Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a structural or chassis component for motor vehicles and, on the other hand, to such a structural or chassis component.
  • the trimming edges are very often a weak point from which cracks go out, especially under dynamic load or in the event of a crash.
  • the reasons for this are the operational high loads in these edge areas.
  • structural changes and micro-cracks occur during mechanical trimming, which increase the susceptibility of the structure or chassis components to cracking.
  • the sheet thickness at the trim edge is reduced due to the necessary cutting pressure.
  • the technological background also includes the DE 33 43 709 A1 .
  • a method for producing a structural or chassis component in the form of a frame part for motor vehicles is described.
  • the frame component is formed from a blank in a press tool with the special feature that there the blank is partially rolled off and thus has sections of different thickness.
  • the invention is based on the prior art, the task of demonstrating a method for the production of structural or chassis components for motor vehicles with improved and more accurate edge properties and to create a structure or chassis component which is improved with respect to its load behavior.
  • a board made of steel or a light metal is used.
  • a material storage is provided, which is moved and transformed during the forming process in other areas of the structural or chassis component.
  • the board is pressed during the forming process to the structural or chassis component at least at one edge against an abutment in the press tool and formed the material storage in a recess in the press tool. This results in a precise, precisely defined longitudinal edge region on the edge of the structural or chassis component.
  • the procedure according to the invention ensures component edges of high quality, in which microcracks are reliably cold-solidified or hot-pressed.
  • the susceptibility to cracking of the structural or chassis components in the edge region is significantly reduced and overall increases the life of a structural or chassis component according to the invention.
  • the edge of the board is formed in the press tool such that a bead is formed at the edge.
  • One or more beads can be produced on the structural or chassis component. According to the invention, it is provided that a bead is applied, above all, in regions of a structural or chassis component that are subject to cracking or tight tolerances.
  • a circuit board can be used, which has a certain excess compared with the development of the structural or chassis component, so that the Board has a reserve of material to produce one or more beads on the edges.
  • the otherwise often customary subsequent trimming of the outer contour of the structural or chassis components due to fluctuations in the outer contour can be dispensed with. Due to the targeted provision and subsequent displacement of material in the area of the outer edge with defined shaping of the edges subsequent trimming operations are saved. This procedure is particularly suitable for hot-formed press-hardened structural or chassis components.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention provides, initially at least along an edge of the board at a small distance from the outer edge of the board to form a wavy material storage in the manner of a bead.
  • the bead serves as a material reserve during the forming process.
  • the board is formed in the press tool for structural or chassis component.
  • the material storage is leveled in the press tool under material displacement in the direction of the outer edge, so that arises at the edge of the bead.
  • the material storage can be introduced simultaneously with the cutting of the board in a subsequent tool without a separate operation.
  • the edge can also be designed with recesses and as a hole edge.
  • the circuit board or the structural or chassis component may have perforations, for example holes or similar recesses, which are finally shaped to tolerance during the forming process in the press tool.
  • the edge of the openings can also be provided with a bead.
  • the structure or chassis component can be formed both warm and cold.
  • advantageously at least partial hardening of the structural or chassis component in the press tool can be carried out.
  • the structural or chassis component comprises a shell body produced by the method according to the invention.
  • the shell body has a U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section with a web and two legs, with the ends preferably connected to the legs outwardly directed flanges.
  • a bead extends along the edge of the component. This bead protrudes toward the bridge opposite the flange.
  • To complete the shell body is closed by a strike plate, which is joined at each of the flanges with the shell body. The joining takes place at the flat side of the flanges lying opposite the bead so that flat contact surfaces of the flanges and the striking plate are placed against one another and joined.
  • the beads thus do not present an obstacle during joining, in particular during spot welding.
  • the structure or chassis component according to the invention is highly resilient both statically and dynamically and has a significantly lower susceptibility to crack formation at the component edges.
  • Figure 1 shows a circuit board 1 made of steel or a light metal. This has been separated from a coil and optionally pre-assembled by means of a cutting operation.
  • the circuit board 1 is used to produce a structural or chassis component for motor vehicles.
  • a wavy material storage 6, 7 formed in the manner of a bead.
  • the material stores 6, 7 can be produced when trimming the board 1 in a follower tool.
  • the board 1 provided with the material stores 6, 7 is then converted into a structural or chassis component 9 in a press tool 8, as shown in FIG. 3 (see also FIGS. 4 and 5).
  • the press tool 8 may be a cold forming or a hot forming tool.
  • the pressing tool 8 comprises an upper tool 10 and a lower tool 11, between which a forming space 12 is formed during the forming process.
  • the circuit board 1 is inserted into the press tool and the upper tool 10 and the lower tool 11 are displaced relative to each other ( Figure 3a).
  • a shell body 13 is formed with a U-shaped cross-section, which has a web 14 and two legs 15, 16, to which each end facing outward flanges 17, 18th connect.
  • the material supplies 6, 7 are leveled with material displacement in the direction of the outer edges 4, 5.
  • the edges 2, 3 of the board 1 are each pressed against an abutment 19, 20 in the lower tool 11 of the press tool 8 and formed into a recess 21, 22 in the upper tool 10 of the press tool 8, so that at the edges 2, 3 each have a bead 23, 24 arises.
  • the beads 23, 24 provide defined longitudinal edge areas along the edges 2, 3 on the structural or chassis component 9 safely with low susceptibility to cracking and high dimensional accuracy. Subsequent trimming operations along the edges 2, 3 on the structural or chassis component 9 can be omitted.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a section of the shell body 13 of a structural or chassis component 9 according to the invention.
  • the shell body 13 is closed by a closing plate 25, which in each case lies on the flat side 26, 27 of the flanges 17 opposite the beads 23, 24. 18 is joined to the shell body 13.
  • E1 and E2 are designated in Figures 4 and 5 welding electrodes.
  • E1 and E3 of the shell body 13 and the striking plate 25 ddling the welding electrodes E1 and E3 of the shell body 13 and the striking plate 25 ddling. Due to the fact that the beads 23, 24 are switched in the direction of the web 14 of the shell body 13, these do not constitute an obstacle in spot welding.
