[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] 1. In the present invention, a bending robot and its method of use, the robot includes a clamping mechanism, a bending mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. The clamping mechanism comprises two parts, each including a connecting plate, a moving screw, and a clamping seat. The moving screw passes through the connecting plate and connects to the top of the clamping seat. The clamping seat has a clamping groove, and a clamping block is disposed within the clamping groove. The connecting plate is connected to the bending mechanism, which includes a bending column. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat. In application, the clamping mechanism is first moved to... Above the workpiece, the moving screw drives the clamping seat to move towards the workpiece until the workpiece is located in the clamping groove. Then, the clamping block clamps the workpiece, and the clamping block drives the workpiece to move into the fixed seat. Then, the bending column bends the workpiece to obtain a bent workpiece. Then, the clamping mechanism moves above the bent workpiece, and the moving screw drives the clamping seat to move towards the bent workpiece until the bent workpiece is located in the clamping groove. Then, the clamping block clamps the bent workpiece, and the clamping block drives the bent workpiece to move away from the fixed seat. The advantages of this invention also include:
[0027] Firstly, the workpiece is moved into or away from the fixed seat by the clamping mechanism, without the need for manual or other equipment assistance, thus resulting in high processing efficiency.
[0028] Secondly, since clamping and bending are integrated into one unit without the need for manual or other equipment assistance, the space occupied by the device is reduced, and the device is less restricted by the space it is used in.
[0029] Thirdly: There are two clamping mechanisms, which clamp the two ends of the workpiece respectively, thus providing a better fixation effect for the workpiece and facilitating the smooth movement of the workpiece into the fixed seat;
[0030] Therefore, the present invention has high processing efficiency and fewer limitations on the space required for use.
[0031] 2. In the bending robot and its usage method of the present invention, guide slides are provided on both sides of the moving screw. A support plate and a moving motor are connected to the top of the moving screw and the guide slides. A sliding motor is provided in the middle of the clamping seat. Sliding screws are provided on both sides of the sliding motor. The other end of each sliding screw is connected to one end of a threaded slider. The other end of the threaded slider is connected to the top of the clamping block. In application, the moving motor drives the moving screw to rotate, so that the moving screw moves up and down along its axis. Then, the moving screw and the guide slides drive the clamping seat to move up and down, so that the clamping groove is located outside the workpiece or away from the workpiece. Then, the output end of the sliding motor rotates to drive the threaded slider to move towards the workpiece so that the clamping block clamps the workpiece, or moves the clamping block away from the workpiece to release the connection between the clamping block and the workpiece. By moving the threaded slider, the distance between the two clamping blocks is controlled, thereby adapting to workpieces of different thicknesses. Therefore, the present invention has a better clamping effect on workpieces of different thicknesses.
[0032] 3. In the bending robot and its method of use of the present invention, the bending mechanism includes a connecting column, a downward-facing movable groove inside the connecting column, an annular transmission frame at the opening of the movable groove, the annular transmission frame being connected to the bending column, and a transmission gear ring at the other end of the annular transmission frame meshing with a transmission gear. Two positioning clamps are also provided in the middle of the sliding groove. In application, the two positioning clamps first clamp the workpiece to fix it, then the bending column bends the workpiece to obtain a bent workpiece. Then, the bending column moves away from the bent workpiece, and the two positioning clamps also move away from the bent workpiece. The positioning clamps fix the workpiece to prevent it from shifting under the bending action of the bending column, thus ensuring a stable bending effect. Therefore, the bending effect of the present invention is stable.
[0033] 4. In the bending robot and its usage method of the present invention, the number of fixing seats is two. Each fixing seat includes a base plate, a positioning pressure plate, a sliding clamping plate, and a placement groove. The base plate has a base plate groove in the middle, and the placement groove contains an I-shaped pressure plate and a sliding pull plate. In application, when the workpiece is placed in the placement groove, the workpiece presses down on the I-shaped pressure plate. Then, under the action of the I-shaped pressure plate, the sliding pull plate moves towards the workpiece to initially fix the workpiece and prevent it from tilting. Then, the sliding clamping plate moves to one side of the workpiece to clamp the workpiece together with the positioning pressure plate, thereby fixing the workpiece. Therefore, the present invention has a better workpiece fixing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0070] A method of using a bending robot, the method comprising the following steps:
[0071] Step 1: First, move the clamping mechanism 1 above the workpiece 7, then move the moving screw 12 toward the workpiece 7, then move the moving screw 12 to move the clamping seat 13 toward the workpiece 7 until the workpiece 7 is located in the clamping groove 131, and then move the two clamping blocks 132 toward the sides of the workpiece 7 to clamp the workpiece 7.
[0072] Step 2: First, make the clamping block 132 move the workpiece 7, then make the clamping block 132 put the workpiece 7 into the fixed seat 31, then fix the workpiece 7 by the fixed seat 31, then make the clamping block 132 move away from the workpiece 7, and then make the clamping mechanism 1 move away from the workpiece 7.
[0073] Step 3: First, move the bending column 21 to the vicinity of the part of the workpiece 7 that needs to be bent, and then make the bending column 21 move in a circle. When the bending column 21 moves and connects with the workpiece 7, the bending column 21 continues to move in a circle while pressing against the workpiece 7 to bend the workpiece 7, and then the bent workpiece 71 is obtained. Then move the bending column 21 away from the bent workpiece 71.
[0074] Step 4: First, move the clamping mechanism 1 above the unbent part of the bent workpiece 71. Then, move the moving screw 12 towards the bent workpiece 71. Next, move the moving screw 12 to move the clamping seat 13 towards the bent workpiece 71 until the bent workpiece 71 is located in the clamping groove 131.

[0075] Example 2:
[0076] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:
[0077] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 4 The movable screw 12 has guide pins 16 on both sides. The top of the guide pins 16 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 161. One end of the movable screw 12 passes through the support plate 161 and is connected to one end of the movable motor 162. The middle part of the guide pin 16 passes through the connecting plate 11, and the bottom of the guide pin 16 is connected to the top of the clamping seat 13. The clamping seat 13 has a sliding groove 4 inside. A sliding motor 41 is arranged in the middle of the sliding groove 4. Both ends of the sliding motor 41 are connected to one end of the sliding screw 42. The other end of the sliding screw 42 is connected to the top of the threaded slider 43. The bottom of the threaded slider 43 is connected to the top of the clamping block 132.
[0078] In application, when it is necessary to clamp the workpiece 7, first move the clamping seat 13 above the workpiece 7, then rotate the output end of the moving motor 162 to drive the moving screw 12 to rotate. The moving screw 12 gradually descends along the threaded hole 111, and the guide slide 16 descends together with the moving screw 12 until the clamping groove 131 covers the workpiece 7. Then, start the sliding motor 41, which drives the sliding screws 42 on both sides to rotate. Because the sliding screws 42 and the threaded sliders 43 are threadedly connected, the sliding screws 42 drive the threaded sliders 43 to move towards the center of the clamping groove 131. Then, the threaded sliders 43 drive the clamping blocks 132 to move towards the center of the clamping groove 131, and the clamping blocks 132 clamp the workpiece 7 from both sides to fix the workpiece 7 between the clamping blocks 132. (Bending process) The clamping of workpiece 7 is the same as the steps described above. When workpiece 7 does not need to be clamped, the sliding motor 41 first drives the sliding screws 42 on both sides to rotate. Since the sliding screws 42 and the threaded sliders 43 are threadedly connected, the sliding screws 42 drive the threaded sliders 43 to move away from the clamping groove 131. Then, the threaded sliders 43 drive the clamping blocks 132 to move away from the clamping groove 131. Then, the clamping blocks 132 leave the workpiece 7 from both sides to release the fixation of the workpiece 7. Then, the output end of the moving motor 162 rotates to drive the moving screw 12 to rotate. Therefore, the moving screw 12 gradually rises along the threaded hole 111, and the guide slide 16 rises together with the moving screw 12 until the bottom of the clamping groove 131 is higher than the top of the workpiece 7. The steps when bending workpiece 7 do not need to be clamped are the same as the steps described above.

[0080] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:
[0081] Please see Figure 1 —Figure 8 The bending mechanism 2 includes a connecting column 22, the middle of which is a movable groove 221. The opening of the movable groove 221 faces downward. An annular transmission frame 23 is provided at the opening of the movable groove 221. One end of the outer bottom of the annular transmission frame 23 is connected to the top of the bending column 21. A transmission gear ring 231 is provided on the inner top of the annular transmission frame 23. One end of the transmission gear ring 231 is meshed with one end of the transmission wheel 232. The middle of the transmission wheel 232 is connected to the output shaft of the transmission motor 233. The movable groove 221 is internally provided with two positioning clamps 5, which are symmetrical about the center of the movable groove 221. The top of the positioning clamps 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped slide plate 51. A sliding post 52 is provided inside the U-shaped slide plate 51. A threaded slide plate 53 is clamped between the two U-shaped slide plates 51. The threaded slide plate 53 is provided with two inclined sliding grooves 531. The end of the inclined sliding groove 531 near the inner side of the threaded slide plate 53 is higher than the end of the inclined sliding groove 531 near the outer side of the threaded slide plate 53. The sliding post 52 is inserted into the inclined sliding groove 531. The top of the threaded slide plate 53 is provided with a slide plate hole 532, which is threaded to the bottom of the sliding screw 54. The top of the sliding screw 54 is connected to the output end of the sliding motor 55. The top of the sliding motor 55 is connected to the top of the sliding groove 4. The top of the connecting post 22 is connected to the bottom of the rotating motor 56. Preferably, the opening of the movable groove 221 is provided with a cover, and the cover is provided with a positioning hole for the positioning clamp 5 to pass through and move.
[0082] In application, after fixing the workpiece 7 onto the fixed base 31, the bending mechanism 2 is moved to the top of the part of the workpiece 7 that needs to be bent by the robotic arm 8. Then, the sliding motor 55 is started, and the sliding screw 54 is rotated by the sliding motor 55. Since the sliding screw 54 is threadedly connected to the threaded slide plate 53, the sliding screw 54 causes the threaded slide plate 53 to move longitudinally. At this time, the two inclined slide grooves 531 on the threaded slide plate 53 move longitudinally, and the inclined slide grooves 531 drive the sliding column 52 to move along the inclined slide grooves 531. Therefore, both sliding columns 52 move towards the central axis of the threaded slide plate 53. Then, the sliding column 52 drives the U-shaped slide plate 51 to move towards the central axis of the threaded slide plate 53. Then, the U-shaped slide plate 51 drives the positioning clamping plate 5 to move towards the central axis of the threaded slide plate 53. Therefore, the two positioning clamping plates 5 clamp the workpiece 7 from both sides to fix the workpiece 7. Then, the drive motor 233 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 233 causes the drive wheel 232 to rotate. The transmission wheel 232 drives the transmission gear ring 231 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission frame 23 to rotate. The transmission frame 23 then drives the bending column 21 to rotate, which in turn bends the workpiece 7 to obtain the bent workpiece 71. The sliding motor 55 is then started, which drives the sliding screw 54 to rotate. Since the sliding screw 54 is threadedly connected to the threaded slide plate 53, the sliding screw 54 causes the threaded slide plate 53 to move longitudinally. At this time, the two inclined slide grooves 531 on the threaded slide plate 53 move longitudinally, and the inclined slide grooves 531 drive the sliding column 52 to move along the inclined slide grooves 531. Therefore, both sliding columns 52 move to both sides of the threaded slide plate 53. Then, the sliding columns 52 drive the U-shaped slide plate 51 to both sides of the threaded slide plate 53. Finally, the U-shaped slide plate 51 drives the positioning clamps 5 to both sides of the threaded slide plate 53. Thus, the two positioning clamps 5 leave the workpiece 7 from both sides to release the fixation of the workpiece 7.
[0083] Example 4:
[0084] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:
[0085] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 11The bottom of the fixed base 31 is connected to the top of the support platform 32. The fixed base 31 includes a base plate 33, a positioning pressure plate 34 and a sliding clamping plate 35. The base plate 33, the positioning pressure plate 34 and the sliding clamping plate 35 together form a placement groove 36. The end of the sliding clamping plate 35 away from the placement groove 36 is connected to one end of the electric push plate 37. The base plate 33 has a vertically connected base plate groove 331 and vertical groove 332 in the middle. The vertical groove 332 is close to the positioning pressure plate 34. The bottom of the vertical groove 332 is connected to the bottom of the tightening spring 6. The top of the tightening spring 6 is connected to the bottom of the I-shaped pressure plate 61. The top of the I-shaped pressure plate 61 is higher than the base plate groove 331. Sliding blocks 62 are provided at both ends of the middle part of the I-shaped pressure plate 61. The sliding blocks 62 are located in the inclined groove 63. The end of the inclined groove 63 near the vertical groove 332 is higher than the end of the inclined groove 63 away from the vertical groove 332. The inclined groove 63 is located on the sliding pull plate 64. The end of the sliding pull plate 64 away from the vertical groove 332 is vertically connected to the end of the positioning block 65. The bottom of the sliding clamp 35 is provided with a pull plate groove 351 corresponding to the position of the sliding pull plate 64.
[0086] In application, the workpiece 7 is first placed in the placement groove 36, and then the workpiece 7 presses down on the I-shaped pressure plate 61. At this time, the clamping spring 6 is compressed, and then the I-shaped pressure plate 61 drives the sliding block 62 to move downward. At this time, the sliding block 62 moves downward along the inclined groove 63, so the inclined groove 63 moves towards the I-shaped pressure plate 61 under the action of the sliding block 62. Then the inclined groove 63 drives the sliding pull plate 64 to move towards the I-shaped pressure plate 61. Then the sliding pull plate 64 drives the positioning block 65 to move towards the I-shaped pressure plate 61. Therefore, the sliding pull plate 64 and the positioning pressure plate 34 clamp the workpiece 7 from both sides to prevent the workpiece 7 from tilting. Then the electric push plate 37 drives the sliding clamping plate 35 to move towards the I-shaped pressure plate 61 until the sliding clamping plate 35 is connected to the workpiece 7. At this time, the sliding clamping plate 35 and the positioning pressure plate 34 clamp the workpiece 7 from both sides to ensure that the workpiece 7 is properly positioned. Workpiece 7 is fixed; after obtaining the bent workpiece 71, workpiece 7 is first taken out from the placement groove 36. At this time, the clamping spring 6 extends, so the clamping spring 6 drives the I-shaped pressure plate 61 to move upward, and then the I-shaped pressure plate 61 drives the sliding block 62 to move upward. At this time, the sliding block 62 moves upward along the inclined groove 63, so the inclined groove 63 moves away from the I-shaped pressure plate 61 under the action of the sliding block 62. Then the inclined groove 63 drives the sliding pull plate 64 to move away from the I-shaped pressure plate 61. Then the sliding pull plate 64 drives the positioning block 65 to move away from the I-shaped pressure plate 61. So the sliding pull plate 64 moves away from the positioning pressure plate 34, preparing for the next clamping of workpiece 7. The electric push plate 37 drives the sliding clamping plate 35 to move away from the I-shaped pressure plate 61 to expand the volume of the placement groove 36, making it easier to put workpiece 7 into the placement groove 36 next time.
