Abstract

The lugs (13,14) or protrusions are at right angles to the metal surface and extend for further than the thickness of the latter. The method involves using a punch and die to loading the metal beyond the yield point. Part of the metal can be pressed into recesses in the punch and/or die, which forms the negative mould for the lugs or protrusions. Formation can be by punch and die at intervals, while the sheet-metal strip is indexed forward.

Das in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Rechteckrohr 10, das etwa in dem Vierfachen seiner normalen Größe gezeichnet ist, ist zur Verwendung in einem Wärmeübertrager und insbesondere einem Abgaswärmeübertrager bestimmt. Aus einer Vielzahl derartiger Rechteckrohre 10 wird ein Rohrbündel gebildet, das zur Führung von Abgas bestimmt ist. Die Enden der Rohrbündel sind gasdicht jeweils in einem Rohrboden angeordnet, wobei die Rohrböden zusammen mit einem das Rohrbündel umgebenden Außenmantel ein Gehäuse zur Führung eines flüssigen Kühlmittels bilden. Dieses Gehäuse ist zwischen den beiden Rohrböden mit einem Eintritt und einem Austritt für das flüssige Kühlmittel versehen. Ein derartiger Abgaswärmetauscher ist in der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung P 195 40 683.4 offenbart.The rectangular tube 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, which in about is drawn four times its normal size Use in a heat exchanger and especially one Exhaust gas heat exchanger determined. From a variety of such Rectangular tubes 10, a tube bundle is formed, which is used for guidance is determined by exhaust gas. The ends of the tube bundle are arranged gastight in each case in a tube sheet, the Tube sheets together with an outer jacket surrounding the tube bundle a housing for guiding a liquid coolant form. This housing is between the two tube sheets an inlet and an outlet for the liquid coolant Mistake. Such an exhaust gas heat exchanger is not in the Pre-published German patent application P 195 40 683.4 disclosed.

Das Rechteckrohr 10 ist aus zwei U-förmigen Feinblechschalen 11, 12 zusammengesetzt, die an ihren Stegen dicht miteinander verbunden sind, insbesondere verschweißt sind. Von den Böden der beiden Feinblechschalen 11, 12 ragen zum Innern des Rechteckrohres 10 hin Laschen 13, 14 ab, die sich etwa über ein Viertel bis ein Drittel der Höhe des Rechteckrohres erstrecken. Die Laschen 13, 14 sind jeweils paarweise symmetrisch zur Längsmitte des Rechteckrohres 10 angeordnet. Sie laufen in Strömungsrichtung des zu führenden Gases V-förmig auseinander, wobei ihre der Strömungsrichtung zugewandten Enden einen Abstand zueinander einhalten. Die paarweise angeordneten Laschen 13, 14 wiederholen sich über die Länge des Rechteckrohres 10 in regelmäßigen Abständen. Dabei sind die Feinblechschalen 11, 12 derart versetzt zueinander angeordnert, daß die Laschen 13, 14 der Böden der Feinblechschale 11 und der Feinblechschale 12 in Längsrichtung versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind.The rectangular tube 10 is made of two U-shaped sheet metal shells 11, 12 assembled, which are close together at their webs are connected, in particular welded. From the floors of the two sheet metal shells 11, 12 protrude to the inside of the Rectangular tube 10 down tabs 13, 14, which are about extend a quarter to a third of the height of the rectangular tube. The tabs 13, 14 are symmetrical in pairs arranged to the longitudinal center of the rectangular tube 10. she run in a V-shape in the direction of flow of the gas to be guided apart, their ends facing the direction of flow keep a distance from each other. The arranged in pairs Tabs 13, 14 repeat over the length of the Rectangular tube 10 at regular intervals. Here are the Sheet metal trays 11, 12 arranged so offset to one another, that the tabs 13, 14 of the bottoms of the sheet metal tray 11 and the thin sheet metal shell 12 offset from one another in the longitudinal direction are arranged.

Die Laschen 13, 14 sind aus den Böden der Feinblechschalen 11, 12 mittels Massivumformens und insbesondere mittels eines Fließpressens herausgeformt. Hierzu werden die Feinblechstreifen, die später zu den Feinblechhalbschalen 11, 12 umgeformt werden, zwischen einer Matrize und einem Stempel flächig mit Druck derart belastet, daß die Fließgrenze des Blechmaterials überschritten wird und ein Teil des Feinblechmaterials in Schlitze einer Matrize (oder auch des Stempels) hineinfließt, die die Form der Laschen 13, 14 bestimmen. Bei dem in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Feinblechstreifen mittels einer Kreisfläche belastet, die die beiden Laschen 13, 14 umgibt. Es können jedoch noch andere Belastungsflächen vorgesehen werden, beispielsweise quadratische oder rechteckige Flächen oder Flächen, die an die Kontur der zu bildenden Laschen 13, 14 angepaßt sind. Die Feinblechstreifen, die eine Blechstärke von nicht mehr als 1,0 mm aufweisen, werden mittels Fließpressen auf etwa 70% bis etwa 50% ihrer ursprünglichen Blechstärke zusammengedrückt, wodurch sich Laschen 13, 14 von einer Höhe ergeben, deren Höhe ohne weiteres das 1,5-fache der ursprünglichen Blechstärke betragen kann.The tabs 13, 14 are from the bottoms of the sheet metal shells 11, 12 by means of massive forming and in particular by means of a Extruded. For this, the thin sheet strips, which are later formed into the thin sheet metal half-shells 11, 12 become flat between a die and a stamp so loaded with pressure that the yield point of the Sheet material is exceeded and part of the sheet metal material in slots of a die (or also of the stamp) flows, which determine the shape of the tabs 13, 14. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are the thin sheet metal strips by means of a circular area loaded, which surrounds the two tabs 13, 14. However, it can still other load areas are provided, for example square or rectangular surfaces or surfaces, adapted to the contour of the tabs 13, 14 to be formed are. The thin sheet strips, which have a sheet thickness of not exceed 1.0 mm, are extruded to about 70% to about 50% of their original sheet thickness compressed, causing tabs 13, 14 to be of one height result, the amount of which is easily 1.5 times the original Sheet thickness can be.

In Fig. 3 ist schematisch eine Vorrichtung dargestellt, mittels der das Massivumformen zum Bilden der Laschen durchgeführt werden kann. Die Vorrichtung besitzt ein Unterteil 15, in der eine Matrize 16 angeordnet ist. Die Matrize 16 besitzt eine Aussparung 17, in die ein Feinblechstreifen 18 eingeschoben ist. Der Feinblechstreifen 18 ist mittels an dem Unterteil 15 angebrachter Führungen 19 in der Aussparung 17 gehalten. In der Matrize 16 sind schlitzförmige Aussparungen 20 vorgesehen, die als Negativformen für die zu bildenden Laschen 13, 14 dienen.In Fig. 3 a device is shown schematically, by means of who carried out the massive forming to form the tabs can be. The device has a lower part 15, in which a die 16 is arranged. The die 16 has a recess 17 into which a sheet metal strip 18 is inserted is. The thin sheet strip 18 is by means of the lower part 15 attached guides 19 held in the recess 17. There are slot-shaped recesses 20 in the die 16 provided that as negative forms for the tabs to be formed 13, 14 serve.

In einem dem Unterteil 15 unter Aufbringung einer Preßkraft zustellbaren Oberteil 21, ist ein Stempel 22 gehalten, der zwischen den Führungen 19 dem Feinblechstreifen 18 zustellbar ist, wobei er den Bereich der Aussparungen 20 flächig überdeckt. Der Stempel 22 besitzt hierzu eine ebene, zu dem Feinblech 18 parallele Stempelfläche 23, die den Bereich der Aussparungen 20 der Matrize 16 in ausreichender Größe flächig überdeckt. Der Stempel 22 wird mit seiner Stempelfläche 23 mit ausreichender Kraft in den Feinblechstreifen 18 eingedrückt, so daß die Fließgrenze des Blechmaterials überschritten wird. Ein Teil des Blechmaterials fließt dann in die Aussparungen 20 und bildet dabei die Laschen 13, 14, die in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt sind. Dabei wird das Feinblech in dem Bereich der Stempelfläche 23 auf etwa 70% bis etwa 50% der ursprünglichen Blechstärke zusammengedrückt. Die Eindrücktiefe hängt von der Höhe der zu bildenden Laschen ab. Zweckmäßigerweise wird die Eindringtiefe der Stempelfläche 23 des Stempels 22 durch einen Tiefenanschlag begrenzt. Die Aussparungen 20 können offene Schlitze sein oder eine Tiefe aufweisen, die größer als die gewünschte Höhe der Laschen ist. Die Höhe der Laschen bestimmt sich durch die Eindrücktiefe, mit der die Stempelfläche 23 in das Feinblech 18 eingedrückt wird. Zu erwähnen ist noch, daß bei dem Fließpressen die für Fließpressen üblichen Schmiermittel eingesetzt werden, um die Stanzzeit des Werkzeugs zu verbessern.In a lower part 15 with the application of a pressing force deliverable upper part 21, a stamp 22 is held, the between the guides 19 the sheet metal strip 18 can be delivered is, it covers the area of the recesses 20 area. The stamp 22 has a flat, to the thin sheet 18 parallel stamp surface 23, the area of the recesses 20 of the die 16 in a sufficiently large area covered. The stamp 22 is with its stamp surface 23 pressed into sheet metal strip 18 with sufficient force, so that the flow limit of the sheet material is exceeded becomes. Part of the sheet material then flows into the cutouts 20 and forms the tabs 13, 14, which are shown in Fig. 1 and 2 are shown. The thin sheet is in the area the stamp area 23 to about 70% to about 50% of the original Sheet thickness compressed. The depth of impression depends on the height of the tabs to be formed. Conveniently is the depth of penetration of the stamp surface 23 of the stamp 22 limited by a depth stop. The cutouts 20 may be open slots or have a depth that is greater than the desired height of the tabs. The high of Laschen is determined by the depth at which the Stamp surface 23 is pressed into the thin sheet 18. To mention is that with extrusion, that for extrusion usual lubricants are used to control the punching time to improve the tool.

Das Fließpressen kann in kaltem Zustand durchgeführt werden. Wenn das Fließpressen in halbwarmem Zustand, beispielsweise bis 600°C oder im warmen Zustand, beispielsweise bis 1200°C, durchgeführt wird, so erhöht sich die Fließfähigkeit des Blechmaterials, so daß kleinere Umformkräfte erforderlich sind. Als Werkstoff für den Feinblechstreifen hat sich beispielsweise ein Stahl mit der Nr. 1.4539 als anwendbar erwiesen.Extrusion can be carried out when cold. If the extrusion is in a semi-warm state, for example up to 600 ° C or in the warm state, for example up to 1200 ° C, is carried out, the flowability of the Sheet material, so that smaller forming forces are required are. As a material for the thin sheet metal strip, for example a steel with the number 1.4539 proved to be applicable.

Mit der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Vorrichtung lassen sich an den Blechstreifen 18 die Paare von Laschen 13, 14 taktweise formen, indem das Feinblech 18 taktweise vorgeschoben und der Fließpreßvorgang durch Zustellen des Stempels 22 ebenfalls taktweise ausgeführt wird. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, ein ähnliches Fließpressen mittels Walzen des Feinblechstreifens durchzuführen. Dabei kann auch vorgesehen werden, daß ein Mittelstreifen, in welchem die Laschen 13, 14 durch Massivumformen gebildet werden, ständig fließgepreßt und damit zusammengedrückt wird, während dennoch die Laschen nur in regelmäßigen Abständen gebildet werden.With the device shown in Fig. 3 can be the pairs of tabs 13, 14 in cycles shape by pushing the thin sheet 18 forward and the Extrusion process by delivering the stamp 22 also is carried out in cycles. However, it is also possible to use a similar extrusion by rolling the sheet metal strip perform. It can also be provided that a Median strip, in which the tabs 13, 14 by massive forming are formed, continuously extruded and thus compressed will while the tabs only come in regular Intervals are formed.

Bei einer abgewandelten Ausführungsform wird eine Matrize 16 mit einer ebenen Auflagefläche vorgesehen, während den Aussparungen 20 entsprechende Aussparungen in dem Stempel 22 im Bereich der Stempelfläche 23 vorgesehen sind. Das Anbringen der Aussparungen 20 in der Matrize 16 hat jedoch den Vorteil, daß die gasführende Seite eines aus den Blechstreifen 18 gebildeten Rohres bis auf die Laschen 13, 14 glatte Innenwandungen aufweist, so daß eine Ablagerung von festen Partikeln o.dgl. vermieden wird.In a modified embodiment, a die 16 provided with a flat support surface during the recesses 20 corresponding recesses in the stamp 22 in Area of the stamp surface 23 are provided. The attachment the recesses 20 in the die 16, however, has the advantage that the gas-carrying side of one formed from the sheet metal strips 18 Tube except for the tabs 13, 14 smooth inner walls has, so that a deposit of solid particles or the like is avoided.
