Definitions

  • a sheet-like sheet metal blank which is formed in several stages to the desired can body.
  • This forming process comprises several forming stages, which are usually carried out in succession. Only in this way can the desired high degrees of deformation be achieved.
  • WO 2008/067522 A1 a manufacturing line for the production of beverage cans from circular disc-shaped sheet metal blanks known. These are first transferred in appropriate forming machines in a cup shape. These cup-shaped intermediate moldings are then passed into further forming machines, which produce the desired can body in a so-called ironing-drawing process from the cup-shaped intermediate moldings.
  • the WO 2009/052608 A1 suggests the transformation of a planar board to the can body in two stages in one perform single tool. This comprises two counter-acting drawing dies, which are arranged coaxially with each other. The result is a Stülp-drawing process, which places high demands on the formability of the material used.
  • the tool according to the invention combines the transformation of a planar board into a cup and the forming of the cup into a can body in a two-stage operation in a tool. This eliminates the one hand, the need to hold for the Napfher too and for subsequent to the Napfher too ironing-pulling process separate special machines. In addition, because the tool according to the invention and the method according to the invention do not require an upthrusting process, a simple and reliable production process is obtained.
  • the invention can be implemented particularly advantageously in the production of can bodies from materials which tend to work hardening.
  • the Napfher too and the subsequent ironing-drawing process for producing the can body follow each other so closely in time that the deformation-induced heating of the cup for the post-stretching ironing-drawing process is at least largely retained.
  • Hardening, as they could be done during transport on the way from a Napfautomaten to Abstreckautomaten, are thus excluded or minimized. This contributes to the creation of a robust and reliable manufacturing process.
  • the inventive concept also allows a clear separation between moving and stationary tool parts.
  • the moving drawing dies are both associated with a moving tool part, for example an upper tool.
  • the corresponding countershapes and counterplant surfaces are assigned in the stationary tool part, for example a lower tool.
  • the displacement or force control of the drawing punch can be made as required by components of the press, which reduces the tool costs. If necessary, can be dispensed with expensive possibly controllable springs, hydraulic devices, pneumatic devices, actuators and the like in the tool.
  • These components can be associated with the inventive concept of the press and thus realized press side. Even if a more extensive tool park for different doses is kept, this is no special effort.
  • FIG. 1 a forming machine 1 is illustrated by a tool 2 is added for the production of can bodies.
  • the tool has a stationary in the forming machine 1 arranged lower tool part 3 and on this to and away from this linearly movable upper tool part 4.
  • the tool parts 3, 4 can be arranged vertically above one another, but if necessary also in a different spatial orientation, for example next to one another or one behind the other.
  • the direction of movement of the upper tool part 4 is vertical.
  • the direction of movement can also have any other suitable spatial orientation.
  • the upper tool part 4 is associated with a drive device 5, which moves the individual components of the upper tool part 4 in a suitable manner or applied with force.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the tool 2 in more detail.
  • the upper tool part 4 comprises a plurality of concentric to a central axis 6 arranged parts, namely a first drawing punch 7, a second drawing punch 8 and a hold-down ring 9.
  • the first drawing punch 7 is tubular. At its lower end face it can be provided, if necessary, with a pressure ring 10, which is particularly wear-resistant and tuned in its sliding properties on the material to be processed.
  • the first drawing punch 7 is connected to that part of the drive device 5 which is suitable for moving the drawing punch 7 in a position-controlled manner in the direction of the central axis 6. Further, the drive device 5 is preferably designed so that it controls the operation of the drawing punch 7 from a position-controlled operation on a force-controlled operation can switch.
  • the first die 7 is the hold-down ring 9 associated with the corresponding biasing means, such as a spring assembly 11 and pressure pins 12, 13, 14, 15 (see FIG. 1 ) is connected to the first punch 7 to define a defined, in FIG. 2 To generate indicated by arrows 16 force.
  • biasing means such as a spring assembly 11 and pressure pins 12, 13, 14, 15 (see FIG. 1 ) is connected to the first punch 7 to define a defined, in FIG. 2 To generate indicated by arrows 16 force.
  • the second drawing punch 8 which is also associated with the upper tool 4, is arranged movably in an inner channel of the first drawing punch 7 along the central axis 6. Its lower end face 17 preferably corresponds to the desired inner shape of the can body to be produced.
  • the lower tool 3 includes several parts that are in FIG. 2 for the sake of simplicity, are shown as a single part.
  • the lower tool 3 has, on the side facing the upper tool 4, a preferably flat surface 17 for supporting a printed circuit board 18 preferably designed as a round disk.
  • the surface 17 forms the counter bearing surface for the hold-down.
  • a stepped passage 19 is formed in the lower tool 3.
  • the channel 19 initially has a diameter which is greater than the outer diameter of the first drawing punch 7.
  • the passage 19 passes over a diameter which is smaller than the outer diameter of the first drawing punch 7, but larger than the outer diameter of the second drawing punch 8. If the drawing punch 7 moves into the through-channel 19, it defines with the channel wall an annular gap, the width of which results from the following functional description. Moves the second drawing punch 8 in the narrower, lower Part of the passage channel 9 a, he defined with the channel wall turn an annular gap whose width also results from the following functional description. The same applies to the distance between the step 20 and the surface 17.
  • the upper tool 4 is moved to the lower tool 3.
  • the hold-down ring 9 sets on the board 18 and pushes them with controlled force against the counter-contact surface 21.
  • the counter-system 21 is that part of the surface 17 which surrounds the passage 19 directly.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the tool 3 after completion of the cup-pulling operation.
  • the hold-down ring 9 is now inoperative.
  • the first drawing punch 7 has moved the resulting cup so far into the passage 19 in that the bottom 24 arrives at the stage 20.
  • the pressure ring 10 presses from the inside to the bottom 24 and thus against the stage 20.
  • the first drawing punch 7 changes from its drag function to hold-down function.
  • the corresponding drive of the drawing punch 7 can be designed so that it can assume different operating modes.
  • the first drawing punch 7 is moved away during the drawing process (eg position-controlled). This can be done by a suitable, dependent on a drive gear or by position-controlled drives.
  • the drive of the drawing punch 7 switches, for example, to force-controlled (eg force-controlled) operation.
  • force-controlled eg force-controlled
  • suitable spring means if necessary, be provided in their power controllable or switchable spring means.
  • force sensing and force control can be provided if suitable drives are provided.
  • the pestle in question is moved by a drive (e.g., servo drive) according to a predetermined path-time curve.
  • a drive e.g., servo drive
  • force-controlled operation the plunger is acted upon by a force that is brought into conformity with a predetermined force or a predetermined force curve.
  • the second drawing punch 8 moves in the same direction as before the now resting drawing punch 7 forward (ie down here).
  • the movement of the second drawing punch 8 may also have started earlier, but the second drawing punch 8 does not come into contact with the bottom 24 during the drawing operation of the bowl.
  • the FIG. 5 is shown. This affects the kraftbeaufschlagte first drawing punch as hold-down, which controls the material of the cup controlled in the annular gap between the second punch 8 and the narrower part of the passage channel 19 can slide. In this second drawing process, the desired can body is produced.
  • the wall thickness of the can body is reduced and adjusted to a desired level.
  • the direction of the working stroke of the first drawing punch 7 coincides with the direction of the working stroke of the second drawing punch 8.
  • the drawing punches 7 and 8 are thus moved in the same direction.
  • the first and the second drawing process thus also take place in the same direction, ie in one and the same tool, one after the other and in the same direction.
  • draw rings 25, 26 which are arranged one above the other in an axial distance in the wall of the passage 19.
  • the annular gap formed between the drawing rings 25 and 26 and the drawing punch 8 determines the wall thickness of the can body to be formed.
  • the draw rings 25, 26 calibrate the outer diameter of the can body. The process is called stripping.
  • the can body production takes place in two stages.
  • the first drawing punch 7 is active, while the second drawing punch 8 is inactive, so does not act on the material of the can body.
  • the first drawing punch 7 acts as a hold-down while the second drawing punch 8 is active and causes the drawing and stripping.
  • the material of the board 18 is zigzagged. From the horizontal orientation, which is predetermined by the surface 17, it first passes in parallel in the vertical direction to the central axis 6 to form the cylinder wall. From this, the material flows quasi z-shaped, ie in a right-left bend over the step 20 to form the can wall. Umstülpvor réelle in which the wall material would be bent twice as the diameter decreases in the same direction, are avoided.
  • a special tool 2 is created, which combines both the Napfher too well as the transformation of the cup to the can body in a tool 3. It is assumed that preferably round plates 18, which are first drawn to a well in a Abstreckprocess of the tool 2 in a first step to wells and then in a second drawing process, the washerzug- and sliding-drawing-ironing, are stretched to can bodies. The draw directions are the same in both work stages. This results in simple, robust tools and a simple, robust manufacturing process.
