Abstract

There is disclosed a hydraulic circuit of a press for the hydromechanical drawing of pressings or workpieces in a pressure chamber forming the drawing die which includes at least two spaces for the fluid separated from each other by at least one piston transmitter. At least one of the spaces for the fluid in the pressure chamber separated from the pressure fluid for the forming of the pressing by the piston transmitter is connected by means of a connection branch with a controlled throttle valve with the hydraulic unit of the main working cylinder of the press which drives the drawing punch of the press. To the space for the fluid in the pressure chamber, which is separated by the piston transmitter from the pressure fluid for forming the pressing, is connected a filling branch with a return valve incorporated by means of a hydraulic distributor in the circuit of a hydrogenerator for driving the main working cylinder of the press. The controlled throttle valve is incorporated in a feedback circuit including an auxiliary hydrogenerator as a reference source of pressure fluid for the piston of the controlled throttle valve.

Dependent claims

In the combination of a hydromechanical press for the drawing of a workpiece made of material in sheet form, the press having a body providing a fluid pressure chamber with a first space therein including a first cylinder, said first space receiving a first fluid which forms an external drawing die, the pressure chamber also having a second space therein including a second cylinder, said second space receiving a second fluid, a force transmitter separating the first and second spaces and having connected first and second pistons sealingly engaging and reciprocable in the said first and second cylinders, respectively, the press having a third, main working cylinder spaced from said body and having a working pressure side, a piston reciprocable in the main working cylinder and provided with a piston rod movable toward away from the first space in the body, a drawing punch mounted on the outer end of the piston rod for drawing a sheet workpiece in cooperation with the fluid in the first space in the body, and a source of fluid pressure selectively connectible with the pressure side of the main working cylinder to thrust the drawing punch toward the first space in the body and a sheet workpiece into said first space, whereby the improvement which comprises a conduit connecting the working pressure side of the main working cylinder to the second space in the fluid pressure chamber, and a first, controlled throttle valve interposed in said conduit.
