  • This invention provides an improved bending die, particularly useful in bending machines and with internally supporting mandrels, for bending large diameter pipes.
  • the improved bending die according to this invention presents to the pipe a hard, substantially unyielding, longitudinal bearing surface from the apex of the concave are of the die to preselected points along the concave are on either side of the apex. From these points outward on either side of the concave arc of the die, the improved bending die according to this invention presents to the pipe a longitudinal bearing surface which is compressible to a selected degree and which has a low coefficient of friction.
  • an object of this invention to provide an improved bending die against which a large diameter pipe may be bent with substantially fewer defects 2 and irregularities being produced in the pipe than produced by dies presently used in the art.
  • FIG. I is an isometric view, schematically showing a typical bending die and its relationship to a large diameter pipe and a strongback.
  • FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of a typical bending die presently used in the art.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the improved bending die taken at line 3-3 in FIG. I with the pipe being omitted and only a portion of the strips comprising the bearing surfaces according to this invention being shown.
  • FIG. 4 is an end, elevational view of the improved bending die taken at line 4-4 in FIG. 1, with a pipe in the die but no pressure applied to the pipe.
  • FIG-5 is an additional end elevational view of the improved bending die taken at line 4-4 in FIG. 1, with bending pressure having been applied to the pipe and the pipe bent against the die, but with the strongback being omitted.
  • FIG.-6 is a partial detail sectional view taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the die showing portions of the strips comprising the first and second bearing surfaces.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates schematically the usual and preferred relationship between a bending die 10 and a large diameter pipe 12.
  • the pipe is cradled in a strongback 14 in a manner taught in the art described above.
  • a suitable mandrel (not shown), such as taught in the art described above, is situated inside the pipe to support the pipe internally during bending.
  • Means well known in the art described above are utilized to hold the bending die 10 stationary and apply necessary force to the strongback 14 to rotate it in the direction denoted by the arrows 16 about a preselected axis 18.
  • a holding shoe 19 prevents the opposite end of the pipe from being pivoted downward.
  • the pipe 12 is bent by the strongback facing it against and into engagement with the internal bearing surfaces of the bending die 10.
  • the body of the bending die 10 may be constructedin any of numerous ways known to the art. Preferably, it is constructed so as to provide a support member 20 with outwardly extending flanges or shoulders 22.
  • the mode of construction of the support member 20 is not critical to this invention, so long as it is capable of being held stationary and is constructed of some hard, substantially unyieldable substance.
  • the outwardly extending flanges or shouls ders 22 extend along the longitudinal length of the support member 20 and the upper portion thereof engages with the means (not shown) for holding the bending die stationary.
  • the inward facing bearing surface of support member has a preselected shape depending upon the diameter of the pipe and the bend to be imparted to the pipe.
  • the inward facing surface 24 thereof is transversely concave -the concave arc preferably being generally semicircular with a very slight (in the order of 1 percent of the diameter) outward bulge inits sides.
  • the inward facing surface 24 thereof is longitudinally convex.
  • the bending portion of the longitudinal bearing surface of support member 20 is between vertical planes 28 and 29 (shown as dashed lines).
  • the line on the inward facing bearing surface 24 formed by a vertical plane through the longitudinal axis of the support member intersecting with the bearing surface is referred to as the apex line of the bearing surface.
  • FIG. 2 which shows an end elevational view of a bending die, such as is presently used in the art, with a large diameter pipe therein.
  • pipe 12 When there is no pressure on the strongback 14, as illustrated in FIG. 2, pipe 12 is in contact with the inward facing bearing surface of sup port member 20 only along its nadir concave arc.
  • the pipe As upward force is applied to the pipe by the strongback 14, the pipe is bent longitudinally against the bending portion of the bearing surface of the die and the sides of the pipe attempt to bulge outward against thesides of the concave support member 20.
  • Force vectors are shown in FIG. 2 at various points around the outer cir-. cumference of the pipe denoting the forces of the pipe against the bearing surface 24.
  • a first bearing surface longitudinally along the inward facing surface of the support member from the apex line thereof to preselected points outward along the concave are on either side of the apex line.
  • the concave shape of this first bearing surface should correspond to the outer shape of the pipe to be bent and, accordingly, is preferably circular with the same outside radius as the pipe.
  • This first bearing surface is constructed of a very hard, durable material, and functions as the main external support for the pipe in the direction of the bend. From the preselected points outward along both directions of the transverse concave arc and longitudinally along the length of the support member there is provided an additional bearing surface, referred to herein as the second bearing surface.
  • the second bearing surface presents to the pipe at all times a semicircular concave are having a radius equal to the outside radius of the pipe and functions to provide support to the pipe to prevent it from bulging outward while being bent.
  • the second bearing surface preferably is compressible to a selected degree and presents a low coefficient of friction to the pipe whereby the exterior coating of the pipe is not damaged as it slides against these bearing surfaces.
  • the first bearing surface 31 is comprised of a plurality of strips 34 of hard material, such as brass or steel.
  • the second bearing surface 32 is constructed of a plurality of said strips 34 of hard material, such as brass or steel, having bonded thereto a thin band 35 of material which is compressible to a preselected degree and which has a low coefficient of friction. It is preferable that these compressible bands 35 be constructed of polyurethane solid elastomer having a hardness in the durometer ranges of 60-95 on the Shore A scale or 50-65 on the Shore D scale.
  • Each strip 34 preferably is removably secured to support member 20 by lapping the strip over each end of the support member and attaching the strip, as well as any polyurethane band 35 bonded thereto, to the end of support member 20 by bolts 36, welds or otherwise. Slight gaps preferably are left between the strips to allow them to expand slightly due to the pressure of the pipe against them and to receive dirt build-up carried by the pipe.
  • the pipe-contacting surfaces of the portions of the strips 34 having no bands 35 bonded thereto conjunctively form the transversely concave and longitudinally convex first bearing surface 31.
  • the semi-circular concave shape of the first bearing surface 31 at any plane therethrough perpendicular to the longitudinal axis preferably has a radius equal to the desired outside radius of the pipe. It is important to note the manner in which this first bearing surface is constructed is not limited. Indeed, it could be constructed of a plurality of hard metallic strips welded to the support member, or a solid, hard metallic plate secured to the support member, or even be formed by the support member itself. It is preferable to utilize strips as illustrated in order that any defective strip may be easily and quickly replaced.
  • the portions of the strips 34 having no bands 35 bonded thereto and forming the first bearing surface 31 extend outwardly from the apex line of the concave arc of support member to preselected points along the concave arc. From these preselected points outward along the concave arc of the die, the strips 34 have the compressible bands 35 bonded thereto.
  • the combined strips 34 and bands 35 comprising the second bearing surface 32 preferably are slightly thicker than the strips 34 without the bands 35 comprising the first bearing surface 31.
  • the material chosen for the compressible band 35 such as polyurethane solid elastomer, has a preselected degree of compressibility such that when the bands 35 are fully compressed by the pipe their pipe-contacting surfaces function conjunctively with the pipe-contacting surfaces of the uncovered strips 34 comprising the first bearing surface 31 to provide a firm, continuous, semi-circular bearing surface, having a radius equal to the desired outside radius of the pipe.
  • the construction of the second bearing surface is not limited to the mode illustrated in this embodiment of the invention. Indeed, the compressible bands of material could be bonded directly to support member 20, or solid sheets of such compressible, low coefficient of friction, material could be utilized in place of strips. However, it is preferable to utilize bands of the compressible material bonded to metallic backings and the combined strips secured to the support member in order that a defective strip may be replaced easily and quickly.
  • FIG. 4 for clarity in illustrating the invention, only certain of the strips forming the first and second bearing surfaces are shown to overlap the end of support member 20, In FIG. 5 none of the strips is shown to overlap. However, it is understood that each of the strips in both FIGS. 4 and 5 is bolted to the end of the support member. In FIG. 3, only certain of the strips forming the first and second bearing surfaces are illustrated. However, it is understood that the entire inward facing surface of support member 20 is covered with such strips,
  • transition points For any transverse plane through the die along the portion of its length in which bending occurs (between planes 29 and 28), the points along each side of the transverse concave are where the sliding movement of the pipe becomes negligible, and thus no damage is done to the pipe due to the bulging force against the bearing surface and coefficient of friction of the materials, are referred to as the transition points.
  • the transition line is the line comprised of the assemblage of all transition points in all transverse planes through the bending portion of the die.
  • the second bearing surface should extend upwardly and inwardly toward the apex of the die at all points along the bending portion of the die at least as far as the transition line.
  • the transition line may of course vary from one die to another depending on, among other factors, the shape of the die and the portion of the die against which the pipe will be bent.
  • the second bearing surface may project upwardly and inwardly toward the apex line past the transition line at certin points so long as the first bearing surface covers at least the portion of the die against which the main bending forces are applied.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates with dotted line 38 a representative transition line along one side of the die
  • the portion of the die from the apex line outwardly along the concave arc in both directions to the transition line 38 constitutes the first bearing surface 31 and provides the main external support for the pipe in the direction of the bend.
  • the rest of the die from the transition line 38 outwardly constitutes the second bearing surface 32.
  • the entire portion of the die (between planes 29 and 30) which does not support the pipe externally during bending preferably is constructed similarly to the described second bearing surface 32 in order to protect the exterior of the pipe against damage during movement into and out of position.
  • the strip 34 illustrated along the apex of the die has a compressible band 35 bonded thereto between planes 29 and 30.
  • FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 illustrate an alternate construction of the first and second bearing surfaces 31 and 32, respectively, according to this invention.
  • a plurality of strips secured longitudinally along the inward surface 24 of the support member 20 are utilized to form the first and second bearing surfaces.
  • Each strip, whether in the first or second bearing surface is comprised of an underlying ribbon 44 of hard material, such as brass or steel, which traverses the entire longitudinal length of the die.
  • This underlying ribbon 44 is typically one-eighth inch thick. Bonded to these underlying ribbons 44 throughout the area comprising the second bearing surface 32 are bands 48 of compressible material having a low coefficient of friction, such as the previously described polyurethane solid elastomer.
  • the compressible band 48 would be employed from the end of the die (vertical plane 30) which is not in contact with the pipe during bending to the portion of the die (vertical plane 29) which first contacts the pipe during bending.
  • the compressible bands 48 are also typically one-eighth inch thick.
  • second metallic ribbons 50 Secured to the underlying ribbons 44 throughout the area comprising the first bearing surface 31 are second metallic ribbons 50 of hardmaterial, such as brass or steel.
  • the thickness of each of these second metallic ribbons 50 typically is three thirty-seconds inch so the combined thicknesses of the underlying ribbons 44 and the second ribbons 50 are slightly less than the combined thicknesses of the underlying ribbons 44 and the compressible bands 48 comprising the second bearing surface 32.
  • each insert 52 is secured, such as by bonding, in a cavity 54 formed in the second metallic ribbon.
  • Each insert 52 protrudes from the surface of the second ribbons 50 a distance typically one thirty-second inch so the combined thickness of the materials comprising the first bearing surface is approximately equal to the combined thickness of the materials comprising the second bear ing surface.
  • the second ribbons 50 preferably are secured to the underlying ribbons 44 by bolts 58 countersunk in the bottom of the cavities 54 and in the underlying ribbons 44.
  • Each insert when fully compressed, has its inward facingsurface flush with the inward facing surface of the second metallic ribbon 50 in which it is secured. The entire strips are secured to support member 20 by bolts 36, welds or otherwise.
  • first bearing surface with inserts therein is not limited to that described in the alternate embodiment of the invention. Indeed, rather than the unyielding portion of the first bearing surface comprising an underlying-metallicribbon and a second metallic ribbon, the unyielding portion could comprise simply a strip of hard material as described in the previous embodiment having cavities therein to receive the inserts. i
  • the bending operation utilizing the alternate first bearing surface is as previously described. However, as the pipe is brought into contact with the first bearing surface, the pipe first engages the compressible inserts 52. if the pipe should slide or move a small amount as it is engaging the first bearing surface, these inserts protect it against scratching another damage. As the strongback l4 bends the pipe against the die, the inserts compress until they are flush with the metallic surface of the first bearing surface so that there is presented to the pipe a bearing surface which is substantially unyielding to the pressures imposed thereon by the pipe.
  • the present invention provides an improved bending die for the bending of large diameter pipes wherein the pipe is adequately supported during bending so that it does not become out of round and wherein the outer protective coating of the pipe is not damaged during bending.

  • said preselected transition line being comprised of the various transverse points longitudinally along the die where the pipe ceases to slide appreciably against the bearing surfaces during bending;
  • said first and second bearing surfaces are each comprised of a plurality of strips positioned on and removably secured to the inwardly facing surface of said support member.
  • said first bearing surface includes slightly protruding surfaceareas which present a low coefficient of friction to the pipe and which are resiliently yieldable to a preselected degree to the pressures imposed thereon whereby when fully compressed by said pipe during bending they become flush with the rest of said first bearing surface.
  • a pipe bending machine having an improved bending die which has a support member with a transversely concave and longitudinally convex'inwardly facing surface, and having means for bending a pipe longitudinally around said die with the direction of bend being toward the apex of the support member and having means for supporting the pipe internally during bending, wherein the improved bending die comprises:
