Definitions
- the invention relates to a press, in particular a cutting and forming press according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such presses have long been known for forming, cutting or punching workpieces.
- a ram which can be moved back and forth in a straight line in the press housing, is used to deform the workpieces.
- the press essentially consists of a press stand and an engine.
- the press is in particular a cutting or forming press.
- the press stand has a work area for receiving the workpiece to be deformed.
- a ram for reshaping the workpiece is slidably mounted in the work area.
- the engine has at least one eccentric shaft rotatable about an eccentric axis with an eccentric and at least one connecting rod.
- the connecting rod has a connecting rod foot which is connected directly or indirectly to the eccentric and a connecting rod head which is connected directly or indirectly to the tappet in an articulated manner.
- the ram can be displaced between a rest position and a working position in the work space of the press in order to deform a workpiece.
- the rest position corresponds to the top dead center of the vertical press axis and the working position corresponds to the bottom dead center of the ram.
- the at least one connecting rod and the eccentric are arranged and connected to the tappet in such a way that the distance between the connecting rod head and the eccentric axis is smaller in the working position (i.e. at the bottom dead center of the connecting rod) than in the rest position (where the connecting rod is at top dead center) ). This ensures that the course of the ram stroke is flatter in the area of the working position than in the area of the rest position. A slower forming of the workpieces with relatively high stroke rates is possible.
- the degree of flattening of the ram stroke is determined by the ratio ( ⁇ ) between the eccentric radius and the connecting rod length. According to the features of the invention, the ratio ⁇ is preferably large, i.e. if possible 0.5 or larger selected.
- the engine ie the eccentric, the connecting rod (s) and any connecting links are above the horizontal plane defined by the rest position of the ram arranged.
- Such an engine arranged above the work area leads to a number of advantages in the operation and design of the press.
- the formed parts or waste can simply be removed from the work area downwards.
- the space requirement of the press below the work table is small, which means smaller footprint and better usability of the press.
- space beneath the work table remains free for adding hydraulic cylinders or other means as a shaping aid and for manipulating the machined or machined workpiece.
- the engine is guided in the press stand in the direction of force application, whereby forces directed transversely to the direction of force application are supported.
- the ram can have one or more, preferably two or four pressure columns for exerting a force on the ram, which are guided laterally with guide means such as sliders in the press stand. Lateral engine forces are thus supported by means of the sliding pieces, which ensures that even with eccentric tappet loading by the tool, the pressure columns only act on the tappet with forces parallel to the direction in which the force is exerted. So there are no engine-related side forces on the ram.
- the direction of force is understood here and below to mean the direction of movement of the ram.
- the direction of movement of the ram is generally vertical.
- the lateral support of the pressure columns which advantageously takes place at the upper end of the pressure columns, means that the force is always transmitted vertically to the ram.
- the engine advantageously has one or more transverse yokes which connect the connecting rod to the pressure columns and / or the eccentric.
- the transverse yokes allow force to be exerted evenly with an eccentric shaft and a connecting rod on two pressure columns arranged side by side.
- the pressure columns can preferably be connected to the plunger by means of height-adjustable threaded spindles and with overload protection.
- the distance between the ram and the table top can be changed with the threaded spindles and adapted to the respective conditions.
- the eccentric shaft is arranged offset by a distance from the axis of symmetry of the engine.
- the setting the downward movement of the ram is slowed down as a whole, but in particular in the area of the bottom dead center. This favors the forming process.
- the upward movement of the ram takes place in a shorter time than with a centrally arranged eccentric shaft, so that the time lost during the working stroke is compensated for during the return stroke. This results in a given degree of deformation higher productivity of the parts to be produced.
- the eccentricity of the eccentric can be adjustable.
- the connecting rod is mounted on the eccentric and is articulated to the pressure columns via one or more transverse yoke (s).
- the cross yoke and the plunger can advantageously be designed such that the cross yoke is supported in the plunger. This measure practically prevents the ram from tipping over when the tool is eccentrically loaded.
- a transverse yoke on the eccentric and to connect it in an articulated manner to the pressure columns and to a connecting bracket connecting the pressure column by means of at least two, preferably four connecting rods.
- the connecting lug and the plunger can advantageously be designed such that the connecting lug is supported in the plunger. This measure also tilts the ram when the load is off-center avoided by the tool.
- the provision of four connecting rods can also be advantageous with a lower drive.
- connecting rods which connect a transverse yoke to the pressure columns, has very special advantages. Because the force is distributed over several connecting rods, preferably four connecting rods, they can be designed with a smaller connecting rod length than the known one and the connecting rods cannot be supported directly on the always relatively large eccentric diameter. This means that for a given ram stroke (which is defined by the eccentricity of the eccentric), a ratio of eccentric radius (lambda) to connecting rod length that is particularly favorable for the forming process can be selected. In particular for small-stroke presses up to around 400mm, despite the small Hunib, it is possible to choose the value Lambda so that a sufficiently flat curve of the ram movement can be achieved at bottom dead center.
- the lambda value for all embodiments of the invention is about 0.4 to 0.6. Arrangements with one or more connecting rods are conceivable for a ram stroke of more than 400 mm.
- the cutting and forming press shown in FIG. 1 in the rest position R has a frame for the press stand 1, which is stiffened at the front and rear by insertable transverse walls 27.
- a ram 2 is guided in the press stand 1 by means of guides 17.
- the cutting and forming press has an engine for generating a stroke movement of the ram.
- the engine essentially consists of an eccentric 24 on an eccentric shaft 3, a connecting rod 19 and transverse yoke plates 21.
- the eccentric shaft can be driven by means of known drive means.
- the press also has a working space 28 for receiving a workpiece to be deformed.
- the plunger 2 is slidably mounted in the guides in the working space 28 between a rest position R and a working position A.
- the work space 28 has a table top 18 on which the tool is placed.
- a connecting rod foot 31 of the connecting rod 19 is mounted on the eccentric 24.
- the connecting rod head 32 is seen from the eccentric shaft 3 and is arranged pointing away from the working space 28 of the press.
- the connecting rod head is articulated with a bolt 20 on the two transverse yoke plates 21.
- the transverse yoke plates 21 are articulated with bolts 22 to pressure columns 7.
- the pressure columns 7 are connected to the plunger 2 via threaded spindles 11 in the pressure columns 7 and via load limits 12.
- the plunger 2 defines a horizontal plane H in the rest position R.
- the engine i.e. in particular the eccentric 24, the connecting rod 19, the pressure columns 7 and the yoke plates 21 are arranged above the horizontal plane H.
- the engine is also designed such that, in the rest position R, the distance a between the eccentric axis 33 and the articulation point of the connecting rod head 32 is greater than in the working position (see FIG. 1b).
- the slowing down of the ram movement at bottom dead center is determined by the ratio between the eccentric radius r and the connecting rod length 1.
- the ratio lambda is approximately 0.5.
- the threaded spindles 11 have adjusting spindles 10, by means of which they can be rotated.
- the distance between the plunger 2 and the table top 18 can thus be changed or the be adapted to the respective conditions.
- the two threaded spindles 11 are coupled to one another, that is to say they rotate synchronously, which ensures parallel adjustment of the plunger 2.
- the lateral engine forces are supported by means of support flanges 13 at the upper end of the pressure columns 7 and adjustable sliding pieces 14, which are guided in guides 15.
- the connecting rod pulls to work.
- the support of the lateral engine forces by means of the sliding pieces 14 ensures that, even with eccentric tappet loading by the tool, the pressure columns 7 only act on the tappet 2 with vertical forces, so that no engine-related side forces act on the tappet 2.
- the ram 2 does not slide in the horizontal direction due to the guides, even when the load is off-center, which results in longer tool life.
- the purely mechanical engine enables simple and reliable coupling of the feed and any transfer devices. Tool monitoring and control are also easy.
- a mass balance 23 is arranged below the eccentric and the connecting rod.
- Fig. 1 is particularly suitable for presses with a relatively high ram stroke, in particular more than 400mm. With such high tappet strokes, the ratio of lambda 0.4 to 0.6 can also be achieved with a relatively large connecting rod.
- Fig. 1b the press from Fig. 1a is shown in the working position A.
- Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of Fig. 1 in plan view and partially in section along the plane II - II of Fig. 1.

- 4 is the Transverse yoke plate 25 additionally supported in the plunger 2. So that the cross-yoke plate can be fitted well into the ram, adjustment devices (not shown) are attached to the leg. This measure practically prevents the ram from tipping over when the tool is eccentrically loaded. Otherwise, the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is identical to that shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 shows the embodiment from FIG. 4 in a top view and partly in section according to the plane II-II from FIG. 4.
- FIG. 5 shows how the transverse yoke plate 25 is supported with its end in the plunger 2.

- the connecting rods 5 are seen from the yoke 4, ie from the eccentric shaft 3 seen from the working space 28 of the press.
- the connecting rods are connected by means of a bolt 9 to a connecting bracket 6 and to the pressure columns 7.
- the bolts 9 transfer the workers to the pressure columns 7.
- the pressure columns 7 have threaded spindles 11 which are coupled to the plunger 2 via load limits 12.
- the threaded spindles 11 can be rotated and thus the ram distance 18 can be changed or adapted to the respective conditions.
- the threaded spindles 11 are coupled and therefore rotate synchronously. The parallel adjustment of the plunger 2 is thus ensured.
- the lateral engine forces are guided by means of support flanges 13 at the upper ends of the pressure columns 7 and by means of slide pieces 14 in guides 15 and are thus supported.
- bias cylinders 30 are provided, which prevent the thread play of the threaded spindle 11 in the pressure column 7.
- connection from the yoke 4 to the pressure columns 7 is made by means of four connecting rods, small pin diameters result and the connecting rods 5 can therefore also be made short.
- a value of the ratio ⁇ between the eccentric radius r and the connecting rod length l, which is between 0.4 and 0.6, can thus be achieved even with a relatively small working stroke of the ram 2.

- FIG. 13 shows a view with two counter-rotating eccentric shafts 3.
- the sliding pieces 14 are loaded much less and this only when the ram is eccentrically loaded. If two tappet drives according to FIG. 13 are arranged one behind the other, a four-point drive of the tappet is also obtained, on which, even when the tappet 2 is eccentrically loaded, no horizontal forces caused by the engine also act.
- FIG. 14 shows a top view, partly in section, of the arrangement according to FIG. 13 with counter-rotating eccentric shafts 3.
- Fig. 15 the stroke of the ram is shown over a work cycle of three different designs of eccentric presses.
- the solid line I shows the curve of a ram in a press according to the prior art. (The connecting rod presses to form). The speed of the ram (i.e. the slope of the stroke) is relatively high in the area of bottom dead center. Curve I is based on a press with an eccentric / connecting rod ratio of lambda of 0.2.
- Curve II shown in broken lines, shows the stroke course of a press with the features of the invention.
- the forming in the bottom dead center takes place when the connecting rod pulls. Thanks to the forming with a connecting rod under tension and thanks to an eccentric / connecting rod length ratio of lambda 0.5, the stroke curve is flattened in the area of the bottom dead center, which leads to better forming results.
- the dash-dotted curve III shows a press as in curve II with a set.
- the curve before the lower one Dead center is also flattened, whereas the ram quickly moves away from it after bottom dead center.
- the time of the entire cycle remains the same, but the forming speed is also reduced.
