Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Arbeitsverfahren zum Herstellen von Großrohren aus Blechtafeln in einer Großrohrpreßanlage mit einer Presse, in der die Werkzeuge zum Verformen des Bleches zu einem Schlitzrohr angeordnet sind, sowie eine Presse zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 bzw. 2 (siehe z.B. DE-B-1 183 465).The invention relates to a working method for producing large pipes Metal sheets in a large pipe press with a press in which the tools arranged to deform the sheet into a slotted tube, and a press for performing this method according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2 (see e.g. DE-B-1 183 465).

Zum Herstellen von Großrohren aus Blechplatten sind im wesentlichen drei Verfahren gebräuchlich, nämlich das UOE-VERFAHREN, das Dreiwalzen-Biegeverfahren und das C-Pressenverfahren. Beim UOE-Verfahren wird eine in einer Kantenanbiegepresse vorbereitete Blechtafel einer U-Presse zugeführt, in der ein Vorrunden des Bleches erfolgt. Im Anschluß daran wird das vorgerundete Blech in der O-Presse fertig geformt. Das Anbiegen der Kanten erfolgt, damit sich bei der späteren Verformung zum Schlitzrohr der gewünschte Rohrradius bis zum Schlitz hin erstreckt und ist eine Voraussetzung für die kreisrunde Form des geschweißten Rohres im späteren Nahtbereich. Die Kantenanbiegepresse besteht gewöhnlich aus zwei Pressen, die auf einen gemeinsamen Grundrahmen verschiebbar angeordnet sind und sich gegenüberstehen. Auf beiden Seiten der Blechplatte befinden sich die Anbiegewerkzeuge für die Kanten. Das so vorbereitete Blech gelangt in die U-Presse, die aus einem Pressenständer in Schweißkonstruktion besteht, der in einem Pressenrahmen zusammengefaßt ist. Im Obergurt des Pressenständers sind die Preßzylinder eingesetzt, an deren Preßkolben der obere Preßstempel mit den Preßwerkzeugen angebracht ist. Seitliche Druckrollen und im Unterteil der Presse höhenverstellbar angeordnete Prismen dienen als Widerlager für die Wirkung des oberen Pressenwerkzeuges, um das U-förmige Vorrohr anzubiegen. Das derartig vorgeformte Blech gelangt in die O-Presse, in der eine von der Rohrlänge abhängige Anzahl von Einzelpressen in einer starren Rahmenkonstruktion zusammengefaßt sind. Die Pressenholme sind so ausgebildet, daß eine gleichmäßige Verteilung der Preßkräfte auf die vorgesehenen Preßzylinder gewährleistet ist, wobei an dem oberen Laufholm, der an dem Pressenständer geführt ist, die oberen Pressenwerkzeuge befestigt sind. Das Oberwerkzeug formt in Verbindung mit dem entsprechend gestalteten Unterwerkzeug das U-förmige Vorrohr zu einem O-Rohr, dessen endgültige Kalibrierung nach dem Verschweißen des Spaltes durch einen mechanischen Expander, d.h. Aufweiten des Rohrdurchmessers, gewährleistet wird.There are essentially three for producing large tubes from sheet metal plates Process in use, namely the UOE PROCESS, the three-roll bending process and the C press process. In the UOE process, one in a sheet press prepared sheet metal fed to a U-press, in which is a preliminary rounding of the sheet. After that the pre-rounded Sheet formed in the O-press. The edges are bent so that itself in the later deformation to the slotted tube, the desired tube radius up to Slit extends and is a prerequisite for the circular shape of the welded pipe in the later seam area. The edge bending press exists usually made up of two presses on a common base frame are slidably arranged and face each other. On both sides of the Sheet metal plate are the bending tools for the edges. That so prepared sheet goes into the U-press, which comes in from a press stand Welded construction exists, which is summarized in a press frame. The press cylinders are inserted in the upper flange of the press stand Press plunger the upper press ram is attached with the press tools. Lateral pressure rollers and height-adjustable ones in the lower part of the press Prisms serve as abutments for the action of the upper press tool, to bend the U-shaped down tube. The sheet preformed in this way gets into the O-press, in which a number of individual presses depending on the pipe length are combined in a rigid frame construction. The press bars are designed so that a uniform distribution of the pressing forces on the provided press cylinder is ensured, the upper is guided on the press stand, the upper press tools are attached. The upper tool forms in connection with the correspondingly designed one Lower the U-shaped down tube to an O-tube, the final one Calibration after welding the gap by a mechanical Expander, i.e. Expansion of the pipe diameter is guaranteed.

Beim Drei-Walzenbiegeverfahren werden gleichfalls die Blechkanten außerhalb der Maschine vorgebogen, es sei denn es werden Vier-Walzenblechbiegemaschinen verwendet, in denen auch das Anbiegen vorgenommen werden kann. Die Drei-Walzenbiegemaschine besteht aus drei langen Walzen, deren Länge durch die mögliche Abstützlänge begrenzt ist. Die beiden Unterwalzen, die in ihrem Durchmesser kleiner als die Oberwalze sind, dienen als Widerlager für das durch die Oberwalze verformte Blech, das zwischen Oberwalze und Unterwalzen bei einstellbarem Gegendruck zu einem O-Rohr geformt wird. Ein anschließendes Richten und Kalibrieren in einer Richt- und Kalibrierpresse oder mittels eines mechanischen Expanders ist unumgänglich.In the three-roll bending process, the sheet edges are also outside pre-bent the machine, unless there are four-roll plate bending machines used in which also the bending can be made. The three-roll bending machine consists of three long rollers, the length of which is limited by the possible support length. The two bottom rollers, which are smaller in diameter than the top roller, serve as an abutment for the sheet deformed by the top roller, which between Top roller and bottom roller with adjustable back pressure to an O-tube is formed. A subsequent straightening and calibration in a straightening and Calibration press or using a mechanical expander is essential.

Die C-Presse wird gleichfalls zum Formen eines an den Kanten vorgebogenen Bleches zu einem Schlitzrohr benutzt. Die C-Pressenanlage besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei versetzt gegenüberstehenden C-Pressen, die ihrerseits aus mehreren C-förmig gebauten Gerüsten bestehen, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Jedes C-Gerüst ist mit einem Werkzeugsatz ausgerüstet, der aus einem Ober- und Unterteil besteht. Das Werkzeugoberteil befindet sich an einem senkrecht angeordneten Schwert, das am oberen Teil des Rahmens befestigt ist. Das untere Werkzeug befindet sich auf einem beweglichen Tisch, und besteht gewöhnlich aus zwei in Längsrichtung angeordneten, in ihrem Abstand veränderbaren Leisten, die als Widerlager für das zu formende Blech dienen. Das zu einem O-Rohr verformte Blech ist auch bei diesem Verfahren einem Richt- oder Kalibriervorgang zu unterziehen oder nach dem Schweißen mechanisch zu expandieren.The C press is also used to form a pre-bent edge Sheets used for a slotted tube. The C press system consists of essentially from two staggered C-presses, which in turn consist of several C-shaped scaffolds that are side by side are arranged. Each C-stand is equipped with a tool set that consists of an upper and lower part. The upper part of the tool is on a vertically arranged sword that is on the upper part of the frame is attached. The lower tool is on a movable table, and usually consists of two arranged longitudinally, in theirs Distance adjustable strips, which act as an abutment for the sheet to be formed serve. The sheet formed into an O-tube is also in this process undergo a straightening or calibration process or after welding expand mechanically.

Wie die sehr ausführliche Beschreibung der bekannten Verfahren erkennen läßt, sind für die Herstellung eines Großrohres eine Reihe von Arbeitsschritten erforderlich, die in den unterschiedlichsten Aggregaten (Anbiegepresse, U-Presse, O-Presse, Expander, Kalibrierpresse etc.) ausgeführt werden. Eine Großrohrpreßanlage bedeutet somit stets eine erhebliche Investition für ein Rohrwerk, darüber hinaus ist stets ein beachtlicher Platzbedarf für die Installation der Anlagenteile erforderlich.As can be seen from the very detailed description of the known methods, are a series of steps for the production of a large pipe required in the most diverse units (bending press, U-press, O-press, expander, calibration press, etc.). A Large tube press system therefore always means a significant investment for one Pipe works, moreover, is always a considerable space requirement for the installation of the system parts required.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von den bekannten Verfahren und Pressen zur Großrohrherstellung, ein Arbeitsverfahren und eine Presse zu finden, die durch geringe Investitionskosten und geringen Platzbedarf gekennzeichnet ist und damit auch für Rohrwerke interessant ist, bei denen sich - beispielsweise wegen geringerer Stückzahlen - große Investitionskosten nicht rentieren.The object of the present invention is based on the known methods and presses for producing large pipes, finding a working method and a press that is characterized by low investment costs and small space requirements and is therefore also interesting for pipe works where - for example because of lower quantities - large investment costs do not pay off.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren bzw. durch eine Presse mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 2 gelöst.This task is accomplished by a method or by a press with the characteristics of Claim 1 and 2 solved.

Wenn es gelingt, in ein und demselben Pressengestell alle bekannten Arbeitsschritte durchzuführen, so wird ein Großteil der für zusätzliche Aggregate erforderlichen Investitionskosten erspart. Dabei müssen lediglich Maßnahmen vorgesehen werden, um die zu verwendenden Werkzeuge gegeneinander austauschen zu können, und es müssen Aggregate vorgesehen werden, mit denen die Werkzeuge manipulierbar sind. If it succeeds, all known ones in the same press frame To carry out work steps, much of that for additional aggregates necessary investment costs saved. All you have to do is take measures be provided to counter the tools to be used to be able to exchange, and units must be provided with where the tools can be manipulated.

Durch vereinheitliche Befestigungen für die einzelnen Werkzeuge, wobei die ggf. Adapter Verwendung finden können, wird es möglich, die vorbereiteten Werkzeuge nach Bedarf ein- und auszuwechseln, ohne dafür zusätzliche Aggregate, wie U- und O-Pressen oder Biegepressen vorsehen zu müssen.Through standardized fastenings for the individual tools, the Adapters can be used, it becomes possible to use the prepared ones Tools can be exchanged and replaced as required without additional ones To have to provide units such as U and O presses or bending presses.

Nach einem Merkmal der Erfindung besteht der Manipulator aus einem Wechselwagen, der in Längsrichtung des zu formenden Rohres zusammen mit dem zu wechselnden Werkzeug seitlich aus der Presse heraus und in diese einfahrbar ist. Der Wechselwagen nimmt die Werkzeuge auf, von wo aus diese in Wartepositionen oder in Zurichtbetriebe transportiert werden können.According to a feature of the invention, the manipulator consists of a Change car, which along with the pipe to be formed the tool to be changed laterally out of and into the press is retractable. The change car takes the tools from where they come in Waiting positions or can be transported in preparation plants.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung zwei Wechselwagen vorgesehen sind, die abwechselnd einsetzbar sind. Somit können vorbereitete Werkzeuge schnell ausgetauscht werden, wobei - wie bei Walzenwechselaggregaten in Walzwerken bekannt- die Wechselwagen auf einer Querverschiebeeinrichtung angeordnet und in Wechselstellung verbringbar sind und ggf. mit dem jeweiligen Werkzeug in der Presse verbleiben.It is particularly favorable if, according to a further feature of the invention, two Exchange cars are provided, which can be used alternately. So you can prepared tools can be replaced quickly, whereby - as with Roll changing units known in rolling mills - the changing carts on one Transverse displacement device are arranged and can be moved to the change position and possibly remain in the press with the respective tool.

Die vorliegende Erfindung vereinfacht Großrohranlagen erheblich, sodaß sich selbst dann, wenn die verwendete Presse durch entsprechende Einrichtungen den Multifunktionen angepaßt werden muß, noch deutliche Einsparungen an Investitionskosten ergeben. Der erforderliche Platzbedarf reduziert sich erheblich.The present invention considerably simplifies large pipe systems, so that even if the press used by appropriate facilities the multifunction must be adjusted, significant savings Investment costs result. The required space is reduced considerably.

In einer grob schematischen Darstellung ist eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Presse erkennbar, die nachfolgend beschrieben wird.A roughly schematic representation is a preferred embodiment of a press according to the invention recognizable, which is described below.

In den Zeichnungsfiguren ist eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Presse jeweils in drei Ansichten dargestellt; sie besteht aus dem Pressenrahmen 1, der am Fundament 2 befestigt ist und aus den Portalen 1a und 1b besteht, die über Längsholme 3 miteinander verbunden sind. An den Längsholmen stützen sich die Pressenzylinder 4 ab, deren Kolben 5 auf den Biegebalken wirken.In the drawing figures, a preferred embodiment of the press is in three Views shown; it consists of the press frame 1, the foundation 2 is fixed and consists of the portals 1a and 1b, which over the longitudinal bars 3rd are interconnected. They are supported on the longitudinal spars Press cylinder 4, the pistons 5 act on the bending beam.

In der unteren Pressenhälfte befindet sich auf einem Tisch 7 das Unterwerkzeug mit Widerlagern 8, das quer zur Pressenlängsachse verschiebbar ist und dadurch den Kantenbiegevorgang der Blechtafel ermöglicht. Durch schrittweises Einformen der Bleche 9 mit dem Biegeschwert 6 über die Widerlager 8 lassen sich Schlitzrohre herstellen, die einen nahezu geschlossenen Querschnitt aufweisen. Nachdem diese Schlitzrohre durch Außen- und IInnenschweißung zu einem Rundrohr zusammengeschweißt wurden, müssen sie kalibriert und gerichtet werden. Dazu werden sie der Multifunktionspresse erneut zugeführt.The lower tool is located on a table 7 in the lower half of the press with abutments 8, which is displaceable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the press and thereby enables the sheet metal edge bending process. By gradual Let the sheet metal 9 with the bending bar 6 over the abutment 8 produce slotted tubes with an almost closed cross-section exhibit. After these slotted tubes through external and internal welding too welded together in a round tube, they must be calibrated and be judged. To do this, they are fed back into the multifunction press.

Die für den Biege- und Richtprozeß erfordrlichen Werkzeuge sind auswechselbar mit dem Biegebalken 15 und dem Tisch 7 verbunden. In Fig.1 ist das Oberwekzeug als Schwert 6 ausgeführt. In Fig.2 sind Kalibrier- und Richtwerkzeuge vorgesehen.The tools required for the bending and straightening process are interchangeable connected to the bending beam 15 and the table 7. In Fig.1 that is Upper tool designed as a sword 6. In Fig.2 are calibration and Straightening tools provided.

Um den Werkzeugwechsel schnell durchführen zu können und damit die Multifunktionsweise der Presse sicherzustellen, sind Werkzeugwechselwagen vorgesehen, auf die die erforderlichen Werkzeuge aufgebaut sind, wobei die Werkzeuge auch direkt als Wechselwagen ausgeführt werden können.Das Ein- und Ausfahren der Wagen erfolgt über ein Schienensystem 10;12, damit der Werkzeugwechsel in den Nebenzeiten der Presse durchgeführt werden kann und die Verfügbarkeit der Presse selbst erhöht wird.In order to be able to carry out the tool change quickly and thus the Tool changing trolleys are used to ensure the multifunctionality of the press provided on which the necessary tools are built, the Tools can also be carried out directly as exchangeable trolleys The cars are extended via a rail system 10; 12 so that the Tool change can be carried out in the idle times of the press and the availability of the press itself is increased.

Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten: Der Wechselwagen mit aufgesetzten Werkzeugen verbleibt in der Presse, in diesem Fall sind mindestens zwei Wagen erforderlich. Es kann jedoch auch ein Wagen verwendet werden, der für den jeweiligen Werkzeugwechsel in die Presse eingefahren wird.There are two options: The change carriage with attached tools remains in the press, in this case at least two carriages are required. However, it is also possible to use a cart that is suitable for the respective Tool change is inserted into the press.

Um einen schnellen Werkzeugwechsel vornehmen zu können, ist das Schienensystem vor der Presse so angeordnet, daß durch Querverfahren das jeweilige Wekzeug schnell und effizient eingesetzt werden kann.In order to be able to make a quick tool change, this is Rail system arranged in front of the press so that the each tool can be used quickly and efficiently.
