Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Werkzeuganordnung zum Umformen eines Wannenrandes an einem metallischen Wannenrohling gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Eine dazu geeignete Werkzeuganordnung ist z.B. in der US-A-2276052 offenbart.The invention relates to a tool assembly for forming a tub rim on a metallic tub blank according to the preamble of claim 1. A suitable tool assembly is eg in the US-A-2276052 disclosed.

Die Formgebung von Sanitärwannen annen erfolgt in mehreren Umformsc ritten. Zunächst wird aus einer ebenen Metallplatte ein Wannenrohling gefertigt, der eine muldenförmige Vertiefung, welche den Wannenraum einer Badewanne oder die Standfläche einer Duschwanne bildet, aufweist. Die Vertiefung ist oberseitig von einer planen Umfangsfläche umgeben, die in einem folgenden Umformschritt zu einem Wannenrand der Sanitärwanne umgeformt wird. Dazu wird der Rand der ebenen Fläche rechtwinklig umgebogen und wird in die plane Fläche eine vorgegebene Spiegelflächenneigung eingeformt.The design of Sanitärwannen annen takes place in several Umformsc rides. First, a tub blank is made of a flat metal plate having a trough-shaped depression which forms the tub space of a bathtub or the footprint of a shower tray has. The recess is surrounded on the upper side by a planar peripheral surface, which is formed in a subsequent forming step to a tub rim of the sanitary tub. For this purpose, the edge of the flat surface is bent at right angles and is formed in the plane surface a predetermined mirror surface tilt.

Sanitärwannen werden häufig in kleinen Serien gefertigt, die sich hinsichtlich der Außenabmessung des Wannenrandes und/oder hinsichtlich der äußeren Kontur des Wannenrandes unterscheiden. Für die Umformung unterschiedlich großer sowie unterschiedlich ausgebildeter Wannenränder müssen eine Vielzahl von Umformwerkzeugen bereitgestellt werden. Dies ist aufwändig, und führt dazu, dass in der Praxis Sanitärwannen nur mit wenigen Variationen und Abmessungen der Wannenränder wirtschaftlich herstellbar sind.Sanitary tubs are often manufactured in small series, which differ in terms of the outer dimension of the tub rim and / or in terms of the outer contour of the tub rim. For the conversion of differently sized and differently designed tub edges, a large number of forming tools must be provided. This is complex, and leads to the fact that in practice sanitary tubs can be produced economically only with a few variations and dimensions of the tub edges.

Die EP 1 946 687 A2 befasst sich mit einem Tiefziehen von Kunststoffwannen und beschreibt einen für das Tiefziehen von Kunststoffwannen geeigneten variabel vormontierbaren Formrahmen, der aus verschiedenen und/oder aufeinander abgestimmten Rahmenteilen aufgebaut ist. Der Formrahmen wird auf einer Ziehplatte fixiert und ersetzt eine übliche Tiefziehform. Eine umzuformende Kunststoffplatte wird auf den Formrahmen aufgelegt und durch unterseitiges Anlegen eines Vakuums frei geformt. Über den Formrahmen überstehende Ränder werden am äußeren Umfang des Formrahmens umgebogen. Für die Umformung des Wannenrandes wird ein Fensterrahmen verwendet, der die Kunststoffplatte über den Formrahmen zieht und auf der Ziehplatte fixiert. Ebenso wie der Formrahmen kann auch der Fensterrahmen aus Standardteilen variabel zusammengesetzt werden. Zur Umformung einer Metallplatte ist die bekannte Werkzeuganordnung jedoch nicht geeignet. Bei der Umformung einer Metallplatte, die eine wesentlich höhere Biegefestigkeit als eine tiefziehfähige Kunststoffplatte aufweist, kann insbesondere nicht sichergestellt werden, dass die umzuformende Platte während des Umformprozesses fest und definiert auf dem Umformrahmen aufliegt. Vor allem in den kritischen Eckbereichen, in denen die umzuformende Platte einer starken Reckung unterworfen ist, ist damit zu rechnen, dass durch Materialverwerfungen und Materialverzug das Umformergebnis unbefriedigend ist.The EP 1 946 687 A2 deals with a thermoforming of plastic trays and describes a suitable for the deep drawing of plastic trays variable pre-mold frame, which is composed of different and / or coordinated frame parts. The mold frame is fixed on a drawing plate and replaces a conventional thermoforming mold. A reshaped plastic plate is placed on the mold frame and by underside Applying a vacuum freely shaped. Over the mold frame protruding edges are bent at the outer periphery of the mold frame. For the reshaping of the tub rim, a window frame is used, which pulls the plastic plate over the mold frame and fixed on the drawing plate. As well as the mold frame and the window frame can be composed of standard parts variable. However, the known tool arrangement is not suitable for forming a metal plate. When forming a metal plate, which has a much higher flexural strength than a thermoformable plastic plate, it can not be ensured in particular that the plate to be formed rests firmly and defined on the forming frame during the forming process. Especially in the critical corner areas in which the plate to be formed is subjected to a strong stretching, it is to be expected that the deformation result is unsatisfactory due to material distortion and material distortion.

Aus US 2 276 052 ist eine zum Umformen eines Wannenrandes an einen metallischen Wannenrohling geeignete Werkzeuganordnung bekannt mit einem Werkzeugunterteil, das eine erste Spannplatte und einen auf der ersten Spannplatte angeordneten Hochstellrahmen aufweist, und mit einem Werkzeugoberteil, das eine zweite Spannplatte und einen auf der zweiten Spannplatte angeordneten Prägerahmen aufweist. Der Hochstellrahmen ist mehrteilig aus Leisten und Winkelstücken zusammengesetzt und von einem aus Spannleisten gebildeten Spannrahmen eingefasst. Der Prägerahmen ist mehrteilig aus Prägerahmenelementen zusammengesetzt.Out US 2 276 052 a suitable tool for forming a tub rim to a metallic tub blank tool assembly is known with a tool base, which has a first clamping plate and arranged on the first clamping plate Hochstellrahmen, and with a tool upper part having a second clamping plate and a second clamping plate arranged on the embossing frame. The raised frame is composed of several parts of strips and elbows and edged by a clamping frame formed from clamping strips. The embossing frame is composed of several parts of Prägerahmenelementen.

Ausgehend von einer Werkzeuganordnung mit den aus US 2 276 052 bekannten Merkmalen besteht die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe darin, die Qualität der Umformung zu verbessern und die Entnahme des Werkstückes aus dem Werkzeug nach der Umformung zu erleichtern. Ferner soll die Werkzeuganordnung aus standardmäßigen Teilen variabel montierbar sein, so dass unter Verwendung der Standardteile Wannenränder mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen und unterschiedlichen Formen gefertigt werden können.Starting from a tool assembly with the off US 2 276 052 known features, the object underlying the invention is to improve the quality of the forming and to facilitate the removal of the workpiece from the tool after the forming.
