Definitions
- the present invention refers to a process and apparatus for the cold shaping or cold forming of pipes or metallic pipe fittings, as well as to the articles thus obtained.
- the aim of the present invention is to produce pipes or metallic pipe-fittings of various shapes which are much more economical than the prior art ones, while still maintening their sturdiness unaltered.
- the above mentioned aim has been achieved by foreseeing a process according to which at least substantially radial one wall is firstly produced, which is perpendicular to the pipe or pipe-fitt- ing-axis and has - as regards its thickness - such a height that its buckling limit load is lower than its combined bending and compressive limit stress; said pipe or pipe-fitting is then cold-worked by having substantially radial forces acting on an area adjacent to said radial supporting wall.
- the radial wall is in turn supported at its internal base, for instance by a plug.
- Said radial wall can be formed by having shaped radial die slides or inserts act on the pipe or pipe-fitting wall, or by axially operating one against the other two dies that leave the pipe free at a desired zone thus creating a collar.
- the subsequent cold processing or working can be carried out both by operating radial die slides or inserts or by letting a pipe portion adjacent to said radial wall contact a fixed surface which shapes said pipe portion.
- An axial shaping of the radial wall can also be foreseen, obtained with dies operating axially.
- steps of forming at least a radial wall and of subsequent shaping the pipe or pipe-fitting can be carried out also in a single operation.
- the obtained articles are preferably, but not limitedly: pipes or pipe-fittings having a same diameter at both ends or different diameters and with a polygonal or circular collar; pipes or pipe-fittings with ring or saw-toothed ends, preferably with- longitudinally ribs. Possibly these hose fittings can have circular collars capable of sealing up with conical or flat coupling surfaces.
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of two successive steps in the shaping of a pipe or pipe-fitting
- Fig. 2 shows the section along line 2-2 of Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 shows the first shaping step of a pipe which will have ends of different diameters
- Fig. 4 shows a forming phase of two adjacent radial walls on the pipe illustrated in Fig. 3
- Fig. 5 shows the shaping phase of the connecting zone between the radial walls formed in the phase illustrated in Fig. 4
- Fig. 6 shows a part-sectional view of two successive working steps carried out with an equipment allowing the taking of these steps, as well as of an axial shaping, in a single operation
- Figs. 7 and 8 show in a part-sectional side view two examples of the obtained pipe-fittings
- Fig. 9 shows a bottom perspective view of a pipe-fitting obtained by using the equipment of Fig. 6;
- Fig. 10 shows section 10-10 of the equipment of Fig. 12;
- Fig. 11 shows section 11-11 of Fig. 13;
- Figures 12 to 15 show successive working steps of a hose-fitting;
- Fig. 16 shows an enlarged detail of fig. 15;
- Fig. 17 shows an enlarged detail of a further type of shaping;
- Figures 18 and 19 show enlarged pipe-sections with two differently shaped collars;
- Fig. 20 shows a greatly enlarged detail of Fig. 16;
- Figures 21 to 23 are part-sectional side views of fittings with the hose-fitting area obtained through the working process shown in figures 12 to 15.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the working phases of a pipe 17 section.
- This pipe is inserted in the dies 20 and 20a provided with abutments 13 and is compressed axially obtaining first, in a known way, through cone 29, the enlargement of one of its portions, then the forming of radial walls 22 and 22a. These latter are then shaped by inserts 40 acting radially to the pipe section 17.
- the pipe and particularly the internal base of each radial wall 22 and 22a is supported by a support 30 inside the pipe, preferably a plug.
- This internal support 30 is provided with at least a cone 29 which produces the shaping of the pipe and supports the internal base of the radial walls 22 and 22a.
- FIGs 3, 4 and 5 show more in detail the above mentioned working phases; as shown in Fig. 3 a portion of pipe 17 is first enlarged, then continuing the compression by moving the dies 20 and 20a the radial walls 22 and 22a are formed (Fig. 4). During this phase the approach of the two dies 20 and 20a is carried out, which are drawn near until the distance between the extreme ends 21 of the dies is equal to twice the thickness of the pipe to be shaped.
- Fig. 5 shows the shaping of area 10 connecting the radial walls 22 and 22a.
- the two dies 20 and 20a are left free to move away until the distance between the extreme sides 21 is equal to the thickness required in collar 11. Consequently, the inserts 40 have front sides 40a having a width equal to the collar thickness.
- the inserts are made integral to form a fixed shaped body 41.
- the dies 25 and 25a that, in reason of the above mentioned condition, have a sufficient thickness, axially press the pipe portion 33 thus forming two opposite radial walls 22 that in this case are identical; their external connecting zone 10 adheres to the fixed shaped body 41 creating a polygonal collar 12.
- the dies 25 and 25a have polygonal peripheral surfaces 24 and opposing front surfaces 26 shaped in such a way that the distance between the two dies 25 and 25a in correspondence of the polygon edges is less than the distance existing between the dies in correspondence of the center-lines of the polygon sides.
- Fig. 7 shows a pipe-fitting 18 having a polygonal collar 11 and two portions having different diameter; this pipe-fitting has been obtained with the equipment shown in figures 1 to 5.
- Fig. 8 shows a pipe-fitting 19 similar to the one in fig. 7, but having equal diameter at both ends.
- Fig. 9 shows a pipe-fitting 14 having a polygonal collar 12 manufactured with the fixture of fig. 6 and having ends of equal diameter.
- Figures 10 to 15 refer to a further working process capable of producing other types of collars, for instance to obtain pipes or hose-fittings.
- This further working process foresees the formation of a first radial wall, which is aimed to support the subsequent step that is the forming, at a suitable distance, of a second radial wall, which itself supports the formation of a further radial wall and so on.
- a pipe or pipe-fitting 27 inside the fixture or apparatus made up of inserts 36 and of the internal support 30 which is preferably a plug.
- This internal support 30 is endowed with abutment 29a.
- the inserts have preferably a peripheral chamfer 28 liable to be partially or totally filled by the material making up the pipe, so as to form longitudinally ribbed portions 43 running along the pipe 27 body.
- Fig. 11 said ribs 43 are shown in section.
- Fig. 12 shows a pipe section 27 for hose-fitting having a smooth hose-fitting end, inserted on an internal support 30 having an abutment 29a.
- a series of inserts 36 is placed radially to the X-X axis of the pipe section 27.
- the inserts 36 have in fact a step 35 placed in correspondence of abutment 29a, taking account of portion D equal to the pipe thickness.
- the inserts 36 by closing as shown in figures 11 and 13 form the radial wall 15 and the bent tooth 16.
- the inserts 36 are opened, the pipe 27 is drawn out from the internal support 30 for a length P equal to the pitch of the hose-bearing collars. At this point, the shaping of the next radial wall starts, made possible by the presence of the previous radial wall which supports the subsequent shaping phase (Fig. 15).
- the inserts 36 are opened again, the pipe is drawn out and so on until all the desired collars are produced.
- longitudinal ribs 43 are shaped on the hose-fitting pipe, the ribs being such to prevent during the use the reciprocal rotation of the plastic or rubber pipe as regards to the fitting.
- Fig. 16 illustrates an enlarged detail of Fig. 15 showing an insert 36 apt to shape the saw-tooth hose-fitting area.
- Fig. 17 shows a particular configuration of the ring-type hose-fitting zone obtained by operating a further type of inserts 44 suitably shaped and by extracting the fitting, after each forming of the radial wall 15a.
- the inserts 44 have a front parallel to the pipe axis, therefore the tooth 16a, which will be formed between two subsequent radial walls, will be parallel to the pipe axis .
- Figures 18 and 19 show the sections of collars of different form, that is having the hose-fitting zone respectively saw-tooth or ring shaped.
- Fig. 20 shows, greatly enlarged, a detail of Fig. 16; it evidentiates the radial wall 15 joined to the bent tooth 16.
- the abutment 29a of the plug 30 is preferably not perpendicular to the X-X axis of the pipe or pipe-fitting, but it is slanted with respect to it of an angle ⁇ slightly bigger than 90°.
- the step 35 of the inserts 36 is preferably slanted to the X-X axis of an angle preferably equal to ⁇ .
- the inserts movement direction is slanted of an angle ⁇ to the axis of pipe X-X.
- the angle ⁇ is preferably inferior to 90°.
- the aim of these ⁇ and ⁇ angles which differ of 90° is to obtain the edge 48 more accentuated (reduced external bending radius r) having pressed the material between the surface 35 of the insert 36 and the ledge 29a of the plug 30.
- the angle ⁇ . can vary from 90° to 110° and the angle ⁇ from 90° to 60°.
- Figures 21, 22 and 23 illustrate examples of hose-fittings 45, 46 and 47 obtained with the process and the apparatus above described.
