Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method of bending a long length of a member being approximately L-shaped or U-shaped in cross section in the longitudinal direction and a bending apparatus for use in such method.
- 2. Prior Art and Problems to be resolved by the Invention
- It is difficult to form a long length of a member which is approximately L-shaped or U-shaped in cross section and curved in the direction of the length thereof as a unity, and therefore, in conventional method, such a member is manufactured by dividing a member into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction and by welding the bent parts after bending the divided parts separately. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, a long length of a member having such a shape as described above is manufactured as the whole member by dividing a member into a
member 31 not having the bending in the longitudinal direction, amember 32 having a largely bending part in the longitudinal direction and amember 33 having a small bending part in the longitudinal direction, manufacturing parts having these divided shapes separately and welding these manufactured parts. Therefore, to manufacture the long length of the member having such a shape as described above, many steps are required and the manufacturing cost becomes high. Accordingly, to reduce the manufacturing cost of the above-mentioned long length of the member, it is required to research forming as a unity. - Currently, as a method of forming a long length of a member as a unity, there are methods utilizing draw forming or bending divided into tow processes, the bending of the direction of cross section and the bending of the longitudinal direction. However, in draw forming, draw forming must be carried out using steel plate having a dimension sufficiently larger than the steel plate to which completed products is spread because steel plate must be restrained in machining, and excessive parts must be eliminated by laser cutting or plasma cutting after draw forming. Therefore, there is a defect that material yield decreases in draw forming.
- Further, a forming object of draw forming i usually a thin plate (thickness is 0.6 mm to 2.3 mm), it is said that it is difficult to draw form a thick plate (for example, thickness of 4.5 mm or more). And, if draw forming of the thick plate is performed the facilities which have the ability of pressing being capable of draw forming the thick plate and the molds with the corresponding high hardness are required, and therefore the cost of equipment required becomes enormous. Accordingly, it is impossible to reduce the manufacturing cost in bending the long length of the member described above by draw forming.
- On the other hand, in a method of bending divided into two processes, a shape in transverse cross section is first formed by the bending of a first process, and then a shape in the longitudinal direction is formed by the bending of a second process. The bending method of the second process is intended to carry out the bending by supporting both ends of the long length of the member by a
lower mold 35 forming an outer bent shape of the long length of the member and by pressing a part to be a largelybending part 43 of theplatelike bottom portion 41 of the long length of the member by anupper mold 36 forming an inner bent shape of the long length of the member. However, in such a bending method, it is a problem to cause buckling in free end side of theflanges 42 is which the large deformation is produced due to contraction. The occurrence of a member is bent to a large extent. - Accordingly, to reduce the manufacturing cot, it is required to research a machining method in which, in a method of bending divided into two processes, buckling does not occur in free end of
flange 42 in bending in the longitudinal direction. - This invention ha been invented to resolve the above-mentioned conventional defects and it is an object of the invention to provide a method of bending a long length of a member and a bending apparatus which are capable of preventing a wrinkle from occurring in flanges of a long length of a member due to buckling of free end sides of the flanges in bending the long length of the member in the longitudinal direction, which is approximately L-shaped or U-shaped in cross section and has a platelike bottom portion and flanges installed in a standing manner at the end of the plate like bottom portion. Also on object of the invention is to provide a method of bending a long length of a member and a bending apparatus which are capable of setting and taking out a long length of a member easily in bending described above.
- Means of Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention
- And so, a method of bending a long length of a member of
claim 1 is the method of bending, wherein, in a long length of a member which has aplatelike bottom portion 1 and flanges 2 installed in a standing manner at the end of theplatelike bottom portion 1, free end sides of the flanges 2 shrink andplatelike bottom portion 1 sides of the flanges 2 expand, characterized in that, in bending the long length of the member by using an inner formingassembly 20 forming an inner bent shape of the long length of the member and an outer formingassembly 6 forming an outer bent shape of the long length of the member and by pressing theplatelike bottom portion 1 in the above-mentioned outer formingassembly 6 with the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20, the above-mentioned flanges 2 are pressed from both sides thereof between asidewall 8 of the above-mentioned outer formingassembly 6 and the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20, respectively, and bending is carried out while doing the ironing of the above-mentioned flanges 2 with the above-mentionedsidewall 8 and the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20. - And, a bending apparatus for a long length of a member of claim2 is the bending apparatus for carrying out the bending in which, in a long length of a member having a
platelike bottom portion 1 and flanges 2 installed in a standing manner at the end of theplatelike bottom portion 1, free end sides of the flanges 2 shrink andplatelike bottom portion 1 sides of the flanges 2 expand, including an inner formingassembly 20 forming an inner bent shape of the long length of the member and an outer formingassembly 6 forming an outer bent shape of the long length of the member, bending the long length of the member by pressing theplatelike bottom portion 1 in the above-mentioned outer formingassembly 6 with the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20, characterized in that the above-mentioned flanges 2 are pressed from both sides thereof between asidewall 8 provided in the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20, respectively, and the bending is carried out so as to do the ironing of the above-mentioned flanges 2 with the above-mentionedsidewall 8 and the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20. - In accordance with the above-mentioned method of bending a long length of a member of
claim 1 and the above-mentioned bending apparatus for a long length of a member of claim 2, it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles effectively, which are going to be produced at flanges 2 due to bending the long length of the member. That is, by pressing theplatelike bottom portion 1 of the long length of the member in the outer formingassembly 6 by the inner formingassembly 20, the deformation that free end sides of flanges 2 shrink andplatelike bottom portion 1 sides of the flanges 2 expand is produced in the longitudinal direction of the long length of the member. The wrinkles resulting from buckling are going to be produced at flanges 2 due to the deformation. However, since thesidewalls 8 provided in the longitudinal direction of the outer formingassembly 6 press respective flanges 2 against the inner formingassembly 20, and thesidewall 8 and the inner formingassembly 20 do the ironing of the flanges 2, it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles. - And, a bending apparatus for a long length of a member of
claim 3 has a forming pad 9 and dieplates 10 in the longitudinal direction in such a way that an outer formingassembly 6 forms an outer bent shape of the long length of the member, and is characterized in that the above-mentioned forming pad 9 is installed so as to be capable of projecting and retracting by being applied with a force toward the direction of the above-mentioned inner formingassembly 20 by ameans 16 of applying a force and the sides of the above-mentioned forming pad 9 of the above-mentioneddie plates 10 are installed rotatably following a projection/retraction of the above-mentioned forming pad 9. - In accordance with the bending apparatus for a long length of a member of
claim 3, by pressing theplatelike bottom portion 1 of the long length of the member by the inner formingassembly 20, the forming pad 9 retracts and the sides of the forming pad 9 of thedie plates 10 are rotated to the direction of a retraction of the forming pad 9, and a bending fulcrum of the long length of the member is extended gradually toward both ends of the long length of the member and a largely bendingpart 3 is formed gradually. Thereby, since free end sides of the flanges 2 of the largely bendingpart 3 shrink gradually, it is possible to prevent free end sides of the flanges 2 from buckling effectively. - Furthermore, as the forming pad9 retracts, the ironing is applied to each flange 2 of the long length of the member through a side face of the

- Next, referring to the drawings, there is illustrated in detail a specific embodiment of a method of bending a long length of a member and a bending apparatus for a long length of a member of the present invention. The present embodiment shows the method of bending a long length of the member A and the bending apparatus for use in such method as shown in FIG. 1 as one example of a method of bending a long length of the member and a bending apparatus for use in such method.
- First, a bending apparatus for a long length of a member A will be described. The bending apparatus for the long length of the member A includes an outer forming
assembly 6 and an inner formingassembly 20. Referring to the outer formingassembly 6, FIGS. 2 shows the whole view of the outer formingassembly 6 and FIG. 2(a) is a top plan view, (b) is a sectional front elevation view and (c) is a sectional side elevation view. The outer formingassembly 6 has abase 7,sidewalls 8, a forming pad 9 and dieplates 10. Thebase 7 is approximately rectangular and has a groove 11 extending in the longitudinal direction at the midsection thereof. A pair ofsidewalls 8 opposed to each other is provided in the groove 11. Thesidewalls 8 are approximately in forms of a landscape rectangular plate, placed and held on a bottom surface of the groove 11 to be installed in a standing manner in the transverse direction of the groove 11 and arranged in such a way that the height thereof become rearly equal to the height of the side faces of the groove 11. - A
rectangular cavity 12 extending upward is provided at the midsection of a bottom face of the groove 11 between thesidewalls 8. The forming pad 9 is inserted movably up and down into therectangular cavity 12. The dieplates 10 are installed on both sides of the forming pad 9.Gaps 13 are provided between thesidewall 8 and the forming pad 9 and between thesidewall 8 and thedie plate 10. Thegaps 13 are provided for thesidewalls 8 to move. The dieplates 10 are supported bypins 14 on the outer sides relative to thebase 7 and installed rotatably up and down on the inner sides. There is the following relation between the forming pad 9 and thedie plates 10 described above. That is, the forming pad 9 has inclinedportions 15 inclined downward on the sides ofrespective die plate 10 and respective tips of the inner sides of thedie plates 10 are placed and held on theinclined portion 15. Therefore, there is the relation that the forming pad 9 sides of thedie plates 10 rotate up and down following up-and-down movements of the forming pad 9. Further, aspring 16 is installed at a bottom face of the forming pad 9 sides project upward, and bottom faces of thedie plates 10 and a top face of thebase 7 are in the condition of not contacting. Further, a top face of the forming pad 9 and top faces of thedie plates 10 are installed so as to be lower than the height of thesidewalls 8. - FIGS.3 shows the whole view of the inner forming
assembly 20 and FIG. 3(a) is a bottom plan view, (b) is a front elevation view and (c) is a sectional side elevation view. The inner formingassembly 20 has a base 21 apunch 22 andwedge plates 23. Thebase 21 is approximately rectangular and thepunch 22 is attached to a bottom face thereof and a pair ofwedge plates punch 22. Thepunch 22 has a configuration of which a midsection projects downward like a mountain, and tip portion thereof forms an inner shape of the long length of the member A.Respective wedge plates 23 are approximately in forms of a landscape rectangular plate and includes thewedge portion 23 a located at a front-end thereof and a restrainingportion 23 b located above the wedge portion. Thewedge plates 23 are attached to a bottom face of thebase 7 so as to be vertical downward in the direction of the plate thickness. When the inner formingassembly 20 is fitted into the outer formingassembly 6, thepunch 22 is inserted between thesidewalls 8 of the outer formingassembly 6. Thepunch 22 abuts against the top face of the forming pad 9 installed between thesidewalls 8 and the forming pad 9 is lowered by pressing force of thepunch 22. As the forming pad 9 is lowered, the inner end sides of thedie plates 10 are rotated downward and a bottom face of thedie plate 10 abuts against a top face of abase 7 at the lowest end the forming pad 9. In the time, the top face of the forming pad 9 and the top face of thedie plate 10 are installed so as to form an outer shape of the long length of the member A. That is, the top face of the forming pad 9 has a concave portion for largely bending in the longitudinal direction and the top face of thedie plate 10 has a concave portion for small bending in the longitudinal direction. - Here, a moving mechanism for the
sidewalls 8 will be illustrated.Vertical grooves 17, which are approximately U-shaped in cross section, extending vertically are formed beside the groove 11 of the outer formingassembly 6. Thevertical grooves 17 are provided to insert thewedge plates 23 installed to the inner formingassembly 20 into it. On the other hand, tip thickness of thewedge portion 23 a of thewedge plate 23 installed to the inner formingassembly 20 is set to a dimension smaller than the depth of thevertical groove 17 and thickness of the restrainingportion 23 b is set to a dimension larger than the depth of thevertical groove 17. Further, the difference between the thickness of the restrainingportion 23 b of thewedge plate 23 and the depth of thevertical groove 17 is set so as to become nearly equal to the width of agap 13 provided between thesidewall 8 and the forming pad 9 and between thesidewall 8 and thedie plate 10. - When the inner forming
assembly 20 is lowered together with the start of the bending, thewedge plates 23, respectively, installed to the inner formingassembly 20 are inserted into thevertical groove 17 provided in the outer formingassembly 6. When thewedge portion 23 a of thewedge plate 23 are inserted into thevertical groove 17 to some extent, thewedge portions 23 a abut against a bottom face of thevertical groove 17 and side faces ofsidewalls 8. And so, thesidewalls 8, placed and held on a bottom surface of the groove 11 of a top face of thebase 7 and not secured, move inside gradually. - Next, a method of bending the long length of the member A will be described. FIGS4 to 8 show sectional diagrammatic sketches representing in stage the bending of the long length of the member A. In each drawing, drawing number (a) indicates a sectional front elevation view and (b) indicates a sectional side elevation view. First, the long length of the member A formed to have a predetermined shape in transverse cross section is carried between the
sidewalls 8 of the outer formingassembly 6 with the free end sides of flanges 2 up and set on the top faces of the forming pad 9 and thedie plates 10 installed between thesidewalls 8. In this time, thesidewalls 8 position on the outer sides, the forming pad 9 is applied with a force upward by aspring 16 provided at the bottom face of the forming pad 9 and the inner sides of thedie plates 10 are rotated upward following the forming pad 9. - By lowering the inner forming
assembly 20, thewedge portions 23 a of thewedge plates 23 installed to the inner formingassembly 20 are inserted into thevertical groove 17 provided in the outer formingassembly 6. When thewedge portions 23 a of thewedge plates 23 are inserted into thevertical groove 17 by the specified depth, thewedge portions 23 a abut against the bottom face of thevertical groove 17 and the side faces ofsidewall 8. On the other hand, thesidewalls 8 are placed and held on a bottom surface of the groove 11 provided on the top face of thebase 7 of the outer formingassembly 6 and are not secured. Therefore, thesidewalls 8 are pressed by thewedge portions 23 a to move inside (FIG. 4). And, by lowering the inner formingassembly 20 further, the restrainingportions 23 b of thewedge plates 23 installed to the inner formingassembly 20 are inserted into thevertical groove 17 of the outer formingassembly 6, and the side faces of thesidewalls 8 are pressed against the side faces of the forming pad 9 and thedie plates 10. - On the other hand, the
punch 22 attached to the inner formingassembly 20 is inserted between thesidewalls 8 of the outer formingassembly 6 and a tip of thepunch 22 is impacted into the inside of the long length of the member A. By pressing a part to be a largely bendingpart 3 of the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A by thepunch 22, the long length of the member A is bent as a bending fulcrum of both sides of a concave portion for largely bending of a top face of the forming pad 9. And, the forming pad 9 is lowered and the sides of the forming pad 9 of thedie plates 10 are rotated downward following a descent of the forming pad 9 by pressing force of the punch 22 (FIG. 5). When the inner formingassembly 20 is lowered further, by pressing a part to be a largely bendingpart 3 of the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A by a tip of thepunch 22 keeping thesidewall 8 restrained, the forming pad 9 is lowered further and thedie plates 10 are rotated downward. Thereby, a bending fulcrum of the long length of the member A is extended from both sides of a concave portion for largely bending of a top face of the forming pad 9 to the sides of thedie plates 10 depending on bending in the longitudinal direction and a largely bendingpart 3 of the long length of the member A is formed gradually. - The deformation that free end sides of flanges2 shrink and platelike
bottom portion 1 sides of the flanges 2 expand in the longitudinal direction of the long length of the member is produced by this bending and the wrinkles are going to be produced gradually at flanges 2. However, since respective flanges 2 are pressed against side faces of thepunch 22 by side faces of thesidewall 8, the occurrence of wrinkles will be restrained (FIG. 6). - When the inner forming
assembly 20 is lowered further, the tip of thepunch 22 presses the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A further while side faces of thesidewalls 8 press respective flanges 2 against side faces of thepunch 22, the forming pad 9 is lowered and thedie plates 10 are rotated downward. Therefore, the bending fulcrum of the long length of the member A is extended to both sides of the long length of the member A. By this bending, and the wrinkles are going to be produced newly at flanges 2. However, since respective flanges 2 are pressed against the side faces of thepunch 22 by the side faces of thesidewalls 8, the occurrence of wrinkles will be restrained (FIG. 7). - Here as the forming pad9 is lowered, the ironing is applied to each flange 2 of the long length of the member A through the side faces of the
sidewall 8 and the side faces of thepunch 22. As the forming pad 9 is lowered, the sides of the forming pad 9 of thedie plates 10 are rotated downward, and therefore the flanges 2 applied with the ironing is extended gradually toward both ends of the long length of the member A and this results in the ironing of the whole flange 2. Therefore, it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles further. - When the inner forming
assembly 20 is lowered further, the tip of thepunch 22 presses the part to be the largely bendingpart 3 of the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A while the side faces of thesidewalls 8 press the respective flanges 2 against side faces of thepunch 22, the forming pad 9 reaches at the lowest end and a bottom face of thedie plates 10 abuts against a top face of abase 7. In this time, a top face of the forming pad 9 and a top face of thedie plate 10 form an outer shape of the long length of the member A and the long length of the member A is forcedly pressed against the top face of the forming pad 9 and the top face of thedie plate 10 by thepunch 22. Thereby, the long length of the member A is pressed against a concave portion for largely bending provided on the top face of the forming pad 9 and a concave portion for small bending provided on the top face of thedie plate 10, and therefore a largely bendingpart 3 and a small bending part of the long length of the member A are formed in the longitudinal direction and the bending of the long length of the member A is completed (FIG. 8). - After the completion of the bending, the inner forming
assembly 20 is raised, thepunch 22 is drawn from between thesidewalls 8 and thewedge plates 23 are drawn from thevertical groove 17. Accordingly, thesidewalls 8 are freed from the constraints of thewedge plates 23 and the distance between thesidewalls 8 is expanded outward of itself. Since the distance between thesidewalls 8 is expanded, the long length of the member A may be taken out from the outer formingassembly 6 easily after the completion of the bending. - In accordance with the above-mentioned method of bending a long length of a member A and the above-mentioned bending apparatus for a long length of a member A, it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles effectively, which are going to be produced at flanges2 die to bending the long length of the member A. That is, by pressing a largely bending
part 3 of the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A by thepunch 22 provided in the inner formingassembly 20, the deformation that free end sides of flanges 2 shrink and platelikebottom portion 1 sides of the flanges 2 expand is produced in the longitudinal direction of the long length of the member A. The wrinkles are going to be produced at flange 2 due to the deformation. However, since a side face of thesidewalls 8 pre respective flanges 2 against a side face of thepunch 22, and the side face of thesidewall 8 and the side face of thepunch 22 do the ironing of the flanges 2, it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles. - And, in the outer forming
assembly 6, the forming pad 9 is applied with a force upward by aspring 16, a means for applying a force, provided at the bottom face and thedie plates 10 supported bypins 14 are installed on both sides of the forming pad 9. Thedie plates 10 are placed and held on aninclined portion 15 provided on the forming pad 9 at a tip of the bottom face thereof and installed rotatably following up-and-down movement of the forming pad 9. Therefore, by pressing a part to be a largely bendingpart 3 of the platelikebottom portion 1 of the long length of the member A by thepunch 22 installed in the inner formingassembly 20, the forming pad 9 is lowered and the sides of the forming pad 9 of thedie plates 10 are rotated downward, and a bending fulcrum of the long length of the member A is extended gradually toward both ends of the long length of the member A and a largely bendingpart 3 is formed gradually. Thereby, since free end sides of the flanges 2 of the largely bendingpart 3 shrink gradually, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of buckling of the flanges 2 effectively. - Here, as the firming pad9 is lowered, the ironing is applied to each flange 2 of the long length of the member A through the side faces of the
sidewall 8 and the side faces of thepunch 22. As the forming pad 9 is lowered, the sides of the forming pad 9 of thedie plates 10 are rotated downward, and therefore the flanges 2 applied with the ironing is extended gradually toward both ends of the long length of the member A and this results in the ironing of the whole flange 2, and so it is possible to restrain the occurrence of wrinkles further. - Further, each
sidewall 8 provided in the outer formingassembly 6 has a moving mechanism for moving inside. Therefore, when the long length of the member A is set to the outer formingassembly 6, the long length of the member A mat be set to the outer formingassembly 6 easily since thesidewalls 8 position on outer sides, and when bending, thepunch 22 is inserted between thesidewalls 8 and thesidewalls 8 are moved to inner sides by thewedge plates 23 and abut 2 against the flanges 2, and bending is carried out while doing the ironing of the flanges 2 with the side faces of thesidewalls 8 and the side faces of thepunch 22, and after bending is completed, thepunch 22 is drawn from between thesidewalls 8 and thewedge plates 23 are drawn from thevertical groove 17, and thesidewalls 8 are freed from the constraints of thewedge plates 23 and move so as to expand the distance between thesidewalls 8 outward of itself. Accordingly, the long length of the member A may be taken out from the outer formingassembly 6 easily.
