Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A tube rolling mill having two sets of three rolls each which are reciprocatingly driven along a length of a tube supported by a mandrel. Each roll is against the tube by individual cams that each hav surface of one or more tapers to provide controlled reduction in wall thickness of the tube. 1f the man is tapered, a reduction of inside tube diameter complished.
  • Various shapes in which at least a of the outside wall of the tube is flat are totally flat-sided-outer-wall tubing m .1 a mn 0 3 rw m a u e m m 3 .1
  • This invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for reducing and elongating metal tubing and more particularly to a method and apparatus for producing externally configurated tubing by a tube reducing process employing cold rolling.
  • Metal tubing is used in a wide variety of environments and for many different applications. This requires that tubing be available with a wide variety of inside and outside diameters and wall thicknesses. Furthermore, certain applications require that the tube be provided with outer walls of different configurations from the more standard cylindrical tubing. In order to effectively utilize the economies of mass production, metal tubing is initially cylindrical in shape and manufactured in only a few standard sizes. This makes it necessary to modify tubing of a standard manufactured size to obtain a finished tube having an overall size and an external configuration that is needed for a certain application requiring less tubing than can be economically manufactured directly.
  • a technique according to this invention in which a plurality of rolls are reciprocated back and forth along the length of a standard size manufactured tubing.
  • Each of the rolls have tube contacting surfaces of various configurations for shaping the tubing.
  • the plurality of rolls is held by a common rollhousing which is reciprocated against the tube which causes metal of the manufactured tubing to flow into a desired new configuration as the tube s wall thickness and/or inside diameter is being reduced.
  • the plurality of rolls are positioned so that their tube contacting surfaces surround the tube being reduced and work all portions of the tube-outside surface, leaving no clearance between the contacting surfaces of the adjoining rolls. Neither the tube nor mandrel is rotated during the reduction and shaping process.
  • three rolls are utilized in a cluster about the tube with their axes of rotation located in a plane substantially perpendicular to the tube and displaced from each other.
  • Each roll is rotatably attached to a roll housing.
  • the roll is urged against the tube by a pair of cam tracks on which roll trunnions ride.
  • means are provided to insure that the rolls contact the cams at all times.
  • the tubing is shaped in conjunction with either wall thickness reduction or inside diameter reduction, or both, to obtain and externally configurated tube that is dimensioned exactly as required for a particular application.
  • Tubing is shaped on its external surfacesaccording to the techniques of the present invention by the use of rolls which each have one or more flat tube contacting surfaces. Assuming that clusters of three rolls are used if the tube contacting surface of each roll is flat throughout from one side of the roll to the other a tube of triangular configuration will be produced. If each of the tube contacting surfaces of the rolls is formed by two intersecting flat surfaces, then tubing having a hexagonal configuration is produced. If each of the rolls has a tube contacting surface which is formed by three sides, a tube will be produced with an external nonagonal configuration.
  • the tube is preferably supported by a mandrel inside thereof.
  • the mandrel may have a substantially uniform cross-section along a length in which the tube is worked, thus resulting in a general wall thickness reduction.
  • the mandrel may have a significant taper for reducing the inside diameter of a tube simultaneously with the shaping of the external surface.
  • Shaped tubing may be produced by the techniques of the present invention with a wide variety of metals including those considered generally hard to work such as stainless steel, AISI types 304 and 316.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified partially exploded view showing essential elements of a rolling mill in which the present invention is utilized although the rolls as shown are used to produce tubing having a cylindrical external surface.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken through the first stage (set) of rolls at 2-2;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken through the second stage (set) of rolls 3-3;
  • FIG. 4 schematically illustrates the operation of the primary operating components of the rolling mill illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3;
  • FIG. 5 is for background purposes and shows the shape of a tube contacting groove of a roll for use in producing cylindrical tubing in the rolling mill shown in FIGS. l-3;
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the use of rolls of the subject invention having two flat sides to produce hexagonal tubing as shown
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the use of rolls in which each roll is flat throughout its tube contacting surface to produce tubing of triangular configuration
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the forming of nonagonal tubing by the use of rolls each having three flat tube contacting surfaces
  • FIG. 9 shows the operation of a cluster of four rolls operating against a tube according to yet another aspect of the present invention.
  • 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 flywheel 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 engages a rack 27 that isrigidly 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 nonrotatable 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 connection rod 31 (shown herein as two sections since the roll housing 23 is shown removed from the cam housing 11).
  • the cam housing 11 hasa 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 and shaped according to the present invention is inserted through an opening 35 of the roll housing 23, and is carried by a mandrel 37.
  • the mandrel 37 may be secured 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 linearly advancing (feeding) it over a working length of the mandrel 37.

  • the axes of rotation of the two sets of rolls are angularly displaced from each other by 60. It should be noted that the rolls shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are designed to produce tubing with a cylindrical external surface.
  • each roll is free to move in a direction normal to the mandrel.
  • Each roll is resiliently urged by a set of springs (such as springs 49 and 50, each held within a roll guide) out of the roll housing 23 and against its associated cam surfaces.
  • the rolls may be hydraulically urged against their associated cams.
  • 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 number referring to the other of the cam tracks.

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 cams 45* and 45. NOtice that the cams 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.
