Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Biegevorrichtung für dünnwandige Metallrohre aus einer geraden Rohrführung, einer sich daran anschließenden und gegenüber der Rohrführung verschwenkbaren Kernschablone mit Klemmleiste, und einem Dorn, der einen Dornschaft und einen im Bereich der Kernschablone biegsamen Dornteil aufweist, der mittels eines inneren Spannseilsmit dem Dornschaft federelastisch verspannt ist.The invention relates to a bending device for thin-walled metal pipes from a straight pipe guide, one adjoining and opposite the Pipe guide with swiveling core template Terminal block, and a mandrel that has a mandrel shaft and a mandrel part that is flexible in the area of the core template which, by means of an inner tension cable with the Mandrel shaft is spring-loaded.
Biegevorrichtungen dieser und ähnlicher Art sind bekannt (Zeitschrift "Werkstatt und Betrieb 104 (1971) 4, Seiten 271 bis 274", "Verhinderung von Faltenbildung und Einknicken dünnwandiger Rohre beim Biegen" von Prof. Dr.-Ing. G. Öhler, Bad Dürkheim). Unter "dünnwandig" versteht man in diesem Zusammenhang Rohre, deren Wandstärke bezogen auf den Durchmesser und den Biegeradius klein ist, z. B. Rohre mit einer Wandstärke von ca. 0,8 mm bei einem Durchmesser von ca. 80 mm und einem Biegeradius von ca. 120 mm. Um die beim Biegen solcher Rohre mit kleinem Biegeradius auftretenden Probleme der Faltenbildung und der Abweichung vom Kreisprofil möglichst klein zu halten, hat man das Rohr an seiner Innenwand im Biegebereich von innen auf verschiedenene Art und Weise abgestützt. So gibt es abstützende Dorne in Form von Schraubenfedern mit eng aneinanderliegenden Windungen oder Gliederdorne aus kugeligen Gelenkgliedern. Beide Arten von Dornen haben den Nachteil, daß sie das zu biegende Rohr nicht vollflächig abstützen. Bei Gliederdornen aus kugeligen Gelenkgliedern sind von Anfang an sowohl am Innenbogen als auch am Außenbogen Lücken vorhanden. Bei einer Schraubenfeder, die außen überschliffen sein kann, ergeben sich am Außenbogen mit zunehmender Biegung größer werdende Lücken.Bending devices of this and similar types are known (Journal "Werkstatt und Betrieb 104 (1971) 4, pages 271 to 274 "," Prevention of Wrinkles and Bending of thin-walled tubes when bending "by Prof. Dr.-Ing. G. Öhler, Bad Dürkheim). Under "thin-walled" means in this context pipes, their wall thickness based on the diameter and the bending radius small is, e.g. B. pipes with a wall thickness of about 0.8 mm a diameter of approx. 80 mm and a bending radius of approx. 120 mm. To the when bending such pipes with small Problems of wrinkling and bending occurring to keep the deviation from the circular profile as small as possible, you have the tube on its inner wall in the bending area of supported on the inside in various ways. So there are supporting mandrels in the form of coil springs closely adjacent turns or arbor spines spherical joint members. Have both types of thorns the disadvantage that they are not the pipe to be bent fully support. In the case of arbors made of spherical Articulated links are on the inner arch from the start as well as gaps on the outer arch. At a Coil spring, which can be ground on the outside, arise on the outer arch larger with increasing bend becoming gaps.
Ein weiteres Problem bei den bekannten Biegevorrichtungen besteht in der Einspannung des Rohranfanges. Die Abstützung auf einem starren zylindrischen Dornkopf ist problematisch, weil sich ein solcher Dornkopf, der für eine feste Einspannung des Rohres eine verhältnismäßig große Einspannlänge benötigt, nicht durch das gebogene Rohr zurückziehen läßt.Another problem with the known bending devices consists of clamping the start of the pipe. The It is supported on a rigid cylindrical mandrel head problematic because there is such a mandrel head for a firm clamping of the pipe is a relative large clamping length required, not due to the curved Tube can be withdrawn.
Ferner ist eine Biegevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bekannt (DE 197 07 228 A1), die allerdings nicht für dünnwandige Rohre im vorbeschriebenen Sinn, sondern für Rohre mit sehr kleinen Durchmessern bestimmt ist. Bei dieser Biegevorrichtung besteht der biegsame Dornteil aus mehreren kugeligen Gelenkgliedern, die gemeinsam mit dem Dornschaft mittels des inneren Spannseils federelastisch verspannt sind. Bei dieser Biegevorrichtung wird das zu biegende Rohr in dem nicht zu biegenden, vor dem biegsamen Dornteil liegenden Abschnitt nur von außen zwischen der Kernschablone und der Klemmleiste eingespannt. Beim Biegevorgang wird der Dorn nicht mitgenommen, sondern ist axial fixiert. Würde man versuchen, mit einer solchen Biegevorrichtung dünnwandige Rohre zu biegen, dann würde das Rohr infolge der notwendigen großen radialen Einspannkräfte radial eingedrückt werden.Furthermore, a bending device of the type mentioned Art known (DE 197 07 228 A1), but not for thin-walled pipes in the sense described above, but for Pipes with very small diameters is determined. at This bending device consists of the flexible mandrel part several spherical joint members, which together with the Mandrel shaft resilient by means of the inner tension rope are tense. With this bending device that becomes bending pipe in the not to be bent before the flexible section of the mandrel lying only from the outside between the core template and the terminal block clamped. During the bending process, the mandrel is not taken, but is axially fixed. You would try thin-walled with such a bending device To bend pipes, then the pipe would be due to the necessary large radial clamping forces radially be pushed in.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Biegevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die mit einer kurzen Einspannlänge des Rohranfanges auskommt und die die Herstellung einer Krümmung mit über die gesamte Länge kreisförmigem Querschnitt erlaubt.The invention has for its object a To create a bending device of the type mentioned at the outset, the one with a short clamping length of the pipe start gets along and the making a curvature with over the entire length allows circular cross-section.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Biegevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Dorn als biegsamen Dornteil eine Schraubenfeder aufweist, die axial zwischen einem kugeligen Spannkopf und dem Dornschaft angeordnet ist, wobei das zu biegende Rohr zwischen dem Spannkopf und der Kernschablone mit ihrer Klemmleiste kraftschlüssig einklemmbar ist.This task is done with a bending device type mentioned solved in that the mandrel as flexible mandrel part has a coil spring that axially between a spherical clamping head and the Mandrel shaft is arranged, the tube to be bent between the clamping head and the core template with their Terminal block can be clamped in a force-locking manner.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Biegevorrichtung ermöglicht der Spannkopf eine feste Einspannung des Rohranfanges auf verhältnismäßig kurzer Länge, weil sich wegen der kugeligen Form des Spannkopfes eine hohe Klemmkraft problemlos aufbringen läßt. Da im Bereich des Rohranfanges eine Biegung nicht erfolgt, spielt hier das Problem der Einschnürung, wie es beim Stand der Technik mit im Biegebereich eingesetzten, kugeligen Gelenkgliedern, auftritt, keine Rolle. Die kugelige Form des Spannkopfes erlaubt es allerdings, daß der Spannkopf über das gekrümmte Rohr ohne Klemmung zurückgezogen werden und dabei eine Glättungswirkung und Nachprofilierung insbesondere am Außenbogen des gekrümmten Bereichs ausüben kann, wo wegen der sich beim Biegevorgang leicht öffnenden Schraubenfeder die Entstehung kleiner Einschnürungen zwischen den geöffneten Windungen naturgemäß nicht vollständig verhindert werden kann. Insgesamt läßt sich also mit der erfindungsgemäßen Biegevorrichtung bei kurzer Einspannlänge des Rohranfanges ein dünnwandiges Rohr biegen, ohne daß im Endprodukt vom kreisförmigen Querschnitt abweichende Querschnitte vorhanden sind.In the bending device according to the invention, the Clamping head firmly clamps the beginning of the pipe relatively short length because of the spherical shape of the clamping head has a high clamping force can be easily applied. Because in the area of If there is no bend at the beginning of the pipe, this plays here Constriction problem as in the prior art with spherical inserts used in the bending area Joint members, occurs, no role. The spherical shape the chuck, however, allows the chuck retracted over the curved tube without clamping become and thereby a smoothing effect and Post-profiling, in particular on the outer arch of the can exercise curved area, where because of the Bending process easily opening the coil spring Small constrictions develop between the open ones Naturally, turns cannot be completely prevented can. Overall, therefore, can be with the invention Bending device with a short clamping length of the Bend a thin-walled tube at the beginning of the tube without End product deviating from the circular cross section Cross sections are available.
Um sowohl am Innenbogen als auch am Außenbogen die Bildung von Falten und Einschnürungen so gering wie möglich zu halten, sollte die Schraubenfeder im ungebogenen Zustand zumindest außenseitig eine glatte zylindrische Stützfläche bilden.To ensure that both on the inner arch and on the outer arch Formation of wrinkles and constrictions as little as to keep possible, the coil spring should unbent condition at least on the outside a smooth form cylindrical support surface.
Die axiale Vorspannung der Schraubenfeder läßt sich dadurch einstellen, daß das Druckstück an einer Druckfeder abgestützt ist, die ihrerseits an einer am Spannseil widergelagerten Stellschraube abgestützt ist.The axial preload of the coil spring can be adjust that the pressure piece on a Compression spring is supported, which in turn on a Tensioning rope is supported.
Für die Ausbildung des Spannkopfes gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten. Der Spannkopf kann aus einem geschlitzten Außenring und einem inneren Stütz- und Spannkonus bestehen, der beim Biegevorgang selbstspannend auf den Außenring wirkt. Bei dieser Alternative wird die auf das Rohr beim Biegevorgang ausgeübte Ziehkraft auf den Spannring und den Spannkonus übertragen und im Sinne einer Spreizung des Außenringes und damit einer festeren Klemmwirkung ausgenutzt, während die vom Zugmittel beim Rückholen des Spannkopfes ausgeübte Kraft im Lösungssinne wirkt. Alternativ dazu kann der Spannkopf auch aus mehreren, insbesondre zwei kugeligen Gliedern bestehen, die eine starre Baueinheit bilden. Wegen der mittigen Einschnürung und der Abrundungen kommt es auch in diesem Fall zu keinen Verklemmungen im Rohrbogen beim Zurückziehen des Spannkopfes. Diese Lösung zeichnet sich bei einfachem konstruktivem Aufbau vor allem durch eine optimale Führung und besonders gute Nachprofilierungseigenschaften aus.There are several for the design of the clamping head Possibilities. The clamping head can be made from a slotted Outer ring and an inner support and clamping cone consist of the self-tensioning on the bending process Outer ring works. This alternative is based on the Pulling force exerted on the tube during the bending process Tension ring and the tension cone transferred and in the sense a spread of the outer ring and thus a firmer Clamping effect exploited, while that of the traction device when Return the clamping head exerted force in the sense of solution acts. Alternatively, the clamping head can also be made from consist of several, in particular two spherical links, which form a rigid structural unit. Because of the middle Constriction and rounding also occurs in this If there is no jamming in the elbow when Withdraw the clamping head. This solution stands out with a simple construction, especially by a optimal guidance and particularly good Post-profiling properties.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verläuft das Spannseil exzentrisch durch das Rohr am Innenbogen entlang. Auf diese Art und Weise wird sichergestellt, daß der zu biegende Abschnitt des Rohres fest gegen die Innenseite des Innenbogens der Schraubenfeder gedrückt wird.According to one embodiment of the invention, this runs Tension rope eccentrically through the tube on the inner arch along. This ensures that the section of the pipe to be bent firmly against the Inside of the inner coil of the coil spring pressed becomes.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer zwei Ausführungsbeispiele darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt die Biegevorrichtung nach dem Biegevorgang im axialen Halbschnitt.The invention is based on two Drawing illustrating embodiments explained. The drawing shows the bending device after the bending process in the axial half-cut.
Die Biegevorrichtung besteht aus einer feststehenden
geraden Rohrführung 1, einer sich daran anschließenden
verschwenkbaren Kernschablone 2 mit einer Klemmleiste 3
und einem im Bereich der Kernschablone 2 angeordneten
Dorn 4 mit sich daran anschließendem, im Bereich der
Rohrführung 1 befindlichen Dornschaft 5. Der Dorn 4
besteht aus einem biegsamen Dornteil 4a in Form einer
Schraubenfeder und einem kugeligen Spannkopf 4b aus
vorzugsweise zwei kugeligen Gliedern, die eine starre
Baueinheit bilden. Der biegsame Teil 4a des Dorns 4, sein
Spannkopf 4b und der Dornschaft 5 sind axial über ein
Spannseil 6 mit Kopfstück 6a vorgespannt. Dazu dient eine
zwischen dem als Druckstück dienenden Dornschaft 5 und
einer am Spannseil 6 angeschlagenen Spannschraube 7
angeordnete Druckfeder 8. Am Spannseil 6 greift ein
Zugelement 9 an, über das der Dorn 3 nach dem
Biegevorgang zurückgezogen werden kann.The bending device consists of a fixed one
straight pipe guide 1, an adjoining
pivotable core template 2 with a
Die Arbeitsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Biegevorrichtung ist folgende:The operation of the bending device according to the invention is the following:
Bei um 90° gegenüber der in der Zeichnung dargestellten
Stellung zurückgeschwenkter Kernschablone 2 fluchten die
Rohrführung 1 und die Kernschablone 2 miteinander. In
diesem Zustand wird ein zu biegendes Rohr R in die
Rohrführung 1 eingeschoben, bis es mit seinem Anfang im
geraden Auslaufteil der Kernschablone 2 liegt.
Anschließend wird der Dorn 4 mit seinem Dornschaft 5
eingeschoben, bis der Spannkopf 4b im Bereich des geraden
Auslaufteiles der Kernschablone 2 liegt. Dann wird das
Rohrende mittels der Klemmleiste 3 zwischen dem Spannkopf
4b, dem geraden Auslaufteil der Kernschablone 2 und der
Klemmleiste 3 eingespannt. In dieser Phase bildet die
Schraubenfeder 4a eine geschlossene zylindrische
Stützfläche. Dann wird die Kernschablone 2 verschwenkt
und dabei das Rohr R gebogen. Wie die Zeichnung zeigt,
wird während des Biegevorganges die Schraubenfeder 4a
durch das Spannseil 6 gegen den Innenbogen der
Kernschablone 2 gedrückt. Deshalb bleiben die einzelnen
Windungen des als Schraubenfeder ausgebildeten Dornteils
4a am Innenbogen lückenlos aneinander liegen. Am
Außenbogen tun sich dagegen Schlitze auf, was für die
Formgebung des Rohres R von Nachteil ist, weil das Rohr R
sich in diesem Bereich leicht einschnüren kann.At 90 ° compared to that shown in the drawing
Position swung back core template 2 align
Pipe guide 1 and the core template 2 with each other. In
In this state, a pipe R to be bent is inserted into the
Inserted pipe guide 1 until it starts in
straight outlet part of the core template 2 lies.
Then the mandrel 4 with its
Nach Abschluß der Phase des Biegevorganges wird nach
Lösen der Klemmleiste der Dorn 4 unter Beibehaltung der
Stellung der Kernschablone 2 zurückgezogen. Die Zugkraft
wird vom Zugglied 9 in das Zugseil 6 eingeleitet. Zu
einem Verklemmen im Rohrbogen kann es trotz der starren
Baueinheit der kugeligen Glieder wegen ihrer guten
axialen Führung an axial versetzten Stellen und ihrer
Form nicht kommen. Ihre Abrundungen und ihre mittige
Einschnürung geben einerseits genügend Freiraum für das
gebogene Rohr und wirken andererseits beim Zurückholen
nachprofilierend auf das Rohr R ein. Es versteht sich,
daß bei mehr als zwei kugeligen Gliedern, z. B drei
Gliedern das mittlere Glied mit seiner Kontur zumindest
am Innenbogen zurückspringen muß.After completing the phase of the bending process, after
Loosen the pin 4 of the mandrel while maintaining the
Position of the core template 2 withdrawn. The traction
is initiated by the
Nachdem die Klemmleiste 3 gelöst ist, werden der Dorn 6
mit dem Dornschaft 5 aus dem Rohr R herausgezogen und das
gebogene Rohr R der Biegevorrichtung entnommen. Nach
Zurückschwenken der Kernschablone 2 in ihre
Ausgangsstellung kann ein neues Rohr in die
Biegevorrichtung eingeschoben werden.After the
Das Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 unterscheidet sich von dem der Figur 1 nur im Spannkopf. Soweit Übereinstimmungen bestehen, sind dieselben Bezugszeichen für die Einzelteile wie bei Figur 1 verwendet. The embodiment of Figure 2 differs of that of Figure 1 only in the clamping head. So far Correspondences exist, are the same reference numerals used for the individual parts as in Figure 1.
Der Spannkopf 14 besteht aus einem geschlitzten,
kugeligen Außenring 14a und einem Stütz- und Spannkonus
14b, auf den das federbelastete Kopfstück 6a des inneren
Spannseils 6 einwirkt.
Die Arbeitsweise der Biegevorrichtung des
Ausführungsbeispieles der Figur 2 entspricht weitgehend
derjenigen des Ausführungsbeispiels der Fig. 1, so daß
nur noch auf die unterschiedliche Wirkung des Spannkopfes
eingegangen wird:The tensioning head 14 consists of a slotted, spherical outer ring 14a and a support and tensioning cone 14b, on which the spring-loaded head piece 6a of the
The operation of the bending device of the embodiment of FIG. 2 largely corresponds to that of the embodiment of FIG. 1, so that only the different effects of the clamping head are discussed:
Wird nach Einklemmen des Rohranfangs zwischen dem
Spannkopf 14 und der Klemmleiste 3 die Kernschablone 2
entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, dann wird das von
der Kernschablone 2 und der Klemmleiste 3 gehaltene Rohr
R mitgenommen und über den axial festliegenden Dorn 4
hinweggezogen. Wegen des konischen Sitzes des Spannkopfes
14 sorgen die dabei wirksamen Zugkräfte dafür, daß die
Klemmkraft verstärkt wird.After pinching the pipe start between the
Clamping head 14 and the
Nach vollendetem Biegevorgang wird die Klemmleiste 3
gelöst und der Dorn mit dem Spannkopf 14 durch das
gebogene Rohr R zurückgezogen. Dabei wird die
Klemmwirkung des Spannkopfes 14 aufgrund des konischen
Sitzes wegen der jetzt entgegengesetzt wirkenden Kräfte
aufgehoben.After the bending process has been completed, the
