Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flanging device with the features in the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such flanging devices are known from practice in various embodiments. They have a crimping head which has one or more crimping steels divided into segments and provided with a crimping edge running around in the operating position. The flanging device also has a stroke drive for generating the flanging stroke and an adjusting device for moving the segments in and out. Such flanging devices are especially for workpieces with an internal opening, e.g. Vehicle doors with a window cutout, thought. In withdrawn
  • the crimping head When the segments are at rest, the crimping head can open and close in the workpiece opening. In the extended operating position, the segments flatten the sheet edges.
  • the previously known flanging devices have a two-stage or multi-stage actuator that moves the segments in two or more groups one after the other. This requires several drives and means increased control and construction costs. This technique also costs cycle time.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features in the main claim.
  • all segments can be moved simultaneously and only need one drive.
  • the flanging device according to the invention is therefore less expensive, more economical and faster.
  • the contact surfaces of the segments are adapted to the kinematics. To avoid accidents, wedge angles between 20 ° to 50 °, preferably 35 ° to 40 ° are recommended.
  • the preferred embodiment of the actuator as a crank mechanism offers a stable and high-precision construction.
  • the cranks are stretched and securely support the segments against the flaring forces.
  • the cranks can rotate independently of one another and without mutual interference, and they can carry out different long feed strokes.
  • the segments can be moved at different speeds and avoid each other. This is particularly advantageous if the flanged edge goes around the corner and the feed axes of the segments are aligned at an angle to each other.
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of individual segments
  • the flanging device (1) in an uncut side view and in a longitudinal section from the same direction.
  • the flanging device (1) is used to machine a workpiece (2), which is, for example, a vehicle door with a window cutout (3).
  • the flanging device (1) is located in the workpiece opening (3) or in the window cutout and serves for flanging the sheet metal inner edges (34) running around the corner.
  • the workpiece (2) rests on a suitable one
  • Workpiece holder (4) and is fixed on it.
  • the workpiece holder (4) surrounds the flanging device (1).
  • the flanging device (1) has a lifting drive and guide unit (7) with a flanging head (6) that can be moved with it and a frame (5).
  • the crimping head (6) leads by means of the lifting drive (7) in the shown Embodiment vertical lifting or flanging movements.
  • the flare stroke can also run horizontally or obliquely if the device is designed accordingly.
  • the crimping head (6) has one or more crimping steels
  • the crimping steels (8,9) are arranged one above the other, the upper crimping steel (8) being used for pre-crimping and the lower crimping steel (9) being used for finish-crimping.
  • the flare steels (8, 9) each consist of several segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) which are arranged to be movable transversely to the stroke direction and can be extended and retracted using an adjusting device (22).
  • the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) abut one another and form the circumferential, uninterrupted flanged edge (11) with their outer surfaces.
  • the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are retracted to different degrees and have a reduced outer circumference.
  • the flanging head (6) can move up and down through the workpiece opening (3) and also allows a workpiece change.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the retracted position
  • Fig. 2 shows the operating position in a side view.
  • the peripheral flanged edge (11) is angled or bent in accordance with the window shape. This results in at least one, preferably several corners or bends. Accordingly, the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are distributed all around and are available in a corresponding number. 3 and 4 there are five segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16). 6 and 7 there are three segments (12, 13, 14). The segments can in turn be at least partially angled and go over corners with their flanged edge sections.
  • the flanged edges (11) essentially consist of a vertical or oblique guide surface for angling the upstanding sheet metal edges or sheet metal inner edges (34).
  • the guide surfaces run out into a projecting flare nose (10) for both flare steels (8, 9).
  • the inclination of the surfaces and the rounding of the transition into the flanging nose (10) are of different sizes in order to first incline the sheet metal edges during pre-flanging and then to fold them over during the finished flanging.
  • the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are driven together by the actuating device (22) and moved simultaneously. They carry out delivery strokes of different lengths at different speeds. As can be seen from FIGS. 3 to 7, the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) also have heads of different widths.
  • the segments with the wider heads are preferably in the corner areas and those with the narrower heads in between.
  • the segments with the narrower heads preferably move faster and with longer strokes than the segments with the wider heads.
  • the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) have oblique contact surfaces (17) on the heads, with which they touch one another in the extended operating position. In the retracted rest position there is a distance between the contact surfaces (17).
  • the contact surfaces (17) are adapted to the kinematics required by the simultaneous segment movement and allow the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) to be released from one another without collision and their trouble-free retraction and feed movement.
  • the contact surfaces (17) each have a point Wedge angle ⁇ to the adjacent flanged edge (11), which is between 20 ° and 50 °, preferably 30 ° and 45 °.
  • the contact surfaces (17) are alternately inclined to the right and left.
  • the segments (12, 14, 16) with the narrower heads preferably have one or two contact surfaces (17) placed at an angle to the outside. This results in a
  • Complementary angle ß of 180 ° - ⁇ .
  • the adjusting device (22) can be designed differently. In the preferred embodiment, it is designed as a crank mechanism (23). In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 to 6, the crank mechanism (23) has a crankshaft (24). In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 7, a second parallel crankshaft (25) is provided as an auxiliary shaft, which is connected to the main shaft (24) directly via a coupling rod (35) or indirectly via the drive and rotates with it.
  • the crankshafts (24, 25) extend along the stroke direction of the crimping head (6).
  • the crankshaft (24) has a rotary drive (26) which e.g. can be designed as a hydraulic drive. In a modified embodiment, two coupled drives can be present in the double crankshaft arrangement.
  • crank assemblies are from booms (32) to the
  • crankshafts 24,25
  • crank rods 27,28,29,30,31
  • Crank arrangement schematic. 5 is a single one
  • cranks are of different lengths.
  • the pivot points on the arms (32) have different distances from the crankshaft (24, 25) and the crank rods (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) have different lengths.
  • This crank geometry is used to generate different lengths and fast feed strokes of the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16).
  • cranks with their arms (32) are arranged at different heights on the crankshaft (24, 25). As a result, they move on top of each other in different positions without disturbing each other.
  • the crank rods (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) and boom (32) are correspondingly flat.
  • the segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) have supports (18, 20) with which they are guided exactly.
  • the carriers (18) are designed as slides which are moved along a straight guide (19).
  • the carriers (20) in FIGS. 6 and 7 are designed as swivel plates which rotate about a swivel bearing (21) aligned along the crankshaft (24, 25). 6 and 7, the operating positions of the segments (12, 13, 14) are shown with solid lines and the retracted positions with dashed lines.
  • the carriers (18, 20) are shaped in such a way that they fit into one another fairly precisely in the retracted position and, on the other hand, with obstacles inside the flanging head (6), e.g. continuous tie rods or the like, do not collide.
  • crank mechanism (23) is designed in the various exemplary embodiments such that the cranks, ie the crank rods (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) and extension arm (32), assume an extended position in the extended operating position. In this position, they optimally support the flaring forces acting along the feed axes (33). The transverse or oblique forces are supported via the guides (19) or swivel bearings (21).
  • the flanging head (6) and its segments (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) it is advantageous to first define a segment according to the direction and size of the delivery stroke.
