To avoid this, according to DE 195 06 067 C1, first with a stamp in the wall Predetermined breaking point and then by the stamp on Tool released a circumferential cutting edge on the the wall under the influence of the increasing Final high pressure.

Unabhängig davon, ob das Ausschneiden des Durchbruchs von innen nach außen und/oder von außen nach innen erfolgt, ist allen Verfahren gemeinsam, daß sie eine große Schneidkraft, d. h., hohen Medien- und/oder hohen Stempeldruck erfordern. Weiterhin weisen die erzeugten Schnittkanten eine große Kantenformabweichung und eine große Grathöhe auf.Regardless of whether cutting out the opening of inside out and / or from outside in common to all processes that they have a high cutting force, d. i.e., require high media and / or high stamp pressure. Furthermore, the cut edges generated have a large Edge shape deviation and a large burr height.

Dabei kann das Anschneiden der Wandung des Werkstückes bis auf eine Restwanddicke und die Rückhubbewegung des Stempels die zur Freigabe der umlaufende Schneidkante durch den Stempel auch wechselweise im Rhythmus einer Schwingung erfolgen.It is also possible that first under a feed movement of the stamp cutting the wall of the Workpiece to a residual wall thickness and then under a return stroke movement of the stamp circumferential cutting edge is released by the punch, so that the cutout by the high pressure of the pressure medium with simultaneous vibration superimposition of the stamp movement the stamp and / or the pressure of the print medium is cut out of the wall of the workpiece. there can cut the wall of the workpiece down to a remaining wall thickness and the return stroke movement of the stamp to release the circumferential cutting edge by the punch also alternate in the rhythm of a vibration.

Die Frequenz der Schwingung von Stempel und/oder Druckmedium liegt vorzugsweise in der Größenordnung von 5 bis 50 Hz. Es ist jedoch auch möglich eine im Ultraschallbereich zu verwenden.The frequency of the vibration of the stamp and / or printing medium is preferably on the order of 5 to 50 Hz. However, it is also possible to use one in the ultrasound range to use.

Die Schwingungsamplituden und/oder die Frequenzen der Schwingungen von Stempel und Druckmedium können gleich oder unterschiedlich sein.The vibration amplitudes and / or the frequencies of the Vibrations of the stamp and the printing medium can be the same or be different.

Bei der Vorrichtung zum Lochen eines Werkstückes befindet sich auf einer Seite der Wandung des Werkstückes der Stempel und auf der anderen Seite der Wandung ein Hochdruckaum.

Die Vorrichtung weist ein Werkzeug 2 auf, zwischen dessen Werkzeugoberteil 4 und Werkzeugunterteil 6 das Werkstück 8 druckmitteldicht eingespannt ist. Im Werkzeugoberteil 4 wird ein Stempel 10 geführt, der durch einen Antrieb 12 in Richtung der Wandung des Werkstückes 8 (Vorschubbewegung) und von dieser weg (Rückhubbewegung) bewegbar ist. Das Werkzeugunterteil 6 besitzt einen Druckraum 14, der über eine Druckzuführung 16 mit einer Hochdruckquelle 18 in Verbindung steht. Der Antrieb 12 und die Hochdruckquelle 18 sind mit einer Steuereinrichtung 20 verbunden, die es ermöglicht, die Stempelbewegung und/oder den Druck des Druckmediums D im Rhythmus einer Schwingung zu steuern.The device has a tool 2, between which Upper tool part 4 and lower tool part 6 the workpiece 8 pressure-tight is clamped. In the upper part 4 a stamp 10 is guided by a drive 12 in Direction of the wall of the workpiece 8 (feed movement) and can be moved away from it (return stroke movement). The Lower tool part 6 has a pressure chamber 14 which over a pressure feed 16 with a high pressure source 18 in Connection is established. The drive 12 and the high pressure source 18 are connected to a control device 20 which it allows the stamp movement and / or the pressure of the To control print medium D in rhythm with an oscillation.

Obwohl sich diese schematische Darstellung auf den Aufbau einer Vorrichtung in der Art zum hydromechanischen Tiefziehen bezieht, trifft der Grundaufbau und das Verfahren auch auf Vorrichtungen zum Innenhochdruck-Umformen zu. Das Werkstück 8 ist dann nicht ein zwischen zwei Werkzeughälften 4 und 6 eingespanntes Blech, sondern ein zwischen zwei Werkzeughälften eingelegter und anschließend mit Innenhochdruck beaufschlagter Hohlkörper.Although this schematic is based on the structure a device in the manner of hydromechanical Deep drawing refers to the basic structure and that Process also on devices for hydroforming to. The workpiece 8 is then not between two tool halves 4 and 6 clamped sheet metal, but one inserted between two tool halves and then hollow body subjected to high internal pressure.

Entsprechend des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels (Fig. 1) erteilt die Steuereinrichtung 20 dem Stempel 10 über den Antrieb 12 einen mit einer Schwingung überlagerten konstanten Vorschub in Richtung der Wandung des Werkstückes 8. Indem der Stempel 10 je Schwingungsperiode immer ein größeres Stück in die Wand 8 eindringt, als er sich daraus zurückzieht, gelangt er schrittweise vorwärts, bis er sie entgegen einem von der Steuereinrichtung 20 über die Druckquelle 18 und den Kanal 16 aufrechterhaltenen konstanten Innenhochdruck vollständig durchdrungen hat und der Ausschnitt hergestellt ist. In Abhängigkeit vom Werkstückwerkstoff und der gewünschten Geometrie des Ausschnittes kann es vorteilhaft sein, den konstanten Hochdruck durch einen schwingend oder nichtschwingend zu- oder abnehmenden Hochdruck zu ersetzen.According to the first embodiment (Fig. 1) issued the control device 20 to the stamp 10 via the Drive 12 one superimposed with an oscillation constant feed in the direction of the wall of the workpiece 8. By using the stamp 10 for each oscillation period larger piece penetrates into the wall 8 than it out of it retracts, it progresses gradually until it contrary to one of the control device 20 via the Pressure source 18 and the channel 16 maintained has completely penetrated constant high pressure and the cutout is made. Depending on Workpiece material and the desired geometry of the It may be advantageous to cut the constant High pressure caused by a swinging or non-swinging or to replace decreasing high pressure.

Entsprechend eines weiteren Ausführungsbeispiels (Fig. 2) ist es vorgesehen, den Stempel 10 durch Umkehr des konstanten Vorschubs schwingend von der Wandung des Werkstückes 8 wegzubewegen. Dabei kann der Druck des Druckmediums D im Druckraum 14 konstant sein oder auch schwingend oder nichtschwingend, beispielsweise linear erhöht werden. Da der Stempel 10 je Schwingungsperiode immer ein größeres Stück einer am Werkzeugteil 4 umlaufenden Schneidkante 22 freigibt als er sie wieder verdeckt, trennt sich die Wandung 8 unter dem höher werdenden Druck im Druckraum 14 schrittweise an der am Werkzeug 2 umlaufenden Schneidkante 22 auf.According to a further exemplary embodiment (FIG. 2) it is provided that the stamp 10 by reversing the constant feed swinging from the wall of the To move workpiece 8. The pressure of the Pressure medium D in the pressure chamber 14 may be constant or else oscillating or non-oscillating, for example linear increase. Because the stamp 10 per period of vibration always a larger piece on the tool part 4 revolving cutting edge 22 as he releases it again covered, the wall 8 separates below the higher becoming pressure in the pressure chamber 14 gradually at the Tool 2 circumferential cutting edge 22.

Gemäß einem abschließenden Ausführungsbeispiel wird nur der Hochdruck des Druckmediums D im Rhythmus einer Schwingung gesteigert, während der Stempel 10 mit konstantem Vorschub von der Wand 8 wegbewegt wird, so daß diese an der am Werkzeug 2 umlaufenden Schneidkante 22 im Rhythmus der Hochdruckschwingung geschnitten wird.According to a final embodiment, only the High pressure of the pressure medium D in the rhythm of an oscillation increased, while the stamp 10 with constant feed is moved away from the wall 8, so that this on the Tool 2 circumferential cutting edge 22 in the rhythm of High pressure vibration is cut.

In Fig. 3 ist das Weg-Zeit-Diagramm eines die Wand 8 schwingend schneidenden Stempels 10 gezeigt. Unter dem Einfluß der Steuereinrichtung 20 ist dem durch den Antrieb 12 realisierten Vorschub eine Schwingung mit einer Frequenz von 17 Hz überlagert worden. Die Amplitude der resultierenden Vorschubschwingung weist z.B. einen positiven Anteil von 0,06 mm/s und einen negativen Anteil von 0,04 mm/s auf. Auf dieser Basis durchdringt der Stempel 10 bei geringer Schneidkraft in die Wand eines Werkstücks und hinterläßt dabei eine Lochung von hoher Qualität.3 is the path-time diagram of a wall 8 swinging cutting stamp 10 shown. Under the Influence of the control device 20 is due to the drive 12 realized an oscillation with a frequency of 17 Hz has been superimposed. The amplitude of the resulting feed vibration exhibits e.g. one positive proportion of 0.06 mm / s and a negative proportion from 0.04 mm / s. On this basis, the stamp penetrates 10 with low cutting force in the wall of a workpiece and leaves a high quality perforation.

Ein vergleichbares Ergebnis läßt sich mit einer von einem Ultraschallgeber bereitgestellten Ultraschallschwingung erzielen, deren Frequenz vorzugsweise 20 kHz beträgt.A comparable result can be achieved with one of one Ultrasonic vibration provided by ultrasonic transducers achieve, whose frequency is preferably 20 kHz.
