Definitions

  • the invention first relates to a method for Production of large-volume hollow bodies at least partly through hydrostatic forming of cold formable Metal within a mold cavity Die.
  • Such a method is, for example, from known from DE 44 36 436 of the applicant.
  • two become flat sheets of cold-formable metal using the Hydroforming process two matching halves a large-volume hollow body created in Area of their "equator line" all the way to a hollow body be welded.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to a new process for the production of large-volume To create hollow bodies, which with less material as well as low costs, higher process reliability having.
  • the method according to the invention has numerous advantages.
  • the main advantage is that one against the background of the final shape of one to be created large-volume hollow body first a sheet metal blank can create after the forming of the Cutting sheet metal into a three-dimensional, pressure-tight one Body with at least one opening circumferentially and materially adapted to the final shape of the hollow body becomes.
  • Provide body with a large cross section is in the areas in which the final shape of the hollow body has a smaller cross section, the body also has a small cross-section is.
  • conical, cylindrical and sectionally conical or cylindrical Basic bodies are created, which are later hydrostatic be expanded.
  • the invention further relates to a method for the production of large-volume hollow bodies according to Claim 2.
  • this method according to the invention has the basic advantages cited to claim 1 on, in addition through the tubular Body more variation options with regard to Final shape of the hollow body exist.
  • This method according to the invention avoids elaborate sealing through internal adaptation or External adaptation of two openings in that already an opening of the tubular body in front of the hydrostatic expansion is closed. This You can use a less technically elaborate die and is therefore cheaper.
  • the body will die before the hydrostatic Widening pressed into a flat oval shape. This has the advantage that tubular bodies that actually are too large for the die's engraving cavity moving the die halves into the die fit in. Otherwise it would be disadvantageous Way necessary before inserting the body into the die the body in a separate device to bring the flat oval shape.
  • Procedures will follow the expansion and before welding the closure piece inside the Hollow body installation parts arranged. This is with these Procedure due to the still existing opening possible in a simple manner, on the one hand none Precautions must be taken to include one of foreign bodies falling into the hollow body to avoid.
  • Procedure already pre-assembled from the side Assemblies in the largely closed Body are retracted. This increases process reliability noticeably.
  • a circumferential area of the intended opening Collar formed during hydrostatic expansion is used as a welded socket.
  • Procedure is in the hollow body before its hydrostatic Widening a liquid displacing element introduced, which creates the procedural advantage that the filling and emptying times are significantly lower.
  • a liquid displacing Element can be on the adapter, for example be attached.
  • the invention also relates to a large volume Hollow body, in particular motor vehicle tank and Like. Made by using the aforementioned Method.
  • a very special one on the space available in the motor vehicle body can have a coordinated shape, so that the available space is used optimally becomes.
  • Such a hollow body 10 is made from a cold-formable one Sheet metal blank 11 (see FIG. 1) produced, which in a first process step by means of a Roll up or other process into a tubular Body 12 (see FIG. 2) with two openings A1 and A2 is reshaped.
  • the connection of the opposite Sheet metal end faces are made using a Butt weld preferably with the help of a tungsten inert gas welding source, using other welding methods, such as. laser welding can be used (See weld S1 in Fig. 2).
  • the sheet metal blank 11 is based on the desired Final shape of the hollow body 10 determined so that conical, cylindrical and / or sectionally conical or cylindrical bodies 12 arise after the curling process, it is important that at both ends of the Tubular body 12 cylindrical cross sections available are.
  • the shape of the sheet metal blank 11 or itself resulting tube body 12 is tuned to the different sizes of the final shape of the hollow body 10 in certain areas.
  • the goal is in everyone Area of the tubular body 12 with an expansion step and the maximum possible shaping of the material the final contour to reach the hollow body 10.
  • the expansion of the tubular body 12 in one process step is important because it does not work hardening can arise and thus a complex intermediate annealing is avoided.
  • tubular Body 12 by means of a weld S2 Cap 13 is welded.
  • the cap 13 may vary their geometry also through a hydroforming process or be produced by deep drawing. Different to 3 and 4 is preferred in the tubular body 12 through the larger opening closed a cap because of the smaller diameter the other opening for adaptation and sealing requires lower side locking forces.
  • the one shown in Fig. 4, one-sided by the Cap 13 sealed tube body 12 is then - how 5 - inserted into a die 14, which to a die upper part 15 and a lower die part 16 exists.
  • the die 14 shows an engraving 17 of the Upper die part 15 and an engraving 18 of the lower die part 16 with which the final shape of the hollow body 10 is created shall be.
  • FIG. 6 is the die with an inserted hollow body 10 after the so-called pressing of the tubular Body 12 shown in a flat oval state.
  • the sealing surfaces 19 of FIG. 1 can be seen on the one hand Die upper part 15 and lower die part 16, the sealing lie on one another.
  • the one displacer component 21 has. With the help of the displacer component 21 the amount of hydraulic fluid required for the hydroforming process significantly reduced, which reduces the filling and Emptying times are greatly reduced. After Filling the tubular body 12 with the pressure fluid ultimately finds the moving together of Upper part and lower part 15, 16 instead.
  • Channels for the hydraulic fluid are available in the drawings are not shown.
  • the end contour is from the tubular Body 12 emerging hollow body 10th still recognizable within the die 14.
  • the outer peripheral surface has a pressure of up to approx. 1,000 bar of the tubular body 12 completely the engravings 17 and 18 of the upper die part 15 and lower die part 16 created.
  • the removal the adapter 20, the removal of the hollow body 10 from die 14 as well as cleaning and drying of the hollow body 10 can in a further step in the present case through the opening A2
  • Internals for a motor vehicle tank, namely for example a pump 22 and breakwater 23, can be installed (see Fig. 9). It is also possible - as not shown - that at that time or at the time shown in Fig. 8 next to the Separation of a sealing end 24 also additionally required openings, e.g. for the arrangement of a tank filler neck, be created.
  • the final hollow body is in FIG. 10 10 to recognize that the opening A2 in the meantime by a weld S3 with a further cap 25 has been locked.
  • This in the exemplary embodiment hollow body 10 provided as a motor vehicle tank naturally have a completely different shape and size than previously described and illustrated Embodiment.
  • the example described serves just the simple representation and description of the method according to the invention.
