Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung längsnahtgeschweißter Rohre nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bzw. des Anspruchs 5.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the production longitudinally welded pipes according to the preamble of claim 1 and of Claim 5.

Aus der US 3 023 300 A ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung längsnahtgeschweißter Metallrohre bekannt, bei dem ein von einer Vorratsspule abgezogenes Metallband durch eine aus mehreren hintereinander angeordneten formrollenpaaren bestehende Formeinrichtung in kontinuierlicher Arbeitsweise zu einem Schlitzrohr geformt wird, die Bandkanten des Schlitzrohres miteinander verschweißt werden, das geschweißte Metallrohr mit einer schraubenlinien- oder ringförmigen Wellung versehen wird, und das gewellte Rohr auf eine Vorratstrommel aufgewickelt wird.From US Pat. No. 3,023,300 A, a method for producing longitudinally welded seams is disclosed Metal pipes known in which a deducted from a supply spool metal strip one consisting of several successively arranged form roller pairs Forming device is formed in continuous operation to a slotted tube, the Band edges of the slot tube are welded together, the welded Metal tube is provided with a helical or annular corrugation, and the corrugated tube is wound on a storage drum.

Mit einem solchen Verfahren, welches insbesondere für die Ummantelung der Seelen von elektrischen Kabeln geeignet ist, lassen sich Metallrohre in großen Längen herstellen.With such a procedure, which in particular for the sheathing of souls suitable for electrical cables, can be metal pipes in long lengths produce.

Aus der DE 44 34 134 A1 ist ein ähnliches Verfahren bekannt, mit welchem sich Metallrohre mit einem Außendurchmesser zwischen 1 und 6 mm herstellen lassen. Auch bei diesem Verfahren wird ein kontinuierlich von einem Vorrat abgezogenes Metallband zu einem Schlitzrohr geformt und die Bandkanten miteinander verschweißt. Die Formvorrichtung besteht ebenfalls aus mehreren formrollensätzen. From DE 44 34 134 A1 a similar method is known with which Metal tubes can be produced with an outer diameter between 1 and 6 mm. Also in this process, a continuously withdrawn from a supply Metal strip formed into a slotted tube and the strip edges welded together. The molding device also consists of several roll-forming sets.

Für die exakte Führung des geschlitzten Rohres unterhalb der Schweißeinrichtung sorgt ein Spannbackenabzug, der das Schlitzrohr fest umgreift. Hinter dem Spannbackenabzug läuft das Schlitzrohr in eine Führungseinrichtung ein, die das Rohr vor und hinter dem Schweißpunkt exakt führt. Eine Ausnehmung in der Führungseinrichtung gibt die Bandkanten in einem kurzen Bereich frei, so daß ein Laserstrahl die Bandkanten verschweißen kann.Ensures the exact guidance of the slotted tube below the welding device a jaw trigger, which firmly surrounds the slot tube. Behind the Jaw trigger enters the slotted tube in a guide device, which is the tube exactly before and after the welding point. A recess in the Guide means releases the band edges in a short area, so that a Laser beam can weld the band edges.

Dieses Verfahren ist besonders geeignet zur Herstellung von Röhrchen aus rostfreiem Stahl mit Abmessungen von ca. 3 - 3,5 mm und einer Wanddicke von 0,2 mm.This method is particularly suitable for the production of tubes made of stainless Steel with dimensions of approx. 3 - 3.5 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm.

Aus der JP-A-55 022 442 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines längsnahtgeschweißten Metallrohres aus einem kontinuierlich zugeführten Metallband bekannt, bei welchem das Metallband in einem Ziehring mit einer sich in Fertigungsrichtung verringernden Bohrung zu einem Schlitzrohr geformt wird. In einem dahinter angeordneten zweiten Ziehring mit einer Bohrung mit durchgehend gleichem Durchmesser werden die Bandkanten zusammengehalten und hinter dem zweiten Ziehring miteinander verschweißt.From JP-A-55 022 442 is a method for producing a longitudinally welded Metal tube known from a continuously fed metal strip, in which the metal band in a drawing ring with a decreasing in the direction of production Hole is formed into a slotted tube. In a second arranged behind it Draw ring with a hole with the same diameter are the Band edges held together and behind the second drawing ring with each other welded.

Aus der JP-A-11 221 621 ist ein Verfahren zur kontinuierlichen Herstellung von Metallrohren aus einem Metallband bekannt, bei welchem das Metallband durch mehrere im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Formrollenpaare zu einem Schlitzrohr geformt und anschließend der Längsschlitz verschweißt wird.From JP-A-11 221 621 a method for the continuous production of Metal pipes known from a metal strip, in which the metal strip through a plurality of spaced apart pairs of forming rollers to a slotted tube shaped and then the longitudinal slot is welded.

Das Formen eines Metallbandes zu einem Schlitzrohr mit einem Außendurchmesser von weniger als 6 mm ist begrenzt auf eine Wanddicke von mindestens 0,15 mm. Bei geringeren Wanddicken läßt sich eine exakte Ausrichtung der Bandkanten zueinander nicht verwirklichen. Ein genaues Aneinanderliegen der Bandkanten ist jedoch bei solchen extrem geringen Wanddicken zur Erzielung einer guten Schweißnaht unerläßlich. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn die Verschweißung der Bandkanten mit einer Laserschweißeinrichtung vorgenommen wird.Forming a metal strip into a slit tube having an outer diameter of less than 6 mm is limited to a wall thickness of at least 0.15 mm. at smaller wall thicknesses can be an exact alignment of the band edges to each other do not realize. However, an exact juxtaposition of the band edges is included such extremely small wall thicknesses to achieve a good weld essential. This is especially true when the welding of the strip edges with a laser welding device is made.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs beschriebene Verfahren dahingehend zu verbessern, daß auch Rohre mit einem Außendurchmesser von weniger als 6 mm aus einem Metallband mit einer Wanddicke von weniger als 0,15 insbesondere weniger als 0,10 mm herstellbar sind.The present invention is therefore the object of the above described method to improve that pipes with a Outer diameter of less than 6 mm from a metal strip with a wall thickness of less than 0.15, in particular less than 0.10 mm can be produced.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 bzw. Anspruchs 5 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 or claim 5 solved.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Merkmale ist es in überraschend einfacher Weise gelungen, ein Metallrohr mit einer derartig geringen Wanddicke ohne nachfolgende Ziehprozesse fehlerfrei herzustellen.By the features according to the invention, it is in a surprisingly simple manner succeeded, a metal tube with such a small wall thickness without subsequent To make drawing processes error-free.

Es wird vermutet, daß durch die vergrößerte Reibung zwischen den Ziehsteinen und dem gerundeten Metallband ein "Wandern" des gerundeten Metallbandes bzw. des Schlitzrohres ausgeschlossen wird. Insbesondere bei Verwendung von Ziehsteinen aus Diamantwerkstoff ist ein Verschleiß der Ziehsteine nicht zu erwarten, so daß große Längen des Metallrohres ohne Unterbrechung des Fertigungsprozesses herstellbar sind.It is believed that due to the increased friction between the dies and the rounded metal band a "hiking" of the rounded metal band or the Slot tube is excluded. Especially when using dies Diamond material is not expected to wear the dies, so that large Lengths of the metal tube without interruption of the manufacturing process can be produced.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen erfaßt.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are covered in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung ist anhand der in den Figuren 1 und 2 schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.The invention is based on the schematically shown in Figures 1 and 2 Embodiments explained in more detail.

In der Figur 1 ist der Ablauf des Verfahrens vereinfacht dargestellt. Von einer Vorratsspule 1 wird ein Metallband 2 mit einer Wanddicke von weniger als 0,15 mm abgezogen und in einer Rohrformeinrichtung 3 allmählich zum Schlitzrohr geformt, und die Längskanten des Schlitzrohres mit einer Laserschweißeinrichtung 4 verschweißt. Das geschweißte Rohr 5 wird von einem Spannzangenabzug 6 gefaßt und einer Vorratstrommel 7 zugeführt.In the figure 1, the flow of the process is shown simplified. From one Supply reel 1 becomes a metal strip 2 with a wall thickness of less than 0.15 mm withdrawn and gradually formed in a tube forming device 3 to the slotted tube, and the longitudinal edges of the slot tube with a laser welding device 4 welded. The welded tube 5 is taken from a collet chuck 6 and a Supply drum 7 fed.

Das geschweißte Rohr 5 hat beispielsweise folgende Abmessungen Außendurchmesser D = 2,0 mm Wanddicke s = 0,075 mm. The welded tube 5 has, for example, the following dimensions Outer diameter D = 2.0 mm Wall thickness s = 0.075 mm.

Um ein Rohr mit diesen Abmessungen herstellen zu können, sind äußerst hohe Anforderungen an den Rohrformprozeß zu stellen.In order to produce a tube with these dimensions are extremely high Requirements for the tube forming process.

Figur 2 zeigt einen seitlichen Schnitt durch die Rohrformeinrichtung 3.FIG. 2 shows a lateral section through the tube forming device 3.

Das Metallband 2 wird mittels eines nicht dargestellten herkömmlichen Rollenwerkzeugs zunächst nur an den Bandkanten mit einer Krümmung versehen, deren Radius dem Radius des fertigen Rohres nahezu entspricht.The metal strip 2 is by means of a conventional roller tool, not shown initially provided only at the band edges with a curvature whose radius the Radius of the finished tube almost corresponds.

Das vorverformte Metallband wird dann durch mehrere hintereinander angeordnete Ziehsteine 8, 9, 10 und 11, die eine konische Öffnung aufweisen, allmählich zu einem Rohr mit einem offenen Schlitz verformt. Mit besonderem Vorteil bestehen die Ziehsteine 8, 9, 10 und 11 aus Diamant. Der Öffnungswinkel der Ziehsteine 8, 9, 10 und 11 beträgt in etwa 4°.The pre-formed metal strip is then arranged through several successively Drawing dies 8, 9, 10 and 11, which have a conical opening, gradually become one Pipe deformed with an open slot. With particular advantage, the dies 8, 9, 10 and 11 made of diamond. The opening angle of the dies 8, 9, 10 and 11 is about 4 °.

Hinter dem letzten Ziehstein 11 ist eine Rohrführung 12 mit einer zylindrischen Bohrung angeordnet.Behind the last die 11 is a pipe guide 12 with a cylindrical bore arranged.

In einem hinter der Rohrführung 12 angeordneten Gehäuse 13 ist ein sogenanntes Schwert 14 vorgesehen, welches durch den Längsschlitz des Rohres in das Rohrinnere hineinragt und die Längskanten des Rohres kontaktiert. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine exakte Führung der Bandkanten, so daß keine Schwierigkeiten beim Schweißen auftreten. Hinter dem Gehäuse 13 ist ein letzter Ziehstein 15 vorgesehen, dessen konisch verlaufende Öffnung an ihrer engsten Stelle, d. h. an der Austrittsstelle die Bandkanten zusammenführt, so daß diese mittels der Laserschweißeinrichtung 16 miteinander verschweißt werden können. Auch dieser Ziehstein 15 ist aus Diamant hergestellt.In a arranged behind the pipe guide 12 housing 13 is a so-called Sword 14 is provided, which through the longitudinal slot of the tube into the tube interior protrudes and contacted the longitudinal edges of the tube. This results in an exact Guiding the strip edges, so that no difficulties in welding occur. Behind the housing 13, a last die 15 is provided, the conical extending opening at its narrowest point, d. H. at the exit point the band edges merges so that they by means of the laser welding device 16 with each other can be welded. Also, this die 15 is made of diamond.
