Definitions
- the present invention relates to an original method for applying a metal plate to an end of a tubular element, also made of metal, with the aim of closing a head thereof.
- heating radiators which are constituted by a pair of manifolds, arranged vertically, mutually parallel and interconnected by a plurality of conduits, arranged perpendicular at different heights.
- the upper and lower ends of the vertical manifolds are closed by relative plates having profiles which correspond to the section of the manifolds themselves, which are preferably semi-oval.
- the plates can be solid or can afford, in a central zone thereof, a threaded collar for connection of the radiator to the water line of the heating plant.
- a first known method comprises welding the plate to the tubular element, with the drawbacks which this leads to in terms of time and costs for the use of specialised personnel, needed not only for the welding, but also for the following lapping and seal control operations.
- a further known method includes realising, in the edge of the plate: a small step destined to define a rest for the tubular element and for centring, with respect to the tubular element, the plate itself, thanks to its partial insertion in the mouth of the tubular element.
- the result of the operation in particular in relation to the seal, depends on a correct spreading of the paste over the whole contact perimeter.
- PCT/EP2007061948 relating to a "Plate couplable to an opening edge provided in a tubular element, and a method for constraining the plate to the edge.
- the above application relates to a plate internally provided with a first annular channel in which a ring of low-fusion point brazing material is blocked; further annular channels are arrayed spoke-fashion from the first annular channel and extend towards the edge.
- the junction line between the plate and the tubular element is on the flanks thereof; if the fixing is done by welding, the aesthetic result is not appealing even after lapping, while with the heat-welding paste or the ring of fusible material the situation is improved, although the line is still visible as it is highlighted by the subsequent enamelling.
- DE3936251 which represents the preamble of claim 1 discloses a refrigerant receiver for use in motor vehicle air conditioner, which has a tubular body, in which an annular seating is afforded at one of its open ends, the seating being defined by an upper and a lower projection made by means of electromagnetic forming.
- DE3936251 also discloses a bottom closure with an obliquely inclined perimeter which gives the closure a truncoconical conformation, with the peripheral edge of the bottom closure being clamped between the lower and the upper projection.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a method for applying a closing plate to the end of a tubular element, which enables obtaining a mechanically stable joint without the use of any extra material, and which at the same time guarantees an aesthetically improved result with respect to what can be obtained with traditional methods.
- a further aim of the invention relates to the providing of a valid method even where a sealed coupling is to be achieved, by predisposing special operating and/or enactment stages which are similar to those in the prior art.
- a still further aim of the process consists in being defined by simple and rapid actuation stages, which can be realised with constant results, using equipment having contained costs and independently of the ability of the personnel doing the operations.
- a further aim of the invention is to provide a method which can be used both with solid plates and with plates having a threaded central sleeve.
- 1 denotes a metal tubular element, for example a metal tubular element 1 which is of the type used in a thermal radiator for installation in a bathroom, and is applicable to one of the two vertical manifolds, to which reference was made in the preamble hereto.
- the ends of the tubular element 1 are destined to be sealedly closed by metal plates which can be solid, as in a first embodiment denoted by 2, or, in a second embodiment denoted by 20, can afford a sleeve 21 in a central zone thereof, which sleeve 21 is internally threaded for connecting the radiator to the water line of the heating plant ( figure 1 ).
- the method of the present invention concerns stages which involve both the preparation of the end of the tubular element 1 and the realisation of the plate 2, 20 and stages which relate to mutual assembly thereof.
- the preparation of the end of the tubular element consists in realising, in the mouth 10 thereof, an annular seating 12 having a predetermined depth P shaped to define a perimeter rest step 13 in a relative bottom situated internally of the tubular element 1.
- the annular seating 12 is obtained by means of successive operations of cold plastic deformation, in particular:
- annular lip 11 is thus defined externally on the annular seating 12, which lip 11 is slimmer than the border of the tubular element 1 (see also figure 3 ).
- a stage of rounding the edge 110 of the annular lip ( figure 4 ) is included in the preparation of the tubular element 1.
- the realisation of the plate 2, 20 involves shaping it (in plan view) such as to obtain a profile which is complementary to the profile of the annular seating 12 ( figure 1 ), with a cutting action such that the perimeter surfaces 22 which result have an oblique inclination, thus determining a truncoconical conformation of the plate 2, 20 ( figure 2 ), the thickness S of which must be equal to the depth P of the annular seating 12, at least over a certain width of the relative perimeter edge 23.
- the plate 2, 20 is preferably fashioned from a flat metal sheet having a constant thickness S, which is equal to the thickness S of the depth P of the seating 12.
- the stage of realisation includes drawing, perforating and tapping operations, apart from the operations described above.
- Sealing means 30 are associated to the plates 2, 20 of the embodiment, which sealing means 30 are destined to guarantee liquid seal of the coupling between the plates 2, 20 and the tubular element 1; the sealing means 30, not illustrated in detail, are advantageously of the type described in the patent application mentioned herein above, and comprise a ring 31 of low-fusion point brazing material, schematically denoted by broken lines in figure 2 .
- the ring 31 is fixed by friction force to an annular channel 32 (visible in the plate 20 in figure 2 ) connected to other channels developing spoke-fashion towards the edge (not illustrated).
- the stages of the method for application of the plate 2, 20 to the tubular element 1 comprise:
- the method comprises a supplementary stage, using the sealing means 30.
- this stage consists in heating the tubular element-plate assembly to a temperature above the fusion temperature of the ring 31, for a predetermined time, followed by a cooling of the assembly in order to obtain a new solidification of the metal of the ring 31, distributed in the contact zones between the plate 2, 20 and the tubular element 1.
- the sealed coupling between the plate 2, 20 and the tubular element 1 can obviously be realised, alternatively to what has been described, by a bead of heat-welding paste, mentioned in the preamble, distribution, in preparation, between the contact zones.
- the plate is unremovably fixed merely by mechanical action, entirely contrary to all the known solutions, thanks to the snug fit created by the profiling of the annular lip of the tubular element.
- the conformation of the seating, and consequently the plate locates the joint line between the two parts in the head of the tubular element, thus in a much less visible zone than on the flank; this leads to obvious benefits from the overall aesthetic point of view.
- joint line lies on a plane, so that any lapping or sanding operations which might be desired to further reduce the visibility of the line are evidently very simple and effective.
- the described method enables easily obtaining couplings with or without seal, according to needs.
- the need to realise the step in the edge of the plate is eliminated and, consequently, the plate can be slimmer; by way of example, metal sheeting of 2 mm thickness can be used instead of the 3.5 mm thickness required for prior-art plates.
- the proposed method is advantageous, in general, for all cases in which the application of a metal plate for closing the head of a metal tube is required; in the particular technical sector of the described example, the fact that all the coupling stages of the plate are the same both when the plate is solid and when it is provided with a threaded central sleeve is much appreciated.
