Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Preßwerkzeug zur Verformung von Edelstahlmembranen für Vakuum-Wärmeisolations-Elemente in einer Presse, das eine einen Preßdruck aufnehmende Grundplatte und eine in Richtung auf diese verfahrbaren und Preßdruck ausübenden Deckplatte aufweist, wobei benachbart zu einem zu verformenden Rohling ein die Preßkräfte in Querrichtung zur Bewegungsrichtung der Deckplatte umlenkender Gummistempel vorgesehen ist. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Verwendung eines Preßwerkzeuges zur Verformung von Edelstahlmembranen für Vakuum-Isolations-Elemente. Derartige Preßwerkzeuge sind in der FR-A-2 270 025 und in der DE-C-540 246 beschrieben, allerdings nicht zur Herstellung von Membranen, sondern von Fahrzeugfelgen und WellrohrenThe invention relates to a pressing tool for deforming stainless steel membranes for vacuum heat insulation elements in a press, which is a pressing pressure receiving base plate and a movable towards this and pressing pressure exercising cover plate, being adjacent to a blank to be deformed a deflecting the pressing forces in the transverse direction to the direction of movement of the cover plate Rubber stamp is provided. The invention further relates to the use of a Pressing tool for deforming stainless steel membranes for vacuum insulation elements. Such pressing tools are in FR-A-2 270 025 and in DE-C-540 246, but not for the production of membranes, but of Vehicle rims and corrugated pipes

Wärmeisolations-Elemente sind ausführlich in der Europäischen Patentschrift EP-B-0 263 928 beschrieben. Sie sind in der Regel plattenfömige metallische Vakuumhüllen, deren stirnseitige Randbereiche Wärmenbrücken zwischen Bodenblech und Deckblech ausbilden. Um die durch diese Wärmebrücken erzeugten Verluste zu minimieren, reduziert man die Wanddicke der Hülle in diesem Bereich und verlängert die Verbindung zwischen Bodenblech und Deckblech, in der man stirnseitige Membranen als umlaufenden Faltenbalg ausführt.Thermal insulation elements are detailed in the European patent EP-B-0 263,928. They are usually plate-shaped metallic vacuum envelopes, the front edge areas of thermal bridges between the floor panel and Form cover plate. To minimize the losses caused by these thermal bridges, reduce the wall thickness of the shell in this area and extend the Connection between the floor panel and the cover panel, in which there are front membranes as a circumferential bellows.

Um das Vakuum an den Stirnseiten sicherzustellen, ist es erforderlich, daß die Edelstahlmembranen aus ringförmig verschweißten Edelstahl-Metallstreifen hergestellt werden. Fertigungstechnisch hat es sich allerdings als außerordentlich schwierig erwiesen, derartige faltenbalgartige Membranen mit der erforderlichen Präzision herzustellen. Insbesondere die Verwendung von Rollformern führte nicht zu dem gewünschten Ergebnis, da auch die Randbreiche der Edelstahlmembranen glatt und homogen ausgebildet sein müssen, um ohne Fehlstellen mit den Platten der Wärmeisolations-Elemente verbunden werden zu können.To ensure the vacuum on the end faces, it is necessary that the stainless steel membranes made of ring-welded stainless steel metal strips will. In terms of manufacturing technology, however, it has proven to be extremely difficult to produce such bellows-type membranes with the required precision. In particular, the use of roll formers did not lead to the desired Result, since the edge areas of the stainless steel membranes are smooth and homogeneous must be trained to be without defects with the panels of the heat insulation elements to be able to be connected.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Preßwerkzeug aus der eingangs genannten Art für eine Verwendung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem einfach, präzise und kostengünstig Edelstahlmembranen hergestellt werden können.The object of the present invention is therefore a press tool from the beginning to create the type mentioned for use of the type mentioned at the beginning, with the stainless steel membranes can be manufactured simply, precisely and inexpensively.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Kombination der Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This task is accomplished by combining the features Claim 1 solved.

Durch die Verwendung des Gummistempels, der aufgrund seiner Elastizität, seine Volumenkonstanz bei der Verformbarkeit den aus einem Edelstalllstreifen zu einem Endlosband verschweißten Rohling in seinem ganzen Umfang gleichzeitig verformt, kommt man ohne komplizierte und mechanische aufwendige Preßvorrichtungen aus. Der Gummistempel ist vergleichsweise preiswert in der Herstellung und kann viele Male verwendet werden. Es ist auch möglich, ohne Änderung des Gummistempels unterschiedlich geformte Formmatrizen zu verwenden.By using the rubber stamp, which due to its elasticity, its Volume consistency in the formability of the one stable strip into one Continuous band welded blank deformed in its entire circumference at the same time, one gets along without complicated and mechanically complex pressing devices. The rubber stamp is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and can do many Times. It is also possible without changing the rubber stamp to use differently shaped form matrices.

Das Preßwerkzeug zur Verformung von Edelstahlmembranen besteht im wesentlichen aus einer einen Preßdruck aufnehmenden Grundplatte 1 und einer in Richtung auf diese verfahrbaren und Preßdruck ausübenden Deckplatte 12, wobei in der benachbart zu einem zu verformenden Rohling 3 auf seiner einen Seite eine Formmatrize 4 und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Rohlings 3 ein Gummistempel 5 vorgesehen sind. Die Formmatrize 4 weist eine einer herzustellenden Edelstahlmembran entsprechende faltenbalgartige Oberfläche 6 auf, die auf dem Rohling 3 bei seiner Verformung aufgepreßt wird. Der Gummistempel 5 weist eine zentrale Preßfläche 7 auf, die dem Rohling 3 zugekehrt ist und der jeweils zwei entgegen der Preßrichtung abgeschrägten Flankenflächen 8, 9 benachbart sind. Diese Flankenflächen 8, 9 weisen jeweils größere Abmessungen auf, als die zentrale Preßfläche 7 des Gummistempels 5.The pressing tool for deforming stainless steel membranes essentially consists from a base plate 1 receiving a pressure and one in the direction of this movable and pressing pressure exerting cover plate 12, in which adjacent to a blank 3 to be deformed on one side a molding die 4 and a rubber stamp 5 are provided on the opposite sides of the blank 3. The molding die 4 has a stainless steel membrane to be produced bellows-like surface 6, which is pressed onto the blank 3 during its deformation becomes. The rubber stamp 5 has a central pressing surface 7, which Blank 3 is facing and the two each bevelled against the pressing direction Flank surfaces 8, 9 are adjacent. These flank surfaces 8, 9 each have Larger dimensions than the central pressing surface 7 of the rubber stamp 5.

Die Formmatrize 4 ist in Bewegungsrichtung des Preßstempels zwischen einer unteren Matrizenträgerplatte 10 und einer oberen Matrizenabdeckplatte 11 eingespannt. Zwischen der Grundplatte 1 und der Matrizenträgerplatte 10 sowie zwischen der Matrizenabdeckplatte 11 und der von dem Preßstrempel 2 beaufschlagten Deckplatte 12 erstrecken sich Gummifedern 13, 14, über die die Matrizenträgerplatte 10, die Matrizenabdeckplatte 11 und die zwischen ihnen angeorndeten Formmatrizen 4 bei einem Preßvorgang, in ihrer Lage gehaltert werden, wenn die Deckplatte 12 in Richtung auf die Grundplatte 1 herabgedrückt wird. Die Grundplatte 1 und die Deckplatte 12 sind jeweils mit aufeinander gerichteten Stempeln versehen, zwischen denen und jeweils einer Auflagerfläche 17, 18, des Gummistempels 5 sich Preßkräfte übertragende Platinen 19, 20 erstrecken. Diese Platinen 19, 20 sind aus einem volumenkostanten elastischen Kunststoff, der beispielsweise ein Urelastkunststoff sein kann, gefertigt. Die Platinen 19, 20, sind in horizontalen Richtungen an der Matrizenträgerplatte 10, der Matrizenabdeckplatte 11 und einem diesem gegenüberliegenden Abstützblock 21 abgestützt. Auch der Gummistempel 5 ist an seiner dem Rohling 3 abgewandten Rückfläche 22 an dem Abstützblock 21 abgestützt. Zwischen dem Gummistempel 5 im Bereich der zentralen Preßfläche 7 und der Flankenfläche 8, 9 und der Oberfläche 6 der Formmatrize 4 ist ein Hohlraum 23 ausgebildet, der bei Beendigung eines Preßvorganges vollständig von dem Gummistempel 5 und der Edelstahlmembrane 24 ausgefüllt ist. Der Rohling 3 besteht aus einem zu einem Endlosstreifen verschweißten Edelstahlblechstreifen, der vorzugsweise eine Stärke von 0,15 mm aufweist. Diese Materialstärke hat sich als einerseits hinreichend stabil erwiesen und ist andererseits durch Einsatz des Gummistempels 5 ausreichend präzise verformbar.The form die 4 is in the direction of movement of the ram between a lower one Die carrier plate 10 and an upper die cover plate 11 clamped. Between the base plate 1 and the die carrier plate 10 and between the die cover plate 11 and the cover plate 12 acted upon by the pressing die 2 extend rubber springs 13, 14, over which the die support plate 10, the die cover plate 11 and the mold dies 4 arranged between them at one Pressing process, be held in position when the cover plate 12 in the direction of the base plate 1 is pressed down. The base plate 1 and the cover plate 12 are each with stamps facing each other, between which and each a support surface 17, 18, the rubber stamp 5 transferring pressure plates 19, 20 extend. These boards 19, 20 are made of a volume-constant elastic Plastic, which can be, for example, an Urelast plastic. The Boards 19, 20 are in horizontal directions on the die carrier plate 10, the Matrix cover plate 11 and a support block 21 opposite this supported. The rubber stamp 5 is also on its rear surface facing away from the blank 3 22 supported on the support block 21. Between the rubber stamp 5 in the area the central pressing surface 7 and the flank surface 8, 9 and the surface 6 of the Forming die 4, a cavity 23 is formed, which is at the end of a pressing process completely filled by the rubber stamp 5 and the stainless steel membrane 24 is. The blank 3 consists of a welded into an endless strip Stainless steel sheet strip, which preferably has a thickness of 0.15 mm. This Material strength has proven to be sufficiently stable on the one hand and is on the other hand sufficiently deformable by using the rubber stamp 5.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung wird mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Preßwerkzeug wie folgt durchgeführt:The inventive use is with the press tool according to the invention carried out as follows:

Nachdem zunächst der Rohling 3 in den Hohlraum 23 eingelegt und die Vorrichtung für ihren Einsatz zusammengesetzt ist, übt der Preßstempel 2 Druckkräfte auf die Deckplatte 12 aus, wodurch die Deckplatte 12 in Richtung auf die Grundplatte 1 bewegt wird. Dabei werden die Stempel 15, 16 ebenfalls aufeinander zubewegt und die Gummifedern 13, 14 zusammengepreßt, so daß die Matrizenträgerplatte 10 und die Matrizenabdeckplatte 11 die Formmatrize 4 festlegen. Über die Platinen 19, 20 werden die Druckkäfte in die Gummistempel 5 eingeleitet. Da dieser auf seiner der Formmatrize 4 abgewandten Rückfläche 22 so abgestützt ist, so daß das Gummimaterial des Gummistempels 5 in diese Richtung nicht ausweichen kann, wird die zentrale Preßfläche 7 des Gummistempels 5 in den Hohlraum 23 vorgeschoben und preßt bei fortschreitender Druckbeaufschlagung den Rohling 3 auf die faltenbalgartige Oberfläche 6 der Formmatrize 4. Die Randstreifen 25 des Rohlings 3 legen sich zunächst an die Flankenflächen 8, 9 des Gummistempels 5 an. Bei weiterer Druckbeaufschlagung wird jedoch das Gummimaterial des Gummistempels 5 soweit in den Hohlraum 23 hineingepreßt, daß die Randstreifen 25 von den Flankenflächen 8, 9 auf die Seitenflächen 26, 27 der Formmatrize 4 aufgepreßt werden und der Hohlraum 23, vollständig von dem Gummimaterial des Gummistempels 5 und der dann fertiggestellten Edelstahlmembrane 24 ausgefüllt ist. Nach Beendigung der Druckbeaufschlagung gibt der Gummistempel 5 den Hohlraum 23 wieder frei, so daß dieser geöffnet und die Edelstahlmembrane 24 entnommen werden kann.After the blank 3 is first inserted into the cavity 23 and the device is composed for their use, the press ram exerts 2 compressive forces on the Cover plate 12, whereby the cover plate 12 moves in the direction of the base plate 1 becomes. The stamp 15, 16 are also moved towards each other and the Rubber springs 13, 14 compressed so that the die carrier plate 10 and the Die cover plate 11 define the die 4. Be over the boards 19, 20 the pressure forces are introduced into the rubber stamp 5. Since this on his the Forming die 4 facing back surface 22 is supported so that the rubber material the rubber stamp 5 can not evade in this direction, the central Pressing surface 7 of the rubber stamp 5 is pushed into the cavity 23 and pressed with increasing pressure, the blank 3 on the bellows-like Surface 6 of the molding die 4. The edge strips 25 of the blank 3 initially lay down to the flank surfaces 8, 9 of the rubber stamp 5. With further pressurization However, the rubber material of the rubber stamp 5 so far into the cavity 23 pressed in that the edge strips 25 of the flank surfaces 8, 9 on the Side surfaces 26, 27 of the molding die 4 are pressed on and the cavity 23, completely of the rubber material of the rubber stamp 5 and then finished Stainless steel membrane 24 is filled. After pressurization is complete the rubber stamp 5 releases the cavity 23 again, so that it opens and the Stainless steel membrane 24 can be removed.
