Description

  • The object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a conical tube element, in particular from an aluminium cylindrical tube utilised as a straight-line or curved lighting column.
  • Known from EP-A-1690610 , which is considered as being the closest prior art, is a method of manufacturing a conical tube element by subjecting a straight-line tube element to plastic forming processes. For example, a Polish patent description PL194795 discloses a method of forming cylindrical and tapered tubes, in particular made from aluminium and alloys thereof. A cylindrical tube is placed onto a mandrel and set in rotary motion, whereas the outside surface of the tube is subjected to cold regulated pressing by at least two non-driven forming rollers with an outside diameter 2-6 times larger than the smallest diameter of the formed cone, consisting of a cylindrical part and a tapered front part and preferably spaced in one plane and distributed uniformly around the perimeter of the tube, which are pressed in a regulated manner to the outside surface of the tube and simultaneously rolled along the axis of the tube, preferably at a speed in the range between 1 and 15 mm/tube rotation. The pressing of the forming rolls is regulated.
  • The known method of forming tube elements on a mandrel ensures the required strength of a column, it is, however, time-consuming, costly and impedes bending columns into curved form.
  • The invention concerns a method of forming a conical tube element, in particular from an aluminium cylindrical tube, wherein the straight-line tube element undergoes plastic forming. According to the invention the straight-line tube element is put on a mandrel of a forming device, which mandrel is two metres long at the most, and then a section of said tube element put on said mandrel is rolled, and after that without interrupting the forming process, the remaining part of the tube element is rolled and drawn.
  • The formed tube element may have a conical shape along the entire length of said element or along a part thereof. In the latter case the remaining part of the tube element will be a cylindrical tube.
  • Preferably a straight-line tube element is placed onto two mandrels of the forming device on each side of the tube element, wherein said mandrels are two metres long at the most and then sections of the tube element placed on the mandrel are rolled, taperingly towards the centre of the tube element and after that, without interrupting the forming process, the remaining part of the tube element is rolled and drawn, and after that the formed conical element is cut in the area of a taper.
  • In order to form a curved column it is advisable that following the removal of the tube element off the mandrel, a part of said tube element previously rolled and drawn is bent to the predetermined curved shape.
  • The method according to the invention allows for fast, uncomplicated and economical manufacturing of conical tube elements in one process. A part of the column formed on a mandrel has the required high strength and the remaining part of the column which does not need to meet such strict strength criteria may be easily bent. Conical tube elements formed using the method according to the invention may also be used as straight-line lighting columns. In an embodiment of the invention two conical tube elements may be formed in one process, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the production process.
  • The invention is presented in more detail in the following embodiments.
  • The method of forming a conical tube element, in particular from an aluminium cylindrical tube consists in that an input straight-line cylindrical tube is placed onto a mandrel of a forming device. The mandrel is two metres long at the most, for example, 1.8 m. After complete placing the tube on the mandrel and fixing said tube thereto, the mandrel is set in rotary motion, thus the tube is also set in rotary motion around the axis thereof. A section of the tube element placed onto the mandrel is rolled by means of forming rollers, and after that, without interrupting the process, the remaining part of the tube element is subjected to rolling and drawing.
  • The so formed conical tube element, following the removal thereof off the mandrel, may be subjected to bending to the predetermined curved shape at the part of said tube element which was previously rolled and drawn.
  • In one embodiment of the invention a straight-line, cylindrical input tube is mounted on two mandrels of a forming device, on each side of the tube element. Said mandrels are two metres long at the most, for example 1.6 m. After complete mounting of the tube on the mandrels and fixing it thereto, the mandrels are set in synchronous rotary motion and thus the tube is also set in rotary motion around the axis thereof. Sections of the tube element mounted on the mandrels are subjected to rolling, each with the use of a set of forming rollers, taperingly towards the centre of the tube element. Without interrupting the process, the remaining part of the tube element is subjected to rolling and drawing. Finally, the formed conical element is cut in the area of tapering of the conical tube element.
  • The so formed conical tube element is removed from the mandrel and then the part of said tube element that was previously rolled and drawn may be subjected to bending to the predetermined curved shape.
  • The formed tube element may have conical form along full length thereof or only along a part thereof. In the latter case the remaining part of the tube element will have a form of a cylindrical tube.
