Definitions
- the present invention relates to cold forming assemblies providing production of a multi-wall tube, particularly double-layered tube by means of bending metal sheet profile along a line.
- the bending stations positioned successively in a spaced apart manner, provide a roll form to the metal sheet in a stepped manner.
- each bending station there are two cylindrical rollers, having a spaced apart section formed in between and extending in the horizontal axis one above the other, and there are rotating rollers extending in the vertical axis in the following section.
- the distance between the axes of the rollers and the cylinders is adjusted such that the coated metal sheet, advancing in the horizontal direction in each bending station, is bent in a stepped manner and takes the form of a tube.
- the compression force is realized in two mutual directions with the help of arms named as studs by means of the vertical upper roller and the vertical lower roller.
- the pressure, provided through the stud arms may not be equal to each other.
- the object of the present invention is to provide equal distribution of the stress applied to the metal sheet during cold shaping in multi-wall metal tube production.
- the present invention is a multi-wall metal sheet roll forming assembly comprising an upper roller where a metal sheet strip is fed in a lengthwise manner and having a rotation axis adjusted in a parallel manner to the extension axis of the metal sheet strip, and an adjacent lower roller where a processing surface, which bends the metal sheet strip during rotation, is provided between said lower roller and said upper roller.
- the metal sheet roll forming assembly comprises a bearing element which holds the upper roller in a manner allowing rotation from the two mutual rotation ends, and a drive mechanism adapted to the bearing element in a manner exerting equal compression force through the mutual rotation ends towards the lower roller.
- the equal pressure provides the metal sheet strip, which advances between the upper roller and the lower roller, to be continuously subjected to equal stresses during the cold shaping process.
- the stresses, provided on the cross section of the multi-layered tube which is the product of the metal sheet roll forming assembly are equally distributed along the length, and a product, which is compliant to the predetermined standards in accordance with the application areas, is obtained.
- a guiding housing wherein the bearing element is placed in a manner allowing movement of the bearing element in a guiding direction where the bearing element is pressed against the lower roller.
- the bearing element moves inside the guiding housing and carries the upper roller towards the lower roller.
- the bearing element is forced to move within a predetermined route, and the bearing element is facilitated to be configured in a manner providing exertion of equal force after various usages.
- the guiding direction of the guiding housing is configured in a manner following a linear path between the upper roller and the lower roller. The linear movement allows operation by means of the drive assembly pushing the bearing with a simple stroke.
- a casing is provided where the guiding housing is provided on the mutual side walls of the casing and where the drive assembly is aligned at the upper section of the upper roller on a ceiling section which joins the side walls.
- the casing carries the upper and lower roller by means of a compact structure.
- the drive assembly comprises a shaft extending in the guiding direction. The shaft transfers the force, provided by the drive assembly, to the bearing element in a linear manner.
- a motor whereto the shaft is mounted in a rotating manner from one end, and the bearing element comprises a screw housing which corresponds to a threaded free end of the shaft.
- the threaded end rotates inside the screw housing, and it provides advancing of the bearing element.
- the first arm and the second arm have mirror- symmetry with respect to the position of the drive assembly on the bearing element.
- the mirror symmetry helps the arms to provide equal load distribution.
- the drive assembly is aligned coaxially with the processing surface on the bearing element.
- the upper roller can directly transfer compression force on the lower roller at the section where process is realized.
- the effect of the vibration, formed on the upper and lower roller by the counter forces caused by the metal sheet strip on the processing surface is minimized.
- an indicator is provided which is configured in a manner illustrating the compression force, exerted by means of the drive assembly, in a visually accessible manner.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is a tube production method by means of a multi-wall metal sheet roll forming assembly comprising the process steps of pushing the upper roller towards the lower roller by the bearing element by means of the drive assembly in a manner shifting a predetermined compression force which is equally distributed at both rotation ends; and feeding the metal sheet strip by means of aligning the metal sheet strip in a manner contacting the processing surface along an edge of the processing surface between the upper roller and the lower roller.
- the metal sheet which passes through the sheet shaping unit, is brought into tube form by means of bending, and the pressure of the upper roller onto the lower roller is distributed to the lower roller equally from a single point by means of the drive assembly instead of two arms.
- the measurability of the pressure exerted by the upper roller onto the lower roller and stability of said pressure along the line increase product quality.
