Definitions
- the present invention relates to a forming tool for forming sheet blanks in a diaphragm press of the kind comprising an openable, closed pressure chamber, which is divided in a gas and liquid tight manner by means of a flexible diaphragm, the forming tool being adapted to be arranged on one side of the diaphragm and a sheet blank to be formed being adapted to be arranged between the forming tool and the diaphragm, while the opposite side of the diaphragm is adapted to be pressurised by a fluid being supplied at high pressure to cause the flexible diaphragm to deform and, thus, the sheet blank to be pressed against the forming tool, the forming tool further comprising a cutting edge, so that the sheet blank is both formed into the desired shape and cut to the desired size in a single forming step.
- diaphragm presses In connection with forming sheet blanks, such as sheets of steel or aluminium for use in vehicles, it is known to use so-called diaphragm presses of the kind described above.
- a forming tool is provided in a closed press chamber and the sheet blank to be formed is arranged between the forming tool and an elastic diaphragm of rubber or a polymer, which divides the press chamber in two separate chamber portions in a gas and liquid tight manner.
- the diaphragm By supplying a liquid at high pressure at the opposite side of the diaphragm, the diaphragm will be deformed and press the sheet blank against the forming tool whereby the blank obtains the desired shape.
- Forming using diaphragm presses of this kind is particularly advantageous in conjunction with relatively small production runs, since the cost of manufacturing the forming tools is relatively low.
- the blank in every other kind of forming operation, it is desirable that, to the utmost possible extent, the blank be formed into a finished product in one single forming step, thereby avoiding, as far as possible, any subsequent machining that would increase the costs.
- the blank in the forming operation, the blank be cut to the correct size and shape and that, if desired, flanged edges be formed, said flanged edges being used, for example, for attaching the finished blank and for connecting it to other structural elements of the end product, such as a vehicle.
- EP 0 288 705 discloses a forming tool for diaphragm presses by means of which it is possible to cut the sheet-metal blank to the desired size and to form a flanged edge along the periphery of the cut sheet-metal blank. This is achieved by the forming tool having cutting bars with a sharp cutting edge along the circumference of the forming tool and recesses for forming the flanged edges after cutting. During the forming process, the sheet-metal blank will, at a certain degree of deformation, be pressed against the cutting edges, which will cause the sheet to rupture and be cut off to the predetermined size, flanged edges being then formed at the cut-off edge portions by said portions being pressed into the recesses provided therefor in the forming tool.
- the present invention aims at providing an improved forming tool for diaphragm presses, which allows the sheet blank to be cut to the desired size and a flanged edge to be formed by bending along at least part of the periphery of the sheet-shaped blank and/or along a circumferential edge of an opening therein in a single forming step, while ensuring a high degree of dimensional accuracy and shape permanence as well as a finished product of high quality.
- An additional advantage obtained by means of the forming tool according to the invention is that it is easier to remove both the formed product and the remaining surplus or scrap after the forming operation. At least said objects and advantages are obtained by means of a forming tool according to claim 1.
- the forming tool in the places where the sheet blank is to be cut and bent to form a flanged edge, is provided with an elongate cutting and flanging tool, which is displaceable with the aid of actuating means towards and away from the diaphragm in a slot in the forming tool.
- the forming tool can comprise, as shown and described also in connection with the following working examples, such a cutting and flanging tool for the purpose of cutting the sheet-metal blank and bending it to form a flanged edge along the whole periphery of the blank.
- a cutting and flanging tool could also be adapted to cut the blank and bend it to form a flanged edge along the circumference of an opening therein, for example for the purpose of forming window and ventilation openings in car body panels. It would also be conceivable to form a flanged edge by cutting and bending along only part of a body panel edge or a circumferential edge of an opening in the blank. In such cases, the cutting and flanging tool does not need to extend continuously in a closed loop, but may be arranged along a limited section having a beginning and an end.
- the cutting and flanging tool is, in an initial position, flush with the forming surface.
- the cutting function is achieved by the cutting and flanging tool being provided with a sharp shoulder edge, which serves as a cutting edge and which, conveniently, can have a height 1-3 times the thickness of the sheet blank to be formed.
- the blank is cut along said edge, the cutting thus being effected before the blank has been deformed to a significant degree. Owing to the small depth of the recess, its negative influence on the blank, perpendicularly to the lateral contraction, in connection with any prestretching will be insignificant.
- the cutting edge on the cutting and flanging tool, it is easy to provide a flanged edge of varying width by forming the cutting edge at different distances from the edge of the cutting and flanging tool that is oriented towards the forming surface of the forming tool against which the blank is formed.
- the cutting and flanging tool is moved towards and away form the diaphragm with the aid of an arbitrary type of actuating means.
- the actuating means is formed of a plurality of hydraulically operated pistons arranged at intervals of about 100 mm.
- other types of actuating means are also conceivable. At low pressures, pneumatic pistons could be used, for instance.
- the inward displacement of the cutting and flanging tool is controlled by the pressing pressure being exerted, by way of the diaphragm, on a release valve, which, when the pressure is high enough, is pressed inwards and actuates a valve body, which drains the hydraulic system of the pistons, thus allowing the cutting and flanging tool to be forced inwards by the pressing pressure exerted thereon.
- the diaphragm will press the edge portion of the cut blank into the slot in the cutting and flanging tool, so that said edge portion will form an inwardly bent flanged edge.
- both the finished product and the cut-off scrap can be easily disengaged from the forming tool by the actuating means being caused to displace the cutting and flanging tool outwards.
- the cutting and flanging tool will thus disengage the finished product and the scrap and press them out of the forming tool. In many cases, the product and the scrap will stick firmly to the forming tool.
- Fig. 1 is a cross section through a diaphragm press with a forming tool according to the invention arranged therein for forming car body panels.
- Fig. 2 is a top view of the bottom tray of the diaphragm press in Fig. 1 .
- Figs 3-6 are schematic partial cross sections through the cutting and flanging tool and a release valve of the forming tool according to the invention at different pressing pressure levels.
- Figs 7 and 8 are partial cross sections similar to those in Figs 3-6 , which illustrate the function of the release valve in greater detail.
- Fig. 9 is a pressure/time chart illustrating the pressure levels during different time intervals of a forming cycle.
- the forming tool is used for forming sheet-metal blanks for the automotive industry.
- Fig. 1 is a cross section through a diaphragm press 1.
- the latter includes a bottom tray 2 and an upper part 3, which, when brought together as shown in the figure, define a closed pressure chamber 4.
- a flexible diaphragm 5 is arranged between the bottom tray 2 and the upper part 3, which diaphragm provides a gas and liquid tight shield between the bottom tray 2 and the upper part 3.
- a forming tool 6 according to the invention having an annular cutting and flanging tool 7 is arranged in the bottom tray.
- Edge elements 8 with schematically illustrated stretching means 9, 9' are provided between the forming tool 6 and the side walls of the bottom tray 2, and both the forming tool and the edge elements 8 rest on a bottom plate 10.
- a sheet-metal blank 11 to be formed is arranged between the forming tool 6 and the diaphragm 5, two opposite side edges thereof being inserted in the stretching means 9, 9', as shown in Fig. 1 .
- the stretching means 9, 9' allow the sheet-metal blank to be prestretched in one direction to the yield point of the material, or preferably slightly beyond the yield point.
- An excess pressure is then applied in the press chamber 4 on the upper side of the diaphragm 5 by a liquid, preferably oil, being supplied at high pressure by means of a schematically illustrated pump 12 from a storage tank 13. Since the pressure on the upper side of the diaphragm 5 is increased, the latter will be pressed against the sheet-metal blank 11 and the forming tool 6, the shape of whose upper side corresponds to the desired shape of the formed end product.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic top view of the bottom tray 2 with a forming tool 6 arranged therein.
- the forming tool shown in the figure is intended for forming sheet-metal blanks into car hoods and the annular cutting and flanging tool 7 extends along the peripheral edges of the car hood to be formed.
- a release valve 14, which is schematically illustrated in the lower left corner of the figure, will be described in more detail below.
- Figs 3-6 illustrate the function of the forming tool according to the invention and, in particular, the function of the forming tool's cutting and flanging tool 7.
- the latter is arranged in a slot in the forming tool and its outer surface has a shoulder-shaped cross section achieved by a recess 15 being made along an edge of the cutting and flanging tool 7, said recess being located closest to the forming surface 16 against which the sheet-metal blank 11 is to be formed.
- a cutting edge 17 is formed between the outermost outer surface of the cutting and flanging tool 7 and said recess 15.
- the recess 15 has a rectangular cross section.
- the cutting and flanging tool 7 is operable by means of a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 18 provided at intervals of about 100 mm along the whole circumference of the cutting and flanging tool 7.
- the figures also show the release valve 14, the outer surface of which is located slightly within the outer surface of the forming tool.
- the release valve 14 is spring-loaded towards the exterior by means of cup springs 19 and the innermost end of the release valve comprises a valve body 20, which is capable of closing and opening a passage in a hydraulic pipe 21.
- a pressure has been applied to the outside of the diaphragm 5 causing it to be pressed against the sheet-metal blank 11, and the pressure is high enough for a hole to have been stamped in the sheet-metal blank 11 along the periphery of a hole in which the release valve 14 is disposed.
- the force of the spring 19 is so great that the passage in the hydraulic pipe 21 remains closed.
- Fig. 7 which corresponds to Fig. 3
- the forming tool 6 is in an initial position, the sheet-metal blank 11 being stretched over it with the aid of the stretching means 9, 9'.
- a pump 23 is used to generate a pressure in a hydraulic pipe 24, which extends through the bottom plate 10 to each of the hydraulic cylinders 18, such that the cutting and flanging tool 7 is displaced upwards and its outermost surface is flush with the forming surface 16 of the forming tool.
- the pressure in the pipe 24 is maintained by means of a check valve 25 and as long as the passage in the pipe 21, which communicates with the pipe 24, is closed by the valve body 20 owing to the fact that the release valve 14 is pressed outwards by the spring 19, no hydraulic liquid can be evacuated there either.
- Fig. 8 which corresponds to Fig. 6 , the diaphragm (not shown in this figure) has pressed the release valve 14 down, so that the passage in the pipe 21 is open. This allows hydraulic liquid to be evacuated through the pipe 21 and the pressure in the hydraulic cylinders 18 to be released. The diaphragm then causes an inward displacement of the cutting and flanging tool 7 and the flanged edge 22 is bent along the periphery of the sheet-metal blank.
- the release valve 14 will return to its initial projecting position, thus causing the passage in the hydraulic pipe 21 to close.
- the hydraulic cylinders 18 will cause an outward displacement of the cutting and flanging tool 7 and both the finished product and the remaining scrap will be displaced outwards and disengaged from the forming tool.
- Fig. 9 shows a pressure/time chart illustrating the pressure in the press chamber during different time intervals of the forming operation.
- A the sheet-metal blank 11 is stretched with the aid of the stretching means 9, 9' to the yield point of the material.
- the press chamber is then pressurised in such manner that the diaphragm 5 is pressed against the sheet-metal blank 11 and the forming tool, and at B the hole is cut out above the release valve 14.
- point C is reached, at which the sheet-metal blank is cut along the cutting edge 17 of the cutting and flanging tool 7.
- point C is reached, at which the release valve 14 is pressed inwards by the diaphragm, so that he hydraulic pistons 18 are drained.
