Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing curved Hollow profiles through a combination of extrusion presses and bending and an apparatus for performing the method.
  • Extrusion processes for different materials are in many different ways Form known. Mainly come aluminum, copper alloys, but also steel and titanium are used. For the material Aluminum is the extrusion process in detail in the aluminum pocket book Pages 269 - 296 shown.
  • JP-A-03 047615 describes a method and an apparatus for Production of curved hollow profiles, whereby during the Bending a gas under pressure inside the Hollow profile is included. At a distance from the A guide member is arranged with a guide hole. By moving the guide member transversely to the extrusion direction there is a curvature of the hollow profile.
  • the object of the present invention is a method and to develop a device of the type mentioned that or with a simple means a defined curvature Extruded products in repeatable approximately predictable Way possible, even with complicated hollow profile cross sections the cross-sectional areas in the bent state compared to the cross-sectional areas of the straight profile should remain unchanged. Under "complex cross sections" especially those with large wall thickness differences, but also understood such profiles that have a small wall thickness have based on the circumscribing circle of the extruded profile.
  • any bending radii can act on the strand possible.
  • the workpiece experiences when exiting the die in a bending or shear load at the same temperature, whereby the stress distribution in the press channel of the extrusion die being affected.
  • the device according to the invention can also a ring shape of the workpiece can be generated.
  • the Forming tool brought into a suitable position and there fixed.
  • the workpiece can also have a constant Curvature or with an increasing or decreasing curvature as a coiled tubing or in spiral form.
  • multiple devices for bending the extruded profiles can also be used, however, one after the other Apply lateral forces to the extruded profile.
  • lateral forces to the extruded profile For example can be used to create spatially curved profiles several leadership roles on separate delivery devices one or more roller cages arranged one behind the other be combined.
  • the required forming force can be achieved by rolling as well can be applied to the profile using fixed tools. But there are also other active media such. B. gases, fluids or electric / magnetic fields for the generation of a suitable Forming force applicable. Instead of a forming roll or one Fixed sliding shoe must be used in the case of the use of active media the zone of influence of the active media is brought close to the workpiece must be, for example, when using electromagnetic A suitably shaped magnetic coil in immediate fields Be brought close to the strand.
  • the extrusion device consists of a stamp 1, a block sensor 2, in which the stamp 1 in the direction of the arrow is insertable, and a die 4, which is in Seen pressing direction against a crosshead 5 supports.
  • the bending radius R By moving the pressure roller 7 transversely to the direction of extrusion the bending radius R can be influenced. It is for the person skilled in the art can easily see how he can by a suitable Control or regulation position the pressure roller 7 or can orientate that a predetermined curvature achieved both in level and in spatial training becomes. This is not only the formation of the workpiece curvature on one level, but also in any room multiple changes in the feed direction possible, so very complex workpiece geometries with the device according to the invention are producible.
  • FIG. 2 a further embodiment of the extrusion and bending device according to the invention is shown.
  • a sliding surface 8 generating a transverse force is shown immediately following the die holder 5.
  • this can be adjustable or, as shown in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, can be arranged in a stationary manner. This allows curved structures to be produced in a simple manner.
  • a roller cage is used in a corresponding manner to apply the transverse force, so that depending on the positioning relative to the die, different deformations with radii R 1 and R 2 can be applied to the strand.
  • the device according to the invention it has now been possible to solve the manufacturing problems of curved problems in that the workpiece simultaneously with or immediately after the shaping Extrusion process deformed with a precisely controllable force becomes.
  • the workpieces leave with defines the curved longitudinal axis of the extrusion device, wherein the curvature of the workpiece can be adjusted in a defined manner in the longitudinal axis is.
  • the workpiece cross sections formed in the extrusion die 4 are influenced in such a way that they are not parallel to each other emerge from the die, but stand at an angle to each other, the size of the angle by the geometry and the Positioning or orientation of those applying the transverse force Device is determined.
  • the following is a procedure for determining the delivery route of the bending or guiding tool depending on the contour of the bent workpiece and the pressing path at a constant Radius shown.
  • the workpiece contour is specific to the geometric during manufacture Boundary conditions linked.
  • the contour has to be because of the manufacturing process match with the die and tangentially to the exit axis, d. H. stand perpendicular to the exit plane.
  • the infeed path z can be determined with the known distance a from the exit plane depending on the radius using the secant equation (see Figure 1);
  • the contour to be produced is generally described as a space curve in a coordinate system, so for any point on the one hand, the coordinates themselves are determined and continue with the methods of curve geometry a tangent vector for this point can be calculated. With this tangent vector, the according to the above conditions with the exit axis is identical, the delivery path of the guide tool can simple calculations can be determined. It is still possible to determine the length of the contour, so that the delivery path as Function of the press path can be specified.
  • the contour can for the control program of a manipulator or the like available as a function or as a table of values. In picture 2 is the geometric approach for any contour.
  • Figure 4 is the production of twisted profile sections shown.
  • the strand 15 emerging from the die 14 becomes inserted in a roller cage 16, the roller axis 17 around rotated an angle ⁇ relative to the vertical profile edge 18 is.
  • the hatched area 19 represents the profile opening in the die 14 is in a view against the pressing direction.
  • the roller cage is in front of the die by an angle ⁇ twisted against the orientation of the profile.
