Definitions

  • a tube rolling mill having two sets of three rolls each which are reciprocatingly driven along a length of a tube supported by a tapered mandrel. Each roll is forced against the tube by its individual cams each having a surface with one or more tapers which are related to multiple mandrel taper in a manner to provide reduction in both wall thickness and inside diameter of the tube.
  • Each roll is provided with a tube contacting groove having in cross-section a central arc with a radius of curvature substantially equal to the smallest radius of that portion of the tube contacted by the roll, with either side of the central are joined by lines tangent thereto with large radii of curvature chosen so that each roll contacts a tube in two zones around its circumference.
  • the rolls are pressed against the tube upon the urging of the tapered cam surface against a roll trunnion.
  • the radius of the trunnion is carefully chosen to control longitudinal forces transferred to the tube by the roll.
  • This invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for reducing and elongating metal tubing and more particularly to improvements in a method and apparatus for reducing and elongating metal tubing with the use of rolls.
  • Metal tubing is used in a wide variety of environments and for many different applications. This requires that the tubing be available with a wide variety of inside and outside diameters and Wall thicknesses. In order to effectively utilize the economies of mass production, metal tubing is initially manufactured in only a few standard sizes. This makes it necessary to modify tubing of a standard manufactured size to obtain a size needed for a particular application involving smaller quantities of tubing than can be economically manufactured directly.
  • a machine for reducing tubing of a standard manufactured size is described by Krause in the Iron and Steel Engineer, August 1938, pages 16-29, and in several patent publications such as US. Pats. Nos. 2,161,064, 2,161,065, and 2,223,039.
  • the machines described therein utilize a single set of two rolls operating against a mandrel supported tube to effect the tubes reduction. Each roll is rolled along a working length of the tube in response to the movement of a cam for controlling the pressures exerted by the roll against the tube. These machines provide for only a limited reduction in wall thickness without significant reduction of the inside diameter of the tube.
  • a machine in which a number of elements are combined to reduce tube wall thickness and additionally reduce the tube inside diameter without a machine complexity any greater than exists in other tube reducing machines.
  • Two sets of three rolls each are provided for contacting a tube with grooves provided around the circumferential edges of each roll.
  • Each roll is rotatably attached to a roll housing and is reciprocated thereby along a working length of a mandrel which is designed to fit within a tube to be reduced.
  • Each set of three rolls is clustered around the tube with their axes of rotation located in a plane substantially perpendicular to the length of the mandrel and displaced from each other.
  • Two sets of rolls are spatially fixed relative to one another in a direction along the length of the mandrel by the roll housing.
  • One set of rolls reduces the tube an intermediate amount and the second set of rolls completes the reduction to the dimensions desired.
  • the axes of rotation of the rolls of one set are displaced 60 from the axes of rotation of the rolls of the other set.
  • the mandrel is tapered along at least a portion of its working length over which the roll housing reciprocates the tube contacting rolls.
  • the rolls are urged toward the mandrel by an individual cam surface for each roll, said cam making a contact with a roll along its surface substantially opposite the tube contacting surface.
  • the cam and mandrel are shaped so that each roll contacts a tube to be reduced during at least a portion of each reciprocating stroke of the roll housing.
  • the tube contacting groove around the outer edge of each roll has a uniform shape in cross-section at any point around the circumference of the roll. As each roll is pressed against a tube and rolled therealong, the outside diameter of the tube becomes smaller.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the groove includes an arcuate portion in the middle thereof having a radius of curvature substantially equal to the smallest radius of the outside surface of a tube portion contacted by that particular roll. On either side of this arcuate portion of the groove is in crosssection a substantially flat portion extending on either side to the edge of the groove, the flat portions joining the arcuate portion as a tangent thereto.
  • a tube contacts the roll groove at two portions (zones) therealong and does so throughout the working stroke until the tube is reduced to an outside radius substantially equal to the radius of curvature of the arcuate portion of the roll groove.
  • the two-zone contact of each roll groove makes more efficient use of the working stroke.
  • a tube is contacted at twelve zones therearound, thereby providing considerably more surface area contact between the rolls and the tube than in other machines. This results in a greater effective volume of metal reduction per rolling stroke and a better quality reduced tube.
  • the cams and the mandrel are cooperatively shaped in a manner to provide a maximum bite of each roll at its contact zones into the tube to be reduced.
  • a maximum bite is provided throughout wall reduction portions of the working stroke and is slightly less than the bite which will strain any portion of the tube to its point of rupture. At the beginning of the working stroke, this bite is much larger than at the end of the working stroke. This maximum bite at points along the tube is dependent upon, among other things, the material of the tube being reduced. Such a maximization of the roll bite additionally improves the reduction possible in a given working length of the machine.
  • the cams are attached to a cam housing which is reciprocated along the length of the mandrel in order to contact the rolls and guide them against the tube without significant slippage between each roll and its cams. Instead of contacting the outer circumference of the roll, the cams are designed to contact trunnions provided on either side of each roll. This has the advantage that a larger bearing surface may be provided to prolong the life of the rolls and the cams, as well as to allow an adjustment which is beneficial to the tube rolling process.
  • the roll housing and cam housing are driven from a common motor source with a constant ratio of velocities therebetween.
  • This velocity ratio and the relationship between the radius of the rolls trunnions and the radius of that portion of the roll groove contacting a tube at a specific point thereof determines the degree to which the roll will tend to apply torque to the tube and cams, and thereby determines the tendency of the groove to slip against the surface of the tube when the tube is adequately held against lateral movement.
  • the torque forces causing such slippage vary along the working length of the tube since the effective radius of the roll varies therealong. It has been found desirable to control the torque forces tending to slip the roll against the tube in a manner to compensate for the horizontal forces applied to the tube by a roll biting into the tube wall. Such compensation allows mandrel and tube gripping devices to more accurately position the tube. The compensation also allows larger roll bites, thereby accomplishing more tube reduction in a given working length.

  • a cam housing 11 is reciprocated relative to a machine frame 13 along a slide 15 in substantially a straight line.
  • a rod 21 (partially broken away) is connected between the fiy wheel 19 at a crank pin 20 and the cam housing 11 to convert rotary motion of the flywheel to reciprocable motion of the cam housing.
  • Within the cam housing 11 is a reciprocatable roll housing 23, shown removed from the cam housing for clarity of illustration.
  • a pinion gear 25 engages a rack 27 that is rigidly attached to the frame 13.
  • a second pinion gear 26 engages a rack 29 that is rigidly attached to the cam housing 11.
  • the pinion gears 25 and 26 are concentric about a common axis of rotation 30 and are non-rotatable relative to each other.
  • the reciprocable motion of the axis of rotation 30 of the pinion gear 25 is communicated to the roll housing 23 by means of a connecting rod 31 (shown herein as two sections since the roll housing 23 is shown removed from the cam housing 11).
  • the cam housing 11 has a maximum reciprocation stroke distance that is equal to the diameter of the circular path taken by the crank pin 20. From the geometry of the driving arrangement of FIG. 1, the roll housing 23 has a maximum reciprocation stroke distance that is equal to the maximum stroke of the cam housing 11 multiplied by the diameter of the pinion gear 25 and then divided by the sum of the diameters of the pinion gears 25 and 26.
  • cam housing stroke distance is equal to the sum of the roll housing stroke and the working stroke length of the cams (the distance along each cam that contacts a roll trunnion) within the cam housing. It follows, then, that the cam length contacted by each roll bears the same relationship to the roll housing stroke as a ratio of the diameter of the cam housing pinion gear 26 to the diameter of the roll housing pinion gear 25.
  • a tube 33 to be reduced is inserted through an opening 35 of the roll housing 23, and is carried by a mandrel 37.
  • the mandrel 37 is rigidly held fixed relative to the machine frame 13 by an appropriate gripping device 36, which also provides for removing the mandrel.
  • An appropriate apparatus 38 is provided for positively gripping the tube 33 and advancing it linearly over a working length of the mandrel 37, and further to incrementally rotate the tube.

  • Each roll has a trunnion formed on either side thereof, such as trunnions 51 and 53 on either side of the roll 45, Each roll is associated with a pair of cam tracks upon which its pair of trunnions ride.
  • the two cams associated with each roll are designated herein with the same number as the roll but with an asterisk placed after the reference number of one of the cam tracks and a double asterisk placed after the number referring to the other of the cam tracks.
  • the cams are long metal bars shaped in a manner discussed hereinafter and rigidly attached to the cam housing 11. This attachment is accomplished through a recessed member for each pair of cams, such as a recessed member 55 which is shaped to support the earns 45* and 45*? Notice that the cams 45* and 45" each have a sloped side surface which allows fastening them to the recessed member 55 by a wedge 57 which is attached to the recessed member by a threaded fastener 58.
  • the schematic diagram of FIG. 4 illustrates operation of the rolling mill illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • the mandrel 37 is shown in cross-section along its length which includes a tube working zone BJ wherein at all points therealong the tube 33 is contacted by one or both sets of rolls to accomplish reduction either in wall thickness or inside diameter or both.
  • the mandrel has a diameter d at its large end which is something slightly less than the inside diameter of the starting tube 33, thereby allowing the tube to be slid easily over the mandrel.
  • the small end of the mandrel has a diameter (1 which is substantially equal to the desired inside diameter of the reduced tube.
  • the mandrel 37 is gradually tapered within the tube working zone from one of these diameters to the other. This taper is significantly in excess of that required for tube relief.
  • the diameters d and d may differ by 20% or 30% or more, depending on the tube inside diameter reduction desired.
  • FIG. 4 In order to demonstrate the cooperation between the cams and the mandrel, one roll from each of the two sets of rolls is shown in FIG. 4 as if they operated in the same plane so that the relationship between them and their cooperation in reducing the tube are illustrated.

  • the roll 45 is caused to be lifted from the tube 33 at about the position I, as shown by the path [45] of the roll, away from the tube.
  • the roll 39 arrives at the position I at the same time the roll 45 arrives at the position K to complete the first one-half of the working stroke.
  • the rolls 39 and 45 then move back to their beginning positions A and D, respectively, to complete one working stroke cycle.
  • the cam working length as used herein is a horizontal projection of the length of a cam surface contacted by the trunnion.

  • the shape of the tube 33 shown in FIG. 4 within the working zone represents the finished shape thereof after a working stroke and before the tube is fed an increment in preparation for the next working stroke.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a preferred arrangment for major inside diameter reduction. The following tabulation describes the work done by the roll 39 within the working zone between lettered positions along the length of the tube:
  • the man.- drel has one or more straight line tapers.
  • the cams are shaped cooperatively therewith, each having a plurality of straight line tapers.
  • the cams of FIG. 4 have their roll containing surfaces marked with subscripted letters corresponding to the lettered positions along the tube. For example, when the roll 39 is positioned at E along the tube, the cam 39* is contacting the trunnion at position E
  • Straight line tapers are preferred for the cams and the mandrel since they are easy to machine, although continuous curves may also be employed.
  • the portion B -F of the cam 39* may be shaped differently relative to the portion BF of the mandrel than as shown to effect tube wall reduction between B-F instead of tube diameter reduction.
  • the elements may be designed so that the rolls 39 and 45 overlap in their work zones along a portion of the tube, preferably with dissimilar cam tapers acting on the two rolls in this common length of the tube.
  • cer tain applications may require only a single taper along a working length of each of one set of cams.
  • the cams and rolls described herein may be used with a mandrel having little or no taper.
  • the controlling cam and mandrel tapers are designed for a bite of the rolls into the tube at each point within this portion that is approximately the same percentage of the wall thickness at that point before the roll. This maximizes the efficiency of the wall thickness reduction, thereby allowing more reduction to be accomplished in a shorter portion of the working stroke.
  • Multiple straight line tapers on the cams may be employed to approximate this constant percentage although continuous curved cam surfaces are more exact. The amount of tube feed for each stroke is then adjusted to a maximum for a given tube material just short of that which ruptures the tube, thereby maximizing productivity of the machine.

  • a circle 95 represents the largest outside tube radius which the roll groove is designed to contact, that of the beginning tube for the roll 39 and that of the tube at position F for the roll 45 in FIG. 4.
  • This roll groove design provides two zones of contact for each roll against the outside of the tube between the tubes larger portion (95) and substantially until its smallest portion (93).
  • Such two-zone rolling accomplishes more reduction in a given working zone of a tube when compared to a roll groove providing only one zone of contact with the tube.

  • required rolling forces, and thus machine wear are reduced.
  • the radius of the arcuate center portion 81 of the roll groove may be made 1 or 2 percent less than the smallest outside tube radius to be contacted by the roll groove, thereby extending two zone rolling over the entire length of the tube contacted by the roll whereby roll life is extended.
  • An arcuate center portion 81 with a radius significantly smaller than the finished tube outside radius (in the extreme the groove becomes V-shaped) results in a finished reduced tube surface that is irregular and rough.
  • the tangential portions 89 and 91 of the roll groove are shown in FIG. 5 as straight lines. However, these portions of the groove may, alternatively, be given a curvature with one or more finite radii of curvature.
  • the edges 97 and 99 of the roll groove may be curved to eliminate the sharp corner which can damage the tube surface.
  • the remaining segments of the tangential portions 89 and 91 may then remain straight or may be curved slightly, either concave or convex. If part of the tangential portions is made concave, tube wall shear decreases further since the total area of tube contact becomes larger. However, the edges of the groove are then brought closer to the tube outside wall by such a concave shape which places limits on the maximum tube bite that may be taken by such a roll groove. If part of the tangential groove is made convex, the groove edges are removed further from the tube wall thereby allowing an increased tube bite without the edges of the groove scoring the tube surface.
  • the roll is also subjected to restraining forces at its center 107 by the roll housing in which the roll is journaled.
  • the bite B of the roll into the tube is substantially equal to zero, as shown in the FIG. 6A modification of the general case shown in FIG. 6.
  • the amount of bite B at any particular position along the tube is determined, as discussed hereinabove with respect to FIG. 4, by the relative shapes of the mandrel and the roll cams.

  • the torque force is minimized by careful selection of the trunnion radius r
  • the torque force applied to the tube 100 is zero when the roll groove contacts the tube with a zero velocity relative thereto as the roll proceeds along the length of the tube. This zero velocity condition is met when the following expression is satisfied:
  • Equation 2 The quantity N is defined in Equation 2 as a convenience so the relationship between a trunnion radius r,; and a troll radius r may be expressed as follows to obtain a condition of zero torque force applied to the tube by the roll:
  • Nr is referred to herein as the effective roll trunnion radius.
  • the tube is driven in a direction opposite to that taken by the roll along its length by a torque applied by the roll. Conversely, if the effective trunnion radius is greater than r, the tube is driven by the torque in the same direction in which the roll is traveling.
  • the effective trunnion radius is made less than the roll radius r in order for a roll torque force to be produced which tends to drive the tube 100 in a direction along its length opposite to that of the rolling direction.
  • the horizontal force h created thereby on the tube 100 increases and the need for compensation to prevent excessive machine element stresses becomes greater.
