Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bending fixtures, and in particular to a fixture for bending an aluminum tube. Background Art

[0002] When bending the aluminum tube, the two ends or one end of the aluminum tube must be fixed with a clamp. If the clamp is not firmly fixed to the aluminum tube, the aluminum tube will break away from the clamp due to internal stress and external pressure, thus causing a safety accident. At the same time, the clamp's fixation of the aluminum tube is also conducive to the stability of the aluminum tube during the bending process, making it easier to reach the preset angle of the bending angle. Therefore, in the bending process of the aluminum tube, the clamp is a key device to ensure the bending of the aluminum tube.

[0003] Most of the existing aluminum tube bending clamps only consider the fixing function of the aluminum tube; however, during the aluminum tube bending process, due to the limitation of the material itself, there will be a certain rebound after bending, so a certain bending angle will be increased during bending to offset the rebound of the material, but due to the different thicknesses of aluminum tubes of different models, the degree of rebound is also different, which increases the difficulty of bending; however, the existing aluminum tube bending clamps cannot freely adjust the bending angle, nor can they bend the aluminum tube multiple times; therefore, there is a need for an aluminum tube bending clamp that can perform multiple bends on aluminum tubes of different wall thicknesses and can freely adjust the bending angle to solve the shortcomings of the existing aluminum tube bending clamps.

[0004] For example, the patent with announcement number CN115532895B provides a semi-automatic bending fixture for metal processing, which includes a fixture mechanism and a limiting mechanism, wherein the limiting mechanism is used for limiting the metal, and the fixture mechanism is used for clamping the metal. The application can realize the bending of the metal twice, and can also reinforce the bending part of the metal after bending, so that the metal is more stable after bending. However, this solution cannot realize the clamping of aluminum tubes with different wall thicknesses, thereby failing to improve the flexibility of the clamp to clamp the aluminum tube; when bending the metal, the solution will heat the metal, making it easier to bend, but when the heating temperature is too high, it will cause excessive deformation of the metal or cause the metal performance to deteriorate; at the same time, the solution has fewer pressure points, and cannot further improve the efficiency of metal bending; although the solution can bend the metal twice, it cannot be bent more times. When the metal still cannot reach the ideal bending effect after two bends, it cannot be bent for the third time or more times. Summary of the invention

[0038] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9As shown, first, the bolts between the pulling rack 113 and the pulling slide 114 are loosened, so that the pulling rack 113 can slide freely at the lower end of the pulling slide 114, and then the spring pin 213 on the shift slide 214 is manually pressed to disengage the spring pin 213 from the shift socket 210 on the shift shaft 209, and then the shift plate 215 on the shift assembly 202 is manually driven to slide horizontally on the connecting shaft 212 of the torsion shaft 201. At this time, the shift slide 214 will also slide to the right in the shift slide groove 211, and the shift plate 215 drives the torsion spring 203 to be compressed to the right, so that the elastic force of the torsion spring 203 on the first clutch plate 204 is increased, thereby increasing the first clutch plate 204 and the second clutch. The pre-compression force between the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208 further changes the maximum torque that can be transmitted between the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208, thereby realizing the adjustment function of the transmitted torque; when the torque transmitted by the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208 exceeds the preset torque, the left end of the second clutch disc 208 will compress the first clutch disc 204 to the left, so that the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208 are out of contact, thereby realizing the overload disengagement function; the motor 205 drives the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208 to rotate through the torque transmission shaft 207, the first clutch disc 204 drives the shift shaft 209 to rotate through the connecting shaft 212, and the shift shaft 209 drives the first gear 101 to rotate The first gear 101 drives the first lead screw 109 and the second lead screw 111 to rotate synchronously through the second gear 103 and the fourth gear 112, and the first lead screw 109 and the second lead screw 111 respectively drive the second slider 108 and the first slider 104 to slide toward each other, and the second slider 108 and the first slider 104 drive the two ends of the aluminum pipe 4 to bend inward through the clamping device 3. At the same time, the first lead screw 109 also drives the forming slider 503 and the forming slide groove 502 to extend toward the direction of the aluminum pipe 4 at the upper end of the force-applying base 102 through the third gear 110 and the forming rack 504, so that the forming pressure head 501 at the front end of the forming slider 503 further applies pressure to the bending part of the aluminum pipe 4, so as to achieve The aluminum tube 4 has a multi-point force application function. After the bending is completed, the bolts between the pulling connection frame 115 and the forming slider 503 are loosened, so that the pulling connection frame 115 and the pulling slider 114 can slide independently. When the clamping device 3 loosens the two ends of the aluminum tube 4, the pulling slider 114 is manually pulled, so that the pulling connection frame 115 drives the aluminum tube 4 to detach from the clamping device 3 through the elastic sleeve 116. The sliding distance between the second slider 108 and the first slider 104 can directly control the bending angle of the aluminum tube. The aluminum tube can be formed once with the pre-set bending angle. When the aluminum tube cannot be bent once, the two ends of the aluminum tube can be inserted into the clamping device 3 again for bending again.When the forming slider 503 extends toward the aluminum tube 4, the first slider 104 drives the pulling slide 114 on the pulling assembly 106 to slide horizontally through the first connecting rod 105, and the pulling slide 114 ensures that the second slider 108 slides synchronously with the first slider 104 through the second connecting rod 107. The pulling slide 114 also drives the forming slider 503 to extend toward the aluminum tube 4 through the pulling connecting frame 115 to ensure that the forming slider 503, the first slider 104 and the second slider 108 are connected. Synchronous sliding; manually tighten the bolts between the pulling rack 113 and the pulling slide 114, at this time, the motor 205 drives the fifth gear 206 to rotate through the torsion transmission shaft 207, and the fifth gear 206 drives the pulling slide 114 to slide horizontally through the pulling rack 113, and the pulling connecting frame 115 further applies tension to the bending part of the aluminum pipe 4 through the elastic sleeve 116 to assist the bending of the aluminum pipe 4, and at the same time, it can skip the torque restriction between the first clutch disc 204 and the second clutch disc 208. ;

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the aluminum pipe fitting 4 is first inserted into the elastic sleeve 116 of the pulling assembly 106, and then the aluminum pipe fitting 4 is manually slid to the left so that the left end of the aluminum pipe fitting 4 is inserted between the clamping sleeve 314 and the clamping inner shell 310, and then the position of the aluminum pipe fitting 4 is adjusted to the right so that the right end of the aluminum pipe fitting 4 is inserted between the clamping sleeve 314 and the clamping inner shell 310 on the side of the clamping base 301, and then the clamping turntable 305 at the upper end of the clamping outer shell 303 is manually rotated, and the clamping turntable 305 drives the cone head sliding shaft 315 to move toward the center direction of the aluminum pipe fitting 4 through the third connecting rod 304 and the clamping pull rod 302, and the clamping turntable 305 also drives the clamping through the fourth connecting rod 306 The holding ball 308 moves toward the center direction of the aluminum pipe fitting 4, and the conical surface of the cone head sliding shaft 315 will drive the second elastic pressure block 313 to extend outward on the clamping sleeve 314, so that the second elastic pressure block 313 contacts the inner wall of the aluminum pipe fitting 4, and the clamping ball 308 drives the clamping screw 309 to rotate, and the clamping screw 309 drives the first elastic pressure block 312 to extend inward through the crescent protrusion 311, so that the first elastic pressure block 312 contacts the outer wall of the aluminum pipe fitting 4, and then the octagonal column 307 is manually inserted into the clamping turntable 305 and the clamping shell 303, so that the clamping turntable 305 cannot continue to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous clamping function of the inner and outer walls of the aluminum pipe fitting 4.
