Definitions
- a tensioning and holding device for slotted tubes of relatively short length is known (DE 44 32 674 Cl), in which the slotted tube is held by belts partially wrapping around it in a suitable welding position for a welding device which can be moved along the joining gap.
- a tensioning and holding device for slotted tubes of relatively short length is known (DE 44 32 674 Cl)
- the slotted tube is held by belts partially wrapping around it in a suitable welding position for a welding device which can be moved along the joining gap.
- the sheet metal blank is formed in one and the same device to form the slotted tube and is held in the welding position by the means forming the tube with the longitudinal edges to be welded.
- the sheet metal blank which is formed into a slotted tube, is held in this position. Then to weld the longitudinal edges together, the upper ends of the mold halves can be opened so that the Joining gap is released.
- a major disadvantage of such a device is that there is a risk that the sheet metal blank will buckle due to a lack of internal and external guidance. This risk is particularly great with thin-walled sheet metal blanks.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus that allow to produce longitudinally welded tubes from sheet metal blanks, especially those with thin walls.
- the method and the device for Processing of sheet metal blanks of various thicknesses, for example tailored blanks may be suitable.
- the invention is thus based on a method for producing a longitudinally welded tube from a flat sheet metal blank with parallel longitudinal edges, in which the sheet metal blank is formed into a slotted tube with the aid of two mutually displaceable, mirror-symmetrically arranged, outer cylindrical half-shells, and then the longitudinal edges are welded to one another in the apex of the molding tool, wherein they are held in position by the molding tool.
- the sheet metal blank is supported on the inside during molding by inner cylindrical mandrel halves which form mold gaps with the outer half-shells, the longitudinal edges emerging in the apex being kept free for welding.
- the invention further relates to a device for producing longitudinally welded tubes from flat sheet metal blanks with parallel longitudinal edges with two mold halves carried by a tool carrier, mutually displaceable, arranged in mirror image to one another and having outer cylindrical half-shells, which can be moved from an open receiving position for the sheet metal blank into a closed position are, in which the longitudinal edges to be welded together are held together by the closed mold halves at their upper apex, and with a welding device which can be moved over the mold along the longitudinal edges held in the welding position.
- the invention is characterized in that the mold halves have fixedly assigned cylindrical mandrel halves which, with the outer half shells, form mold gaps for the sheet metal blank to be inserted, the mold gaps in the closed position of the mold halves for the longitudinal edges emerging from the mold gaps keep the welding free.
- sheet metal blanks of different thicknesses can be formed into a cylindrical tube without the risk that the blank will buckle during the shaping process.
- tubes of short length can be economically produced in medium quantities from sheet metal blanks. Pipes with a constant wall thickness as well as pipes with a different wall thickness over their length or circumference can be produced.
- the particular advantage of the invention is that the mold halves themselves hold the shaped slit tube with the joint gap in an optimal welding position in order to produce the weld seam with the welding device which can be moved along the joint gap. So there are no longer two separate devices required for forming and holding the slotted tube in the welding position. This also eliminates the labor-intensive reloading of the slotted tube with the alignment and tensioning that is then required.
- the sheet metal blank is first completely inserted into one of the shaped slots and then with its half the other half is inserted into the other slot.
- One of the two mold halves in particular the movable one, can have an abutment near the entrance of the mold gap, on which a longitudinal edge of the sheet metal blank can be supported when the mold halves move together. This gives the sheet metal blank good guidance, which prevents the sheet metal blank from skewing when it is inserted into the mold gap.
- the sheet metal blank can be reshaped in the narrow strips adjoining the longitudinal edges as it emerges or after it emerges from the mold gaps in such a way that they merge into one another essentially tangentially. In terms of the device, this can be achieved in two ways. Either a tool acting on the longitudinal edges in the sense of their merging is assigned to the upper apex region of the mold halves, or the mold gaps run out to the upper apex in a common plane.
- the desired spatial fixation of the inner mandrel halves in the outer half-shells with the possibility of being able to remove the shaped tube can be achieved according to a further embodiment of the invention in that the outer half-shells and the inner mandrel halves of each mold half are connected to one another at one end and the inner mandrel half is detachably fixed with its other end directly on the tool carrier, while the inner mandrel halves are otherwise held in position by a plurality of support members which reach through the outer half-shell through recesses and via a sliding coupling can be uncoupled on the inner mandrel half in the direction of the apex of the outer half shell.
- this configuration there is a rigid assignment of the half-shell and the inner mandrel half even on partial areas of the length of the inner mandrel half.
- This configuration can be realized constructively in that the outer half-shell and the inner mandrel half connected to it at one end lie against one another in this connecting section without gaps and are held together by releasable tensioning elements.
- the releasable clamping elements allow the mold gap to be opened somewhat in order to pull the finished tube out of the molding tool or even to pull the inner mandrel halves out of the finished tube.
- one embodiment provides that the inner mandrel half protrudes from the outer end at the connected end and the projecting piece a pressure element is assigned, with which a pivoting moment about a horizontal transverse axis can be applied to the inner mandrel half in order to relieve the front end of the inner mandrel half.
- a height-adjustable support structure for the in the immediately below and in the receiving position between the mold halves Form gap to be introduced sheet metal blank is provided.
- This support structure preferably has at the entrance of each mold gap a guide plate which extends over the entire length of the mold gap and is resiliently supported in the direction of travel of the mold halves.
- one of the two mold halves in particular the stationary one, is assigned a retractable stop for the longitudinal edge of the sheet metal blank formed in this mold half in the upper apex.
- This stop then also serves as a support when inserting the sheet metal blank into the mold gap of the other mold half.
- the stop preferably has an asymmetrically designed tip such that when the other longitudinal edge strikes this stop, the latter retreats with the release of one longitudinal edge, both longitudinal edges meet and thus form a butt joint.
- a collecting pan to be arranged in the region of the upper apex of the inner mandrel halves.
- a collecting tray can be cleaned or replaced after each use of the welding device.
- the collecting tray is preferably arranged in a stationary manner and extends over the entire length of the mold halves.
- it can further be provided that it is connected tightly to the inner mandrel halves and forms a channel with the free longitudinal edge regions of the tube.
- Such a channel is suitable for inert gas flushing or extraction of the fumes generated during welding.
- the drip tray itself expediently consists of flexible material and has a V-shaped cross section. This configuration is particularly well suited because it can be easily connected to the inner mandrel halves and does not hinder the moving together of the mold halves, but rather folds up in the process.
- the drip tray can also be designed to migrate with the welding device. This can be easily achieved in design terms if it is provided that it is held on the end face on a tappet for pushing out the inner mandrel halves.

- FIG. 5 shows the device according to FIG. 1 in an enlarged detail and from a different perspective than FIG. 4 seen from the rear in a perspective view
- Figure 6 shows two mold halves of the device of Figure 1 in front view and in a simplified representation
- Figure 7 shows a mold half of Figure 6 in front view with additional details.
- a mold which consists of two mold halves 2, 3, is built on a tool carrier 1.
- a welding device 5 for longitudinal seam welding can be moved over the mold halves 2, 3 by means of a carriage 4. While the mold half 2 is arranged stationary on the tool carrier 1, the mold half 3 is mounted on linear guides 6 and can be moved in the direction of the other mold half 2 by means of actuating cylinders 7.
- the mold halves 2, 3 have essentially the same structure. They consist of an outer cylindrical half-shell 8, which is composed of individual sections in the longitudinal direction and an inner mandrel half 10 fixed therein to form a mold gap 9. At the front end (see FIG.
- the inner mandrel half 10 is held by means of a swivel arm 11 which is attached to an end pin 11a of the inner mandrel half 10 attacks.
- the inner mandrel half 10 has at the rear end (cf. FIGS. 4, 5) a section 10 a which is enlarged in the outer diameter and which is equal to the inner diameter of the half-shell 8. With this section 10a, the inner mandrel half 10 lies firmly against the half-shell 8.
- the section 10a protrudes axially from the half-shell 8 with a piece 10b.
- Detachable tension elements 12 act on section 10a in this piece 10b and can be pulled radially outwards by means of couplable clamping pins 13 and thus against half-shell 8.
- a pivoting moment about a horizontal axis running transverse to the longitudinal direction can be exerted on the projecting piece 10b by means of a swivel arm 14 and an adjusting cylinder 15. The function will be discussed later in connection with the removal of a finished pipe.
- support members 16 which are part of a comb 17, act on them.
- These support members 16 pass through recesses 8a in the form of slots in the half-shell 8 and are coupled to the inner mandrel half 10 via sliding couplings, which consist of a cylindrical extension 16a and a corresponding recess 10e in the inner mandrel half 10.
- sliding couplings consist of a cylindrical extension 16a and a corresponding recess 10e in the inner mandrel half 10.
- the fixation of the inner mandrel half 10 can also be realized with fixing mandrels which penetrate more or less radially through the half-shell 8 and which can be moved transversely to the longitudinal axis of the mold and engage in recesses provided in the inner mandrel half.
- the fixing mandrels are preferably set at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the vertical plane of symmetry.
- a support structure 18 for the sheet metal blank B to be formed is provided under the two mold halves 2, 3 and in the open state between them.
- This support structure 18 serves to receive the sheet metal blank B and to prevent it from buckling downwards during insertion into the mold gap 9.
- the supporting structure 18 consists in particular of a plurality of supports 19 which are parallel to one another and arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the device and are arranged on the tool holder 1 and on each molding gap 20, 21 which are supported by resiliently supported guides 22, 23.
- the inner mandrel half 10 (cf. FIGS. 6, 7) of the one mold half 3 has a projection 24 on the lower apex and an abutment 24a above it. A longitudinal edge of the
- Sheet metal blank B when it is introduced into the mold gap 9 from the other mold half 2.
- the mold half 2 is assigned in its upper apex a stop 25 movable in the direction of the arrows P2, P3 with an asymmetrical tip 26 such that the sheet metal blank B inserted into the mold gap 9 with its longitudinal edge on the vertical flank of the stop 25, that is to say above a short slope 26a.
- An opposite cutting edge 26b is considerably longer and lies in the region of the outlet of the other mold gap 9, so that the sheet metal blank emerging here strikes the bevel 26b with its longitudinal edge.
- the half-shell 8 and the inner mandrel half 10 can terminate in the apex in horizontal sections 8a, 10c. This configuration is used to bring the longitudinal edges into an even better position for welding.
- the carriage 4 can also have a pressure roller 27, which is arranged upstream of the welding device 5 and presses down the longitudinal edges.
- a stationary collecting tray 30 is arranged in the upper apex area of the mold halves 2, 3, and is designed as a V-shaped profile with ends that are angled outwards, with which it can be attached to the sections 10c lies on.
- This collecting tray 30 is flexible, in particular it consists of sheet metal, so that it can be folded together when the mold halves 2, 3 are moved together. It extends over the entire length of the mold halves 2, 3 and is used to collect waste materials generated during welding. Together with the joined ends of the tube formed from the sheet metal blank 13, it forms a channel 30a for a protective gas purge or can serve as a suction channel.
- a shell running with the welding device 5 is provided. This shell can be arranged on the face of a plunger, with which the inner mandrels 10 are pushed out in accordance with the progress of the weld seam.
- the mold gap has a different width either in the circumferential direction or in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the different thickness of the sheet metal.
- the mold gap can have a constant width, because these small thickness differences lie in the range of the excess of the mold gap that is to be provided in any case.
- the operation of the device according to the invention is as follows: As shown in FIG. 3, when the mold halves 2, 3 are opened, a sheet metal blank B with parallel longitudinal edges is placed on the supporting structure 18.
- the sheet metal blank B is threaded into the mold gap 9 of the mold half 2 with the longitudinal edge on the right in the drawing.
- the left longitudinal edge is placed on the neck 24 of the inner mandrel half 10 of the other mold half 3, so that the sheet metal blank B is supported with this longitudinal edge on the abutment 24a.
- the abutment 24a provides the sheet metal blank B with precise guidance, so that the sheet metal blank B cannot tilt in the mold gap 9.
- Now the mold half 3 is moved in the direction of the mold half 2.
- the sheet metal blank B is inserted into the mold gap 9 until its right longitudinal edge is in the vicinity of the support members 16. Thereafter, the support members 16 are pulled over the sliding couplings, so that the mold gap 9 is completely released. The sheet metal blank B is then pushed further until the longitudinal edge strikes the stop 25, specifically on its vertical flank, as is made clear in FIGS. 6, 7. Since no force acts in the direction of arrow P2, the stop 25 remains in the position shown.
- the mold half 3 is retracted a little until the left longitudinal edge is no longer supported on the projection 24.
- the sheet metal blank B is then threaded with its left longitudinal edge into the mold gap 9 of the mold half 3 and the mold half 3 is moved in the direction of the mold half 2.
- the support members of the inner mandrel half are removed in the same way as for the right half of mandrel.
- the stop 25 is moved upward by the longitudinal edge in the direction of arrow P2. With this movement, the right longitudinal edge also reaches the bevel 26a and is released so that the longitudinal edges meet exactly in the desired welding position when pushed further together.
- the stop 25 is then removed from the region of the apex by means not shown, and the joint gap is released for the longitudinal seam welding. If necessary, the sheet metal edges can be reshaped by pressing means before welding in order to compensate for the springing of the sheet metal edges due to the elasticity of the material and to obtain a parallel joining gap.
- the collecting shell 30 which is designed as a V-shaped profile, is placed with its outward-pointing folded edges on the flat regions 10c and is thus carried by the inner mandrel halves 10.
- the collecting tray 30 folds further. It forms a channel with the freely protruding edge regions of the tube formed from the sheet metal blank B, through which protective gas can be passed or through which steam can be conducted.
- the pivot cylinders 11 are first released at the front end. At the rear end, the bracing is also released by pulling up the bolts 13. Then the mold half 3 is retracted a little.
- the inner mandrel halves 10 can be pulled out after removing the tension members 12. This is possible because they have play in the radial direction between them in the horizontal plane.
- the mandrel halves 10 remain in place.
- the front end of the inner mandrel halves 10 does not rest on the tube and hinder pulling out of the tube, it can be slightly vented at the front end in that a pivoting moment is exerted on the protruding piece 10b by means of the swivel arm 14 and the actuating cylinder 15. In both cases, the tube can then be pushed out of the half-shells 8 by means of a driver 28, which is carried by the carriage 4.
- the particular advantages of the invention are that it enables it to be used to form sheet metal blanks into tubes of short length in a comparatively simple device and to weld the longitudinal seams without readjustment in the clamping that is given to the sheet metal blanks by the mold halves.
