Description

La présente invention concerne une presse destinée à mettre en forme, par un procédé d'emboutissage, un flan de tôle. L'invention concerne aussi un procédé de maintenance d'une telle presse.The present invention relates to a press for shaping, by a stamping process, a sheet blank. The invention also relates to a method of maintaining such a press.

En particulier, l'invention concerne une presse qui comporte une matrice et un poinçon adaptés pour emboutir un flan de tôle lors de la descente de la matrice contre le poinçon. La presse comporte un serre-flan qui est guidé verticalement en translation d'une première position haute vers une seconde position basse lors de la descente de la matrice contre le poinçon. Le serre-flan comporte au moins deux parties mobiles entre elles, telles que la première partie présente un déplacement latéral par rapport à la deuxième partie. Le serre-flan comporte aussi des premiers moyens de rappel interposés entre ladite première partie et ladite seconde partie du serre-flan.In particular, the invention relates to a press which comprises a die and a punch adapted to stamp a sheet blank during the descent of the die against the punch. The press comprises a blank holder which is vertically guided in translation from a first high position to a second low position when the die is lowered against the punch. The blank holder has at least two movable parts between them, such that the first part has a lateral displacement relative to the second part. The blank holder also comprises first return means interposed between said first portion and said second portion of the blank holder.

Il est connu du document DE 103 34 483 d'avoir deux bordures latérales d'un flan en tôle qui sont libérées progressivement lors de l'opération d'emboutissage de la presse, permettant de maintenir une tension constante dans le flan de tôle tout au long de l'opération d'emboutissage. Une telle presse, d'une conception simple, ne permet pas d'augmenter la tension de la tôle durant l'opération d'emboutissage pour tendre d'avantage le flan de tôle et en augmenter la plasticité. Un tel procédé est généralement appelé « Stretch Draw ». Pour ce faire, il existe par exemple le document US3459025 qui permet de tendre la tôle durant l'opération d'emboutissage. Mais une telle presse utilise des moyens coûteux à mettre en oeuvre avec un vérin qui tend le flan de tôle à chacune de ces deux extrémités. Une telle presse présente aussi un encombrement qui la rend difficile à mettre en oeuvre dans un contexte industriel tel que celui de l'automobile. Un tel procédé est par exemple particulièrement intéressant pour la mise en forme d'un flan de tôle pour former un toit d'un véhicule automobile, en particulier un toit d'un véhicule automobile de grande dimension tel qu'un véhicule utilitaire. Pour remplacer de telles vérin, il est connu d'utiliser des moyens de rappel tels que des ressorts pneumatiques ou hydraulique, qui en se compressant lors de l'opération d'emboutissage, tendent progressivement le flan de tôle. Ce type de presse présente généralement des problèmes pour la maintenance, car lors du démontage d'une partie des serres-flan, il faut préalablement immobiliser ces moyens de rappel. Hors une telle étape allonge l'opération de maintenance et représente un danger en cas de libération non appropriées de ces moyens de rappel. Mais ces moyens de rappel sont indispensable au fonctionnement d'une presse de type « Stretch Draw ».It is known from the document DE 103 34 483 to have two side edges of a sheet blank which are gradually released during the stamping operation of the press, for maintaining a constant tension in the sheet blank throughout the stamping operation. Such a press, of a simple design, does not make it possible to increase the tension of the sheet during the stamping operation in order to tension the sheet blank more and to increase the plasticity thereof. Such a process is generally called "stretch trick". To do this, there is for example the document US3459025 which makes it possible to tension the sheet during the stamping operation. But such a press uses expensive means to implement with a jack that tends the sheet blank at each of these two ends. Such a press also has a size that makes it difficult to implement in an industrial context such as that of the automobile. Such a method is for example particularly advantageous for shaping a sheet blank to form a roof of a motor vehicle, in particular a roof of a motor vehicle of large size such as a commercial vehicle. To replace such cylinders, it is known to use return means such as pneumatic or hydraulic springs, which compressing during the stamping operation, gradually tend the sheet blank. This type of press generally presents problems for maintenance, because during the dismantling of part of the greenhouses, it is necessary to immobilize these return means beforehand. Except such a step lengthens the maintenance operation and represents a danger in the event of inappropriate release of these return means. But these means of recall are essential to the operation of a press type "Stretch Draw".

L'invention a pour objectif de pallier à ce problème et de proposer une presse destinée à mettre en forme par un procédé d'emboutissage de type « Stretch Draw » un flan de tôle, en particulier un flan de tôle destiné à former un toit d'un véhicule automobile de grande dimension tel qu'un véhicule utilitaire. Une telle presse doit permettre la réalisation des opérations de maintenances sans exiger de nombreuses opérations de préparation consistant à bloquer tous les moyens de rappel, pour permettre le démontage les parties mobiles telles que les serres-flan et cela d'une manière simple et sécurisée.The object of the invention is to overcome this problem and to propose a press intended to form a sheet blank, by way of a "stretch-draw" type drawing process, in particular a sheet blank intended to form a roof of sheet metal. a large motor vehicle such as a commercial vehicle.

In the example as shown, the lateral sliding of the second portion 42 is along a horizontal axis. A connecting rod 6 connects the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4 to a frame 7. The frame 7 forms a support for the punch 3 and has openings for guiding the vertical sliding of the push rods 45 of the blank holder 4. A first end 61 of the rod 6 and a first end 421 of the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4, are interconnected forming a first pivot-type connection 63. Similarly, a second end 62 of the rod 6 and a part of the frame 7, are interconnected forming a second pivot type connection 64. The rod 6 is positioned to move the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4 of the frame 7 during the descent of the matrix 5. The first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 slides in translation along the third portion 43 of the blank holder 4. Depending on the vertical positioning of the die 5, the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 is is moved laterally by causing in its lateral displacement the lateral portion 51 of the die 5, or remains in abutment between different bearing surfaces of the second portion 42 and the third portion 43 of the blank holder 4, such as the first part 41 of the blank holder 4 comprises:
  • a first bearing surface 411 which is formed by a first lateral wall positioned facing the free end of the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4. The first bearing surface 411 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 is oriented facing the punch 3, allowing the second portion 42 to guide the outside of the press 1 the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4, during the descent of the die 5;
  • a second bearing surface 412 which is formed by a second lateral wall positioned opposite the first return means 44. The second bearing surface 412 is oriented towards the outside of the press 1;
  • a third bearing surface 413 which is formed by a third lateral wall positioned facing a side wall 431 of the third portion 43 of the blank holder 4. The third bearing surface 413 is oriented facing the punch 3 and form a stop limiting the displacement of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 towards the punch 3; and
  • a fourth bearing surface 414 which is formed by a side wall of a first key 46 which collaborates with a side wall 521 of a second key 52 of the lateral portion 51 of the die 5.

L'extrémité libre de la seconde partie 42 du serre-flan 4, comporte un tampon d'appui 423 qui forme une surface de contact entre la première partie 41 et la deuxième partie 42 du serre-flan 4. Les premiers moyens de rappel 44 sont formés par un ressort hydraulique qui comporte un piston 441 qui coulisse dans une chambre de compression 442 formée dans une cavité de la seconde partie 42 du serre-flan 4. Le piston 441 comporte une tige de commande 443 dont l'extrémité libre est en appui contre la deuxième surface d'appui 412 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. Dans la position haute de la matrice 5, telle que représentée dans cette figure, nous avons :

  • la seconde clavette 52 de la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 qui est positionnée au-dessus de la première clavette 46 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. La première clavette 46 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4 comporte, au-dessus de la quatrième surface d'appui 414, une surface d'appui oblique 415 positionnée en regard d'une surface d'appui oblique 522 de la seconde clavette 52 de la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5. Les deux surfaces d'appui obliques 415 et 522 des deux clavettes 46 et 52 sont parallèles entre elles. Des seconds moyens de rappel 53 maintiennent en appui latéral la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 contre une partie centrale 54 de la matrice 5 ; et
  • le serre-flan 4 qui est positionné dans sa première position haute, faisant que les premiers moyens de rappel 44 sont dans une position compressée. La tige de commande 443 crée alors une force de poussée contre la deuxième surface d'appui 412 en direction du poinçon 3. Cette force de poussée maintien la troisième surface d'appui 413 en appui contre la paroi latérale 431 de la troisième partie 43 du serre-flan 4.
The free end of the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4 comprises a bearing pad 423 which forms a contact surface between the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4. The first return means 44 are formed by a hydraulic spring which comprises a piston 441 which slides in a compression chamber 442 formed in a cavity of the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4. The piston 441 comprises a control rod 443 whose free end is in bearing against the second bearing surface 412 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4. In the upper position of the die 5, as shown in this figure, we have:
  • the second key 52 of the lateral portion 51 of the die 5 which is positioned above the first key 46 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4. The first key 46 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 comprises , above the fourth bearing surface 414, an oblique bearing surface 415 positioned facing an oblique bearing surface 522 of the second key 52 of the lateral portion 51 of the matrix 5. The two surfaces oblique bearings 415 and 522 of the two keys 46 and 52 are parallel to each other. Second return means 53 hold lateral side 51 of the die 5 against a central portion 54 of the die 5; and
  • the blank holder 4 which is positioned in its first high position, so that the first return means 44 are in a compressed position. The control rod 443 then creates a thrust force against the second bearing surface 412 in the direction of the punch 3. This thrust force holds the third bearing surface 413 in abutment against the side wall 431 of the third portion 43 of the blank holder 4.

Les figures 2, 3 et 4 représentent des vues latérales partielles, en coupe, de la presse 1 lors de différentes étapes du procédé d'emboutissage du flan de tôle 2.The figures 2 , 3 and 4 are partial side views, in section, of the press 1 at different stages of the stamping process of the sheet blank 2.

Sur la figure 2, la matrice 5 de la presse 1 amorce sa descente en direction du poinçon 3. La partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 vient en appui contre la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. Le long du bord latéral 21 du flan de tôle 2 est formé un jonc 22 adapté pour bloquer le bord latéral 21 du flan de tôle 2 entre la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 et la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4.On the figure 2 the die 5 of the press 1 starts its descent towards the punch 3. The lateral portion 51 of the die 5 bears against the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4. Along the lateral edge 21 of the sheet blank 2 is formed a rod 22 adapted to block the side edge 21 of the sheet blank 2 between the lateral portion 51 of the die 5 and the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4.

Sur la figure 3, la matrice 5 de la presse 1 continue sa descente en direction du poinçon 3, entraînant avec lui une première phase de descente du serre-flan 4. Durant cette première phase de descente du serre-flan 4, les tiges de poussée 45 du serre-flan 4 commence à être compressées, créant une force de rappel s'opposant à la descente de la matrice 5. Par réaction, la force de serrage du bord latéral 21 du flan de tôle 2 entre la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 et la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4 augmente d'autant. Durant cette deuxième phase de descente, la bielle 6 pivote d'un premier angle α1 faisant coulisser la seconde partie 42 de serre-flan 4, qui forme un piston, contre la première surface d'appui 411 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. Les premiers moyens de rappel 44 sont dans un positionnement dit détendu, faisant que l'extrémité libre de la tige de commande 443 du piston 441 des premiers moyens de rappel 44 n'exercent plus de force de rappel contre la seconde surface d'appui 412 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4.On the figure 3 the die 5 of the press 1 continues its descent towards the punch 3, leading with it a first descent phase of the blank holder 4. During this first descent phase of the blank holder 4, the push rods 45 of the greenhouse -flan 4 begins to be compressed, creating a restoring force opposing the descent of the matrix 5. By reaction, the clamping force of the side edge 21 of the sheet blank 2 between the lateral portion 51 of the die 5 and the first part 41 of the blank holder 4 increases accordingly. During this second descent phase, the connecting rod 6 pivots with a first angle α 1 sliding the second part 42 of the blank holder 4, which forms a piston, against the first bearing surface 411 of the first part 41 of the greenhouse -flan 4. The first return means 44 are in a so-called relaxed positioning, causing the free end of the control rod 443 of the piston 441 of the first return means 44 to no longer exert a restoring force against the second bearing surface 412 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4.

Sur la figure 4, la matrice 5 de la presse 1 est au contact du poinçon 3, permettant à la presse 1 de mettre en forme le flan de tôle 2. Durant cette dernière phase de descente de la matrice 5, l'ensemble partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 et serre-flan 4 se sont écartés d'une distance d1 de la partie centrale 54 de la matrice 5 et du poinçon 3. Cette écartement d1 permet de tendre le flan de tôle 2 durant la phase d'emboutissage. Cet écartement d1 résulte du pivotement de la bielle 6 d'un second angle α2, faisant davantage coulisser la seconde partie 42 de serre-flan 4 contre la première surface d'appui 411 de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. Les premiers moyens de rappel 44 restent dans un positionnement détendu. Dans cette dernière position de la presse 1, le serre-flan 4 est dans sa position basse telle que définie précédemment.On the figure 4 the die 5 of the press 1 is in contact with the punch 3, allowing the press 1 to shape the sheet blank 2. During this last descent phase of the die 5, the lateral portion 51 of the die assembly 5 and blank holder 4 are spaced apart by a distance d 1 from the central portion 54 of the die 5 and the punch 3. This gap d 1 makes it possible to tension the sheet blank 2 during the stamping phase. This spacing d 1 results from the pivoting of the connecting rod 6 by a second angle α 2 , further sliding the second portion 42 of the blank holder 4 against the first bearing surface 411 of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4. The first return means 44 remain in a relaxed position. In this last position of the press 1, the blank holder 4 is in its lower position as defined above.

Les figures 5, 6 et 7 représentent des vues latérales partielles en coupe de la presse lors de différentes étapes de maintenance de la presse selon l'invention.The figures 5 , 6 and 7 represent partial side views in section of the press during different maintenance steps of the press according to the invention.

Sur la figure 5, toute la partie supérieure de la presse est retirée, permettant de faire des opérations de maintenance de la presse 1. Le serre-flan 4 est préalablement positionné en position basse et les tiges de poussé 45 sont partiellement démontées. Comme les premiers moyens de rappel 44 sont dans un positionnement détendu, le retrait de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4 se fait sans modifier le fonctionnement des premiers moyens de rappel 44, simplifiant d'autant le démontage et remontage de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4.On the figure 5 , the entire upper part of the press is removed, allowing maintenance operations of the press 1. The blank holder 4 is previously positioned in the low position and the push rods 45 are partially disassembled. As the first return means 44 are in a relaxed position, the removal of the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 is done without modifying the operation of the first return means 44, thereby simplifying the disassembly and reassembly of the first part. 41 of the blank holder 4.

Sur la figure 6, la partie supérieure de la presse, soit la matrice 5, est remise en position au-dessus du poinçon 3 et du serre-flan 4. Les tiges de poussé 45 ne sont pas encore remontées et l'ensemble de la presse n'est pas encore remis à son emplacement de travail. Durant cette étape de remontage, les seconds moyens de rappel 53 de la matrice 5 positionnent la partie latérale 51 en appui latéral contre la partie centrale 54 de la matrice 5. Le serre-flan 4 est en position basse, faisant que la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4 est espacée de l'écartement d1 de la troisième partie 43 du serre-flan 4. Il en résulte un problème d'alignement de la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 avec le serre-flan 4. Pour corriger un tel alignement, la surface d'appui oblique 522 de la seconde clavette 52 de la parte latérale 51 de la matrice 5 vient en appui contre de la surface d'appui oblique 415 de la première clavette 46 du serre-flan 4. Le coulissement de ces surfaces d'appui obliques 415 et 522 l'une contre l'autre, aligne la parte latérale 51 de la matrice 5 en face de la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4, en s'opposant aux seconds moyens de rappel 53 de la matrice 5.On the figure 6 the upper part of the press, ie the die 5, is put back in position above the punch 3 and the blank holder 4. The push rods 45 are not yet raised and the whole press is not not yet returned to his work site. During this reassembly step, the second return means 53 of the matrix 5 position the lateral part 51 in lateral support against the central portion 54 of the matrix 5. The blank holder 4 is in the lower position, so that the first part 41 of the blank holder 4 is spaced from the spacing d 1 of the third portion 43 of the blank holder 4. This results in a problem of alignment of the lateral portion 51 of the blank with the blank holder 4. To correct such an alignment, the oblique bearing surface 522 of the second key 52 of the lateral portion 51 of the die 5 abuts against the oblique bearing surface 415 of the first key 46 of the blank holder 4. The sliding of these oblique bearing surfaces 415 and 522 against each other, aligns the side portion 51 of the die 5 opposite the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4 , by opposing the second return means 53 of the matrix 5.

Sur la figure 7, la partie latérale 51 de la matrice 5 est correctement alignée avec la première partie 41 du serre-flan 4. L'écartement d1 se retrouve bien entre la partie latérale 51 et la partie centrale 54 de la matrice 5. La presse 1 peut maintenant être repositionnée le long de la chaîne de production.On the figure 7 the lateral portion 51 of the die 5 is correctly aligned with the first portion 41 of the blank holder 4. The gap d 1 is found well between the lateral portion 51 and the central portion 54 of the die 5. The press 1 can now be repositioned along the production line.
