- the mandrel in a direction perpendicular to the wire feed direction plane both in the top-bottom, as well as in the front-back is movable, and by the use of a in two mutually and each to the wire feed direction movable directions forming tool ( "3D -Windefinger " ) is in addition to the winds and the bending of the wire in any direction (top-bottom, front-back) feasible.
- the production of bent forward legs can be done without the use of additional tool units or tool shifters.
- the possibility of producing high-precision springs with high unit performance in the 2-finger wind method is maintained.

- the exchange of the forming unit, the dome unit and possibly the cutting blade and the wire guide can increase the overall product range producible on the machine quite considerably.
- the economic benefits achieved by the invention are particularly remarkable.
- the wire guide channel is most preferably formed in the form of a guide groove, which, again preferably, has a groove depth which corresponds at least to the diameter of the supplied wire, so that it does not protrude from it as it passes through the guide groove.
- This offers the possibility of executing the wire feed channel also with a closed cross-section, which can be opened to form the opening for inserting the wire in a suitable manner.
- the wire guide channel in the form of a guide groove with a non-closed, but unilaterally open cross-section formed, it is particularly advantageous if the guide groove on its side facing away from the machine frame side legs extending from one end perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane of the wire guide channel and parallel to the wire feed direction plane boundary wall is connected to the outer side wall of the dome, wherein preferably this planar boundary wall, perpendicular to the wire feed direction, has a width which is greater than the wire diameter.

- the possibility is created to form the opening for inserting the wire in the wire guide channel only if the wire from the wire guide channel out or in this is to be introduced, but otherwise by juxtaposing the two mandrel sections for Wire guide to have a closed channel cross-section, which is often preferable to the open configuration of the wire guide channel in the context of a one-sided always open guide.
- a preferred embodiment is also the two mandrel sections about a common hinge pivot each other and form scissor-shaped hinged, so that the creation of the opening for insertion (or lead out of the wire), the two mandrel sections can be opened and thus the desired access to the wire guide channel is created. After the insertion or removal of the wire, however, the two mandrel sections are closed again and thus again a closed wire guide channel is reached.
- both mandrel sections for receiving the open position while maintaining their orientation, thus aligned parallel to each other, are movable apart.
- a further preferred embodiment of the spring manufacturing machine according to the invention also consists in that the mandrel additionally a circular arc-shaped bending surface is formed to the bending system of the supplied wire whose axis of curvature is perpendicular to the feed direction of the wire, wherein, preferably, the bending surface in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane of the wire guide channel attached to the spine.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Federherstellungsmaschine mit einem Maschinengestell, auf dem ein Drahteinzug und eine Drahtführung zur Zuführung eines Drahtes in einer Zuführrichtung, ferner ein der Drahtführung nachgeschalteter, senkrecht zum zugeführten Draht sowohl in Höhenrichtung, als auch in Richtung senkrecht zum Maschinengestell verfahrbarer Dorn und nach diesem ein parallel zur Drahtzuführrichtung sowie in zwei zueinander und jeweils zur Drahtzuführrichtung senkrechten Richtungen verfahrbares Umformwerkzeug angebracht sind.The invention relates to a spring manufacturing machine with a machine frame on which a wire intake and a wire guide for feeding a wire in a feed direction, further downstream of the wire guide, perpendicular to the supplied wire both in the height direction and in the direction perpendicular to the machine frame movable mandrel and according to this a parallel to the wire feed direction as well as in two mutually and in each case to the wire feed direction movable directions movable forming tool are mounted.
Zur Herstellung von Druckfedern sind unterschiedliche Arten von entsprechenden Maschinen bekannt. Dabei unterscheidet man im wesentlichen zwischen Federherstellungsmaschinen mit 1-Finger-System, d. h. ein bewegbarer Windefinger formt den Draht zu einer Feder, und Maschinen mit 2-Finger-System (zwei bewegbare Windefinger formen den Draht zu einer Feder).For the production of compression springs different types of corresponding machines are known. A distinction is essentially between spring manufacturing machines with 1-finger system, d. H. a movable wind finger shapes the wire into a spring, and machines with a 2-finger system (two movable wind fingers form the wire into a spring).
Unter diesen bekannten Maschinen sind die mit dem 1-Finger-System besonders flexibel einsetzbar und können ein großes Spektrum an Federformen abdecken. Allerdings ist die Genauigkeit der von solchen Maschinen hergestellten Federn wie auch die Stückleistung der Maschinen selbst gegenüber den 2-Finger-System-Maschinen meist schlechter.Among these known machines, those with the 1-finger system are particularly flexible and can cover a wide range of spring shapes. However, the accuracy of the springs produced by such machines as well as the performance of the machine itself is usually worse than the 2-finger system machines.
Die Maschinen mit 2-Finger-System eignen sich wiederum nur für die Herstellung reiner Schraubenfedern ohne abgewinkelte Schenkel, da der Draht nach einmaligem Anfahren stets in den Drahtführungsrillen der Windefinger positioniert bleibt. Mit dem 2-Finger-System können größere Stückzahlen und genauere Federgeometrien als mit dem 1-Finger-System hergestellt werden.The machines with 2-finger system are in turn suitable only for the production of pure coil springs without angled legs, since the wire always remains positioned after a single start in the wire guide grooves of the wind finger. With the 2-finger system, larger quantities and more accurate spring geometries than with the 1-finger system can be produced.

Es ist noch eine Vielzahl von Federherstellungsmaschinen, die im 1-Finger-System arbeiten, bekannt, bei denen das Umformwerkzeug in unterschiedlicher Weise betätigt und bewegt wird (
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Federwindemaschine, die normalerweise im 2-Finger-System nur zur Herstellung reiner Schraubenfedern (Druckfedern) geeignet ist, so zu verbessern, daß sie auch zur Herstellung einfacher Schenkelfedern im 1-Finger-System eingesetzt werden kann.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to improve a spring coiling machine, which is normally suitable only in the 2-finger system for producing pure coil springs (compression springs), so that they are also used for the production of simple leg springs in 1-finger system can.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer Federherstellungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, daß der Dorn einen Drahtführungskanal aufweist, der im Dorn in einem Abstand von dessen dem Maschinengestell abgewandter äußeren Seitenwand ausgebildet ist, durch den der zugeführte Draht durch den Dorn zum Umformwerkzeug geführt wird, und daß der Dorn ferner eine Öffnung zum Einführen des Drahtes in den Drahtführungskanal umfaßt.According to the invention this is achieved in a spring manufacturing machine of the type mentioned above in that the mandrel has a wire guide channel which is formed in the mandrel at a distance from the machine frame facing away from the outer side wall, through which the wire is fed through the mandrel to the forming tool, and the mandrel further comprises an opening for insertion of the wire into the wire guide channel.
Dadurch, daß bei der Erfindung der Dorn in einer zur Drahtvorschubrichtung senkrechten Ebene sowohl in Richtung oben-unten, wie auch in Richtung vorne-hinten verfahrbar ist, und durch den Einsatz eines in zwei zueinander und jeweils zur Drahtzuführrichtung senkrechten Richtungen verfahrbares Umformwerkzeug ("3D-Windefinger") wird neben dem Winden auch das Biegen des Drahtes in jede beliebige Richtung (oben-unten, vorne-hinten) durchführbar. Damit wird die Herstellung von Schenkelfedern mit nahezu beliebigen Schenkelstellungen und Schenkelformen möglich. Auch die Herstellung von nach vorne abgebogenen Schenkeln kann ohne den Einsatz zusätzlicher Werkzeugeinheiten oder Werkzeugschiebern erfolgen. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Möglichkeit zur Herstellung hochpräziser Federn mit großer Stückleistung im 2-Finger-Windeverfahren erhalten.Characterized in that in the invention, the mandrel in a direction perpendicular to the wire feed direction plane both in the top-bottom, as well as in the front-back is movable, and by the use of a in two mutually and each to the wire feed direction movable directions forming tool ( "3D -Windefinger " ) is in addition to the winds and the bending of the wire in any direction (top-bottom, front-back) feasible. Thus, the production of leg springs with almost any leg positions and Leg shapes possible. Also, the production of bent forward legs can be done without the use of additional tool units or tool shifters. At the same time, the possibility of producing high-precision springs with high unit performance in the 2-finger wind method is maintained.
Durch die Erfindung kann eine konventionelle Federwindemaschine, die nach dem 2-Finger-System arbeitet, unkompliziert auf das 1-Finger-System umgerüstet werden. Dabei läßt sich durch den Austausch der Umformeinheit, der Domeinheit und ggf. der Schneidmesser sowie der Drahtführung das auf der Maschine herstellbare Produktspektrum insgesamt ganz erheblich vergrößern. Der durch die Erfindung erreichte wirtschaftliche Nutzen ist besonders bemerkenswert.By the invention, a conventional spring coiling machine, which operates on the 2-finger system, can be easily converted to the 1-finger system. The exchange of the forming unit, the dome unit and possibly the cutting blade and the wire guide can increase the overall product range producible on the machine quite considerably. The economic benefits achieved by the invention are particularly remarkable.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Federherstellungsmaschine wird ganz besonders bevorzugt der Drahtführungskanal in Form einer Führungsnut ausgebildet, die, erneut bevorzugt, eine Nuttiefe hat, die mindestens dem Durchmesser des zugeführten Drahtes entspricht, so daß dieser beim Durchlauf durch die Führungsnut nicht aus ihr herausragt. Dies bietet die Möglichkeit, den Drahtzuführungskanal auch mit einem geschlossenen Querschnitt auszuführen, der zur Ausbildung der Öffnung zum Einführen des Drahtes in geeigneter Weise geöffnet werden kann.In the spring manufacturing machine according to the invention, the wire guide channel is most preferably formed in the form of a guide groove, which, again preferably, has a groove depth which corresponds at least to the diameter of the supplied wire, so that it does not protrude from it as it passes through the guide groove. This offers the possibility of executing the wire feed channel also with a closed cross-section, which can be opened to form the opening for inserting the wire in a suitable manner.
Ist der Drahtführungskanal in Form einer Führungsnut mit einem nicht geschlossenem, sondern einseitig geöffnetem Querschnitt, ausgebildet, ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn die Führungsnut an ihrem vom Maschinengestell abgewandten Seitenschenkel über eine von dessen Ende aus senkrecht zur Längsmittelebene des Drahtführungskanals und parallel zur Drahtzuführrichtung verlaufende ebene Begrenzungswand mit der äußeren Seitenwand des Domes verbunden ist, wobei vorzugsweise diese ebene Begrenzungswand, senkrecht zur Drahtzuführrichtung, eine Breite aufweist, die größer als der Drahtdurchmesser ist.If the wire guide channel in the form of a guide groove with a non-closed, but unilaterally open cross-section formed, it is particularly advantageous if the guide groove on its side facing away from the machine frame side legs extending from one end perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane of the wire guide channel and parallel to the wire feed direction plane boundary wall is connected to the outer side wall of the dome, wherein preferably this planar boundary wall, perpendicular to the wire feed direction, has a width which is greater than the wire diameter.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht auch darin, daß die Öffnung zum Einführen des Drahtes in den Drahtführungskanal direkt neben der Begrenzungswand verläuft und sich über die gesamte Länge des Domes in Drahtzuführrichtung hinweg erstreckt. Bevorzugt weist dabei diese Öffnung senkrecht zur ebenen Begrenzungswand eine Öffnungsweite auf, die dem Drahtdurchmesser entspricht oder geringfügig größer als dieser ist, so daß von der Außenseite her ein leichtes Durchführen des Drahtes durch die Öffnung und dessen Einführen in den Drahtführungskanal unschwer möglich ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention also consists in that the opening for inserting the wire into the wire guide channel runs directly next to the boundary wall and extends over the entire length of the dome in the wire feed direction. Preferably, this opening has an opening perpendicular to the plane boundary wall, which corresponds to the wire diameter or slightly larger than this, so that from the outside easy passage of the wire through the opening and its insertion into the wire guide channel is easily possible.
Vorteilhafterweise wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Federherstellungsmaschine für den Fall, daß der Drahtführungskanal als Führungsnut ausgebildet ist, deren Ausgestaltung so vorgenommen, daß die Längsmittelebene der Führungsnut senkrecht zur ebenen Begrenzungswand verläuft.Advantageously, in the spring manufacturing machine according to the invention for the case that the wire guide channel is formed as a guide, whose configuration so made that the longitudinal center plane of the guide extends perpendicular to the flat boundary wall.
In einer anderen, vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Federherstellungsmaschine ist der Dorn zweiteilig aufgebaut und umfaßt einen oberen sowie einen unteren Dornabschnitt. Bevorzugt sind dabei beide Dornabschnitte zur Schaffung der Öffnung zum Einführen des Drahtes in den Drahtführungskanal aus einer geschlossenen Stellung, in welcher der in einem der beiden Dornabschnitte ausgebildete und zur Trennfläche zwischen beiden Dornabschnitten hin offene Drahtführungskanal vom anderen Dornabschnitt vollständig überdeckt und verschlossen ist, in eine geöffnete Stellung verbringbar, in welcher der Drahtführungskanal geöffnet ist und die Öffnung zum Einführen des Drahtes in ihn zwischen beiden Dornabschnitten ausgebildet wird. Bei dieser erfindungsgemäßen zweiteiligen Ausgestaltung des Domes in zwei Dornabschnitte ist die Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Öffnung zum Einlegen des Drahtes in den Drahtführungskanal nur dann auszubilden, wenn der Draht aus dem Drahtführungskanal heraus oder in diesen eingeführt werden soll, ansonsten aber durch Aufeinanderlegen beider Dornabschnitte für die Drahtführung einen geschlossenen Kanalquerschnitt zu haben, was der offenen Ausgestaltung des Drahtführungskanals im Rahmen einer einseitig stets offenen Führungsnut vielfach vorzuziehen ist.In another advantageous embodiment of the spring manufacturing machine according to the invention, the mandrel is constructed in two parts and comprises an upper and a lower mandrel section. Both mandrel sections for creating the opening for inserting the wire into the wire guide channel are preferred from a closed position in which the wire guide channel formed in one of the two mandrel sections and open towards the parting surface between the two mandrel sections is completely covered and closed by the other mandrel section opened position in which the wire guide channel is opened and the opening for inserting the wire is formed in it between two mandrel portions. In this two-part embodiment of the dome according to the invention in two mandrel sections, the possibility is created to form the opening for inserting the wire in the wire guide channel only if the wire from the wire guide channel out or in this is to be introduced, but otherwise by juxtaposing the two mandrel sections for Wire guide to have a closed channel cross-section, which is often preferable to the open configuration of the wire guide channel in the context of a one-sided always open guide.
Bei dieser zweiteiligen Ausgestaltung des Domes besteht eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung auch darin, die beiden Dornabschnitte um eine gemeinsame Gelenkstelle zueinander verschwenkbar und dabei scherenförmig aufklappbar auszubilden, so daß zur Schaffung der Öffnung zum Einführen (oder Herausführen des Drahtes) die beiden Dornabschnitte aufgeklappt werden können und damit der gewünschte Zugang zum Drahtführungskanal geschaffen ist. Nach erfolgtem Einlegen oder Herausführen des Drahtes werden jedoch die beiden Dornabschnitte wieder verschlossen und damit wieder ein geschlossener Drahtführungskanal erreicht.In this two-part design of the dome, a preferred embodiment is also the two mandrel sections about a common hinge pivot each other and form scissor-shaped hinged, so that the creation of the opening for insertion (or lead out of the wire), the two mandrel sections can be opened and thus the desired access to the wire guide channel is created. After the insertion or removal of the wire, however, the two mandrel sections are closed again and thus again a closed wire guide channel is reached.
Eine andere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung bei der zweiteiligen Ausbildung des Domes besteht aber auch darin, daß beide Dornabschnitte zur Einnahme der geöffneten Stellung unter Beibehaltung ihrer Ausrichtung, somit parallel zueinander ausgerichtet, auseinander bewegbar sind.However, another preferred embodiment in the two-part design of the dome is also that both mandrel sections for receiving the open position while maintaining their orientation, thus aligned parallel to each other, are movable apart.
Vorteilhaft ist bei der zweiteiligen Ausbildung des Domes ferner auch noch, wenn der Domabschnitt, in dem der Drahtführungskanal in Form einer Führungsnut ausgebildet ist, in der geschlossenen Stellung des Domes an dessen Außenseite von einer vom anderen Dornabschnitt vorragenden Nase überdeckt wird, die in der geschlossenen Stellung gegen die äußere Begrenzungsfläche des den Drahtführungskanal enthaltenden Domabschnittes, letzteren überdeckend, flächig anliegt. Dadurch wird eine erhöhte Steifigkeit beim Biegen nach vorne geschaffen.It is also advantageous in the two-part design of the dome even if the dome portion, in which the wire guide channel is formed in the form of a guide groove is covered in the closed position of the dome on the outside of a protruding from the other mandrel portion nose in the closed Position against the outer boundary surface of the wire guide channel containing Domabschnittes, the latter overlapping, areally applied. This creates an increased stiffness when bending forward.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Federherstellungsmaschine besteht auch darin, daß am Dorn zusätzlich eine kreisbogenförmige Biegefläche zur Biegeanlage des zugeführten Drahtes ausgebildet ist, deren Krümmungsachse senkrecht zur Zuführrichtung des Drahtes liegt, wobei, bevorzugt, die Biegefläche in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Längsmittelebene des Drahtführungskanals versetzt am Dorn angebracht ist. Dabei wird vorteilhafterweise die Krümmungsachse der Biegefläche so gelegt, daß sie entweder senkrecht oder parallel zur Längsmittelebene des Drahtführungskanals liegt.A further preferred embodiment of the spring manufacturing machine according to the invention also consists in that the mandrel additionally a circular arc-shaped bending surface is formed to the bending system of the supplied wire whose axis of curvature is perpendicular to the feed direction of the wire, wherein, preferably, the bending surface in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane of the wire guide channel attached to the spine. The bending axis of the bending surface is advantageously placed so that it is either perpendicular or parallel to the longitudinal center plane of the wire guide channel.
Eine ganz besonders bevorzugte Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht auch darin, daß bei zweiteiliger Ausbildung des Domes, wenn beide Teile aus einer geschlossenen in eine geöffnete Stellung (und umgekehrt) verbringbar sind, die Tiefe der Führungsnut etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser des Drahtes gewählt wird und zudem der die beiden Dornabschnitte umfassende Dorn auch noch in Zuführrichtung des Drahtes (und in Gegenrichtung) verfahrbar ist. Damit läßt sich der Dorn gleichzeitig auch noch als Greifer für den Draht verwenden, der in der geschlossenen Stellung beider Dornabschnitte zwischen diesen verklemmt festgehalten ist.A very particularly preferred embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that in two-part design of the dome, when both parts from a closed to an open position (and vice versa) are brought, the depth of the guide is chosen slightly smaller than the diameter of the wire and also the mandrel portions comprehensive mandrel also in the feed direction of the wire (and in the opposite direction) is movable. Thus, the mandrel can also be used as a gripper for the wire at the same time, which is held clamped in the closed position of both mandrel sections between them.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich schließlich auch noch auf einen Dorn mit den weiter oben beschriebenen Merkmalen zur Verwendung bei einer Federherstellungsmaschine der einleitend genannten Art.Finally, the invention also relates to a mandrel with the features described above for use in a spring manufacturing machine of the aforementioned type.

Gleichermaßen ist auch die Steigungseinrichtung 8 an sich bekannt; sie ermöglicht es, durch eine Bewegung nach außen hin (senkrecht zur Drahtachse und senkrecht vom Maschinengestell 2 weg nach vorne) eine entsprechend gewünschte Steigung zwischen den einzelnen Windungen der Feder zu erzeugen. Die Wirkungsweise und der Einsatz solcher Steigungseinrichtungen ist dem Fachmann bekannt, so daß nicht noch weiter hierauf eingegangen werden muß.Likewise, the

Der bei 1-Finger-Umstellung nicht benötigte (obere) Umformschieber 13 des 2-Finger-Systems wird bei der Umstellung auf das 1-Finger-System abmontiert oder in eine weggefahrene Stellung verbracht, in der er verbleibt.The (upper) Umformschieber 13 of the 2-finger system, which is not required for 1-finger conversion, is removed during the conversion to the 1-finger system or moved to a retracted position in which it remains.
Der Umformdorn 16 ist in einem Dornkasten 17 befestigt (vgl. die vergrößerte Detaildarstellung des Umformbereiches in
Am Dornschlitten 18 sind zwei über jeweils eine Kurbelwelle 19 betätigte Schnittschieber 20 angebracht, an welchen jeweils ein Messer 21 zum Abtrennen einer erzeugten Feder (falls im 2-Finger-System gearbeitet wird) vorgesehen ist. Bei der auf 1-Finger-System umgestellten Federherstellungsmaschine gemäß

Die in den Figuren geschilderten Beispiele zeigen die Herstellung rechtsgewundener Federn. Selbstverständlich besteht bei Verwendung der Erfindung gleichermaßen auch die Möglichkeit zur Herstellung linksgewundener Federn, auch wenn dies nicht in den Figuren gezeigt ist. Um linksgewundene Federn herzustellen, ist es dann nur erforderlich, den Umformdorn 16 und die Drahtführung 5 durch einen neuen Umformdorn und eine neue Drahtführung zu ersetzen, wobei jedes dieser Elemente in einer zu den in den Figuren gezeigten Darstellungen um eine senkrecht zur Längsmittelebene M-M und durch die Längsmittelachse des Drahtführungskanals (Führungsnut 27) verlaufende Ebene gespiegelten Anordnung ausgeführt ist.The examples described in the figures show the production of right-wound springs.
