Definitions

  • the invention relates to a positioning device for a sheet metal component, in particular for a body component of a vehicle, which is held on the positioning device in a heat-open, consisting of a base body which carries on one side a receiving device, with which it can be supported on support rails, and Has on its other side at least one holding device for the sheet metal component.
  • the automotive industry has recently been increasingly using high-strength sheet-metal in body construction in order to achieve the desired rigidity of the body on the one hand and to save weight on the other hand.
  • the preformed sheet metal components such as side members, B-pillar or the like are placed on positioning devices which are held on retaining rails.
  • These support rails are connected to a conveyor or attached to a trolley, via which then the sheet metal components are moved into a heating oven in which they are heated to the required temperature. Subsequently, the sheet metal components are quenched so as to achieve their high strength.
  • the Applicant uses positioning devices having a box-like base body which is welded together from a plurality of steel plates with reinforcing plates, has at its lower end two spaced receiving means and carries at its opposite end holding means for the sheet metal component.
  • the holding devices are typically pins, slots, pointed cones or the like, which support the sheet metal component and position via openings in the sheet metal component.
  • DE 10 2009 015 013 A1 in FIG. 9 very schematically describes a furnace saddle, called a furnace support in the description, which rests on two support rails and can be raised vertically upwards.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a positioning device of the type mentioned in such a way that a delay is largely excluded despite the prevailing temperatures in the furnace.
  • the main body according to the invention consists of a vertical wall, which is equipped on the one hand with the holding devices and on the other hand with the receiving devices. Due to the lack of side walls and the lack of reinforcing plates, this body does not distort anymore, at most he can stretch in its areal extent, but this has no effect on the dimensional stability of the sheet metal components supported by the positioning device by suitable holding devices. Also, the positioning device according to the invention is much lighter than those previously used, so that both the warm-up time in the oven, but at the same time the wear of the support rails or their burden can be reduced. Due to the structure of the invention, the space requirement of
  • Positioning device significantly reduced, which makes positively felt in the required storage or loading area.
  • substantially narrower design positioning device can also be arranged two or more parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the support rails.
  • two or more sheet metal components for example, right and left side members of a vehicle body
  • sheet metal members with a large width can be held.
  • the positioning device is securely guided on the support rails. While in the embodiment according to the prior art, the positioning device only loosely rests on the support rails and thus can perform a tilting movement due to vibrations about the longitudinal axis of the support rails and can also move about its vertical axis, this is reliably prevented by the fixed bearing. Thus, the positioning can not stand out with the support rails even when removing the sheet metal component. A subsequent dropping to the support rails is thus excluded, which could previously lead to damage or even destruction of the support rails.
  • a bearing assembly is understood that does not allow rotation and / or tilting movement in the use of the positioning.
  • the positioning can be moved on the support rails for adjusting to the size of the sheet metal component to be held and replaced for repair purposes. It can also be exchanged for another positioning device with other holding devices if differently dimensioned or differently designed sheet metal components are to be treated in the heating furnace.
  • the support rail for the fixed bearing consist of a closed square profile, which is surrounded by a congruent square profile of the receiving device on all sides.
  • the positioning device is displaceable on the support rails. In order to set it exactly on the support rails for each sheet metal component, the development according to claim 8 is suitable.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a positioning device
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the positioning device of FIG. 1; FIG. and
  • Fig. 3 is a front view of another positioning device.
  • a positioning device 1 according to the invention is shown. It consists of a base body 2, which in this example is a steel sheet of several millimeters thickness, two receiving devices 3 and 4 and two holding devices. 5
  • the receiving devices 3 and 4 are welded to the right and left at the bottom of the base body 2 and are in operative connection with two retaining rails 6 and 7.
  • the support rails 6 and 7 extend in this example perpendicular to the plane.
  • the receiving devices 3 and 4 are also perpendicular to the plane.
  • the main body 2 is vertical on its receiving devices 3 and 4.
  • the support rail 7 consists of a set to the top, closed and hollow square profile. But there are also other polygonal profiles conceivable.
  • the receiving device 3 consists of an open to its support rail 6 toward U-profile.
  • the distance of the legs of the U-profile has a clear width, which is greater than the cross section of the retaining rail 6.
  • the receiving device 3 acts as a support.
  • the receiving device 4 has, apart from a small game, the same cross-sectional profile as the support rail 7. It encloses the support rail completely.
  • the receiving device 4 acts as a fixed bearing 9 for the positioning device 1. It can no longer tilt by vibration or commute and move around the vertical axis.
  • the holding means 5 for the male sheet metal component are conventional type, such as tips, truncated cones or the like.
  • reinforcing ribs 10 are welded at least on one side of the main body 2, which run almost over the entire height of the main body 2 and extend at least as far as or nearly to the holding devices 5 and thus warping of the main body 2 in the region of the holding devices 5 Avoid or significantly reduce.
  • a slot-shaped opening 12 in the base body 2 serves to receive a connecting bar 14, not shown in detail in FIG. 1, when a plurality of positioning devices 1 have to be arranged one behind the other with sufficient spacing to accommodate long sheet-metal components.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the positioning device from FIG. 1.
  • Positioning device 1 can be mounted on the support rail 7.
  • fasteners 13 are for example screws into consideration. However, it can also be provided a bolt.
  • connection bar 14 for connecting a plurality of positioning devices 1 can be seen in long sheet metal components.
  • 2 reinforcing ribs 10 are arranged on the front and back of the main body.
  • the holding rails 6 and 7 can be fastened to a conveying device (not shown) which moves continuously or discontinuously through or into and out of the heating furnace.
  • a conveying device (not shown) which moves continuously or discontinuously through or into and out of the heating furnace. This can be a continuous furnace
  • FIG. 3 an alternative positioning device is shown in front view, wherein like components with the same reference numerals as in Figs. 1 and 2 are designated.
  • the difference from the positioning device 1 of FIG. 1 is the number of holding devices 5 and thus also in the number of reinforcing ribs 10. Also, a plurality of openings 1 1 is provided here.
  • a sheet-metal component 15 is shown, which is fixed in a positionally accurate manner via holding devices 5 in the form of positioning pins 5.1 and support points 5.2.

Abstract

Pour chauffer des pièces en tôle dans un four à réchauffer, on utilisait jusqu'à présent des dispositifs de positionnement de type boîte qui avaient souvent tendance à se déformer et se craqueler. Les dispositifs de positionnement selon l'invention sont formés à partir d'une paroi verticale unique qui, au niveau de son côté supérieur, présente des éléments de maintien pour la pièce en tôle et, au niveau de son côté inférieur, des éléments de réception, avec lesquels elle est fixée sur des rails de maintien.
