Definitions
- the invention relates first of all to a method for applying thread pulls to the edges of a polygonal tube. Because of the angular cross-section of the tube, the thread can not be applied by rolling the thread, so that so far the thread cutting, for. B. were cut by a cutting clip. With a polygonal cross-section of the pipes and thus a flat edge angle and corresponding wall thickness of the pipes, this poses few problems. It If there are segments of a thread in the area of the edges, the middle area of the flat side walls is free of threads.
- the polygonal tube has few edges - for example 5, 4 or 3 edges - the thread segments must be cut relatively deep at the edges in order to give a sufficiently deep engagement in the longitudinal direction of the threaded connections for a threaded nut engaging in the threaded connections.
- the wall in the thread base becomes very thin, possibly the wall breaks completely in the area of the edge, so that a hole is created in the thread base.
- the object of the invention is to improve threaded segments arranged in the area of the edges of polygonal tubes.
- this object is first achieved in that the tube is deformed without cutting.
- an expanding claw the outer surface of which has the inner contour of a section of the thread segments to be produced, is clamped as a lower tool from the inside against the wall of the polygonal tube.
- at least one outer tool which has the outer contour of a section of the thread segments to be produced, is pressed in the area of the expanding claw from the outside against the edge of the polygonal tube, so that the material of the tube wall in the area of the edges enters depressions forming the thread base in the outer surface of the expanding claw .
- the outer tool and the expanding claw are then lifted off the tube walls and the polygonal tube is displaced axially by one pitch or a multiple thereof relative to the outer tool and the expanding claw by a machining section.
- This method has the advantage that the wall of the polygonal tube is weakened only slightly or not at all in the thread base. Due to the deformation with the external tool and the expanding claw, this wall section is additionally solidified, breaking through the wall in the area of the thread base is avoided with certainty.
- the thickness of the wall thickness remaining in the area of the thread base after the deformation depends on the distance between the elevations of the outer tool that form the thread base and the depressions forming the thread base at the end of the deformation in the expanding claw that serves as the counter tool. It is therefore possible with the method according to the invention not only to produce thread segments in which the wall thickness in the region of the thread base corresponds to the wall thickness of the polygonal tube in the region of the flat side walls, but also in thread segments in which this wall thickness is smaller, but may also be somewhat thicker, when the material of the polygonal tube reaches the flow limit during the deformation.
- the invention further relates to a device for performing the method, which is characterized in that it has a tensioning device for the polygonal tube and an expanding claw, at least one of these parts being displaceably guided parallel to the axis of the polygonal tube, and in that the expanding claw into the Polygonal tube can be inserted and expanded into a position adjacent to the inner wall of the polygonal tube and can also be folded into a position in which the outer contour of the expanding claw has smaller outer dimensions than the corresponding inner dimensions of the polygonal tube in the area of the threaded segments.
- an expanding claw as a counter-tool for deforming the polygonal tube results in a simple construction of the device, since the expanding claw is designed such that it is supported against the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube during the deformation.
- the outer contour of the expanding claw can have the internal dimensions of the polygonal tube in the expanded position, with recesses being provided on all edges of the expanding claw for receiving the thread pulls.
- the expanding claw is designed such that its edges, which are not required as a counter-tool for the external tool, are round or flattened.
- the outer contour of the expanding claw can be supported at several points on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube. In one embodiment of the invention, however, the expanding claw is supported only at the point on the inner surfaces opposite the deformed edge. In this case, it is sufficient if the expanding claw has an expanding part which is pivotably attached to an extension of a rod, the extension of the rod being supported during the expansion at the point on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube opposite the deformation region.
- Embodiments of the expanding claw can, however, also have a plurality of pivotably mounted expanding parts, one or two of which form the counter-tool to the external tool, whereas the other expanding parts are used to support the expanding claw on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube.
- the spreading claw can be spread out by various devices, for example the spreading members can be spread by compressed air or a hydraulic medium.
- the spreading members can be spread by compressed air or a hydraulic medium.
- only two expansion parts are provided, which are separated by a mechanical device, namely a spreading cone to be spread.
- the expansion cone is fastened to an actuating rod which is passed through the hollow cross section of a rod carrying the expanding claw and is driven at its rear end to perform a displacement movement.
- This device for spreading the expanding claw allows a very simple and robust construction.
- the invention further relates to a threaded tube which is designed as a polygonal tube, for example as a square tube and has segments of a thread along its edges, the wall thickness in the thread base being essentially the same as in the region of the side walls.
- a threaded pipe is particularly suitable for use in the construction industry for ceiling or other supports or formwork clamps. Contaminants that settle in the thread segments in the area of the edges are pressed when a threaded nut is screwed out of the thread into the space between the round inner surface of the threaded nut and the flat side surfaces of the polygonal tube, in particular a square tube. This self-cleaning of the thread is ensured in particular because there is no breakthrough to the interior of the polygonal tube that holds the contamination in the thread base of the threaded segments, but the wall thickness of the polygonal tube is generally almost preserved at this point.
- a carriage 1 is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner on a base frame 2.
- the displacement movement is driven by a hydraulic or pneumatic feed device 3.
- a clamping device 4 for a square tube 5 is rigidly attached.
- the tensioning device 4 is indicated schematically by a device 6 having a cylinder and a piston.
- a plate 7 is also attached to which a support tube 8 is attached.
- a support tube 8 is attached.
- two expansion parts 10, 11 are pivotally mounted about an axis 9.
- a rod 13 driven by an actuating device 12 is slidably guided, which carries an expansion cone 14 at its front end.
- the expansion parts 10, 11 have a cross section which is designed such that the outer surfaces of the expanded expansion parts 10, 11 lie against the square tube 5 from the inside in the region of the edges.
- the embodiment shown has two external tools 15, 16, which on two opposite edges of the Square tube 5 can act and are formed on its end face so that segments of a thread are formed in the region of these opposite edges of the square tube 5.
- the expanding parts 10, 11 located inside the square tube 5 in the area of the external tools 15, 16 serve as counter tools for the external tools 15, 16.
- the outer surface of the expanding parts 10, 11 has a corresponding profile, which the male to the End faces of the external tools 15, 16 acting as a die.
- the carriage 1 is driven by a further, schematically indicated, device 17 which, in cooperation with a catch bar 18, advances the carriage 1 step by step.
- the square tube 5 clamped in the clamping device 4 is pushed by the feed device 3 in the axial direction of the square tube 5 over an expansion claw consisting of the expansion parts 10, 11 and the expansion cone 14, which between the external tools 15, 16 are held in their position unchangeable by the rod 8.
- the expansion parts 10, 11 are then spread out by pulling back the expansion cone 14 with the aid of the actuating device 12, so that they lie against the inner surfaces of the square tube 5 in the region of two mutually opposite edges.
- the expanding claw 10, 11, 14, as a relatively rigid counter-tool absorbs the pressure of the two external tools 15, 16 which are moved relative to one another.
- the material of the wall of the square tube 5 occurs in the deformation in depressions on the outer surfaces of the expansion parts 10, 11, so that in Thread base of the thread segments the wall thickness is approximately preserved.
- the device 17 shifts the slide 1 by one machining section until a sensor 23 switches off the drive by falling into the next catch of the catch bar 18. Then the next processing section of the square tube 5 is provided with threaded segments.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich zunächst auf ein Verfahren zum Anbringen von Gewindezügen auf Kanten eines Mehrkantrohres. Wegen dem eckigen Querschnitt des Rohres können die Gewindezüge nicht durch Einrollen des Gewindes aufgebracht werden, so daß bisher bei Mehrkantrohren die Gewinde spanabhebend, z. B. durch eine Schneidkluppe eingeschnitten wurden. Dies bringt bei vieleckigem Querschnitt der Rohre und damit flachem Kantenwinkel und entsprechender Wandstärke der Rohre wenig Probleme. Es befinden sich Segmente eines Gewindes im Bereich der Kanten, der mittlere Bereich der ebenen Seitenwände ist frei von Gewindezügen. Hat das Mehrkantrohr jedoch wenig Kanten - beispielsweise 5, 4 oder 3 Kanten-, so müssen die Gewindesegmente an den Kanten verhältnismäßig tief eingeschnitten werden, um einer in die Gewindezüge eingreifenden Gewindemutter einen ausreichend tiefen und in Längsrichtung der Gewindezüge ausreichenden Eingriff zu geben. Dadurch wird die Wand im Gewindegrund sehr dünn, möglicherweise bricht im Bereich der Kante die Wand ganz durch, so daß im Gewindegrund jeweils ein Loch entsteht.The invention relates first of all to a method for applying thread pulls to the edges of a polygonal tube. Because of the angular cross-section of the tube, the thread can not be applied by rolling the thread, so that so far the thread cutting, for. B. were cut by a cutting clip. With a polygonal cross-section of the pipes and thus a flat edge angle and corresponding wall thickness of the pipes, this poses few problems. It If there are segments of a thread in the area of the edges, the middle area of the flat side walls is free of threads. However, if the polygonal tube has few edges - for example 5, 4 or 3 edges - the thread segments must be cut relatively deep at the edges in order to give a sufficiently deep engagement in the longitudinal direction of the threaded connections for a threaded nut engaging in the threaded connections. As a result, the wall in the thread base becomes very thin, possibly the wall breaks completely in the area of the edge, so that a hole is created in the thread base.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, im Bereich der Kanten von Mehrkantrohren angeordnete Gewindesegmente zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve threaded segments arranged in the area of the edges of polygonal tubes.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe zunächst dadurch gelöst, daß das Rohr spanlos verformt wird. Dabei wird zunächst eine Spreizklaue, deren Außenfläche die Innenkontur eines Abschnittes der herzustellenden Gewindesegmente aufweist, als Unterwerkzeug von innen gegen die Wand des Mehrkantrohres gespannt. Anschließend wird mindestens ein Außenwerkzeug, das die Außenkontur eines Abschnittes der herzustellenden Gewindesegmente aufweist, im Bereich der Spreizklaue von außen gegen die Kante des Mehrkantrohres gepreßt, so daß der Werkstoff der Rohrwand im Bereich der Kanten in den Gewindegrund formende Vertiefungen in der Außenfläche der Spreizklaue eintritt. Danach werden Außenwerkzeug und Spreizklaue von den Rohrwandungen abgehoben und das Mehrkantrohr relativ zu Außenwerkzeug und Spreizklaue um die Steigung oder ein Mehrfaches davon axial um einen Bearbeitungsabschnitt verschoben.According to the invention, this object is first achieved in that the tube is deformed without cutting. First, an expanding claw, the outer surface of which has the inner contour of a section of the thread segments to be produced, is clamped as a lower tool from the inside against the wall of the polygonal tube. Subsequently, at least one outer tool, which has the outer contour of a section of the thread segments to be produced, is pressed in the area of the expanding claw from the outside against the edge of the polygonal tube, so that the material of the tube wall in the area of the edges enters depressions forming the thread base in the outer surface of the expanding claw . The outer tool and the expanding claw are then lifted off the tube walls and the polygonal tube is displaced axially by one pitch or a multiple thereof relative to the outer tool and the expanding claw by a machining section.
Dieses Verfahren hat den Vorzug, daß die Wand des Mehrkantrohres im Gewindegrund nur wenig oder gar nicht geschwächt wird. Durch die Verformung mit Außenwerkzeug und Spreizklaue wird dieser Wandabschnitt zusätzlich verfestigt, ein Durchbrechen der Wand im Bereich des Gewindegrundes wird mit Sicherheit vermieden.This method has the advantage that the wall of the polygonal tube is weakened only slightly or not at all in the thread base. Due to the deformation with the external tool and the expanding claw, this wall section is additionally solidified, breaking through the wall in the area of the thread base is avoided with certainty.
Die Dicke der im Bereich des Gewindegrundes nach der Verformung stehen gebliebene Wandstärke hängt davon ab, welchen Abstand den Gewindegrund formende Erhebungen des Außenwerkzeugs am Ende der Verformung von den Gewindegrund formenden Vertiefungen in der als Gegenwerkzeug dienenden Spreizklaue aufweisen. Es können daher mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren nicht nur Gewindesegmente hergestellt werden, bei denen die Wandstärke im Bereich des Gewindegrundes der Wandstärke des Mehrkantrohres im Bereich der ebenen Seitenwände entspricht, sondern auch Gewindesegmente, bei denen diese Wandstärke geringer ist, möglicherweise aber auch etwas dicker ist, wenn beim Verformen das Material des Mehrkantrohres die Fließgrenze erreicht.The thickness of the wall thickness remaining in the area of the thread base after the deformation depends on the distance between the elevations of the outer tool that form the thread base and the depressions forming the thread base at the end of the deformation in the expanding claw that serves as the counter tool. It is therefore possible with the method according to the invention not only to produce thread segments in which the wall thickness in the region of the thread base corresponds to the wall thickness of the polygonal tube in the region of the flat side walls, but also in thread segments in which this wall thickness is smaller, but may also be somewhat thicker, when the material of the polygonal tube reaches the flow limit during the deformation.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich weiter auf eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß sie eine Spannvorrichtung für das Mehrkantrohr und eine Spreizklaue aufweist, wobei mindestens eines dieser Teile parallel zur Achse des Mehrkantrohres verschiebbar geführt ist, und daß die Spreizklaue in das Mehrkantrohr einführbar und in eine an die Innenwand des Mehrkantrohres anliegende Stellung aufspreizbar ist und außerdem in eine Stellung zusammenlegbar ist, in der die Außenkontur der Spreizklaue kleinere Außenabmessungen als die entsprechenden Innenabmessungen des Mehrkantrohres im Bereich der Gewindesegmente aufweist.The invention further relates to a device for performing the method, which is characterized in that it has a tensioning device for the polygonal tube and an expanding claw, at least one of these parts being displaceably guided parallel to the axis of the polygonal tube, and in that the expanding claw into the Polygonal tube can be inserted and expanded into a position adjacent to the inner wall of the polygonal tube and can also be folded into a position in which the outer contour of the expanding claw has smaller outer dimensions than the corresponding inner dimensions of the polygonal tube in the area of the threaded segments.
Die Verwendung einer Spreizklaue als Gegenwerkzeug zum Verformen des Mehrkantrohrs ergibt einen einfachen Aufbau der Vorrichtung, da die Spreizklaue so ausgebildet ist, daß sie sich während der Verformung gegen die Innenflächen des Mehrkantrohres abstützt. Dabei kann die Außenkontur der Spreizklaue in aufgespreizter Stellung die Innenabmessungen des Mehrkantrohres aufweisen, wobei dann an allen Kanten der Spreizklaue Vertiefungen zur Aufnahme der Gewindezüge vorgesehen sind. Bei anderen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ist die Spreizklaue so ausgebildet, daß ihre nicht als Gegenwerkzeug für das Außenwerkzeug benötigten Kanten rund oder abgeflacht sind.The use of an expanding claw as a counter-tool for deforming the polygonal tube results in a simple construction of the device, since the expanding claw is designed such that it is supported against the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube during the deformation. In this case, the outer contour of the expanding claw can have the internal dimensions of the polygonal tube in the expanded position, with recesses being provided on all edges of the expanding claw for receiving the thread pulls. In other embodiments of the invention, the expanding claw is designed such that its edges, which are not required as a counter-tool for the external tool, are round or flattened.
Die Außenkontur der Spreizklaue kann sich an mehreren Stellen der Innenflächen des Mehrkantrohres abstützen. Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung stützt sich die Spreizklaue jedoch nur an der der verformten Kante gegenüberliegenden Stelle der Innenflächen ab. In diesem Falle genügt es, wenn die Spreizklaue ein Spreizteil aufweist, das an einer Verlängerung eines Stabes schwenkbar befestigt ist, wobei sich die Verlängerung des Stabes beim Aufspreizen an der dem Verformungsbereich gegenüberliegenden Stelle der Innenflächen des Mehrkantrohres abstützt. Ausführungsformen der Spreizklaue können jedoch auch mehrere schwenkbar gelagerte Spreizteile aufweisen, von denen eines oder zwei das Gegenwerkzeug zu dem Außenwerkzeug bilden, wogegen die anderen Spreizteile zum Abstützen der Spreizklaue an den Innenflächen des Mehrkantrohres benutzt werden.The outer contour of the expanding claw can be supported at several points on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube. In one embodiment of the invention, however, the expanding claw is supported only at the point on the inner surfaces opposite the deformed edge. In this case, it is sufficient if the expanding claw has an expanding part which is pivotably attached to an extension of a rod, the extension of the rod being supported during the expansion at the point on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube opposite the deformation region. Embodiments of the expanding claw can, however, also have a plurality of pivotably mounted expanding parts, one or two of which form the counter-tool to the external tool, whereas the other expanding parts are used to support the expanding claw on the inner surfaces of the polygonal tube.
Das Aufspreizen der Spreizklaue kann durch verschiedene Vorrichtungen erfolgen, beispielsweise können die Spreizglieder durch Druckluft oder ein hydraulisches Medium aufgespreizt werden. Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind nur zwei Spreizteile vorgesehen, die durch eine mechanische Vorrichtung, nämlich einen Spreizkonus, aufgespreizt werden. Der Spreizkonus ist an einer Betätigungsstange befestigt, die durch den hohlen Querschnitt eines die Spreizklaue tragenden Stabes hindurchgeführt ist und an seinem rückwärtigen Ende zu einer Verschiebebewegung angetrieben ist. Diese Vorrichtung zum Spreizen der Spreizklaue erlaubt eine sehr einfache und robuste Konstruktion.The spreading claw can be spread out by various devices, for example the spreading members can be spread by compressed air or a hydraulic medium. In one embodiment of the invention, only two expansion parts are provided, which are separated by a mechanical device, namely a spreading cone to be spread. The expansion cone is fastened to an actuating rod which is passed through the hollow cross section of a rod carrying the expanding claw and is driven at its rear end to perform a displacement movement. This device for spreading the expanding claw allows a very simple and robust construction.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich weiter auf ein Gewinderohr, das als Mehrkantrohr, beispielsweise als Vierkantrohr ausgebildet ist und entlang seiner Kanten Segmente eines Gewindes aufweist, wobei die Wandstärke im Gewindegrund im wesentlichen gleich wie im Bereich der Seitenwände ist. So ein Gewinde ist sehr robust. Ein solches Gewinderohr eignet sich insbesondere zur Verwendung im Baugewerbe bei Decken- oder anderen Stützen oder Schalungszwingen. Sich in den Gewindesegmenten im Bereich der Kanten festsetzende Verunreinigungen werden beim Einschrauben einer Gewindemutter aus dem Gewinde in den Zwischenraum zwischen der runden Innenfläche der Gewindemutter und den ebenen Seitenflächen des Mehrkantrohres, insbesondere Vierkantrohres, gedrückt. Diese Selbstreinigung des Gewindes ist besonders deshalb gewährleistet, weil in dem Gewindegrund der Gewindesegmente kein die Verunreinigung festhaltender Durchbruch zum Innenraum des Mehrkantrohres vorhanden ist, sondern an dieser Stelle die Wandstärke des Mehrkantrohres in der Regel nahezu erhalten ist.The invention further relates to a threaded tube which is designed as a polygonal tube, for example as a square tube and has segments of a thread along its edges, the wall thickness in the thread base being essentially the same as in the region of the side walls. Such a thread is very robust. Such a threaded pipe is particularly suitable for use in the construction industry for ceiling or other supports or formwork clamps. Contaminants that settle in the thread segments in the area of the edges are pressed when a threaded nut is screwed out of the thread into the space between the round inner surface of the threaded nut and the flat side surfaces of the polygonal tube, in particular a square tube. This self-cleaning of the thread is ensured in particular because there is no breakthrough to the interior of the polygonal tube that holds the contamination in the thread base of the threaded segments, but the wall thickness of the polygonal tube is generally almost preserved at this point.
