Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a tubular arc-shaped hollow body from a cut metal blank, in which the hollow body is produced from the blank using U-O forming, so that the hollow body has a slot or edge joint along two abutting edges after the U-O forming of the blank has the formed board.
  • Tubular, in particular tubular, hollow bodies made of metallic material are nowadays often used in motor vehicle construction, for example as components of rear axle carriers and front and rear subframes.
  • a well-known method for producing complex-shaped tubular bodies is what is known as hydroforming (internal high-pressure forming).
  • the tubular body to be produced is formed from a tube using a liquid active medium (usually a water-oil emulsion) by applying internal pressure.
  • the pressures required for this forming process can be up to several thousand bars and are essentially dependent on the material to be formed, the material thickness and the smallest radii to be formed.
  • This hydraulic forming process requires technically complex and expensive tools, the use of which is often not worthwhile for reasons of amortization or results in a high unit price for the parts to be manufactured.
  • From the DE 100 62 836 A1 discloses a method for manufacturing a bent tubular hollow body, wherein the hollow body along its length has round and square shaped areas and follows vertical and/or horizontal bends along its length in the axial direction.
  • a sheet metal blank is first punched, with the sheet metal blank being chosen such that its width has a certain oversize compared to the dimensions of the theoretical development of the finished hollow body.
  • the metal blank is then pre-bent in a bending device designed as a die, in that the side areas of the metal blank are raised to form a U-shape.
  • the upper part of the raised sides of the workpiece is then bent into an inwardly inclined position in the areas of the hollow body that are to be formed into squares, while the ends of the raised sides are rounded inwards in the round areas of the hollow body that are to be formed.
  • the workpiece pre-bent in this way is then pressed into its final shape in a pressing tool, in that the sloping and rounded side areas of the sheet metal blank are joined under pressure without gaps at the seam point running in the longitudinal direction of the hollow body. If necessary, the hollow body is welded at the seam.
  • Components that have one or more complex-shaped tubular body such.
  • B. rear axle and front or rear subframes of motor vehicles are usually provided with reinforcements and / or cross members that are welded to the outside of the tubular body.
  • design specifications must be taken into account so that weight specifications are not exceeded and/or the required installation space is not lost.
  • the EP 2 025 424 A1 discloses a method for producing a tubular support profile for an instrument panel of a motor vehicle.
  • a sheet metal blank is placed in a forming tool, pressed by a stamp into a U-shaped recess in a lower tool and formed into a U-profile in a first forming step.
  • the U-profile becomes one between an upper tool and a lower tool Shaped slotted tube.
  • the longitudinal edges are joined by joining.
  • the method is characterized in that the U-profile is provided with connecting elements in the lower tool. It is optionally provided that sections with different cross-sectional configurations are formed on the support profile.
  • the U.S. 2006/0075920 A1 discloses a method for producing a structural component, in which first a plate made of sheet steel is formed into a shell with a U-shaped cross section, whereupon at least one transverse bulkhead or longitudinal bulkhead is introduced into the shell and fixed in position. The edge areas of the shell lying next to the free edges are then bent around the transverse bulkhead or longitudinal bulkhead to form a tubular or box-shaped longitudinal section and the edges are then welded at least in sections. Beads, embossing and/or openings can be provided in the transverse bulkheads and/or the longitudinal bulkheads.
  • the EP 0 888 835 A1 discloses a method for producing a shaped metal part, in which the shaped metal part is manufactured in several successive forming steps by bending, pressing and/or deep-drawing from a flat sheet metal blank, the metal sheet having a plurality of essentially parallel bending lines and has a channel-shaped profile or partial profile in a cross-section perpendicular to the bending lines.
  • the channel-shaped profile or partial profile is reinforced with at least one reinforcement plate, which is inserted into the profile or partial profile essentially perpendicularly to the bending lines and rigidly attached to the metal sheet before the formed metal part is completed by further forming steps carried out on the metal sheet.
  • the stiffening plates can have at least one through-opening or an open-edged recess.
  • the U.S. 2006/0016078 A1 which forms the basis for the preamble of claim 1, discloses a method of manufacturing a structural component for a motor vehicle, in which an intermediate structural member is formed from a sheet metal blank and defines a channel extending along at least part of its length. A support member is placed within the channel-shaped intermediate structural member and secured to the intermediate structural member by welding. A second molding operation is then performed on the intermediate structural member containing the support member so as to partially enclose and further secure the support member therein. The finished structural component or the intermediate structural element containing the support element can be formed into an arcuate component.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a method for producing a tubular arc-shaped hollow body of the type mentioned at the outset, with which such hollow bodies for weight-optimized and/or space-optimized chassis and body components can be produced economically.
  • the arrangement according to the invention of one or more reinforcing elements in the tubular hollow body allows chassis and body components that are weight-optimized and/or space-optimized to be produced economically with such a hollow body.
  • the at least one reinforcement element is preferably arranged on the inside at a specific point of the at least partially U-shaped section of the workpiece and is materially connected to it, so that a peak load on a section of the finished chassis and body component that is relevant to strength, e.g. on a connecting section, on which the tubular hollow body is connected to another component of the component is significantly reduced. Due to the inner partial reinforcement of the tubular hollow body, it and/or a component connected to it can be designed to be lighter.
  • the inner partial reinforcement of the tubular hollow body enables a reduction in the sheet metal thickness of the metal blank (sheet metal blank) used to produce the tubular hollow body.
  • external reinforcement or stiffening elements of the chassis or body component can sometimes be omitted due to the inner partial reinforcement of the tubular hollow body, whereby the overall weight of the chassis or body component can be reduced and installation space for other vehicle units, e.g. vehicle drive components, can be gained.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the butt edges of the tubular hollow body defining the slot or edge joint are connected to one another by welding, preferably metal active gas welding (MAG welding) or laser beam welding.
  • MAG welding metal active gas welding
  • the dimensional stability of the hollow body is improved by welding the abutting edges of the tubular hollow body.
  • the interior of the hollow body can be protected from the ingress of moisture by a continuous weld seam along the abutting edges.
  • MAG welding which is preferably used to connect the butt edges, enables high welding speeds even with curved butt edges.
  • the welding speed can be at least 10 m/min, preferably at least 15 m/min.
  • the welding wire (filler wire) fed to the welding point during MAG welding melts there in the arc or in the weld pool.
  • the slot delimited by the butt edges to be welded can be reliably filled with the melting additional material of the welding wire.
  • Laser beam welding which can be used as an alternative to connecting the abutting edges, is also characterized by high welding speeds and the ability to produce complicated seam geometries. Due to the precise, very concentrated energy input, there is little heat influence during laser beam welding and consequently only very little thermal distortion of the workpiece is to be expected. With a corresponding configuration of the method according to the invention, the laser beam welding is preferably also carried out using welding wire (filler wire).
  • the filler wire can have essentially the same material composition as the blank from which the tubular hollow body is formed.
  • the filler wire can also contain one or more strength-increasing alloy components, such as manganese, nickel and/or carbon.
  • the active gas can also contain oxygen and/or helium as a mixed gas.
  • Argon or an argon-rich mixed gas with up to 25% by volume of carbon dioxide and/or up to about 5% by volume of oxygen and/or about 20-30% by volume of helium is preferably used as the active gas (protective gas).
  • argon or helium or carbon dioxide or a mixture of at least two of these gas components is preferably used as the protective gas.
  • the tubular arc-shaped hollow body can also be referred to as a bent tubular hollow body. It follows vertical and/or horizontal bends along its length in the axial direction. With a correspondingly designed tubular hollow body, chassis and body components that are weight-optimized and space-optimized can be produced very advantageously.
  • the invention provides that the bending of the blank is carried out in such a way that the blank, which is at least partially U-shaped, defines a channel whose elongated channel base line is convex at least in sections. If necessary, a concave channel section can adjoin the convex section of the channel.
  • the at least one reinforcement element is inserted at least into the convex channel section and is bonded to it on the inside, preferably welded. On the part of the applicant it was found that this results in a made from a metal plate bent tubular hollow body, whose slit or edge joint is convex, can be reliably produced by UO-forming.
  • the at least one reinforcement element is designed as a plate-shaped or disk-shaped reinforcement element.
  • a reinforcement element can be produced inexpensively, for example by being stamped out of sheet metal.
  • the plate- or disc-shaped design of the reinforcement element makes it possible to achieve a considerable increase in stability, in particular an increase in flexural rigidity, with a relatively low weight of the reinforcement element.
  • weight reduction it is advantageous for the plate-shaped or disk-shaped reinforcement element to be a ring-shaped reinforcement element. In this way, a weight reduction can be achieved, with the reinforcing effect nevertheless remaining high.
  • the ring-shaped reinforcing element has at least one cross brace and/or a collar. This increases the dimensional stability of the reinforcement element. Accordingly, the plate thickness (sheet metal thickness) of the ring-shaped reinforcement element can be reduced and thus material and weight can be saved.
  • the at least one reinforcement element is designed in such a way that the tubular hollow body, viewed in cross section, rests completely along its inner contour on the outer peripheral contour of the reinforcement element. This gives the tubular hollow body optimal radial dimensional stability.
  • the at least one reinforcement element can also be designed in such a way that the tubular Viewed in cross section, the hollow body partially rests against the outer peripheral contour of the reinforcing element along its inner contour.
  • the peripheral contour of the reinforcing element arranged in the tubular hollow body and the adjacent inner contour of the tubular hollow body thus delimit at least one through-opening.
  • this configuration promotes a weight reduction of the tubular hollow body, since the reinforcing element arranged therein is significantly smaller and correspondingly lighter in this case compared to a reinforcing element whose peripheral contour rests essentially completely on the inner contour of the tubular hollow body.
  • the at least one reinforcement element delimits a through-opening with the inside of the hollow body, which is located in the region of the slot or edge joint.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that at least two reinforcement elements of the type mentioned are inserted into the at least partially U-shaped section of the formed blank and are integrally connected to the same on the inside, preferably welded.
  • This configuration favors a reliable and weight-optimized design of bent tubular hollow bodies by means of U-O-shaping of a metal blank if the slot or edge joint of the formed blank runs along a convexly curved section of the tubular hollow body (tubular body).
  • three reinforcement elements of the type mentioned can be inserted into an at least partially U-shaped and S-shaped section of the blank as a workpiece and welded to the formed section on the inside, with one of the reinforcement elements in a first, essentially straight channel section of the formed workpiece second the Reinforcing elements are arranged in a transition area between a convexly curved and a concavely curved channel section of the formed workpiece and the third of the reinforcing elements are arranged in a second substantially straight channel section of the formed workpiece.
  • the at least two reinforcement elements are designed differently; in particular, they can have different outer peripheral contours. This configuration favors the weight-optimized production of a complex-shaped tubular body by U-O-shaping a metal plate.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that after the insertion of the at least one reinforcement element and before the integral connection, preferably welding, of the reinforcement element to the at least partially U-shaped formed section of the blank, the formed section is calibrated. This further improves the reliability of the subsequent forming of the at least partially U-shaped preformed workpiece into a tubular cross section.
