    摘要: A method of forming an elongated box shape tubular frame member from a round tube includes the steps of: providing a lower die member having a cavity submerged substantially below the top surface of the lower die and having a cavity width equal to the width of the desired box shape frame member and less than the diameter of the tube. The lower die has an entry opening which opens to the top surface of the die and is defined by angularly disposed funnel walls which converge to intersect with the cavity. The round tubular blank is placed onto the lower die so that the blank rests on the angularly disposed funnel walls above the cavity. The upper die is lowered onto the lower die and has a lid wall which forces the tubular blank downwardly into the cavity while the angularly disposed funnel walls guide the blank to collapse in a manner preventing pinching of the blank between the upper and lower dies. The application of internal hydraulic pressure then expands the collapsed tube outwardly to the shape defined by the cavity of the lower die and the lid wall of the upper die.

    摘要: A seal device for a hydroforming press includes a housing having a bore and a seal carrier slidable within the housing bore. The seal carrier has a bore which fits closely outside of the end of tube to be hydroformed. A V-shaped locator rigidly mounted relative to the housing aligns the end of the tube placed thereon with the carrier bore. A carrier actuator is operable to move the seal carrier between a retracted position away from the end of the tube to an extended position over the end of the tube. A resilient elastomeric annular seal carried by the seal carrier encircles the outer surface of the tube. A seal actuator carried on the seal carrier compresses the seal upon relative movement between the seal actuator and the seal carrier. A stop is engaged by the seal actuator as the seal carrier approaches the extended position so that subsequent further movement of the seal carrier compresses the seal against the tube. The locator and a tube backup fixed to an upper bed of the press encircle the tube when the press is closed, reacting against the tube when it is pressurized. A travel limit block provides a reaction member against which the locator reacts to prevent relative movement between the seal device and the press during forming.
