  • the crank mechanism drives additional shafts via gears, on which counter masses are arranged eccentrically with respect to the center of gravity are. These counterweights run in the same direction when the crank mechanism rotates in opposite directions and are thus able to balance mass forces or moments of mass to generate, so that a total mass balance in the entire drive system results.
  • a cold pilger rolling mill is also known, in which the Crankshaft for driving the roll stand with centrifugal weights and one vertically oscillating balance weight to balance the first order mass forces as well as the mass moments in the drive.
  • DE 36 13 036 C1 discloses a drive for the roll stand of a cold pilger rolling mill, being a planetary crank drive for driving and balancing mass forces and mass moments is used.
  • Cold-piled pipes made of metallic are used for various applications Materials needed, the inner surface of which is thread-shaped or helical Has inner profiling.
  • This internal profiling can, for example for power and torque transmission in machine or vehicle construction come; they are also used to optimize flow conditions and Heat transfers in lines and in heat exchangers required.
  • the stopper has to Arrangement of a thrust bearing can be hollow. This is also the radial load limited for the stopper.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a method of the generic type Type and to create a corresponding device through which which makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the rotational movement of the stopper corresponding to the swirl is no longer exclusively generated by the feed movement.
  • This object is achieved in that the stopper during of the cold crawl process is driven so that the axial speed of progress of the thread or helix of its negative profile in Direction of the pipe axis of the axial advancement speed of the thread or the helix of the inner profile to be produced in the direction of the pipe axis equivalent.
  • the stopper is preferred during the cold crawl process - in the direction viewed from the tube axis - held axially stationary.
  • a good synchronization of the mechanisms that determine the rolling process is achieved in that, according to a further development, the pipe driven both translationally and rotationally during the cold crawlage process is, the translatory and the rotary drive movement of the Pipe controlled or regulated with the rotary drive movement of the plug is compared.
  • the proposed cold pilger rolling mill for producing a tube with a thread-shaped or helical inner profile, in which the Pipe is moved translationally in the direction of the pipe axis and in which the pipe with its inner surface over one of the inner profiles to be produced corresponding plug having a negative profile is rolled is according to the invention characterized in that the plug with a rotary drive in Connection is established.
  • the stopper is preferably mounted axially stationary. This is an advantage Cold pilger rolling mill a rotary drive for the rotation of the tube and one translatory drive for the translatory movement of the tube, wherein the rotary drive of the plug, the rotary drive of the tube and the translational
  • the tube is driven by a common control or regulation become.
  • the plug has an outer contour that - apart from the negative profile - is essentially cylindrical.
  • the proposed cold pilger rolling mill is technically simple realize when the rotary drive of the plug, the rotary drive for the rotation of the tube and / or the translational drive for the translatory movement of the tube is or are designed as a servo motor.
  • the twist of the inner profile corresponding rotary movement of the plug actively by means of a rotary drive generated advantageously means that there is no limit of the possible twist angle results.
  • the profile depth can also be increased become. This is made possible by the fact that the swirl corresponds Rotational movement of the plug no longer only by the feed movement of the Tube must be generated.
  • the cold pilger rolling process as such is shown schematically in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b. It is used to manufacture or reshape a tube 1 using a pair Cold pilger rolls 12 and 13, the pair in a - not shown - Roll stand is stored.
  • the pipe 1 to be machined is on a stopper (roll dome) 6 led.
  • the roll stand oscillates during the rolling process Movement, with stroke frequencies of up to 300 per minute and more possible are.
  • the tube 1 becomes corresponding in the conveying direction L during the rolling process the direction of the pipe axis 3 - moves.
  • the cold pilger roller pair 12, 13 rolls in the conveying direction L. on pipe 1; during the return stroke, which is outlined in Fig. 1 b, takes place the rolling of the pair of rollers 12, 13 on the tube 1 against the conveying direction L (see arrows for direction of rotation and direction of translation).
  • the rolling stand In order to carry out the cold pilger rolling process, the rolling stand must have an oscillating one Perform movement - that is, a reciprocating movement.
  • a crank mechanism is usually provided which has a crank arm with at least one offset and one eccentric with respect to the bearing point arranged balance weight.
  • the structure of a cold pilger rolling mill can be seen schematically in FIG however only the cold pilger rollers 12, 13 and the elements for translational and rotary drive of the tube 1 are indicated.
  • the tube 1 is rolled in a known manner through the cold pilger rollers 12 and 13, as was explained in connection with FIGS. 1 a and 1 b.
  • the Completely rolled tube 1 should have an internal profile 2, which is helical or extends helically in the direction L of the tube axis 3.
  • the inner lateral surface 4 of the tube 1 is a Rolled mandrel acting plug 6 rolled, the substantially cylindrical outer contour has, but provided on its outer circumference with a negative profile 5 that corresponds to that of the inner profile 2 to be produced.
  • Fig. 2 are the elements only sketched very schematically.
  • the plug 6 located in the interior of the tube 1 is equally with a Rotary drive 7 provided. All three drives - namely the rotary drive 7 for the Rotation of the plug 6, the rotary drive 8 for the rotation of the tube 1 and translatory drive 9 for the translatory movement of the tube 1 - be controlled or regulated by a common control or regulation 10.
  • the respective drives are made so that the plug 6 during the rolling process driven so that the axial speed of advancement of the thread or the helix of the negative profile 5 of the plug 6 in Direction L of the pipe axis 3 of the axial advancement speed of the thread or the spiral of the inner profile 2 to be produced in the direction L of Pipe axis 3 corresponds.
  • the rotary drive 7 of the plug 6 thus takes place in such a way that the tangential component of the negative profile 5 that of the inner profile 2 on site of the plug 6 corresponds, taking into account the translational movement of the tube 1 and its rotational movement.
  • the assignment of the calibration of the cold pilger rollers 12 and 13 on the one hand and the Calibration of the negative profile 5 of the stopper 6, on the other hand, is chosen so that that essentially no stretching of the rolled stock in the area of the negative profile 5 of the plug 6 takes place.
  • the drives 7, 8 and 9 have servomotors by the controller or control 10 can be controlled.
  • the rotation of the tube 1 by the rotary drive 8 can be chosen so that it subtracts from the rotation of the plug 6 by means of the rotary drive 7 is, which minimizes the required angle of rotation or required rotation speed of the plug 6 results.
