Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manufacturing method according to the preamble of claim 1 (see US-A 6 134 767).
- Components manufactured by internal high pressure forming are versatile, especially in the automotive sector.
- the windscreen crossmember and the A-pillars "Internal high pressure forming components” manufactured.
- On these hydroforming components must now again fasteners to connect with other components may be provided.
- the connection with other components is made so far usually by welding and screwing techniques.
- Threaded screw technology are done in a separate step "Threaded inserts" inserted into the internal high-pressure formed components or bolts welded onto the hydroforming components.
- Threaded screw technology are done in a separate step "Threaded inserts" inserted into the internal high-pressure formed components or bolts welded onto the hydroforming components.
- the object of the invention is to provide a manufacturing process with the whole general "connecting elements" in a simple manner on hydroforming components are attachable.
- the basic principle of the invention is immediately after the manufacture of the Internal high pressure forming component, i.e. in the hydroforming tool Connection or fastening element in the hydroforming component punch in and then the connecting or fastening element deform that it is form-fitting with the hydroforming component connected is.
- connection or fastening element is expressed in simplified terms as "Punching tool” for punching a through opening in the wall of the Internal high pressure forming component used. Then the connection or fastening element plastically deformed similar to a blind rivet and thereby firmly connected to the hydroforming component. Since the connection or Fastener acts as a "punching tool” when “setting”, it points preferably a higher strength than the material of the réellehoch horrumformbauteils.
- the fastening element can, for example, be a cup nut with an internal thread his. Similar to a blind rivet, a mandrel can be provided, which in the Bottom of the pot nut is screwed. After "punching" the pot nut in the wall of the hydroforming component is the cup nut by means of a pressed together on the mandrel and on an edge of the pot nut. The pot nut deforms and "flows" in the radial direction, which creates a positive connection with the hydroforming component results. After reaching a predetermined tensile force or specified mandrel length is removed, i.e. unscrewed.
- the fastening element can also be deformed in a different way be positively connected to the hydroforming component.
- Essential is mainly that the fastener as a "punching tool" acts and with still in the hydroforming tool Internal high pressure forming component is punched.
- the fastening element which can also be referred to as an insert element, in a side view is asymmetrical.
- asymmetrical means that the fastening or insert element in an end peripheral region has phase-like bevel.
- the phased bevel has the purpose that when “pressing” or punching the fastener into the Wall of the internal high-pressure formed component of the "punching slugs" "inwards” is bent and does not tear off.
- the punching slug thus remains on Internal high. So it is not punched out.
- For hollow components it is often difficult to get loose punch slugs out of the cavity find out. Vehicle components in particular are loose in the cavity punching slugs located are not acceptable for noise or safety reasons.
- the fastener or insert element has on the "set side", i.e. a circumferential projecting on the outside of the hydroforming component Edge on.
- the fastener or insert is then so far in stamped the wall of the hydroforming component that the protruding Edge abuts the outer wall of the hydroforming component.
- a major advantage of the invention is that in a single "integrated" process step thread inserts or threaded bolts for medium and heavy screw connections in the Internal high pressure forming component can be introduced. Since that Internal high pressure forming component when setting the thread inserts or Threaded bolt remains in the hydroforming tool is a very accurate Positioning the thread inserts and threaded bolts and thus a very Process-safe fastening suitable for large series production possible. in the Difference from the prior art, where "connecting elements" outside the High pressure forming tool set in a separate operation " , the hydroforming component does not need to be clamped again and be positioned because it is in the assembly of the "connecting elements" in the Internal high pressure forming tool remains.
- FIGS. 1 - 6 show the individual in a highly simplified schematic representation "Phases” when setting a "connecting element", here one Threaded pot nut is.
- a component blank e.g. a pipe blank between two Tool halves 1, 2 of an internal high pressure forming tool inserted. Then the two ends (not shown) of the component blank locked. A pressure medium is then in an interior of the component blank brought in. By pressurizing the interior of the component, what happens here Arrow 3 is indicated, the component blank is deformed and comes into contact with the Inner contour of the hydroforming tool, which is in the Figures 1 to 6 schematically indicated internal high pressure forming component 4 results.
- the fastener is a cup nut with an internal thread.
- a phase-like bevel 7 is provided at that Internal high-pressure forming component 4 facing the end face of the pot nut, i.e. in the Area of the bottom of the pot nut.
- the pot nut 6 is therefore asymmetrical in a side view.
- the pot nut 6 has a circumferential projecting Edge 8 on. Furthermore, a so-called pull mandrel 9 is provided, which is extends into the interior of the pot nut 6.
- the pot nut 6 is with one end face on the outside of the Wall of the hydroforming component 4.
- the pot nut 6 by a punching mechanism, not shown here, which is also integrated in the hydroforming tool 2 can be punched into the wall of the hydroforming component 4, which in Figures 2-6 is shown.
- the wall of the hydroforming component 4 is punched through the end face 10 of the pot nut, but not circulating. Because of the bevel 7 provided on the pot nut 6 is namely ensures that a resulting punching slug 11 is bent inwards and is not punched out. The punching slug 11 thus remains on Internal high pressure forming component 4.
- the pot nut 6 is so far in the Wall punched in the hydroforming component 4 that the peripheral edge 8 on the outside of the wall of the Inner high pressure forming component 4 is present.
- the cup nut 6 is plastically deformed in the last step. Similar to a blind rivet, the dome 9 is pulled outwards. With a counterholder, not shown here, is placed on the edge 8 of the pot nut 6 applied a counterforce. The bottom of the pot nut 6 thus becomes the inside the wall of the hydroforming component 4 pulled. The pot nut 6 deforms plastically, the edge region of the pot nut 6 radially flows outside. This creates a bead 12 on the inside of the wall of the Inner high pressure forming component 4 is present. The pot nut 6 is now form-fitting and permanently connected to the hydroforming component 4. After reaching A predetermined tensile force or tensile length can pull mandrel 9 from the pot nut 6 can be removed.
- the pot nut 6 can now be used as a fastening element for screwing on others Components to the hydroforming component 4 are used.
- a nut can also be used a continuous internal thread can be provided, in which the mandrel for Put the nut is screwed.
- an insert element could be used in which the mandrel follows the "setting" remains on the insert element.
- the mandrel can be, for example Have external thread, on which another component is then screwed.
