Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for expanding elongated, moving in the longitudinal direction, at least partially flat metal elements.
  • flat metal elements as described in the German patent application 102 59 307.8 described are widened.
  • the flat metal elements described in this prepublished German patent application are used, for example, for the production of profile elements, in particular of upright or plaster profiles.
  • the metal elements have incisions in their central region which are shaped in such a way that when the metal elements are pulled apart between the incisions, metal regions present are folded over so that the metal element is ultimately widened.
  • the pattern required for the folding process can be of various kinds. A variety of such different patterns are in the German patent application 102 59 307.8 described and in particular in the Fig. 1-22 represented this application.
  • the metal elements are at least in the region of the pattern formed flat. In other areas, for example, in the area of the longitudinal sides of the metal elements, the metal elements may also differ from the flat shape. In particular, thickenings, projections or bent regions can be formed on the longitudinal sides. For example, the metal elements may already be preformed as U-shaped or C-shaped profiles.
  • attack elements in the form of deep shapes are formed on the longitudinal sides of a metal element in a pre-processing step, which are engaged behind by corresponding holding elements in a later step when the metal element is pulled apart.
  • the device or the method should be used in continuous operation.
  • this object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the features of claim 17.
  • the opposing clamping portions thus form between them an expansion area for the metal element, in which the distance between the opposing clamping portions increases. In the widening area, the widening of the metal element takes place Increasing the lateral distance between the opposing clamping portions, which each pull apart the opposite longitudinal sides of the metal element.
  • the device according to the invention is very robust due to its simple structure and thus suitable for high throughput. Furthermore, it is achieved by the clamping sections that the widening of the moving metal element can take place in continuous operation, so that the required throughput is ensured. In principle, however, it is also possible for the widening to occur in intermittent operation, for example also in a follow-on composite tool. For the purposes of the present application, it is thus not absolutely necessary for the metal element to move forward simultaneously with the widening. For example, the forward movement of the metal element in the intermittent operation comprises repetitive stoppage phases in which the expansion can take place.
  • the widening during a standstill phase during intermittent operation is therefore also to be understood as widening during the forward movement, since the individual standstill phases also represent parts of the entire forward movement of the metal element.
  • the forward movement in this case comprises the feeding, the stoppage phase during which the metal element is widened, and the removal of the metal element.
  • the longitudinal sides of the metal element need not have folds or other attack elements, in the example, pulling elements for pulling apart the Intervene metal element.
  • the longitudinal sides of the metal element By clamping in accordance with the invention the longitudinal sides of the metal element, the longitudinal sides can be made completely smooth, whereby the possible applications of the expanded metal elements are very wide and expensive and associated with additional costs pretreatments of the metal element can be omitted for generating attack points.
  • the clamping portions may be formed so that already a free longitudinal strip of 0.5 to 5mm (for example, about 1, 1.5, 2 or 3mm) on both longitudinal sides of the metal element is sufficient to clamp each of these in the clamping portions and the metal element apart to draw.
  • the clamping portions each comprise a contact area and a clamping area, wherein the longitudinal sides of the metal element between the contact area and the clamping area can be clamped.
  • the clamping area can advantageously be formed by an eccentric.
  • the formation of the clamping area by an eccentric makes the entire device very robust and easy at the same time, since the eccentric can be mounted on a bearing portion of the clamping portion, that automatically increases the clamping force generated by the eccentric in the movement apart of the clamping portions. The higher the force acting on the metal element when moving apart, the more firmly the metal element is clamped in the clamping section.
  • the clamping area can be prestressed by spring bias against the contact area. It can be used any suitable type of springs, such as coil springs, gas springs or other springs. Also, a hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, magnetic or other mechanical bias of the clamping area against the investment area and another suitable preload are conceivable in principle. Such a bias is also useful in conjunction with an eccentric design of the clamping area when the eccentric by the bias, for example, when detecting the metal element does not yet develop the full clamping force. Due to the bias of the eccentric can be automatically brought so far in the clamping position that ultimately the holding of the metal element is achieved solely due to the clamping force.
  • the clamping portions each comprise a plurality of clamping elements.
  • the course of the expansion of the metal element can be adjusted in a simple manner.
  • a control section in particular in the form of a slotted guide, is provided, with which the clamping elements are automatically brought from a release position into a clamping position when moving the metal element.
  • a further control section may be provided with which the clamping elements are automatically brought back from the clamping position to the release position after expansion of the metal element during further movement of the metal element. After release of the metal element, the clamping elements can remain in their release position or brought back into the clamping position, but without clamped metal element. Only just before the clamping elements come into contact again with the metal element, it must be ensured that the clamping elements are in the release position. It can be reached again by appropriate control sections.
  • control sections designed to move the clamping elements into the clamping position can be designed to be movable so that different positions of the clamping elements, which are generated, for example, by different thicknesses of the metal element or by differential penetration of the metal elements into the clamping elements, can be compensated.
  • the control sections may be mounted, for example, hydraulically or movable against a spring force.
  • the carrier unit is in each case designed as a revolving carrier unit, in particular as an endless, circulating carrier unit.
  • the design of the carrier unit as a peripheral carrier unit ensures that a metal element of any length can be widened with the device according to the invention.
  • At least two circumferential support units are arranged on each longitudinal side of the metal element, wherein each longitudinal side of the metal element is clamped in each case between at least two support units.
  • each longitudinal side of the metal element is clamped, for example, between a carrier unit arranged above and below the metal element.
  • the clamping sections can thus preferably be formed integrally with the carrier unit. In principle, however, a separate design of the clamping sections is possible.
  • At least one circumferential carrier unit is arranged on each longitudinal side of the metal element, wherein each longitudinal side of the metal element in each case in the provided on the rotating carrier units clamping portions is trapped.
  • the longitudinal sides of the metal element are thus not clamped between two different carrier units, but each longitudinal side is clamped in each case in clamping sections, which are arranged, for example, laterally of the metal elements along the longitudinal sides running on carrier units.
  • the carrier units are designed as caterpillar conveyors.
  • This can for example be designed as a caterpillar track.
  • a training as a band, as a belt or other suitable in particular for clamping peripheral carrier unit is conceivable.
  • an inlet region for the metal element in which the opposing clamping sections have a constant distance from each other substantially, wherein adjoining the inlet region an expansion region, in which the distance between the opposing clamping portions increases. Due to the constant spacing of the clamping sections in the inlet region, it is ensured that the metal element can first be securely gripped by the clamping sections without any other forces, in particular in the lateral expansion direction, acting on the metal element. Only after the metal element has been securely gripped by the clamping sections after passing through the lead-in area does the widening of the metal element take place by increasing the lateral distance between the opposite clamping sections, which pull apart the opposite longitudinal sides of the metal element. Preferably, the distance of the opposing clamping portions in the expansion region increases substantially continuously, so that a continuous stress of the metal element is ensured, which leads to a uniform expansion of the metal element.
  • the carrier units are designed as mutually inclined, rotating disks, tires or wheels.
  • the clamping sections can in each case in the outer edge region of the rotating discs; Tire or wheels are formed.
  • the abutment portions of the clamping portions may be formed by the peripheral surfaces of the rotating disks, tires or wheels.
  • the expansion of the metal element by the angular position of the rotating disks, tires or wheels by the metal element is clamped in the region of the inclined edge portions of the support units by the clamping portions, is pulled apart by the diverging peripheral surfaces of the rotating support units and of the Clamping sections is released again before the maximum distance between the mutually inclined rotating carrier units is exceeded.
  • Fig. 1 shows a section of a flat metal element 1, which is provided along its longitudinal axis 2 with a plurality of U-shaped, intersecting cuts 3.
  • the in Fig. 1 shown section is significantly shortened compared to the actual length of the metal element 1 is formed.
  • the metal element 1 forms a long metal strip, which may for example have a length of several 100 m.
  • the metal element 1 is already in the German patent application 102 59 307.8 which is explicitly referred to.
  • the cuts 3 are arranged so that the in Fig. 1 Halves 4, 5 of the metal element 1 shown above or below the sections 3 can be pulled apart perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis 2, so that a resulting metal element with an increased width is produced.
  • a corresponding folding process is in the Fig. 3 to 5 shown in detail.
  • Other possible patterns are in Fig. 2 shown by way of example.
  • widened metal elements can be used, for example, for the production of profiles, as used, for example, as edge protection (US Pat. Fig. 6 ) or as stand profiles for drywall ( Fig. 7 ), eg in the form of U and C profiles.
  • Fig. 8 schematically shows an elongated, flat metal element 11, which moves according to an arrow 12 along its longitudinal axis 14.
  • the metal element 11 is cut according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 or provided with any other suitable pattern, which is included in Fig. 8 as well as not shown in the further figures for reasons of clarity. In the upper area of the Fig. 8 the metal element 11 has its original width, as it exists before the expansion.
  • illustrated device 13 for expanding the metal element 11 comprises two substantially identically formed, arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal axis 14 of the metal element 11 crawler 15.
  • Each crawler conveyor 15 comprises a plurality of conveyor members 16, for example, via a in the Fig. 8 not shown chain are connected together.
  • the caterpillar conveyors 15 are designed as endless crawler conveyors and are guided according to arrows 17 rotatable about guide rollers 18. Depending on the design, two or more deflection rollers can be provided.
  • the guide rollers 18 may be driven or only rotate freely about their respective axes.
  • clamping elements 19 are arranged, which move together with the conveyor members 16 in the direction of arrow 17.
  • the caterpillar conveyors 15 thus form carrier units for the clamping elements 19, while in each case the clamping elements 19 provided on a caterpillar conveyor form a clamping section of this crawler conveyor.
  • the two caterpillar conveyors 15 are arranged so that an inlet region 20 and an adjoining widening region 21 are formed.
  • clamping elements 19, which are opposite each other and face the longitudinal axis 14 of the metal element 11, have the same distance from one another, which corresponds approximately to the width of the metal element 11, which has not yet expanded.
  • the distance of opposing clamping elements 19 increases continuously, as it out Fig. 8 can be seen.
  • the inlet region 20 is not absolutely necessary, so that, for example, the middle Deflection rollers 18 can be omitted in each case and the widening region 21 extends over the entire length of the caterpillar conveyors 15.
  • metal element 11 shown is arranged in the inlet region 20 between the two caterpillar conveyor 15, that the two longitudinal sides 22, 23 of the metal element 11 engage in the clamping elements 19 and are held by these.
  • the metal element 11 is widened by the apart clamping elements 19 according to arrows 24 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 14 until it has the desired width at the outlet end of the widening region 21.
  • the metal element can be rolled or pressed flat, for example in a rolling process, whereby it reaches its final width and the folding points generated in the metal element during widening are equalized. In principle, this can also be done by any other suitable pressing method (for example in a lifting press).
  • Both the retention of the longitudinal sides 22, 23 of the metal element at the beginning of the inlet region 20 as well as the release of the widened metal element at the end of the Aüfweit Symposiums 21 is effected by unillustrated control sections, which cause an automatic closing or opening of the clamping elements 19.

  • the corresponding control sections can be formed by sliding guides, which are provided before and at the beginning of the inlet region 20 or at the end of the widening region 21 and with the Clamping elements 19 cooperate in a corresponding manner. In principle, the control could also take place, for example, by limit switches or in another suitable manner. If the inlet area 20 is omitted, then the input-side control sections can be provided correspondingly at the entrance of the widening area 21.
  • the caterpillar conveyors 15 form support units for the clamping elements 19 and cause by their in Fig. 8 form shown in the expansion region 21 a movement apart of the clamping elements 19, which in turn leads to a widening of the metal element 11.
