Lateral bending forming tool for guide arm

Abstract

The invention discloses a lateral bending forming tool for a guide arm and relates to the field of manufacturing of guide arms of air suspensions. The tool comprises a tool table, a clamping mechanism, a rotating mechanism and a leaning mechanism, wherein the clamping mechanism is fixed to the tool table for clamping the guide arm; the rotating mechanism is rotatably fixed to the tool table; and the leaning mechanism is fixed to the rotating mechanism; and after the clamping mechanism clamps one end of the guide arm, the rotating mechanism rotates to drive the leaning mechanism acted to the other end of the guide arm to laterally bend and form the guide arm. By way of clamping and bending and forming successively, the dimensional stability of the formed guide arm is improved. As the guidearm is invariable before and after being formed, compared with the prior art, multi-time overturning actions of the guide arm are reduced, and the work efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air suspension guide arm manufacturing, in particular to a guide arm side bending forming tooling structure. Background technique [0002] Air suspension is an important part of commercial vehicles. Air suspension uses air spring as elastic element, which has the advantages of adjustable load capacity, stiffness changes with load, and low natural frequency. The guide arm plays the role of carrying and guiding in the air suspension. Due to the layout of the vehicle chassis, the center distance of the guide arm is inconsistent with the center distance of the air spring. The guide arm needs to be bent laterally structurally, and the air spring is installed on the bent part. [0003] In order to meet the requirements of performance and precision, most of them are heated first and then bent and formed by a hydraulic press. However, the current bending machine has a complicated process, which makes it necessary to adjust...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to meet the requirements of performance and precision, heating is used first and then bending is done by hydraulic press. However, the current bending forming machine has complicated procedures, which makes it necessary to adjust the guide arm many times and turn it over when bending the guide arm, which not only strengthens the labor force. The work intensity of the operator increases the labor cost, and seriously affects the processing efficiency of the guide arm, which cannot meet the high-quality and high-efficiency needs of the enterprise.
