Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing tubes made of thin-walled material, in particular of sheet metal, with a clamping device which has clamping jaws arranged on opposite sides of the tube blank and pressable against the tube blank for holding a tube-shaped preformed tube blank in the welding position.
  • Package flat side adjoining pressure plates have, which rest in a landing area narrow side of the pipe blank and are pressed against the pipe blank, the plate packages are adapted to the outer contour of the pipe blank in the landing area, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is from the DE-C-593 622 known.
  • clamping jaws each consisting of a number of spaced-apart clamping elements, which are pressed to hold a tubular preformed blank in welding position against the pipe blank. Since the distance of the sides of the tube blank to be welded together varies slightly in the region of each clamping element, the weld can in particular over the entire longitudinal extent can hardly be produced with the desired accuracy and quality in contoured tubes.
  • the known device comprises a tensioning device which has clamping jaws which can be pressed on opposite sides of the pipe blank for holding a tubular preformed pipe blank in the welding position. These jaws carry steel forming discs which have decreasing recesses corresponding to the conical tube.
  • a device for the production of longitudinally welded pipes from sheet metal blanks with parallel longitudinal edges is known.
  • the previously known device has a clamping device with two mutually associated mold halves, between which the tube to be processed sheet metal blank can be inserted so that the emerging at the apex of the molds from the mold gaps longitudinal edges can be kept in the welding position to form a butt joint until a via The welding gap movable welding device these longitudinal edges welded together.
  • the clamping device comprising the mold halves is fixed to a specific pipe diameter.
  • the known device For forming the metal strip, the known device has a die with an inner channel, in which the strip is bent in the transverse direction during its movement in the longitudinal direction.
  • the die In order to be able to form a larger range of diameters with only one die, the die consists of the US-A-3,433,043 previously known device of a number of adjoining slats, which are arranged to adjust the shape of the inner channel on the diameter of the tubular element adjustable and with the aid of flat bars, which act on the outboard slats, can be fixed.
  • a die intended for forming a metal strip is described above. With the help of the prior art forming die only tubes with a constant cross section in a continuous Process be prepared.
  • the inventive solution to this problem is in the device of the type mentioned in particular that the device has a welding machine for longitudinal seam welding and that the clamping jaws are pressed by at least one pressure roller against the pipe blank, which pressure rollers pressurize the pressure plates on their side facing away from the landing side narrow side ,
  • the device according to the invention has a tensioning device, the clamping jaws of which are arranged on opposite sides of the tube blank in each case have a plate packet on the flat side of abutting pressure plates. These plate packages are adapted to the outer contour of the pipe blank in a landing area such that the pressure plates lie there on the narrow side of the pipe blank.
  • the tensioning device of the device according to the invention with its plate packages formed from a plurality of pressure plates, ensures that the sides to be welded together, even of a contoured tube blank, rest uniformly against one another over the entire longitudinal extent.
  • the clamping jaws are pressed by means of at least one pressure roller against the pipe blank, wherein the pressure rollers act on the pressure plates on their side facing away from the landing narrow side.
  • the pressure plates each have a plate thickness which approximately corresponds to the width of the pipe material softened by the welding point of the welding machine.
  • the pressure plates are each formed from a sheet metal blank.
  • the plate packages formed from a plurality of Andschreibplatten can be easily and quickly move relative to the pipe blank when the jaws each have a clamping bar on which the clamping jaw associated plate package is held.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the clamping strips of the opposing clamping jaws define the weld therebetween.
  • the pressure rollers are pressed respectively by means of a two-armed toggle lever against the clamping jaws, facing away from the pressure roller arm end of a pressure cylinder or the like pressure transducer.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 is a device 1 for producing pipes made of thin-walled material, in particular of sheets, shown in different views.
  • the device 1 has a butt seam welding machine, not shown here, for longitudinal seam welding and a clamping device 2, which is intended to hold a tubular preformed material blank 3 in the welding position.
  • the clamping device 2 has arranged on opposite sides of the pipe blank 3 clamping jaws 4, which are pressed against the pipe blank 3.
  • the clamping jaws 4 each have a plate package on flat side abutting pressure plates 5, which rest in a landing area 6 narrow side of the pipe blank 3.
  • the plate packages are adapted in this application area 6 to the contoured outer contour of the outer blank over its longitudinal extent different diameter tube blank 3.
  • the clamping jaws 4 can each be pressed against the tube blank 3 by means of a pressure roller 9.
  • the axes 10 of the opposing sides of the pipe blank 3 in pairs mutually associated pressure rollers 9 are arranged in a transverse to the longitudinal extent of the pipe blank 3 and extending through the welding point of the welding machine level, in FIGS. 2 and 3 is indicated by the line L.
  • the pressure plates 5 are pressurized on their side facing away from the landing area 6 narrow side of the pressure rollers 9. The pressure rollers 9 thus transfer their radially acting pressure force in each case to those pressure plates 5, which lie in the plane L of the welding point of the welding machine.
  • the plate packages are not shown here Way each held on mutually associated massive clamping strips 11.
  • the on opposite sides of the Rohrzutechnisches 3 pairs associated clamping bars 11 define between them the longitudinal weld 12th
  • the pressure plates 5 have a joint-shaped formation 13, with which the pressure plates 5 are threaded in a complementary shaped joint pan-shaped recess in the associated tensioning strip 11.
  • This connection between the plate-forming a pressure plate 5 on the one hand and the associated clamping bar 11 on the other hand forms an axisless hinge fourteenth
