Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for bending pipes, according to the preamble of claim 1, such as from the DE10 2008 060897 A1 known.
- Pipes are used in pipelines such as pipelines that carry large amounts of liquids or gases over long distances.
- the transported media include petroleum, chemicals and / or drinking water.
- pipelines around the world for carrying both liquid and gaseous substances over long distances are generally composed of sections of individual pipes 12 to 18 meters in length.
- the pipes mostly have a diameter of 4 to well over 75 inches and are welded together to form a pipeline on the surface of the earth, underground and / or laid in the water.
- the pipelines follow the general contour of the earth's surface.
- the course of the pipelines can in particular be horizontal and vertical Extension can also be diverted or otherwise guided around obstacles.
- a major challenge in the planning and construction of such pipelines is to join the ends of the individual pipes with high-quality welded joints.
- changes of direction in the pipeline are necessary.
- Changes in direction in pipelines can be produced by welding individual pipe sections, especially in the case of pipes with a large diameter.
- the change in direction in the pipe must be produced by bending the pipe.
- a bend is achieved by performing numerous small, arrayed bending steps in the pipe.
- the desired bending radius is generated in the form of a polygon.
- Skilled operators can efficiently control the tube benders to create precise bends in the tubes while minimizing the number of damaged or improperly bent tubes that result in wasted time and raw materials such as energy and tubes.
- the tube and the bending device After each bending process, the tube and the bending device must be moved relative to one another with great precision. Both a movement of the pipe in the bending device and a movement of the bending device itself are possible. The latter variant has the disadvantage that the pipe has to be realigned in the bending device. Moving the large diameter pipes, precisely moving the mandrel and controlling the generated bend are associated with a high level of personnel and energy requirements.
- benders are generally massive in nature and operated hydraulically.
- a bending device is generally known from US Pat U.S. 3,834,210 and the U.S. 5,092,150 known. Such bending devices have devices for gripping the pipe, moving the pipe in the bending device, and creating the bend in the pipe. These devices are all hydraulically operated under the control of an operator.
- the pamphlet DE 600 28 484 T2 Figure 3 shows a conventional bending device adapted to create bends in a large diameter pipe.
- the flexure generally includes a reinforced frame to which the components are anchored against relative movement.
- the main components of the pipe bending device comprise a bending tool, a mandrel, also called a mandrel, a support device and a fastening shoe.
- the bending tool is a solid body which is stationary with respect to the frame and has a curved surface facing the pipe, the bending tool being pressed against the pipe during the bending process.
- the support device is actuated by hydraulic pressure during the bending process and swiveled in the direction of the bending tool. Meanwhile, the fastening shoe fixes the pipe.
- the mandrel is a rigid, limbed construction that allows the tube to be bent without changing the circular nature of the tube at the bend. Such mandrels are known in the art.
- bending devices usually have three working areas in which the forces required for bending the pipe are transmitted to the pipe. During the bending process, there is an active introduction of force in a work area a hydraulic cylinder. The remaining passive work areas serve as abutments and are connected to the active work area via the frame.
- the DE 696 03 499 T2 shows a bending device in which the middle of the three work areas is designed as an active work area.
- a method for automating a bending device and a control with a programmable processor are also known. Automation is required precisely in order to carry out incremental and / or step-by-step bends with a high degree of repeatability and accuracy. If the quality is higher, the duration of the entire bending process should be reduced and the transport weight and the energy requirement of the bending device should be reduced at the same time.
- a device mentioned at the beginning is from DE 10 2008 060 897 known.
- a bending device is provided which, at least with its parts that are essential for the function of the bending machine, can be positioned completely in the interior of the pipe to be bent.
- damage to the outside of the pipe applied coating for example a paint, insulation and / or synthetic resin reinforcement, principle avoided.
- a bending device which carries out the bend inside the pipeline. It has 2 active work areas (front and rear) whereas the middle work area is passive. The exact application of force to both separate work areas is disadvantageous here.
- the contact elements are provided on the carrier of the bending device, two contact elements on a first side of the carrier at the ends of the carrier and one contact element on a second side opposite the first side of the carrier are arranged in the middle of the carrier.
- the contact elements can be placed on the inner surface of the tube, in particular in a form-fitting manner. This makes it possible for the bending device to adapt to the inner surface of the pipe when the forces necessary for bending are introduced into the pipe, thus avoiding damage to the pipe.
- the contact elements also consist of a type of rubber, hardwood, an aluminum alloy and / or a plastic with an appropriate Shore hardness.
- This device is in need of improvement with regard to the bending accuracy, especially with regard to coated pipes.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a bending device with which the coated pipe can be bent with greater accuracy.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Vorrichtung zum Biegen von Rohren, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wie z.B. aus der
Diese Rohre werden bei Rohrleitungen wie Pipelines verwendet, die große Mengen an Flüssigkeiten oder Gasen über weite Strecken führen. Die transportierten Medien sind unter anderem Erdöl, Chemikalien und/oder Trinkwasser.These pipes are used in pipelines such as pipelines that carry large amounts of liquids or gases over long distances. The transported media include petroleum, chemicals and / or drinking water.
Weltweit existieren Rohrleitungen zum Führen von sowohl flüssigen als auch gasförmigen Stoffen über große Strecken. Diese Rohrleitungen sind im Allgemeinen aus Abschnitten einzelner Rohre mit Längen von 12 bis 18 Metern zusammengesetzt. Die Rohre weisen zumeist einen Durchmesser von 4 bis weit über 75 Inch auf und sind zu einer Rohrleitung zusammengeschweißt auf der Erdoberfläche, unterirdisch und/oder im Wasser verlegt. Häufig folgen die Rohrleitungen der allgemeinen Kontur der Erdoberfläche. Der Verlauf der Rohrleitungen kann insbesondere in seiner horizontalen und vertikalen Erstreckung auch umgeleitet oder in sonstiger Weise um Hindernisse herumgeführt sein.There are pipelines around the world for carrying both liquid and gaseous substances over long distances. These pipelines are generally composed of sections of
Eine große Herausforderung bei der Planung und dem Bau von derartigen Rohrleitungen besteht darin, die Enden der einzelnen Rohre mit qualitativ hochwertigen Schweißverbindungen zu fügen. Um der Kontur der Erdoberfläche zu folgen und etwaige Hindernisse in dem Verlauf der Rohrleitungen zu umgehen, sind Richtungsänderungen in der Rohrleitung notwendig. Beim Erzeugen der Richtungsänderungen wird weitestgehend versucht, auf Schweißverbindungen zu verzichten. Richtungsänderungen in Rohrleitungen können, gerade bei Rohren mit einem großen Durchmesser, durch Verschweißen einzelner Rohrstücke erzeugt werden. Um die Anzahl der Schweißverbindungen zu minimieren und die Zuverlässigkeit der Rohrleitungen somit zu erhöhen, muss die Richtungsänderung in dem Rohr durch Biegen des Rohrs erzeugt werden.A major challenge in the planning and construction of such pipelines is to join the ends of the individual pipes with high-quality welded joints. In order to follow the contour of the earth's surface and avoid any obstacles in the course of the pipelines, changes of direction in the pipeline are necessary. When generating the changes in direction, an attempt is made as far as possible to dispense with welded connections. Changes in direction in pipelines can be produced by welding individual pipe sections, especially in the case of pipes with a large diameter. In order to minimize the number of welded joints and thus to increase the reliability of the pipelines, the change in direction in the pipe must be produced by bending the pipe.
Wie es bei Rohren großen Durchmessers üblich ist, wird eine Biegung erreicht, indem zahlreiche kleine, angeordnete Biegeschritte in dem Rohr durchgeführt werden. Der gewünschte Biegeradius wird also in Form eines Polygons erzeugt. Bei einer solchen Biegesystematik hat die Bedienungsperson die vollständige Kontrolle über die Anzahl der zu erzeugenden inkrementellen und/oder schrittweisen Biegungen, über den Abstand zwischen den inkrementellen und/oder schrittweisen Biegungen sowie über das Ausmaß jeder inkrementellen und/oder schrittweisen Biegung in dem Rohr. Erfahrene Bedienungspersonen können die Rohrbiegemaschinen effizient steuern, um präzise Biegungen in den Rohren zu erzeugen und dabei die Anzahl der beschädigten oder fehlerhaft gebogenen Rohre zu minimieren, die in einer Verschwendung von Zeit und Rohstoffen wie Energie und Rohre resultieren.As is common with large diameter pipes, a bend is achieved by performing numerous small, arrayed bending steps in the pipe. The desired bending radius is generated in the form of a polygon. With such a bend scheme, the operator has complete control over the number of incremental and / or incremental bends to be made, the distance between the incremental and / or incremental bends, and the extent of each incremental and / or incremental bend in the pipe. Skilled operators can efficiently control the tube benders to create precise bends in the tubes while minimizing the number of damaged or improperly bent tubes that result in wasted time and raw materials such as energy and tubes.
Nach jedem Biegevorgang müssen Rohr und Biegevorrichtung relativ zueinander mit hoher Präzision bewegt werden. Dabei ist sowohl eine Bewegung des Rohres in der Biegevorrichtung als auch eine Bewegung der Biegevorrichtung selbst möglich. Die letztere Variante hat den Nachteil, dass das Rohr erneut in der Biegevorrichtung ausgerichtet werden muss. Das Bewegen der Rohre mit großem Durchmesser, das präzise Versetzen des Dorns und die Kontrolle der erzeugten Biegung sind mit einem hohen personellen Aufwand und Energiebedarf verbunden.After each bending process, the tube and the bending device must be moved relative to one another with great precision. Both a movement of the pipe in the bending device and a movement of the bending device itself are possible. The latter variant has the disadvantage that the pipe has to be realigned in the bending device. Moving the large diameter pipes, precisely moving the mandrel and controlling the generated bend are associated with a high level of personnel and energy requirements.

Die Druckschrift
Wie bereits die oben genannte Biegevorrichtung zeigt, weisen Biegevorrichtungen üblicher Weise drei Arbeitsbereiche auf, in denen die zum Biegen des Rohres benötigten Kräfte auf des Rohr übertragen werden. Beim Biegevorgang erfolgt in einem Arbeitsbereich eine aktive Krafteinleitung mittels eines Hydraulikzylinders. Die übrigen passiven Arbeitsbereiche dienen als Widerlager und sind über den Rahmen mit dem aktiven Arbeitsbereich verbunden. Die
Zum Biegen derartiger Rohre mit großem Durchmesser müssen große Kräfte aufgebracht werden. Entsprechend groß und massiv müssen die notwendigen Biegevorrichtungen und der Dorn ausgeführt sein. Das für den Einsatz derartig großer Biegevorrichtungen benötigte Equipment wie beispielsweise Dieselaggregate, Hydraulikpumpen und Dorne ist ebenfalls von großem Volumen und großer Masse. Insgesamt ist festzustellen, dass der Betrieb derartiger Biegevorrichtungen beim Transport und am Einsatzort hohe Anforderungen an den Platzbedarf stellt. Zu den hohen Kosten der Logistik addieren sich die Kosten für Verbrauchsstoffe, insbesondere Treibstoffe und Energieträger.In order to bend such large diameter pipes, large forces must be applied. The necessary bending devices and the mandrel must be designed accordingly large and massive. The equipment required for the use of such large bending devices, such as diesel units, hydraulic pumps and mandrels, is also of great volume and mass. Overall, it can be stated that the operation of such bending devices during transport and on site makes high demands on the space requirements. In addition to the high costs of logistics, the costs for consumables, especially fuel and energy sources, are added.

Günstig ist es, was auch für die nachfolgende erfindungsgemäße Lösung gilt, dass an dem Träger der Biegevorrichtung zumindest drei Kontaktelemente vorgesehen sind, wobei zwei Kontaktelemente auf einer ersten Seite des Trägers an den Enden des Trägers und ein Kontaktelement auf einer der ersten Seite gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seite des Trägers in der Mitte des Trägers angeordnet sind. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass die Biegevorrichtung wie eine Wippe innerhalb des Rohres beweglich ist. Darüber hinaus ist es günstig, dass die Kontaktelemente an der inneren Oberfläche des Rohrs insbesondere formschlüssig anlegbar sind. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass sich die Biegevorrichtung bei der Einleitung der zum Biegen notwendigen Kräfte in das Rohr der inneren Oberfläche des Rohres anpasst und so eine Beschädigung des Rohres vermieden wird. Die Kontaktelemente bestehen auch gemäß einer Lehre der Erfindung aus einer Gummiart, Hartholz, einer Aluminiumlegierung und/oder einem Kunststoff mit angemessener Shore-Härte.It is favorable, which also applies to the following solution according to the invention, that at least three contact elements are provided on the carrier of the bending device, two contact elements on a first side of the carrier at the ends of the carrier and one contact element on a second side opposite the first side of the carrier are arranged in the middle of the carrier. This makes it possible for the bending device to be movable like a rocker inside the pipe. In addition, it is favorable that the contact elements can be placed on the inner surface of the tube, in particular in a form-fitting manner. This makes it possible for the bending device to adapt to the inner surface of the pipe when the forces necessary for bending are introduced into the pipe, thus avoiding damage to the pipe. According to a teaching of the invention, the contact elements also consist of a type of rubber, hardwood, an aluminum alloy and / or a plastic with an appropriate Shore hardness.
Diese Vorrichtung ist verbesserungswürdig hinsichtlich der Biegegenauigkeit insbesondere im Bezug auf beschichtete Rohre.This device is in need of improvement with regard to the bending accuracy, especially with regard to coated pipes.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Biegevorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der beschichtete Rohr mit einer höheren Genauigkeit gebogen werden können.The invention is based on the object of creating a bending device with which the coated pipe can be bent with greater accuracy.
