Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Rohren und Profilen mit über der Länge variabler Wandstärke.The invention relates to a method for producing pipes and profiles with over the length of variable wall thickness.
Aus der DE 104 875 ist es bekannt, tafel- oder streifenförmige Blechstücke so auszuwalzen, daß parallele Streifen unterschiedlicher Wandstärke an dem Blechstück entstehen. Danach wird das Blechstück quer zu diesen Streifen rundgebogen und zu einem Rohr verlötet, wodurch das Rohr Längsabschnitte unterschiedlicher Wandstärke erhält.From DE 104 875 it is known to strip sheet-shaped or strip-shaped sheet metal pieces, that parallel strips of different wall thickness on the piece of sheet metal arise. Thereafter, the piece of sheet metal is bent around and bent around these strips soldered to a tube, whereby the tube longitudinal sections of different wall thickness receives.
Aus der EP 0 788 849 A1 ist ein gleichartiges Verfahren zur Herstellung von Rohren mit Abschnitten unterschiedlicher Wandstärke bekannt, bei dem aus einem anfangsebenen Blech durch gezielte partielle Wanddickenreduktion Bereiche unterschiedlicher Wanddicke mit zueinander parallelen Verlauf entstehen. Hierbei wird das gewalzte Blech zugeschnitten, zu einem Rohr umgeformt und entlang der Stoßkanten gefügt, insbesondere verschweißt.EP 0 788 849 A1 discloses a similar process for the production of pipes with sections of different wall thickness, in which an initial level Sheet metal by targeted partial wall thickness reduction areas of different Wall thickness arise with parallel course. This is the rolled Sheet metal cut, formed into a tube and along the abutting edges joined, in particular welded.
Aus der DD 244 083 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Rohren und Hohlprofilen mit in Längsrichtung sich änderndem Innendurchmesser bekannt. Hierbei werden vorbestimmte Abschnitte eines Metallbandes ausgewalzt, während die übrigen Abschnitte ihre ungewalzte Form und damit die ursprüngliche Materialstärke beibehalten. Das so unterschiedlich ausgewalzte Metallband wird in einer Profilanlage dann zum Rohr oder Hohlprofil profiliert.From DD 244 083 A1 discloses a process for the production of pipes and hollow profiles with longitudinally changing inner diameter known. Here are predetermined sections of a metal strip rolled while the remaining sections maintain their non-rolled shape and thus the original material thickness. The so differently rolled out metal strip is then in a profile plant profiled to the tube or hollow profile.
Der periodische Wechsel von ausgewalzten zu ungewalzten Bandabschnitten beschränkt die Walzgeschwindigkeit und kann zu Schwachstellen im Band an den Übergängen führen. Beim Durchlauf der ungewalzten Bandabschnitte durch die Walzeinrichtung ist keine Führung des Metallbandes gegeben. Damit ist keine exakte Längenbemessung der ungewalzten Bandabschnitte möglich.The periodic change from rolled to unrolled strip sections limited the rolling speed and can cause weak spots in the band at the Transitions lead. During the passage of the non-rolled band sections through the Rolling device is given no guidance of the metal strip. This is not an exact one Length measurement of the non-rolled band sections possible.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verbessertes Herstellungsverfahren
mit erhöhter Produktivität für Rohre und Profile der genannten Art in
verbesserter Qualität bereitzustellen. Die Lösung hierfür besteht in einem Verfahren
mit den erfindungsgemäßen Schritten:
Mit diesem Verfahren wird die Technik des flexiblen Walzen von endlosem Bandmaterial, wie sie z. B. in der Deutschen Patentanmeldung 103 15 357.8 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist, für die Herstellung von Rohren und Profilen der genannten Art zur Erhöhung der Produktivität erschlossen.With this method, the technique of flexible rolling of endless strip material, as they are z. B. in German Patent Application 103 15 357.8 of the Applicant is described for the production of pipes and profiles of the type mentioned Increased productivity.
Hierbei ist es grundsätzlich möglich, die Walzgeschwindigkeit an die bestmögliche Umformgeschwindigkeit für das Umformen zum endlosen Rohr oder Profil anzupassen, so daß sämtliche Verfahrensschritte synchron ablaufen können. In bevorzugter Verfahrensführung wird jedoch das Bandmaterial nach dem mit hoher Geschwindigkeit erfolgenden flexiblen Walzen mit einer ersten Wickelgeschwindigkeit auf einen Coil aufgewickelt und zum Umformen des Bandmaterials zum endlosen Rohr oder Profil mit einer zweiten geringeren Wickelgeschwindigkeit, die auf das Umformen zum endlosen Rohr oder Profil optimiert ist, von diesem Coil abgewickelt.Here it is possible in principle, the rolling speed to the best possible Adapt forming speed for forming to continuous tube or profile, so that all process steps can run synchronously. In preferred However, process control becomes the strip material after the high speed taking flexible rolls with a first winding speed on a Coil wound and for forming the strip material to the endless tube or Profile with a second lower winding speed, which on the forming optimized for endless tube or profile, unwound from this coil.
Anlagen zum Rundbiegen zu einem Rohr in Längsrichtung des Bandmaterials bzw. zum Umformen zu einem Profil in Längsrichtung des Bandmaterials mit entsprechender Walzenanordnung mit formgebenden Walzen sind in der Technik bekannt. Solche Anlagen umfassen eine Vielzahl von in Produktionsrichtung hintereinanderliegenden Formwalzen mit sich regelmäßig ändernder Walzenform und/oder Achslage. Systems for bending round to a tube in the longitudinal direction of the strip material or for forming into a profile in the longitudinal direction of the strip material with corresponding Roller assemblies with forming rollers are known in the art. Such systems include a plurality of consecutively in the production direction Forming rolls with regularly changing roll shape and / or axis position.
Bei den Rohren und Profilen kann es sich um im Querschnitt offene Schlitzrohre oder Profile oder im Querschnitt geschlossene Rohre oder Profile handeln. In bevorzugter Verfahrensführung wird das endlose Rohr oder Profil zum geschlossen Rohr oder Profil längs - insbesondere in stumpfem Stoß - verschweißt. Hierbei kann der Innendurchmesser oder -querschnitt konstant gehalten werden, während sich die variable Wanddicke am Außendurchmesser oder -querschnitt abbildet.The tubes and profiles may be open in cross-section slotted tubes or Profile or cross-section closed tubes or profiles act. In preferred Procedure is the endless pipe or profile to the closed pipe or Longitudinal profile - especially in blunt joint - welded. Here, the inner diameter or cross-section are kept constant while the variable Wall thickness at the outer diameter or cross-section maps.
Nach einer weiterführenden günstigen Verfahrensgestaltung werden die einzelnen Rohr- oder Profilstücke nach dem Ablängen derart umgeformt, daß sie über der Länge variable Querschnitte aufweisen. Derartige Rohrstücke werden insbesondere im Kraftfahrzeugbau in vielen Verwendungszwecken eingesetzt, insbesondere als Träger mit definiertem ungleichförmigen Verformungsverhalten (Crashelemente) oder mit definiertem ungleichförmigen Belastungsverhalten (Biegeträger).After a continuing favorable process design, the individual Pipe or profile pieces formed after cutting to such an extent that they over the length have variable cross-sections. Such pieces of pipe are used in particular Automotive engineering used in many applications, especially as a carrier with defined non-uniform deformation behavior (crash elements) or with defined non-uniform load behavior (bending beam).
Nach einer besondere Verfahrensführung werden zunächst über der Länge gleichbleibend runde Rohre so umgeformt, daß zumindest ein Längsabschnitt unrund, insbesondere im Querschnitt seitlich abgeflacht ist.After a special procedure, the length remains constant over the length Round tubes formed so that at least one longitudinal section out of round, in particular is flattened laterally in cross section.
Beim flexiblen Walzen werden stetige Übergänge zwischen den einzelnen Bandabschnitten bezüglich der Dicke hergestellt. Es findet insbesondere eine Reduzierung der Ausgangsdicke von durchgehend mindestens 5 % statt. Hierbei sollten sich aneinander anschließende Bandabschnitte in der Enddicke um mindestens 20 %, insbesondere mehr als 25 % unterscheiden. Die Übergänge zwischen einzelnen Bandabschnitten unterschiedlicher konstanter Bandenddicke sollen so gestreckt sein, daß ein Gradient aus Dickenänderung zu Bandlänge von höchstens 1:40 entsteht.When flexible rolling continuous transitions between the individual band sections made in thickness. It finds in particular a reduction the initial thickness of at least 5% throughout. This should be together subsequent strip sections in the final thickness by at least 20%, in particular differentiate more than 25%. The transitions between individual band sections different constant Bandenddicke should be stretched so that a gradient of thickness change to strip length of at most 1:40 is formed.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel für ein solches Rohr ist in der einzigen Zeichnung dargestellt.
Diese zeigt in Darstellung a ein erfindungsgemäßes Rohr 11 im Längsschnitt.
An dem Rohr sind erste Abschnitte 12, 13, 14 mit größerer Wandstärke und einseitigen
Abflachungen 18 sowie zwei Abschnitte 16, 17 geringerer Wandstärke mit unverformtem
kreisrunden Querschnitt erkennbar. Weiterhin ist eine Längsnaht 19 markiert,
die vom nachträglichen Umformen des Rohres nicht unmittelbar betroffen ist.An embodiment of such a tube is shown in the single drawing.
