Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rounding or bending machine, by means of which at least one square or rounded and simultaneously tapered hollow body or the like workpiece from a material blank is malleable, wherein the round or bending machine has at least one tapered roller and at least one counter-element between which the material blank is deforming pressure-sensitive and of which at least the at least one counter-element has an elastic surface.
  • exhaust pipes of modern motor vehicles often have an exhaust tail, which is not only round or oval, but also increase conically expanded.
  • comparable hollow body are required, which are square, round or conical and tapered at the same time, here under a round or rounded cross-section and an oval or triovaler cross-section and under a polygonal cross-section, for example should also be understood a rectangular or polygonal cross-section.
  • Such angular or round and tapered workpieces can be produced only with considerable effort.
  • bending rolls which have a steel upper roll and a lower roll with an elastically resilient surface of polyurethane plastic, between which a sheet metal blank can be deformed simultaneously round and conical, the rounding of the workpiece by the pressing force and the diameter of the upper roll on the lower roller is regulated.
  • the bottom roller can be divided into individual, independently rotatable roller sections. Since the lower roller is designed according to many parts and complicated, and since the rollers of the known bending machines must have a correspondingly large minimum roll diameter, only large workpieces can be produced in these prior art devices.
  • the solution to this problem is in the rounding or bending machine of the type mentioned in particular that the round or bending machine designed as a bending table and the material blank supporting counter-element that the at least one roller on the bending table arranged deformable pressure and pressurized the bending table is movable in the longitudinal direction and rotatably guided about an axis of rotation and the at least one roller is movable transversely to the longitudinal direction such that the change in the relative position of the roller and the axis of rotation of the bending table caused by a rotational movement of the bending table can be compensated.
  • the rounding or bending machine has a cooperating with at least one roller counter element, which is designed as a bending table and embossing the material blank.
  • the roller can pressurize the arranged on the bending table material blank deformation.
  • the bending table is movable in the longitudinal direction and rotatably guided about an axis of rotation, while the roller is movable so that caused by a rotational movement of the bending table change in the relative position of top roller and axis of rotation of the bending table is compensated.
  • a small-format workpiece can now also be angular or round and at the same time conically shaped.
  • the taper of the roller can be compensated by rotational movements of the bending table and corresponding feed movements of the roller in the axial direction, without the need for a subdivided into separate roller sections roller. Since the rounding or bending machine according to the invention does not require such a subdivided roll, the at least one roll of the rounding or bending machine according to the invention can also have a comparatively small minimum roll diameter and accordingly form small radii.
  • the bending table can be moved and stored rotatable and yet can absorb high deformation and contact forces, it is expedient if the bending table has a first and a second, the material blank supporting table element which are rotatable relative to each other.
  • the rounding or bending machine has a roller with an unyielding and preferably steel roller surface, while the second table element has an elastically yielding support surface for the material blank.
  • the support surface is made by a plate made of elastic rubber or plastic.
  • the material blank can be fixed or fixable in its position on the bending table.
  • An embodiment according to the invention provides that fixing pins or the like fixing elements are provided for fixing or fixing the material blank, which attack with its over the bending table projecting end portion of the outline contour of the material blank and are retractable against a restoring force in the bending table.
  • the material blank is arranged in a recess of the bending table, and if the edge region of the bending table bounding the recess for fixing or fixing the material blank at least partially abuts against its outer contour. In this case, the material blank can be fixed immovably and safely on the bending table when the material blank has a complementary outer contour to the recess.
  • the at least one roller and the bending table can be delivered relative to one another. It can u. a. be varied by a different contact pressure between the roller and bending table, the radius of the deformation caused on the material blank.
  • the roller is held exchangeably in the lap or bending machine, and if the lap or bending machine is assigned at least two differently shaped rollers. It is particularly expedient if the rounding or bending machine is assigned at least two rollers of different lengths and / or at least one cylindrical and at least one conical roller. With comparatively short rolls, correspondingly small bending radii can be formed in the workpiece. While cylindrical or rounded workpieces can be formed with a straight roll, a conical roll is used to form angular or rounded and conical workpieces.
  • the versatile applicability of the rounding or bending machine according to the invention is further increased if the rounding or bending machine are assigned at least two bending tables and in particular at least two second table elements of different width, which can be mounted optionally in the rounding or bending machine.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 (2 a, 2 b) a rounding or bending machine 1 is shown, which is used to deform or bend u. a. Also an angular or rounded and tapered workpiece simultaneously from a material blank and in particular of a metal sheet is used.
  • the rounding or bending machine 1 has a tapered roller 2 with an unyielding and preferably steel surface.
  • the roller 2 cooperates with a counter-element, which is designed as a material blank supporting the bending table 3.
  • the bending table 3 is deliverable in the direction of the double arrow Z1, 2 to the roller 2, that between bending table 3 and roller 2 of the - not shown here - material blank is deforming druckbeetzschlagbar.
  • the bending table 3 has an elastic surface which is configured as an elastically yielding support surface 4 for the material blank.
  • This support surface 4 is characterized by a plate of elastic rubber or plastic and in particular made of PUR plastic.
  • a small-sized workpiece can now be square or round and at the same time conically shaped if required.
  • the taper of the roller 2 can be compensated by rotational movements of the bending table 3 and corresponding feed movements of the roller 2 in the axial direction, without the need for a subdivided into separate roller sections roller. Since the rounding or bending machine shown here requires no such subdivided roller, the at least one roller 2 of the rounding or bending machine shown here can also have a comparatively small minimum roller diameter and accordingly form small radii.
  • the bending table 3 For rotating the material blank located on the bending table 3, the bending table 3 has a first table element 6 and a second table element 7, which are rotatable about the axis of rotation 5 relative to each other.
  • Drive means 8, 9 For moving the bending table 3 engages on both sides of the second table element in each case Drive means 8, 9 at.
  • the drive means 8, 9 acting on the second table element 7 and preferably designed as a coaxial drive belt can be driven or moved at different travel speeds.
  • the material blank can be fixed or fixed on the bending table 3 in its position.
  • the material blank is arranged in a recess of the bending table 3 and preferably its support surface 4, wherein the edge of the bending table 3 bounding the recess for fixing or fixing the material blank at least partially abuts against its outer contour. It is particularly advantageous if the material blank has a complementary outer contour to the recess.
  • the roller 2 is held replaceably in the lap or bending machine 1, and if the lap or bending machine has at least two differently shaped rollers 2 are assigned.
  • the rounding or bending machine 1 is expediently assigned at least two rolls of different lengths and / or at least one cylindrical roll and at least one conical roll 2. With comparatively short rollers 2 small bending radii can accordingly be formed in the workpiece. While 2 cylindrical or rounded workpieces can be formed with a straight roll, a conical roll 2 is used for forming angular or rounded and at the same time conical workpieces.
