Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tool to follow for a stamping press.
  • stampings are formed in one or more parallel rows from a metal strip which is supplied along the axis of the machine.
  • the strip itself which supports the stampings, and which, progressively advancing, serves as a transfer member from one post to the next.
  • This more expensive mode of work is unfortunately not applicable for the production of very deep stampings, as indicated above, because the parts, which are held only by thin metal strands on the strip, tend to be placed across.
  • the invention which aims to remedy this drawback, relates to a tool to be followed which allows the production of very deep stamps, while using an ordinary press and a feed consisting of a metal strip.
  • This tool to be followed is of the type comprising, in a manner known per se and for each unitary stamping station, a punch carried by the upper sole of the tool, itself fixed to the press bush, and also comprising a sole lower, fixed to the press table, which carries a die-carrying plate, each vertical drawing orifice comprising a vertical piston pushed from bottom to top by an elastic repulsion device, such as a jack.
  • This tool is equipped with two additional means: - Support means for the metal strip placed, on the one hand and in the transverse direction, on either side of each pre-stamped when the latter is in line with the punch and the orifice stamping of the corresponding die, and on the other hand under the bottom of this pre-stamped in this position, these three support means being slightly elastically pushed from bottom to top and being retractable vertically by a pressure from top to bottom; and - means for vertical support on the strip, for centering the pre-stamped, and for extracting the stamped during the ascent of the punch, these means being constituted by a rigid horizontal plate, which is free to move vertically between two stops while being pushed elastically upwards, this rigid plate being placed between said strip and the upper sole of the tool and carrying an elastic vertical support member against the upper sole which is pushed very strongly from bottom to top , this same rigid plate further comprising, for each stamping station, a vertical centering tube directed downwards and capable of being traversed, in narrow sliding, by the punch when it descends,
  • this tool to be followed is also such that the body of the piston, placed in the drawing orifice, is hollow and constitutes the body of a single-acting cylinder fed by an orifice which puts in communication the chamber of this jack with the space located under this piston and supplied with compressed fluid, the free end of the rod of this jack carrying the means for supporting the bottom of the pre-stamped.
  • the support means of the strip are constituted by horizontal and longitudinal bars which are mounted at the free end of the vertical rods of jacks, formed in the body of the bottom sole.
  • the die holder plate is provided with longitudinal grooves capable of serving as housings for the bars when they are in the low position.
  • this press tool to follow has an upper sole 1, fixed to the press slide (not shown), and a lower sole 2, fixed to the press table (also not shown).
  • the sole 1 carries a plurality of punches 3, including one punch per elementary stamping station. For example, for each stamping station, there are three identical punches aligned in the transverse direction.
  • FIG. 1 shows a stamping station which is not the first station, so that it is a "pre-stamped" 7, cup-shaped, which is presented on this station, vertically vertical to the hallmark 3.
  • each punch 3 In the vertical alignment of each punch 3, the sole 2 and the plate 4 are crossed by a vertical blind orifice 8 which is, in a very conventional manner, of diameter slightly greater than that of the punch 3.
  • This orifice 8 contains , still in a manner known per se, a piston 9 with vertical sliding which is elastically pushed upwards by means of an air pressure applied by a pipe 10, to the lower part 11 of the blind hole 8 (the assembly 8 at 10 is actually a pneumatic cylinder).
  • the piston 9 is hollow and it constitutes the body of a single-acting pneumatic cylinder, supplied with compressed air by a lower orifice 12 bringing the chamber 13 of this cylinder into communication with the space 11 predefined.
  • This jack comprises a piston 14 and a rod 15, the free end of which carries a horizontal disc 16 on which rests the bottom of the pre-drawn 7, as seen in FIG. 1. Note that with these arrangements, the pressure exerted from bottom to top on the piston 14 is fairly low.
  • the horizontal disc 16 therefore serves as a means of supporting the pre-stamped 7.
  • other elastic support members are provided, one on either side of each pre-stamped 7.
  • these other support members consist of two horizontal longitudinal bars 17,18, mounted at the free end of the vertical rods 19,20 of two pneumatic cylinders 21,22 which are arranged as shown in the body of the lower sole 2.
  • the chambers 23, 24 of these jacks 21, 22 are supplied, under relatively low pressure, with compressed air by means of lines 25 and 26.
  • Two longitudinal grooves 27 and 28 are provided in the plate 4 to receive the bars 17 and 18 when they are in the low position, with the rods 19 and 20 retracted into the chambers 23, 24 of the jacks 21 and 22.
  • the tool comprises four support bars 17 and 18. More generally, for n rows of pre-stamped 7, there will be n + 1 support bars 17.18.
  • this tool comprises a horizontal longitudinal plate 29, rigid and thick, of width substantially equal to or slightly greater than that of the strip 6, this plate being free to move vertically between a lower stop 30, constituted by a protrusion 33 of the plate 4, and an upper stop 31 which is constituted by a disc carried by a vertical baluster 32 fixed in the protrusion 33.
  • the plate 29 is pierced with an orifice 34 for the passage of the baluster 32.
  • balusters 32 which are distributed on the plate 4 so as to guide the plate 29 in vertical sliding, the elastic support of the latter being provided by helical springs 35 which surround each guide column 32 and which tend to push the plate 29 upwards.
  • the piston 38 of this cylinder is therefore pushed upwards, and it is on the free end of its rod 39 that the upper sole 1 comes to bear in order to lower the plate 29 when the slide of the press itself initiates its descent.
  • the rigid plate 29 For each unit stamping station (by "unit station - stamping” is meant the elementary stamping station constituted by a punch 3 and a determined die 5), the rigid plate 29 includes a vertical and cylindrical centering tube 40, directed downwards and whose length, relatively small, is slightly greater than the depth of the pre-stamped 7. This tube 40 is placed vertically above the pre-stamped 7, in which it is able to penetrate to ensure its centering, and it must also allow passage to the punch 3 during its vertical movement.
  • This centering tube 40 is therefore of external diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the pre-stamped 7, with the clearance close to allowing it to slide in this pre-stamped 7, and its internal diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the cylindrical punch 3, here still close to play capable of allowing the sliding of this punch in this tube 40.
  • the plate 29 On either side, in the transverse direction, of each centering tube 40, the plate 29 is equipped with protrusions 41, 42, which are directed downwards and which are vertically vertical to the support bars 17 and 18
  • These protrusions 41, 42 are of length substantially equal to slightly greater than that of the centering tube 40, and they are intended to press on the discs 17, 18 to drive them in the lowering movement communicated, by the press slide, to the upper sole 1 and, via the support cylinder 36, to the rigid plate 29.
  • the press slide starts its descent by driving the sole 1 in the direction of the arrow F.
  • This sole 1 presses on the free end of the rod 39 of the jack 36, but this rod does not sink, because the pressure exerted from bottom to top on the piston 38 is much greater than that exerted from bottom to top on the plate 29 by all of the springs 35.
  • These springs 35 therefore collapse and the plate 29 descends with the sole 1 and the punch 3.
  • the plate 29 drives, when the protrusions 41, 42 have come to bear on the bars 17 and 18, the rods 19 and 20 of the jacks 21 and 22, so that the strip also descends while also causing the concomitant descent of the disc 16, because the pressure exerted on the piston 14 is quite low.
  • FIG. 2 shows the position obtained for the various elements when the plate 29 has come to bear on the lower stop 30: the rods 15, 19 and 20 of the three jacks 8, 21 and 22 have retracted as much as possible, that is to say -to say that the support discs 17 and 18 have returned to the housings 27 and 28, while the support disc 16 is resting on the upper face, then slightly retracted, of the piston 9.
  • the centering tube 40 is, at this stage, entered to the bottom of the pre-drawn 7.
  • the plate 29 can no longer descend.
  • the sole 1 pushes the rod 39 into the body of the jack 36, while the punch 3 penetrates, as shown in FIG. 3, into the die 5 by drawing of the part 7, which it shrinks in diameter and increases in length.
  • the piston 9 of the cylinder 8 is pressed down, and it follows the downward movement of the punch 3.
  • the position of Figure 3 corresponds substantially to the bottom dead center of the slide.
  • the ascent phase of the slide is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4.
  • the stampings 7 all grip the punches 3 very closely, so that the strip 6 rises with the punch 3, carrying with it the centralizing tubes 40 and therefore the rigid plate 29. The latter then comes to bear against its upper end-of-travel stops 31 (position in FIG. 4), which stops its ascent.
  • the tubes 40 play the role of extractors for the stampings 7, so that the punches come out of the stampings 7, while the support bars 17, 18 have returned to the high position.
  • the strip 6 is advanced one step in the longitudinal direction, so that we are finally brought back to the configuration of FIG. 1.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described, this tool being quite the contrary likely to be produced in many equivalent forms.
  • the cylinders 36, 21 and 24 could be replaced by repulsion springs, and the springs 35 by one or more cylinders.
