Für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen sind koni- sehe Rohre erwünscht. Die Herstellung von konischen Rohrmänteln, die nachfolgend zu einem konischen Rohr ver- schweisst werden können, ist aber aufwendig.Tapered tubes are desirable for a variety of applications. However, the production of conical pipe jackets, which can subsequently be welded into a conical pipe, is complex.

Figur 1 zeigt grob schematisch die Seitenansicht einer Vorrichtung zum konischen Formen von Blechen. Dabei ist eine Matrize 1 dargestellt, welche einen inneren in Längsrichtung konischen Hohlraum 2 aufweist, der in der Figur durch die unterbrochene Linie 3 angedeutet ist, welche die unterste Mantellinie des konischen Hohlraumes 2 darstellt, der einen Teil eines Kegelstumpfes bildet. Die Figuren 2a und 2b zeigen die Matrize 1 mit ihrem konischen Hohlraum 2 im Vertikalschnitt entlang den Schnittlinien B-B und C-C von Figur 1. Der Stempel 4 ist ebenfalls in Längsrichtung konisch zulaufend als Teil 12 eines Kegelstumpfes geformt und entspricht in seiner Form in demjenigen Bereich, welcher zum Eintauchen in die Matrize 1 bestimmt ist, der Form des konischen Hohlraumes, jedoch vermindert um die Dicke des zu verformenden Bleches. In den Figuren 2a und 2b ist der Stempel 4 ebenfalls im Vertikalschnitt dargestellt, woraus die konische Form des Teils 12 des Stempels ersichtlich ist. In demjenigen Bereich, der nicht in die Matrize eintaucht, weicht der Stempel 4 von der Kegelstumpfform ab (die durch die unterbrochene Linie 9 angedeutet ist) , um die Entnahme des konisch geformten Bleches zu erleichtern. Anstelle der in den Figuren 2a und 2b gezeigten runden Quer- schnittsform von Matrize und Stempel können natürlich auch beliebig andere konisch zulaufende Querschnittsformen verwendet werden. Bei dem in der Figur 1 gezeigten Beispiel ist der Stempel 4 um eine Schwenkachse 5 schwenkbar, um eine Kurvenbewegung gemäss Pfeil A zum Eintauchen in die Matrize 1 durchzuführen. Der Antrieb des Stempels 4 kann durch eine nur grob schematisch dargestellte Kurbelanordnung 10,11 erfolgen, welche den Stempel 4 in den Matrizenhohlraum 2 hineinbewegt und dort an das Blech anpresst und den Stempel 4 entlang der mit dem Pfeil A symbolisierten Kurve wieder aus der Matrize entfernt. Entsprechende Kurbeltriebe sind dem Fachmann geläufig und brauchen hier nicht weiter dargestellt werden. Anstelle der Verwendung einer Schwenkachse 5 und eines Kurbeltriebes können auch beliebig andere Betätigungselemente, z.B. hydraulische oder pneumatische Betä- tigungselemente verwendet werden, welche den Stempel ge- mäss der gezeigten Kurve oder einer anderen Kurvenform ge äss der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bewegen und in die Matrize einführen und aus dieser herausführen.FIG. 1 shows a roughly schematic side view of a device for conically shaping sheet metal. Here, a die 1 is shown, which has an inner longitudinally conical cavity 2, which is indicated in the figure by the broken line 3, which represents the lowest surface line of the conical cavity 2, which forms part of a truncated cone. Figures 2a and 2b show the die 1 with its conical cavity 2 in vertical section along the section lines BB and CC of Figure 1. The punch 4 is also tapered in the longitudinal direction as part 12 of a truncated cone and corresponds in shape to that area, which is intended for immersion in the die 1, the shape of the conical cavity, but reduced by the thickness of the sheet to be deformed. 2a and 2b, the stamp 4 is also shown in vertical section, from which the conical shape of the part 12 of the stamp can be seen. In the area that does not dip into the die, the punch 4 deviates from the truncated cone shape (which is indicated by the broken line 9) in order to facilitate the removal of the conically shaped sheet. Instead of the round cross-sectional shape of the die and punch shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, any other conically tapering cross-sectional shapes can of course also be used. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the punch 4 can be pivoted about a pivot axis 5 in order to carry out a curve movement according to arrow A for immersion in the die 1. The punch 4 can be driven by a roughly schematically illustrated crank arrangement 10, 11 which moves the punch 4 into the die cavity 2 and presses it there against the sheet metal and removes the punch 4 from the die again along the curve symbolized by the arrow A. , Corresponding crank drives are the expert common and need not be shown here. Instead of using a swivel axis 5 and a crank drive, any other actuating elements, for example hydraulic or pneumatic actuating elements, can be used which move the punch according to the curve shown or another curve shape according to the following description and insert it into the die and lead out of this.

Der Stempel 4 ist nun derart angeordnet, dass er in der Startposition das Blech 6 im wesentlichen auf seiner ganzen Länge berührt, so dass die nachfolgende Verformung des Bleches auf der gesamtenStarting position, a sheet 6 to be deformed lying over the die cavity. The punch 4 is now arranged in such a way that in the starting position it touches the sheet 6 essentially over its entire length, so that the subsequent deformation of the sheet over the entire length
Blechlänge gleichzeitig beginnt. Figur 4 zeigt den Stempel 4, der mit seiner kurvenförmigen Bewegung in die Matrize 1 eintaucht, in einer Stellung, bei der er ungefähr zur Hälfte in die Matrize eingetaucht ist, wobei letztere in der Zeichnung durchsichtig dargestellt ist, so dass der Stempel 4 in seiner Lage in der Matrize ersichtlich ist. Figur 5 zeigt den Stempel 4 in seiner Endstellung, wobei die Kurvenbewegung vorzugsweise so erfolgt, dass der Stempel auf seiner ganzen Länge im wesentlichen gleichzeitig das Blech zum Anliegen im Grund der Matrize bringt. Auf diese Weise wird das Blech gleichmässig konisch verformt, wie es der Form von Stempel und Matrize entspricht. In der in Figur 5 gezeigten Endstellung kann auf an sich bekannte Weise ein Nachpressen des Bleches zur Verhinderung des Rückformung erfolgen.Sheet length starts at the same time. Figure 4 shows the stamp 4, which dips into the die 1 with its curved movement, in a position in which it is approximately half immersed in the die, the latter being shown transparently in the drawing, so that the stamp 4 in its The position in the die can be seen. FIG. 5 shows the punch 4 in its end position, the curve movement preferably taking place in such a way that the punch along its entire length essentially brings the sheet metal into contact with the base of the die. In this way, the sheet is deformed evenly conical, as it corresponds to the shape of the punch and die. In the end position shown in FIG. 5, the sheet can be repressed in a manner known per se to prevent re-forming.
Mittels der beschriebenen Pressung des Bleches in der konischen Form kann zunächst ein seitlicher Bereich der Blechtafel konisch geformt werden, danach in einem weiteren Schritt ein weiterer seitlicher Bereich und schlussendlich der mittlere Bereich, so dass drei Pressvorgänge zur Erzeugung des konischen Rohrmantels vorgesehen sind. Es können indes auch mehr Presshübe, z.B. 5 oder 7 Hübe, vorgenommen werden. Die beiden Rand- bereiche der Blechtafel können indes auch schon auf andere Weise vorgeformt sein, so dass nur der Mittelteil in einem Presshub gemäss der Erfindung konisch verformt wird. Wie in Figur 6 schematisch angedeutet, welche Figur einen Vertikalschnitt durch eine konische Matrize und einen konischen Stempel zeigt, kann z.B. auch direkt der Mittelteil einer Blechtafel mit Stempel und Matrize ko- nisch verformt werden, wobei zusätzlich für die Randbereiche Formungsflügel 7 und 8 vorgesehen sind, welche ebenfalls konisch sind und durch nicht dargestellte Betä- tigungselemente in Richtung der Pfeile D um den Stempel 4 schliessbar sind, um die Randbereiche des Bleches eben- falls an den Stempel anzudrücken. By means of the described pressing of the sheet in the conical shape, a lateral area of the sheet metal sheet can first be shaped conically, then in a further step a further lateral area and finally the middle area, so that three pressing processes for producing the conical tubular jacket are provided. However, more press strokes, for example 5 or 7 strokes, can also be carried out. The two edge areas of the metal sheet can, however, also be preformed in another way, so that only the middle part is conically deformed in a press stroke according to the invention. As indicated schematically in FIG. 6, which figure shows a vertical section through a conical die and a conical punch, the central part of a sheet metal sheet with punch and die, for example, can also be conically deformed, with shaping vanes 7 and 8 also being provided for the edge regions , which are also conical and can be closed by actuating elements (not shown) in the direction of the arrows D around the stamp 4 in order also to press the edge regions of the sheet against the stamp.
