Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of pressing sheet metal, including the steps of providing a press having a punch, a die, and a blank-holder for restraining a metal sheet at an edge region of the die by clamping it between the blank-holder and the edge region.
  • the present invention also relates to a hydraulic press for pressing sheet metal, of the type including at least one blank-holder operated by actuators through an hydraulic operating circuit.
  • the optimum clamping pressure for the blank-holder is determined empirically and, during normal production, is kept constant throughout the pressing period. With this constant-pressure method, difficulties are encountered with complex dies and deep drawing. Moreover, the characteristics of the metal sheets and their pre-treatment (for example, with lubricants) represent variables which may mean that the clamping pressure, which is determined empirically beforehand, is not at an optimum.
  • DE-A-3744177 discloses a method of pressing sheet metal in which the force having effect on the blank-holder is electronically controlled according to a predetermined law.
  • the control system used in such known process needs a central process unit and a sensor of the punch's travel in order to make the pressure acting on the blank-holder dependent from the position of the punch.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a pressing method of the type specified at the beginning of the description which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages and which is simple and cheap to put into practice.
  • this object is achieved by virtue of the fact that the blank-holder is clamped onto the metal sheet with a force which can be alternated cyclically and repeatedly between minimum and maximum values during the deforming of a metal sheet.
  • the repeated alternation of the pressure of the blank-holder between a maximum value and a minimum value at a suitable frequency enables the metal sheet to adapt itself to the requirements of deformation during the pressing regardless of the nature of the metal sheet and its surface treatment.
  • the step of adjusting the clamping pressure is eliminated and the drawing depth can be increased.
  • the method according to the invention can be carried out on a hydraulic press for pressing sheet metal, of the type including at least one blank-holder operated by actuators through an hydraulic operating circuit, in which the hydraulic circuit includes valve means for alternately depressurising/pressurising the actuators of the blank-holder to cause the clamping pressure of the blank-holder to vary repeatedly according to a predetermined law.
  • a hydraulic press indicated 10, includes a die 12, a punch 14 and a blank-holder 16.
  • a flat metal sheet L is interposed between the blank-holder and the die 12 for drawing.
  • the press 10 has a special hydraulic circuit 18 for operating actuators 20 associated with the blank-holder 16.
  • the hydraulic circuit 18 includes a valve unit 22 for cutting off the flow supplied by a pump p for very short periods at a frequency which is variable in dependence on the type of die but is preferably between 20 and 30 Hz.
  • the valve unit 22 is not discussed in detail herein since it is of substantially the same type as is used, for example, in anti-lock braking systems for automatically pressurising/depressurising the hydraulic circuit associated with the brakes.
  • the pressure for operating the blank-holder 16 is applied and released within a range defined by a maximum value and a minimum value, or within a suitable interval between these values.
  • the valve means 22 may be associated with an electronic control system for modulating the pressurisation/depressurisation frequency in dependence on the various geometries of the dies, acting separately on the actuators 20 of the blank-holder 16. In this case, the optimum pressure interval and the individual control of the actuators 20 will be determined in dependence on the various geometries of the dies.
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention which uses a die 25 with two superposed cavities 25a acted on by two opposed punches 14.
  • the operation of the two blank-holders 16 is essentially identical to that described for Figures 1 and 3.

  2. Presse hydraulique d'emboutissage d'une feuille métallique, du type qui comprend au moins un porte-flan (16) commandé par des organes de manoeuvre (20) par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit hydraulique de commande (18), caractérisée en ce que le circuit hydraulique (18) comporte un dispositif à soupape (22) destiné à mettre en alternance sous pression et hors pression les organes de manoeuvre (20) du porte-flan (16) afin que la pression de serrage du porte-flan (16) alterne cycliquement et de manière répétée entre les valeurs minimale et maximale pendant la déformation d'une feuille métallique (L), à une fréquence convenable, de préférence comprise entre 20 et 30 Hz, afin que la feuille métallique (L) puisse s'adapter d'elle-même aux conditions de la déformation.
  3. Presse hydraulique selon la revendication 2, caractérisée en ce que le dispositif à soupape (22) est destiné à faire alterner la pression de commande agissant sur chaque organe de manoeuvre (20) du porte-flan (16) d'après une loi différente de celle d'un autre organe de manoeuvre (20).
