Definitions

  • US-A-5 046 228 discloses an apparatus for joining sheets by clinching suitable for joining aluminum sheets.
  • the corresponding punch rivet matrices or matrices and punches for the clinching develop further that significantly lower forces in the Processing is necessary, and the problem of emergence of alloys to the matrices, so a kind of cold welding or "eating", be prevented.
  • this object is achieved in that the die at least partially coated with a carbon layer. Surprisingly performs such a coating that um about 20% lower forces for making the same Connection are required.
  • the problem with the alloying of aluminum sheets safely fixed. additionally The wear of the dies is considerably lower, and even if wear occurs, this usually leads only to wear the coating so that the die continue to be used after a suitable post-coating can, and not be replaced by a new die got to.
  • stamp In devices for clinching, which in addition to the die have a stamp, it is particularly preferred although the stamp at least partially with a corresponding carbon layer is coated.
  • the matrix often has an anvil on it laterally movable jaws, where it is particularly preferred is that both the anvil and the jaws at least partially coated with a carbon layer.
  • a particularly suitable coating is a carbon coating in the form of a diamond like carbon (DLC) coating proved.
  • DLC diamond like carbon
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a die for the punch riveting.
  • the corresponding Die 10 has an annular, smooth outer Surface 12, which to be joined by a punch rivet Sheet metal parts facing. In the middle of this circular Surface 12 is except a die 14, in which the Joining point is formed in the punch riveting process.
  • Fig. 1 As indicated in Fig. 1 by the dotted lines, are the surface 12 and the die 14 according to the invention specifically coated with carbon. It's about a so-called “diamond like carbon” (DCL) coating. This method creates a extremely thin crystalline carbon deposit on the treated Object. As shown in Fig. 1, the appropriate coating around the corner on one Partial surface of the lateral surface of the die 10 extend. critical is, however, that those surfaces coated are that come into contact with the sheet to be processed.
  • DCL diamond like carbon
  • Fig. 2 shows a die 20 for clinching. This consists of a substantially cylindrical anvil 22, the Also shown in Fig. 3 alone, with rounded leading edges. To the anvil four jaws 21 are arranged and on Anvil 22 stored so that they produce a joining point with the methods of clinching elastic and can dodge resilient to the side.
  • the upper (front) end face of the anvil 22 with the carbon coating DLC described above coated can also be applied to one Part of the lateral surface of the anvil 22 extend.
  • coated areas are shown in FIG. 3 with a dot-dash line designated overflowing line.
  • Fig. 4 shows the also inventively coated jaws 21 of the die 20.
  • the O- (Front) side of the jaws 21 DLC-coated. It But we recommend the jaws 21, which are always special are exposed to high loads during insertion, completely in the manner described above with carbon too Coating, as shown in Fig. 4 by the dot-dash line Line is indicated.
  • Fig. 5 shows a punch 30, which is used to produce a joining point can interact with the die 20.
  • This includes in particular a cylindrical projection 32 whose diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the opening, the is formed by the jaws 21.
  • this cylindrical part 32 of the punch 30 in the above-described Way with carbon DLC-coated.
  • the coating should be at least on the face the cylindrical part 32 and a part of the adjoining Extend lateral surface.
  • this coating can also be retrofitted already existing dies and stamps are applied.
  • the coating according to the invention can be worn be replaced so that instead of a replacement of the respective Tools a new story is enough.
  • DLC Diamond like Carbon
  • the disadvantage of the DLC coating is that the Layer has wear over time and thus the adhesion of aluminum arises again. Remedy can be here cyclic change of the matrices e.g. as determined in the experiment, every three days. There is a possibility then de-layer and re-coat these matrices. Here a logistical procedure must be created, which the Number of circulating matrices realized cost-effectively. It is estimated that the life of a recoated Matrix about 60% of a new coated Die corresponds. However, this has to be proven in practice.
