Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing a molded part from powder, in particular from metal powder, from a powdery, doughy material, from a powder containing flowable material or from pre-pressed material having a tool on which in the manufacture of the molding a pressing force is exerted by a pressing device, wherein the tool for producing a desired molding contour has at least one piston-cylinder system with a central axis, which has a piston movable hydraulically relative to a cylinder in a travel direction.
  • a generic device is from the US 5,498,147 known. There, a tool is described which has a plurality of concentric piston-cylinder units inserted into each other. To guide the entire tool in the machine, laterally arranged guide columns are provided, which pass through a cover plate of the tool.
  • Devices of this type are used to produce molded parts of metal powder by pressing and subsequent sintering.
  • stamp-like tools are used for the pressing of powdery material, which compress the powder introduced into a die by an axial pressing movement.
  • At least one press die is inserted, which penetrates into the die.
  • the die has a cavity which opens to the punch side is.
  • the die opening is closed - except for a slight play - by the stamp.
  • the stamp builds up by its penetration into the Matrizenhohlraum necessary for compression pressure.
  • a plurality of punches are used, which can move in an axial direction.
  • the punches can dive into an axially closed on one side mold or come in an axially open in both directions die from both axial directions. Occasionally, through mandrel rods are used, but primarily have no compression function, but a positive displacement function.
  • the punches can also dip laterally into the die to create undercuts or other geometric shapes. To demould the molded part, these radially dipping punch are withdrawn so far that the demolding is not hindered.
  • piston-cylinder systems For positioning of the individual stamps, these are connected to piston-cylinder systems or they are part of these systems. In this case, a number of pistons are arranged concentrically with each other. During pressing, they are moved in accordance with the contour of the molded part to be generated by a defined displacement relative to its cylinder.
  • the individual piston-like stamps are guided in their cylinders characterized in that the piston rests with its radially outwardly facing cylindrical surface in the corresponding bore of the cylinder. It has been found, especially in the production of asymmetrical moldings, that tilting moments, the axis of which are perpendicular to the central axis of the tool, can cause problems. The existing leadership of the pistons in their cylinders is then no longer sufficient for a high-quality production. In addition, there may be problems when the rotationally symmetrical pistons in the cylinders uncontrolled around the Central axis can rotate. The known structural elements are then no longer sufficient to ensure a sufficiently accurate guidance of the pistons in their cylinders.
  • the invention is therefore the object of a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the disadvantages mentioned are avoided. It should thus be ensured that even with off-center forces sufficient guidance of the piston is maintained in their cylinders and that a rotation of the piston to its cylinder about the central axis is not possible.
  • This solution to this problem by the invention is characterized by a guide means, which guides at least one of the pistons relative to one of the cylinders in the direction of travel of the piston-cylinder system, wherein the guide means extends in the travel direction along an axis which is spaced from the central axis wherein the tool is designed as a replaceable adapter in the pressing device.
  • the invention thus provides previously unknown in the prior art guide means which are at least partially at a distance from the central axis.
  • the guide means is preferably suitable for receiving a tilting moment between the cylinder and the piston, wherein the tilting moment acts perpendicular to the central axis. Especially when asymmetric moldings have to be pressed and consequently there is no necessarily a symmetrical force distribution, the guide means ensure that no relative tilting between the piston and the cylinder can occur.
  • the guide means comprises at least one rod which is fixedly arranged on the piston or on the cylinder is and which is guided in a guide (socket) in the cylinder or in the piston. It is particularly provided that a plurality of rods are arranged on the piston or on the cylinder; Advantageously, four rods are used, which are arranged on the piston or on the cylinder. These four rods can be arranged symmetrically to two mutually perpendicular planes.
  • the rod may be attached to a support member fixed to the piston or cylinder.
  • a number of piston-cylinder systems are arranged along the central axis.
  • the pistons may be arranged concentrically with each other and at least two pistons may be adjacent to one another on facing lateral surfaces.
  • the guide means can also guide a plurality of pistons and / or cylinders relative to one another.
  • the individual pistons of the tool are guided improved in an advantageous manner, which is particularly their parallelism.
  • the directional stability of the pistons is also improved.
  • the guide rods are quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as the sockets on the respective piston.
  • the overall quality of the molded part is improved because the tool is provided with precisely working parts.
  • a device 1 for producing a molded part is shown, with the metal powder 12 can be pressed into a molded part.
  • the invention is not only suitable for the processing of powder. Frequently, an already preformed compact is re-pressed in a further step, especially in the final pressing at higher pressures.
  • the device 1 consists essentially of a tool 2, which can be used in a pressing device 3.
  • the pressing device 3 has a machine frame 13 with an upper cross member 14 and a lower cross member 15.
  • an upper piston 16 is arranged in a cylinder, with which a pressing force can be applied downward.
  • the lower cross member 15 carries a lower piston 17, with which a pressing force can be generated upwards.
  • the tool 2 has a die 18, which receives the powder 12.
  • a number of stamp pistons 5 arranged concentrically with one another are provided, which are arranged in respective cylinders 4 and can be moved or controlled relative to them.
  • a piston-cylinder system Depending on a piston 5 forms together with this receiving cylinder 4, a piston-cylinder system, as it is already known as such. All pistons 5 and cylinders 4 are arranged concentrically around a central axis 6 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • actuating the respective piston-cylinder systems 4, 5 By actuating the respective piston-cylinder systems 4, 5, a movement in the direction of travel V (corresponds to the present case the vertical direction) can be accomplished. Only mentioned in passing were stamp 19 and 20, which are actuated by the upper piston 16, and a filler 21 for the feed of the die 18 with powder 12th
  • a guide means 7 which prevents tilting and excludes twisting.
  • a plate-shaped support member 11 is fixed to the piston 5, to which in turn four rods 9 are fixedly arranged with a circular cross-section.
  • the rods 9 are arranged displaceably in guides 10 in the cylinder 4 in the direction of travel V.
  • the guides can be designed as tightly tolerated sliding bushes, which ensure that during the displacement of the piston 5 relative to the cylinder 4 in the direction of travel V, a high degree of parallelism of both elements 4, 5 is maintained.
  • tilting moments M which act perpendicular to the direction of travel V, should have no influence on the parallelism between piston 5 and cylinder 4.
  • the rods 9 are positioned so that their axis 8 is at a (radial) distance a from the central axis 6.
