Definitions

  • Press hardening which is also known as "thermoforming" is a process for hot forming components, in particular sheet metal materials. In this case, a combination of heat treatment, shaping and optionally controlled cooling takes place.
  • a common area of application for press hardening processes is, inter alia, in the field of automobile production, for example in connection with automotive lightweight construction concepts.
  • it is often used for forming coated metallic components, so on the one hand, the components do not scale during the heat treatment and on the other hand increases the durability of the tools or corrosion protection is guaranteed in subsequent use.
  • the components fed to the press-hardening are, for example, coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy.
  • an aluminum-silicon alloy With the use of such coatings, common devices during the heat treatment in the oven often lead to a thermochemical impairment of individual components of the furnace. Particularly affected are components of a transport device, which serves to convey the components through the furnace and thus come into direct contact with the components. This leads to high costs for maintenance and servicing.
  • the components to be formed have a contact-sensitive coating, such as a zinc coating
  • contact with, for example, the transport device of the furnace may damage the coating.
  • a contact of a zinc coating with another, for example, rough, surface, z. B. with rolls of a roller hearth furnace or with shelves of a chamber furnace can be damaged as a result of the friction occurring.
  • the components are first heated in the oven to a temperature of, for example, about 950 ° C and then transported in a press. There occurs during the shaping in the press usually a controlled cooling.
  • the furnace is usually designed as a roller hearth furnace or a chamber furnace, wherein the roller hearth furnace, the components are passed through a roller conveyor through the oven and placed in the chamber furnace with a manipulator in the oven.
  • Other types of furnaces such as walking beam ovens and chain-carrier ovens, have not been successful so far.
  • DE 10 2009 050 879 B3 discloses a method and apparatus for board heating.
  • the blanks are heated in a pusher furnace in several process steps to effect certain material properties for subsequent process steps.
  • an induction method is used to transfer heat energy to the boards.
  • the process steps provide that the boards are heated in several stages and are supplied to the further process step, such as a press or mold hardening after heating.
  • the device has a conveyor system, which consists of several chains of ceramic, on which the boards are positioned.
  • a transport device has a tempering chamber in which a component is moved vertically with a displacement device. The component is picked up for removal from a furnace by the shuttle when it is in a pickup position. For passing on to the further processing device, the traversing device is in a dispensing position. From this dispensing position, the component is conveyed by means of a conveying device from the temperature-control chamber or the displacement device to the further-processing device.
  • the components should be transferred as quickly as possible from the furnace to the press.
  • a manipulator such as a robot, which removes the components directly from the oven or grips the components passed through the oven with a transport device, such as the roller conveyor, and transfers them to the press.
  • the manipulator then also serves to bring the component before insertion into the press, for example by turning in the correct position.
  • Both the transport between the oven and the press as well as making the manipulations are associated with a process-related difficult to reduce time and thus have the consequence that the component cools before the beginning of the molding process or additionally scaled in the case of uncoated components. Accordingly, the components in the oven must be brought to a higher temperature than would actually be necessary for the subsequent molding process in the press. This degrades the energy efficiency of the process. In addition, by reacting the components with the manipulator increases the risk that the coating will be damaged by mechanical contact.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to overcome these and other disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a device for the press-hardening of components, which allows rapid, non-destructive, energy and cost-efficient machining of the components.
  • a thermochemical attack of the coating of the components on the means of a transport device should be excluded as far as possible and a contact damage of the coating should be avoided as far as possible.
  • an implementation of the components from the oven in the press should be done as quickly as possible in order to prevent unnecessary cooling.
  • a method for press hardening of components using an apparatus according to the invention is to be made available.
  • a furnace downstream of the press and a transport device is inventively provided that means for transporting the components are slidably mounted in the transport device, wherein the means with the components along the transport device through the furnace and are movable in the press, wherein the transport device between the furnace and the press is continuous and wherein the transport of the components from the oven to the press is tamper-free feasible.
  • the invention is therefore intended to bring the components by the same means not only in the oven, but also to pass through the oven and to proceed in the press. Additional manipulators for converting the components between the oven and the press are therefore not required. Accordingly, not only a manufacturing cost of the device is reduced, but also shortens possible cycle times, since the components can be transported faster from the oven to the press.
  • the components can be contacted by the means in areas which either have no coating or lie outside a later range of use of the component. These areas can be removed, for example, in the press or after the pressing process. The area of use of the components is thus passed through the furnace and into the press without contact, so that even contact-sensitive coatings can be processed without difficulty.
  • the transport device may have sections of different transport speed.
  • a lower transport speed is desired in carrying out the means with the components through the furnace, as for example when transporting from the furnace to the press. This can be done, for example, by appropriate mechanisms.
  • the transport device from a loading station in the direction of movement in front of the furnace at least until a pressing position in the press continuously.
  • This is a relatively simple design to guide the components tamper-free not only in the oven, but also from the oven in the press.
  • the press is designed as a press with a horizontal pressing direction. Turning or pivoting of the components, which are usually performed in a vertical orientation through the furnace is then not required. Accordingly, low cycle times can be realized.
  • the transport device can be guided outside the furnace and / or the press. Thus, the temperature load of the transport device is kept low.
  • the guided on the transport device means are then passed through a breakthrough of the furnace, so that the components are completely heated in the oven.
  • the breakthrough runs in the transport direction or in the furnace longitudinal direction and is in particular formed in a floor or a ceiling of the furnace.
  • the transport device is guided within the furnace and / or the press.
  • the oven can then be gas-tight and operated under a protective gas atmosphere.
  • the means for transporting the components each have at least one receiving element, to which one of the components can be attached in a suspended manner.
  • the receiving element may be formed in the simplest case as a hook or eye and cooperate with a corresponding eyelet or a corresponding hook of the component. But it is also an active embodiment of the receiving element possible, which is designed for example as a gripper.
  • a plurality of receiving elements may be provided on a means or provide each receiving element a plurality of coupling points available. This allows a stable transport of the components.
  • a contact of the receiving element or elements of the means takes place in an area with the component, which lies outside of a utilization area.
  • a hanging arrangement of the components on the means has the advantage that the components are guided in a stable position. In particular, a drop or buckling of the components is then hardly to be feared.
  • the means for transporting the components each have at least one receiving element, to which one of the components can be fastened upright.
  • the receiving element or the receiving elements may in turn be designed as hooks, eyes, grippers or the like, wherein one or more receiving elements are assigned to a means to provide one or more coupling points.
  • a stationary transport may be cheaper than a hanging one. Especially with heavy components, a lighter absorption of weight forces can be done.
  • the means for transporting the components cover means, with which the components are at least partially covered.
  • Each agent can each have a cover.
  • cover devices it is possible to temper individual areas of the components differently. By covering a region of the components by means of a covering device, this area in the furnace is usually subjected to less heat and thus less heated. This can be used to achieve areas of different ductility or with different degrees of hardness.
  • a tempering device is arranged in the furnace and / or between the furnace and the press and / or in the press, with the individual regions of the components are actively tempered.
  • the tempering device can, for example, have infrared radiators in order to additionally heat individual areas of the components. It is also possible to specifically cool individual areas of the components, so that they are pressed at a lower temperature. In any case, an active temperature control of individual areas or at least a single area of a component, which can be used to adjust the strength.
  • the transport device is designed as a guide rail, in which the means for transporting the components are guided.
  • This is a relatively simple embodiment to transport the funds out.
  • a central drive for all means may be provided, but it is also conceivable to provide the means with their own drives.
  • the components are therefore not introduced with different manipulators first in the oven and then in the press. Rather, there is a continuous transport of the components with a continuous transport device, which is at least from a loading station in the direction of movement in front of the furnace to a pressing position in the press continuously.
  • the components can be contacted only in areas of the means that are outside of a later range of use. A coating applied there can thus neither damage the means, nor can be effected by the means an impairment of the coating.

  • the transport device 4 is formed as a kind of guide rail, in which the means 5 are guided.
  • a first drive mechanism 11 is provided, which causes a slowed movement of the means 5 and thus simplifies the loading.
  • the transport device 4 is assigned a second drive mechanism 12, which serves as an emergency discharge and bridges the distance to the press.
  • the means 5 with the components 2 heated in the oven are thereby moved at a higher speed from the outlet of the furnace into the press 8. The time in which the components cool down 2 is thus kept low.
