Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal processing equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic pre-bending mechanism for large-size round steel bars. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing round steel pre-bending devices have three wheels arranged in a triangle. The round steel passes through the gaps between the three wheels, and by adjusting the relative positions of the wheels, the round steel is bent into a certain arc. The drive method is mostly single-motor driven. One type has only one fixed-position driving wheel and two adjustable-position driven wheels, but these are not powered. Another structure uses gear transmission to power two pressure rollers, but these are also fixed-position, with only one adjustable-position driven wheel. Adjustment is always done manually, which is cumbersome.
[0003] The structure has only one driving wheel in a fixed position. Because all three pressure rollers are smooth, they are prone to slippage. Relative movement occurs between the rollers and the round steel, and prolonged friction can easily damage the rollers and the round steel. The driven wheel is manually adjusted, and the arc size cannot be adjusted arbitrarily during operation.
[0004] There is a structure with two power wheels in fixed positions. Since only one of the three pressure wheels can be adjusted, multiple adjustments are required to obtain the desired arc. Moreover, manual adjustment is time-consuming and laborious, and the size of the arc cannot be adjusted arbitrarily during operation.
[0005] A utility model patent with publication number CN208583925U discloses a rebar pre-bending device, belonging to the field of building engineering technology. It includes a support frame for supporting the entire device. One end of the top of the support frame is provided with a pressure rod for applying force to the end of the pre-bent rebar, and the other end is provided with a bracket for supporting the rebar during pre-bending. The pressure rod is movably connected to the support frame. The middle of the support frame is provided with an adjusting rod for adjusting the pre-bending length of the rebar. The adjusting rod is located above the pre-bent rebar, and both ends of the adjusting rod are movably connected to the support frame. The middle of the support frame in the width direction is provided with a gap for the rebar to pass through.
[0006] The above technical solution provides a rebar pre-bending device. The rebar to be pre-bent is inserted into the gap in the middle of a support frame, and the portion to be pre-bent is overlapped onto a pressure bar located at one end of the support frame. Pressing down the pressure bar utilizes the lever principle to lift the end of the rebar. The contact point between the rebar and the adjusting rod in the middle of the support frame is the bending point of the rebar pre-bending. The pre-bending length can be adjusted by moving the adjusting rod. However, it cannot precisely and controllably complete the pre-bending work for round steel with a diameter of 40mm or more. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with embodiments.
[0028] See appendix Figure 1-6An automatic pre-bending mechanism for large-size round steel bars includes a support 1 and a fixed frame 2 rotatably connected to the support 1. The fixed frame 2 is provided with a feeding part 3, a pre-bending part 4, and a protective part 5. The support 1 is provided with a winding part 6. The pre-bending part 4 includes a pre-bending frame 7 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2. The pre-bending frame 7 is rotatably connected with a fixed wheel 27. Two moving blocks 8 are slidably connected to the pre-bending frame 7. Each of the two moving blocks 8 is rotatably connected with a drive wheel 9. Both drive wheels 9 are driven by a servo motor 10. A lead screw 11 is provided on the moving blocks 8. Two adjusting motors 12 are provided on the pre-bending frame 7. The output end of the adjusting motor 12 is connected to the lead screw 11 through a commutator 13.
[0029] The fixed frame 2 is provided with a bearing seat 14, and the bracket 1 is provided with a rotating bearing 15. The fixed frame 2 and the bracket 1 are rotatably connected by the bearing. The fixed frame 2 is provided with a pin 16, and the bracket 1 is provided with several insertion holes 17. The servo motor 10 is connected to the drive wheel 9 through a planetary reducer 18.
[0030] When this device is in use, the bracket 1 is fixed on the ground, the rotating bearing 15 is fixed on the bracket 1 with screws, the bearing seat 14 is fixed on the rotating bearing 15 with screws, the fixing frame 2 is fixed on the bearing seat 14 with screws, the fixing frame 2 can rotate freely, and the positioning pin 16 fixes the fixing frame 2 in the designated position.
[0031] The pre-bending section 4 is connected to the pre-bending frame 7 and the fixed frame 2 by screws. The fixed wheel 27 is fixed to the pre-bending frame 7 by screws. The drive wheel 9 is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 10 by screws and keys. The other end of the output shaft of the servo motor 10 is equipped with a sealed bearing and fixed by an R-type radial locking nut. The whole assembly is installed in the moving block 8 and fixed in the moving block 8 by the bearing cover, spacer, and planetary reducer 18. The servo motor 10 and the planetary reducer 18 are directly connected, and the output shaft of the planetary reducer 18 and the servo motor 10 are directly connected. The servo motor 10 is controlled by the EtherCat bus to ensure synchronous speed. Moreover, the servo motor 10 maintains high torque even at low speeds, ensuring sufficient power even at low speeds when operating large-diameter round steel. The servo motor 10 and the planetary reducer 18 are directly connected together and fixed to the pre-bending frame 7 of the lifting platform. By inputting the data of the desired pre-bending angle, the positions of the two drive wheels 9 can be adjusted online electrically to obtain the desired arc, and the positions of the two drive wheels 9 are self-locked to ensure their stability. The servo motor 10 has a positioning function. If you want to get the same arc next time, you can adjust it to the correct position in one go, saving time and effort.
[0032] In this way, the machine can be stopped and adjusted at any time, and the same round steel bar can be divided into different lengths, thereby enabling the same round steel bar to be pre-bent into steel with different curvatures at different distances.
[0033] By using the rotating bearing 15 between the bracket 1 and the fixed frame 2, the entire fixed frame 2 can be rotated after a steel bar is pre-bent, so that it will not interfere with the handling and transportation of the pre-bent steel bar.

The winding section 6 includes a winding motor 22 and a gear set 23 mounted on the bracket 1, with a winding reel 24 connected above the gear set 23, a winding frame 25 mounted on the winding reel 24, and a vertical plate 26 detachably connected to the winding frame 25.
[0035] During feeding, this device can clean impurities and burrs on the surface of the steel. During discharge, it can ensure that the steel is discharged in the desired direction, thereby controlling the running path of the steel after deformation. The coiler 24 can coil the steel, and the arc plate can prevent the steel from injuring people due to its own elasticity.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The pre-bending section is screwed onto the pre-bending frame and the fixed frame. The fixed wheel is fixed to the pre-bending frame with screws. The drive wheel is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the servo motor with screws and keys. The other end of the output shaft of the servo motor is equipped with a sealed bearing and fixed with an R-type radial locking nut. The whole assembly is installed in the moving block and fixed in the moving block by the bearing cover, spacer, and planetary reducer. The servo motor and the planetary reducer are directly connected, and the output shaft of the planetary reducer and the servo motor are directly connected. The servo motor is controlled via EtherCat bus to ensure synchronized speed. Moreover, the servo motor maintains high torque even at low speeds, ensuring sufficient power even at low speeds when operating large-diameter round steel. The servo motor and the planetary reducer are directly connected together and fixed to the pre-bending frame of the lifting platform. By inputting the data of the desired pre-bending angle, the positions of the two drive wheels can be electrically adjusted online to obtain the desired arc, and the self-locking mechanism ensures the position of the two drive wheels. The servo motor has a positioning function. For the same specifications and materials, the same arc can be adjusted in one go to obtain the same position next time, saving time and effort.
