Optimization Design of Evaporator Tube Plate Mold Based on PDX

Current tube plate stamping die usually have some common problems, which include low standardization, low standard penetration and long mold design cycle. By analyzing stamping die used in the refrigeration industry, the cold-drawing dies blanking needs to be designed and optimized. Compared with the previous design methods, the method, that the Pro/E plug-PDX was used to design cold-drawing dies blanking with refrigeration equipment, has a lot of advantages. First, cycle was shortened to one-third of the original; second, the compound pressing method is able to reduce the pressing step and increase stripping device, in order to improve the reasonable structure and production efficiency. The new method proposed in this paper is able to increase design efficiency, shorten design cycles, reduce workload and improve the accuracy of the mold design, and reduce the cost of mold design.
