Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for producing sheet metal components.
- Methods and devices for producing dimensionally stable sheet metal components are disclosed in the prior art, see for example DE 10 2007 059 251 A1, DE 10 2008 037 612 A1, DE 10 2009 059 197 A1, DE 10 2013 103 612 A1, DE 10 2013 103 751 Al, the production being carried out in at least two stages (forming processes).
- the first stage an in particular flat blank is formed into a preform.
- the preform has a surplus of material that is distributed as evenly as possible. This additional excess material is compressed in the direction of the sheet level in the second stage, known as calibration.
- the previous concepts envisage producing a preform which essentially corresponds to the final geometry, with the preforming tool being designed with its effective surfaces essentially on the effective surfaces of the calibration tool.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a generic method and a generic device with which a final component geometry can be produced which has as little or no deviation as possible from the final component geometry (desired geometry).
- the method for producing a sheet metal component comprises at least two steps: Preforming a sheet metal into a sheet metal preform having in cross section a base, at least one frame, at least one transition between base and frame, optionally at least a flange in some areas and optionally, at least in certain areas, a transition between frame and flange a preforming tool which acts on the sheet metal with its active surfaces, the resulting sheet metal preform having excess sheet metal material at least in regions; and final forming of the sheet metal preform into a sheet metal component in a calibrating tool, which acts on the sheet metal preform with its active surfaces and in which the excess sheet metal material is compressed essentially in the plane of the sheet, and the sheet thickness in particular increases at least in regions.
- the effective surfaces of the preforming tool of the sheet metal preform to be produced are set up in comparison to the effective surfaces of the calibration tool of the sheet metal component to be produced in such a way that when comparing the preforming tool and calibration tool when considering the difference angle between the two main axes of inertia, which are oriented in the same way in relation to the respective cross-sectional shape, through the centers of gravity of a torsion angle difference of at least 0.2° is set between two parallel cross-sectional surfaces at a distance of 100 mm from the tool gap enclosed by the respective effective surfaces.
- the approach according to the invention avoids deformation (torsion/twisting and/or bending) of the spring-back sheet metal preform compared to the final component geometry by suitably designing the effective surfaces of the sheet metal preform, so that the better the spring-back sheet metal preform corresponds to the final sheet metal component, the more dimensionally accurate the result the calibration will fail and the simpler the process control can be, especially in the calibration tool but also in any other subsequent processes that may be provided.
- the torsion angle difference is thus the angle increment when comparing the preforming tool and the calibration tool when considering the difference angle between the main axes of inertia, which are oriented in the same way in relation to the respective cross-sectional shape, through the centers of gravity of two parallel cross-sectional areas at a distance of 100 mm from the tool gap enclosed by the respective effective areas and is at least 0, 2°, in particular at least 0.5°, preferably at least 0.7°, preferably at least 1°, more preferably at least 2° and more preferably at least 3°.
- the effective surfaces of the preforming tool are set up in comparison to the effective surfaces of the calibrating tool in such a way that in the sheet metal preform to be produced before springback, compared to the sheet metal component to be produced, a curvature in the longitudinal extension of the sheet metal preform before springback is set at least in some areas, which is at least 1 %, in particular by at least 2%, preferably by at least 5%, preferably by at least 7%, particularly preferably by at least 9%, from the variable curvature in the longitudinal extension of the sheet metal component to be produced.
- the changing curvature of a component can be described as the curvature of an imaginary B-split nes, which is defined by the centers of gravity of the local cross-sections, i.e. the intersection points of the main axes of the cross-section. If along the main axis in the longitudinal extension of the component, z. B. a section is made every 50 mm through the sheet metal component and sheet metal preform, the center of gravity of the cross-section lines is determined in each case and then these intersections are connected using B-splines in particular compensated preform tooling.
- the sheet metal preform before springback deviates, for example, by more than 5% from the curvature of the sheet metal component to be produced at the same point or in the same area, the sheet metal preform is considered to be compensated with regard to the longitudinal curvature of the sheet metal component.
- the sheet metal preform can be produced in one or more steps by means of any combinable shaping process.
- the preforming can, for example, include a deep-drawing-type shaping step.
- a multi-stage shaping can also be carried out, including for example embossing of the base to be created and raising the frames to be created or setting down the flanges to be created. Any combinations of folding and/or bending and/or (ver) embossing are also conceivable.
- the deep-drawing that is carried out, for example, for the preforming can in particular be carried out in one or more stages. Forming can preferably be carried out without active material flow control for the production of the sheet metal preform.
- Compression/calibration is understood to mean finish shaping of the sheet metal preform, which can be achieved, for example, by one or more pressing processes. Excess sheet metal material is provided at least in regions in the sheet metal preform produced. The excess sheet metal material in the sheet metal preform has, at least in certain areas, a developed length in cross section which is between 0.5% and 6% longer in relation to the developed length of the finished sheet metal component (desired geometry). The developed length of the cross sections of the sheet metal preform considered in this way is in particular between 0.7% and 4.3% longer than that of the finished sheet metal component.
- the unwound length of the cross sections should vary too much, if the unwound length was too short, there would not be enough excess sheet material available for the subsequent calibration process, which would affect the dimensional accuracy of the final Component would be affected. If, on the other hand, the unwound length of the cross-section of the sheet metal preform under consideration is too large, the oversized sheet metal material would collapse into waves during the subsequent calibration process, which can mean an optical and/or dimensional defect. In addition, there is an increased risk of tool damage due to excessive compression forces or protruding, crushed component areas, such as sheet metal edges.
- the essentially completely formed sheet metal component can in this respect be understood as a finally formed sheet metal component.
- the finished sheet metal component can be subjected to further processing steps that modify the sheet metal component, such as the introduction of connection holes and/or a small amount of final trimming.
- the aim is to design the calibration mold in such a way that no further forming steps are necessary apart from any post-forming operations that may be required, such as turning off flanges or the subsequent introduction of embossing.
- Compression of the at least partially excess sheet material in the plane of the sheet causes a superimposition of compressive stress within the sheet material and homogenization of the inhomogeneous residual stress state is generated, with which a high degree of dimensional accuracy of the sheet metal component calibrated in this way can be set.
- the sheet metal preform produced and the finished sheet metal component essentially have a longitudinal extent and a transverse extent, with the longitudinal extent being greater than the transverse extent in most sheet metal components in terms of dimensioning. So cross-section means a cut through the transverse extent of the sheet metal preform/sheet metal component.
- At least one side of the sheet metal component is provided with a flange section that is provided at least in some areas in the longitudinal extent and/or transverse extent, in particular on both sides of the sheet metal component, which is used, for example, to connect to other components and is also referred to as a joining flange.
- the frame is provided at least on one side of the sheet metal component in the longitudinal extension, in particular on both sides of the sheet metal component, the sheet metal component having a cross-section that is essentially hat-shaped, for example, with a frame on each side, the frames being identical but also with different depths, in particular can be carried out in the course of their longitudinal extension.
- the base is formed integrally with the frame via a further transition area and, depending on the complexity of the sheet metal component to be produced, does not have to be on one level. be restricted, but can also be provided in some areas on different levels in the longitudinal and/or transverse extension.
- the transitions between the individual levels in the floor area can be designed in steps or curved, in particular, one can speak of a so-called cranked design.
- the sheet metal component can also have shapes other than in the longitudinal direction or in the longitudinal direction, for example it can be curved, C-shaped or L-shaped.
- the active surfaces of the preforming tool can advantageously be set up in comparison to the active surfaces of the calibration tool in such a way that in the sheet metal preform to be produced in comparison to the sheet metal component to be produced there is a frame opening angle difference of at least 0.5°, in particular at least 1°. preferably at least 3°, preferably at least 5°, particularly preferably at least 8°, further preferably at least 10° at the same point.
- the frame opening angle is the maximum angle by which the component frame can be rotated inwards in relation to the effective direction of the press ram around an axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal component in the transition area between the frame and the base of the component before an undercut occurs in the tool.
- the frame opening angle difference is the difference between the local frame opening angle of the sheet metal preform, in particular the compensated sheet metal preform or the compensated preforming tool, and the local frame opening angle of the sheet metal component at the same point or in the same cross section.
- the considered cross-sections or cross-sectional areas of the sheet metal preform and the sheet metal component are in the same plane.
- a steel sheet with a yield point Re of at least 400 MPa is used. The higher the yield point of the sheet steel, the less favorable the springback and/or torsion of the sheet metal preform, so that reliable process control in the calibration tool can no longer be ensured.
- the yield point can be at least 500 MPa, preferably at least 600 MPa, preferably at least 700 MPa.
- the object mentioned at the outset is achieved in a generic device, with at least one preforming tool for preforming a sheet metal into a sheet metal preform having in cross section a base, at least one frame, at least one transition between base and frame, optionally at least a flange in some areas and optionally at least one in some areas Transition between frame and flange, which acts on the metal sheet with its active surfaces, the sheet metal preform having excess sheet metal material at least in regions; and with at least one calibration tool for compressing the sheet metal preform into a sheet metal component, which acts on the sheet metal preform with its effective surfaces and in which the excess sheet metal material is compressed in the plane of the sheet, the effective surfaces of the preforming tool of the sheet metal preform to be produced compared to the effective surfaces of the calibration tool of the sheet metal component to be produced are set up in such a way that when comparing the preforming tool and the calibration tool when considering the difference angle between the two main axes of inertia, which are oriented in the same way in relation to the respective cross-section
- the active surfaces of the preforming tool have been adjusted in such a way that the expected deviations of the sheet metal preform from the target geometry of the sheet metal component are mapped in the opposite direction in advance.
- a spring-back sheet metal preform will deform by X° around the main axis in the longitudinal extension (twisted/twisted on itself), so that the effective surfaces of the preforming tool are corrected and adjusted in such a way that the sheet metal preform is previously in contrary- ter direction is intentionally twisted by an approximately adequate amount. This ensures that the spring-back sheet metal preform after relief essentially corresponds to the required target geometry of the sheet metal component to be produced and the sheet metal preforms produced in this way can be safely inserted into the calibration tool and the calibration result can be improved.
- the active surfaces of the preforming tool are set up in comparison to the active surfaces of the calibration tool in such a way that a frame opening angle difference of at least 0.5° is set at the same point in the sheet metal preform to be produced in comparison to the sheet metal component to be produced.
- the device comprises a calibration tool with a calibration stamp, a calibration die and an element or optionally multiple elements, the element being arranged in the calibration die and being movable relative to the calibration die.
- the contour of the calibration stamp and the calibration die essentially corresponds to the base, the frame and the optional flange as well as the transition areas between base and frame and optional frame and flange of the target geometry of the sheet metal component.
- the element, which is arranged in the calibrating die is used to position the sheet metal preform before upsetting/calibrating the sheet metal preform on the calibrating stamp.
- the calibration tool can comprise a calibration stamp, a calibration die and an element or optionally several elements, the element being arranged in the calibration stamp and being movable relative to the calibration stamp.
- the calibration stamp is arranged at the bottom and the calibration die at the top in the calibration tool and can be moved relative to one another.
- the element is arranged in the calibrating die, moves in particular by a ram stroke, i.e. together with the calibrating die, in the direction of the calibrating die, presses the sheet metal preform down and positions it on the calibrating die with a force fit, for example using a spring, wedge driver, hydraulics or pneumatics.
- a ram stroke i.e. together with the calibrating die, in the direction of the calibrating die, presses the sheet metal preform down and positions it on the calibrating die with a force fit, for example using a spring, wedge driver, hydraulics or pneumatics.
- the calibration stamp is arranged at the top and the calibration die at the bottom in the calibration tool and can be moved relative to one another.
- the element is arranged in the calibrating stamp, moves in particular by the ram stroke, i.e. together with the calibrating stamp in the direction of the calibrating die, presses the sheet metal preform down and positions it in the calibrating die with a force fit, for example using a spring, wedge driver, hydraulics or pneumatics.
- a force fit for example using a spring, wedge driver, hydraulics or pneumatics.
- the element arranged in the calibration die or optionally several elements are moved in a controlled manner, for example via the ram stroke and/or additional control units, which can be driven, for example, by means of springs, wedge drivers, hydraulics or pneumatics, such that during the closing of the calibration tool results in a defined distance between the element and the calibration stamp, which is not fallen below until the element has been retracted completely flush in the calibration die.
- This defined distance is preferably selected in such a way that during the closing of the calibration die in the area of the element no impermissibly large force acts on the sheet metal component to be calibrated and, for example, the surface of the finished component is not impermissibly damaged by the element and/or the calibration process is not impermissibly impeded and/or the excess material introduced into the ground, for example, is deformed inadmissibly. If the element is inserted flush into the calibrating die during the ram stroke, no further relative movement can take place between the element and the calibrating die, with the result that the element together with the calibrating die form a closed effective surface without a shoulder. In particular, the element ends essentially flush with the active surface of the calibrating die during closing before the lower end position is reached.
- the device comprises a calibration tool with a calibration stamp mounted on the press bed, a calibration die mounted on the press ram and a protruding element or optionally several protruding elements, the protruding element being arranged in the calibration stamp and being movable relative to the calibration stamp.

- the protruding element can, for example, protrude from the calibration stamp by up to 30 mm, in particular up to 15 mm or preferably up to 5 mm, but >0 mm. Positioning at a defined height can have an advantageous effect on the position of the sheet metal preform when the calibrating tool is closed and, for example, prevent the sheet metal preform from being jammed between moving parts of the calibrating die, for example when lateral slides are provided.
- the calibration tool may comprise a calibration punch, a calibration die and a protruding element or optionally a plurality of protruding elements, the protruding element being arranged in the calibration die and being movable relative to the calibration die.
- the calibration stamp is arranged at the bottom and the calibration die at the top in the calibration tool and can be moved relative to one another.
- the element is arranged protruding in the calibration stamp and positively positions the inserted sheet metal preform at a defined height, for example by means of springs, wedge drivers, hydraulics or pneumatics above the calibration stamp.
- the previously protruding element is preferably arranged in its lowermost position in the calibrating die in such a way that a closed effective surface without a step results and the element and calibrating die essentially correspond to the geometry of the sheet metal component to be produced.

In this way it can be achieved that during the actual calibration process the surface of the finished sheet metal component is not impermissibly damaged by the protruding element. is damaged and/or the calibration process is not unacceptably impeded and/or the excess material introduced into the floor, for example, is unacceptably deformed.
- the protruding element or optionally the protruding elements in the calibrating stamp are combined with a leading element or optionally several leading elements in the calibrating die.

- FIG. 2 shows a perspective representation of a simulation of a sheet metal preform and a sheet metal component resulting therefrom. Description of the preferred embodiments (Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention)
- FIG. 1 a sequence of an embodiment of a method according to the invention or a device (100) according to the invention is shown schematically in a sectional illustration.
- the method according to the invention for producing a sheet metal component (3) comprises at least two steps.
- the method comprises preforming a metal sheet (1) into a sheet metal preform (2) having a base (2.1), at least one frame (2.2), at least one transition (2.4 ) between base (2.1) and frame (2.2), optionally at least in some areas a flange (2.3) and optionally at least in some areas a transition (2.5) between frame (2.2) and flange (2.3) in a preforming tool (10), which with its effective surfaces (10.1, 10.2) acts on the sheet metal (1), the sheet metal preform (2) having excess sheet metal material (4) at least in regions.
- the method includes final shaping of the sheet metal preform (2) into a sheet metal component (3) in a calibration tool (20), which acts on the sheet metal preform (2) with its active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) and in which the excess sheet metal material (4) is compressed in the plane of the sheet (E).
- the sectional representations of the preforming tool (10) and calibration tool (20) shown relate to a section in the area of a sheet metal preforming end or sheet metal component end.
- the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) of the sheet metal preform (2) to be produced are set up in comparison to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) of the sheet metal component (3) to be produced in such a way that when comparing the preforming tool (10) and calibration tool (20) when considering the difference angle between the two main axes of inertia (A2, A3), which are oriented in the same way in relation to the respective cross-sectional shape, through the centers of gravity of two parallel cross-sectional areas (Ql .l, Ql .2, Q2.1, Q2. 2) a torsion angle difference (tdiff) of at least 0.2° is set at a distance of 100 mm.
- tdiff torsion angle difference
- the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) can be set up in comparison to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) so that in the sheet metal preform (2) to be produced in Compared to the sheet metal component (3) to be produced, a curvature in the longitudinal extension of the sheet metal preform (2) is set at least in some areas, which deviates by at least 1% from the curvature in the longitudinal extension of the sheet metal component (3) to be produced.
- the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) compared to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) can be set up such that in the sheet metal preform (2) to be produced in comparison to the sheet metal component to be produced (3) a frame opening angle difference (zdiff) of at least 0.5° is set at the same point.
- a flat metal sheet (1) for example, is unwound and cut to length as a defined blank or blank from a metal bundle Acoil, not shown, and made available for further processing.
- the metal sheet (1) is preferably made from a steel material, preferably from a high-strength steel material, for example with a material thickness of between 0.5 and 4 mm. Alternatively, aluminum materials or other metals can also be used.
- the metal sheet (1) is first preformed using common methods in such a way that the geometry of the sheet metal preform (2) is provided with excess sheet metal material (4) for the further process.
- the sheet metal preform (2) can be preformed, for example, by means of crash forming or, alternatively, by means of deep drawing with a spaced sheet metal holder, or alternatively by means of deep drawing.
- the sheet metal preform (2) is produced, for example, in a preforming tool (10), the flat sheet metal (1) being placed in the open preforming tool (10) using suitable means that are not shown here, and in which the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the Preforming tool (10) act on the sheet (1).
- the excess sheet material (4) provided at least in certain areas in the sheet metal preform (2) during the production of the sheet metal preform (2) removes the excess sheet metal material (4) required for upsetting/calibrating, in particular in the base (2.1) of the sheet metal preform (2 ), for example in the form of introduced waves, embossing, bulging, arching, and/or in particular in the frames (2.2) and/or in the optional flanges (2.3) of the sheet metal preform (2), for example by lengthening the same, in the preforming tool ( 10) taken into account.
- the production of the sheet metal preform (2) is not limited to a preforming tool (10), but can take place in two or more stages or preforming tools (not shown here), depending on the complexity of the sheet metal component (3) to be produced.
- the design of the sheet metal preform (2) is characterized by flexibility and offers many possibilities for achieving a suitable sheet metal preform (2) due to geometric freedom.
- This sheet metal preform (2) should be geometrically oriented as closely as possible to the final geometry of the sheet metal component (3).
- the sheet metal preform (2) is removed from the preforming tool (10), which has springback and/or torsion as a result of an inhomogeneous state of stress introduced in the sheet metal preform (2).
- compensation measures in the form of changed active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) compared to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) have been taken in order to obtain a sheet metal preform (2) that has the target geometry of the sheet metal component (3) comes as close as possible. Fluctuations in springback and/or torsion are measured in the calibration tool
- the sheet metal preform (2) has, at least in some areas, a developed length in cross section (Q) which is between 0.5% and 6% longer in relation to the developed length of the sheet metal component (3).
- the sheet metal preform (2) is removed from the preforming tool (10) and still has a deviation from its target geometry caused by various influencing variables.
- the sheet metal preform (2) is placed in a calibration tool (20) which has a calibration stamp
- the calibration tool (20) can comprise an element (23) which is arranged in the calibration die (22) and can be moved relative to the calibration die (22).
- the sheet metal preform (2) that has been inserted is first fixed or securely clamped between the element (23) and the calibrating stamp (21).
- the effective surfaces (20.1, 20.2) act on the sheet metal preform (2) and the excess sheet metal material (4) is compressed in the sheet metal plane (E) by means of compressive stress superimposition, so that the sheet metal preform (2) essentially becomes the Target geometry corresponding sheet metal component (3) is finish formed.
- the superimposition of compressive stress or compression in the plane of the sheet metal (E) takes place via an effect on the excess material in the sheet metal preform (2) in the form of, for example, linear or wavy extended component cross-section segments with simultaneous blocking of the sheet metal preform via its edges in cross section (Q).
- This is done, for example, by the barrier (21.1) in the calibration stamp (21).
- slides can also be arranged in the calibration tool to block off the edges of the sheet metal preform.
- the torsion angle difference (tdiff) thus corresponds to the angular increment of the difference angle between the main axes of inertia that are oriented in the same way in relation to the cross-sectional shape (A2, A3) of the effective surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) of the sheet metal preform (2) to be produced in comparison to the effective surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) of the sheet metal component (3) to be produced between the based on the main axes of inertia (A2, A3) of the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) oriented in the same cross section in comparison to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) in two parallel cross sections (Ql .1, Ql .2, Q2.1, Q2.2) at a distance of 100 mm.
- the cross sections (Ql .1, Q2.1) and (Ql .2, Q2.2) are, for example, congruent, ie they are each at the same point on the sheet metal preform (2) and on the sheet metal component (3) or in the preforming tool ( 10) and calibration tool (20).
- the main axes of inertia (A2, A3) can be congruent, for example.
- a sheet metal component (3) made of a steel material with a yield point of 440 MPa and a thickness of 1.5 mm was first methodically designed within the framework of an FE simulation and then implemented on the tool side.
- High-strength and ultra-high-strength steel materials have shown in the past that the sheet metal preforms produced using the previous procedure deviate from the desired target geometry due to their tendency to strongly pronounced unwanted springback and/or torsion effects in such a way that neither a secure insertion in the calibration tool nor a satisfactory one calibration result can be achieved.
- the difference between the sheet metal preform and the desired geometry relates in particular to an excessive torsion of the entire sheet metal preform (2') caused by springback.
- reference number (2′) shows the sheet metal preform that would result if a sheet metal preform (2′) were produced conventionally from a high-strength steel material.
- the torsion on the conventionally produced sheet metal preform is very pronounced compared to the end of the sheet metal component of the finished sheet metal component (3) and can no longer be sufficiently reduced in the subsequent processes or cannot be safely further processed.
- the unwanted springback and/or torsion of the sheet metal preform (2) can be essentially compensated.
- a counter-torsion to the conventionally produced alignment of the sheet metal preform (2 ') can be set and implemented on the tool side, so that in the Execution according to FIG. 2, a torsion angle difference (tdiff) of 5° is set in order to preform a sheet metal preform (2) which corresponds very closely to the target geometry.
- tdiff torsion angle difference
- a corresponding device (100) was implemented on the tool side and the sheet metal preform (2) could be finished into a sheet metal component (3) with high process reliability in the calibration tool (20).
- the active surfaces (10.1, 10.2) of the preforming tool (10) compared to the active surfaces (20.1, 20.2) of the calibration tool (20) can be set up so that in the sheet metal preform (2) to be produced compared to the sheet metal component to be produced (3) a frame opening angle difference (zdiff) of at least 0.5° is set.
- a frame opening angle difference (zdiff) of at least 0.5° is set.
- this approach was also taken into account with a body opening angle difference (zdiff) of 5°, in particular to prevent an undercut in the preforming tool (10).
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown.
- Other sheet metal component shapes are also possible and require correspondingly adapted tool contours.
- flangeless sheet metal components can also be manufactured with essentially reduced springback.
- the tools (10, 20) can be designed as interchangeable tools and used in a production line, in particular in a press line, transfer press or progressive press.
