Then will describe metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention, describe the function of metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31 simultaneously.

Metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method comprises the first step that pipe fitting is set, second step that band plate is set, crooked third step (comprising first bending step and second bending step), the 4th step, the 5th step of shaping and the 6th step of insertion of reeling.Notice that ordinal number given here (first) is in order to illustrate the order of step, even therefore for step adds ordinal number, its content does not have difference yet.For example, second step that band plate is set is equal to the step that band plate is set.

Then will described first to the 6th step be described in concrete mode.

Figure 16 is the key diagram that is illustrated in the first step of carrying out in the metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention that pipe fitting is set and second step of band plate is set.

In the first step of pipe fitting was set, at first, the controller on staff's operation control panel made pipe fitting 13 be installed on the press section 141 shown in arrow b4 so that the press section 141 of honeycomb press unit 131 descends from its holding fix.At this moment, be higher than the hook spare 142 that is installed in press section 141 sides, just the lower end of pipe fitting 13 be placed on and recovered on its entopic hook spare 142 this moment in case pipe fitting 13 rises to.Afterwards, press section 141 is risen to the position that press section 141 is not interfered with the band plate of just installing (corrugated band plate material) 23, and the upper end of pipe fitting 13 is assemblied in the pipe fitting keeper 153 as shown in figure 16, finished the first step that pipe fitting is set thus.

Because in the first step of pipe fitting is set, set in advance pipe fitting 13, so pipe fitting 13 can be placed on the mould 101 (seeing Figure 12) after band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 is reeled in downstream procedures continuously, therefore, help the insertion operation in coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) the insertion pipe fitting 13.

Afterwards, carry out second step that band plate is set.

In second step of band plate is set, the corrugated band plate material 23 that four layers that alternately formed by corrugated part 24 and par 25 in advance constitute is stacked on top of each other, and stacked corrugated band plate material 23 is inserted in the rotation retainer shaft 167 at heart portion 26 places therein, then corrugated band plate material 23 is placed on the platform 95 of die unit 39.

Afterwards, reduce the honeycomb press unit 131 and the pipe support unit 132 of tonnage machine unit 41 integratedly, make corrugated band plate material 23 whereby broad ways remained between them by the press section 141 of honeycomb press unit 131 and platform 95, simultaneously, the pin joint batter 146 (referring to Figure 23 A) that forms in the press section 141 is assemblied on the far-end of rotation retainer shaft 167.

Afterwards, carry out crooked third step (first bending step).

In first bending step, the staff presses control button on the control panel starting first bending unit 36, thus make band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 against the rotation retainer shaft 167 of the central part 26 that keeps this corrugated band plate material 23 to carry out bending.To specifically describe this step below.

Figure 17 is the key diagram that is illustrated in the third step (first bending step) of the bending of carrying out in the metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention.Describe with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7 B simultaneously.

Specifically, in first bending step, corrugated band plate material 23 is by first bending unit 36 and at central part 26 angle of bend θ 1 (for example 90 °), θ 1.

In other words, the bending unit 53,53 of first bending unit 36 slides at synchronous regime lower edge directions X (along the direction shown in the arrow b6) based on the information that the control button of pressing on control panel is given, and rotation retainer shaft 167 is remained on therebetween by material maintaining part 66,66.

At this moment, after rotation retainer shaft 167 was kept by material maintaining part 66,66, the motor 67,67 of bending unit 53,53 can be based on pre-conditioned and start.When motor 67,67 starts like this, screwfeed device 68,68 marches forward shown in arrow b7, b7 to curved mould 71,71, thereby, make corrugated band plate material 23 with bending radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) angle of bend θ 1 (for example 90 °), θ 1 so that remain on the position and the mode that rotation retainer shaft 167 contacts of the central part 26 of the corrugated band plate material 23 in the rotation retainer shaft 167.

After this, bending unit 53,53 returns their initial position, thereby first bending unit 36 is placed wait state.

Figure 18 is the key diagram of the third step (second bending step) that is illustrated in the bending of carrying out in the metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method.Also be described simultaneously with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7 B.

Though second bending step is similar to first bending step substantially, but by with first bending step in the continuous position of crooked bend further start second bending unit 37 (along the direction shown in arrow b8, the b8), make band plate (corrugated band plate material) thus 23 carry out bending against the rotation retainer shaft 167 of the central part 26 that keeps corrugated band plate material 23.

In second bending step, central part 26 at corrugated band plate material 23 (is for example gone for a stroll bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) angle of bend θ 1 with initial volume, 90 °) afterwards, can start second bending unit 37 with corrugated band plate material 23 26 angle of bend θ of place 2 of heart portion (for example, 90 °) therein.

More particularly, the bending unit 53,53 of second bending unit 37 has been got back to the information of its initial position based on first bending unit 36 and has been slided in synchronous regime lower edge Y direction (along the direction shown in the arrow b8) from the information of control module, with rotation retainer shaft 167 by material maintaining part 66,66 with corrugated band plate material 23 begin remain between the described material maintaining part with the part that bending radius r1 reels.

After this, the information that has been kept based on above-mentioned corrugated band plate material 23 by material maintaining part 66,66, motor 67,67 starts, thereby curved mould 71,71 is shown in as arrow b9, b9 under the effect of screwfeed device 68,68 advances forward, whereby so that remain on the mode that the position of the central part 26 of the corrugated band plate material 23 in the rotation retainer shaft 167 contacts with rotation retainer shaft 167, make corrugated band plate material 23 with initial volume bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) the angle of bend θ 2 (for example, 90 °) that goes for a stroll.

After this, bending unit 53,53 is got back to their initial position, thereby second bending unit 37 is placed its wait state.

Thereby, in by the bending step that makes band plate crooked band plate against rotating retainer shaft, because by making band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 against the rotation retainer shaft 167 of the central part 26 that keeps band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 and crooked band plate, so can reduce the initial volume bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) that goes for a stroll.

Thereby, because metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31 comprises: rotation retainer shaft 167, it keeps the central part 26 of band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 and rotates freely; First bending unit 36 and second bending unit 37, they realize crooked in the position of rotation retainer shaft 167; And winder unit 42, it is equipped with the compression roller unit 38 that is suitable for from outside extruded band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23, so by first bending unit 36 and second bending unit 37 band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 contact and bending with rotation retainer shaft 167, and makes the initial volume bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) that goes for a stroll less.Therefore, not only can make the initial volume bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) that goes for a stroll less, and needn't spend too many man-hour and make the initial volume bilge radius of going for a stroll to reduce.

Figure 19 is first key diagram of the 4th step of the coiling carried out in metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention.Notice that as Figure 17, shown in Figure 180 the pipe fitting keeper of pipe support unit 132 is pushed down for 153 this moments, but does not provide this diagram in the drawings.

Figure 20 is second key diagram of the 4th step of the coiling carried out in metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention.Notice that as Figure 17, shown in Figure 180 the pipe fitting keeper of pipe support unit 132 is pushed down for 153 this moments, but does not provide this diagram in the drawings.

In the 4th step of reeling, the central part 26 of band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 is maintained in the rotation retainer shaft 167, and rotation retainer shaft 167 is rotated with coiling band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 around the Z axle, thereby along the direction coiling band plate shown in the arrow c1 (corrugated band plate material) 23, push the coiling band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 that generates from the outside towards axis of rotation M along the direction shown in arrow c2, the c2 simultaneously, make band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 be wound into roughly cylindrical form.

Specifically, got back to the information of its initial position and from the information of control module, the pneumatic cylinder 77 of compression roller unit 38 makes buffer cell 83,83 slide (along the direction shown in arrow c2, the c2) synchronously to press corrugated band plate material 23 with its startup based on second bending unit 37.Be positioned at the information in precalculated position based on pressure roller 38, coiling rotary unit 35 begins operation.

Rotation retainer shaft 167 is rotated with bar 166 by the motor 164 of coiling rotary unit 35 shown in Figure 15, thus coiling corrugated band plate material 23.

With coiling rotary unit 35 coiling corrugated band plate materials 23 in linkage, compression roller unit 38 (along the direction shown in arrow c2, the c2) slides with corresponding with the residue length of corrugated band plate material 23, thereby support the remainder of corrugated band plate material 23 from the outside, so that continue the rotation (referring to Figure 21) of the remainder of control corrugated band plate material 23.

Like this, in the 4th step of reeling, because by keeping the central part 26 of band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 by rotation retainer shaft 167 and centering on Z axle coiling band plate, thereby along the direction coiling band plate shown in the arrow c1 (corrugated band plate material) 23, and from the outside towards axis of rotation M along arrow c2, direction shown in the c2 promotes band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23, make band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 be wound into roughly cylindrical form, so when band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 is reeled, it is lax to be not easy generation in the band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23, thus the band plate of can closely reeling (corrugated band plate material) 23.

Because metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31 comprises compression roller unit 38, so coiling band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 o'clock can be that band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 increases the pulling force opposing by compression roller unit 38, and the remainder of band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 can be around the initial volume less partial continuous coiling of bilge radius r1 (referring to Fig. 1) of going for a stroll.Therefore, longitudinally direct pull band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 is used for the structure of band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 of closely reeling thereby simplified, and has therefore simplified the structure of metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31.

When coiling rotary unit 35 is finished coiling corrugated band plate material 23, die unit 39 is slided (along the direction shown in arrow c3, the c3), thereby carry out the 5th step that is shaped.

Notice that the startup timing of die unit 39 is arbitrarily, for example the staff can operate control button and starts die unit 39, and perhaps die unit 39 can start based on the information of the information of coiling rotary unit 35 and compression roller unit 38.

Figure 21 is first key diagram of the forming step carried out in metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention.

In the 5th step that is shaped, make die unit 39 slips (along the direction shown in arrow c3, the c3) make winding-structure 191 be shaped (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) for having the cylindrical form of predetermined outer diameter with the occasion that generates at winding-structure (winding-structure) 191.

The external diameter of winding-structure (winding-structure) 191 is made as D1.Outer diameter D 1 is a mean value, and D1＞2 * rm (referring to Figure 12).

In the 5th step that is shaped, though be described, it is corresponding with the residue length of corrugated band plate material 23 and carry out clamping but compression roller unit 38 continues to slide (along the direction shown in arrow c2, the c2), when coiling rotary unit 35 is finished coiling corrugated band plate material 23, keep the winding-structure (winding-structure) 191 of generation by first moveable die 123 and second moveable die 124.At this moment, in a single day first moveable die 123 and second moveable die 124 stop promptly staying minim gap between the roller main body 92,92 of gripper shoe 91,91 and compression roller unit 38.

Figure 22 is second key diagram of the forming step carried out in metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method of the present invention.

The buffer cell 83 of compression roller unit 38 is still towards its initial position slip (along the direction shown in arrow c4, the c4), and at buffer cell 83 from moment that mould 101 is removed, first moveable die 123 and second moveable die 124 with the method for synchronization forward (along the direction shown in arrow c5, the c5) advance, mould 101 is therefore closed.

Figure 23 A, Figure 23 B are the key diagrams that inserts the step of pipe fitting from forming step to the honeycomb ceramics that will generate.Figure 23 A represents forming step, and Figure 23 B represents that the honeycomb ceramics that will generate inserts the step of pipe fitting.

Figure 23 A: in forming step, apply surface pressing along the direction shown in the arrow c6 to winding-structure (winding-structure) 191 by close die 101, thereby in the occasion that generates a winding-structure 191 winding-structure (winding-structure) 191 is formed to have predetermined outer diameter Dp the (cylindrical form of Dp=2 * rm).Therefore obtained coiling honeycomb ceramics 12.

Notice that " occasion " is meant that winding-structure 191 reels and remain on state between the press section 141 of the platform 95 of die unit 39 and honeycomb press unit 131 around rotation retainer shaft 167 with here the time.

Like this, in forming step, can make die unit 39 slips (along the direction shown in arrow c3, the c3) in described occasion, so that winding-structure 191 is configured as and has predetermined outer diameter Dp the (cylindrical form of Dp=2 * rm), thereby obtain to have the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 of predetermined outer diameter Dp, coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 can be inserted pipe fittings 13 whereby and can be in following steps (the 6th step) and any interference of its generation.

Afterwards, based on the closed information of mould 101, thereby honeycomb release/insertion unit 34 begins to operate the 6th step that starting is inserted.

Figure 23 B: in the 6th step of inserting, be pushed out by the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 that correspondingly forms winding-structure 191 acquisitions, thereby be inserted in the pipe fitting 13 that links to each other with mould 101.

Specifically, when the motor 177 of honeycomb release/insertion unit 34 shown in Figure 15 starts, the nut portions 181 of screw mechanism 178 is along sliding guide 171 risings (along the direction shown in the arrow c7), thereby hollow push shaft 174 is being released in the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 when raising (slip), utilizes mould 101 as guiding piece coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 to be inserted pipe fitting 13 inside.

At this moment, because push rod 137 raises with the speed identical with the rising speed of hollow push shaft 174, so coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 enters pipe fitting 13 inside at it when mould 101 is deviate from.

Because coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 resiliences that enter pipe fitting 13 inside, thereby its diameter is more bigger and press the inner surface of pipe fitting 13 than outer diameter D p, thereby forms the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 and pipe fitting 13 all-in-one-piece states that so inserts pipe fitting 13.

At last, the pipe fitting 13 that wherein is equipped with coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is removed and finishes a manufacturing cycle from mounting equipment.Subsequently, start second round as shown in figure 16.Note, in different processing, use different equipment to carry out welding.

Like this, because metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assemble method may further comprise the steps: band plate (corrugated band plate material) 23 is wound into roughly tubular; By mould 101 winding-structure is configured as predetermined tubular; And will release and coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is inserted pipe fittings 13 inside by the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 that be shaped to generate, for example do not insert on the device so do not need coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is reinstalled in, therefore help the operation that coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is inserted pipe fittings 13.

Like this, metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31 comprises: winder unit 42, and it comprises rotation retainer shaft 167 and compression roller unit 38; Forming unit 39, it is used to make a winding-structure 191 of reeling around rotation retainer shaft 167 to be configured as to have predetermined cylindrical form the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 of (having outer diameter D p); Pipe support unit 132, it is used for pipe fitting 13 is arranged on location chamfered section 127 places of the edge that is formed at profile 126; And honeycomb release/insertion unit 34, it is used for generating structure (coiling honeycomb ceramics) 12 released (along the direction shown in the arrow c7) from mould 101, and with in the generating structure 12 insertion pipe fittings 13, can under the occasion that generates coiling honeycomb ceramics 12, obtain to be configured as the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 of predetermined cylindrical form, and the coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 that can will so obtain directly inserts pipe fitting 13 under this occasion.Therefore, needn't spend too many man-hour that coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is inserted pipe fitting 13.

At first, extremely shown in Figure 180 as Figure 16, make corrugated band plate material 23 after central part 26 bendings by first bending unit 36 and second bending unit 37, dress roller die tool mechanism 201 has got back to the information of its initial position and has begun its operation from the information of control module based on second bending unit 37.

Figure 30 is first functional diagram that is provided in the dress roller die tool mechanism on the mounting equipment of another embodiment.

Figure 31 is the view that obtains when the direction shown in the arrow XXXI in Figure 30 is observed mounting equipment 31B, shows its enlarged drawing.

At first, dress roller die tool mechanism 201 make roller main body 92,92 slide (along the direction shown in arrow e3, the e3) to the position of axis of rotation M partition distance L1, L1.After this, roller main body 92,92 is cushioned lock cell 212 lockings.

Distance L 1 is less than the radius r of the outer diameter D 1 of a winding-structure 191 of being represented by double dot dash line.

Specifically, when motor 106 starts, thereby when sliding part 202,202 is slided with the method for synchronization by ball screw framework 105 and the 3rd lock unit 107, also make respectively and to be slided together by magnet 205,205 attractions and the sliding part 203,203 that is connected to sliding part 202,202.When sliding part 202,202 slip predeterminable range S1, motor 106 stops based on predetermined information.After this, the information that has stopped based on motor 106 starts the pneumatic means (not shown), cushion lock cell 212,212 simultaneously stop pin 234,234 is assemblied among fixing hole 114a, the 114a (referring to Figure 26,27) of platform 95, thereby buffer cell 83B is fixed with respect to platform 95 one.

Afterwards, the rotation retainer shaft 167 of coiling rotary unit 35 is around the rotation of Z axle, thus coiling corrugated band plate material 23.At this moment, roller main body 92,92 is from the rotation of the remainder of outside control corrugated band plate material 23.

Figure 32 is second functional diagram of the dress roller die tool mechanism of this another embodiment.

When roller main body 92,92 is controlled the remainder of corrugated band plate materials 23, the translations backward shown in arrow e4 of roller main body 92,92 opposing compression spring 93 (referring to Figure 29) are perhaps according to elastic force (along the direction shown in the arrow e5) translation forward of corrugated band plate material 23.

In addition, roller main body 92,92 is according to generation diameter opposing compression spring (referring to Figure 29) translation backward shown in arrow e4 of winding-structure, when the external diameter of the winding-structure 191 (winding-structure) that generates reaches D1, the distance that roller main body 92,92 retreats near Sb.

When coiling was finished, pneumatic means and shaft lock order unit 214 started, thereby cam 236 is pushed in the locating hole 87a in the guide shaft 87.

In detail, in the moment that coiling is finished, the center of locating hole 87a is than the center of cam 236 slightly forward (along the direction shown in the arrow e5), when cam 236 begins to enter locating hole 87a, locating hole 87a retreats (along the direction shown in the arrow e4), meanwhile roller main body 92 also retreats, and roller main body 92 stops to retreat when locating hole 87a retreats center to cam 236, therefore roller main body 92 retreat to than the position of finishing coiling a little (less than the gap Ss among Figure 33) more by the position of back (along the direction of arrow e4), fixing integratedly when roller main body 92 backway Sb then.

After this, mould 101B closure.

Figure 33 is the 3rd functional diagram of the dress roller die tool mechanism of this another embodiment.Also proceed to describe simultaneously with reference to Figure 25.

When being fixed in roller main body 92 under the situation of its going-back position, when the motor 106 of dress roller die tool mechanism 201 and ball screw framework 105 start, sliding part 202,202 all resist magnet 205,205 with the method for synchronization forward (along arrow e6, direction shown in the e6) advances, simultaneously with sliding part 203,203 separately and with them stay the rear, therefore the first moveable die 123B and the second moveable die 124B are advanced forward, thereby in the portion of returning 232 that gripper shoe 91 and roller main body 92 is contained in be formed among the mould 101B, allow the first moveable die 123B and the second moveable die 124B fixed to one another securely in the time of in 232, meanwhile, via sliding part 203,203 exert pressure to a winding-structure 191.By shown in arrow c6, applying surface pressing (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B), form and have predetermined outer diameter Dp (the tubular coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 of Dp=2 * rm) in mould 101B, finishing under this occasion to a winding-structure 191.

Because roller main body 92 was fixed on the position of slightly more leaning on back (along the direction shown in the arrow e4 among Figure 32) than the position of finishing coiling when mould 101B was closed, so roller main body 92 than profile 126 more by afterwards being received, thereby between the outer surface of the outer surface of coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 and roller main body 92 formation gap Ss.

After this, utilize mould 101B, coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 is inserted in (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) pipe fitting 13 by honeycomb release/insertion unit 34 (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) as guiding piece.At this moment because the gap Ss, the Ss that between the outer surface of the outer surface of coiling honeycomb ceramics 12 and roller main body 92,92, form, hollow push shaft 174 (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) with 92,92 interference of roller main body.

Like this, because the mounting equipment 31B of this another embodiment comprises dress roller die tool mechanism 201, so compression roller unit 38 (referring to Fig. 8) needn't be set, therefore for example save second lock unit 78 (referring to Fig. 8), thereby simplified the structure of metal honeycomb catalyst carrier mounting equipment 31B.

In addition, because the mounting equipment 31B of this another embodiment comprises dress roller die tool mechanism 201,, therefore the physical dimension of first order base portion 32 is reduced so compression roller unit 38 (referring to Fig. 8) needn't be set.

In addition, though in said embodiment, metal honeycomb catalyst carrier assembling method and apparatus of the present invention is described as being applied to keep the honeycomb ceramics of catalyst, and the present invention also can be applicable to be used for keeping the honeycomb ceramics of other materials except that catalyst.

Though describe the present invention in detail, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention and can carry out various substituting and modification to the present invention with reference to preferred implementation.
