Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a coiled tubing according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for carrying out the method according to the preamble of claim 6.
  • a method and such a device are known from US Pat. No. 2,505,623.
  • the known method and the associated device can be used to produce coiled tubing with a slight curvature and / or moderate quality requirements, while the known method fails for further requirements.
  • eccentric screws for eccentric screw pumps, as drive elements for well drilling rigs, as screw pump and motor elements.
  • eccentric screws unless they have been turned or whirled out of solid material, have been welded together from sheet metal half-shells that are very complicated to form or have been formed by repeated pressing and pulling back a tube into a conical die with resiliently mounted die parts.
  • the object of the invention is, starting from a mandrel bending process of the type considered at the outset, the production of coils of high quality and any size enable in a continuous process and thereby use the speed of work and the practical experience, as they are given in practice in the manufacture of pipe bends.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for carrying out such a method.
  • this object is achieved in a method with the features of claim 1.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the knowledge that a working method of the type resulting from the prior art, as it is also based on the fundamentally similar method for producing pipe elbows, generally does not lead to usable results because the pipe is formed to the spiral in addition to the axial movement must perform a rotational movement, unless torsion or irregular flow processes are adversely affected, which affect the quality of the product. Only by the fact that the supplied pipe section already executes a rotational movement in relation to the mandrel in the spiral direction can a spiral with the manufacturing quality be achieved, as is known in the case of pipe bends which have been produced, for example, by the pipe bending process.
  • the rotational movement of the tube can be a free movement in that the mandrel is rotatably supported relative to the pressing device and / or the pressing device or its parts that come into contact with the tube.
  • a forced movement of the mandrel and / or the tube can also be predetermined, a coupling being established between the feed movement and the rotary movement.
  • the object of the invention is further achieved with a device according to claim 7.
  • the device realizes on the device-technical side what the method provides, on one side the expanding mandrel and on the other side the press bear in relation to each other in order to achieve the desired rotational mobility. It is of course sufficient if the bearing to be provided for the pressure on the rear end of the tube can be rotated, while the mobility of the press bear can otherwise be limited to a re-axial movement.
  • a straight pipe section which can consist of a seamless or welded pipe section, is pressed cold or warmed up to a deformation temperature by means of a mandrel which is helically coiled in the specified geometry leaves this mandrel with precise surface dimensions and a perfect interior and surface structure.
  • the heating of the pipe section can advantageously take place in the form that has already proven itself when bending pipe sections, ie by heating by means of burner flames from an annular nozzle which heats the pipe where it is just passing the mandrel, or by inductive heating in this very area.
  • the device designated in FIG. 1 as a whole for deforming pipes has, in the manner known in principle from presses for producing pipe bends, a press frame 2 with various devices for adjusting and supporting tools, with a press bear 3 along one through the press bear 3 shaft passed through and anchored in the frame 4 in the direction of a mandrel 5 with press forces up to an order of magnitude of approximately 1000 tons.
  • the press bear 3 presses against an end face of a pipe section 6 (or also several pipe sections lined up one behind the other on the shaft 4) in order to move it over the mandrel 5.
  • the mandrel 5 has a complex shape, which basically leads to a widening of the tube and to a helical shape, and at the same time the shape of the mandrel can also influence the flow of the material in the circumferential direction and thus the distribution of wall thickness in the tube wall .
  • the mandrel which leads to an overlap of deformations in the sense of widening, a helical curvature and a change in wall thickness, the person skilled in the art can create a precision tool which produces an evenly coiled tube, in a single operation.
  • the tube can be deformed in the cold state.
  • tubes of higher strength or greater wall thickness are regularly thermoformed, for which purpose an induction coil 7 is provided around the mandrel 5 in the present case, which heats the tube 6 each time it passes through the deformation region.
  • the tube which adapts to the inside of the coiled shape of the expanding mandrel 5, also carries out a rotary movement at the end in addition to the feed movement. It is expediently provided that the supplied tube 6 also rotates with respect to the shaft 4, so that the tube is not subject to torsional deformations during the shaping.
  • the press bear 3 encloses the shaft 4.
  • the rotational mobility of the tube 6 is created in that the press bear 3 is preceded by a rotary bearing 8 which presses against an end face of the tube 6 with a ball-bearing pressure ring 9. At the same time, the tube 6 is centered by an annular collar 10 with a conical inner surface 11.
  • Fig. 3 it is first seen in an oblique view that the mandrel 5 can be divided into different sections in the longitudinal direction.
  • a section of smaller diameter is intended to establish the connection with the shaft 4 and to achieve a longitudinal guide on the outside with respect to the pipe to be deformed.
  • Such a guide zone 12 of the mandrel 5 is followed by a comparatively short expansion zone 13, in which a tube pressed over the mandrel undergoes the major part of its deformation.
  • a tube pressed over the mandrel undergoes the major part of its deformation.
  • it not only does it expand, but also a helical curve and also a material. Flow overlap in the circumferential direction to influence the wall thickness at the same time.
  • the expansion zone 13 is followed by a calibration zone 14, in which the mandrel carries out a fine adjustment and calibration of the tube with an essentially constant cross-section and constant spiral curvature and also retrospectively aligns the tube during the expansion process on the expansion zone 13.
  • 4 and 5 illustrate the zones described above in the side view and axial view.
  • the mandrel is assigned a longitudinal axis, which initially represents a cylinder axis in the guide zone 12 in the potash brierzone 14 continues as a screw axis. In the present exemplary embodiment, this axis, designated 15, always runs within the mandrel.
  • a tube made with such a mandrel 5 has an outer circular contour, which can be assigned to a suitable inner cylinder, for example in the case of eccentric pumps, and that the tube helix produced is a precisely shaped free lumen 17 within the tube cross section, even in the case of long designs Circle around the axis 15 shows.
  • FIG. 8 shows an embodiment with an oval cross section, as can also be produced in one operation without post-processing.
  • the tube can be rotatably mounted relative to the press bear 3.
  • the shaft 4 and / or the mandrel can also be rotatably supported, it then being possible to dispense with a rotatable bearing of the tube.
  • a driven, positively controlled rotational movement between the tube and the mandrel is generated, be it that a rotating driven ring plate is connected upstream of the press bear or it is also that the shaft is rotated according to the feed of the press bear.
  • a device for deforming pipes designated in its entirety by 19 in FIG. 9, the parts of which correspond to the device parts previously identified and have the same reference numerals, has a press frame 2 with various devices for adjusting and supporting tools, with a press bear 3 along one the press bear 3 guided and anchored in the frame shaft 4 in the direction of a tool 20 with press forces up to an order of magnitude of about 1000 tons.
  • the press bear 3 presses against a rear end face of a pipe section 6 (or also several such pipe sections lined up in succession on the shaft 4) in order to move it through the tool 20.
  • the pipe sections 6 fed to the tool 20 in a cylindrical straight shape leave the tool on the side facing away from the press bear 3 as a pipe coil 21.
  • the tool 20 is illustrated in greater detail in FIGS. 10 to 13.
  • the tool 20 comprises an outer tool 22 with a horizontally running through passage bore 23 (see FIG. 12), which forms the precise outer shape of the desired tube coil 21 at least in an end region 24, preferably also in a central region.
  • an inlet region 25 of the through bore 23 can be cylindrical or weakly coiled in order to facilitate insertion. It can also be dimensioned to an oversize in cross-section in order to facilitate the running-in of the pipe sections 6 with a light funnel shape.
  • the outer shape 22 is suitable for pressing a tube section fed in the direction of an axis 26 out of the cylindrical, straight blank shape into a tube coil, which defines an extremely precise outer shape.
  • the outer shape can be designed to be highly resilient by making it correspondingly large thanks to the material used on the outside, whereby the dimensions are not limited.
  • an outer tool can absorb and dissipate a lot of heat, so that heat problems can be mastered relatively well - especially since the high pressure resistance of the outer tool allows cold deformations in areas in which hot deformations are regularly preferred for other tube forming.
  • the outer tool 22 is supplemented by an inner tool in the form of an expanding mandrel 27, which adjoins the continuous shaft 4.
  • the expanding mandrel 27 begins with an expanding zone 28 in the form of a truncated cone, which is adjoined by a cylindrical or weakly coiled section 29, which then runs into a concentrically in the coiled through bore 24, so that it has a precisely predetermined uniform air gap 30 to the external tool forms.
  • This air gap defines the wall thickness of the pipe coil 21 to be produced, at the same time the pipe coil is formed smoothly and precisely both on the outer and on the inner lateral surface.
  • This deformation will initiated in that the pipe section 6 is expanded to the desired extent in the expansion zone 28, the additional molding process being able to improve the strength of the pipe, but in particular eliminating tolerances of the pipe section 6.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 Another embodiment of a tool 31 according to FIGS. 14 and 15 likewise makes use of an outer tool and an inner tool, the outer tool being intended to be the same as that according to FIGS. 10 and 15 and accordingly also being given the reference symbol 22.
  • a mandrel 32 serves as the inner tool, which is not designed as an expanding mandrel, but as a mandrel of constant cross section. This mandrel does not have a cross-sectional effect; rather, its cross section differs only slightly from the cross section of the shaft 4, to which it adjoins flush.
  • the mandrel 32 can be designed so that it is slightly larger from its shaft-side start to the free end in order to bring about a precise inner wall formation in the tube helix 21, but it can also be predetermined with an undersize compared to the inner cross section of the tube in order to maintain a play in motion, which restricts the mandrel to management tasks, but largely leaves the forming of the coiled tubing to the external tool.
  • a pressure bearing 8 is provided for the press bear for receiving the end of the pipe section abutting the press bear 8.
  • Pressure transfer via internal rolling elements expediently ensures easy mobility.
  • the deformation of the pipe sections can take place both in the cold and also take place when hot.
  • the pipe is expediently heated by a heating device (not shown) directly in front of the outer tool 22, various heating devices being available to the person skilled in the art, for example by means of gas burners or by means of inductive heating.
