Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、異形缶の成形方法及びその装置、特に金属缶を中子を用いることなく、任意形状に縮径成形できる異形缶の製造方法及びその装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、有底シームレス筒状缶の胴部を部分的に変形させた缶(以下、異形缶という)を有底シームレス筒状缶から成形する方法として、缶内部に絞り金型を挿入して内部から張出し成形する方法、あるいは缶内に中子を挿入して外部からの絞り金型による圧力を中子でバックアップしながら押し込み成形する方法が知られている。しかしながら、これらの方法は、装置が複雑であると共に、缶の開口面積によって成形度が制限を受け、且つ作業性に劣り、従来の高速製罐ラインに直結して設けることはできず、製罐ラインとは切り離して専用のラインとして設けなければならず、高価な設備コストを必要とすると共に生産性が悪い等の問題点があった。一方、中子を使用しないで生産性を高める方法として、ネッキング加工で形成した肩部から底部に向かって胴部に絞り加工を施すようにし、その後でさらに金属缶の底部側から絞り加工を行うようにしたもの(特許文献1参照)、あるいは、金属缶の底部付近外周に絞り加工を施し、次に開口部付近にネッキング加工を施し、さらに肩部付近の外周に絞り加工を施し、最後に開口部にフランジ加工又はカーリング加工を施すことにより異形缶を成形する方法も提案されている(特許文献2参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
肩部又は底部から絞り成形することにより異形缶を成形する後者の方法は、缶内部に中子を挿入して成形する場合と比べて、装置が簡単で且つ作業性が良く、かつ成形が中子の大きさに影響されない利点がある。しかしながら、その場合は成形圧力に対するバックアップがないため、缶にしわや不規則変形が生じ易く成形不良になりやすい問題点がある。前記特許文献1又は特許文献2等に提案されている従来の絞り加工による成形方法は、絞り金型で缶胴開口部又は底部を支持具に押し当ながら成形するので、成形が終了するまでの途中工程は缶胴は絞り金型と支持具とのみで挟持されている。そのため、缶胴の挟持間隔が成形中に変位し、しかも成形加工部で挟持しているため、挟持圧力が缶胴円周面に不均一に作用し、挟持が不安定になりやすく、加工中に缶がぶれて缶胴にしわが発生し易くなる欠点がある。その上、従来の方法では絞り金型と対向して缶を支持する支持具は固定で成形中変位することがないので、縮径による缶直径の減少分を缶胴の高さ方向に吸収して逃がすことができず、缶直径の減少分を缶胴肉厚の増大によって吸収しなければならないので、その観点からも成形面にしわが発生し易く外観を損なう等の問題点がある。
【0005】
そこで、本発明は、上記従来技術の問題点を解消しようとするものであって、有底シームレス筒状缶の胴部を中子等を用いることなく、缶胴外側から絞り成形することにより、効率良くしかも高価な設備を必要とすることなくしわの発生を抑えて縮径成形ができ、美麗で変化に富んだ多様の異形缶を製造することができる異形缶製造方法及びその装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決する本発明の異形缶の製造方法は、筒状缶の胴部外周面を絞り加工することによって異形缶を製造する異形缶の製造方法であって、缶支持体により缶を軸方向両側より支持し、次いで、前記缶支持体の動作とは別の動作をする絞り成形型を缶胴部に嵌合して相対的に軸方向に摺動することにより、缶胴部の所定位置まで絞り加工により縮径成形することを特徴とするものである。
【0007】
前記縮径成形が内径の相違する複数の絞り成形型により、複数工程で加工され、第1工程が最も内径の大きい第1工程絞り成形型で開口側又は底部から加工方向に最も遠い位置まで絞り成形し、第2工程が前記第1工程絞り成形型より内径の小さい第2工程絞り成形型により、第1工程の加工位置よりも近い位置まで絞り成形し、以下順次内径が小さくなる絞り成形により、順次成形距離を短くすることにより、胴部に沿って順次縮径した缶を製造することによって、多段に縮径成形あるいは、傾斜状に縮径している缶を得ることが可能となる。前記絞り成形は缶の上下何れの方向からも可能である。前記絞り成形型がリング状の孔を有し、前記缶支持体の上下何れか側の一方が該リング状の孔を通過して缶体を支持するようにすることによって、厳密な位置合わせが可能となり缶中心を対称軸とした正確な変形加工ができる。また、絞り成形型による絞り加工時は、上下何れか一方の缶支持体と缶との間に空隙が形成され、該空隙により絞り成形加工による缶の伸びを吸収するようにすることによって、効果的にしわの発生を抑えて絞り加工ができる。さらに、缶支持体の何れかが緩衝可能に取り付けられ、缶体挟持時のストローク量誤差を吸収するようにすることによって缶支持体自体のストローク誤差や、缶体高さの誤差等による挟持圧力を効果的に吸収でき、一定圧力で缶体を支持することができる。また、絞り加工中、缶内にエアを供給して缶内を加圧するようにすることによって、より効果的にしわの発生を抑制することができる。
【0008】
また、上記課題を解決する本発明の異形缶の製造装置は、筒状缶の胴部外周面を絞り加工することによって異形缶を製造する異形缶の製造装置であって、缶を上下に支持する缶支持体、該缶支持体の動作とは別動作をし、缶胴部に嵌合して相対的に軸方向に摺動することにより、缶胴部の所定位置まで絞り加工により縮径成形する絞り成形金型、該成形金型を缶に対して缶胴軸方向に相対的に摺動させる絞り成形金型駆動手段とからなることを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
前記挟持手段は、開口側駆動体に取り付けられたフランジングダイと底部側駆動体に取り付けられたノックアウトテーブル又はボトムチャックとからなり、また前記絞り金型駆動手段は、前記開口側駆動体に軸方向に摺動可能に設けられた開口側駆動ロッド、又は前記底部側駆動体に軸方向に摺動可能に設けられたボトム駆動ロッドからなり、開口側から絞り成形する場合は前記開口側駆動ロッドに絞り金型を取り付け、ボトム側から絞り成形する場合は前記ボトム側駆動ロッドに絞り金型を取り付けるように構成することができる。
【0010】
そして、前記開口側駆動体は、開口側駆動ロッドとその中心部を貫通して上下動する開口側中心軸体とからなり、該開口側駆動ロッドと開口側中心軸体は独立して軸方向に上下駆動でき、且つ開口側駆動ロッドの下端部にフランジングダイと絞り金型が交換自在に取付け可能となっていることが望ましい。また、前記ボトム側駆動体は、軸方向に摺動駆動されるボトム側駆動ロッドと、その中心部を貫通して前記ボトム側駆動ロッドとは独立して摺動駆動されるノックアウトテーブルとからなり、前記ボトム側駆動ロッドに絞り金型とボトムチャックが交換自在に取付け可能となっていることが望ましい。さらに、前記フランジングダイが前記開口側取付台座又は開口側中心軸体に軸方向にクッション可能に取り付けられていることがより望ましい。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図1及び図2に示す実施形態により詳細に説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る異形缶製造装置の要部断面を示し、(a)はボトム側から成形する場合の状態を示し、(b)は開口側から成形する場合の状態を示している。本実施形態の異形缶製造装置は、通常の製罐ラインにおいて円筒状に絞りしごきされ、ネックイン加工及びフランジ加工された有底シームレス筒状金属缶を、所望の形状に応じてボトム側から及び又は開口側から絞り成形して、異形缶に成形するものであり、図示しない成形ターレットの外周部に所定ピッチで複数個の成形ヘッドが配置され、図1はその1組の成形ヘッドの要部を示している。
【0012】
各成形ヘッドは、基本構成として、互いに同軸線に沿って相対移動するボトム側駆動体2と開口側駆動体3とから構成されている。ボトム側駆動体2は、缶胴の底部を支持するノックアウトテーブル5と、底部側から絞り成形する場合は絞り金型8を、胴部側から絞り成形する場合はボトムチャック9をそれぞれ取り替え可能に取り付けるボトム側駆動本体6からなり、それぞれは独立して図示しないカムによりターレットの公転に伴って軸線に沿って上下駆動される。ボトム側駆動本体6は、下部に図示しないカムフォロワを有するボトム側駆動ロッド7の上端に取付台座10が設けられ、該取付台座10にボトム側絞り金型8又はボトムチャック9が取付リング27を介して取り替え自在に取りつけてある。取付リング27の内周面には内ネジが形成され、取付台座10の外周部に形成されたネジと螺合して、リング状のボトム側絞り金型8又はボトムチャック9を着脱自在に取り付けるようになっている。また、ボトム側駆動ロッド7の中心部には軸心に沿って貫通孔が設けられ、該貫通孔にノックアウトテーブルのノックアウト軸11が上下動可能に嵌合している。また、本実施形態では取付け台座10は、絞り加工時にボトム側絞り金型8を通過した缶の底部が位置できるような凹部12を有しているが、絞り金型の成形面22と取付台座上面との間に、缶の成形部位が絞り金型の成形面22を通過できる隙間があればよく、取付台座に凹部を設ける代わりに、ブラケット22の高さを高くしても良い。なお、図中13は、ノックアウト軸11に設けられノックアウトテーブル上面に開口しているバキューム孔であり、図示しないバキューム源に連結され、ノックアウトテーブル上に供給された缶の底部を吸着保持できるようになっている。それにより、ターレットの回転でも缶がずれることなく、正確な位置で缶を支持することができる。
【0013】
一方、開口側駆動体3は、開口側駆動ロッド15とその中心部を貫通して上下動する開口側中心軸体16とからなり、開口側駆動ロッド15及び開口側中心軸体16はそれぞれ図示しないカムフォロワを有し、ターレットが回転することによって図示しないカムにより独立して軸方向に上下駆動できるようになっている。開口側駆動ロッド15の下端部には、開口側取付台座20が固定され、該開口側取付台座20に、ボトム側から絞り成形する場合は、フランジングダイ17がフランジングダイ取付治具18を介して取りつけられ、開口側から絞り成形する場合は、開口側絞り金型19が適宜の絞り金型取付治具21を介して着脱自在に取りつけられている。フランジングダイ取付治具18は、第1部材24、第2部材25、第3部材26の組立体からなり、第1部材24が開口側取付台座20に内螺子を形成した取付リング31により着脱自在に取り付けられる。第1部材24と第2部材25間は、入れ子状に摺動可能に嵌合しており、スプリング30によって、所定のバネ圧で間隔を保持し、フランジングダイ17に所定以上の圧力が加わるとクッションして缶胴の伸びを吸収できるようになっている。そして、第2部材25に第3部材26が固定され、第3部材26にフランジングダイ17が固定されている。第2部材25に外部からのエア配管が連結され、絞り加工中に、第2部材25から第3部材26及びフランジングダイ17を通って缶内に加圧空気を供給して、缶胴のシワ抑え機能を果たすようになっている。
【0014】
一方、絞り金型取付治具21は、同図(b)に示すように、下端にリング状の開口側絞り金型19を保持している保持リング33を直接取り付け、上端を開口側取付台座20に取付リング31により着脱自在に取り付けられるように構成してある。したがって、金型取付治具21の高さによって、缶胴の絞り高さ位置を変えることができるので、高さの相違する複数の金型取付治具21を用意しておけば、該金型取付治具を取りかえるだけで容易に絞り成形高さ位置を変更することができる。開口側から絞り成形する場合は、フランジング取付治具18を完全に除去し、代わりに開口側中心軸体16の下端に、図1(b)に示すように、アダプター34をフランジグダイ17に取り付ける。開口側中心軸体16とアダプター34は、スプリング35を介してクッション可能に連結している。また、その場合は、開口側中心軸体16及びアダプター34に設けられたエア路36、37を通り、且つフランジングダイ17を通って成形中に及び又は成形終了後に缶の缶内に加圧エアを供給できるようになっている。
【0015】
上記構成において、開口側駆動体3に取り付けられたフランジングダイ17と底部側駆動体に取り付けられたノックアウトテーブル5又はボトムチャック9とで缶支持体を構成し、絞り金型駆動手段は、開口側駆動体3に軸方向に摺動可能に設けられた開口側駆動ロッド15、又は底部側駆動体2に軸方向に摺動可能に設けられたボトム駆動ロッド7とから構成され、缶支持体の動作とは別の動作をする。また、開口側駆動体3は、開口側駆動ロッド15とその中心部を貫通して上下動する開口側中心軸体16とからなり、開口側駆動ロッド15と開口側中心軸体16は独立して軸方向に上下駆動でき、且つ開口側駆動ロッド15の下端部にフランジングダイ17と絞り金型が交換自在に取付け可能となっている。さらに、ボトム側駆動体2は、軸方向に摺動駆動されるボトム側駆動ロッド7と、その中心部を貫通して前記ボトム側駆動ロッドとは独立して摺動駆動されるノックアウトテーブル5とからなり、ボトム側駆動ロッド7にボトム側絞り金型8とボトムチャック9が交換自在に取付け可能となっている。
【0016】
本実施形態の異形缶製造装置は、以上のように構成され、次のように作動する。まず、開口側から絞り成形する場合について、図2により説明する。
前記したように、開口側から絞り成形する場合は、ボトム側駆動本体6のボトム側駆動ロッド7の取付台座10には、図示のようにボトムチャック9が取り付けられている。一方、開口側駆動軸15の台座には取付治具18を介して開口側絞り金型19が取り付けられている。また、開口側中心軸体16には、フランジングダイ17が取り付けられている。
【0017】
まず、缶搬入位置では、図2(a)に示すように、ノックアウトテーブル5はフィードレベルFLに位置し、ボトムチャック9は缶の供給に邪魔にならないようにフィードレベルFLより退避した位置にあり、開口側駆動体3も缶の供給に邪魔にならないように上方に位置している。この状態で図示しない供給装置により、フィードレベルFLに位置しているノックアウトテーブル5上に缶50が供給されると、ボトムチャック9が上昇すると共にフランジングダイ17がリング状の開口側絞り金型19の内部を通過して下降し、缶開口部に嵌合して缶のフランジと係合し、ボトムチャック9とで缶を挟持する(同図(b)参照)。次いで、ボトムチャック9とフランジングダイ17とで缶を挟持した状態で両者が同期して上昇することにより、缶が開口側絞り金型19側に上昇すると共に、開口側絞り金型19も缶とは独立して下降することにより、絞り金型の加工面22が缶胴のフランジの外方を通過してネックイン加工部外周面に当り、その状態で缶と開口側絞り金型19が相対的に相手側方向に移動することにより、缶外周面に絞り金型により絞り加工(縮径成形)が行なわれる(同図(c)参照)。
【0018】
その際、缶が絞り金型により下方向の軸荷重を受けることによりボトムチャック9がそれに応じて僅かにクッションすることにより、缶胴のフランジ上端部とフランジグダイ17との間に僅かな隙間ができる。缶は絞り成形により加工部が縮径されるので、その分缶胴が高さ方向に伸びる力が働く。該缶の軸方向の伸びを前記隙間によって吸収し、縮径に応じて負荷を高さ方向に逃がし缶高さが自動的に高くなる。そのため、缶胴面にしわを発生させることなく良好に絞り成形することができる。しかしながら、縮径量が多い場合は、一度に縮径成形すると加工量が多くなり、缶胴に大きな負荷が作用するため、中子を使用しない本発明の成形方法の場合、缶が座屈する恐れがあるので、複数工程に分けて絞り成形するのが望ましい。なお、本実施形態では、縮径成形中缶胴の耐圧性を向上させるために、缶胴内部にエアを供給するようにしているが、エアにある加圧は必ずしも必要でないが、エアにより耐圧性をもたせることにより、より薄肉の缶の絞り成形が可能となる。
【0019】
開口側絞り金型19が缶胴の所定位置まで、相対的に移動することによって、缶胴に開口側から所定高さ位置まで所定量の縮径成形が行なわれて成形が完了する(同図(d)参照)。その後、開口側絞り金型19が上昇すると共に、ボトムチャック9とフランジングダイ17で缶が挟持された状態でフィードレベルFLまで下降し、且つノックアウトテーブルがフィードレベルFLまで上昇し、絞り金型は缶から完全に抜けて離れる(同図(e)参照)。その後フランジングダイ17が上昇して缶から離れ、缶は適宜の手段でターレットから排出され、次工程に排出される。なお、(d)図から(e)図に移行する過程で、前記開口側中心軸体16のエア路37から缶内に加圧エアを吹き込むことによって、フランジングダイ17から缶が確実に離れるようにすることが望ましい。以上の工程を経ることにより、缶は開口側から任意の高さ位置まで、しわを発生させることなく良好に絞り成形できる。
【0020】
次に、ボトム側から絞り成形する場合の工程を、図3に基づき説明する。ボトム側から絞り成形する場合は、ボトム側駆動本体6の取付台座10にボトムチャックに代えて絞り金型8を取り付け、開口側取付台座20には開口側絞り金型19に変えてフランジングダイ17を取り付ける。
まず、缶搬入位置では、図3(a)に示すように、ノックアウトテーブル5がフィードレベルFLに位置し、ボトム側駆動本体6及び開口側駆動体3は缶の供給に邪魔にならない位置に退避している。この状態で図示しない供給装置により、フィードレベルFLに位置しているノックアウトテーブル5上に缶50が供給されると、開口側駆動ロッド15に取り付けられているフランジングダイ17が下降し缶のフランジと係合し、ノックアウトテーブル5とで缶を挟持する(同図(b)参照)。次いで、ノックアウトテーブル5とフランジングダイ17とで缶を挟持した状態で両者が同期して下降することにより、缶が絞り金型8側に下降すると共に、絞り金型8もノックアウトテーブル8とは独立して上昇することにより、絞り金型の加工面22が缶胴のボトム側接地環状突起52(図4(a)参照)の外方を通過して傾斜外周面53に当り、その状態で缶と絞り金型8が相対的に相手側方向に移動することにより、缶外周面に絞り加工(縮径成形)が行なされる(同図(c)参照)。
【0021】
その際、絞り金型8が缶に上方向の軸荷重を負荷することにより、スプリング30がクッションしてフランジングダイ17が僅かに上昇して缶が上昇することにより、缶底部とノックアウトテーブル上面との間に隙間ができる。それにより、縮径に応じて缶胴が軸方向に伸びるのを高さ方向に逃がし缶高さが自動的に高くなることによって、絞り加工によるしわの発生を防いでいる。
【0022】
絞り金型8が缶胴の所定位置まで、相対的に移動することによって、缶胴にボトム側から所定高さ位置まで所定量の縮径成形が行なわれて成形が完了する(同図(d)参照)。その後、絞り金型8が下降し、且つノックアウトテーブル5がフィードレベルまで上昇すると共にフランジングダイ17が上昇すると、絞り金型が缶から抜けて離れると共に、フランジングダイ17が缶から離れ、缶は自由な状態となり、適宜の手段でターレットから排出され,次工程に排出される(同図(e)参照)。なお、フランジ側から絞り成形する場合と同様に、(d)図から(e)図に移行する過程で、前記開口側中心軸体16のエア路37から缶内に加圧エアを吹き込むことによって、フランジングダイ17から缶が確実に離れるようにすることが望ましい。以上の工程を経ることにより、缶は開口側から任意の高さ位置まで、しわを発生させることなく良好に絞り成形できる。
【0023】
以上は、開口側及びボトム側からそれぞれ絞り成形する場合の1工程について説明したが、実際の異形缶の製造工程では、それらの工程を複数工程組み合わせることによって、缶胴にしわを発生させることなく多様な形状の異形缶を成形することができるようになっている。
【0024】
【実施例】
図4は、左端に示す胴部内径65.87mmの円筒2ピース缶50をボトム側から4工程を経て絞り成形して、右端に示す缶胴高さの底部から約70%の高さ位置(仮想線で示すP0位置)まで、胴部最小内径56.8mmとなるように絞り成形加工した場合の各工程の絞り加工状態を模式的に示している。
【0025】
胴部内径65.87mmから胴部最小内径56.8mmまで絞り成形加工を1回の絞り成形でも可能であるが、その場合は絞り成形時の加工量が大きくなり、缶胴にしわが発生したり、極端な場合は座屈を起して成形不可能となるので、本実施例では各工程がほぼ等加工量(但し、第4工程では、加工量を少なくしてしてある)となるように、4工程に分割して、1回当りの加工量を少なくして徐々に絞り加工することによって、缶胴に目立たないような微小な階段状(傾斜状)に次第に縮径する形状に絞り成形した。従って、各工程で使用する絞り金型の成形型面の内径も各加工量に応じてそれぞれ異なっている。まず、第1工程では、缶胴外径よりも僅かに狭い内径の成形型面を有する絞り金型8−1により、缶底からP0位置の僅かに低い高さ位置P1まで絞り加工する。P1まで絞り加工することによって、P1までは直線状に絞り成形されるが、P0−P1間は自然に屈曲して傾斜面となって非成形缶胴部55−1に連続する。次いで第2工程で絞り金型8−1よりさらに内径の小さい成形型面を有する絞り金型8−2により、缶底からP1位置より僅かに低い高さ位置P2まで直線状に絞り成形する。それにより、P0位置からさらにP2位置まで連続した傾斜面となって絞り成形される。以下同様にして第4工程まで行われる。第4工程で、P4位置までが缶底から直線状に絞り成形され、P4−P0間は連続した傾斜面となり、図4(f)に示す形状の缶を得ることができる。最終工程である第4工程では、P4位置での屈曲を目立たないようするため、加工量を他の工程より少なくしてある。
【0026】
以上のようにして絞り加工して得られた缶は、加工中座屈を起したりすることがなく、良好に絞り成形でき、図4(f)に示すようにしわの発生のない缶胴の高さ約2/3から下方がほぼテーパー状に縮径している成形缶胴部55−2でその上部が非成形缶胴部55−1となっている異形缶55を得ることができた。
【0027】
以上、本発明の一実施形態及び実施例について説明したが、本発明は上記のものに限らず、その技術的思想の範囲内で種々の設計変更が可能である。なお、この明細書では、便宜上缶胴の軸方向を上下方向として説明したが、物理的に上下方向の場合に限らず、缶胴が横倒しの状態で供給される横型の場合は缶胴軸方向が左右方向となる。また、該成形方法によって縮径成形される缶形状は、必ずも縮径断面が円形である場合に限らず、缶胴軸方向に筋が入った多角形状や楕円形状に縮径成形も可能である。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明の異形缶製造方法及びその装置によれば、有底シームレス筒状缶の胴部を中子等を用いることなく、缶胴外側から絞り成形することのみで異形缶を得ることができ、しかも缶の上下何れの方向からも成形できるので、作業性に優れ効率良く且つ高価な設備を必要とすることなく、従来の高速製罐ラインに連続して適用できる。しかも、従来の絞り成形法に比べてしわの発生を抑えて良好に縮径成形ができ、美麗で変化に富んだ多様の異形缶を製造することができる。また、絞り成形加工中上下何れか一方の缶支持体と缶との間に空隙が形成されることにより、絞り加工による缶の伸びを吸収し、しわの発生を抑制する効果が高い。さらに、缶支持体の何れかを緩衝可能に取付けることによって缶支持体自体のストローク誤差や、缶体高さの誤差等による挟持圧力を効果的に吸収でき、一定圧力で缶体を支持することができる。

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of forming a can with a body part of a bottomed seamless cylindrical can partially deformed (hereinafter referred to as a deformed can) from a bottomed seamless cylindrical can, a drawing die is inserted into the can and the inside thereof is inserted. There is known a method in which a core is inserted into a can, or a method in which a core is inserted into a can and a pressure from an external drawing die is backed up by the core while the core is backed up. However, in these methods, the apparatus is complicated, the degree of forming is limited by the opening area of the can, and the workability is inferior, and these methods cannot be directly connected to the conventional high-speed can-making line. It has to be provided as a dedicated line separately from the line, so that there is a problem that expensive equipment cost is required and productivity is low. On the other hand, as a method of increasing productivity without using a core, drawing is performed on the body from the shoulder formed by necking to the bottom, and then drawing is further performed from the bottom of the metal can. In this way (see Patent Literature 1), or drawing is performed on the outer periphery near the bottom of the metal can, then necking is performed near the opening, and drawing is performed on the outer periphery near the shoulder. A method of forming a deformed can by performing flange processing or curling processing on an opening has also been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The latter method, in which a deformed can is formed by drawing from the shoulder or the bottom, has a simpler apparatus, has better workability, and is more compact than a case in which a core is inserted into the inside of the can. It has the advantage of being unaffected by the size of the child. However, in this case, since there is no backup for the molding pressure, there is a problem that wrinkles and irregular deformation are apt to occur in the can and molding failure is likely to occur. In the conventional forming method by drawing, which is proposed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, etc., the opening or the bottom of the can body is pressed with a drawing die while pressing the support, so that the forming until the forming is completed. In the middle of the process, the can body is held only by the drawing die and the support. For this reason, the clamping interval of the can body is displaced during molding, and since it is clamped in the molding processing portion, the clamping pressure acts on the circumferential surface of the can body unevenly, and the clamping is likely to be unstable, and during the processing, There is a disadvantage that the can is shaken and the body of the can is easily wrinkled. In addition, in the conventional method, since the support for supporting the can facing the drawing die is fixed and does not displace during molding, the reduction in the diameter of the can due to the diameter reduction is absorbed in the height direction of the can body. Since it cannot escape, the reduced diameter of the can must be absorbed by increasing the thickness of the can body, and from that viewpoint, there is a problem that wrinkles are easily generated on the molding surface and the appearance is impaired.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, without using the core and the like of the bottomed seamless cylindrical can, by drawing from the outside of the can body, Provided is a method and apparatus for manufacturing a deformed can which can perform a reduced-diameter molding while suppressing the generation of wrinkles efficiently and without requiring expensive equipment, and can produce a variety of beautiful and varied deformed cans. The purpose is to:
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The method for manufacturing a deformed can according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a method for manufacturing a deformed can by drawing an outer peripheral surface of a body portion of a cylindrical can to produce a deformed can. Direction, and then a draw mold that operates differently from the operation of the can support is fitted to the can body and slid relatively in the axial direction, so that the can body has a predetermined shape. It is characterized in that the diameter is reduced by drawing to a position.
[0007]
The reduced diameter forming is processed in a plurality of steps by a plurality of drawing dies having different inner diameters, and the first step is a first-step drawing forming die having the largest inner diameter and is drawn from an opening side or a bottom to a position furthest in the processing direction. Forming, the second step is drawn by a second step draw forming die having a smaller inner diameter than the first step draw forming die to a position closer to the processing position in the first step, and thereafter, the draw forming is performed by sequentially reducing the inner diameter. By shortening the forming distance in order to manufacture cans having a diameter gradually reduced along the body, it is possible to obtain cans having a reduced diameter in multiple stages or a diameter reduced in an inclined manner. The draw forming can be performed from either the upper or lower direction of the can. The draw mold has a ring-shaped hole, and one of the upper and lower sides of the can support passes through the ring-shaped hole to support the can body, so that strict alignment is achieved. It is possible to perform accurate deformation processing with the center of the can as the axis of symmetry. Further, at the time of drawing by the drawing mold, a gap is formed between one of the upper and lower can supports and the can, and the elongation of the can by the drawing is absorbed by the gap. Draw processing can be performed while suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles. Furthermore, any one of the can supports is mounted so as to be bufferable, and a stroke error of the can support itself is absorbed by absorbing a stroke amount error when the can body is clamped, and a clamping pressure due to an error in the can body height is reduced. It can absorb effectively and can support the can at a constant pressure. In addition, during the drawing process, by supplying air into the can to pressurize the inside of the can, it is possible to more effectively suppress the generation of wrinkles.
[0008]
Further, the apparatus for manufacturing a deformed can of the present invention which solves the above-mentioned problem is a manufacturing apparatus for a deformed can which manufactures a deformed can by drawing a body outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical can, and supports the can vertically. The can support, which operates separately from the operation of the can support, is fitted to the can body and relatively slid in the axial direction, thereby reducing the diameter by drawing to a predetermined position on the can body. A draw forming die to be formed, and a draw forming die driving means for sliding the forming die relative to the can in the axial direction of the can body.
[0009]
The clamping means includes a flanging die attached to the opening-side driving body and a knockout table or a bottom chuck attached to the bottom-side driving body, and the drawing die driving means includes a shaft attached to the opening-side driving body. An opening-side drive rod slidably provided in the direction, or a bottom drive rod slidably provided in the bottom-side drive body in the axial direction. In the case where the drawing die is mounted on the bottom side and the drawing is performed from the bottom side, the drawing die can be mounted on the bottom side driving rod.
[0010]
The opening-side driving body includes an opening-side driving rod and an opening-side central shaft that moves up and down through the center thereof, and the opening-side driving rod and the opening-side central shaft are independent of each other in the axial direction. It is desirable that the flanging die and the drawing die can be interchangeably attached to the lower end of the opening side drive rod. The bottom driving body includes a bottom driving rod that is slidably driven in the axial direction, and a knockout table that penetrates the center of the bottom driving rod and is slid independently of the bottom driving rod. It is desirable that a drawing die and a bottom chuck can be interchangeably attached to the bottom drive rod. More preferably, the flanging die is attached to the opening-side mounting base or the opening-side central shaft so as to be cushionable in the axial direction.
[0011]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS.
1A and 1B show a cross section of a main part of an apparatus for manufacturing a deformed can according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 1A shows a state in which molding is performed from the bottom side, and FIG. Is shown. The deformed can manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment is drawn and ironed into a cylindrical shape in a normal canning line, and a bottomed seamless cylindrical metal can that has been subjected to neck-in processing and flange processing is formed from the bottom side according to a desired shape. Alternatively, a plurality of forming heads are arranged at a predetermined pitch on an outer peripheral portion of a forming turret (not shown) by drawing from the opening side to form a deformed can. FIG. Is shown.
[0012]
As a basic configuration, each forming head includes a bottom driver 2 and an opening driver 3 that relatively move along a coaxial line. The bottom driving body 2 is configured such that a knockout table 5 that supports the bottom of the can body, a drawing die 8 when drawing from the bottom side, and a bottom chuck 9 when drawing from the body side are replaceable. It comprises a bottom drive body 6 to be attached, and each is independently driven up and down along an axis by a cam (not shown) as the turret revolves. The bottom-side drive body 6 has a mounting base 10 provided on the upper end of a bottom-side drive rod 7 having a cam follower (not shown) at the lower part. The bottom-side drawing die 8 or the bottom chuck 9 is mounted on the mounting base 10 via a mounting ring 27. It is mounted freely. An inner screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting ring 27 and is screwed with a screw formed on the outer peripheral portion of the mounting base 10 to removably attach the ring-shaped bottom-side drawing die 8 or the bottom chuck 9. It has become. A through hole is provided in the center of the bottom drive rod 7 along the axis, and the knockout shaft 11 of the knockout table is fitted in the through hole so as to be vertically movable. Further, in the present embodiment, the mounting base 10 has the concave portion 12 so that the bottom of the can that has passed through the bottom side drawing die 8 can be located at the time of drawing, but the forming surface 22 of the drawing die and the mounting base It is sufficient if there is a gap between the upper surface and the upper surface so that the molding portion of the can can pass through the molding surface 22 of the drawing die. Instead of providing a recess in the mounting base, the height of the bracket 22 may be increased. Numeral 13 in the drawing denotes a vacuum hole provided on the knockout shaft 11 and opening on the upper surface of the knockout table, which is connected to a vacuum source (not shown) so that the bottom of the can supplied to the knockout table can be suction-held. Has become. Thus, the can can be supported at an accurate position without the can being displaced even when the turret is rotated.
[0013]
On the other hand, the opening-side driving body 3 includes an opening-side driving rod 15 and an opening-side central shaft 16 that moves up and down through the center thereof. A cam follower is provided, and the turret is rotated so that it can be independently driven up and down in the axial direction by a cam (not shown). An opening-side mounting base 20 is fixed to the lower end of the opening-side drive rod 15. When the opening-side mounting base 20 is formed by drawing from the bottom side, the flanging die 17 uses a flanging die mounting jig 18. In the case of forming by drawing from the opening side, the opening side drawing die 19 is detachably mounted via an appropriate drawing die mounting jig 21. The flanging die mounting jig 18 is composed of an assembly of a first member 24, a second member 25, and a third member 26, and the first member 24 is attached and detached by a mounting ring 31 having an inner screw formed on the opening-side mounting base 20. Can be attached freely. The first member 24 and the second member 25 are slidably fitted in a nested manner. The spring 30 keeps an interval with a predetermined spring pressure and applies a predetermined pressure or more to the flanging die 17. The cushion can absorb the elongation of the can body. The third member 26 is fixed to the second member 25, and the flanging die 17 is fixed to the third member 26. An external air pipe is connected to the second member 25, and pressurized air is supplied from the second member 25 to the inside of the can through the third member 26 and the flanging die 17 during drawing. It has a wrinkle suppressing function.
[0014]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2B, the drawing die attaching jig 21 directly attaches the holding ring 33 holding the ring-shaped opening side drawing die 19 to the lower end, and mounts the upper end to the opening side mounting base. It is configured so that it can be detachably attached to the device 20 by an attachment ring 31. Therefore, the position of the drawing height of the can body can be changed depending on the height of the mold mounting jig 21. If a plurality of mold mounting jigs 21 having different heights are prepared, the mold is provided. It is possible to easily change the drawing height by simply changing the mounting jig. When forming by drawing from the opening side, the flanging attachment jig 18 is completely removed, and an adapter 34 is attached to the lower end of the opening side center shaft body 16 as shown in FIG. . The opening side central shaft body 16 and the adapter 34 are connected via a spring 35 in a cushionable manner. Further, in that case, pressurization is applied to the inside of the can during molding and / or after the molding is completed through the air paths 36 and 37 provided in the opening side central shaft body 16 and the adapter 34 and through the flanging die 17. Air can be supplied.
[0015]
In the above configuration, the can supporting body is constituted by the flanging die 17 attached to the opening side driving body 3 and the knockout table 5 or the bottom chuck 9 attached to the bottom side driving body. An opening-side drive rod 15 slidably provided in the side driver 3 in the axial direction, or a bottom drive rod 7 slidably provided in the bottom driver 2 in the axial direction. The operation is different from the operation described above. The opening-side driving body 3 includes an opening-side driving rod 15 and an opening-side central shaft 16 that moves up and down through the center thereof. The opening-side driving rod 15 and the opening-side central shaft 16 are independent. The flanging die 17 and the drawing die can be interchangeably attached to the lower end of the drive rod 15 on the opening side. Further, the bottom-side driving body 2 includes a bottom-side driving rod 7 that is slidably driven in the axial direction, a knockout table 5 that penetrates the center thereof, and is slidably driven independently of the bottom-side driving rod. The bottom-side drawing die 8 and the bottom chuck 9 can be interchangeably attached to the bottom-side drive rod 7.
[0016]
The deformed can manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment is configured as described above, and operates as follows. First, the case of drawing from the opening side will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, when forming by drawing from the opening side, the bottom chuck 9 is attached to the attachment pedestal 10 of the bottom drive rod 7 of the bottom drive main body 6 as shown. On the other hand, an aperture stop die 19 is attached to the pedestal of the aperture side drive shaft 15 via an attachment jig 18. A flanging die 17 is attached to the opening-side central shaft body 16.
[0017]
First, at the can carry-in position, as shown in FIG. 2A, the knockout table 5 is located at the feed level FL, and the bottom chuck 9 is at a position retracted from the feed level FL so as not to hinder the supply of cans. The opening side driving body 3 is also located above so as not to obstruct the supply of the can. In this state, when the can 50 is supplied onto the knockout table 5 located at the feed level FL by a supply device (not shown), the bottom chuck 9 is raised, and the flanging die 17 is moved into a ring-shaped opening side drawing die. 19, it descends, fits into the opening of the can, engages with the flange of the can, and clamps the can with the bottom chuck 9 (see FIG. 2B). Then, the can is lifted in synchronization with the bottom chuck 9 and the flanging die 17 in a state where the can is held between the bottom chuck 9 and the flanging die 17, so that the can is raised toward the opening side drawing die 19 and the opening side drawing die 19 is also moved. Independently, the working surface 22 of the drawing die passes outside the flange of the can body and hits the outer peripheral surface of the neck-in processing part, and in this state, the can and the opening side drawing die 19 are moved. By relatively moving in the direction of the other side, drawing (diameter reduction forming) is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the can by a drawing die (see FIG. 3C).
[0018]
At this time, the bottom chuck 9 slightly cushions the can by receiving the downward axial load by the drawing die, so that a small gap is formed between the upper end of the flange of the can body and the flanging die 17. . Since the diameter of the processed portion of the can is reduced by drawing, the force of the can body extending in the height direction acts accordingly. The axial expansion of the can is absorbed by the gap, and the load is released in the height direction in accordance with the diameter reduction, so that the can height automatically increases. For this reason, it is possible to draw well without causing wrinkles on the body surface of the can. However, when the diameter reduction amount is large, when the diameter reduction molding is performed at once, the processing amount increases, and a large load acts on the can body. Therefore, in the case of the molding method of the present invention that does not use the core, the can may buckle. Therefore, it is desirable to carry out the drawing in a plurality of steps. In this embodiment, air is supplied to the inside of the can body in order to improve the pressure resistance of the can body during diameter reduction molding. By providing the property, draw forming of a thinner can becomes possible.
[0019]
By moving the opening side drawing die 19 relatively to a predetermined position of the can body, a predetermined amount of diameter reduction molding is performed on the can body from the opening side to a predetermined height position to complete the forming (FIG. (D)). Thereafter, while the opening-side drawing die 19 is raised, the can is held down by the bottom chuck 9 and the flanging die 17 and lowered to the feed level FL, and the knockout table is raised to the feed level FL. Completely escapes from the can (see FIG. 3E). Thereafter, the flanging die 17 moves up and away from the can, and the can is discharged from the turret by an appropriate means and discharged to the next step. In the process of shifting from FIG. (D) to FIG. (E), pressurized air is blown into the can from the air passage 37 of the opening side central shaft body 16, so that the can is reliably separated from the flanging die 17. It is desirable to do so. Through the above steps, the can can be drawn well from the opening side to an arbitrary height position without wrinkles.
[0020]
Next, a process in the case of drawing from the bottom side will be described with reference to FIG. When drawing from the bottom side, a drawing die 8 is attached to the mounting base 10 of the bottom drive main body 6 instead of the bottom chuck, and a flanging die is mounted on the opening mounting base 20 instead of the opening side drawing die 19. 17 is attached.
First, at the can carry-in position, as shown in FIG. 3A, the knockout table 5 is located at the feed level FL, and the bottom drive body 6 and the opening drive body 3 are retracted to a position where they do not hinder the supply of cans. are doing. In this state, when the can 50 is supplied onto the knockout table 5 located at the feed level FL by a supply device (not shown), the flanging die 17 attached to the opening side drive rod 15 is lowered, and the flange of the can is lowered. And the can is sandwiched between the knockout table 5 and the knockout table 5 (see FIG. 3B). Next, the can is lowered toward the drawing die 8 by synchronously lowering the can while holding the can between the knockout table 5 and the flanging die 17, and the drawing die 8 is also in contact with the knockout table 8. By independently rising, the processing surface 22 of the drawing die passes outside the bottom-side grounded annular projection 52 (see FIG. 4A) of the can body and hits the inclined outer peripheral surface 53, and in that state, By relatively moving the can and the drawing die 8 in the direction of the mating side, drawing (diameter forming) is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the can (see FIG. 3C).
[0021]
At this time, the drawing die 8 applies an upward axial load to the can, the spring 30 cushions and the flanging die 17 rises slightly, and the can rises. There is a gap between them. Thereby, the extension of the can body in the axial direction in accordance with the diameter reduction is released in the height direction, and the can height is automatically increased, thereby preventing the occurrence of wrinkles due to the drawing process.
[0022]
By relatively moving the drawing die 8 to a predetermined position on the can body, a predetermined amount of diameter reduction molding is performed on the can body from the bottom side to a predetermined height position, and the forming is completed (FIG. )reference). Thereafter, when the drawing die 8 is lowered and the knockout table 5 is raised to the feed level and the flanging die 17 is raised, the drawing die is separated from the can and the flanging die 17 is separated from the can. Is released, discharged from the turret by appropriate means, and discharged to the next step (see FIG. 9E). As in the case of drawing from the flange side, in the process of shifting from FIG. (D) to FIG. (E), pressurized air is blown into the can from the air path 37 of the opening side central shaft body 16. It is desirable to ensure that the can separates from the flanging die 17. Through the above steps, the can can be drawn well from the opening side to an arbitrary height position without wrinkles.
[0023]
In the above, one process in the case of forming by drawing from the opening side and the bottom side has been described. However, in the actual manufacturing process of the deformed can, by combining those processes in a plurality of processes, the can body is not wrinkled. Various shaped cans can be formed.
[0024]
【Example】
FIG. 4 shows that a cylindrical two-piece can 50 having a body diameter of 65.87 mm shown on the left end is drawn and formed from the bottom side through four steps, and a height position of about 70% from the bottom of the can body height shown on the right end ( The drawing state of each step when drawing forming is performed so that the body part has a minimum inner diameter of 56.8 mm up to the position P0 indicated by a virtual line) is schematically shown.
[0025]
From the inner diameter of the body portion of 65.87 mm to the minimum inner diameter of the body portion of 56.8 mm, it is possible to perform the draw forming process by a single draw forming. In an extreme case, buckling occurs and molding becomes impossible. Therefore, in the present embodiment, each step has a substantially equal processing amount (however, the processing amount is reduced in the fourth step). Then, by dividing the process into four steps and gradually reducing the amount of processing per operation and gradually drawing, the drawing is gradually reduced to a small step-like (inclination) shape that is not noticeable on the can body. Molded. Accordingly, the inner diameter of the mold surface of the drawing die used in each step is also different depending on each processing amount. First, in the first step, drawing is performed from the bottom of the can to a height position P1 slightly lower than the position P0 by a drawing die 8-1 having a forming die surface having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the can body. By drawing to P1, drawing is performed linearly up to P1, but is naturally bent between P0 and P1 to form an inclined surface and continues to the non-molded can body portion 55-1. Next, in a second step, the drawing is performed linearly from the bottom of the can to a height position P2 slightly lower than the position P1 by a drawing die 8-2 having a forming surface smaller in inner diameter than the drawing die 8-1. As a result, a continuous inclined surface is formed from the P0 position to the P2 position, and the drawing is performed. Thereafter, the same procedure is performed up to the fourth step. In the fourth step, up to the P4 position is linearly drawn from the bottom of the can, and a continuous inclined surface is formed between P4 and P0, and a can having the shape shown in FIG. 4F can be obtained. In the fourth step, which is the final step, the amount of processing is smaller than in the other steps in order to make the bending at the P4 position inconspicuous.
[0026]
The can obtained by drawing as described above can be drawn well without causing buckling during the working, and as shown in FIG. From the height of about 2/3 of the molded can body 55-2 whose diameter is reduced in a substantially tapered manner, and the upper part of which is a non-molded can body 55-1. Was.
[0027]
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment and Example of this invention were described, this invention is not limited to the above, and various design changes are possible within the range of the technical idea. In this specification, the axial direction of the can body is described as the vertical direction for convenience. However, the axial direction of the can body is not limited to the physical vertical direction. Is in the left-right direction. In addition, the shape of the can that is reduced in diameter by the molding method is not limited to the case where the reduced diameter cross section is always circular, and it is also possible to reduce the diameter to a polygonal shape or an elliptical shape with streaks in the axial direction of the can body. is there.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the method and apparatus for manufacturing a deformed can of the present invention, a deformed can is obtained by simply drawing the body of a bottomed seamless tubular can from the outside of the can body without using a core or the like. Since it can be molded from both the upper and lower directions of the can, it can be continuously applied to a conventional high-speed can-making line with excellent workability and without requiring expensive equipment. In addition, compared to the conventional drawing method, wrinkles can be suppressed and the diameter can be reduced favorably, and a variety of beautiful and varied cans can be manufactured. In addition, since a gap is formed between the can support and the upper or lower can support during drawing, the elongation of the can by drawing is absorbed, and the effect of suppressing the generation of wrinkles is high. Further, by mounting any of the can supports in a bufferable manner, a stroke error of the can support itself or a clamping pressure due to an error in the can body height can be effectively absorbed, and the can body can be supported at a constant pressure. it can.
