Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verbinden von zwei oder mehr Bauteilen mittels Nieten nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens. Insbesondere miteinander vernietete Bleche werden in letzter Zeit wieder verstärkt im Fahrzeugbau verwendet. Dieses ist auch bedingt durch die Verwendung von unterschiedlichen Materialien, die miteinander zu Baugruppen verbunden werden. Zusätzlich kann das Verbinden mittels Nieten durch Kleben ergänzt werden.The invention relates to a method for connecting two or more components by means of Rivets according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for carrying them out this procedure. In particular, sheet metal riveted to one another is used in recently used again in vehicle construction. This is also due to the use of different materials that are joined together to form assemblies become. In addition, the connection using rivets can be supplemented by gluing become.

Zum Nieten derartiger Bauteile werden häufig Nietzangen eingesetzt, bei denen der Niettreiber und der Gegenhalter an den Enden eines gemeinsamen U-förmigen Bügels angebracht werden. Diese Nietzangen werden von Hand oder auch von einem Roboter geführt. Zum Verbinden von Blechen werden üblicherweise Stanzniete verwendet. Beim Einsatz derartiger "Stanzniete" ist es nicht erforderlich, Nietbohrungen in die Bleche einzubringen.Riveting pliers are often used for riveting such components, in which the Rivet driver and the counterholder at the ends of a common U-shaped bracket be attached. These riveting pliers are made by hand or by a robot guided. Punch rivets are usually used to connect metal sheets. At the Using such "punch rivets" it is not necessary to drill rivet holes in the sheets.

Das vorbeschriebene Verfahren unter Verwendung von hydraulisch oder elektromechanisch betriebenen Nietzangen weist mehrere Nachteile auf. Nietzangen müssen sehr steif und damit sehr schwer ausgebildet werden, je länger ihre Arme sind, also je weiter der Nietpunkt von der Außenkante des Werkstückes entfernt ist. Das führt zu hohen Zangengewichten und großen Elastizitäten im Werkzeug. Des Weiteren müssen starke Roboter eingesetzt werden, die dementsprechend nicht so schnell sind wie leichtere Roboter. Weiterhin nachteilig wird eine hohe Taktzeit benötigt, da die Nietzange erst geöffnet und komplizieret positioniert werden muss, bevor sie an anderer Stelle an einem anderen Nietpunkt wieder angesetzt werden kann. Das verstärkt sich, wenn mit mehreren Robotern und mehreren Nietzangen in einer Vorrichtung gearbeitet wird.The above method using hydraulic or Electromechanically operated riveting pliers have several disadvantages. Riveters have to be very stiff and therefore very heavy, the longer their arms are, that is, the further the rivet point is from the outer edge of the workpiece. Leading too high pliers weights and great elasticity in the tool. Furthermore strong robots must be used, which are accordingly not as fast like lighter robots. A disadvantage is that a high cycle time is required because the rivet pliers must first be opened and positioned in a complicated manner before it can be used on others Can be reattached at another riveting point. That intensifies when working with several robots and several riveting pliers in one device becomes.

Von daher stellt sich die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren zum Verbinden von zwei oder mehr Bauteilen mittels Nieten zu finden, das mit leichteren Werkzeugen durchgeführt werden kann und eine geringere Taktzeit ermöglicht.Therefore, the task arises of a method of connecting two or more Finding components using rivets that can be done with lighter tools can and allows a shorter cycle time.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. In den Ansprüchen 2 bis 6 sind vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen des Verfahrens beschrieben. Anspruch 7 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. In den Ansprüchen 8 bis 12 sind vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen dieser Vorrichtung beschrieben.This object is achieved with a method having the features of claim 1. In The claims 2 to 6 advantageous training and further developments of the method are described. Claim 7 describes a device for performing the invention Process. In the claims 8 to 12 are advantageous training and further education described this device.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it
Fig. 1
the schematic representation of a riveting device according to the invention and
Fig. 2
a die for holding the floor assembly of a motor vehicle.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel werden zwei oder mehr Bleche mittels Nieten miteinander verbunden. Dazu liegen, wie in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellt, zwei Bleche 1, 2 auf einer Vorrichtung 3 auf. Das unten liegende Blech 2 liegt direkt auf der Vorrichtung 3 auf und wird mittels Justier- und Halteelementen 4 in der vorgesehenen Bearbeitungsposition gehalten. Das mit dem unten liegenden Blech 2 zu verbindende zweite Blech 1 wird beispielsweise mittels Saugnäpfen 5 an seiner Position fixiert. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass die durch Nieten miteinander zu verbindenden Bleche 1, 2 an Haftpunkten mittels eines Haftklebers miteinander verbunden sind, bevor sie miteinander vernietet werden.In the exemplary embodiment, two or more sheets are connected to one another by means of rivets. For this purpose, as shown schematically in FIG. 1, there are two sheets 1, 2 on one Device 3 on. The sheet 2 below lies directly on the device 3 and is in the intended processing position by means of adjusting and holding elements 4 held. The second sheet 1 to be connected to the sheet 2 lying below is fixed in position for example by means of suction cups 5. However, it is also conceivable that the sheets 1, 2 to be joined together by rivets at adhesion points are connected to one another by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive before they are riveted together become.

Unterhalb der Bleche 1, 2 sind Gegenhalter 6 an den vorgesehenen Nietpositionen an der Vorrichtung 3 befestigt. Diese Gegenhalter 6 sind vorzugsweise gleich aufgebaut. Im Ausführungsbeispiel weisen sie einen Fuß 7, einen Haltering 8, einen Stempel 9 und einen Verstellkeil 10 auf. Je nach Erfordernis muss nur der Fuß 7 eine unterschiedliche Form und der Stempel 9 eine variierende Länge aufweisen. Die übrigen Bauteile des Gegenhalters 6 können für alle Nietpunkte gleich ausgebildet sein. Der Gegenhalter 6 kann vorzugsweise auf der Vorrichtung 3 hinsichtlich seiner Lage und seiner Höhe verstellt werden. Damit wird erreicht, dass er hinsichtlich Lage und Höhe exakt unter dem Nietpunkt positioniert ist.Brackets 6 are located at the intended rivet positions below the sheets 1, 2 the device 3 attached. These counterholders 6 are preferably constructed identically. In the exemplary embodiment, they have a foot 7, a retaining ring 8, a stamp 9 and an adjusting wedge 10. Depending on the requirement, only the foot 7 needs a different one Shape and the stamp 9 have a varying length. The remaining components of the Bracket 6 can be made the same for all rivet points. The counterhold 6 can preferably on the device 3 in terms of its location and height be adjusted. This ensures that it is exactly below in terms of location and height the rivet point is positioned.

Für die Verbindung von Blechen 1, 2 miteinander werden vorzugsweise Stanzniete 11 verwendet. Sie werden mittels eines Niettreibers 12 durch die nicht vorgebohrten Bleche 1, 2 getrieben und werden nach diesem Durchtreiben gegen den Gegenhalter 6, der eine entsprechende Kopfausnehmung aufweist, vernietet. Der Niettreiber 12 ist mit einer nicht dargestellten Nietzuführeinrichtung ausgerüstet. Der Niettreiber 12 ist über eine Aufnahme 13 am Ende des Arms eines Roboters befestigt und wird über den Roboter gehalten und positioniert. Eine für das Blechpaket und den Nietvorgang erwünschte Anpresskraft, die es ermöglicht, die Bleche des Blechpakets vor dem Nieten aneinander zu legen, kann über eine Feder 14 oder eine andersartige Druckerzeugung erbracht werden.Punch rivets 11 are preferably used for the connection of sheets 1, 2 used. They are driven through the non-predrilled by means of a rivet driver 12 Sheets 1, 2 are driven and are then pressed against the counter-holder 6, which has a corresponding head recess, riveted. The rivet driver 12 is with equipped a rivet feeder, not shown. The rivet driver 12 is over a receptacle 13 is attached to the end of the arm of a robot and is over the Robot held and positioned. One for the laminated core and the riveting process Desired contact pressure, which enables the sheets of the sheet stack in front of the Placing rivets together can be done via a spring 14 or some other type of pressure generation be provided.

Das Stanzen des Bleches und Formen des unteren Nietkopfes kann durch kontinuierliche Krafteinwirkung oder durch Hämmern erfolgen. Sofern es durch Hämmern erfolgt, können die Gegenhaltekräfte von Niettreiber 12 und Roboter verringert werden.Stamping the sheet and shaping the lower rivet head can be done by continuous Apply force or by hammering. If it is done by hammering, the counter forces of rivet driver 12 and robot can be reduced.

Die Erfindung ist auch ohne Verwendung von Robotern einsetzbar. Auch hier ergeben sich wirtschaftliche Vorteile. Der Niettreiber 12 wird in diesem Fall manuell positioniert und gehalten. Die Nietpositionen müssen dann verständlicherweise auf den Blechen 1, 2 markiert sein.The invention can also be used without the use of robots. Surrender here too economic benefits. In this case, the rivet driver 12 is positioned manually and held. The rivet positions must then understandably on the sheets 1, 2 be marked.

In einer besonderen Ausbildung kann bei einer verketteten Fertigungs- und Montageeinrichtung die Vorrichtung 3 vor oder nach dem Arbeitsgang des Nietens auch andere Aufgaben haben. Beispielsweise kann eine übliche Stanz- oder Prägematrize, die vorher für die Arbeitsgänge Stanzen, Prägen oder Richten des Bleches eingesetzt wird, mit entsprechenden Gegenhaltern 6 versehen sein. Eine derartige Ausbildung reduziert die Werkzeugkosten. In a special training in a linked manufacturing and assembly facility the device 3 before or after the riveting operation also others To have tasks. For example, a common stamping or embossing die, the previously used for punching, embossing or straightening the sheet, be provided with corresponding counterholders 6. Such training reduced the tool costs.

Sofern es erforderlich ist, können beim Anbinden von dickwandigen Bauteilen diese auch bereits mit Nietlöchern versehen sein. Dieses bringt beim manuellen Vernieten den Vorteil, dass keine separaten Markierungspunkte angebracht werden müssen. Beim Vernieten mit einem Roboter muss die Steuergenauigkeit des Roboters dann jedoch entsprechend hoch sein.If necessary, this can be done when connecting thick-walled components already be provided with rivet holes. This brings with manual riveting the advantage that no separate marking points have to be attached. When riveting with a robot, however, the control accuracy of the robot must then be correspondingly high.

Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch eine Vorrichtung 3 zum Auflegen der Bodengruppe eines PKW's. Bei derartigen Baugruppen mit einer großen Anzahl von Blechen und Profilen, die über Nieten miteinander verbunden werden müssen, gestaltet sich die Ausbildung der Vorrichtung 3 entsprechend aufwendig. Hier kommt jedoch besonders der Vorteil zum Tragen, dass die Gegenhalter gleichartig aufgebaut sind und in Lage und Höhe in einfacher Weise verstellbar sind. Wie ersichtlich, können die Gegenhalter 6 auch horizontal oder schräg an der Vorrichtung 3 befestigt sein. Gerade die Darstellung einer komplexen Bodengruppe gemäß Fig. 2 zeigt den Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Hier können in einfacher Weise mehrere Roboter eingesetzt werden, ohne sich gegenseitig zu behindern, da die Niettreiber 12 wesentlich kleiner sind, als entsprechende Nietzangen ausgebildet sein müssten. Fig. 2 shows schematically a device 3 for placing the bottom group of a Cars. With such assemblies with a large number of sheets and profiles, the training is designed to be connected to each other via rivets the device 3 correspondingly expensive. But here comes the advantage to carry that the counterholders are constructed in the same way and in position and height in are easily adjustable. As can be seen, the counterholders 6 can also be attached horizontally or obliquely to the device 3. Just the representation of one 2 shows the advantage of the invention Process. Here, several robots can be used in a simple manner without to hinder each other because the rivet drivers 12 are much smaller than appropriate riveting pliers should be formed.
