Definitions
- Our invention relates to device for processing elongated tubular workpieces by pressure waves. Such workpieces can have either a straight or a bent or curved axis. More specifically our invention relates to device for processing such workpieces by pressure waves produced in a liquid medium i.e., underwater for example, by spark discharge.
- the best known measure to be taken in such cases is to employ thin wires that are stretched between the electrodes and vaporized explosively by discharging the condenser.
- the use of ignition wires has a series of disadvantages associated therewith that makes it difficult to automatize this high-speed deforming process which is rather vital for carrying out production-line processing of workpieces by underwater pressure pulses.
- a component of the device employed for carrying out this known high-speed deforming process namely the wire which is exploded, must be replaced after each discharge, so that the performance of a processing cycle takes a relatively long time.
- the length of the processing cycle can, however, still be kept within bearable limits in the case of devices wherein workpieces that are being processed do not surround the wire serving as ignition device, because the introduction of the workpiece into the processing device and the insertion of the ignition device between the electrodes of the spark gap can then be carried out independently of one another and, hence, simultaneously.
- a filament formed of a nonconductive core and a conductive coating thereon is employed as the ignition device instead of the explosive wire, the fact that the nonconductive core is intact after the discharge reduces the problem of inserting the ignition device to a simple process of advancing the filament so that a succeeding length thereof having conductive coating on the nonconductive core thereof newly bridges the electrodes of the spark gap.
- closed or tubular workpieces such as profile tubes for example
- closed or tubular workpieces are always so interlinked with the discharge circuit of the condenser battery in the known devices wherein the electrodes of the spark gap are bridged by an ignition device, that the insertion of the ignition device and of the workpiece can not be effected independently of one another but rather only by maintaining them in sequence i.e., by carrying out the insertions of the ignition device and the workpiece one after the other.
- device for processing elongated tubular workpieces by subjecting them to pressure waves produced in a liquid medium by spark discharge comprising a discharge circuit including condenser means and a spark gap formed of a pair of spaced electrodes electrically connected to the condenser means, an ignition device disposed in the spark gap between the electrodes thereof, structure means. coaxially surrounding the spark gap and forming part of the discharge circuit, the structure means being encirclable by a tubular workpiece so that the workpiece surrounds the spark gap, the structure means being pervious to pressure transmitted through a liquid medium receivable therein and generated by an electrical discharge at the spark gap.
- the structure means forming part of the discharge circuit has a bird cage construction, and, more specifically, is made up of a metal cover plate, a base member of insulating material and a plurality of metallic rods extending between the cover plate and the base member.
- the rods of the structure means are displaceable and adjustable so that the current path therethrough is capable of being set for varying processing lengths.
- one of the rods of the structure means is formed with an elongated bore for supplying the ignition device i.e., the conductively coated filament, therethrough to the spark gap.
- the metallic cover plate and the insulating base plate with respective central projections directed toward the interior of the structure means, the central projections being moreover conical in shape.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, partly schematic, of the device for processing elongated tubular workpieces by means of pressure waves according to the invention
- FIGS. la and lb are cross-sectional views of two different embodiments respectively of the cage-like structure means for the workpiece according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to that of FIG. 1 of another embodiment of the invention having a longitudinal bore in a bar of the structure means, taken along the line IIII in FIG. 2a and including a workpiece mounted therein;
- FIG. 2a is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 with the workpiece omitted;
- FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to those of FIGS. 1 and 2 of yet another embodiment of the invention wherein the electrically conductive structure means is constructed for relatively short spacings of the spark gap electrodes;
- FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to those of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 of a further embodiment of the invention wherein the electrically conductive structure means is adjustable to the respective processing length;
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to those of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of an additional embodiment of the invention for processing bent or curved workpieces;
- FIG. 5a is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 5 with the workpiece omitted.
- Our invention is based on the surprising fact that the widening of sleeve-like or tubular workpieces, such as cylindrical tubes, for example, through radially disposed narrow bars which, as part of the electrical discharge circuit, are surrounded by a tubular workpiece and extend parallel to the axis of the tubular workpiece, is not nonuniform in spite of the fact that parts of the wall of the tubular workpiece are located behind the bars away from the ignition device and in so-called pressure shadows.
- FIGS. 1, la and 1b there is shown an embodiment of the device for processing elongated tubular workpieces by means of pressure waves constructed according to our invention with a cage-like electrically conductive structure means 11 formed of a metallic cover plate 12, a plurality of metal rods or bars 13 and a base 14 of insulating material through the center of which a high-voltage electrode 15 extends.
- the cover plate 12 and the bars 13 which join an electrically conductive base plate 16 provide a current conductive path forming part of a hereinafter-described discharge circuit for the device of ourcinvention.
- the bars 13 of the current-conductive structural member 11 are of relatively narrow construction, with the lateral surfaces thereof extending substantially in radial direction of the current-conductive structural member 11, so as to be pervious to and permit passage through the spaces therebetween of pressure waves, generated by an ignition device 17 in a suitable liquid medium provided in the structural member 11.
- the ignition device 17, in the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1, is in theform of a filament having a nonconductive core covered by an electrically conductive coating.
- the cross section of the rods 13 may be conveniently wedge-shaped or lensshaped, respectively with the side surfaces thereof extending in a substantially radially direction from the center of the current-conducting structural member 11.
- the device of our invention can also be constructed for processing or deforming profile tubes such as tubes having rectangular or other polygonal cross sections for example.
- profile tubes such as tubes having rectangular or other polygonal cross sections for example.
- the cross sections of such profile tubes can also be variable in the direction of the respective axes thereof, the only limitation thereon being that such tubes be capable of being slid over the cage-like, current-conductive structure means 11 of the device.
- the inner space of the structure 11 can be filled with pressure-transmitting medium, such as water for example.
- the inner space of the structure 11 is sealed by annular sealing rings 19 fitted in suitable recesses formed at opposite ends of the structure 11.
- the pressure-transmitting liquid can be supplied to the interior of the structure 11, for example, through a bore 110 formed in the electrode 15, through which the ignition device 17 also extends.
- the base plate 16 and the cage-like current-conductive structure 11 and the workpiece l8 therewith are electrically connected at ground potential.
- the base plate 16 is furthermore connected to the ground terminal of a high voltage condenser 111, while the high-voltage terminal of the latter is, in turn, connected through a switch 112, symbolically shown in FIG. 1 as a threeelectrode spark gap, with a connector clamp or clip 114 which is insulated from the base plate 16 by a suitable sheathing 113 while being in electrical contact engagement with the high voltage electrode 15.
- the discharge of the high voltage condenser 111 is effected by means of an ignition device 17 in the form of a filament having a nonconductive core and a conductive coating thereon then, after a condenser discharge and the conductive coating within the interior space of the structure 11 has been burned away leaving the nonconductive core of the filament 17 within the interior space of the structure 11, the thus-bared core can then be withdrawn through a bore ll5formed in the cover plate 12 and can be severed from that length of the conductively coated filament 17 now disposed within the interior space of the structure 11 so as not to interfere with the introduction to the device of our invention of the next workpiece to be processed.
- the cage-like currentconductive structure is formed of a bipartite metallic cover plate 22, a plurality of metallic rods or bars 23 and a base member 24 of insulating materialformed with a central bore through which a highvoltage electrode 25 extends.
- the bars 23 terminate in a metallic base plate 26 and are encircled by a workpiece 28 that is to be processed.
- the filamentary ignition device 27 is supplied from a roll 21 mounted on the base plate 26 and passes through a bore 29 formed in the base plate 26 and continuing through one of the bars 23 and through the lower part, as viewed in FIG. 2, of the bipartite cover plate 22.
- This lower part of the cover plate 22 is also formed with a groove connecting the bore 22 with a central bore formed in the center of the lower part of the cover plate 22.
- the filamentary ignition device 27 thus does not extend above the cover plate 22 but rather only to the upper surface of the lower part of the cover plate 22 and then returns through the groove and central bore formed therein through the interior space of the cage-like structure and through a bore formed in the high-voltage electrode 25.
- Pressure-transmitting liquid such as water for example

- the electrodes 35 and 35' are adjustably inserted in suitable aligned bores formed in the cover plate 32 and in the base 34 in order to equalize the burn-off of the electrodes 35 and 35' in the contact regions of the spark-over.
- the bars 33 are inserted in suitable recesses formed in an electrically conductive base plate 36 which is at ground potential and is connected with the ground terminal of a highvoltage condenser not shown in FIG. 3.

- a workpiece for example a cylindrical tube, is shown mounted in the device of our invention.
- the cage-like structure member 41 can be adjusted to different processing lengths, provided that the bars 43 are so formed that they have good sliding, electrically-conductive contact with the base plate 46 and can be firmly adjusted.
- This can be effected for example by the use of the tensioning or clamping ring 411. Consequently, in an extreme case, such short spacings between the electrodes 42 and 45 are obtainable that even a free spark-over between the deck plate electrode 42 and the high-voltage electrode 45 is possible.
