Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing profiled carrier with an increased bending strength according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the flexural strength of the structural beams is significantly increased by the spatial deformation of the material compared to flat material, it is desirable in view of the increasing tendency in recent years to reduce the weight of motor vehicles and the ever increasing safety requirements, the bending strength of such profile beam at a given weight of each component without increasing the cost of manufacturing the components, for example, by the use of higher quality materials.
  • the profile carrier according to the invention in this case has in the simplest embodiment, a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape with a first force application surface on which at least a first and a second extending at an angle to the force application surface web are arranged, which extend over the length of the profile carrier away.
  • a force application surface this is the surface of the carrier to be designated, at which an external force acts on the carrier.
  • the back of the U-profile which is e.g. in the case of a side impact protection in a car first comes in contact with the colliding vehicle.
  • the profile carrier according to the invention is in this case clamped in the case of a side impact protection at its ends, which can be done for example by welding to the upper and lower door spar.
  • the rolled to different thicknesses steel strip spatially deformed in particular by forming rollers in such a way that the areas with reduced material thickness with formation of the webs, which correspond to the two legs of the U-shaped cross section in the basic embodiment of the profile carrier, preferably parallel to each other and preferably at right angles to the area extend enlarged material thickness, which corresponds in this case the back of the U-shaped profile carrier.
  • rollers instead of forming rollers, however, it is also possible that cut to different thicknesses rolled metal strip after rolling in blanks and then transform it by a press in the spatial shape of the profile carrier.
  • the rolling of the steel strip to different thicknesses further comprises the production of a second region of increased material thickness adjoining the second region of reduced material thickness and of a second force application surface, and a third region of reduced material thickness adjoining the second region.
  • the forming includes bending the second region of increased material thickness at a preferably right angle to the adjacent second region of reduced material thickness and bending the third region of reduced material thickness at a preferably also right angle to the second region of increased thickness , so that a profile carrier is formed with a substantially S-like cross-section.
  • the latter accordingly has two force application surfaces which are offset and arranged parallel to each other and are interconnected by a central web formed by the second region of reduced material thickness.
  • the rolling of the steel strip to different thicknesses further comprises the production of a third region with an increased material thickness which adjoins the third region of reduced material thickness and a third force application surface and a fourth region adjoins this with a reduced thickness material thickness.
  • a forming device such as forming rollers, a folding device or a press reshaped so that the third area with increased material thickness at right angles to the adjacent third area with reduced material thickness and the fourth area with Reduced material thickness at right angles to the third region with increased thickness run, so that a profile carrier is formed with a cross section which has the shape of two spaced-apart inverted U's, whose adjacent legs are interconnected by a horizontal bar.
  • the profile carrier according to the invention produced in this way has compared to the previously described embodiments, a further increased flexural strength, the two horizontally extending first and third force application surfaces when used as a side impact protection in a motor vehicle preferably to the outside of the vehicle facing to the colliding vehicle first in Get in touch.
  • This embodiment of the profile carrier according to the invention has the advantage that the forces acting in an impact forces on an overall enlarged surface attack on the carrier, which in conjunction with the two additional inner webs of thin-walled kaltvernatureem material, the risk of local buckling of the profile carrier is further reduced.
  • the transitions between the sections of increased thickness and the sections of reduced thickness after the rolling of the steel strip and prior to the forming thereof are designed sharp-edged.
  • the transitions between the sections of increased thickness and the sections of reduced thickness after the rolling of the steel strip have a continuous course, ie an edgeless transition.
  • a particular advantage of this embodiment is that the material can flow out of the intermediate areas or transition areas during the forming process, which causes the Facilitated transformation process and reduces the risk of cracking in the area of the rounded longitudinal edges.
  • the rolling of the steel strip to different thicknesses in the preferred embodiment of the invention by a roller with an open caliber , As a result, the material thickness is not changed in the region or regions with increased thickness during the rolling, so that these areas have a significantly higher ductility or formability compared to the adjacent rolled, work-hardened areas.
  • the forming process is facilitated by the fact that the ductility of the thickened area can be adjusted with high accuracy by an appropriate selection of the starting material, since the use of an open caliber no strain hardening occurs in this area and the material in this area therefore his maintains original characteristics.
  • forming the rolled steel strip comprises drawing a collar and / or ironing the material in at least one of the regions of increased material thickness. Due to the fact that the material in the areas with enlarged Material thickness according to the invention a significantly greater ductility than in the adjacent cold-strengthened areas, and also more material is available due to the greater thickness, which can flow when pulling out a collar, there is the advantage that cut into the collar thus produced, for example, thread can be about which can be screwed by means of suitable screws other components directly to the outside of the profile carrier according to the invention, without the need for additional nuts or the like must be welded to the workpiece, as is required in conventionally manufactured profile carriers. Similarly, projections or beads can be introduced by stretching the material in the areas of increased thickness, which can also serve for the direct attachment of other components, or for the positive connection of a profile carrier produced by the process according to the invention with other components.
  • hot-rolled strip may alternatively be used as the starting material.
  • the supplied steel strip is unwound from a coil, fed to a previously described rolling device and subsequently the steel strip rolled off to different thicknesses rolled up into a coil.
  • the coiled coils can then be transported directly to the forming operations and unwound there again and by appropriate forming devices, such as. continuously and successively transferred to the webs and spine forming rollers in the final shape of the Pofillini and then cut to length by a suitable cutter to the desired length.
  • Fig. 1e comprises a profile carrier produced by the process according to the invention 1 with a U-shaped cross-section a first, as a back designated force application surface 40a, from which two legs, also referred to as webs 60a and 60b extend at right angles and parallel to each other.
  • the first force application surface 40a is a surface into which a force indicated by the arrow F is introduced, such as the impact forces that are exerted on the carrier 1 in the event of a collision by a foreign vehicle, if this as impact protection in the door or Roof area of a motor vehicle not shown closer is used.
  • a steel strip 2 having a substantially constant initial thickness is first fed to a pair of rollers 3a, 3b, of which the lower roller 3b has a constant diameter and the upper roller 3 has two outer sections 5v and an intermediate one Section 5r has a reduced diameter.

  • the material in these two regions 6a, 6b with a reduced material thickness has a considerably higher strength than in the region 4a.
  • the rolled to its final thickness steel strip 2 ( Fig. 1c ) is subsequently removed from the rollers 3a, 3b and fed to a forming device, which in Fig. 1d is symbolized by three forming rollers 7a, 7b and 7c.
  • the first and the second region of reduced material thickness 6a, 6b which are assigned to the webs or legs 60a, 60b in the profile carrier 1, are angled relative to the first region of increased material thickness 4a, which is assigned to the force application surface 40a, preferably angled 90 °, to bring the carrier 1 in its final form.
