[0002] Under the background of energy saving and environmental protection, vehicle body lightweight trend, the social demand and application range of ultra-high strength steel pipe beam parts are continuously increasing. The online bending process of the cold bending forming line is an important part of the pipe beam bending production process, and is always the preferred process for pipe beam production. With the wide application of high-strength steel and the continuous improvement of strength, the thickness of the material used for cold bending forming is getting thinner and thinner, which is also an important method of lightweight.
[0003] However, the thinner the pipe beam material, the more difficult it is to control the appearance quality such as inner arc fold and the worse the forming quality during bending forming. In order to control the inner arc fold, the existing process is to increase the contact area and contact force between the bending die and the workpiece, which not only greatly increases the forming resistance, but also causes problems such as surface scratching of the workpiece and rapid wear of the bending die.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Referring to Figs. 1-2 The pipe beam bending forming device of the rolling body structure of the present application comprises, in order along the feeding direction, straight pipe beam guide support wheels 1, guide roller supports 3 provided with a plurality of guide rollers 2, a main body of rolling body structure 4, a discharge guide wheel 5, and a forming control wheel 6. The straight pipe beam guide support wheels 1 are provided in three groups at intervals along the feeding direction. The main body of rolling body structure 4 is arranged above the guide roller support 3 and the discharge guide wheel 5. The pipe beam 7 is fed into the space between the main body of rolling body structure 4 and the guide rollers 2 from the straight pipe beam guide support wheels 1 along the feeding direction, is guided out through the discharge guide wheel 5, and is bent and formed through the forming control wheel 6. The main body of rolling body structure 4 is provided in the shape of a long circle and is connected to the first drive motor 8 and the second drive motor 9 through transmission shafts at both ends, respectively, to provide rotating power for the main body of rolling body structure.
[0027] Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5The rolling body structure main body 4 includes a fixed outer frame 4-1, a structure core 4-2, transmission gears 4-3 and roller bodies 4-4. The end face of the fixed outer frame 4-1 and the end face of the structure core 4-2 are both set as similar long circles, both including a straight section and an arc section. The transmission gears 4-3 are provided with four identical gears, which are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear end faces of the structure core 4-2. Two gears are arranged side by side on each end face. The arc sections on the left and right sides of the structure core 4-2 are respectively arranged with the same center as the two transmission gears 4-3 on the same end face. The two transmission gears 4-3 on the front and rear end faces of the same side are coaxially connected through a transmission shaft 4-5, and the gears have the same tooth position. The roller bodies 4-4 are provided in a cylindrical shape, and the diameters D1 of the two ends are greater than the diameter D2 of the middle section, which can greatly reduce the contact range between the rolling bodies, effectively reduce the internal friction and prevent the rolling bodies from being stuck. The length of the middle section is greater than the length of the two end sections, and the length of the middle section matches the cross-sectional width of the pipe beam 7, thereby providing support when the pipe beam is bent into an arc. The roller bodies 4-4 are provided with several roller bodies, which are arranged transversely along the periphery of the structure core 4-2. The two ends of the roller bodies 4-4 are arranged on the gear teeth on the two end transmission gears, respectively. Each gear tooth is provided in an arc shape, and the arc degree matches the arc degree of the D1 diameter of the roller body 4-4. The two ends of the roller body 4-4 are placed in the gear teeth in a half-wrapped state. The front and rear edges on the roller surface of the structure core 4-2 are respectively provided with a sunken first long circular raceway 4-21. The outer circular surface of the two ends of the roller body 4-4 with a diameter of D1 is in contact with the bottom surface of the first long circular raceway 4-21. The two ends of the roller body roll on the gear teeth and the first long circular raceway. The middle position of the roller surface of the structure core 4-2 is a raised plane 4-22. The width of the raised plane 4-22 is the same as the length of the middle section of the roller body 4-4. The middle section of the roller body 4-4 is pressed on the raised plane.
[0028] The fixed outer frame 4-1 is provided with two fixed outer frames 4-1, which are symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the transmission gears 4-3. The side of the fixed outer frame 4-1 facing the transmission gears 4-3 is provided with an inner recessed second long circular raceway 4-11. The end of the transmission gear 4-3 and the roller body 4-4 are located in the second long circular raceway 4-11. The shape of the second long circular raceway 4-11 is the circular rolling track of the roller body 4-4 in the second long circular raceway, that is, Fig. 6The long circular rolling track is composed of two straight line segments, two R1 circular arcs, two R2 circular arcs, and the connecting parts are tangent. To improve the interchangeability of structural components, the track is designed to be symmetrical about the connecting line of the two straight line segments. The R1 segment circular arc track is used for the circulation of the roller body and does not directly participate in the bending forming of the pipe beam; the R2 segment circular arc track is used for the circulation of the roller body and directly participates in the bending forming of the pipe beam. When the pipe beam is bent, the inner arc surface wraps around this area, and the required roll arc radius is realized by controlling the wrapping range size by the forming control wheel 6. Therefore, the limit forming radius of the pipe beam that can be realized by the device is determined by the value of R2, that is, R2 needs to be designed according to the limit arc radius requirement, and R1 only needs to be able to meet the circulation of the roller body. Generally, R1 < R2, so the R1 / R2 segmented design of the track can minimize the overall size of the device, making the device structure more compact and the cost lower. The maximum radius (addendum radius) of the transmission gear 4-3 is smaller than the radius of the arc segment of the second long circular raceway 4-11, and there is a certain gap between the outer wall of the second long circular raceway and the outer circular surface of the end of the roller body 4-4. One end of the two transmission shafts 4-5 passes through the fixed outer frame 4-1 and is connected with the first driving motor 8 and the second driving motor 9 respectively to provide power for the transmission gear.
[0029] Referring to Fig. 4 , two trapezoidal positioning blocks 4-23 are arranged at the middle positions of the two end faces of the structural core 4-2, the trapezoidal positioning blocks 4-23 are arranged between the two transmission gears 4-3 on the same end face, and the fixed outer frame 4-1 is clamped on the trapezoidal positioning blocks 4-23.
[0030] A key groove is arranged on the hole face of the middle connecting hole of the transmission gear 4-3, and a protruding flat key is arranged on the transmission shaft 4-5, and the size of the flat key matches the size of the key groove.
[0031] The device further comprises a core fixing rod 10, the front end of which is fixed at the non-closed part of the pipe beam 7, and the tail end is connected with a core (not shown), and the core is located on the straight line segment part tangent to the arc segment of the pipe beam.
[0032] When the pipe beam is bent into an arc, as the roller line continuously pushes the pipe beam forward, the first driving motor 8 and the second driving motor 9 match the pipe beam forward speed to drive the roller body 4-4 to rotate around the structural core 4-2, thereby realizing continuous bending forming of the pipe beam.
