Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing ring-shaped corrugated metal pipes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • From CH-A-275 509 is a device for the production of corrugated pipes with a um the workpiece rotating pressure roller known, in which the corrugation by teeth the pressure roller (gear) is molded, and the pressure roller by one Longitudinal axis of the tube is rotatably supported and its axis of rotation during the generation of the corrugation even in a perpendicular to the pipe longitudinal axis Plane revolves around the pipe fed to the pressure roller, which in turn passes through its Feed rotates the pressure roller.
  • three pressure rollers are preferred, which attack the pipe offset by 120 °.
  • the tooth tips on the outer circumference the teeth of the pressure rollers are concavely adapted to the tube diameter formed so that the pressure rollers a self-contained deformation tool form.
  • a device for producing ring-shaped corrugated is Metal pipes are known in which at least one pressure roller rotating around a smooth pipe is provided.
  • the pressure roller has a variety of teeth, which the waves form into the smooth tube.
  • the pressure roller is around one to the pipe length axis right-angled axis rotatable. Its axis of rotation runs around the smooth tube during the generation of the waves in a plane perpendicular to the pipe length axis.
  • the driven smooth tube ensures a rotation of the Pressure roller around the axis of rotation of the pressure roller.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce metal tubes with an annular corrugation, the ratio of corrugation depth W t to corrugation pitch W s being greater than 0.3.
  • the wave depth W t is to be understood as the radial distance between a wave crest and the wave trough.
  • the wave pitch W s is the distance between two wave crests. The extremely deep corrugation should be generated without further measures, ie during the corrugation process.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 Exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a system for producing a coaxial High-frequency cable shown with a ring-shaped corrugated outer conductor.
  • the inner conductor 2 which is insulated with a foam layer, is removed from a supply coil 1 deducted continuously.
  • a metal band M preferably a copper band, is made of withdrawn from a reel 3 and cleaned in a cleaning system 4.
  • the Metal strip M is then in a forming device 5, which does not consist of several designated form steps exists to a surrounding the insulated inner conductor 2 Slotted tube shaped.
  • the longitudinal slot is welded in a welding device 6.
  • the inside diameter of the welded pipe is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the insulated inner conductor 2 so that the insulating layer is not caused by the welding heat is affected.
  • a collet trigger 7 By means of a collet trigger 7, the welded pipe as well the insulated inner conductor 2 is transported through the system in the direction of the arrows.
  • the Collet trigger 7 has a plurality of pairs of jaws 7a, which is the welded Grip the pipe in a pincer shape.
  • the jaw pairs 7a are on an endless chain 7b attached,
  • the corrugated device 8 is seen behind the collet trigger 7 in the direction of flow arranged in which a corrugated metal tube is produced from the smooth metal tube, whose troughs sit closely on the insulating layer and press it in a little. On in this way a coaxial radio frequency cable is obtained in which the gap between the insulating layer and the outer conductor is sealed.
  • the insulated inner conductor 2 provided with the corrugated metal tube is finally opened a cable drum 9 wound up.
  • a dancer arrangement 10 regulates the Pulling speed of the cable drum 9.
  • a corrugated outer conductor can be used in a manner not shown Plastic outer jacket are extruded.
  • the corrugated device 8 is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.
  • a shaft bushing 12 is fastened to a rotatable shaft head 11.
  • the inner one Diameter of the guide bush 12 is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the welded smooth tube G.
  • the guide bush 12 has a recess 12a, in which engages the pressure roller 13 functioning as a corrugated tool.
  • the pressure roller 13 is in a bearing block 14 is freely rotatable.
  • the bearing block 14 is by means of a Adjustment spindle 15, which is guided in a threaded bush 16, in the radial direction adjustable.
  • the threaded bushing 16 is fixedly connected to the shaft head 11 Head plate 17 rotatably mounted. With a counterweight is designated, which for ensures a smooth run of the corrugated device 8.
  • the depth of the corrugation to be introduced into the smooth tube G is determined by the Threaded spindle 15 set.
  • the Pressure roller 13 When the shaft head 11 is driven in rotation, the Pressure roller 13 the smooth tube G and forms the corrugation. Since the smooth tube G a feed is given by the collet trigger 7, the pressure roller 13 is so driven that it rotates about its axis of rotation. This causes the last curl to appear generating tooth of the pressure roller 13 from the trough and the subsequent tooth penetrates into the advanced smooth tube G. In this way, with the order Pipe longitudinal axis rotating and driven about its own axis of rotation pressure roller 13 continuously produces a tube with an annular corrugation.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 is a corrugated device with two opposite one another Pressure rollers 13 shown. In this way, at the same speed of circulation Wellerkopfes 11 can be achieved twice the production speed.
  • FIG. 6 is intended to illustrate the principle of the new corrugation process.
  • the pressure roller 13 is with respect to its axis of rotation so approached the central axis of the smooth tube that the Immerse teeth Z in the wall of smooth tube G and when rotating the Create pressure roller 13 around the central axis of the smooth tube G an annular corrugation.
  • the pressure roller is turned in the direction of the arrow, so that after the completion of a wave valley, the next tooth Z into the smooth tube wall dips.
  • the number of teeth Z is limited to 7-11, because only this A ratio of corrugation depth to corrugation slope of more than 0.3 can be achieved.
  • tip diameter of the pressure roller between at 2.3 up to 3.5 times the shaft pitch or the shaft distance. Too small Tip circle diameter leads to a mechanically unstable pressure roller 13, whereas a too large tip circle diameter does not allow the generation of a deep corrugation. Under the diameter of the teeth Z enveloping the tip circle diameter be understood
  • the heads of the teeth Z are flat, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the width of the teeth Z is more than the diameter of the corrugated tube in the Area of the wave valley. This creates a particularly smooth surface in the area of Tidal wave reached.
  • the fact that the teeth Z are hardened and polished, especially in the area of the tooth head. This allows the Reduce abrasion on both teeth Z and pipe.
  • the flanks of the teeth Z run parallel to one another. This ensures that the Teeth Z do not touch the wave flanks when leaving the trough and thus leave no unwanted impressions.
  • the height of the teeth is greater than the corrugation depth. This is particularly evident from FIG. 7. There the ratio of tooth height Z t to corrugation depth W t is greater than 1.2.
