Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bending equipment, and particularly relates to a bending positioning device. Background Art

[0002] Existing bending mechanisms all position the product physically, such as positioning by holes or edges. This patent uses hole positioning as an example, but is not limited to hole positioning. Due to the tolerance of the product hole diameter and the need to ensure smooth assembly during the process of placing the product on the positioning pin, there needs to be a certain gap between the positioning pin and the product. Theoretically, we need the center of the product hole to be concentric with the positioning pin. In fact, this concentricity cannot be guaranteed through pin-hole positioning. Due to the tolerance of the product hole diameter, the machining accuracy tolerance of the mold and fixture, and the assembly gap that needs to be reserved, there will be some position offsets in the product pin-hole positioning, resulting in inaccurate bending positions of the product and low machining accuracy of the product. Summary of the Invention

The workpiece is located between the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism, and the workpiece is sleeved on the positioning pin. The vision recognition system is electrically connected to the bending mechanism, the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism respectively.

[0006] The beneficial effect of the present invention is:

[0007] By setting the positioning pin, the first alignment mechanism, the second alignment mechanism and the vision recognition system, before the workpiece is bent, the workpiece can be positioned through the mutual cooperation of the vision recognition system, the positioning pin, the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism, so that the bending of the workpiece can be more accurate and the machining accuracy of the product can be improved.

The workpiece is located between the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism, and the workpiece is sleeved on the positioning pin. The visual recognition system is electrically connected to the bending mechanism, the first alignment mechanism and the second alignment mechanism respectively.

[0024] It can be seen from the above description that the beneficial effect of the present invention is that:

[0025] By setting positioning pins, a first alignment mechanism, a second alignment mechanism, and a vision recognition system, before the workpiece is bent, the workpiece can be positioned through the mutual cooperation of the vision recognition system, positioning pins, the first alignment mechanism, and the second alignment mechanism, so that the workpiece can be more accurate when bent, improving the processing accuracy of the product.

[0059] The vision recognition system includes a controller and a photographing device. The photographing device uses a CCD camera. The structure of the vision recognition system can refer to the patent with the application number "CN201720389305.5" and the patent name "Vision Recognition System".

[0060] The working principle of the above-mentioned bending alignment equipment is as follows:

[0061] During processing, the workpiece 6 is placed on the surface of the workbench 2, and the two positioning holes of the workpiece 6 are inserted into the two groups of positioning pins 3. Then, through the CCD camera above the surface of the workbench 2 and the controller electrically connected thereto, the first positioning mechanism 4 and the second positioning mechanism are controlled to work to accurately position the workpiece 6, so as to ensure the accuracy during processing.

[0062] Its alignment process is as follows: Place the workpiece 6 on the workbench 2, then start the third hydraulic cylinder 52 to make the third pressing plate 53 abut against the edge of the workpiece 6, and then fix one side of the workpiece 6 through the fastener 533 to complete the installation of the workpiece 6; then the alignment CCD camera records the positioning holes and the positioning pins 3 in real time, and then transmits the information to the controller. Then the controller first controls the first hydraulic cylinder 413 and the second hydraulic cylinder to respectively push the first connecting rod 412 and the second connecting rod 422 to slide, so that the first pressing plate 411 and the second pressing plate 421 clamp and fix the workpiece 6. Then, the controller judges the left - right deviation degree between the positioning hole and the positioning pin 3 through the CCD camera. When there is a left - right deviation, the controller controls the driving motor 24 to rotate forward and backward reciprocally, so that the screw rod 21 drives the first slider 22 and the second slider 23 to slide back and forth, and further enables the first pressing plate 411 and the second pressing plate 421 to push the workpiece 6 to move left and right, completing the alignment of the left - right deviation degree of the workpiece 6;

[0063] When the front and rear positions of the workpiece 6 are offset, the third hydraulic cylinder 52 is activated. The third hydraulic cylinder 52 pushes the third pressing plate 53 to move back and forth, thereby driving the workpiece 6 to reciprocate back and forth, completing the alignment of the front and rear offset degrees of the workpiece 6, and ensuring the accuracy of the installation of the workpiece 6.

[0064] After the alignment of the workpiece 6 is completed, the pressing block in the bending mechanism 1 above the workbench 2 is lowered to press one end of the workpiece 6 for further fixation, and then the punch in the bending mechanism 1 is used to perform bending processing on the workpiece 6.

[0065] In summary, a bending positioning device provided by the present invention, through the setting of positioning pins, a first alignment mechanism, a second alignment mechanism, and a visual recognition system, enables the workpiece to be positioned through the mutual cooperation of the visual recognition system, positioning pins, the first alignment mechanism, and the second alignment mechanism before bending processing, so that the workpiece can be more accurate when bent, and the processing accuracy of the product is improved.

[0066] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. All equivalent transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, are equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
