  • ABSTRACT Zinn & Macpeak
  • This invention relates to a method of manufacturing expanded structural members from metal strip through a roll forming process, a slitting process, a horizontally expanding process with small rollers by rolling, a V-shape expanding process, a recovering process, a levelling process, a reshaping process and- /or reinforcing process. All the processes comprising only rotary motion with cold working.
  • the lattice part of the member is elongated and slackened by rolling with small rollers, at the same time, the part is naturally expanded horizontally.
  • the strip sheet or shape is guided by the edges of the respective V-shape rollers without using guide bars, while the lattice part is expanded between the respective rollers.
  • the lattice part is, in turn, rolled by the respective V-shape rollers and expanded by gradually being bent into a V-shape by the V-shape rollers, and in the final reinforcing process, the lattice part is reinforced by dottedly convex rollers meshing with each other in bead form.
  • FIG. 25A is a diagrammatic representation of FIG. 25A
  • This invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing expanded structural members and its products, and more particularly to an expanded structural member having superior dynamic characteristics and capable of various shapes and utility, while produced from metal strip or shape by continuous and high speed cold roll-working.
  • the lattice part was gradually expanded by the guide bars while the part was constantly rolled.
  • any kind of strip steel has an irregularity of thickness and hardness in one coil.
  • the lattice was excessively expanded, in this case, and slackness occured in the product.
  • the lattice was not sufficiently expanded, and in this case, a crack occured at the root of the lattice.
  • any variation of the thickness of the commercial metal strip was absorbed in the variation of the slackness of the lattice, so that the shape of the lattice became S-shaped in the thicker portion than the mean thickness of the metal strip, on the other hand, in the thin portion, the lattice shape became straight.
  • this method it was possible to manufacture expanded structural members commercially with cold roll-working without producing a crack at a root of a lattice element and the original bend of the lattice element.
  • the lattice elements may be formed at an angle of approximately 30 from the side lines of both flanges, but if SS41(J IS) having poorer ductibility and higher tensile strength than that is used as the material, the angle becomes more or less 22, and if the angle is increased more than that, a crack occurs at the root of the lattice part or the lattice will be broken. As the result of this, the product has bad dynamic characteristics and has an improper shape for a structural member.
  • the respective expanding rollers also feed the material. But, in the second method using guide bars, the respective expanding rollers must provide the material with an excessive feeding force in order to overcome any resistance which is produced by the friction of the material and the guide bars. This is one factor for causing the crack at the root of the lattice element.
  • I then executed a production test by producing hat type expanded structural members in order to solve the first problem of the aforesaid four problems of the second method.
  • both sides of the hat shape rollers were so designed as to adapt the guide of the flange portion of the channel instead of the guide bars, and each hat shape roller might feed the channel in the state that two lines formed by both corners of the bend portion in both flanges are always held in parallel, at the same time, the lattice part was pressed to be bent in hat shape (J1) so as to advance to roll, which was the third manufacturing method (Japanese Pat. No. 448,796). As a result, even if the production speed was increased to approximately 50m/min., seizure did not occur. The first problem was'solved by applying this method tothe other shape of expanded member.
  • This invention is to provide expanded structural members which are adapted for broad usage and have sufficient function in strength, quality and shape, by solving other problems and disadvantages and incompleteness of the aforesaid second method.
  • the shearing strength of the lattice part should balance with the bending rigidity, and, in its quality, it is required to have at least 4lkg/mm or more of tensile strength in Japan, and to perform this purpose the lattice should be formed at an angle of at least preferably or more, from the side lines of both flanges.
  • a product whose thickness is relatively thick as compared with the size of it may sufficiently satisfy the aforementioned conditions, but in the case of the product where the thickness is relatively thin, buckling occurs at the lattice part even if it has a lattice angle of 30 or more and the material is over 4lkg/mm of tensile strength.
  • the member is insufficient as a structural member. Therefore, the lattice part of. the product whose thickness is thin must be reinforced by some manner in order to increase the shearing strength thereof.
  • This invention has succeeded in reinforcing the lattice part by deforming the lattice element into a bead shape without sacrificing productivity. As the result of this, the moment ofinertia, shearing strength and maximum breaking load of the lattice part are increased. On the other hand, after detailed investigation of the generation of a crack produced at the root of the lattice part in the old manufacturing process, I found that an initial small crack will occur immediately after the slitting of the lattice part of the material and this crack will increase gradually in a V-shape expanding process.
  • the present invention has succeeded in preventing the occurrence of the initial crack and the growth of such a crack.
  • the present invention has a unit comprising a group of small pair rollers whereby the lattice part is gradually and naturally expanded so as not to generate a crack at the root of each lattice element.
  • the reason why the unit can provide the lattice element with the above described effect is that the lattice element is made to constantly slacken between the respective small rollers of the unit so as to always generate the compression force in the longitudinal direction thereto by the action of the unit and also, at the same time, the aforesaid effect of the Rolling Lateral Bending Phenomenon works effectively on the lattice element by rolling the element slightly with the small pair of rollers.
  • the unit is disposed just behind the slitting rollers.
  • the Rolling Lateral Bending Phenomenon works particularly effectively on material of SS41.
  • the present invention may form the lattice angle of at least 25 or more without producing cracks at the root of the lattice element with even SS4] steel having high hardness and less ductibility.
  • the present invention is capable of producing expanded structural members having supe- 1 rior dynamic characteristics in cold roll-working.
  • this invention utilizes a slitting device in which the rotating speed of the top slitting roller is continuously and positively changeable with respect to the rotating speed of the bottom slitter roller which almost follows the feeding speed of the material.
  • the length of slits may be adjustable, so that the lattice pitch may be varied optionally. It is, therefore, possible to manufacture an expanded structural member having an even lattice pitch in any length. Furthermore, it is also possible to cut the product having the even lattice pitch in any length by the combination of the aforesaid lattice cutting means, the cutting dies, the pitch counter device interlocked thereto, the clutch mounted to the slitting device, the rack device, etc.
  • the present invention not only provides a manufacturing method having high productivity and excellent stability of exapanded structural members, but also produces expanded structural members having various shapes such as channel type, C type, hat type, 2 type, Z type, H type, etc., and having superior dynamic characteristics.
  • the present invention has a horizontal expanding small rollers unit disposed just behind the slitting rollers which can provide effectively the lattice element with the Rolling Lateral Bending Phenomenon.
  • reinforcing rollers meshed with dottedly convexities are formed on the surface thereof, and are disposed behind the reshaping rollers as the final process of this invention.
