Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pulling device for a press of a generic type.
  • the sheet inserted into the tool is first pressed against the sheet holder by the drawing ring and then moved together with the sheet holder against the holding force exerted by the drawing device.
  • the sheet held between the sheet holder and the drawing ring is deformed on the press table by the drawing die of the active tool half.
  • the plunger also has to overcome the inertia force which comes into effect as a result of the acceleration of the movable sheet metal holder and drawing device masses at the beginning of the deformation.
  • This unit must apply the pressure required for the pre-acceleration against the action of the pulling device.
  • the hydraulic fluid for the main pressures of pulling, if necessary locking the pulling device and the pre-acceleration and the hydraulic fluid for the control are removed from one and the same tub.
  • the movement of the piston rod of the pulling device in the pre-acceleration phase is time-controlled.
  • the pre-acceleration must end at the time when the maximum ram movement (bottom dead center) of the ram is reached.
  • the sheet is held evenly at the start of the drawing phase.
  • the pressure cylinder 2 in Fig. 1 is attached via its cylinder flange 1 in the frame of the press, possibly in the press table.
  • the piston rod 3, which can be moved in and against the direction of pull 43, is rigidly connected to the actual pulling device which, as shown in EP 0 074 421 A1, serves to counteract the pulling of the sheet metal holder.
  • the pressure cylinder 2 is surrounded in its upper part by a reservoir 4 for hydraulic fluid, which is fluidly connected to a tank 5.
  • the level in reservoir 4 and tank 5, which drops due to, for example, leakage losses, is supplemented by a motor-pump unit 35.
  • the pressure chamber 6, in conjunction with the pressure piston 10, is used for the controlled run-up of the piston rod 3 for ejecting the workpiece from the tool, as e.g. has been described in detail in DE 35 05 984 A1.
  • the run-up control takes place via the pressure line 7 and the control block 8, the after-run of hydraulic fluid during the forming process via the check valve-equipped line 36.
  • a line for the return from the run-up control 8 into the reservoir 4 is positioned at 9.
  • the line 11 is used for ventilation.
  • the piston rod 3 extends in the downwardly extended part into a pressure chamber 12 and here has a pressure piston 15.
  • the attached collar 14 is displaceable on the piston rod 3 with the pressure piston 15 and serves to limit the run-up of the piston rod 3.
  • the pressure piston 15 forms an active surface 13 which delimits the pressure chamber 12 and can be acted upon in the pulling direction 43.
  • the pressure chamber 12 filled with hydraulic fluid stands with a pressure volume space 18 of a pre-acceleration cylinder 16 in fluid communication.
  • this cylinder 16 comprises a further pressure chamber 19 which is separated from the pressure volume chamber 18 by the piston 17.
  • the amount of hydraulic fluid in the pressure volume space 18 can be adjusted to a certain amount via, for example, automatically adjustable stops.
  • the pressure chamber 19 facing away from the pressure volume space 18 can be brought into flow connection with a pressure accumulator 22 via a pressure line 20 and a throttling directional valve 21, for example a so-called prop valve.
  • the pressure in the pressure accumulator 22 is applied via a motor-pump unit 24.
  • the throttling directional control valve 21 is controlled by the press control via the control line 44 as a function of the movement of the drawing ram. Filters, oilers, water separators, pressure transducers, means for reducing and indicating the pressure and the like are not shown in the circuit diagram, since these means and their use are generally known.
  • the pressure in the pressure chamber 19 can be reduced via the return line 37 and the return control 23 into the trough 38, specifically when the piston rod 3 is raised (ejecting the workpiece).
  • the pressure piston 17 is connected via its piston rod 28 to the piston of the return pressure cylinder 27 rigidly connected.
  • the pressure piston 17 is to be withdrawn completely, for example up to stops for regulating the pressure quantity.
  • the return pressure cylinder 27 is controlled via the return control 29, which is connected to the general control pressure line 26.
  • the pressure in the control line 26 is applied via the motor-pump unit 25.
  • the pressure chamber 12 for the pre-acceleration is also connected to the reservoir 4 via a follow-up control with a valve 30 and a follow-up line 34.
  • the valve seat 33 opens in the suction phase of the pressure chamber 12 when the piston 17 in the pre-acceleration cylinder 16 is moved into its left position, which takes up the pressure volume chamber 18, i.e. after the pre-acceleration phase 41 of the piston rod 3.
  • the valve seat is in the run-up phase of the piston rod 3 33 to open, wherein the pressure piston 17 has assumed its shown right position and the pressure volume space 18 is completely filled with hydraulic fluid.
  • the valve seat 33 is controlled in the open position by means of a control piston 32 to which control pressure from the general control pressure line 26 can be applied.
  • a 2/2-way valve 31 is introduced into the control pressure line 26 for this purpose, via a control line 45 coming from the press control as a function of the position or movement phase of the ram must be opened.
  • FIG. 2 shows in a diagram the curve 39 for a possible movement of the drawing ram and the curve 40 for the movement of the sheet metal holder.
  • the sheet metal holder is pre-accelerated during the working stroke of the drawing ram.
  • the drawing ram strikes the lowering sheet metal with the upper part of the tool attached to it.
  • hydraulic fluid is drawn in from the reservoir 4 into the pressure chamber 12 via the follow-up control 30.
