Definitions

  • ABSTRACT For providing an improved deformability of wire blanks (such as chain link blanks) during noncutting shaping, there is performed a bevelling step on the wire blank simultaneously from two opposite sides in the same blank zone, while leaving unaffected a flat cross-sectional portion adjacent the blank axis. This bevelling step is subsequently repeated at least once in the same zone in a direction set off not more than 90 with respect to the bevelling direction of the first bevelling step.
  • This invention relates to apparatus for bevelling continuously fed wire blanks, particularly chain link blanks.
  • each bevelled blank end has two bevelled surfaces arranged symmetrically to one another in a V-shape. These surfaces form identical angles with the axis of the blank and converge in a crest that intersects the blank axis.
  • an apparatus for performing this method Such apparatus, as disclosed, for example, in -U.S. Pat. No. 1,994,794, comprises two cooperating V-shaped cutters which are advanced simultaneously and from opposite directions towards the blank.
  • bevelling the blank ends in the above manner is to ensure that during the welding together of the blank ends bent into a C-shape to form a chain link, the fusion proceeds from the adjoining, lengthwise contacting, cutter-shaped crests in an outward direction.
  • impurities which may be formed by scaling, oxidation or the like during the welding process, are displaced outwardly into the weld during the welding operation and particularly during forging. Subsequently, the impurities are ground or filed away with the weld burr.
  • a bevelling is first ef fected in a known manner simultaneously from two opposite sides in the same zone of the blank substantially perpendicularly to the blank axis, while maintaining unaffected a flat cross-sectional portion adjacent the blank axis, and subsequently, substantially in the plane of the same cross section, the same bevelling process is repeated at least once, in a direction shifted not more than in the circumferential direction of the blank with respect to the direction of the preceding bevelling step.
  • the invention is based on the discovery that when working with the earlier discussed know apparatus which has two bevelling tools advanced from opposite directions perpendicularly to the blank axis, the material flows at the locus of working in a particular manner, as explained later in the specification.
  • FIG. I is a side elevational view of a wire blank, such as a chain blank, taken in the direction of advance of one of the bevelling tools and showing the locus of working.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line Il-II of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the blank shown in FIG. 1, with both bevelling tools visible.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective schematic view of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic side elevational view of another preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic side elevational view of still another preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 there are shown bevelling tools 10 which, as they are advanced towards the longitudinal axis of the blank 11 through positions a-bc-d-e, cause material particles of the planes f, g, h, i, j, k of the blank 11 to be compressed in succession.
  • bevelling tools 10 which, as they are advanced towards the longitudinal axis of the blank 11 through positions a-bc-d-e, cause material particles of the planes f, g, h, i, j, k of the blank 11 to be compressed in succession.
  • the volume constant and the reaction of the volume elements of the planes f-k With respect to one another, the material flows in the axial direction from the middle of the blank cross section.
  • the cross sections l-m-n-o-p tend to move away from one another.
  • the invention utilizes this phenomenon by providing a second bevelling step during which the be velling tools engage the blank in the zones of these constrictions.
  • the bevelling tools As the bevelling tools are advanced in the course of this second bevelling step, they first eliminate the tensional stress present and subsequently generate a compression stress with axial displacement of material. In this manner there are achieved an additional flow-readiness of the material and an expansion of the bevelling process for a greater cross section and/or a greater strength.
  • the process according to the invention is particularly adapated for the bevelling of wire blanks made of high carboncontaining and high-alloyed materials which, because of their hardness and brittleness, make noncutting metal shaping particularly difficult.
  • the process according to the invention may undergo several modifications.
  • the method according to the inven tion may be so modified that instead of providing two knife pairs which in succession work on the stationary blank at the same location, the knife pairs are arranged spaced from one another along the length of the blank and operate simultaneously. It is true that in this manner the structural length of the apparatus is increased but at the same time the operating time is substantially decreased and also, the structure of the apparatus is simplified.
  • Such a device for performing the method according to the invention is illustrated schematically in FIG. 4 and will now be described in detail.
  • the blank 11 is advanced intermittently in the direction of arrow I3.
  • the first bevelling step is performed thereon by the first bevelling tools 10
  • the second bevelling step is performed thereon by the second bevelling tools spaced from the first bevelling tools 10 along the blank axis at a distance 14 which corresponds to the length of one blank.
  • the tool pair 10' which works in the cross-sectional plane 16 perpendic ularly to the blank axis [5 is set off by 90 with respect to the tool pair 10. Since each tool, as shown in FIG.
  • a leading edge face 17 and two lateral faces 18 arranged symmetrically to one another in a V-shape there is eventually obtained a bevel 19 having a quadratic frustopyramidal surface 20, four frustoconical surfaces 21 and a circular base surface 22. Since the bevelling operation according to the invention may be effected in such a manner that the leading blank ll snaps off as a result of the second bevelling step, the frustopyramidal surface is not always completely smooth, but has an uneven character and may even have a slightly prismatic form. Such a phenomenon is not necessarily disadvantageous for initiating the fusion process from the inside outwardly. Nevertheless, it is possible without difficulty to design the edge face 17 at each tool to be more or less wide or to so design the cutting tool that the lateral faces 18 converge into a cutting edge.
  • FIG. 5 there is shown a particular design ofthe tools according to the invention, concerning in particular the support of the bevelling tools.
  • Each bevelling tool 10" is supported in a tool carrier 23 which forms part of a tool holder 24 and which is pivotal about an axis 25 in the direction of the arrow 26.
  • the advance of the tool holder 24 is effected exclusively in the direction of the arrow 27 while the blank 11' is held stationary.
  • the displacement of the material in the blank occurs, during the noncutting shaping, advantageously in the direction of the arrow 28 in which the blank 11" should have a freedom of motion. In this manner it is possible to avoid radial material shifts.
  • the resetting ofthe bevelling tools 10" is effected by a reset spring 29 so that in the withdrawn position of the tool support 24 the bevelling tools 10" abut a stop face 30 forming part of the work tool holder 24.
  • FIG. 6 Another embodiment of the invention is schematically illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the bevelling tools 10" can be advanced exclusively in the direction of the arrow 27.
  • the bevelling tools 10 have a lateral surface 18' which extends perpendicularly to the blank axis and a lateral face 18" which forms an angle with the surface 18'.
  • the material of the blank flows exclusively in the direction of the arrow 27 and radial material shifts in the direction of arrow 28 are avoided if the blank 11 is held stationary and a freedom of motion is ensured for the blank 11".
  • An apparatus for bevelling a wire blank simultaneously at diametrically opposite sides from successively different directions comprising at least two pairs of bevelling tools; the bevelling tools of each pair being arranged to move simultaneously and in opposite directions to one another into engagement with said wire blank; the direction of advance of each tool towards said blank being normal to the longitudinal axis of the blank; cutting faces provided on each tool, said cutting faces being arranged symmetrically with respect to any cross-sectional plane of said blank; a separate tool holder associated with each bevelling tool for carrying the same, each tool holder being movable towards and away from said axis in a direction normal thereto; means for pivotally securing each bevelling tool to its associated holder for a pivotal motion of the bevelling tool about an axis that is normal to and spaced from the axis of said blank; an abutment provided on each tool holder and cooperating with the tool to determine therefor a position of rest; and spring means engaging each tool holder and the associated tool for urging the tool against said
