Abstract
Description
図3は、成形装置の概略構成図である。図3に示されるように、金属パイプを成形する成形装置10は、互いに対となる上型(型)12及び下型(型)11を有する成形金型(成形部)13と、上型12及び下型11の少なくとも一方を移動させる駆動機構80と、上型12と下型11との間に配置される金属パイプ材料14を保持するパイプ保持機構30と、パイプ保持機構30で保持されている金属パイプ材料14に通電して加熱する加熱機構50と、上型12及び下型11の間に保持され加熱された金属パイプ材料14内にガス(気体)を供給するための気体供給ユニット60と、パイプ保持機構30で保持された金属パイプ材料14の内部に気体供給ユニット60からの気体を供給するための一対の気体供給部40,40と、成形金型13を強制的に水冷する水循環機構72とを備えると共に、上記駆動機構80の駆動、上記パイプ保持機構30の駆動、上記加熱機構50の駆動、及び上記気体供給ユニット60の気体供給をそれぞれ制御する制御部70と、を備える。なお以下では、金属パイプは、成形装置10にて成形完了後の中空物品を指し、金属パイプ材料14は、成形装置10にて成形完了前の中空物品を指す。
次に、成形装置10を用いた金属パイプ1の成形方法の一例について、図6(a)~(c)を参照しながら説明する。まず、図6(a)に示されるように、加熱されると共に中空形状を呈する金属パイプ材料14を、上型12及び下型11の間に配置する。具体的には、上型12のキャビティ24と下型11のキャビティ16との間に、金属パイプ材料14を配置する。この金属パイプ材料14は、パイプ保持機構30の上側電極17,18及び下側電極17,18によって挟持されている。また、金属パイプ材料14は、制御部70による加熱機構50の制御によって、通電加熱されている。具体的には、制御部70による加熱機構50の制御によって金属パイプ材料14に電力を供給する。すると、電力供給ライン52を介して下側電極17,18に伝達される電力が、金属パイプ材料14を挟持している上側電極17,18及び金属パイプ材料14に供給される。そして、金属パイプ材料14自身の電気抵抗により、金属パイプ材料14自体がジュール熱によって発熱する。
以上に説明した本実施形態に係る成形方法によって成形される金属パイプ1によれば、フランジ部102が有する一対の内面102a,102bの間には、パイプ部100の内部空間S1に連通する隙間S2が位置している。また、フランジ部102に設けられる貫通孔110は、隙間S2につながっている。これにより、例えば金属パイプ1を塗装する場合にパイプ部100の内部空間S1に水等の液体が浸入した場合であっても、隙間S2及び貫通孔110を介して当該液体を容易に排出できる。これにより、金属パイプ1の内部に液体が溜まりにくくなるので、金属パイプ1の錆の発生を抑制できる。加えて、例えば金属パイプ1を塗液内に浸漬させるとき、貫通孔110が空気の逃げ穴となる。これにより、良好にパイプ部100の内周面100a等を塗装できる。さらには、内周面100a等における上記塗液の溜まりの発生も抑制できる。
以下では、上記実施形態の変形例に係る金属パイプについて説明する。当該変形例の説明において上記実施形態と重複する記載は省略し、上記実施形態と異なる部分を記載する。
