  • a cup-shaped article former has a hollow cylindrical redraw blankholder which moves from a rearward article feed position axially forwardly into a rearwardly 7/1968 Smith... ..72 349 opening cup-shaped article and positions the article against a redraw die ring maintaining a predetermined pressure thereon while a reciprocal ram moves forwardly internally of the blankholder and article engaging the article and carrying it forwardly between the blankholder and die ring in a drawing operation.
  • the blankholder is moved forwardly and rearwardly between rearward article feed and forward article drawing positions and is maintained precisely positioned in the article drawing position by securement of the blankholder to a blankholder mounting frame secured to forward ends of spaced, reciprocal rods, the rods extending rearwardly of the former and being pivotally connected to upper ends of pivotal cam follower arms.
  • the cam follower arms mount cam followers thereon engaged with cam surfaces of rotatable cams, the cam followers being maintained against'the. cam surfaces under constant pressure of retention air cylinders.
  • a rearwardly compressible and forwardly expansible air cylinder is formed in the blankholder mounting frame for securing the blankholder to the blankholder mounting frame so as to exert a force against the cup-shaped article resisted by the cupshaped article engagement against the redraw die ring 29 Claims, 16 Drawing Figures PATENTEDHEE 5 I972 SHEET 1 [IF 7 INVEN TOR.
  • This invention relates to a'redraw blankholder positioning mechanism for cup-shaped article formers such to accomplish the cup-shaped article feeding, blankholder engagement and ultimate ram advancement, the can body former is necessarily constructed with the blankholder forwardly and rearwardly axially recipro- 5 cal'to permit cup-shaped article feeding and then enas metallic can body formers and thelike wherein the redraw blankholder positioning mechanism permits extremely high speed operation of the article former while still insuring correct and proper high speed feed and placement of the cup-shaped articles in exact proper position for accomplishing repeated predetermined and accurate cup-shaped articles redrawing operations.
  • the improved redraw blankholder positioning mechanismof the present invention is constructed to retain the cup-shaped articles in an exact placement relative to a redraw die ring during advancement, entrance 1 and movement therethrough of a high speed ram which carries the cup-shaped articles from the blankholder and between the blankholder and the die ring for performing accurate redrawing operations on the articles.
  • the redraw blankholder positioning mechanism of the present invention may include unique components insuring proper retainment of the cup-shaped articles in the exact placement immediately prior to and during the ram movement and the performance of the redrawing operations in the die ring, yet such retainment is closely controlled so as to minimize previously prevelant cup-shaped article edge thinning and scalloping which has heretofore normally been encountered in such cup-shaped article redrawing operations.
  • the usual manufacturing procedure has been to first blank and initially draw the cup-shaped articles from sheet metal stock, and particularly where the cup-shaped articles are of metals which are more difficult to form, such as the higher strength aluminums and tinplate, the initially drawn cup-shaped articles are of larger than final diameter and relatively shallow. These larger diameter and relatively shallow cup-shaped articles are then passed through a can body formerbeing subjected therein to an initial redrawing operation followed by a series of subsequent wall ironing operations resulting in the final can bodies.
  • the initially drawn cup-shaped articles are fed consecutively into a position for engagement, one at a time, by a redraw blankholder, positioning the same adjacent a redrawing die ring and followed by a ram entering the blankholder engaging the cup-shaped article and forcing it from the blankholder between the blankholder and redraw die ring and through a series of wall ironing rings in a continuous forward movement of the ram.
  • the initially drawn cup-shaped articles are fed, one at a time, into a part holder, the hollow, cylindrical blankholder engaged therein through the open ends thereof exactly positioning the cup-shaped article relative to the redraw die ring, and the ram is advanced through the blankholder into engagement with the lower wall of the cup-shaped article to advance the same between the blankholder and the redraw die ring and then consecutively through the series of wall ironing rings.
  • the redraw blankholder must be moved from-its rearward withdrawn or part feed position into the cupshaped article by fast acceleration in movement immediately followed by fast deceleration in movement arriving at its final working positioning with the cupshaped article against the redraw die ring without excessive metal to metal impacts, whether between the cup-shaped article and the various machine elements or merely between the various machine elements in carrying out the redraw blankholder movement.
  • cup-shaped articles can be damaged as well as the machine elements engaged therewith and this is particularly true in the case of forming metallic can bodies when the relatively small metal thicknesses are considered.
  • all possible areas of vibration must be eliminated which again can cause wear and damage to the various machine elements and cup-shaped article parts, as well as result in improper placement and retainment of the cup-shaped articles at the initiation of the redraw operation which could result in improperly redrawn and wall ironed parts at the completion thereof.
  • the overall operation is one of a close coordination of a series of vital factors including exact high speed movements of machine elements, exact placement of machine elements at the termination of such high speed movements and an exact timing of such movements in order to achieve the final goal of highspeed mass production of finely redrawn andfwall ironed cup-shaped articles such as metallic can bodies and the like.
  • a cam mechanism including one or more cams and associated cam followers is arranged with mechanically linked, blankholder control rods which reciprocate the'redraw blankholder in a closely controlled and high-speed manner between' the blankholder withdrawn part feed and forward part redraw placement positions insuring the necessary acceleration and deceleration movements of the redraw blankholder without damaging .impacts which could damage cup-shaped articles being formed and the various former elements carrying out such formation.
  • the timing of redraw blankholder movement may be perfectly coordinated with the ram of the article former, again permitting the high-speed operation of the former and high-speed production of accurately formed'cup-shaped articles consistent in size tolerance one part or article to the next.
  • cam mechanism including one or more cams with associated cam followers, but in view of the extremely high speeds involved, the cam followers are retained against their guiding cam surfaces during movements of the cam surface relative to the 'cam followers by closely controlled constantly operable compressible and expansible means resulting in virtually perfect cam follower guiding by the cam surfaces and completed predictable redraw blankholder movement despite the required ,high speed thereof.
  • the constant pressure urging of the cam follower or cam followers in the preferred, form is with the use of air cylinders, the compressibility and expansibility of the air under pressure serving to maintain the cam follower or followers against their guiding cam surfaces.
  • the redraw blankholder is moved and placed through its principle movements by the combined cam and mechanical linkage arrangemennbutthe redraw blankholder is connected to the mechanical linkages providing such movement through preferably a further compressible means in the form of an air cylinder exerting a constant pressure against the redraw blankholder in the blankholder engagement with the cup-shapedarticle being formed and the cup-shaped article against the redraw die ring, thereby automatically adjusting the redraw blankholder placement for slight variations in metal thickness insuring a redrawing operation of maximum.predictable uniformity.
  • the adjusting movement of the redraw blankholder by the air cylinder is closely controlled for maximum closing movement of the blankholder with the redraw die ring so that the blankholder is limited to a predetermined maximum movement short of engaging the die ring during final movement of the cupshaped articles from between the same during the redrawing operation.
  • such predetermined maximum movement or redraw blankholder movement limitation by the air cylinder toward the redraw die ring is accomplished through adjustable stops or limitingcontrols directly associated with the air cylinder, while in another form, a stationary stop or limiting surface stationary relative to the redraw die ring is positioned for engagement during redraw blankholder movement to provide the desired blankholder movement limitation.
  • the resulting high-speed cup-shaped article former including the principles of the present invention is operable over a long period of high-speed production life with minimum maintenance requirements so as to minimize lost production time normally encountered with similar production apparatus.
  • the improved cup-shaped article former of the present invention satisfies a longfelt want and need in the modern mass production of cup-shaped articles with maximum efficiency and while maintaining maximum predictable accuracy not heretofore possible.

  • this blankholder forward movement limiting means is to limit the forward movement of the redraw blankholder 36 when in its forward redrawing position to a predetermined distance rearwardly of and free of engaging the redrawing die ring 42 after the particular semi-drawn can body has been moved forwardly by the ram 24 from between the redraw blankholder 36 and the redrawing die ring 42, as shown in FIG. 15.
  • the necessary drawing retention is supplied to the semi-drawn can body 30 being redrawn as exactly determined by the predetermined pressure in the blankholder pressure cylinder 106, the air within the cylinder being compressible and expansible to permit slight forward and rearward movement of the redraw blankholder for slight metal thickness variations and metal flow in the semi-drawn can body for a proper redrawing operation.
  • the forward limitation of movement of the redraw blankholder 36 by the limiting screws 126 prevents the redraw blankholder from closing completely forwardly therebetween to a predetermined minimum, but less than the metal thickness of the'semi-drawn can body 30 so that thinning and scalloping of the semi-drawn can body trailing edge is minimized and a closely controlled more perfect final finished can body 32 is obtained from the final redrawing and wall. ironing operations.
  • This forward limitation of movement of the redraw blankholder 36' may be obtained in many ways while still accomplishing the same function, an alternate construction being shown in FIG.
  • forward surfaces of the redraw blankholder 36 and or the cylinder 110 are formed to engage a rearward surface of the part positioning yoke 40 stationary relative to the redrawing die ring 42 to accomplish the same limitation of forward movement of the redraw blankholder relative to the redrawing die ring.
  • the earns 56 have now rotated to the appropriate positions and the cam followers 66 move forwardly onto the smaller radius portions of the cam surfaces 64, the cam follower retaining cylinders 74 requiring such movement and thereby moving the redraw blankholder 36 from its rearward part feed position forwardly to its forward redrawing position through the cam follower arms 78, the blankholder actuating rods 84 and 86 and the blankholder frame assembly 54 to the position shown in FIG. 14.
  • the forward working portion of the redraw blankholder 36 enters the rearward open end of the semi-drawn can body 30 engaging the bottom wall thereof and forcing the semidrawn can body forwardly against the redrawing die ring 42, the pressure of forward retention of the semidrawn can body by the redraw blankholder against the redrawing die ring being determined by the air pressure in the air chamber 116 of the blankholder pressure cylinder 106 and the relative rearward movement of the cylinder 110 over the piston 108 as also shown in FIG. 14.
