Definitions
- the present invention relates to load cylinders, and more specifically to load cylinders adapted for compensating imbalances in the force exerted by the load.
- Material-forming installations comprise a press and a die that is arranged in the press.
- the die comprises a matrix and a male between which is arranged the material for forming, the matrix moving towards the male (or vice versa) in order to form it.
- said dies comprise a hold-down board to control the flow of the sheet material, which is moved by the movement of the matrix (or the male).
- the hold-down board also comprises a window through which the male (or matrix) comes out when said hold-down board moves, the metal sheet being formed as a result.
- the down force is achieved by applying a force on the hold-down board through cylinders in the press itself, said cylinders increasing their force as they are compressed by the movement of the die.
- the cylinders comprise a casing and a piston that delimit an internal chamber of the cylinder.
- the piston moves inside the chamber as a result of the movement of the die, causing the reduction in the volume of the chamber.
- One of said cylinders is disclosed, for example, in document WO 2009043594.
- the movement caused by the die in the piston is not completely vertical and causes said piston to exert unwanted forces against at least one of the internal walls of the casing of the cylinder during its movement.
- the piston and/or the casing eventually break, thereby necessitating the replacement of the cylinder with a new one more frequently than is desirable.
- the piece rotates in order to adapt itself to the slope of the surface of the die and always exerts a vertical force on the rest of the piston, regardless of said slope, which moves vertically without generating lateral forces on any of the internal walls of the casing of the cylinder as a result of a misalignment between said die and said piston.
- said semi-circular piece supports and/or compensates the misalignment between the piston and the die and prevents the cylinder from breaking as a result of this problem.
- the load cylinder of the invention comprises a hollow ring-shaped body with a closed first end and an open second end, a piston housed in the ring-shaped body that delimits a fluid chamber, a rod that is housed at least partially in the ring- shaped body through the open second end and which is fixed to the piston, and which can be moved in a longitudinal direction in one sense or the other, and a compensation member to compensate possible deviations in the movement of the rod, which is attached to said rod and on which it acts to cause said movement of said rod.
- the rod comprises, in one end opposite to the piston, a housing where the compensation member is housed.
- the housing comprises a greater width than the width of said compensation member, so that said compensation member can be moved inside the housing in a compensation direction, in one or another sense, to compensate possible deviations in the movement of the rod.
- said compensation member can be moved in the compensation direction, in one or another sense, inside the housing in response to said swinging motion, said compensation member absorbing said swinging motion and applying a vertical force on the piston, so that the piston moves vertically without exerting lateral forces on the side walls of the ring-shaped body caused by said swinging motion.
- the swinging motion of the force that causes the movement of the piston does not affect the cylinder negatively.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment in cross-section of the cylinder of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows, in detail, compensation members of the cylinder of Figure 1.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the cylinder 100 of the invention, which comprises a hollow ring-shaped body 1 with a closed end 1 1 and an open end 12, a piston 9 housed in the ring-shaped body 1 , and a rod 3 which is housed at least partially in the ring-shaped body 1 through the open second end 12, which is fixed to the piston 9, and which can be moved in a longitudinal direction Y in one sense or the other.
- a chamber 4 with fluid between the closed end 1 1 and the piston 9.
- cylinders 100 are generally used in stamping presses, and when the press performs a stamping action it acts on the rod 3, causing its movement in the direction of movement Y in a first sense S1.
- the chamber 4 comprises a fluid in its interior, preferably gas, and when the rod 3 moves in said first sense S1 the fluid is compressed as the piston 9 moves in conjunction with said rod 3, exerting a force F on said piston 9 that increases as the rod 3 moves in said first sense S1.
- the rod 3 returns to its initial position moving in a second sense S2 opposite to the first sense S1.
- the rod 3 comprises a housing 30 on one end 32 opposite to the end 31 of said rod 3 by means of which it is fixed to the piston 9.
- the cylinder 100 comprises a compensation member 5 to compensate possible deviations in the movement of the rod 3, which is housed in the housing of said rod 3 and on which acts a load (a die in the press, for example) to cause the movement in the first sense S1 of said rod 3.
- the housing 30 comprises a greater width than the width of said compensation member 5, so that said compensation member 5 can be moved in a compensation direction X, in one or another sense, inside the housing 30.
- the contact surface 50 of the compensation member 5 is supported on a support surface 33 of the rod 3, with the compensation member 5 sliding on said support surface 33 when it moves in the compensation direction X.
- the contact surface 50 is preferably made of a material with a low friction coefficient, such as copper, thereby facilitating said movement.
- the compensation member 5 is made entirely of said material with a low friction coefficient.
- the compensation member 5 comprises a plurality of grooves 51 in the contact surface 50 which extend along the entire contact surface 50 and which are designed to receive lubricant and help said compensation member 5 to slide.
- the lubricant used may be any known lubricant, oil for example, and its purpose is to aid the movement of the compensation member 5 in the compensation direction X when necessary.
- the number of grooves 51 depends on the needs of the cylinder 100, and it can be sufficient in some cases to use a single groove 51 (or even no grooves 51 ). Rather than being arranged in the contact surface 50 of said compensation member 5, the groove 51 (or grooves) can be arranged on the support surface 33 of the housing 30 of the rod 3.
- the cylinder 100 of the invention can also comprise an additional compensation member 6 arranged on the compensation member 5, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in contact with said compensation member 5.
- the load acts directly on the additional compensation member 6, which transmits said action to the compensation member 5, which in turn transmits it to the rod 3, causing the movement of said rod 3 in the first sense S1.
- a contact surface 52, 60 between both compensation members 5 and 6 is circular, so that if a force F1 exerted by the load on the additional compensation member 6 is not vertical (an unbalanced force) due to a misalignment between the contact surfaces between the rod 3 and the load, a force F1 shown in Figure 2 with dotted lines, said additional compensation member 6 balances in relation to the compensation member 5 in response to the misalignment, in a balancing direction B in one sense or the other according to what is required, and transmits said force F1 to said compensation member 5 in a substantially vertical manner, causing a vertical movement of the rod 3 in the first sense S1.
- the contact surface 60 of the additional compensation member 6 is concave, and the contact surface 52 of the compensation member 5 is convex, although the reverse is also possible: the contact surface 60 of the additional compensation member 6 being convex, and the contact surface 52 of the compensation member 5 being concave.
