Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing pipe connections, fittings and the like, in particular threaded connector, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 14 (see, for example WO-A-2005/061148 ).
- Fittings are mass-produced goods that can be produced in extremely high quantities with maximum efficiency. However, compromises on quality must not be made. This places high demands on mechanical engineering, mold making and process engineering. As a "threaded connector" fittings are referred to in practice, having a threaded end and a set up for press-fitting end.
- a method of making stainless steel fittings is known.
- This method utilizes a die in which a pipe section is to be inserted as a blank and a compression mandrel which is pressed into the pipe end to widen the pipe end.
- the pipe wall is stretched in the circumferential direction.
- a shoulder formed on the mandrel axial pressure is exerted on the front end of the pipe section, so that the pipe wall is compressed in the axial direction.
- This Process is used to produce an annular bead running all around the pipe wall into which an O-ring can be inserted as a seal.
- the main focus of the previously known methods was the production of fittings with a seat for an O-ring.
- the fittings had the same connection technology at both ends, ie. each an O-ring seat and a pressing area for connecting a pipe. But the tube wall is so thin that no common thread can be applied if a threaded connector is to be produced.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a robust and highly efficient production process for the production of fittings, which at their two mutually opposite ends use a different connection technology.
- Another object of the invention is to produce fittings having a section of non-round cross-section.
- pipe sections can be formed into a product having a first end with thicker wall thickness, a second end with thinner wall thickness and a profiled in between, eg octagonal or hexagonal section.
- the thick-walled pipe end may be provided with an external thread, an internal thread or other connecting means which requires a thicker wall.
- the thinner-walled tube end may be provided with another connection means, such as an annular bead into which an O-ring is to be inserted, the tube end then how to handle a pressfitting. It can also serve as a solder connection.
- Other joining techniques which tend to favor thin-walled pipe ends, can also be used.
- the expansion of the pipe end takes place in two sub-steps.
- two different mandrels are used.
- the first mandrel is used in a first expansion step to expand the pipe end to a small diameter.
- a profiling can be generated in an intermediate portion of the pipe section.
- the profiling can for example be a hexagonal, octagonal or other profiling. This can be generated to final dimensions.
- the pipe end adjoining the profiled area is preferably widened to a desired extent. If the pipe piece serving as a blank already had an initial profile, this can be eliminated during the expansion.
- the cross section of the pipe end is then round regardless of an existing initial profile in any case.
- the production (or preservation) of the profiling in the intermediate section and the widening of the pipe end are preferably carried out in a die which surrounds the profiled region of the pipe end on the outside.
- This part of the die is preferably formed in two or more parts, the parts being movable e.g. are mounted radially adjustable.
- Another method step is a drawing operation to be performed at the pipe end.
- a pulling device is attached to the pipe end.
- the pulling device preferably include a pipe end outside the comprehensive draw ring and a mandrel.
- a mandrel for example, the Aufweitdorn the Aufweit suitss serve. If the widening step runs in two stages, this can be done for the second Expander used forming mandrel can be used as part of the pulling device.
- the wall thickness of the pipe end is reduced. It can be reduced to the appropriate level, for example, to form a compression nozzle.
- Other processing steps may follow, such as facing the end face of the pipe end, attaching one or more annular beads to accommodate O-rings or other elements, etc.
- the pipe end can be widened with a further mandrel, for which purpose it is accommodated in the die, which conforms to the outside of the pipe end. If a tapered thread is to be attached to the pipe end, the pipe end can be radially compressed to obtain a conical basic shape. In this case, the pipe end, if necessary, be supported by one or more movable moldings from the inside.
- the polygonal shape can be removed during the widening step in order to give the pipe end a circular cross-section.
- At the formation of the desired shape of the pipe end may be followed by another processing step such as facing, in which the end face of the pipe end is rotated smoothly.
- further processing steps can be cut, rolled or otherwise applied to the outer surface of the pipe end an external thread.
- a conical internal thread can also be attached.
- pipe end is cylindrical, an internal and / or external thread can be attached.
- grooves or flanges may be attached to seals or other sealants.
- FIG. 1 a pipe section 1 is illustrated, from which the in FIG. 9 illustrated fitting 2 is to be produced.
- the fitting 2 has two differently shaped ends 3, 4 and an interposed polygonal intermediate section 5. This one can, like FIG. 10 shows, have an octagonal cross section or a deviating cross section.
- the ends 3, 4 have emerged from the pipe ends 6, 7 of the pipe section 1. Between the pipe ends 6, 7 is a section 8, which is formed into the polygonal intermediate section 5.
- the section 8 and the pipe ends 6, 7 preferably have a matching diameter and cross-section.
- a device which in the FIGS. 3, 4, 5 . 6 and alternatively contains 7 or 8 illustrated components.
- a first forming step is in FIG. 3 carried out.
- a die 9 is provided which has a central bore for receiving the pipe end 7 and also the end face 10 of the pipe end 7 is supported.
- To the die 7 may also include a core 11 which sits in the bore of the die and the pipe end 7 is supported from the inside.
- mold parts 12, 13 which define a polygonal cross section. This polygonal cross-section preferably corresponds to the desired outer shape of the intermediate section 5.
- the molded parts 12, 13 are preferably radially adjustable. There may be provided two, three or more correspondingly cooperating moldings, which are connected to not further illustrated adjusting devices.
- a first section 15 has a cross section corresponding to the internal cross section of the parts 12, 13, but it has a reduced by the wall thickness of the intermediate portion 5 size.
- section 15 is octagonal.
- the section 15 is followed by another preferably slightly conical section 16, which serves to expand the pipe end 6.
- the pipe end 6 is surrounded by an annular die part 17, which has a cylindrical opening for this purpose.
- a transition section 18 is arranged, which forms a rounded transition between the sections 15, 16.
- the device is after FIG. 4 intended.
- a matrix 9 with the matrix 9 after FIG. 3 may be identical (but not necessarily).
- a core 11 is disposed therein to secure the pipe end 7 and prevent it from collapsing inwardly.
- an expanding mandrel 19 is provided which in turn has a polygonal section 20 and a nearly cylindrical section 21 (of larger diameter). Between the two sections 20, 21, a relatively steep shoulder 22 is provided to bring the fitting to be produced in the corresponding area to final shape.
- a draw ring 23 is now positioned over the pipe end 6.
- the draw ring 23 has an opening 24 which is substantially cylindrical or slightly conical. Its lower edge is formed by an annular surface 25 whose diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the section 21 of the mandrel 19.
- the existing after expansion wall thickness of the pipe end. 6 is greater than the difference in diameter between the portion 21 and the annular surface 25. Accordingly, between the annular surface 25 and the remaining opening 24 is an in FIG. 4 indicated stage 22a present.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a further die 26 for the continuation of the manufacturing process at the second tube end 7.
- the die 26 is constructed in several parts.
- a lower annular part 27 has a cylindrical opening with diameter of the first pipe end 6.
- a core 28 may be placed, which supports the pipe end 6 inwardly and prevents it from collapsing under the influence of axial pressure.
- the intermediate portion 5 may be encompassed by a plurality of adjustably mounted die parts 29, 30, the inner shape of which is adapted to the intermediate portion 5, to lie smoothly against this. Further die parts 31, 32 can surround a transition region 33 of the fitting 2 in order to support it. An upper die part 34 supports the pipe end 7 to the outside and has for this purpose a cylindrical passage opening of corresponding diameter.
- the device after FIG. 6 is associated with an expanding mandrel 35 having a lower portion 36. This is adapted to the inner shape of the polygonal intermediate portion 5.
- the device as shown FIG. 7 be designed to be visible.
- the pipe end 6 is surrounded by a part 27 of a die 26, which also has die parts 29 to 32. These parts can be the same as in FIG. 6 be.
- the piece of pipe from the die 26 to FIG. 6 in a same or similar trained mold 26 after FIG. 7 to convict.
- the upper die part 34 is missing, so that the pipe end 7 protrudes freely out of the die 26.
- elements 38, 39 of a pusher 40 act on the outside of the pipe end 7 in order to apply this with a radially inwardly directed force.
- the elements 38, 39 may be connected to a drive means connected in the radial direction movable slides, fingers or the like, which attach in particular to the upper edge of the pipe end 7.
- a drive means connected in the radial direction movable slides, fingers or the like, which attach in particular to the upper edge of the pipe end 7.
- FIG. 8 shows it is also possible and useful in many cases, when pressing the ring 38, 39, the pipe end 7 from the inside with a mandrel 42 support.
- This can consist of several movably mounted elements that can be adjusted in the radial direction.
- the diameter of the mandrel 42 can be changed in order first to expand it in the interior of the pipe end 7 and then to convert the pipe end 7 with the ring 38, 39 into a conical shape. Thereafter, the mandrel 42 can be reduced in diameter again and extended out of the pipe end 7.
- the mold parts 12, 13 and the female part 17 are removed. It is then moved the drawing ring 23 via the pipe end 6. The diameter thereof is slightly smaller than the diameter of the annular surface 25, so that the drawing ring 23 fits over the pipe end 6. Then, in a second widening step, the expanding mandrel 19 is retracted into the pipe end 6, which is thereby further widened. Its outer diameter is now larger than the inner diameter of the annular surface 25. This state is in FIG. 4 illustrated.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the end of this drawing process.
- an intermediate molding which has two pipe ends 6, 7 with different wall thicknesses.
- the intermediate molding may already be sufficiently processed. Usually, however, further processing steps are required. For example, it may be necessary to smooth the upper edge, ie the end face of the pipe end 6, for example by facing. This process is not further illustrated.
- FIG. 6 illustrates further processing steps that can be performed on the pipe end 7.
- the female part 34 is pushed onto the pipe end 7 and made an expansion by means of the expanding mandrel 35.
- the female part 34 may be formed in one or more parts. Multi-part die parts can also be moved radially.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the parts 38, 39 combined into a ring which is pressed in the direction of the arrow F on the pipe end 7. Its passage opening 41 characterizes the cone shape on the pipe end. 7
- the tube end 7 can be supported in this process by the mandrel 42 from the inside, as FIG. 8 illustrated. It is also possible to make a conical widening of the pipe end 7.
- the front end of the pipe end 7 can, if necessary, be turned flat or otherwise smoothed.
- other shapes can be attached to the fitting 2, for example by providing the pipe end 7 with a conical external thread. The fitting 2 is then completed.
- FIG. 14 shows, pushed onto the expanded pipe end 6 of the pull ring 23. Then, the tube end 6 is widened so far by means of the second expanding mandrel 19 that its outer diameter exceeds the inner diameter of the annular surface 25. It closes, like FIG. 15 indicates the drawing step as already related to FIG. 5 has been described.
- the die 9 and the core 11 can be used to carry out the steps according to the FIGS. 13 to 15 be the same, ie the steps can all run in one station. The same applies with regard to FIGS. 3 to 5 ,
- the further deformation of the pipe end 7 takes place according to the FIGS. 16 to 18 similar to that described above Wise. However, there is a difference in the deformation of the pipe end 7, which initially has a polygonal shape after performing the drawing step.
- the Aufweitdorn 35 eliminates the polygonal shape when it is retracted into the pipe end 7.
- Its cylindrical or slightly conical section 37 presses the tube wall smoothly against the corresponding cylindrical or slightly conical wall of the female part 34.
- the pipe end 7, like the FIGS. 17 and 18 either with internal support by the mandrel 42 (FIG. FIG. 18 ) or without the same are converted into a cone shape, for which purpose the pressing device 40 is used.
- the obtained fitting 2 after FIGS. 19 and 20 corresponds to the fitting 2 after FIGS. 9 and 10 ,
- fittings 2 having different ends 3, 4 at which different joining measures can be accomplished.
- the fitting 2 is a threaded connector, one end of which 4 may be formed as a press fitting and the other end 3 as a threaded end.
- an intermediate portion 5 is arranged with preferably polygonal cross-section. The preparation takes place starting from a pipe section 1 in a few process-safe process steps.
