Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for forming from a sheet blank of a cover, also called bottom, comprising a peripheral rim intended to be fixed on the edge of an opening of a container.
  • the present invention also relates to a metal cover obtained by this process.
  • the covers are generally produced by stamping and comprise a peripheral rim intended to be fixed on the edge of an opening of the container and at least one step making it possible to stiffen this cover.
  • the thickness of the cover must be relatively large and the material constituting this cover must have a high elastic limit.
  • the material constituting the lid must have a low elastic limit.
  • the resistance of the cover to impacts is an important condition which is satisfied by virtue of a high thickness and an elastic limit of the material constituting said cover.
  • the reduction in the weight of the cover is an important significant economic aspect which can be resolved either by reducing the thickness of the cover material, or by reducing the flat surface of the sheet blank intended for forming said cover.
  • the thickness of the material varies between 0.10 and 0.26 mm and the elastic limit of this material varies between 490 and 670 Mpa.
  • the sheet blank is cut and the crimping rim is first formed, then at least one stiffening step is formed on this cover.
  • the stamping device comprises a punch for forming the peripheral rim during a first step and a matrix for forming the step during a second step.
  • the cover has a harmful warping for the stacking, the transfer of the covers and the subsequent operations, for example jointing, crimping.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method and a device for forming a metal cover. of a container making it possible to increase, on the one hand, the elastic resistance of the material at the level of the steps and, on the other hand, the pressure of non-return of the cover after the sterilization of the food contained in the container, while decreasing the thickness of the material of this cover and the flat surface of the sheet blank intended for forming said cover.
  • the invention also makes it possible to obtain a cover of steel with high elastic limit not exhibiting buckling.
  • the invention therefore relates to a method of forming from a sheet blank of a cover, also called bottom, comprising a peripheral rim intended to be fixed on the edge of an opening of a container and at least a step of stiffening said cover, characterized in that the edge of the sheet blank is maintained over its entire periphery and, successively, said step is formed, then the peripheral rim is formed.
  • the invention also relates to a device for forming from a sheet blank of a cover, also called bottom, comprising a peripheral rim intended to be fixed on the edge of an opening of a container and at least a step for stiffening said cover, characterized in that it comprises a blank holder for the edge of the sheet blank over its entire periphery, means for forming the peripheral rim and means for forming said step, said means being distinct and movable independently of each other to form during a first step said step and during a second step said peripheral rim.
  • the invention also relates to a cover comprising a peripheral rim intended to be fixed on the edge of an opening of a container and at least one step of stiffening, characterized in that it is obtained by the process mentioned above. above.
  • a metal cover for example a steel designated as a whole by the reference 1 and intended to be fixed for example by crimping or by rolling on the edge of an opening of a container not shown.
  • This cover 1 formed from a sheet blank has for example a circular shape and comprises a peripheral rim 2 and at least one step 3 for stiffening the central part of said cover.
  • the cover 1 comprises a step 3, but this cover 1 can comprise several steps 3.
  • the method of forming the cover 1 from the sheet blank 1a consists of maintaining the edge of the sheet blank 1a over its entire periphery and, successively forming the step 3, then forming the peripheral rim 2.
  • the forming device shown in FIG. 2 comprises a blank holder 10 from the edge of the sheet blank 1a over its entire periphery, means 20 for forming the peripheral rim 2 and means 30 for forming the step 3.
  • the means 20 and 30 are distinct and movable independently of each other to form, during a first step, the step 3 and during a second step, the peripheral rim 2.
  • the blank holder 10 is formed by an upper blank holder 11 also called a stamping die and by a lower blank holder 12.
  • the means 20 for forming the peripheral rim 2 are formed by a punch 21 adjacent to the lower blank holder 12 and the nose 21a of which has a shape corresponding to the shape of the peripheral rim 2 of the cover 1.
  • the means 30 for forming the step 3 are formed, on the one hand, by a first matrix 31 movable and adjacent to the punch 21 and, on the other hand, by a second movable die 32 and disposed opposite said first die 31.
  • the face 31a of the first matrix 31 disposed opposite the second matrix 32 has a protruding imprint 33 and the face 32a of the second matrix 32 disposed opposite the first matrix 31 has an imprint 34 disposed opposite the imprint 33 projecting from the first matrix 31.
  • the imprints 33 and 34 are of complementary shape.
  • the punch 21 forms a housing 13 for the first die 31 and in which said first die 31 can slide.
  • At least one compression means for example a spring 14, is interposed between the bottom of the housing 13 and the first die 31.
  • Said compression spring 14 is calibrated to a determined value as will be seen later.
  • the forming device comprises an ejector 15 of the cover after its formation, said ejector 15 being disposed between the upper blank holder 11 and the second die 13 and facing the punch 21.
  • the second matrix 32 has external peripheral dimensions slightly smaller than the external peripheral dimensions of the first matrix 31 to allow the creep of the metal between the upper blank holder 11, the punch 21 and this upper matrix 32 during the forming of the peripheral rim 2.
  • the device operates as follows.
  • the first die 31 is, under the effect of the compression springs 14, in the high position such that the imprint 33 projecting from said first die 31 is located above the nose 21a of the punch 21.
  • the assembly constituted by the upper blank holder 11, the ejector 15 and the second die 32 gradually descends so that, during a first step, the edge of the sheet blank 1a is maintained over its entire periphery between the upper blank holder 11 and the lower blank holder 12 (Fig. 3) and so that, during a second step, the step 3 is formed by the imprint 33 projecting from the first matrix 31 and by l impression 34 in hollow of the second matrix 32 (FIG. 4).
  • the compression springs 14 are calibrated to a value greater than the force exerted by the second matrix 32 on the first matrix 31 to prevent the descent of this first matrix 31 during the step formation 3.
  • the descent of the first die 31 relative to the fixed punch 21 causes the peripheral rim 2 to form between the nose 21a of the punch 21, the ejector 15 and the dies 31 and 32 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the assembly constituted by the upper blank holder 11, the ejector 15 and the second die 32 rises as shown in FIG. 6, by driving the cover 1 thus formed and the descent of the ejector 15 causes the cover 1 formed to be ejected as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the forming device according to the invention makes it possible to form the step 3 just after the cutting of the sheet blank.
  • this step is carried out when the periphery of the sheet blank is retained between the upper blank holder and the lower blank holder. Consequently, this pinched surface does not collaborate, or very little, in the deformation of the step 3.
  • the lid obtained by the method according to the invention swells less and the deformation which follows after elastic return of said lid is decreased by 10%.
  • An analysis of the thickness profile of the cover produced by the method according to the invention shows that the top of the step is thinner than with a method according to the state of the art.
  • the metal is more hardened which explains a better ability of the cover obtained by the method according to the invention, to return to its original shape after its deformation during the sterilization of food contained in the container.
  • the volume of metal required to form the cover by the method according to the invention is therefore less since there is a thinning at the top of the step.
  • the decrease in the volume of metal required being less, the cutting diameter of the sheet blank from which the cover is formed, can therefore be reduced, which makes it possible to lighten the cover.
  • Tests carried out on 73mm diameter covers obtained by the process according to the invention show a gain of 0.5% in material, ie a reduction of 0.3mm in the cutting diameter of the sheet blank.
