Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an edge bending method and apparatus for subjecting widthwise edges of a steel plate to edge bending several times separately in a longitudinal direction of the steel plate. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method and a facility for manufacturing a steel pipe by forming a steel plate subjected to edge bending into a cylindrical shape, butting the widthwise edges to each other, and joining the butted widthwise edges of the steel plate by welding.
  • a steel plate having a predetermined length, width, and thickness is formed by press working into a cylindrical shape having a pipe axis direction in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, and then the widthwise edges thereof are butt-joined to each other.
  • edge bending (crimping) that imparts a predetermined curvature to the widthwise edges of the steel plate is performed prior to the formation into a cylindrical shape.
  • Such an edge bending is performed in the following manner: a steel plate is arranged between a lower die and an upper die that has a curvature depending on a pipe diameter, and the lower die is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder such that the widthwise edges of the steel plate are pressed against the upper die.
  • a steel plate is arranged between a lower die and an upper die that has a curvature depending on a pipe diameter, and the lower die is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder such that the widthwise edges of the steel plate are pressed against the upper die.
  • the steel plate is longer than the effective length of the dies, the steel plate cannot be pressed across the entire length in a single pressing. Therefore, there has been adopted a method in which bending is performed several times (e.g., three to four times) on the widthwise edges of the steel plate while intermittently feeding the steel plate in the longitudinal direction to perform edge bending across the entire length.

  • the deformation force Df is absent on the delivery side 3 where the steel plate S is absent, while the deformation force Df occurs on the entry side 2 even in a portion that is not positioned on the flat part 24a.

  • the lower die 24 does not contact the steel plate S on the delivery side 3, and the center C3 of the bending deformation force Df is displaced to the entry side 2 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P. Therefore, until the bending deformation occurs on the delivery side 3, the force of rotating the leading end portion of the lower die 24 in the upward direction is applied and the amount of lifting is large on the delivery side 3, so that the edge bending is performed with the lower die 24 being inclined.
  • the delivery end portion of the flat part 24a contacts the portion that has already been subjected to the edge bending, and as illustrated in FIG. 7 for example, the portion of the steel plate that contacts the delivery end portion is deformed at the second edge bending and thus forms a large step with respect to the portion that has been subjected to the first edge bending on the delivery side 3. That is, the edge bending angle is varied between portions adjacent to each other at a feed boundary of the steel plate S. A steep shape change results in discontinuous welding at the relevant portion, thereby generating defect or discontinuation of welding. Therefore, the change of the edge bending angle in the longitudinal direction is desirably smooth (small).
  • the lower die 24 which contacts a surface that is positioned at the outer side of bending of the steel plate to be bent, is provided with a transition part 24b formed of a curved surface adjacent to the flat part 24a on a delivery side 3, and the flat part 24a and the transition part 24b are connected via a common tangent line, as illustrated in FIG. 10 .
  • a step between the portion of the steel plate S subjected to the edge bending in the previous pass and the portion subjected to the edge bending in the subsequent pass can be reduced.
  • the step becomes smoother when the change of the angle of the transition part 24b is small, i.e., the change of curvature is continuous, like an involute curve.
  • a transition part 24c formed of a curved surface may be provided on an entry side 2 of the flat part 24a, and the flat part 24a and the transition part 24c may be connected via a common tangent line.
  • the transition part 24c such that the bending deformation length L (see, for example, FIG. 11 ) on the rear side relative to the rear end of the flat part 24a does not become large.
  • the length and angle variation of the transition part 24c are preferable to be set appropriately in consideration of the above points and the amount of edge bending that varies with the width of the steel plate S.
  • the length or the angle of the transition part 24c can be changed such that the range in which the transition part 24c contacts the steel plate S becomes not more than half the length L over which the bending deformation occurs on the entry side 2.
  • the difference in the edge bending angle between portions adjacent to each other at the feed boundary can be further decreased by reducing the inclination of the lower die 24 during the edge bending, as well as by forming the transition parts 24b and 24c continuously to the flat part 24a on the delivery side 3 and the entry side 2. Therefore, in the edge bending method and apparatus of a steel plate and the method and facility for manufacturing a steel pipe according to the present embodiment, the center C1 of the flat part 24a of the lower die 24 is preferably displaced to the delivery side 3 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P.

  • FIG. 11 illustrates the first edge bending
  • FIG. 12 illustrates the second edge bending. It can be understood that the deformation force Df on the entry side 2 is small and the center C3 of the deformation force Df is positioned close to the center C2 of the pressing force P.
  • the inclination (pitching) of the lower die 24 such that the leading end portion is inclined upward during the edge bending can be suppressed by displacing the center C1 of the flat part 24a to the delivery side 3 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P.
  • the preferable displacement amount d of the center C1 of the flat part 24a with respect to the center C2 of the pressing force P can be determined in the manner described below. As illustrated in FIGS. 8 , 9 , 11 , and 12 , in the case where the bending deformation force Df that occurs on the entry side 2 of the flat part 24a varies substantially lineally, the sum thereof is half the deformation force Df that occurs in the flat part 24a. That is, the deformation force Df is applied on the entry side 2 to the position half a bending deformation length L from the rear end of the flat part 24a (See FIGS. 11 and 12 ).
  • the length L of the bending deformation occurred on the entry side 2 relative to the rear end of the flat part 24a varies with the amount of edge bending.
  • the width of the steel plate is also small. Therefore, the edge bending angle (a difference between the inclination angle in a range of 20 mm at the widthwise edge portion and the inclination angle of the widthwise middle portion) becomes large, and the length L over which the bending deformation occurs on the entry side 2 becomes large.
  • the displacement amount d of the center C1 of the flat part 24a with respect to the center C2 of the pressing force P be appropriately set depending on the width of the steel plate to be subjected to the edge bending. Specifically, it is preferable that the displacement amount d be set large with an increase in the edge bending angle.
  • the deformation force Df applied on the delivery side 3 is increased as the displacement amount d is increased.
  • the amount of lifting on the entry side 2 is increased, so that the amount of edge bending on the entry side 2 is increased. Therefore, it is preferable that the displacement amount d be not more than half the length L over which the bending deformation occurs on the entry side 2.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates the deformation of the steel plate S and the distribution of the deformation force Df in the case where the widthwise edges Sc and Sd of the trailing end portion Sb of the steel plate S are subjected to edge bending (final pass) with the center C1 of the flat part 24a being displaced toward the delivery side 3 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P.
  • the center C3 of the deformation force Df is positioned apart from the center C2 of the pressing force P (displaced to the delivery side 3) as compared with the case of FIGS. 11 and 12 , and the force of rotating the front side of the lower die 24 downward (pitching) is applied to increase the amount of lifting on the entry side 2. Accordingly, it is desirable that the upper limit of the displacement amount d be determined such that the edge bending does not become excessively large at the trailing end portion Sb side of the steel plate S.
  • the lower die 24 of the pair of the dies 23 and 24 includes the flat part 24a that contacts the surface positioned at the outer side of the edge bending of widthwise edges Sc and Sd of the steel plate S to be subjected to edge bending, and the widthwise edges Sc and Sd of the steel plate S are subjected to edge bending with the center C1 of the flat part 24a in the conveyance direction 1 being displaced to the delivery side 3 in the conveyance direction 1 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P generated by the hydraulic cylinders 26 in the conveyance direction 1, so that the center C3 of the deformation force Df moves closer to the center C2 of the pressing force P.
  • shifting of the center C1 of the flat part 24a relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P can be achieved without introduction of a new facility, for example, by displacing the lower die 24 to the delivery side 3 in the conveyance direction 1 relative to the tool holder 25 and the hydraulic cylinders 26 or by displacing the hydraulic cylinders 26 to the entry side 2 in the conveyance direction 1 relative to the lower die 24 in an existing facility.

  • the leading end portion Sa of the steel plate S lies on the delivery side 3 relative to the leading end portion of the flat part 24a, the portions where the tab plates St are welded are bent insufficiently and welding is discontinuous at a transition portion from the tab plates St to the steel plate S. Therefore, it is preferable that the position of the leading end portion Sa of the steel plate S be in a position not exceeding the leading end portion of the flat part 24a.
  • the trailing end portion Sb of the steel plate S is positioned to the front of the rear end portion of the flat part 24a in the final (final pass) edge bending, the bending deformation force Df does not occur on the entry side 2 relative to the trailing end portion Sb of the steel plate S.
  • the center C3 of the deformation force Df is displaced to the delivery side 3 relative to the center C2 of the pressing force P.
