Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for generating overlapping structures in a metal foil section.
- metal foil sections are preferably used for the construction of honeycomb bodies which are used, for example, as exhaust gas treatment components in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines.
- Such components are, for example, filter elements for filtering out particles contained in the exhaust gas, adsorbers for at least temporarily limited storage of pollutants contained in the exhaust gas (eg NO x ), catalytic converters (eg 3-way catalyst, oxidation catalytic converter, Reduction catalyst, etc.), diffusers for influencing the flow or turbulence of the flowing exhaust gas or heating elements that heat the exhaust gas just after the cold start of the internal combustion engine to a desired temperature.
- pollutants contained in the exhaust gas eg NO x
- catalytic converters eg 3-way catalyst, oxidation catalytic converter, Reduction catalyst, etc.
- diffusers for influencing the flow or turbulence of the flowing exhaust gas or heating elements that heat the exhaust gas just after the cold start of the internal combustion engine to a desired temperature.
- the following carrier substrates have proven successful in principle: ceramic honeycomb bodies, extruded honeycomb bodies and honeycomb bodies made of metal foils.
- honeycomb bodies with a plurality of at least partially structured sheets, which are subsequently introduced into a housing and thus form a carrier body which can be provided with one or more of the abovementioned coatings.
- the at least partially structured sheets are arranged in such a way that channels arranged essentially parallel to one another are formed.
- a part of the sheets is provided with a structure, for example, a kind of wave structure, sawtooth structure, rectangular structure, triangular structure, omega structure or the like.
- microstructures which include, for example, guide surfaces, nubs, projections, wings, tabs, holes or the like.
- guide surfaces for example, guide surfaces, nubs, projections, wings, tabs, holes or the like.
- complex channel walls can not be realized or only with very high technical complexity with ceramic material.
- honeycomb body which has substantially parallel channels.
- the object of the present invention is to at least partially alleviate the technical problems described with reference to the prior art.
- a process for the production of such, multi-structured metal foils is to be specified, which ensures the most precise possible alignment of the overlapping structures to each other.
- the process should also meet the requirements of mass production for such metal foils and show a time and cost-saving way.
- a device for producing such metal foils should be specified.
- the metal foils produced by the method or the device should have a particularly precise alignment of the overlapping structures and in particular serve for the production of permanent honeycomb bodies that can be used in the exhaust system of internal combustion engines.
- the method according to the invention for producing superimposed structures in a metal foil section has at least the following steps: a) generating a primary structure with a first tool; b) passing the metal foil portion toward a second tool, the second tool having at least one forming profile roller which causes the metal foil portion to pass; c) generating a secondary structure with the second tool; d) determining a spatial position of primary structure and secondary structure in at least one subregion of the measuring film section; e) detecting a malfunction and adjusting an operating parameter of the at least one profiled roller.
- the production of such structures takes place in a continuous process (or with a frequency greater than 1 feed step per second), wherein the metal foil is unrolled from a reel and fed to the tools.
- a metal foil portion is considered, which is transformed.
- the metal foil section is initially smooth and is supplied to the first tool for producing a primary structure.
- the primary structure is here preferably a microstructure, ie z. B. an embossing or punching, which extends only to a small portion of the metal foil portion and which is provided in particular for influencing the flow of the exhaust gas later in the channel.
- a primary structure can also be a preparatory measure for the later formation of (other or further) microstructures, for example slots, on which subsections of the metal foil are subsequently deformed, in order to form guide surfaces or the like.
- the forwarding of the metal foil section is effected by a profile roller of the second tool.
- the second tool pulls the metal foil section through the first tool.
- devices for clamping and / or guiding the Metal foil portion may also be provided in front of the first tool and / or between the first tool and the second tool, but the feed of the metal foil portion at the desired speed or clock rate is determined via the profile roller.
- the profiled roller In addition to the shaping, that is to say the generation of a secondary structure (step c)), the profiled roller also has a transport function of the metal foil section.
- a force By engaging the profile roller in the secondary structure of the metal foil portion, a force can be introduced parallel to the feed direction of Metallfolienab- section, wherein the rotational speed of the profile roller determines the feed rate of the metal foil portion.
- the spatial position of these superimposed structures is now detected according to step d). It is preferred that respective reference points of the primary structure and the secondary structure are detected and the position of these reference points is evaluated to each other. It is possible that their position in one or more planes (parallel, perpendicular and / or obliquely to the surface of the smooth metal foil portion) is detected to each other.

- the shaping profile of the profiled roller is re-aligned with respect to the distance to the first tool, and the position of the secondary structure in the metal foil section relative to the primary structure is thereby changed.
- a highly dynamic control of the production process of such metal foils with overlapping structures is possible, whereby it is possible to react quickly to material inhomogeneities, external faults or the like automatically.
- the at least one profiled roller is operated at an angular speed, which is changed in step e).
- the profile rolls for producing the secondary structure have hitherto been operated at a constant angular velocity, one revolution of the profile roll optionally being subdivided into a multiplicity of rotational angle sections or increments and being rotated further at predetermined time intervals by a constant number of increments. This procedure is removed here. If a malfunction is detected, a correction is achieved in that either a selected constant number of increments is rotated further in a changed time interval and / or that the number of increments is varied at a constant time interval.
- phases may occur during the process in which there is a constant angular velocity, so that, with regard to a varying angular velocity, a longer temporal phase may possibly be considered (for example 5 minutes).
- step d) is carried out at least once per revolution of the at least one profiled roller. This means that a review of the spatial position of the primary structure and secondary structure takes place at the latest after each revolution of the profile roll. That has the advantage, That this control system is very dynamic and can also respond quickly to disturbances, such as occurring vibration excitations.
- step e) is carried out at least once per revolution of the profile roller. It is possible that the adjustment of the at least one operating parameter of the at least one profile roller is regulated so that after a maximum of one revolution, in particular if only after one revolution step d) is carried out, the deficiency is corrected. However, for an even more dynamic control system, it is advantageous that steps d) and e) be carried out several times per revolution of the profiled roller to effect a correction in less than one revolution of the profiled roller. In the latter case, step d) and e) is preferably carried out at least twice, and in particular at least four times per revolution of the profiled roller.
- the configuration of the secondary structure is changed.
- the shaping sections of the profile rollers continue to interlock and the secondary structure is produced with a greater height.
- a honeycomb body that has the formation of channels with different channel cross-section result, which may be advantageous in certain applications.
- a very precise control of the position of the profile rollers is required.
- step a) comprises punching openings and step c) forming waves in the metal foil section.

- their centers or center lines can be used. In the event that the primary structure is an orifice designed as a slot, then its center line is to be used parallel to the course of the wave crests or wave troughs.
- the maximum permissible positional shift from primary structure to secondary structure is preferably below an absolute value of 0.2 mm, in particular less than 0.1 mm.
- the detection of a malfunction is carried out by means of at least one optical sensor.

- a device is preferred in which the at least one sensor is designed such that it has a variable detection field. This means in particular that the detection field can be positioned variable with respect to the metal foil section. Preferably, this ensures a movement of the detection field in the feed direction or perpendicular to it, wherein this can be realized by translational movements and / or by pivoting the sensor. Thus, large positional shifts (as they may occur, for example, at the start of the manufacturing process or a material change) can be detected.
- the at least one sensor is associated with a measuring roller which positions a metal foil section relative to the at least one sensor.
