Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Formbacke eines Rundknetwerkzeugs zum Umformen eines plastisch verformbaren, vorzugsweise metallischen, Werkstücks,

  • mit einem Backengrundkörper sowie
  • mit einer die Formbacke an einer Werkstückseite der Formbacke begrenzenden und zur Umformung eines Werkstücks ausgebildeten formgebenden Fläche.
The invention relates to a molding jaw of a rotary swaging tool for forming a plastically deformable, preferably metallic, workpiece,
  • with a jaw base body as well
  • with a shaping surface delimiting the molding jaw on a workpiece side of the molding jaw and designed for forming a workpiece.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Rundknetwerkzeug mit Formbacken der vorgenannten Art.The invention also relates to a rotary swaging tool with molding jaws of the aforementioned type.

Gemäß DIN 8583 handelt es sich beim Rundkneten um ein Verfahren des Druckumformens, im Einzelnen des Freiformens. Ein Rundknetwerkzeug weist Formbacken auf, die an einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines umzuformenden Werkstücks angeordnet sind und die zur Umformung des Werkstücks mit gegeneinander gerichteten Bewegungen in radialer Richtung der Werkstückachse bewegt werden. Dabei beaufschlagen die Formbacken das Werkstück mit formgebenden Flächen, deren Geometrie auf die zu fertigende Werkstückgeometrie abgestimmt ist und an denen die erforderlichen Umformkräfte in das Werkstück eingeleitet werden. Bei ihren Bewegungen in radialer Richtung der Werkstückachse sind die Formbacken in schlitzförmigen Aussparungen einer Welle eines mit dem Rundknetwerkzeug versehenen Knetwerks geführt. An der von dem Werkstück abliegenden Seite der Formbacken befinden sich Ausgleichsplatten oder relativ zu den Formbacken bewegliche Keile, mittels derer die Formbacken in radialer Richtung der Werkstückachse zugestellt werden können.According to DIN 8583, rotary swaging is a pressure forming process, specifically free forming. A rotary swaging tool has mold jaws which are arranged on opposite sides of a workpiece to be formed and which are moved in the radial direction of the workpiece axis with mutually directed movements in order to form the workpiece. The mold jaws apply shaping to the workpiece Surfaces whose geometry is coordinated with the workpiece geometry to be manufactured and where the required forming forces are introduced into the workpiece. During their movements in the radial direction of the workpiece axis, the mold jaws are guided in slot-shaped recesses in a shaft of a kneading machine provided with the rotary kneading tool. On the side of the mold jaws remote from the workpiece there are compensating plates or wedges that are movable relative to the mold jaws, by means of which the mold jaws can be advanced in the radial direction of the workpiece axis.

Gattungsgemäßer Stand der Technik ist offenbart in DE 20 2009 003 703 U1 . Dieses Dokument betrifft ein Rundknetwerkzeug mit Formbacken, die einen Grundkörper und eine mit dem Grundkörper einteilig und materialeinheitlich ausgeführte formgebende Fläche zur Beaufschlagung eines umzuformenden Werkstücks aufweisen.Generic prior art is disclosed in DE 20 2009 003 703 U1 . This document relates to a rotary swaging tool with molding jaws which have a base body and a shaping surface that is made in one piece with the base body and made of the same material for acting on a workpiece to be formed.

Aufgrund der einteiligen und materialeinheitlichen Ausführung weisen die vorbekannten Formbacken in ihrer Gesamtheit hochwertige Materialeigenschaften auf, die insbesondere für eine funktionssichere Einleitung der aufzubringenden Umformkräfte in das zu bearbeitende Werkstück erforderlich sind. In entsprechenden Anwendungsfällen sind die vorbekannten Formbacken aus Hartmetall gefertigt. Aufgrund ihrer durchgängig hochwertigen Materialeigenschaften sind die vorbekannten Formbacken verhältnismäßig kostspielig. Außerdem sind die Materialeigenschaften der Formbacken vorrangig auf deren Umformfunktion abgestimmt. Etwa eine entsprechend bemessene Härte der vorbekannten Formbacken ist aber insofern von Nachteil, als sie einen verhältnismäßig starken Verschleiß bei Relativbewegungen der Formbacken und damit in Kontakt befindlicher Bauteile, insbesondere an Keilen zur radialen Verstellung der Formbacken, verursacht.Due to the one-piece and uniform material design, the previously known mold jaws as a whole have high-quality material properties, which are particularly necessary for a functionally reliable introduction of the forming forces to be applied into the workpiece to be machined. In corresponding applications, the previously known mold jaws are made of hard metal. Due to their consistently high-quality material properties, the previously known mold jaws are relatively expensive. In addition, the material properties of the mold jaws are primarily tailored to their forming function. However, a correspondingly dimensioned hardness of the previously known mold jaws is disadvantageous in that it causes relatively strong wear during relative movements of the mold jaws and components in contact with them, in particular on wedges for radial adjustment of the mold jaws.

Die vorstehenden Nachteile zu vermeiden, ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung.The object of the present invention is to avoid the above disadvantages.

Erfindungsgemäß gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Formbacke gemäß Patentanspruch 1 und durch das Rundknetwerkzeug gemäß Patentanspruch 15.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the molding jaw according to claim 1 and by the rotary swaging tool according to claim 15.

Im Falle der Erfindung ist die formgebende Fläche der Formbacke an einem von dem Backengrundkörper der Formbacke baulich getrennten Formkörper vorgesehen. Infolge der baulichen Trennung können der Backengrundkörper und der Formkörper der Formbacke unabhängig voneinander konfiguriert werden. Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, den Backengrundkörper und den Formkörper aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen zu fertigen. Als Werkstoff für den Formkörper wird Hartmetall bevorzugt, während für den Backengrundkörper ein weniger abrasiver und/oder ein geringerwertiger und folglich kostengünstigerer Werkstoff wie etwa gehärteter Stahl oder pulvermetallurgischer SPM Stahl in Frage kommt.In the case of the invention, the shaping surface of the mold jaw is provided on a mold body that is structurally separate from the jaw base body of the mold jaw. As a result of the structural separation, the jaw base body and the molded body of the mold jaw can be configured independently of one another. In particular, it is possible to manufacture the jaw base body and the shaped body from different materials. Hard metal is preferred as the material for the molded body, while a less abrasive and/or a lower quality and therefore more cost-effective material such as hardened steel or powder metallurgical SPM steel is suitable for the jaw base body.

Besondere Ausführungsarten der Formbacke gemäß Patentanspruch 1 und des Rundknetwerkzeugs gemäß Patentanspruch 15 ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen 2 bis 14.Special embodiments of the molding jaw according to claim 1 and the rotary swaging tool according to claim 15 result from the dependent claims 2 to 14.

Im Falle der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 2 ist der Formkörper in eine hierfür vorgesehene Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers eingepasst und dadurch gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper definiert und vorzugsweise spielfrei positioniert.In the case of the inventive design according to claim 2, the molded body is fitted into a receptacle provided for this purpose in the jaw base body and is thereby defined relative to the jaw base body and preferably positioned without play.

Die Einpassung des Formkörpers in den Backengrundkörper kann eine spielfreie Lagerung des Formkörpers an dem Backengrundkörper allseitig oder nur in einzelnen Richtungen bewirken.The fit of the molded body into the jaw base body can bring about a play-free mounting of the molded body on the jaw base body on all sides or only in individual directions.

Zur Fixierung des Formkörpers an dem Backengrundkörper dient in weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wenigstens ein Sicherungselement, das einerseits an der Außenseite des Formkörpers anliegt und andererseits mit dem Backengrundkörper verbunden ist (Patentanspruch 3). Infolge der Lagerung an der Außenseite des Formkörpers bedarf es zu dessen Fixierung keiner aufwändigen Bearbeitung des Formkörpers. Insbesondere müssen in den Formkörper keine Befestigungsbohrungen eingebracht werden, deren Herstellung sich aufgrund der Härte des Formkörperwerkstoffs aufwändig gestalten würde.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one securing element is used to fix the molded body to the jaw base body, which on the one hand rests on the outside of the molded body and on the other hand is connected to the jaw base body (claim 3). As a result of the storage on the outside of the molded body, no complex processing of the molded body is required to fix it. In particular, no fastening holes need to be made in the molded body, the production of which would be complicated due to the hardness of the molded body material.

Patentanspruch 4 betrifft eine erfindungsgemäß bevorzugte Anordnung des zur Fixierung des Formkörpers an dem Backengrundkörper dienenden Sicherungselements. Aufgrund der Anordnung in einem Spalt zwischen einer Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers einerseits und dem Formkörper andererseits bildet das Sicherungselement an der Werkstückseite der Formbacke keine Störkontur aus, die eine Werkstückbearbeitung behindern könnte. Für eine spielfreie Lagerung des Formkörpers an dem Backengrundkörper kann zusätzlich zu dem Sicherungselement eine entsprechende Einpassung des Formkörpers in den Backengrundkörper sorgen. Denkbar ist beispielsweise, dass das oder die Sicherungselemente eine spielfreie Lagerung des Formkörpers in dessen Längsrichtung und senkrecht zu dem Grund der Aufnahme bewirken und dass die Einpassung des Formkörpers in den Backengrundkörper zur spielfreien Lagerung des Formkörpers in dessen Querrichtung parallel zu dem Grund der Aufnahme vorgesehen ist.Claim 4 relates to an arrangement preferred according to the invention of the securing element used to fix the molded body to the jaw base body. Due to the arrangement in a gap between a wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body on the one hand and the molded body on the other hand, the securing element does not form an interfering contour on the workpiece side of the mold jaw that could hinder workpiece machining. In addition to the securing element, a corresponding fit of the shaped body into the jaw base body can ensure a play-free storage of the molded body on the jaw base body. It is conceivable, for example, that the securing element(s) effect a play-free storage of the molded body in its longitudinal direction and perpendicular to the base of the receptacle and that the fitting of the molded body into the jaw base body is provided for play-free storage of the molded body in its transverse direction parallel to the base of the receptacle .

Grundsätzlich kann der Formkörper der erfindungsgemäßen Formbacke mit dem Backengrundkörper fest verbunden sein. Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt wird eine lösbare Verbindung des Formkörpers mit dem Backengrundkörper (Patentanspruch 5). Aufgrund dieses Erfindungsmerkmals besteht beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, einen verschlissenen Formkörper mit geringem Aufwand gegen einen neuen Formkörper auszuwechseln. Außerdem lassen sich bei wechselnden Bearbeitungsaufgaben auf einfache Weise an ein und demselben Backengrundkörper Formkörper mit unterschiedlichen Geometrien der formgebenden Fläche anbringen.In principle, the molded body of the molded jaw according to the invention can be firmly connected to the jaw base body. According to the invention, a detachable connection of the molded body to the jaw base body is preferred (claim 5). Due to this feature of the invention, it is possible, for example, to replace a worn shaped body with a new shaped body with little effort. In addition, when changing processing tasks, moldings with different geometries of the shaping surface can be easily attached to one and the same jaw base body.

Zur lösbaren Verbindung des Formkörpers mit dem Backengrundkörper dient im Falle der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 6 eine das Sicherungselement durchsetzende Befestigungsschraube, die in den Grund der für den Formkörper vorgesehenen Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers eingeschraubt ist. Mittels der Befestigungsschraube wird das Sicherungselement in einer Position fixiert, in welcher das Sicherungselement dem Formkörper seitlich gegenüberliegt. Infolge einer keilartigen Ausbildung des Sicherungselements und/oder des Formkörpers an den einander zugewandten Flächen bewirkt das Sicherungselement zum einen an der von dem Sicherungselement abliegenden Seite des Formkörpers eine Anlage, insbesondere eine Abstützung, des Formkörpers an der Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers und somit eine senkrecht zu der Gewindeachse der Befestigungsschraube spielfreie Lagerung des Formkörpers an der Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers. Zum anderen verhindert die Befestigungsschraube im Zusammenwirken mit dem Sicherungselement ein Abheben des Formkörpers von dem Grund der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers.In the case of the inventive design according to claim 6, a fastening screw passing through the securing element is used to releasably connect the molded body to the jaw base body and is screwed into the base of the receptacle of the jaw base body provided for the molded body. By means of the fastening screw, the securing element is fixed in a position in which the securing element lies laterally opposite the shaped body. As a result of a wedge-like design of the securing element and/or the shaped body on the mutually facing surfaces, the securing element causes, on the one hand, a contact, in particular a support, of the shaped body on the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body on the side of the shaped body remote from the securing element and thus vertically to the thread axis of the fastening screw, play-free storage of the molded body on the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body. On the other hand, the fastening screw, in cooperation with the securing element, prevents the molded body from lifting off from the base of the jaw base body.

Zur Fixierung des Formkörpers wird das Sicherungselement durch Einschrauben der Befestigungsschraube in die Gewindeöffnung des Backengrundkörpers relativ zu dem Formkörper längs der Gewindeachse mit einer Zustellbewegung in Richtung auf den Grund der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers bewegt. Aufgrund der Zustellbewegung des Sicherungselements und der keilförmigen Ausbildung des Formkörpers und/oder des Sicherungselements wird der Formkörper dabei mittels des Sicherungselements an der von dem Sicherungselement abliegenden Seite an die Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers spielfrei angelegt, vorzugsweise gegen die Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers vorgespannt.To fix the molded body, the securing element is moved by screwing the fastening screw into the threaded opening of the jaw base body relative to the molded body along the thread axis with an infeed movement in the direction of the base of the jaw base body. Due to the infeed movement of the securing element and the wedge-shaped design of the shaped body and/or the securing element, the shaped body is placed against the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body without play by means of the securing element on the side remote from the securing element, preferably biased against the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ausweislich Patentanspruch 7 vorgesehen, dass der Formkörper an der von dem Sicherungselement abliegenden Seite des Formkörpers einen Rand einer Öffnung der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers parallel zu dem Grund der Aufnahme hintergreift. Aufgrund dieses Erfindungsmerkmals ist der an dem Backengrundkörper montierte Formkörper auch an seiner von dem Sicherungselement abliegenden Seite formschlüssig gegen ein Abheben von dem Grund der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers gesichert. In bevorzugter Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das den Rand der Öffnung der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers hintergreifende Ende des Formkörpers eine Begrenzungsfläche auf, die gegen den Grund der Aufnahme geneigt verläuft und der eine gleichsinnig geneigte Schrägfläche des Backengrundkörpers gegenüberliegt. An den einander gegenüberliegenden Schrägflächen kann der Formkörper gegen den Backengrundkörper vorgespannt sein.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, according to claim 7, the molded body engages behind an edge of an opening in the receptacle of the jaw base body parallel to the base of the receptacle on the side of the molded body remote from the securing element. Due to this feature of the invention, the molded body mounted on the jaw base body is also secured in a form-fitting manner on its side remote from the securing element against lifting off from the base of the base of the jaw base body. In a preferred development of the invention, the end of the shaped body which engages behind the edge of the opening of the receptacle of the jaw base body has a boundary surface which is inclined towards the base of the receptacle and which is opposite an inclined surface of the jaw base body which is inclined in the same direction. The shaped body can be prestressed against the jaw base body on the mutually opposite inclined surfaces.

Die erfindungsgemäße Formbacke gemäß Patentanspruch 8 kann flexibel für unterschiedliche Anwendungsfälle konfiguriert werden. Die erfindungsgemäß bestehende Möglichkeit zur Umorientierung des Formkörpers gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper kann beispielsweise zur Optimierung der Übertragung der Kräfte genutzt werden, die an der formgebenden Fläche des Formkörpers bei der Werkstückbearbeitung anwendungsbezogen wirken und die von der Formbacke in den Backengrundkörper abzutragen sind. Bevorzugtermaßen ist der Formkörper bei seiner zweiten Ausrichtung gegenüber seiner ersten Ausrichtung um 180° um eine Achse gedreht, die senkrecht zu dem Grund der für den Formkörper vorgesehenen Aufnahme an dem Backengrundkörper verläuftThe mold jaw according to the invention according to claim 8 can be flexibly configured for different applications. The possibility according to the invention of reorienting the molded body relative to the jaw base body can be used, for example, to optimize the transmission of forces which have an application-related effect on the shaping surface of the molded body during workpiece processing and which are to be removed from the mold jaw into the jaw base body. Preferably, in its second orientation, the molded body is rotated by 180° relative to its first orientation about an axis which runs perpendicular to the base of the receptacle provided for the molded body on the jaw base body

Zur Fixierung des Formkörpers mit zwei unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper bestehen erfindungsgemäß mehrere Möglichkeiten.According to the invention, there are several options for fixing the molded body with two different orientations relative to the jaw base body.

Im Falle der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 9 wird der Formkörper mit der ersten Ausrichtung wie zu Patentanspruch 6 beschrieben an dem Backengrundkörper angebracht. Zur Umorientierung des Formkörpers wird diese Verbindung zwischen dem Formkörper und dem Backengrundkörper gelöst und der Formkörper wird gegenüber der ersten Ausrichtung vorzugsweise um 180° gedreht. An derjenigen Seite der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers, an welcher bei der ersten Ausrichtung des Formkörpers das Sicherungselement für die erste Ausrichtung angeordnet war, wird der Formkörper nun an die Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers angelegt. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers ist in einem Spalt zwischen dem um 180° gedrehten Formkörper und der Wand der Aufnahme das Sicherungselement für die zweite Ausrichtung angeordnet und mittels der Befestigungsschraube für die zweite Ausrichtung mit dem Backengrundkörper verschraubt. Die Befestigungsschraube für die zweite Ausrichtung ist zu diesem Zweck in eine in den Grund der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers mündende Gewindeöffnung für die zweite Ausrichtung eingedreht. Die Gewindeöffnung für die zweite Ausrichtung des Formkörpers ist von der Gewindeöffnung für die erste Ausrichtung des Formkörpers in Längsrichtung des Formkörpers beabstandet.In the case of the inventive design according to claim 9, the molded body is attached to the jaw base body with the first orientation as described in claim 6. To reorient the molded body, this connection between the molded body and the jaw base body is released and the molded body is preferably rotated by 180° compared to the first orientation. On the side of the receptacle of the jaw base body on which the securing element for the first alignment was arranged during the first alignment of the molded body, the molded body is now placed against the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body. On the opposite side of the receptacle of the jaw base body, the securing element for the second alignment is arranged in a gap between the shaped body rotated through 180 ° and the wall of the receptacle and is screwed to the jaw base body by means of the fastening screw for the second alignment. For this purpose, the fastening screw for the second alignment is screwed into a threaded opening for the second alignment that opens into the base of the jaw base body. The threaded opening for the second orientation of the shaped body is spaced from the threaded opening for the first orientation of the shaped body in the longitudinal direction of the shaped body.

Bevorzugtermaßen wird der Formkörper mit der zweiten Ausrichtung gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper mit Hilfe des gleichen Sicherungselements und/oder mit Hilfe der gleichen Befestigungsschraube an dem Backengrundkörper befestigt wie mit der ersten Ausrichtung (Patentanspruch 10).Preferably, the shaped body is fastened to the jaw base body with the second orientation relative to the jaw base body with the aid of the same securing element and/or with the aid of the same fastening screw as with the first orientation (claim 10).

Abweichend von der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 9 wird im Falle der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 11 zur Fixierung des Formkörpers mit der zweiten Ausrichtung dieselbe Gewindeöffnung an dem Grund des Backengrundkörpers genutzt wie zur Fixierung des Formkörpers mit der ersten Ausrichtung. In beiden Einbaulagen an dem Backengrundkörper wird der Formkörper wie zu Patentanspruch 6 beschrieben fixiert. Je nach Orientierung des Formkörpers wirkt das Sicherungselement mit der ersten oder mit der zweiten formkörperseitigen Fläche zusammen.Deviating from the inventive design according to claim 9, in the case of the inventive design according to patent claim 11, the same threaded opening on the base of the jaw base body is used to fix the shaped body with the second orientation as for fixing the shaped body with the first orientation. In both installation positions on the jaw base body, the molded body is fixed as described in claim 6. Depending on the orientation of the shaped body, the securing element interacts with the first or with the second surface on the shaped body side.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden zur Verbindung des Formkörpers mit dem Backengrundkörper zwei Sicherungselemente verwendet, die an den beiden Längsenden des Formkörpers jeweils in einem Spalt zwischen dem Formkörper und der Wand der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers angeordnet sind (Patentanspruch 12). An jeder der beiden Befestigungsstellen ist der Formkörper in der zu Patentanspruch 6 beschriebenen Weise lösbar mit dem Backengrundkörper verbunden.In a further embodiment of the invention, two securing elements are used to connect the molded body to the jaw base body, which are arranged at the two longitudinal ends of the molded body in a gap between the molded body and the wall of the receptacle of the jaw base body (claim 12). At each of the two attachment points, the molded body is releasably connected to the jaw base body in the manner described in claim 6.

Eine Montage des Formkörpers mit zwei unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper im Sinne von Patentanspruch 8 wird in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Formbacke gemäß Patentanspruch 12 dadurch ermöglicht, dass sowohl die formkörperseitige Fläche als auch die weitere formkörperseitige Fläche zum Zusammenwirken mit dem ersten Sicherungselement und dem weiteren Sicherungselement ausgebildet ist (Patentanspruch 13).An assembly of the molded body with two different orientations relative to the jaw base body in the sense of patent claim 8 is made possible in a preferred embodiment of the molded jaw according to patent claim 12 in that both the molded body-side surface and the further molded body-side surface are designed to cooperate with the first securing element and the further securing element is (patent claim 13).

Zur Vereinfachung der Demontage des Formkörpers ist der Backengrundkörper der Erfindungsbauart gemäß Patentanspruch 14 mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung versehen, die unter dem Formkörper in den Grund der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers mündet. Bei Bedarf kann der Formkörper mittels eines entsprechend ausgebildeten stiftartigen Werkzeugs durch die Durchtrittsöffnung hindurch an seiner Unterseite beaufschlagt und dadurch aus der Aufnahme des Backengrundkörpers ausgehoben werden.To simplify the dismantling of the molded body, the jaw base body of the inventive design according to claim 14 is provided with a passage opening which opens under the molded body into the base of the receptacle of the jaw base body. If necessary, the underside of the molded body can be acted upon by means of a correspondingly designed pin-like tool through the passage opening and thereby lifted out of the receptacle of the jaw base body.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Durchtrittsöffnung an dem Backengrundkörper mit einem Gewinde versehen. Durch die sich damit ergebende Gewindeöffnung kann zum Lösen der Formbacke eine Schraube gedreht und dadurch auf die Unterseite der Formbacke eine betragsmäßig große Lösekraft ausgeübt werden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the passage opening on the jaw base body is provided with a thread. A screw can be turned through the resulting thread opening to loosen the mold jaw and thereby a large releasing force can be exerted on the underside of the mold jaw.

Gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 weist ein Knetwerk 1 einer Rundknetmaschine zum Umformen von plastisch verformbaren metallischen Rohren ein Rundknetwerkzeug 2 mit insgesamt vier Formbacken 3 auf. Ein umzuformendes Rohr ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 mit einer Rohrachse 4 angedeutet.According to the Figures 1 and 2 a kneading unit 1 of a rotary kneading machine for forming plastically deformable metallic pipes has a rotary kneading tool 2 with a total of four mold jaws 3. A pipe to be formed is in the Figures 1 and 2 indicated with a pipe axis 4.

Die Formbacken 3 liegen einander paarweise gegenüber. Zur Umformung eines Rohrs werden die Formbacken 3 jedes der Formbackenpaare in radialer Richtung der Rohrachse 4 gegeneinander bewegt.The mold jaws 3 lie opposite each other in pairs. To form a tube, the forming jaws 3 of each pair of forming jaws are moved against one another in the radial direction of the tube axis 4.

Bei ihren Bewegungen in radialer Richtung der Rohrachse 4 sind die Formbacken 3 in Führungsschlitzen 5 einer Backenführung geführt, die an einem Ende einer Welle 6 des Knetwerks 1 vorgesehen ist.During their movements in the radial direction of the tube axis 4, the mold jaws 3 are guided in guide slots 5 of a jaw guide which is provided at one end of a shaft 6 of the kneading machine 1.

In gewohnter Weise wird die Umformbewegung der Formbacken 3 in Richtung auf ein umzuformendes Werkstück durch eine um die Rohrachse 4 ausgeführte Relativbewegung der Welle 6 und eines die Welle 6 umgebenden Rollenkäfigs 7 erzeugt. Der Rollenkäfig 7 wird von einem Verschleißring 8 umschlossen.In the usual way, the forming movement of the mold jaws 3 in the direction of a workpiece to be formed is generated by a relative movement of the shaft 6 and a roller cage 7 surrounding the shaft 6 around the tube axis 4. The roller cage 7 is surrounded by a wear ring 8.

Der Antrieb der Formbacken 3 in Richtung auf die Rohrachse 4 erfolgt über Stößel 9, die gleichfalls in den Führungsschlitzen 5 der Welle 6 in radialer Richtung der Rohrachse 4 beweglich geführt sind. An der von den Formbacken 3 abliegenden Seite sind die Stößel 9 mit einem Stößelkopf 10 versehen, der an der von den Formbacken 3 weg weisenden Seite kurvenförmig verläuft.The shaping jaws 3 are driven in the direction of the tube axis 4 via plungers 9, which are also movably guided in the guide slots 5 of the shaft 6 in the radial direction of the tube axis 4. On the side remote from the mold jaws 3, the plungers 9 are provided with a plunger head 10 which runs in a curve on the side facing away from the mold jaws 3.

Infolge der Relativ-Drehbewegung der Welle 6 und des Rollenkäfigs 7 des Knetwerks 1 kommt der Stößelkopf 10 der Stößel 9 mit seinem höchsten Punkt abwechselnd direkt unter einer Rolle 11 des Rollenkäfigs 7 und zwischen zwei Rollen 11 des Rollenkäfigs 7 zu liegen. Sind die Stößelköpfe 10 der Stößel 9 mit ihrem höchsten Punkt direkt unter einer Rolle 11 angeordnet, so ist das Rundknetwerkzeug 2 geschlossen. Befinden sich die Stößelköpfe 10 der Stößel 9 zwischen zwei Rollen 11, so ist das Rundknetwerkzeug 2 geöffnet.As a result of the relative rotational movement of the shaft 6 and the roller cage 7 of the kneading unit 1, the ram head 10 of the ram 9 comes to lie with its highest point alternately directly under a roller 11 of the roller cage 7 and between two rollers 11 of the roller cage 7. If the plunger heads 10 of the plunger 9 are arranged with their highest point directly under a roller 11, the rotary swaging tool 2 is closed. If the plunger heads 10 of the plunger 9 are between two rollers 11, the rotary swaging tool 2 is open.

Die Bewegungen der Formbacken 3 aus dem geöffneten in den geschlossenen Zustand werden gegen die Wirkung einer Rückstellkraft ausgeführt, aufgrund derer sich die Formbacken 3 selbsttätig aus dem geschlossenen zurück in den geöffneten Zustand bewegen.The movements of the mold jaws 3 from the open to the closed state are carried out against the effect of a restoring force, due to which the mold jaws 3 automatically move from the closed back to the open state.

Zur Einstellung der Hublage der Formbacken 3 bei geschlossenem Rundknetwerkzug 2 dienen Keile 12, die zwischen jeder der Formbacken 3 und dem zugehörigen Stößel 9 angeordnet sind. Zur Veränderung der Endposition der Formbacken 3 in radialer Richtung der Rohrachse 4 werden die Keile 12 senkrecht zu der Zeichenebene von Figur 1 relativ zu den Formbacken 3 und den Stößeln 9 zugestellt.Wedges 12, which are arranged between each of the mold jaws 3 and the associated plunger 9, are used to adjust the stroke position of the mold jaws 3 when the rotary kneading tool 2 is closed. To change the end position of the mold jaws 3 in the radial direction of the tube axis 4, the wedges 12 are perpendicular to the drawing plane of Figure 1 delivered relative to the mold jaws 3 and the plungers 9.

Eine der vier baugleichen Formbacken 3 des Rundknetwerkzeugs 2 gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 ist in Figur 3 im Einzelnen dargestellt. Die Formbacke 3 weist einen Backengrundkörper 13 und einen von dem Backengrundkörper 13 bauteilmäßig getrennten Formkörper 14 auf. Der Backengrundkörper 13 besteht in dem gezeigten Beispielsfall aus SPM Stahl, der Formkörper 14 aus Hartmetall.One of the four identical mold jaws 3 of the rotary swaging tool 2 according to Figures 1 and 2 is in Figure 3 presented in detail. The mold jaw 3 has a jaw base body 13 and a mold body 14 that is structurally separate from the jaw base body 13. In the example shown, the jaw base body 13 is made of SPM steel, the shaped body 14 is made of hard metal.

Der Formkörper 14 ist an einer Werkstückseite mit einer zur Umformung eines Rohrs ausgebildeten formgebenden Fläche 15 versehen.The shaped body 14 is provided on one side of the workpiece with a shaping surface 15 designed for forming a tube.

Die hier dargestellte Formbacke 3 ist zum Vorschubrundkneten ausgelegt. Der Formkörper 14 weist eine Einlaufseite 16 sowie eine in Längsrichtung des Formkörpers 14 auf die Einlaufseite 16 folgende Auslaufseite 17 auf. An der Einlaufseite 16 ist die formgebende Fläche 15 als Einlaufkonus 18 ausgebildet. Auf den Einlaufkonus 18 folgt in Längsrichtung des Formkörpers 14 eine Kalibrierstrecke 19 der formgebenden Fläche 15.The mold jaw 3 shown here is designed for feed rotary kneading. The shaped body 14 has an inlet side 16 and an outlet side 17 following the inlet side 16 in the longitudinal direction of the shaped body 14. On the inlet side 16, the shaping surface 15 is designed as an inlet cone 18. The inlet cone 18 is followed in the longitudinal direction of the shaped body 14 by a calibration section 19 of the shaping surface 15.

Mit dem Backengrundkörper 13 ist der Formkörper 14 mittels einer Befestigungsschraube 20 lösbar verbunden. Einzelheiten der lösbaren Verbindung von Backengrundkörper 13 und Formkörper 14 sind Figur 4 zu entnehmen.The molded body 14 is releasably connected to the jaw base body 13 by means of a fastening screw 20. Details of the detachable connection of the jaw base body 13 and the molded body 14 are Figure 4 refer to.

Ausweislich Figur 4 ist der Formkörper 14 in eine hierfür vorgesehene Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 eingepasst. Eine Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 ist dem Formkörper 14 in Figur 4 an zwei Längsseiten und an der in Figur 4 rechten Querseite des Formkörpers 14 unmittelbar benachbart. Mit seinen Längsseiten ist der Formkörper 14 an der Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 ohne weiteres spielfrei gelagert. Eine spielfreie Lagerung des Formkörpers 14 an seiner in Figur 4 rechten und an seiner in Figur 4 linken Querseite wird mittels eines Sicherungselements 23 bewirkt, das an dem linken Längsende des Formkörpers 14 in einem Spalt zwischen der Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 an dem Backengrundkörper 13 einerseits und dem Formkörper 14 andererseits angeordnet ist.Evidently Figure 4 the molded body 14 is fitted into a receptacle 21 provided for this purpose in the jaw base body 13. A wall 22 of the receptacle 21 is the molded body 14 in Figure 4 on two long sides and on the in Figure 4 immediately adjacent to the right transverse side of the shaped body 14. With its long sides, the shaped body 14 is easily mounted on the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 without any play. A play-free storage of the shaped body 14 at its in Figure 4 right and on his in Figure 4 left transverse side is effected by means of a securing element 23, which is arranged on the left longitudinal end of the molded body 14 in a gap between the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 on the jaw base body 13 on the one hand and the molded body 14 on the other hand.

Das Sicherungselement 23 wird längs einer in Querrichtung eines Grunds 24 der Aufnahme 21 verlaufenden Gewindeachse 25 der Befestigungsschraube 20 von der Befestigungsschraube 20 durchsetzt. An der von dem Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 abliegenden Seite des Sicherungselements 23 übergreift die Befestigungsschraube 20 das Sicherungselement 23 mit einem Schraubenkopf 26 senkrecht zu der Gewindeachse 25. Mit ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende ist die Befestigungsschraube 20 in eine in den Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 mündende und mit der Befestigungsschraube 20 koaxiale Gewindeöffnung bzw. Gewindebohrung 27 des Backengrundkörpers 13 eingeschraubt.The securing element 23 is penetrated by the fastening screw 20 along a thread axis 25 of the fastening screw 20 which runs in the transverse direction of a base 24 of the receptacle 21. On the basis of reason 24 of the recording 21 opposite side of the securing element 23, the fastening screw 20 engages over the securing element 23 with a screw head 26 perpendicular to the thread axis 25. With its opposite end, the fastening screw 20 opens into the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 and is coaxial with the fastening screw 20 Threaded opening or threaded hole 27 of the jaw base body 13 is screwed in.

Das Sicherungselement 23 und der Formkörper 14 liegen mit einer sicherungselementseitigen Fläche 28 und einer formkörperseitigen Fläche 29 einander gegenüber. Im Bereich ihres gegenseitigen Kontakts sind das Sicherungselement 23 und der Formkörper 14 keilartig ausgebildet. Dementsprechend verlaufen die sicherungselementseitige Fläche 28 und die formkörperseitige Fläche 29 längs der Gewindeachse 25 gegen die Gewindeachse 25 geneigt, wobei sich sowohl die sicherungselementseitige Fläche 28 als auch die formkörperseitige Fläche 29 zu dem Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 hin an die Gewindeachse 25 annähern.The securing element 23 and the shaped body 14 lie opposite one another with a surface 28 on the securing element side and a surface 29 on the shaped body side. In the area of their mutual contact, the securing element 23 and the shaped body 14 are wedge-shaped. Accordingly, the surface 28 on the securing element side and the surface 29 on the shaped body side are inclined along the thread axis 25 against the thread axis 25, with both the surface 28 on the securing element side and the surface 29 on the shaped body side approaching the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 towards the thread axis 25 .

Aufgrund der keilartigen Geometrie des Sicherungselements 23 und des Formkörpers 14 im Bereich ihres gegenseitigen Kontakts wird der Formkörper 14 mittels des Sicherungselements 23 an der von dem Sicherungselement 23 abliegenden Seite gegen die Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 vorgespannt und dadurch in Längsrichtung des Formkörpers 14 spielfrei an dem Backengrundkörper 13 gelagert. In Gegenrichtung ist der Formkörper 14 über das Sicherungselement 23 spielfrei an der Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 abgestützt. Gleichzeitig wird der Formkörper 14 durch das Sicherungselement 23 gegen den Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 gedrückt.Due to the wedge-like geometry of the securing element 23 and the shaped body 14 in the area of their mutual contact, the shaped body 14 is prestressed by means of the securing element 23 on the side remote from the securing element 23 against the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 and thereby in the longitudinal direction of the shaped body 14 stored on the jaw base body 13 without play. In the opposite direction, the shaped body 14 is supported without play on the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 via the securing element 23. At the same time, the shaped body 14 is pressed against the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 by the securing element 23.

Wie in Figur 4 ebenfalls zu erkennen ist, weist der Backengrundkörper 13 mit Abstand von der Gewindebohrung 27 eine unter dem Formkörper 14 in den Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 mündende Durchtrittsöffnung 30 auf. Die Durchtrittsöffnung 30 wird bei der Demontage des Formkörpers 14 genutzt. Nach dem Lösen der Befestigungsschraube 20 und dem Entfernen des Sicherungselements 23 wird die Unterseite des Formkörpers 14 durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 30 hindurch mit einem stiftartigen Werkzeug beaufschlagt. Aufgrund der Beaufschlagung durch das stiftartige Werkzeug wird der Formkörper 14 aus der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 ausgehoben.As in Figure 4 can also be seen, the jaw base body 13 has, at a distance from the threaded bore 27, a passage opening 30 which opens under the molded body 14 into the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13. The passage opening 30 is used when dismantling the molded body 14. After loosening the fastening screw 20 and removing the securing element 23, the underside of the shaped body 14 is acted upon by a pin-like tool through the passage opening 30. Because of When the pin-like tool is applied, the molded body 14 is lifted out of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13.

Auf diese Weise ist der an dem Backengrundkörper 13 montierte Formkörper 14 auch an seiner von dem Sicherungselement 23 abliegenden Seite formschlüssig gegen ein Abheben von dem Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 gesichert.The shaped body 14 and the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 run on the in Figure 4 On the right side of the molded body 14, as shown in dashed lines, the molded body 14, on its side remote from the securing element 23, engages behind an edge of an opening of the receptacle 21 opposite the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13 with a second surface 29a on the molded body side, parallel to the base 24 the receptacle 21. In this way, the shaped body 14 mounted on the jaw base body 13 is also positively secured on its side remote from the securing element 23 against lifting off from the base 24 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13.

Außerdem lässt sich der mit der zweiten formkörperseitigen Fläche 29a versehene Formkörper 14 außer mit der in Figur 4 gezeigten Ausrichtung mit einer zweiten Ausrichtung gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper 13 mit dem Backengrundkörper 13 lösbar verbinden. Mit der zweiten Ausrichtung ist der Formkörper 14 gegenüber der gezeigten ersten Ausrichtung um 180° gedreht. Die Einlaufseite 16 und die Auslaufseite 17 des Formkörpers 14 sind bei den unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen des Formkörpers 14 gegeneinander vertauscht. Mit beiden Ausrichtungen gegenüber dem Backengrundkörper 13 kann der Formkörper 14 mittels der Befestigungsschraube 20 und des Sicherungselements 23 an dem Backengrundkörper 13 lösbar fixiert werden.In addition, the molded body 14 provided with the second surface 29a on the molded body side can be used except with the in Figure 4 shown orientation with a second orientation relative to the jaw base body 13 releasably connect to the jaw base body 13. With the second orientation, the shaped body 14 is rotated by 180° compared to the first orientation shown. The inlet side 16 and the outlet side 17 of the shaped body 14 are interchanged with each other when the shaped body 14 is aligned differently.

An der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Aufnahme 21 wird in einem Spalt zwischen dem um 180° gedrehten Formkörper 14 und der Wand 22 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 das Sicherungselement für die zweite Ausrichtung, vorliegend das auch bereits in Figur 5a vorgesehene Sicherungselement 23, angeordnet und mittels der auch als Befestigungsschraube für die zweite Ausrichtung verwendeten Befestigungsschraube 20 mit dem Backengrundkörper 13 verschraubt. Die Befestigungsschraube 20 wird zu diesem Zweck in eine in den Grund 24 der Aufnahme 21 des Backengrundkörpers 13 mündende Gewindeöffnung 27a für die zweite Ausrichtung eingedreht. Die Gewindeöffnung 27a für die zweite Ausrichtung des Formkörpers 14 ist von der Gewindeöffnung 27 für die erste Ausrichtung des Formkörpers 14 in dessen Längsrichtung beabstandet.On the side of the receptacle 21 on which the securing element 23 was arranged when the molded body 14 was first aligned, the molded body 14 is now placed against the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13. On the opposite side of the receptacle 21, in a gap between the shaped body 14 rotated through 180 ° and the wall 22 of the receptacle 21 of the jaw base body 13, the securing element for the second orientation, in this case already in Figure 5a provided securing element 23, arranged and screwed to the jaw base body 13 by means of the fastening screw 20, which is also used as a fastening screw for the second alignment.
