It is to be understood that the invention is capable of other embodiments and that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention and the description and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
For further explanation of the principles and construction of the present invention, reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for forming a head 1, including the steps of:
and S1, pressing and forming the upper top circle 11 of the seal head 1 in sections.
Specifically, the step S1 includes:
s11, cutting the central panel to make it circular.
A sheet of center plate to be cut is provided, the material of the center plate to be cut may be stainless steel or other hard metal, and the shape may be round, square or other regular or irregular shape.
The center plate to be cut is positioned and the edge of the center plate to be cut is cut so that the center plate is substantially circular.
S12, the cut central panel is placed on a pressing device and pressed to form an upper top circle 11 having a predetermined curvature.
The upper dome 11 may be spun from the central plate by a spinning device. The spinning is to fix a flat blank on a die of a spinning device, and a pressing hammer or a spinning wheel is used for pressing the blank while the blank rotates along with a main shaft of the spinning device so as to generate local plastic deformation; under the combined action of the feeding motion of the press hammer or the rotary wheel and the rotating motion of the blank, the local plastic deformation is gradually expanded to the whole surface of the blank and is tightly attached to the die, and the spinning processing of the part is completed. Wherein the spinning device can be a drum press.
The spinning process for the center plate may be: and pressing from outside to inside along the circumferential direction of the central plate by using a pressing hammer of a spinning device, namely spinning the outer ring of the central plate along the circumferential direction of the central plate, pressing the adjacent area of the outer ring inwards, and so on until the pressing of the centremost area of the central plate is finished, and finally obtaining the top circle 11 of the upper part.
By the above press forming process, not only the center panel can be formed (i.e., the upper dome 11 is shaped like a pot), but also the ductility of the upper dome 11 is improved by the press forming process.
After the process of step S1, the upper top circle 11 shown in fig. 2 is obtained in the shape of an inverted pot, that is, the opening of the upper top circle 11 faces downward, and the diameter of the top-to-bottom opening gradually increases. The top of the top circle 11 of the upper part is transited to the bottom arc and is consistent with the radian of the end socket 1.
After the process of step S1 is completed, the surface of the upper vertex circle 11 may be smoothed by a thinning process.
In one embodiment, the height of the upper dome 11 is approximately 60% of the height of the entire closure 1. In actual application, the method can be selected according to specific situations.
S2, rolling and forming the lower outer ring 12 of the seal head 1;
referring to fig. 3, S2 includes:
and S21, providing a plurality of plates.
S22, cutting each plate to obtain a plurality of fan rings 121.
Each provided plate can be a rectangular plate or a plate with an irregular shape. In one embodiment, the plate is cut into a fan shape, and then the upper portion of the fan shape is cut off to obtain the fan ring 121 of the lower portion. In another embodiment, the fan ring 121 can be obtained by directly cutting the fan ring 121 in a rectangular plate.
Specifically, the fan ring 121 includes a first arc edge, a second arc edge, and two straight edges connected between the first arc edge and the second arc edge. The center of the circle where the first arc edge is located coincides with the center of the circle where the second arc edge is located, and the central angle of the first arc edge is the same as that of the second arc edge. Specifically, the fan ring 121 is blanked along the cone-like shape of the head 1. The cone-like shape of the end socket 1 is a cone formed by taking the top point of the end socket 1 as the top point, taking the circle with the maximum diameter at the bottom of the end socket 1 as the bottom circle and extending a plurality of side edges from the top point to the bottom circle, wherein the cone is the cone-like shape of the end socket 1. The central angle of the fan ring 121 thus corresponds to the conical-like central angle of the closure head 1. In one embodiment, the fan ring 121 has a central angle of 324 °.
And S23, splicing the fan rings 121, and rolling to form the lower outer ring 12.
In one embodiment, all the fan rings 121 forming the lower outer ring are spliced together, and then the spliced fan rings 121 are rolled to finally form the annular lower outer ring 12.
In another embodiment, the fan rings 121 forming the lower outer ring 12 may be divided into a plurality of sets of fan rings 121, each fan ring 121 is rolled after being spliced, and finally the rolled sets of fan rings 121 are spliced together.
Specifically, referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, step S23 includes:
s231, after the fan rings 121 are spliced, winding to form a first outer ring.
For example, referring to fig. 5, the straight edges of the fan rings 121a are connected to the straight edges of the fan rings 121b in a butt joint manner to form an assembly of the fan rings 121a and 121b, and then the straight edges of the third fan ring 121c are connected to one of the straight edges of the assembly in a butt joint manner to obtain an assembly of the fan rings 121a, 121b and 121c, which is then connected in sequence to obtain an assembly of a plurality of fan rings, and then the assembly is wound to obtain a first outer ring.
The splicing among the fan rings is completed through automatic welding by a welding robot, so that a large amount of time is saved, the welding deformation is reduced, and the welding quality is improved.
And S232, splicing the fan rings 121 and then winding to form a second outer ring.
The forming method of the second outer ring is the same as the forming method of the first outer ring, please refer to the forming process of the first outer ring, which is not described herein again.
In this embodiment, the first outer ring and the second outer ring are formed by splicing and winding the same number of fan rings 121. In other embodiments, the first outer ring and the second outer ring may be formed by splicing and winding a different number of fan rings 121. In practical application, the number of the fan rings 121 and the size of the fan rings 121 are set according to the size of the head 1 and the size of the plate.
And S233, splicing the first outer ring and the second outer ring to obtain the lower outer ring 12.
Two straight edges at two ends of the first outer ring respectively correspond to two straight edges at two ends of the second outer ring, and the straight edges of the first outer ring are in butt joint with the straight edges of the second outer ring, so that the lower outer ring 12 is obtained.
The first outer ring and the second outer ring can be spliced through manual welding, so that the assembly precision of the first outer ring and the second outer ring is improved.
In other embodiments, the lower outer ring 12 may also be formed into a first outer ring, a second outer ring, and a third outer ring, and then spliced together, which may be specifically set according to practical applications.
Referring to fig. 6, the lower outer ring 12 obtained by the above process has a truncated cone shape, and the outer circumference of the lower outer ring 12 extends in a tangential direction of the upper vertex circle 11. In one embodiment, the taper of the lower outer ring 12 is 132 °.
The lower outer ring 12 is obtained by winding after splicing a plurality of fan rings 121, so that the method is particularly suitable for manufacturing the lower outer ring 12 of the large-diameter seal head 1. Preferably, the lower outer ring 12 has a maximum diameter of 10m to 12 m.
And S3, welding the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 in pair to form the seal head 1.
Referring to fig. 7, in one embodiment, step S3 includes:
and S31, positioning the top circle.
In this embodiment, the upper dome 11 is placed on the support frame with its opening facing downward.
The support frame is provided with a support platform, the size of the support platform is smaller than that of the bottom edge of the upper top circle 11, so that the support platform extends into the upper top circle 11, and the distance from the bottom end of the support frame to the bottom end of the upper top circle 11 is not smaller than that of the lower outer ring 12. The support frame can be a workbench or a support rod, and can support the upper support circle 11. Because the precision requirement of the upper top circle 11 on the support frame is not high, the support frame can be obtained anywhere.
S32, the lower outer ring 12 is fitted over the outer circumference of the upper top circle 11 from top to bottom, so that the lower outer ring 12 is caught at the bottom edge of the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 is partially overlapped with the upper top circle 11.
In one embodiment, a support seat can be further disposed below two opposite sides of the lower outer ring 12, and the support force provided by the support seat is smaller than the gravity of the lower outer ring 12, so that the lower outer ring 12 is clamped with the upper top circle 11 due to a smaller acting force, and damage to the upper top circle 11 when the lower outer ring 12 falls directly due to too large gravity is avoided.
S33, cutting the portion of the lower outer ring 12 overlapping the upper top circle 11 so that the lower outer ring 12 is butted against the upper top circle 11.
In this embodiment, a line is drawn on the lower outer ring 12 along the opening edge of the upper dome 11, and then a cutting device cuts along the line to remove the portion of the lower outer ring 12 overlapping the upper dome 11, so that the lower outer ring 12 is butted against the upper dome 11. And S34, welding the lower outer ring 12 and the top circle at the butt joint of the lower outer ring 12 and the top circle 11 to form the seal head 1.
Preferably, the welding of the butt joint of the lower outer ring 12 and the upper top circle 11 can adopt manual welding, and the pairing precision between the lower outer ring 12 and the upper top circle 11 can be increased.
In another embodiment, the size of the lower outer ring 12 just meets the size requirement of the seal head 1 after the upper top circle 11 is removed, so the upper surface of the lower outer ring 12 just abuts against the lower surface of the upper top circle 11 without cutting the lower outer ring 12.
Referring to fig. 8, in the seal head 1 obtained by the above process, the upper top circle 11 is formed by pressing, the radian of the upper top circle is consistent with that of the seal head 1, the lower outer ring 12 is not pressed and still takes the shape of a circular truncated cone, and the periphery of the lower outer ring 12 extends along the tangential direction of the upper top circle 11. In the process method, when the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 are paired, the lower outer ring 12 is not pressed, so that the accuracy requirement of pairing the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 is reduced to a certain extent, the lower outer ring 12 is sleeved on the periphery of the upper top circle 11 from top to bottom during pairing, and the lower outer ring 12 is butted with the upper top circle 11. Because the lower outer ring 12 and the upper top circle 11 are not pressed in positioning, the radian of the upper top circle 11 and the radian of the lower outer ring 12 do not need to be positioned, the positioning precision requirement between the upper top circle and the lower top circle is reduced, and a special jig frame does not need to be used.
S4, press-forming the paired lower outer rings 12 to form the lower outer rings 12 into an arc shape of a predetermined shape.
Specifically, in one embodiment, step S4 includes: firstly, the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 which are paired up are placed on a pressing device with the openings facing upwards, and then the lower outer ring 12 is spun by a pressing hammer of the pressing device so that the lower outer ring 12 forms an arc shape with a preset shape. The pressing principle of the lower outer ring 12 is the same as that of the upper top circle 11, the outer ring is firstly spun along the circumferential direction, then the adjacent areas of the outer ring are pressed inwards, and the like is repeated until all the areas of the lower outer ring 12 are pressed, and finally the arc shape with the preset shape is formed.
Referring to fig. 9, in the closure 1 formed by the above process, the lower outer ring 12 has been formed into an arc shape of a predetermined shape by pressing. Only the lower outer ring 12 needs to be pressed separately in this process.
Preferably, the step of press forming the paired rear lower outer rings 12 to form the lower outer rings 12 into an arc of a predetermined shape further includes: the reinforcing plate is welded to the outside of the upper dome 11, covering the outer surface of the dome portion. The reinforcing plate serves to protect the upper apex circle 11 when the lower outer ring 12 is pressed. The reinforcing plates are connected by spot welding.
The step of press forming the paired rear lower outer rings 12 to form the lower outer rings 12 into an arc shape of a predetermined shape further includes: the reinforcing plate is removed. Because the reinforcing plate is connected with the upper top circle 11 through spot welding, the end socket 1 cannot be influenced when the reinforcing plate is removed. The reinforcing plate can also be removed after the next flanging forming process is finished.
And S5, flanging and forming the lower outer ring 12 after the press forming to enable the end socket 1 to have a folded edge, and obtaining the final end socket 1.
In the forming method of the seal head 1, an upper top circle 11 of the seal head 1 is pressed and formed, a lower outer ring 12 of the seal head 1 is rolled and formed, the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 are welded in an assembling mode, the assembled lower outer ring 12 is pressed and formed, the lower outer ring 12 is made to form an arc shape with a preset shape, and finally the pressed and formed lower outer ring 12 is turned over to form the seal head 1. When the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 are paired, the lower outer ring 12 is not pressed yet, so that the requirement on precision when the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 are paired is reduced to a certain extent, the pairing operation is relatively simple, the difficulty of manual assembly is reduced, and a large amount of labor cost and time cost are saved. Because the lower outer ring 12 and the upper top circle 11 are not pressed in positioning, the radian of the upper top circle 11 and the radian of the lower outer ring 12 do not need to be positioned, the positioning precision requirement is reduced, and a special jig frame does not need to be used.
The forming method only has two pressing forming processes, reduces the pressing forming times compared with the prior art, and further improves the manufacturing efficiency of the end socket 1. And the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12 of the seal head 1 are respectively pressed through the two pressing forming processes, and the method is particularly suitable for manufacturing large seal heads 1.
The invention also provides the end socket 1, and the end socket 1 is prepared by the forming method of the end socket 1 and can be disc-shaped, oval-shaped, hemispherical or spherical crown-shaped.
Referring to fig. 9, the seal head 1 includes an upper top circle 11 and a lower outer ring 12 disposed below the upper top circle 11, a lower surface of the upper top circle 11 is in abutting connection with an upper surface of the lower outer ring 12, the upper top circle 11 is formed by a first pressing process, and the lower outer ring 12 is formed by a second pressing process after being paired and welded with the upper top circle 11.
The size of the lower outer ring 12 is not smaller than that of the flanging of the seal head 1, and the size of the upper top circle 11 is not larger than the size of the seal head 1 minus the size of the flanging, so that the flanging of the seal head 1 is directly formed by flanging the lower outer ring 12, the flanging of the seal head 1 is prevented from being jointly formed by the upper top circle 11 and the lower outer ring 12, and the structural strength of the flanging is further improved. Preferably, the ratio of the height of the lower outer ring 12 to the height of the upper apex circle 11 is 1.25 to 1.6.
Furthermore, the wall thickness of the end socket 1 is not less than 14mm, so that the forming quality of the end socket 1 is ensured.
The end socket 1 is divided into an upper top circle 11 and a lower outer ring 12 along the height direction of the end socket 1, and the lower outer ring 12 is formed by rolling after being spliced by a plurality of fan rings 121, so the end socket 1 is particularly suitable for large-scale end sockets 1. Preferably, the diameter of the end socket 1 is 10m-12 m.
In this embodiment, the lower outer ring 12 is formed by rolling after the fan rings 121 are spliced, and the lower outer ring 12 is suitable for manufacturing a large end enclosure by sectional manufacturing.
The end socket is divided into an upper top circle and a lower outer ring, the lower surface of the upper top circle is connected with the upper surface of the lower outer ring in a facing mode, the upper top circle is formed through a first pressing process, and the lower outer ring is formed through a second pressing process after being welded with the upper top circle in a pairing mode. Therefore, the end socket has low requirement on precision during assembly, the operation during assembly is relatively simple, the difficulty of manual assembly is reduced, and a large amount of labor cost and time cost are saved. And the lower outer ring and the upper top circle are not pressed in positioning, so that the radian of the upper top circle and the radian of the lower outer ring do not need to be positioned, the positioning precision requirement is reduced, and a special jig frame does not need to be used. The end socket disclosed by the invention is formed by two-time pressing forming process, and compared with the prior art, the number of pressing forming times is reduced, so that the manufacturing efficiency of the end socket is improved. And the upper top circle and the lower outer ring of the end socket are respectively pressed by the two pressing and forming processes, so that the method is particularly suitable for manufacturing large end sockets.
