【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、所定幅で形成された平板部と、平板上に一定高さの複数リブが突設されたリブ形成部とが連設されてなるリブ付き板材を上ロールと対をなす下ロールとの間に挾圧して曲げ成形加工を施す、リブ付き板材の成形加工方法及び加工装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ロケットの機体タンクのシリンダスキンや、圧力容器のケーシング等においては、平板の内面側に格子状、縞状等の補強用のリブが突設されたリブ付き板材をブレーキプレスにて順送り曲げ成形して所定の曲率半径にする。そして、この板材ピースを溶接等によって結合して、単一の筒体を製作している。
【0003】
図4〜図5は、かかる板材ピースとしてのリブ付き板材の概略を示し、図4はその斜視図、図5は図4のB−B線断面図であり、図4〜図5において、1はリブ付き板材であり、周部にある平板部2及び該平板部2の内部にリブ3aが格子状、縞状等の形状に突設されたリブ形成部3よりなり、該リブ形成部3が曲げの内側になるように所定の曲率半径R(図5参照)にて曲げ成形して製作される。
【0004】
図6〜図9はリブ付き板材をプレス曲げ成形する概略を示し、図6はプレス成形する際の押し込み位置、図7、図8はリブ位置及び平板部での成形状態を示し、図9は図7の斜視図を示す。
【0005】
すなわち、図7に示すように、前記リブ付き板材1を曲げ成形加工により製作する際には、ダイ40の上面に、リブ付き板材1を乗せて、さらに同時にパンチ30で押し込み、わずかに曲げ成形する。
続いて図6に示すリブ付き板材を板材1をX方向に移動させて、次の列のリブ交差部3Cをパンチ30で押し込む。これを最後の列まで繰り返す。
この作業を5回程度繰り返し所定の曲率Rになるまで行い、曲げ成形する。
【0006】
平板部2の端部を曲げるために、図8に示すようにリブ位置を成形するのとは別のパンチ31とダイ41に取り替え、50mm程度のピッチでわずかずつ曲げ成形して、所定の曲率Rになるまで成形する。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
図4〜図5に示すリブ付き板材1は、端部から一定幅の周部分が平板部2、該平板部2に囲まれた形でリブ形成部3が配された構造となっているため、平板部2が形成されている周部の剛性が大きく剛構造で、リブ形成部3がある中央部の剛性が周部よりもかなり小さい柔構造となる。
【0008】
このため、かかるリブ付き板材1を図7に示すように、パンチ30で押し込み曲げるために、線当たりで局部成形され押し込み量が大きすぎるとリブ3aが倒れ変形し、リブ3c近傍に割れなどの不具合が発生しやすい。
【0009】
一方、前記不具合の発生を回避するには、リブ付き板材1の曲げ成形加工時に、図6に示すように、リブの中で剛性が高いリブ交差部3cをわずかずつ成形するため、多大の工数を要し、加工工数が嵩む。
【0010】
さらに、リブ端部は幅の狭い別のパンチ31及びダイ41に成形型を交換し、わずかずつ成形するため、更なる加工工数の増大となる。
【0011】
本発明は、かかる従来技術の課題に鑑み、周辺の平板部と中央のリブ形成部とによりなるリブ付き板材の曲げ成形加工を行なうにあたり、加工時の上、下ロールや押圧力の調整を不要として少ない加工工数で以って、加工時に折れ等の加工欠陥や異常変形による加工ムラの発生の無い高品質の成形品を得ることができる成形加工方法及び装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明はかかる課題を解決するため、請求項1記載の発明として、 所定幅で形成された平板部と、平板上に格子状、縞状等の複数のリブが一定高さで以って形成されたリブ形成部とが連設されてなるリブ付き板材を、上ロールと対を成す2個の下ロールとの間で押圧して前記リブ側が曲げ内周側になるように曲げ成形加工するリブ付き板材の成形加工方法において、
前記上ロールの少なくとも2箇所を他の部位の小径部よりも直径の大きい大径部に形成し、
該大径部と前記下ロールとの間で前記板材の平板部を挾圧するとともに、前記小径部の下側に前記リブを位置せしめて前記板材を曲げ加工し、
更に前記大径部の外径を、該大径部で前記平板部を挾圧したとき、前記小径部とリブの頂面との間に加工前においては微小隙間が形成され、加工の途中で該小径部とリブの頂面とが接触するようにして曲げ加工することを特徴とするリブ付き板材の成形加工方法を提案する。
【0014】
そして、請求項1記載のような曲げ成形加工方法を成立させるには、請求項記載のように、前記大径部の直径を前記上ロールと下ロールとの中心距離(ピッチ)よりも大きくして曲げ加工する。
【0015】
かかる発明において、前記上ロールは曲げ加工対象であるリブ付き板材の構造に対応して大径部及び小径部の形状や配置を決定するが、一般的には、前記リブ付き板材は、図4に示すように、中央部にリブ形成部3があり、該リブ形成部の周囲に平板部2を配した構造であるので、前記上ローラは、その両端部に前記リブ付き板材1の平板部2に当接可能な2つの大径部を配し、該大径部間にこれよりも小径の小径部を配して、該小径部の外周とリブ付き板材のリブ形成部の上端面との間に、加工初期において請求項記載のような微小間隙を形成して加工を行なうのが良い。
【0016】
請求項4記載の発明は、請求項1乃至3記載の発明を実施するための装置に係り、 所定幅で形成された平板部と、平板上に格子状、縞状等の複数のリブが一定高さで以って形成されたリブ形成部とが連設されてなるリブ付き板材を、上ロールと対をなす2個の下ロールとの間で押圧して、前記リブ側が曲げ内周側になるように曲げ成形加工する板材の成形加工装置において、
前記上ロールの少なくとも2箇所を他の部位の小径部よりも直径の大きい大径部に形成され、該大径部が、外周面が前記リブ付き板材の平板部に当接して、該平板部を押圧可能にされたリング部であり、
該リング部と前記下ロールとの間で前記板材の平板部を挾圧するとともに、前記小径部の下側に前記リブを位置せしめて前記板材を曲げ加工するとともに、
更に前記リング部外径を、該大径部で前記平板部を挾圧したとき、前記小径部とリブの頂面との間に加工前においては微小隙間が形成され、曲げ加工の途中で該小径部とリブの頂面とが接触するように、リブ成形部の高さ及び平板部の厚さに応じたリング部外径を設定したことを特徴とする。
【0017】
そして本発明により、上ロールはロール本体部とは別体で製作されたリング部をリブ付き板材の平板部の位置に対応したロール本体の位置に圧挿、固定することによって、種々のサイズのリブ付き板材に適用できる。
【0018】
かかる発明によれば、リブ付き板材の曲げ成形加工の加工初期においては、対をなす下ロールの上にリブ付き板材の平板の底面を乗せ、該リブ付き板材の平板上に上ロールの大径部を当接させた状態で、該上ロールの小径部の外周面と前記リブ付き板材のリブの頂面との間には、図1,2において、t=2mm程度の微小間隙を形成させる。
【0019】
次いで、上ロールを所定の回転数で回転させて、リブ付き板材に送りを加えながら、上ロールと下ロールとを接近させ、該板材に押圧力を付与する。これによって上ロールの大径部と下ロールとの間で、リブ付き板材の平板部を押圧しつつリブ付き板材の曲げ成形が始まる。
【0020】
そして、前記押圧力によるリブ付き板材の曲げ量が一定量に達すると、前記微小間隙が消滅し、小径部の外周面とリブ付き板材のリブ形成部のリブ頂面とが当接し、該リブ形成部は該小径部と下ロールとの間で押圧され、さらに上ロールからの押圧力を増していくと、大径部が平板部を、小径部がリブ形成部を同時に押圧し、大きな押圧力で以ってリブ付き板材を所定の曲率半径にて曲げ成形する。
【0021】
従って、かかる発明によれば、最初に低剛性の平板部のみを上ロールの大径部で下ロールとの間で押圧しておき、曲げが一定量進行してからは、大径部に加えて小径部でリブ形成部を押圧して曲げ成形加工を行なうので、薄肉で低剛性の平板部は、大径部によって常時一定の押圧力で押圧されることとなり、偏荷重や過大荷重の作用が回避され、これに伴なう異常変形及び加工ムラの発生、さらにはこれらによる破損の発生が防止される。
また、大径部で平板部を一定量曲げた後に小径部をリブ形成部に当接させるようにしたので、曲げ加工の当初からリブに曲げ荷重が加わることがなく、過大荷重によるリブの倒れ等の変形が防止される。
これにより、平板部とリブ形成部とが一様に曲げ成形されて、均一な品質のリブ付き板材が得られる。
【0022】
また、上ロールにリブ形成部の高さ及び平板部の厚さに応じたリング状の大径部を形成するのみで、上記加工が可能となるので、加工時における上ロールと下ロールとの関係位置の調整や押圧力の調整等の調整作業は不要となり、作業工数が低減される。
【0023】
また、請求項4記載の発明は、請求項1において、前記対をなす下ロールの一方を、その中心が他方の下ロールよりも下方に位置するように配置して、前記リブ付き板材の加工セット時において、該板材が所定角度傾斜するようにして曲げ加工することを特徴とする。
【0024】
かかる発明によれば、上ロールと対をなす下ロールとの間にリブ付き板材を挟持して上ロールに成形押圧力を付与しての曲げ形成加工時において、対をなす下ロールを傾斜配置することにより、板材の板面も傾斜し、該板材の板面を水平配置する従来技術よりも板材に加わる成形押圧力が低減される。
これにより、平板部の過大押付力による異状変形の発生やリブ形成部に過大押付力が作用することによるリブの倒れの発生が防止される。
【0025】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図に示した実施例を用いて詳細に説明する。但し、この実施例に記載される構成部品の寸法、材質、形状、その相対配置などは特に特定的な記載が無い限り、この発明の範囲をそれのみに限定する趣旨ではなく単なる説明例に過ぎない。
【0026】
図1は本発明の実施形態に係る上ロールによるリブ付き板材の曲げ成形加工時の正面図(図2のA−A矢視図)、図2はリブ付き板材及び成形用上、下ロールの側面配置図、図3は上ロールによるリブ付き板材曲げ成形加工時の要部斜視図である。
【0027】
図1〜図3において、1は被加工品であるリブ付き板材であり、図4に示すように、周辺の平板部2と、中央のリブ形成部3とにより構成されている。20、20は対をなす下ロール、10は上ロールであり、該リブ付き板材1は前記対をなす下ロール20、20と上ロール10との間に挟持され、上ロール10を回転させながら、押圧力を加えることにより、曲げ成形されるようになっている。
【0028】
前記上ロール10は、中央の小径部10bと該小径部10bの両側(外側)に圧挿されたリング10a、10aとによって構成されている。そして、該リング10a、10aにより大径部を構成する。
また、該リング10a、10aは、曲げ成形加工品であるリブ付き板材1の両端に形成される平板部2の位置に合わせて、その固定位置が決定される。
前記上ロール10は、リング10a、10aを、小径部10bが形成されるロール本体10dとは別体に製作し、加工品であるリブ付き板材1における平板部2の位置に対応して、ロール本体10dに圧挿、固定することにより、種々のサイズのリブ付き板材1の加工に適用可能となる。
【0029】
また、前記上ロール10は、リブ付き板材1の曲げ成形前において、該板材1が下ロール20、20上に乗り、リング10a、10aの外周面が該リブ付き板材1の平板部2に当接したとき、小径部10bの外周面とリブ形成部3のリブ頂面3bとの間に微小間隙t(t=2mm程度が好適)が形成されるように、前記リング(大径部)10a、10aの外径D1及び小径部10bの外径D2が設定される。
【0030】
さらに、図2に示すように、前記対をなす下ロール20、20は、リブ付き板材1の加工送り方向Wに対して先行側にあるロール即ちボトムロール20aを後方側にあるロール20bよりも一定量下方に配置し、該リブ付き板材1が、その加工初期において水平線に対して角度αだけ傾斜させる。
前記傾斜角度αは、15〜20°程度が好適であるが、特にこの範囲には限定されず、被加工品であるリブ付き板材1の形状、その他の加工条件により任意に設定可能である。
【0031】
かかる構成からなるリブ付き板材加工成形装置を用いて、リブ付き板材1の曲げ成形加工を行なう際には、対をなす下ロール20、20の上に被加工品であるリブ付き板材1の平板の底面を乗せ、該リブ付き板材1の平板部2上に上ロール10の大径部を構成するリング10a、10aの外周面を当接させた加工初期の状態において、前記対をなす下ロール20、20の配置を図2に示すように、先行側にあるボトルロール20aが後方側のロール20bよりも下方になるように配置し、リブ付き板材1が水平線に対して角度αだけ傾斜するように配置する。該角度αは、前記のように15〜20°が好適である。
【0032】
また、前記のように、前記加工初期の状態において、上ロール10の小径部10bの外周面とリブ付き板材1のリブ形成部3のリブの頂面3bとの間に、図1〜図2に示すように、tなる微小間隙(t=2mm程度が好適)が形成されるようになっている。
【0033】
かかる設定がなされた加工初期の状態から、上ロール10を回転装置(不図示)により所定回転数で回転させてリブ付き板材1に、図2のW矢に示すように送りを加えながら、上ロール10と下ロール20、20とを接近させ、該リブ付き板材1に押圧力を付与する。これにより、上ロール10の大径部であるリング10a、10aと下ロール20、20との間でリブ付き板材1の平板部2を押圧しつつ、該リブ付き板材1の曲げ成形加工が始まる。
【0034】
そして、前記押圧力によるリブ付き板材1の曲げ量が一定量に達すると、前記微小間隙tが消滅して、小径部10bの外周面とリブ付き板材1のリブ形成部3の頂面3bとが当接し、該リブ形成部3は小径部3bと下ロール20、20との間で押圧され、さらに押圧力を増していくと、前記リング10a、10aが平板部2を、小径部10bがリブ形成部3を同時に押圧し、リブ付き板材1は大きな押付力で以って所定の曲率半径にて曲げ成形される。
【0035】
かかる曲げ成形時において、加工当初に低剛性の平板部2のみを上ロール10の大径部であるリング10a、10aと下ロール20、20との間で押圧しておき、曲げが一定量進行してからは、前記リング部10a、10aに加えて、小径部10bでリブ形成部3を押圧して曲げ成形を行なうので、薄肉で低剛性の平板部2はリング10a、10aによって常時一定の押圧力で押圧されることとなり、偏荷重や過大荷重の作用が回避される。これによってリブ付き板材1を異常変形及び加工ムラを生ずることなく、所望の曲率半径Rにて曲げ成形加工できる。
【0036】
また、前記リング10a、10aにより平板部2を一定量曲げた後に、小径部10bをリブ成形部3に当接させるようにしたので、曲げ加工の当初からリブ3aに曲げ荷重が加わることがない。
従って、リブ3aが過大荷重によって倒れ等の変形を生ずることがなく、リブ付き板材1は、一様に曲げ成形される。
【0037】
また、上ロール10に、リブ成形部3の高さ及び平板部2の厚さに応じたリング部10a、10aを設けるのみで上記のような所望の曲げ成形加工が可能となるので、加工時における上ロール10と下ロール20、20との関係位置の調整や押圧力の調整等の調整作業は不要となる。
【0038】
さらに、加工初期において、上ロール10に対する対をなす下ロール20、20との関係位置を、図2のように、リブ付き板材1が角度αにて傾斜するように設定したので、該リブ付き板材1の板面を水平配置している従来技術よりも小さい押付力で以って曲げ成形加工が可能となり、平板部2の過大押圧による変形やリブ形成部に過大押付力が作用して倒れを生ずるのが回避される。
【0039】
【発明の効果】
以上記載のごとく、本発明によれば、最初に低剛性の平板部のみを上ロールの大径部で下ロールとの間で押圧しておき、曲げが一定量進行してからは、大径部に加えて小径部でリブ形成部を押圧して曲げ成形加工を行なうので、薄肉で低剛性の平板部は、大径部によって常時一定の押圧力で押圧されることとなり、偏荷重や過大荷重の作用が回避され、これに伴なう異常変形及び加工ムラの発生、さらにはこれらによる破損の発生が防止される。
また、大径部で平板部を一定量曲げた後に小径部をリブ形成部に当接させるようにしたので、曲げ加工の当初からリブに曲げ荷重が加わることがなく、過大荷重によるリブの倒れ等の変形が防止される。
これにより、平板部とリブ形成部とが一様に曲げ成形されて、加工ムラがなく、折れ等の加工欠陥のない、均一な品質のリブ付き板材が得られる。
【0040】
また、上ロールにリブ形成部の高さ及び平板部の厚さに応じたリング状の大径部を形成するのみで、上記加工が可能となるので、加工時における上ロールと下ロールとの関係位置の調整や押圧力の調整等の調整作業は不要となり、作業工数が低減することができる。
【0041】
また、請求項のように構成すれば、対をなす下ロールを傾斜配置することにより板材の板面も傾斜し、該板材の板面を水平配置する従来技術よりも板材に加わる成形押圧力が低減される。
これにより、平板部の過大押付力による異状変形の発生や、リブ形成部に過大押付力が作用することによるリブの倒れの発生を防止できる。

At least two portions of the upper roll are formed in a large diameter portion having a diameter larger than the small diameter portion of the other portion, and the large diameter portion is in contact with the flat plate portion of the ribbed plate material, and the flat plate portion Is a ring part that can be pressed,
While pressing the flat plate portion of the plate material between the ring portion and the lower roll, bending the plate material by positioning the rib below the small diameter portion,
Further, when the outer diameter of the ring portion is pressed against the flat plate portion with the large diameter portion, a minute gap is formed before processing between the small diameter portion and the top surface of the rib, and the bending portion is in the middle of bending. The outer diameter of the ring portion is set in accordance with the height of the rib forming portion and the thickness of the flat plate portion so that the small diameter portion and the top surface of the rib come into contact with each other.
[0017]
And Ri by the present invention,圧挿the upper roll is a roll main body and the position of the roll body corresponding ring portion fabricated separately in the position of the flat plate portion of the ribbed plate, by fixing, various Applicable to size ribbed plate.
[0018]
According to this invention, in the initial stage of the bending process of the ribbed plate material, the bottom surface of the flat plate of the ribbed plate material is placed on the pair of lower rolls, and the large diameter of the upper roll is placed on the flat plate of the ribbed plate material. 1 and 2, a small gap of about t = 2 mm is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion of the upper roll and the top surface of the rib of the ribbed plate member in a state where the portions are in contact with each other. .
[0019]
Next, the upper roll is rotated at a predetermined number of revolutions, while feeding the ribbed plate material, the upper roll and the lower roll are brought close to each other, and a pressing force is applied to the plate material. Thus, bending of the ribbed plate material starts while pressing the flat plate portion of the ribbed plate material between the large diameter portion of the upper roll and the lower roll.
[0020]
When the bending amount of the ribbed plate material by the pressing force reaches a certain amount, the minute gap disappears, and the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion and the rib top surface of the rib forming portion of the ribbed plate material come into contact with each other. The forming part is pressed between the small diameter part and the lower roll, and when the pressing force from the upper roll is further increased, the large diameter part simultaneously presses the flat plate part and the small diameter part simultaneously presses the rib forming part. The ribbed plate is bent with a predetermined radius of curvature with pressure.
[0021]
Therefore, according to this invention, only the low-rigidity flat plate portion is first pressed between the large diameter portion of the upper roll and the lower roll, and after a certain amount of bending progresses, it is added to the large diameter portion. Therefore, the thin and low-rigidity flat plate part is always pressed with a constant pressing force by the large-diameter part. Is avoided, and the occurrence of abnormal deformation and machining unevenness due to this is prevented, as well as the occurrence of breakage due to these.
In addition, since the flat plate portion is bent by a certain amount at the large diameter portion, the small diameter portion is brought into contact with the rib forming portion, so that no bending load is applied to the rib from the beginning of the bending process, and the rib collapses due to an excessive load. Such deformation is prevented.
Thereby, a flat plate part and a rib formation part are bend-molded uniformly, and the board | plate material with a uniform quality is obtained.
[0022]
In addition, the above-described processing can be performed only by forming a ring-shaped large-diameter portion corresponding to the height of the rib forming portion and the thickness of the flat plate portion on the upper roll, so the upper roll and the lower roll at the time of processing Adjustment work such as adjustment of the related position and adjustment of the pressing force becomes unnecessary, and the number of work steps is reduced.
[0023]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the one of the paired lower rolls is disposed so that the center thereof is located below the other lower roll, and the ribbed plate material is processed. At the time of setting, the plate material is bent so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle.
[0024]
According to this invention, a pair of lower rolls are inclinedly arranged at the time of bending forming processing by sandwiching a ribbed plate material between the upper roll and a lower roll that forms a pair and applying a molding pressing force to the upper roll. By doing so, the plate surface of the plate material is also inclined, and the molding pressing force applied to the plate material is reduced as compared with the prior art in which the plate surface of the plate material is horizontally arranged.
This prevents the occurrence of abnormal deformation due to the excessive pressing force of the flat plate portion and the occurrence of rib collapse due to the excessive pressing force acting on the rib forming portion.

The ribbed plate 1 is sandwiched between the pair of lower rolls 20 and 20 and the upper roll 10 while rotating the upper roll 10. By applying a pressing force, bending molding is performed.
[0028]
The upper roll 10 includes a central small diameter portion 10b and rings 10a and 10a press-fitted on both sides (outside) of the small diameter portion 10b. The rings 10a and 10a constitute a large diameter portion.
Further, the fixing positions of the rings 10a and 10a are determined in accordance with the positions of the flat plate portions 2 formed at both ends of the ribbed plate 1 which is a bending molded product.
The upper roll 10 is manufactured by separately manufacturing the rings 10a and 10a separately from the roll body 10d in which the small-diameter portion 10b is formed, corresponding to the position of the flat plate portion 2 in the ribbed plate 1 which is a processed product. By press-fitting and fixing to the main body 10d, it can be applied to processing the ribbed plate material 1 of various sizes.
[0029]
Further, the upper roll 10 has the plate 1 placed on the lower rolls 20 and 20 before the ribbed plate 1 is bent, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the rings 10a and 10a contact the flat plate portion 2 of the ribbed plate 1. When in contact, the ring (large diameter portion) 10a is formed such that a minute gap t (preferably about t = 2 mm) is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 10b and the rib top surface 3b of the rib forming portion 3. , the outer diameter D 2 of the outer diameter D 1 and the small diameter portion 10b of 10a is set.
[0030]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower rolls 20, 20 that form the pair are configured such that the roll on the leading side with respect to the processing feed direction W of the ribbed plate member 1, that is, the bottom roll 20 a is more than the roll 20 b on the rear side. It arrange | positions a fixed amount downward, and this board | plate material 1 with a rib inclines only the angle (alpha) with respect to a horizontal line in the process initial stage.
The inclination angle α is preferably about 15 to 20 °, but is not particularly limited to this range, and can be arbitrarily set depending on the shape of the ribbed plate 1 that is a workpiece and other processing conditions.
[0031]
When the ribbed plate material 1 is bent using the ribbed plate material processing and molding apparatus having such a configuration, the flat plate of the ribbed plate material 1 which is a workpiece is formed on the pair of lower rolls 20 and 20. , And the pair of lower rolls in the initial stage of processing in which the outer peripheral surfaces of the rings 10a and 10a constituting the large diameter portion of the upper roll 10 are brought into contact with the flat plate portion 2 of the ribbed plate 1 As shown in FIG. 2, the bottle roll 20a on the leading side is disposed below the roll 20b on the rear side, and the ribbed plate 1 is inclined at an angle α with respect to the horizontal line. Arrange as follows. As described above, the angle α is preferably 15 to 20 °.
[0032]
In addition, as described above, in the initial stage of processing, between the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 10b of the upper roll 10 and the top surface 3b of the rib of the rib forming portion 3 of the ribbed plate member 1, FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, a minute gap t (preferably about t = 2 mm) is formed.
[0033]
While the upper roll 10 is rotated at a predetermined number of rotations by a rotating device (not shown) from the initial state of the processing in which such setting has been made, while feeding the ribbed plate 1 as shown by the arrow W in FIG. The roll 10 and the lower rolls 20 and 20 are brought close to each other, and a pressing force is applied to the ribbed plate 1. Thereby, the bending process of the ribbed plate material 1 starts while pressing the flat plate portion 2 of the ribbed plate material 1 between the rings 10a and 10a, which are large diameter portions of the upper roll 10, and the lower rolls 20 and 20. .
[0034]
When the bending amount of the ribbed plate material 1 due to the pressing force reaches a certain amount, the minute gap t disappears, and the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 10b and the top surface 3b of the rib forming portion 3 of the ribbed plate material 1 The rib forming portion 3 is pressed between the small diameter portion 3b and the lower rolls 20 and 20, and when the pressing force is further increased, the rings 10a and 10a become the flat plate portion 2, and the small diameter portion 10b becomes the small diameter portion 10b. The rib forming part 3 is pressed at the same time, and the ribbed plate 1 is bent and formed with a predetermined radius of curvature with a large pressing force.

At the time of bending, only the low-rigidity flat plate portion 2 is pressed between the rings 10a and 10a, which are large-diameter portions of the upper roll 10, and the lower rolls 20 and 20 at the beginning of processing, and the bending proceeds by a certain amount. After that, since the rib forming portion 3 is pressed by the small diameter portion 10b in addition to the ring portions 10a and 10a, the thin flat plate portion 2 having a low rigidity is always fixed by the rings 10a and 10a. It will be pressed by the pressing force, and the effect of an offset load or an excessive load will be avoided. As a result, the ribbed plate 1 can be bent and formed with a desired radius of curvature R without causing abnormal deformation and uneven machining.
[0036]
Further, since the flat plate portion 2 is bent by a certain amount by the rings 10a and 10a, the small diameter portion 10b is brought into contact with the rib forming portion 3, so that no bending load is applied to the rib 3a from the beginning of the bending process. .
Therefore, the rib 3a is not deformed such as falling due to an excessive load, and the ribbed plate 1 is uniformly bent.
[0037]
Further, since the upper roll 10 is provided with the ring portions 10a and 10a corresponding to the height of the rib forming portion 3 and the thickness of the flat plate portion 2, the desired bending forming as described above can be performed. Adjustment work such as adjustment of the relationship between the upper roll 10 and the lower rolls 20 and 20 and adjustment of the pressing force is not required.
[0038]
Further, at the initial stage of processing, since the relative positions of the paired lower rolls 20 and 20 with respect to the upper roll 10 are set so that the ribbed plate material 1 is inclined at an angle α as shown in FIG. Bending and forming can be performed with a pressing force smaller than that of the prior art in which the plate surface of the plate 1 is horizontally arranged, and the plate portion 2 is deformed due to excessive pressing or the excessive pressing force acts on the rib forming portion and falls down. Is avoided.
