Description

本発明は、例えば水素ガス等が充填されるための容器及びそれを製造するスピニング加工方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a container to be filled with, for example, hydrogen gas and a spinning method for manufacturing the container.

各種高圧ガスを充填するための容器として、鉄製やステンレス製や6000系アルミニウム合金(以下、「6000系アルミ合金」ともいう)製の圧力容器(ボンベ)が使用されている。また、次世代の自動車である燃料電池車では、水素を充填して搭載するための軽量で耐圧性能の高い容器が求められており、6000系アルミ合金製の金属ライナの外側に繊維強化プラスチック層(FRP層とも称する)が形成された圧力容器が利用されている。 As a container for filling various high-pressure gases, a pressure container (cylinder) made of iron, stainless steel, or 6000 series aluminum alloy (hereinafter, also referred to as “6000 series aluminum alloy”) is used. Further, in the fuel cell vehicle, which is the next-generation vehicle, a lightweight container with high pressure resistance for filling and mounting hydrogen is required, and a fiber reinforced plastic layer is provided on the outside of a metal liner made of 6000 series aluminum alloy. A pressure vessel in which (also referred to as an FRP layer) is formed is used.

このような容器や金属ライナは、円筒状の胴部の両端に、胴部よりも径が小さくなる湾曲面を有する口金取付部が形成されている(図1参照)。 In such a container or metal liner, a cap attachment portion having a curved surface having a diameter smaller than that of the body is formed at both ends of the cylindrical body (see FIG. 1).

そして、このような容器や金属ライナを製造するスピニング加工方法が開示されている(例えば特許文献1及び特許文献2参照)。このスピニング加工方法では、6000系アルミ合金製の円筒状のワークの加工部位(端)を所定温度に加熱する加熱工程を実施した後、ワークを回転させながら成形ローラを回転中のワークの加工部位に対して押し当てるようにして所望の加工形状(口金取付部)に変形させる加工工程を実施している。このとき、加熱工程において所定温度までワークの加工部位を加熱しているが、加工工程実施中にワークの加工部位の温度が徐々に低下して加工性が低減してしまうので、ワークの加工部位の温度が所定温度未満まで低下したときには、再び加熱工程を実施した後に加工工程を実施するようにしている。 Then, a spinning method for manufacturing such a container and a metal liner is disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). In this spinning processing method, after performing a heating step of heating a processing part (end) of a cylindrical work made of 6000 series aluminum alloy to a predetermined temperature, a processing part of the work in which the forming roller is rotated while rotating the work. A processing step of deforming into a desired processing shape (base attachment portion) is performed by pressing against. At this time, the processing part of the work is heated to a predetermined temperature in the heating step, but since the temperature of the processing part of the work gradually decreases during the processing step and the workability is reduced, the processing part of the work is reduced. When the temperature of 1 drops below a predetermined temperature, the heating step is performed again, and then the processing step is performed.

しかしながら、上述したようなスピニング加工方法では、縮径(口絞りスピニング)するような複雑な加工を実施したときには、加工品(口金取付部)の壁厚や引張強度や疲労強度が均一にならないという問題点があった。
また、6000系アルミ合金の代わりに、引張強度や疲労強度に優れた7000系アルミニウム合金(以下、「7000系アルミ合金」ともいう)を用いた場合、7000系アルミ合金は加工性が悪く(加工可能温度範囲が狭く)、所望の加工形状(口金取付部)に変形させられないことがあった。
However, in the spinning method as described above, when complicated processing such as diameter reduction (spinning spinning) is performed, the wall thickness, tensile strength, and fatigue strength of the processed product (base mounting portion) are not uniform. There was a problem.
Further, when a 7000 series aluminum alloy excellent in tensile strength and fatigue strength (hereinafter, also referred to as “7000 series aluminum alloy”) is used instead of the 6000 series aluminum alloy, the 7000 series aluminum alloy has poor workability (processing In some cases, the possible temperature range was narrow), and it could not be deformed into the desired processed shape (base attachment part).

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために、加工品の壁厚や引張強度や疲労強度を均一にするスピニング加工方法について検討を行った。従来のスピニング加工方法では、加熱工程実施中にはワークの加工部位の温度を測定しておらず、ワークの加工部位を最適温度に加熱できていないことがわかった。図10は、加工温度と絞り率との関係を示すグラフである。難加工金属として代表的な7000系アルミ合金の加工可能温度範囲(割れやしわが生じない温度範囲)は、6000系アルミ合金の加工可能温度範囲と比較して非常に狭くなっている。特に図10に示すように、難加工金属として代表的な7000系アルミ合金で絞り率を20%〜60%とするときには、ワークの加工部位の温度が加工可能温度範囲内(固相線温度−250℃)以上(固相線温度−10℃)以下になるようにすればよいことがわかった。
そこで、ワークの加工部位の温度が加工可能温度範囲内((固相線温度−250℃)以上(固相線温度−10℃)以下)になるように温度モニタリングすることを見出した。
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have studied a spinning method for making the wall thickness, tensile strength and fatigue strength of a processed product uniform. In the conventional spinning processing method, it was found that the temperature of the processed part of the work was not measured during the heating step, and the processed part of the work could not be heated to the optimum temperature. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the relationship between the processing temperature and the drawing rate. The machinable temperature range of 7000 series aluminum alloys (a temperature range where cracks and wrinkles do not occur), which is a typical difficult-to-process metal, is extremely narrow compared to the machinable temperature range of 6000 series aluminum alloys. In particular, as shown in FIG. 10, when using a typical 7000-series aluminum alloy as a difficult-to-machine metal with a drawing ratio of 20% to 60%, the temperature of the work part of the work is within the workable temperature range (solidus temperature- It was found that the temperature should be 250° C. or higher (solidus temperature −10° C.) or lower.
Therefore, it has been found that the temperature is monitored so that the temperature of the processed portion of the work is within the processable temperature range ((solidus temperature −250° C.) or higher (solidus temperature −10° C.) or lower).

Further, the thermocouple 62c is installed so as to penetrate from the outer peripheral surface of the casing 62a to the inner peripheral surface of the truncated cone shape, and has a spring mechanism on the outer peripheral surface of the processing portion of the work W inserted into the heating coil 62b. 62d, etc., so that they can be brought into contact with each other.
Such an intermediate heating mechanism 62 has a heating position (intermediate heating state) A for heating the processed portion of the work W, and an intermediate heating mechanism retracted position (forming state) C for not heating the processed portion of the work W. The housing 62a is held by the heating coil moving carriage 64 so that it can be moved.

<スピニング加工方法>
次に、上述したスピニング加工装置1を用いて容器100を製造するスピニング加工方法ついて説明する。図9は、スピニング加工方法の一例について説明するためのフローチャートである。
スピニング加工方法(ITMシステム)は、ワークWを保持する保持工程(A)と、ワークWの加工部位を初期加熱機構61で高周波加熱する初期加熱工程(B)と、ワークWの加工部位を縮径する初期スピニング加工工程(C)と、ワークWの加工部位を中間加熱機構62で高周波加熱する中間加熱工程(D)と、ワークWの加工部位を縮径する中間スピニング加工工程(E)とを含む。
<Spinning method>
Next, a spinning processing method for manufacturing the container 100 using the spinning processing apparatus 1 described above will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a spinning method.
The spinning processing method (ITM system) includes a holding step (A) for holding the work W, an initial heating step (B) for high-frequency heating the processed part of the work W by the initial heating mechanism 61, and a processed part of the work W. An initial spinning process step (C) of increasing the diameter, an intermediate heating process (D) of heating the processed part of the work W by the intermediate heating mechanism 62 at high frequency, and an intermediate spinning process (E) of reducing the processed part of the work W. including.

(A)保持工程
まず、ステップS101の処理において、ワークWの胴部1Aの外周面をクランプ装置13で固定する。
(A) Holding Step First, in the process of step S101, the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 1A of the work W is fixed by the clamp device 13.

(B)初期加熱工程
次に、ステップS102の処理において、ワークWを準備位置に配置し、初期加熱機構61を加熱位置Aに移動させることで、初期加熱状態にする。次に、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWをX方向に前進させてワークWの加工部位を加熱コイル61b内の所定位置に入れ、加熱コイル61bに所定周波数の交流電流を供給する。これにより、加熱コイル61bにはワークWの加工部位を貫く磁束が発生し、ワークWの加工部位にうず電流が発生する。このようにワークWの加工部位にうず電流を発生させることでワークWの加工部位を加熱する。
そして、ステップS103の処理において、熱電対61cでワークWの加工部位の温度を検出し、設定温度範囲内になったときには加熱を停止して、(C)初期スピニング加工工程に進む。
上記設定温度範囲内は、(固相線温度−250℃)以上(固相線温度−10℃)以下であり、温度変動が大きくなっても、しわのない良好な形状の容器を得るためには、(固相線温度−100℃)以上(固相線温度−50℃)以下であることがより好ましい(図10参照)。
(B) Initial heating step Next, in the process of step S102, the workpiece W is placed at the preparation position, and the initial heating mechanism 61 is moved to the heating position A, thereby setting the initial heating state. Next, the work W is moved forward in the X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 to place the processing portion of the work W at a predetermined position in the heating coil 61b, and an alternating current having a predetermined frequency is supplied to the heating coil 61b. As a result, a magnetic flux penetrating the processed portion of the work W is generated in the heating coil 61b, and an eddy current is generated in the processed portion of the work W. In this way, the eddy current is generated in the processed portion of the work W to heat the processed portion of the work W.
Then, in the process of step S103, the temperature of the processed portion of the work W is detected by the thermocouple 61c, and when the temperature is within the set temperature range, the heating is stopped and the process proceeds to the (C) initial spinning process.
The above set temperature range is (solidus temperature −250° C.) or more and (solidus temperature −10° C.) or less, and in order to obtain a container having a good shape with no wrinkles even when the temperature fluctuation is large. Is more preferably (solidus temperature −100° C.) or higher (solidus temperature −50° C.) or lower (see FIG. 10).

(C)初期スピニング加工工程
次に、ステップS104の処理において、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWを−X方向に後退させてワークWを準備位置に配置した後、初期加熱機構61を初期加熱機構退避位置Bに移動させることで、成形状態にする。次に、成形ローラ調整軸26により成形ローラ11の径方向の位置を調整し、回転軸24を駆動して成形ローラ11を旋回させる。次に、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWをX方向に前進させてワークWの加工部位の外周面を旋回中の成形ローラ11に接触させる。これにより、ワークWの加工部位を縮径させていく。
(C) Initial Spinning Step Next, in the process of step S104, the X-axis drive mechanism 14 retracts the work W in the −X direction to position the work W at the preparation position, and then the initial heating mechanism 61 is set to the initial heating mechanism. By moving to the retreat position B, a molding state is achieved. Next, the position of the forming roller 11 in the radial direction is adjusted by the forming roller adjusting shaft 26, and the rotating shaft 24 is driven to rotate the forming roller 11. Next, the work W is moved forward in the X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 to bring the outer peripheral surface of the processed portion of the work W into contact with the forming roller 11 which is rotating. As a result, the diameter of the processed part of the work W is reduced.

そして、ステップS105の処理において、1パス終了時、非接触式放射温度計70でワークWの加工部位の温度を検出し、設定温度範囲内であるか否かを判断して、設定温度範囲外になったときには、ステップS106の処理において、ワークWの加工部位が初期形状(円筒形状)にまだ類似しているか否かを判断して、ワークWの加工部位が初期形状(円筒形状)に類似するときには、(B)初期加熱工程(ステップS102の処理)に戻り、一方、初期形状(円筒形状)に類似しないときには、(D)中間加熱工程に進む。 Then, in the process of step S105, at the end of one pass, the non-contact radiation thermometer 70 detects the temperature of the processed portion of the work W, determines whether the temperature is within the set temperature range, and determines whether the temperature is outside the set temperature range. When it becomes, in the processing of step S106, it is judged whether or not the processed portion of the work W is still similar to the initial shape (cylindrical shape), and the processed portion of the work W is similar to the initial shape (cylindrical shape). When it does, it returns to (B) initial heating process (process of step S102), while when it is not similar to the initial shape (cylindrical shape), it advances to (D) intermediate heating process.

(D)中間加熱工程
次に、ステップS107の処理において、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWを−X方向に後退させてワークWを準備位置に配置した後、中間加熱機構62を加熱位置Aに移動させることで、中間加熱状態にする。次に、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWをX方向に前進させて、ワークWの加工部位の各位置と加熱コイル61b、62bとの間の距離(クリアランス)が一定になるように配置し、加熱コイル61b、62bに所定周波数の交流電流を供給する。これにより、加熱コイル61b、62bにはワークWの加工部位を貫く磁束が発生し、ワークWの加工部位にうず電流が発生する。このようにワークWの加工部位にうず電流を発生させることでワークWの加工部位を加熱する。
そして、ステップS108の処理において、熱電対62cでワークWの加工部位の温度を検出し、設定温度範囲内になったときには加熱を停止して、(E)中間スピニング加工工程に進む。
(D) Intermediate heating step Next, in the process of step S107, the work W is retracted in the -X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 to place the work W at the preparation position, and then the intermediate heating mechanism 62 is moved to the heating position A. By moving it, it becomes an intermediate heating state. Next, the work W is moved forward in the X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 and arranged so that the distance (clearance) between each position of the processed portion of the work W and the heating coils 61b and 62b becomes constant. An alternating current having a predetermined frequency is supplied to the heating coils 61b and 62b. As a result, a magnetic flux penetrating the processed portion of the work W is generated in the heating coils 61b and 62b, and an eddy current is generated in the processed portion of the work W. In this way, the eddy current is generated in the processed portion of the work W to heat the processed portion of the work W.
Then, in the process of step S108, the temperature of the processed portion of the work W is detected by the thermocouple 62c, and when the temperature is within the set temperature range, the heating is stopped and the process proceeds to the (E) intermediate spinning process step.

(E)中間スピニング加工工程
次に、ステップS109の処理において、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWを−X方向に後退させてワークWを準備位置に配置した後、中間加熱機構62を中間加熱機構退避位置Cに移動させることで、成形状態にする。次に、成形ローラ調整軸26により成形ローラ11の径方向の位置を調整し、回転軸24を駆動して成形ローラ11を旋回させる。次に、X軸駆動機構14によってワークWをX方向に前進させてワークWの加工部位の外周面を旋回中の成形ローラ11に接触させる。これにより、ワークWの加工部位をさらに縮径させていく。
(E) Intermediate Spinning Processing Step Next, in the process of step S109, the work W is retracted in the −X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 to place the work W at the preparation position, and then the intermediate heating mechanism 62 is moved to the intermediate heating mechanism. By moving it to the retreat position C, a molding state is achieved. Next, the position of the forming roller 11 in the radial direction is adjusted by the forming roller adjusting shaft 26, and the rotating shaft 24 is driven to rotate the forming roller 11. Next, the work W is moved forward in the X direction by the X-axis drive mechanism 14 to bring the outer peripheral surface of the processed portion of the work W into contact with the forming roller 11 which is rotating. As a result, the processed portion of the work W is further reduced in diameter.

そして、ステップS110の処理において、1パス終了時、非接触式放射温度計70でワークWの加工部位の温度を検出し、設定温度範囲内であるか否かを判断して、設定温度範囲外になったときには、ステップS111の処理において、ワークWの加工部位が最終形状になったか否かを判断して、ワークWの加工部位が最終形状になったときには、本フローチャートを終了させ、一方、最終形状になっていないときには、(D)中間加熱工程(ステップS107の処理)に戻る。 Then, in the process of step S110, at the end of one pass, the non-contact radiation thermometer 70 detects the temperature of the processed portion of the work W, determines whether the temperature is within the set temperature range, and determines whether the temperature is outside the set temperature range. When it becomes, it is judged in the processing of step S111 whether or not the processed portion of the work W has the final shape, and when the processed portion of the work W has the final shape, this flowchart is ended, while If the shape is not the final shape, the process returns to the (D) intermediate heating step (step S107).

以上のように、本発明のスピニング加工方法によれば、ワークWの加工部位を常に均一に設定温度範囲内に加熱することができる。これにより、加工性が悪い(加工可能温度範囲が狭い)7000系アルミ合金でもスピニング加工することができる。 As described above, according to the spinning processing method of the present invention, the processed portion of the work W can always be heated uniformly within the set temperature range. As a result, spinning can be performed even on a 7000-series aluminum alloy having poor workability (narrow working temperature range).
