Description

  • La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'emboutissage de matériaux en feuille, notamment de flans de tôle sur une presse simple effet du type comprenant, d'une part, un coussin en un matériau élastique incompressible formant un poinçon et logé dans un bac de rétention et, d'autre part, des moyens de préformage et de formage définitif dudit flan de tôle.The present invention relates to a device for stamping sheet materials, in particular sheet blanks on a single-acting press of the type comprising, on the one hand, a cushion of an incompressible elastic material forming a punch and housed in a tray retention and, on the other hand, means for preforming and definitive forming of said sheet blank.
  • On connaît dans le FR-A-2 641 215 un dispositif d'emboutissage de matériaux en feuille, notamment de flans de tôle, comprenant un coussin en matériau élastique logé dans un bac de rétention, des moyens de préformage du flan de tôle constitués par un coulisseau extérieur portant un serre-flan supérieur et des moyens de formage définitif dudit flan de tôle constitués par un coulisseau central agissant sur un poinçon.FR-A-2 641 215 discloses a device for stamping sheet materials, in particular sheet blanks, comprising a cushion of elastic material housed in a retention tank, means for preforming the sheet blank formed by an outer slider carrying an upper blank holder and means for definitive forming of said sheet blank formed by a central slider acting on a punch.
  • Ce dispositif comporte également un serre-flan inférieur constitué par un élément de support et de maintien d'au moins une partie du flan de tôle, placé directement sur le coussin et coopérant avec le serre-flan supérieur pour serrer au moins dans des zones localisées le flan de tôle.This device also comprises a lower blank holder consisting of a support and holding element for at least part of the sheet blank, placed directly on the cushion and cooperating with the upper blank holder to tighten at least in localized areas. the sheet metal blank.
  • Pour le formage du flan de tôle, le serre-flan inférieur pénètre dans le bac de rétention et comprime par réaction le coussin en matériau élastique. For forming the sheet blank, the lower blank clamp enters the retention tank and compresses the cushion of elastic material by reaction.
  • Ainsi, le coussin sous l'effet de cette action périphérique agit sur la zone centrale du flan de tôle et provoque un préformage dudit flan. Thus, the cushion under the effect of this peripheral action acts on the central zone of the sheet blank and causes a preforming of said blank.
  • Le gonflement de la partie centrale du flan de tôle est limité par le poinçon afin d'éviter les déformations erratiques incontrôlées. The swelling of the central part of the sheet blank is limited by the punch in order to avoid uncontrolled erratic deformations.
  • Ensuite, un coulisseau central de la presse provoque la descente dudit poinçon qui entraîne en même temps le serre-flan périphérique supérieur pour le formage final de la partie centrale du flan de tôle. Then, a central slide of the press causes the descent of said punch which at the same time drives the upper peripheral blank holder for the final forming of the central part of the sheet blank.
  • Un tel dispositif comprend nécessairement deux coulisseaux, un coulisseau extérieur portant le serre-flan supérieur et un coulisseau central agissant sur le poinçon. Such a device necessarily comprises two sliders, an outer slider carrying the upper blank holder and a central slider acting on the punch.
  • Or, les presses de transfert de carrosserie et les presses actuellement utilisées par les fabricants de pièces prototypes ou de petites séries comportent généralement un seul coulisseau d'emboutissage. However, body transfer presses and presses currently used by manufacturers of prototype parts or small series generally have a single stamping slide.
  • Il n'est donc pas possible de réaliser, avec une presse à un seul coulisseau dite à simple effet en un seul cycle de presse et avec un seul outil, une opération de préformage et successivement une opération de formage définitif du flan de tôle par une technique dite d'élastoformage, technique dans laquelle, on provoque le fluage de la masse du coussin élastique pour déformer uniformément la partie centrale du flan de tôle de façon à lui donner une surface sensiblement égale à la surface de la pièce finie à obtenir, et on forme la partie centrale de la tôle préalablement étirée de façon à lui donner le volume anguleux correspondant à la forme finale de la pièce à obtenir.It is therefore not possible to carry out, with a press with a single slide called a single-acting press in a single press cycle and with a single tool, a preforming operation and successively a final forming operation of the sheet blank by a so-called elastoforming technique, technique in which the mass of the elastic cushion is caused to creep in order to uniformly deform the central part of the sheet blank so as to give it a surface substantially equal to the surface of the finished part to be obtained, and the central part of the previously stretched sheet is formed so as to give it the angular volume corresponding to the final shape of the part to be obtained.
  • La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif d'emboutissage notamment de flans de tôle, utilisant la technique dite d'élastoformage avec une presse simple effet c'est à dire à un coulisseau.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a drawing device, in particular sheet metal blanks, using the technique known as elastoforming with a single-effect press, that is to say a slider.
  • La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif d'emboutissage de matériaux en feuille, notamment de flans de tôle, sur une presse simple effet comprenant, d'une part, un coussin en un matériau élastique, notamment incompressible, formant un poinçon et logé dans un bac de rétention et, d'autre part, des moyens de préformage et de formage définitif dudit flan de tôle, dans lequel les moyens de préformage et de formage définitif sont disposés dans une matrice comprenant un bâti sur lequel prend appui le coulisseau de la presse à simple effet, un serre-flan périphérique supérieur relié au bâti par au moins un organe élastique de réaction, de détente et de retenue, un fond de matrice disposé dans le serre-flan périphérique supérieur, et des moyens de positionnement de fond de matrice par rapport au serre-flan périphérique supérieur, ledit serre-flan périphérique supérieur et ledit fond de matrice étant montés coulissant l'un par rapport à l'autre et comprenant des moyens de liaison momentanée entre eux.The present invention therefore relates to a device for stamping sheet materials, in particular sheet blanks, on a single-acting press comprising, on the one hand, a cushion made of an elastic material, in particular incompressible, forming a punch and housed in a retention tank and, on the other hand, means for preforming and definitive forming of said sheet blank, in which the means for preforming and final forming are arranged in a matrix comprising a frame on which the slide of the single-acting press is supported, an upper peripheral blank holder connected to the frame by at least one elastic member for reaction, relaxation and retention, a matrix bottom disposed in the upper peripheral blank holder, and means for positioning the matrix bottom relative to the upper peripheral blank holder, said upper peripheral blank holder and said matrix bottom being slidably mounted one with respect to the other and comprising means of temporary connection between them.

  • Le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et le fond de matrice 10 sont montés coulissant librement l'un par rapport à l'autre.The upper peripheral blank holder 9 and the die bottom 10 are mounted to slide freely relative to one another.
  • Le fond de matrice 10 comporte à sa partie supérieure, un épaulement 10a formant une butée et assurant lorsque celui-ci est en contact avec une surface d'appui 9a du serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9, c'est à dire en fin de course du coulisseau 7, une empreinte 12 dont la géométrie correspond à la forme de la pièce à réaliser.The bottom of the matrix 10 has at its upper part, a shoulder 10a forming a stop and ensuring when the latter is in contact with a bearing surface 9a of the upper peripheral blank holder 9, that is to say at the end of the race. of the slide 7, an imprint 12 whose geometry corresponds to the shape of the part to be produced.
  • La position du fond de matrice 10 pour réaliser l'empreinte 12 est assurée par la pression directe du bâti 8 et du coulisseau 7 sur ledit fond de matrice 10 qui s'appuie par son épaulement 10a sur la surface d'appui 9a du serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 ou, selon une variante, par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un organe élastique de réaction, de détente et de retenue, non représenté, interposé entre le bâti 8 et le fond de matrice 10.The position of the matrix bottom 10 for making the impression 12 is ensured by the direct pressure of the frame 8 and of the slide 7 on said matrix bottom 10 which is supported by its shoulder 10a on the bearing surface 9a of the clamp. upper peripheral blank 9 or, according to a variant, by means of at least one elastic reaction, expansion and retaining member, not shown, interposed between the frame 8 and the bottom of the matrix 10.
  • Le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et le fond de matrice 10 comportent également des moyens de liaison momentanée entre eux, notamment au moment de la remontée du coulisseau 7 de la presse.The upper peripheral blank holder 9 and the die bottom 10 also comprise momentary connection means between them, in particular at the time of the ascent of the slide 7 of the press.
  • Ces moyens de liaison momentanée sont supportés par le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et sont constitués par un élément mobile 13, comme par exemple une cale, déplaçable horizontalement entre, d'une part, une première position dans laquelle l'élément mobile 13 pénètre partiellement à l'intérieur d'un logement 14 ménagé dans le fond de matrice verrouillant ainsi le fond de matrice 10 et le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 (Fig. 4) et, d'autre part, une seconde position dans laquelle l'élément mobile 13 est complètement escamoté (Fig. 1) libérant le fond de matrice 10 par rapport au serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9.These momentary connection means are supported by the upper peripheral blank holder 9 and are constituted by a mobile element 13, such as for example a wedge, horizontally displaceable between, on the one hand, a first position in which the mobile element 13 penetrates. partially inside a housing 14 formed in the die bottom thus locking the die bottom 10 and the upper peripheral blank holder 9 (Fig. 4) and, secondly, a second position in which the movable element 13 is completely retracted (Fig. 1) releasing the matrix bottom 10 relative to the upper peripheral blank holder 9.
  • Le déplacement de l'élément mobile 13 est commandé soit manuellement, soit par exemple par un vérin 15 automatiquement en synchronisation avec le déplacement du coulisseau 7 de la presse.The movement of the movable element 13 is controlled either manually, or for example by a jack 15 automatically in synchronization with the movement of the slide 7 of the press.
  • Les organes élastiques de réaction, de détente et de retenue interposés entre le bâti 8 et le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et/ou le fond de matrice 10 peuvent être constitués en fonction des efforts exercés et de l'encombrement, par exemple, par des ressorts, des vérins hydrauliques, des vérins à gaz, des coussins élastiques hydrauliques ou en élastomère. The elastic reaction, detent and retaining members interposed between the frame 8 and the upper peripheral blank holder 9 and / or the bottom of the matrix 10 can be formed as a function of the forces exerted and the size, for example, by springs, hydraulic cylinders, gas cylinders, elastic hydraulic or elastomer cushions.
  • Le formage du flan de tôle 5 est réalisé de la façon suivante. The sheet blank 5 is formed as follows.
  • Tout d'abord, on pose le flan de tôle 5 sur le serre-flan périphérique inférieur 4, le coulisseau 7 étant en position haute, puis ce coulisseau 7 et la matrice 10 descendent progressivement. First, the sheet blank 5 is placed on the lower peripheral blank holder 4, the slide 7 being in the high position, then this slide 7 and the matrix 10 descend progressively.
  • Le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 entre en contact avec le flan de tôle 5 dont la partie périphérique est progressivement serrée entre ledit serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et le serre-flan périphérique inférieur 4 (Fig. 1 ). The upper peripheral blank holder 9 comes into contact with the sheet blank 5 whose peripheral part is progressively clamped between said upper peripheral blank holder 9 and the lower peripheral blank holder 4 (FIG. 1).
  • Lors de l'étape de préformage représenté à la Fig. 2, le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 comprime le coussin 2 sous l'effort exercé, d'une part, par le coulisseau 7 de la presse et, d'autre part, par les organes élastiques 11. During the preforming step shown in FIG. 2, the upper peripheral blank holder 9 compresses the cushion 2 under the force exerted, on the one hand, by the slide 7 of the press and, on the other hand, by the elastic members 11.
  • Le coussin 2 sous l'effet de cette action de compression périphérique agit par fluage sur la zone centrale du flan de tôle 5 et provoque le formage dudit flan. The cushion 2 under the effect of this peripheral compression action acts by creep on the central zone of the sheet blank 5 and causes the forming of said blank.
  • Le fond de matrice 10 est alors soulevé par le déplacement du flan de tôle 5 déformé par le coussin 2. The bottom of the matrix 10 is then raised by the displacement of the sheet blank 5 deformed by the cushion 2.
  • Lors de l'étape de formage représentée à la Fig. 3, le fond de matrice 10 est soumis, soit à l'action mécanique du coulisseau 7, soit à l'action mécanique exercée par un organe élastique et par ledit coulisseau. During the forming step shown in FIG. 3, the die bottom 10 is subjected either to the mechanical action of the slide 7, or to the mechanical action exerted by an elastic member and by said slide.
  • Sous l'effet de cette action, le fond de matrice 10 se déplace vers une position basse pour prendre appui par son épaulement 10a sur la surface d'appui 9a du serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et forme la partie centrale du flan de tôle 5.Under the effect of this action, the die bottom 10 moves to a low position to bear by its shoulder 10a on the bearing surface 9a of the upper peripheral blank holder 9 and forms the central part of the sheet blank 5 .
  • Lors de la descente du fond de matrice 10, une remontée du serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 due à l'augmentation de pression dans le coussin 2 permet de compenser les différences de volume entre la pièce préformée et la pièce formée.During the descent of the bottom of the matrix 10, an ascent of the upper peripheral blank holder 9 due to the increase in pressure in the cushion 2 makes it possible to compensate for the differences in volume between the preformed part and the formed part.
  • Ensuite, le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et le fond de matrice 10 sont verrouillés par déplacement de l'élément mobile 13 qui pénètre partiellement dans le logement 14 et est positionné de part et d'autre de la séparation dudit serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et dudit fond de matrice 10, comme représenté à la Fig. 4.Then, the upper peripheral blank holder 9 and the die bottom 10 are locked by displacement of the movable element 13 which partially penetrates into the housing 14 and is positioned on either side of the separation of said upper peripheral blank holder 9 and said matrix bottom 10, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • Lorsque la pièce est formée, le coulisseau 7 se replace vers une position haute (Fig. 5) libérant les organes élastiques du serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et/ou du fond de matrice 10. When the part is formed, the slide 7 is replaced towards a high position (FIG. 5) releasing the elastic members of the upper peripheral blank holder 9 and / or of the bottom of the die 10.
  • Le serre-flan périphérique supérieur 9 et le fond de matrice 10 remontent simultanément évitant ainsi une déformation de la pièce par la pression exercée par le coussin 2. The upper peripheral blank holder 9 and the die bottom 10 rise simultaneously, thus avoiding deformation of the part by the pressure exerted by the cushion 2.
  • Il est également possible d'effectuer des opérations de calibrage en disposant au-dessus du coussin 2, un poinçon de calibrage, non représenté, de forme correspondant aux formes de la pièce finie et de grande dureté Shore, c'est à dire de dureté supérieure à la dureté du matériau du coussin.It is also possible to carry out calibration operations by placing above the cushion 2, a calibration punch, not shown, of shape corresponding to the shapes of the finished piece and of large Shore hardness, i.e. hardness greater than the hardness of the cushion material.
