machine (not shown). .. As a result, the material 300 is sandwiched between the punch 32 (punch body 32b) and the holder 34, and the pad 38 (pad body 38a) and the die 36 (die body 36b). Further, the stopper member 30a of each stopper device 30 moves in the second direction Z2 relative to the locking portion 39a of the receiving member 39 by being pushed by the swinging portion 24a. In FIG. 9, the distance member 24 is in the original position.
[0082]
 As shown in FIG. 10, the die 36 is further moved relative to the first direction Z1 with respect to the first mold unit 20, so that the holder 34 and the die 36 are relative to the punch 32 and the pad 38. Moves to the first direction Z1. As a result, molding is started on the material 300. Specifically, of the material 300, the central portion (the punch main body 32b and the pad main body) in the width X is relative to both ends (the portion sandwiched between the holder 34 and the die main body 36b) in the width direction X. The portion sandwiched by 38a) is pushed out toward the second direction Z2.
[0083]
 Further, as the holder 34 moves relative to the punch 32 in the first direction Z1, the distance member 24 attached to the holder 34 via the support member 25 is attached to the punch 32 via the support member 27. It moves in the first direction Z1 relative to the rocking device 26. As a result, the transmission member 26b is pushed in the first direction Z1 by the pressing portion 24c, and the coil spring 26a is compressed. As a result, in the coil spring 26a, a repulsive force that pushes the transmission member 26b in the second direction Z2 is generated. That is, in the present embodiment, the coil spring (elastic member) 26a generates a repulsive force that generates a repulsive force in the second direction Z2 by being pressed against the Z1 in the first direction by the distance member 24 via the transmission member 26b. Functions as a department. The repulsive force in the second direction Z2 generated in the coil spring 26a is transmitted to the pressing portion 24c of the distance member 24 via the transmission member 26b. As a result, the force that causes the distance member 24 to swing (rotate) toward the inside of the mold device 100a with the lower end of the swing portion 24a as the swing center is applied from the swing device 26 to the distance member 24. Given. However, immediately after the start of molding on the material 300, the movement of the swinging portion 24a toward the inside of the mold device 100a is restricted by the locking portion 39a. That is, the locking portion 39a regulates the inward swing of the distance member 24.
[0084]
(Third Step) As
 shown in FIG. 11, the holder 34 and the die 36 are further moved in the first direction Z1 with respect to the punch 32 and the pad 38 to reach the bottom dead center of molding (molding completion position). , A pressed part 200 having a predetermined molding height is obtained. At this time, the distance member 24 moves in the first direction Z1 together with the holder 34, so that the repulsive force in the second direction Z2 generated in the rocking device 26 increases. That is, the force for swinging the distance member 24 toward the inside of the mold device 100a increases. In this state, the distance between the holder 34 and the receiving member 39 (locking portion 39a) in the vertical direction Z increases, so that the swinging portion 24a can be moved inward, and the distance member 24 becomes a mold device. It swings instantly toward the inside of 100a.
[0085]
 When the swinging portion 24a swings to a position where it contacts the catcher portion 39b, the stopper member 30a moves in the first direction Z1 by being pushed by the elastic member 30c. As a result, the swinging portion 24a is sandwiched between the catcher portion 39b and the stopper member 30a. As a result, the swing of the swing portion 24a is restricted. That is, the swing of the distance member 24 is regulated.
[0086]
 Further, in the state shown in FIG. 11, the movement of the pad 38 in the first direction Z1 relative to the holder 34 is regulated by the swing portion 24a of the distance member 24. As a result, the distance between the holder 34 and the pad body 38a in the vertical direction Z is maintained at or above a predetermined molding height. In other words, in the state shown in FIG. 11, the distance member 24 prevents the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z from becoming a predetermined distance or less. In the present embodiment, the position (position shown in FIG. 11) of the distance member 24 that prevents the distance between the holder 34 and the pad 38 in the vertical direction Z from becoming less than a predetermined distance is referred to as a prevention position.
[0087]
(Fourth Step)
 Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the die 36 moves relative to the first mold unit 20 in the second direction Z2. As a result, the holder 34 and the pad 38 move relative to the punch 32 in the second direction Z2 together with the die 36. As a result, the punch body 32b of the punch 32 moves relative to the pad body 38a of the pad 38 in the first direction Z1. In other words, the punch main body 32b moves relatively in the direction away from the pad main body 38a.
[0088]
 Here, as described above, the distance between the holder 34 and the pad main body 38a in the vertical direction Z is held by the swinging portion 24a of the distance member 24 to be equal to or higher than a predetermined molding height. In other words, both the pressure applied from the holder 34 to the second direction Z2 and the pressure applied from the pad 38 to the first direction Z1 are received by the swing portion 24a of the distance member 24. As a result, it is possible to prevent a large pressure from being applied to the pressed component 200 from the holder 34 and the pad 38. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pressed part 200 from being deformed at the time of mold release.
[0089]
(Fifth Step)
 Finally, as shown in FIG. 13, the first die unit 20 and the second die unit 22 are further separated in the vertical direction Z, and the pressed part 200 is taken out. At this time, the distance member 24 is returned to its original position by the return device 28.
[0090]
(Effect of the present embodiment)
 As described above, in the hold device 1a according to the present embodiment, both the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 are attached to the first mold unit 20 in the same manner as the above-mentioned hold device 1. It is configured to be. Therefore, by using the hold device 1a as in the hold device 1 described above, damage to the distance member 24 and the swing device 26 can be sufficiently suppressed. Further, similarly to the above-mentioned hold device 1, the hold device 1a can be appropriately used in a transfer type press machine.
[0091]
 Further, each component of the hold device 1a according to the present embodiment is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the mold device 100a, similarly to the hold device 1 described above. Therefore, by preparing a spare hold device 1a, even if any component of the hold device 1a fails, the failure can be quickly dealt with by replacing the component. It will be possible.
[0092]
 Further, although detailed description is omitted, similarly to the above-described hold device 1, in the present embodiment as well, the locking operation can be easily adjusted when the die device 100a is assembled to the press machine, and the assembly accuracy of the hold device 1a can be adjusted. Can be easily improved, the hold device 1a can be easily maintained, the running cost can be reduced, and the design man-hours for the mold device 100a can be reduced.
[0093]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the mold device 100a may be configured so that the holding device 1a can be attached and detached, and the configuration of the essential part of the mold device 100a includes a known mold device configuration. Can be used. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the mold apparatus 100a can be suppressed.
[0094]
 Further, when the swing device is provided in the second mold unit 22, it is necessary to provide a member (for example, the outer cam of Patent Document 1) that can cover the distance member 24 from the outside. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the distance member 24 can be swung to the preventive position by pushing the distance member 24 in the second direction Z2 by the swing device 26. In this case, since the configuration of the swing device 26 can be simplified, the mold device 100a can be miniaturized.
[0095]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the swing device 26 generates a force for swinging the distance member 24 by the coil spring 26a. In this case, it is possible to generate a sufficient force while making the swing device 26 compact. Further, by using the coil spring 26a, the forming cycle of the pressed part 200 can be shortened, and the productivity can be improved. Moreover, since the control of the swing device 26 is unnecessary, the production cost can be reduced.
[0096]
 Further, in the hold device 1a according to the present embodiment, the swing device 26 receives a force for swinging the distance member 24 at a position where the distance member 24 receives a load from the pad 38 (in the present embodiment, the receiving member 39). It is transmitted to the distance member 24 at a position (pressing portion 24c in this embodiment) different from (the upper end portion of the swinging portion 24a in contact with the). In this case, damage to the distance member 24 can be sufficiently suppressed as compared with the case where the position where the load is received and the position where the force for swinging is transmitted are the same position on the distance member 24.
[0097]
 Further, in the hold device according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the angle of the swing portion 24a at the in-situ position may be changed. Specifically, in the original position, the position of the upper end of the swing portion 24a may be adjusted to a height substantially equal to the upper surface of the holder 34 and the punch 32. In this case, for example, when the hold device is used in a transfer type press machine, the material 300 can be easily arranged and the pressed parts 200 can be taken out easily, and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.
[0098]
 In the distance member 24, the distance between the position where the load is received and the swing center may be set larger than the distance between the position where the force for swinging is transmitted and the swing center. In this case, the distance member 24 can be quickly moved from the original position to the preventive position. On the other hand, in the distance member 24, the distance between the position where the load is received and the swing center may be set to be equal to or less than the distance between the position where the force for swinging is transmitted and the swing center. In this case, the distance member 24 can be swung with a small force.
[0099]
 In the above-described embodiment, the case where the rocking device 26 is attached to the punch 32 has been described, but the rocking device may be attached to a component of the first mold unit other than the punch 32. For example, the rocking device may be attached to another component fixed to the bolster.
[0100]
 The configuration of the rocking device is not limited to the above example, and the rocking device moves the distance member from the original position to the prevention position as the holder moves relative to the punch in the first direction. It suffices if it is configured to swing. Therefore, for example, an actuator such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or an electric motor may be used as the swing device. When an actuator is used as the swinging device, for example, the swinging device is attached to the support member 25 or the holder 34, and the rotating shaft connected to the distance member is rotated by the swinging device to swing the distance member. May be good. When an actuator is used as the swing device as described above, the actuator can also function as a return device. In this case, the configuration of the mold apparatus can be further simplified. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the coil spring is used as the repulsive force generating part of the rocking device has been described, but the repulsive force generating part includes a tension spring, a torsion coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber, an accumulator, and a gas spring. Etc. may be used alone or in combination. For example, as in the swing device 26 shown in FIG. 15, a gas spring 60 embedded in the support member 27 may be used instead of the coil spring 26a (see FIG. 8). In this case, the gas spring 60 is pressed in the first direction Z1 by the distance member 24 via the transmission member 26b to generate a repulsive force in the second direction Z2. As a result, the transmission member 26b is urged in the second direction Z2.
[0101]
 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the hold device 1a has the four distance members 24 and the four swing devices 26 has been described, but the number of the distance members 24 and the swing devices 26 is three or less. It may be 5 or more. Specifically, the number and arrangement of the distance member 24 and the swinging device 26 can be appropriately changed in consideration of molding conditions such as a press load and a load distribution.
[0102]
 Further, the shape of the swing portion 24a is not limited to the above example. Specifically, the swinging portion 24a does not have to be rod-shaped.
