Description

A bidirectional bending machine Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sheet metal processing equipment, and in particular relates to a bidirectional bending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most bending machines on the market are currently single-station models, capable of only simple secondary bending. For complex multi-fold or long strip shapes, manual operation is still required, resulting in low efficiency. For certain special shapes, complex bending dies need to be custom-made. The design and manufacturing cycle of these dies is long, which is unfavorable for the production needs of multiple varieties in small batches. Existing single-station bending machines can only complete simple secondary bending, and most are mechanically driven, which is limited by the fatigue performance and rigidity of the transmission components, making their operation relatively cumbersome and difficult to achieve high-speed, high-frequency bending operations. This not only increases construction and operating costs but also affects production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] A bending unit 10, as shown in Figure 1, comprises a clamping arm 1, a lower clamp seat 2, a clamping cylinder 3, a jaw assembly 4, and a bending flap assembly 5. The clamping arm 1 is hinged to the lower clamp seat 2 via a double coaxial eccentric device 6, which acts as a fulcrum. Both the clamping arm 1 and the lower clamp seat 2 are provided with hinge supports located at the bottom of the bending unit 10. The two ends of the clamping cylinder 3 are respectively hinged to the clamping arm 1 and the lower clamp seat 2. The lower clamp seat 2 is provided with a first synchronous shaft 201, which is hinged to a torsion arm 202. One end of the torsion arm 202 is also hinged to the hinge support of the clamping arm 1 via a connecting rod. As shown in Figure 2, the clamping cylinder 3 drives the clamping arm 1 to rotate and, in conjunction with the fulcrum, realizes the clamping and releasing movements of the clamping arm 1. Simultaneously, the driving force is synchronously transmitted to the first synchronous shaft 201 through the torsion arm 202. The jaw assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw arm 1 and the lower jaw seat 2. It moves with the clamping jaw arm 1 to clamp the plate 11 to be bent. The bending flip plate assembly 5 is connected to the clamping jaw arm 1 and the lower jaw seat 2 respectively through the sliding connecting rod 504 to realize the bending movement.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the dual coaxial eccentric device 6 includes an eccentric shaft 601, an eccentric sleeve 602, a torque arm 603, and an adjusting cylinder 604. The dual coaxial eccentric device 6 is formed by coaxially connecting the eccentric sleeves 602 distributed on both sides of the eccentric shaft 601. The eccentric sleeves 602 are mounted on the eccentric shaft 601, specifically with their inner holes hinged to both ends of the eccentric shaft 601. The central axis of the eccentric shaft 601 is hinged to the two eccentric sleeves 602 on both sides. The outer ring of the eccentric sleeves 602 is covered with locking grooves, allowing them to be locked with locking pins after adjustment. The outer circles of the eccentric sleeves 602 are hinged to both sides of the lower clamp seat 2, and the inner hole of the clamping arm 1 is hinged to the eccentric shaft 601. One end of the eccentric shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the torque arm 603, and the other end of the torque arm 603 is hinged to the adjusting cylinder 604. At the same time, the adjusting cylinder 604 is also hinged to the lower clamp seat 2 to form a fixed support. The outer circle of the eccentric sleeve 602 is provided with an adjusting scale. The eccentric sleeve 602 can be rotated within a certain range by using a special tool. By adjusting the eccentric sleeve 602, a slight horizontal movement of the clamping arm 1 can be achieved. Similarly, the horizontal movement of the clamping arm 1 can be achieved by controlling the adjusting cylinder 604.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the jaw assembly 4 is divided into an upper jaw plate 401 and a lower jaw plate 402, and the bending flip plate assembly 5 is divided into an upper flip plate 501 and a lower flip plate 502. As shown in Figure 5, the upper jaw plate 401 is fixed to the clamping jaw arm 1, and the lower jaw plate 402 is fixed to the lower jaw seat 2. Replaceable jaw plates are installed at the ends of the upper jaw plate 401 and the lower jaw plate 402. The replaceable jaw plates directly contact and clamp the plate 11 to be bent. The replaceable jaw plates can be replaced according to the specific plate type, realizing multi-purpose use of one machine. The upper jaw plate 401 and the lower jaw plate 402 are arranged facing each other to form jaws. The upper jaw plate 401 swings with the clamping jaw arm 1 around the double coaxial eccentric device 6, so that the upper jaw plate 401 and the lower jaw plate 402 clamp the plate 11 to be bent. The upper flip plate 501 is connected to the clamping arm 1 via a sliding connecting rod 504, and the lower flip plate 502 is connected to the lower clamp seat 2 via a sliding connecting rod 504. The upper flip plate 501 and the lower flip plate 502 are arranged facing each other. The upper flip plate 501 and the lower flip plate 502 can rotate around the tips of the upper jaw plate 401 and the lower jaw plate 402 respectively via the sliding connecting rod 504 to realize the flip plate bending movement. The upper flip plate 501 and the lower flip plate 502 can move back and forth independently. The sliding connecting rod 504 is installed on the clamping arm 1 and the lower clamp seat 2 via a slide rail 905. As shown in Figure 6, the sliding connecting rod 504 is also connected to a hydraulic cylinder to realize the back and forth sliding of the sliding connecting rod 504. A reinforcing plate 503 is installed on the outer side of the upper flip plate 501 and the lower flip plate 502 for bending the thick plate to be bent 11. The bending action is as follows: the upper flip plate 501 retracts and the lower flip plate 502 extends to achieve the upward bending of the plate to be bent 11; the upper flip plate 501 extends and the lower flip plate 502 retracts to achieve the downward bending of the plate to be bent 11.

[0046] A bidirectional bending machine includes a bending unit 10 as described above, specifically including a cutting device 7, a base frame 8, and a sheet positioning and clamping device 9, as shown in Figures 7-9. Several bending units 10 are mounted parallel to each other on the base frame 8. Bending flip plates, a double coaxial eccentric device 6, and a first synchronous shaft 201 rigidly connect the bending units 10 together. The first synchronous shaft 201 connects multiple bending units 10, enabling their clamping arms 1 to move synchronously. The main shafts of the sliding connecting rods 504 of each bending unit 10 are also connected in series, achieving synchronous bending motion of the bending flip plate groups 5 of each bending unit 10. Furthermore, the main shafts of the adjusting cylinders 604 of each bending unit 10 are also connected in series, used to achieve horizontal alignment of the clamping arms 1 of each bending unit 10. Ultimately, the synchronous operation of each bending unit 10 improves the bending accuracy of the sheet 11 to be bent. Several sheet metal positioning and clamping devices 9 are located between each bending unit 10 and are used to clamp and transport the sheet metal to be bent 11 to the bending working area; the cutting device 7 is installed on the lower flip plate 502 via the slide rail 905 and is used to roll cut the sheet metal, including the bent sheet metal, and can also cut the sheet metal into strips separately.

[0047] Optionally, a stop (not shown in the attached drawing) is provided on one side of the upper jaw plate 401, and the sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9 is provided with a corresponding blocking unit. The stop and the blocking unit cooperate to limit the upper jaw plate 401. This includes a concave block installed on the lower side of the upper jaw plate 401 and a convex block installed on the sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9. When the sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9 slides down to the lower limit, the convex block inserts into the concave block to limit the slight deformation of the carriage during bending.

[0048] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 10, the sheet positioning and clamping device 9 can achieve synchronous action or bending of sheet metal with variable cross-section through multi-point flexible control. The sheet positioning and clamping device 9 includes a second synchronous shaft 901, a pulley group 902, a drive motor 903, a slide table 904, a slide rail 905, and a tensioning sleeve 906. The sheet metal to be bent 11 is placed on the slide table 904. The drive motor 903 is connected to the pulley group 902, and the pulley group 902 is connected to the slide table 904 through a belt. The slide table 904 is slidably connected to the slide rail 905, which is used to drive the slide table 904 to slide on the slide rail 905 to send the sheet metal to be bent 11 to the bending unit 10. The second synchronous shaft 901 is a single unit connected to multiple sheet positioning and clamping devices 9. The second synchronous shaft 901 is connected to the pulley group 902 through bearings. The tensioning sleeve 906 is fixedly connected to the second synchronous shaft 901 and the pulley group 902 respectively, and is used to drive the second synchronous shaft 901 and the pulley group 902 to rotate synchronously.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figures 11-13, the drive motor 903 drives the slide table 904 to move back and forth. The drive motor 903 achieves the individual movement of a single sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9 or the coordinated movement of multiple sheet metal positioning and clamping devices 9 through a mechanical structure. The clamping principle is as follows: the drive motor 903 drives the pulley group 902 to rotate, the pulley group 902 drives the second synchronous shaft 901 and the slide table 904, and drives the slide table 904 to clamp the material plate on the slide rail 905. Furthermore, the second synchronous shaft 901, pulley group 902, drive motor 903, slide table 904, and slide rail 905 form an independent drive group to drive the movement of a single sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9; the second synchronous shaft 901, pulley group 902, drive motor 903, slide table 904, slide rail 905, and tension sleeve 906 form an active drive group, which can adjust the power output point of the second synchronous shaft 901 by changing the installation position of the tension sleeve, so as to drive the movement of a single sheet metal positioning and clamping device 9 while making the second synchronous shaft 901 and pulley group 902 rotate synchronously; the second synchronous shaft 901, pulley group 902, slide table 904, and slide rail 905 form a passive drive group, whose driving principle is that the second synchronous shaft 901 rolls the active drive group and the passive drive group coaxially, and the second synchronous shaft 901 is used as the power input to passively perform synchronous clamping movement with the active drive group. The independent drive group can clamp and feed the board material independently, while the active drive group simultaneously drives the passive drive group to clamp and feed the board material.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, the cutting device 7 includes a roller shear head 701, a transition plate 702, a hydraulic motor 703, a bearing seat 704, a transmission chain 705, and a guide rail 706. The guide rail 706 is a linear guide rail 706, which is laterally fixed on the base frame 8. The roller shear head 701 is connected to the lower flip plate 502, and the roller shear head 701 is also fixedly connected to the transition plate 702. The transition plate 702 is slidably connected to the guide rail 706. The hydraulic motor 703 and the bearing seat 704 are fixed on the base frame 8. The hydraulic motor 703 is connected to the transition plate 702 through the transmission chain 705, and is used to drive the transition plate 702 to slide on the slide rail 905. The bearing seat 704 is connected to the transmission chain 705 to realize the tensioning function of the transmission chain 705.

[0051] As shown in Figures 15-16, since the transmission chain 705 is arranged horizontally, a continuous arrangement of nylon support strips is provided below the transmission chain 705 for guiding and supporting the transmission chain 705. The cutting device 7 also includes a guide wheel 707, which is located on the back of the roller shear head 701. The guide wheel 707 is rotatably connected to the roller shear head 701. When the roller shear head 701 moves, the guide wheel 707 moves along the flip plate to support the bent sheet material, increase the rigidity of the device, and improve the accuracy of longitudinal cutting. The guide wheel 707 can be in two states: folded or unfolded, with different heights in different states. When unfolded, the guide wheel 707 is at the material support height; when folded, the height of the guide wheel 707 is reduced so as not to interfere with the sheet material. When it is necessary to cut wide sheet material, the guide wheel 707 is unfolded to support the flat sheet material; when cutting narrow sheet material, the guide wheel 707 can be folded to prevent the roller shear head 701 from interfering with other objects when moving.

[0052] The original drive devices mentioned above, such as clamp cylinder 3, adjusting cylinder 604, drive motor 903, hydraulic motor 703, and roller shear head 701, are all connected to the control console for unified scheduling and control, so as to realize the automatic bending operation of the bending machine.
