Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a finishing section of a machine for continuously producing square pipes, i.e. with square or rectangular section.
  • a machine for the continuous forming of square pipes comprises a plurality of forming stations which progressively bend a strip of sheet metal, followed by a finishing section which comprises at least one station which brings further together, in view of final welding, the edges of the sheet metal strip bent by the forming stations, and at least one station for the final welding of the square pipe.
  • Machines for forming square pipes by means of continuous bending of strips of sheet metal are well known in the art and comprise, in series one with the other, a plurality of stations wherein the strip of sheet metal is progressively deformed by pairs of joined rollers, i.e. having grooves with complementary profiles.
  • Such a machine defined as machine with variable linear geometry, is described for example in the European patent application EP 2279807 , in the name of the same Applicant OLIMPIA 80 S.R.L., and provides a variable number of so-called "pipe forming" steps wherein the originally flat sheet metal is deformed, creating the lower and upper edges of a square or rectangular profile by means of adjustable rollers, and therefore adaptable to several sizes of pipes to be produced, which press on the sheet metal both from the outside and from the inside of the profile of the pipe being formed until the latter is sufficiently open.
  • the pipe forming section is followed by a "pipe finishing" section wherein, it no longer being possible to act with rollers inside the profile of the pipe, rollers are provided which act from the outside to confer the final profile of the pipe before welding.
  • the finishing section comprises a plurality of stations, each of which comprises a lower roller placed under the square pipe being formed, a pair of rollers with vertical axis, adjustable horizontally, placed at the sides of the square pipe being formed and a pair of rollers with horizontal axes, distanced longitudinally and adjustable vertically, placed above the square pipe being formed.
  • the lateral rollers with vertical axes are conical rollers in order to adapt to the lateral profile of the square pipe being formed and are placed in line with the lower roller.
  • the upper rollers are instead biconical rollers, again in order to adapt to the upper profile of the square pipe being formed and, as mentioned, are staggered longitudinally in order not to interfere with the lateral conical rollers.
  • the lateral conical rollers have greater dimensions with respect to corresponding cylindrical rollers, which increases the transverse dimension of the machine.
  • the object of the invention is that of eliminating the disadvantages mentioned above. More particularly an object of the invention is that of providing a finishing section of a machine for the continuous production of square pipes, comprising at least one finishing station with an arrangement of the rollers such as to avoid any displacement or twisting or undulation of the square pipe being formed.
  • Another object of the invention is that of providing an arrangement and configuration of the rollers such as to make the corresponding finishing station compact.
  • each station of the finishing section according to the invention comprises:
  • rollers are all cylindrical and of limited width, but they could also be slightly conical without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the upper rollers are arranged in line with the lower roller, while the lateral rollers are staggered longitudinally with respect thereto.
  • the inclination of the lateral rollers can be adjusted manually by means of a trapezoidal screw, as also the horizontal movement of opening/closure of the lateral rollers is obtained by means of a trapezoidal screw moved by a gear motor and controlled by means of an encoder placed on the gear motor.
  • the inclination of the two upper rollers can be adjusted manually by means of a trapezoidal screw and the vertical movement of these rollers is obtained by means of a jack moved by a motor.
  • the invention is aimed specifically at the finishing section which will be described here below with reference to Figures 2 to 6 , while the forming station, to be considered in itself known, will not be described further.
  • the finishing section denoted overall by reference numeral 10, is shown schematically in Figures 2 and 3 , and comprises four finishing stations 11 a, 11b, 11c and 11d consecutive in the direction of forward movement of the sheet metal, i.e. the pipe being formed, from right to left in the example shown.
  • finishing stations 11 can be in a number different from that illustrated, and in theory even only one can be provided.
  • Each finishing station comprises a fixed lower roller 20 with strictly cylindrical or slightly convex profile in order to avoid a convexity of the lower face of the pipe being formed, two lateral rollers 21 with variable inclination and with the possibility of horizontal movement of opening/closure in order to adapt to the range of pipes to be produced, and two upper rollers 22, also with variable inclination and with the possibility of vertical movement of rise/descent in order to adapt to the dimensions of the pipes to be produced.
  • the two upper rollers 22 are placed in line, i.e. on the vertical line of the lower roller 20, while the lateral rollers 21 are placed in a longitudinally staggered position with respect to the lower roller 20 and to the upper rollers 22, in particular they are placed upstream of these rollers in the direction of forward movement of the square pipe being formed 1.
  • the lateral rollers 21 and the upper rollers 22 have a different inclination according to the position of the corresponding station 11 in the finishing section 10.
  • Figures 3 A to 3H show how, moving from the first station 11a to the last station 11d, the angle of inclination ⁇ shown in the drawings, which corresponds to the inclination of the axis of the lateral rollers with respect to the vertical line, decreases from 20° to 6° in the example given, while the angle of inclination of the axis of the upper rollers 22 with respect to the horizontal line decreases from 23.5° to 4.5° in the example given.
  • Both the rollers 21 and the rollers 22 are cylindrical rollers, which makes the machine compact, above all in the transverse direction.
  • Figures 4A , 4B and 4C are overall views, respectively perspective, from above and side of a finishing section with four stations, according to the invention.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show the assemblies carrying respectively the lateral rollers 21 and the upper rollers 22 with the lower roller 20, illustrating the mechanisms which allow the movements of these rollers, which have been set to be arranged in the first finishing station 11a.
  • Figures 5A and 5B are respectively a perspective view and a front view of an assembly 11a' carrying the lateral rollers 21.
  • the rollers 21 are mounted rotating on respective supports 30 with circular profile, so as to be able to slide in respective circular guides 31, so as to allow a rotation of the rollers around centres of rotation C1, C2 corresponding to the lower edges of the profile of the pipe 1 being formed, against which the lower edges of the rollers 21 are arranged.
  • Figure 5 also shows locking screws 33 inserted in corresponding slots 34 to firmly block the supports 30 of the rollers 21, in the calibration position, with respect to the respective guides 31.
  • a graduated scale 35 is also provided where it is possible to read with precision the angle of inclination of the rollers 21.
  • the circular guides 31 carrying the lateral rollers 21 are mounted on respective slides 36 sliding on respective guide blocks 37 attached to the plinth 40 of the finishing section.
  • the movement of the slides 36, which determines the opening/closure of the lateral rollers 21 in order to adapt them to the dimension of the square pipe to be formed is obtained, in the example shown, by means of a pair of trapezoidal screws 38 actuated by gear motor 39.
  • rollers like the lateral rollers 21, are carried by the respective supports 50 with circular profile, sliding in respective circular guides 51, so as to rotate around a centre of rotation corresponding to the intersection point of the extensions of the upper edges of the pipe 1 being formed, in order to be able to perform the calibration of these rollers on the basis of the position of the corresponding station in the finishing section.
  • the circular guides 51 are mounted on vertical slides 56 sliding on uprights 57 attached to the plinth 40.
  • the slides 56 are joined above by a crosspiece 58 actuated to move vertically up and down in order to adapt the rollers 22 to the dimension of the square pipes to be produced, by means of a jack 59 moved by a motor 60.
  • the profile of the lower roller 20 can be perfectly cylindrical.
  • the lower roller 20 is mounted on a support 70 with the possibility of a slight adjustment vertically, should the need arise.
  • All the rollers 20, 21, 22 of each finishing station are normally mounted idle around the relevant axes.
