Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fully automatic processing equipment for metal pipe fittings, and in particular to a single-tube punching and bending integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] Pipe punching and bending are common processes in metal processing. Pipe punching is commonly done by using a punching machine and a corresponding mold to punch holes in the pipe through impact force. This method is highly efficient and suitable for mass production, but the mold cost is high. It is difficult to process holes with high processing precision and complex shapes. In addition, the processing mode of punching holes in the pipe using impact force can easily cause the pipe wall at the punching site to sag inward, thereby forming burrs inside the pipe. Once the punching site is used for assembly, it can easily lead to reduced assembly precision.

[0003] The existing punching processing method for this type of round tube, in order to ensure assembly accuracy and avoid concave punching parts and burr formation, mostly adopts an internal support processing method, that is, a group of hole core rods are inserted into the inside of the round tube, and the diameter of the hole core rods is almost the same as the inner diameter of the round tube. The support of the hole core rods is used to offset the extrusion force caused by punching.

[0004] However, when using a core rod to assist, the core rod needs to be inserted into the round tube, and high precision is required for tube penetration. At the same time, high precision is required for the cooperation between the core rod and the punch. Once the punch is not installed correctly, the punching will be off-center.

[0005] For example, a punching machine disclosed in a Chinese patent with patent application number 201610422707.0 includes a machine platform, a locking mechanism located on the machine platform, and two punching mechanisms. The punching mechanism includes a mounting frame, a driving member located on the mounting frame, and a punching die. The punching die includes a support assembly, an adjustable punch assembly located above the support assembly, and a waste discharge cylinder. The adjustable punch assembly includes a large punching core rod pressing block, a fixing plate located below the large punching core rod pressing block, and a A large punching mandrel mounting plate on the bottom of the fixed plate, a large punching mandrel installed in the large punching mandrel mounting plate, an adjusting plate cylinder is also provided on the fixed plate, the adjusting plate cylinder is connected to the adjusting plate, a small punching mandrel pressing block is also provided at the bottom of the large punching mandrel pressing block, a small punching mandrel mounting plate is also provided on the top surface of the large punching mandrel mounting plate, a small punching mandrel is provided in the small punching mandrel mounting plate, and the small punching mandrel is located in the large punching mandrel. This technical solution adopts large and small punching mandrels with extremely high matching accuracy.

[0006] Therefore, a technical solution for punching support processing that can replace the hole core rod structure is continued. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a single-tube punching and bending machine, which improves the side punching module and uses the side punching needle to penetrate into the interior of the round tube and rely on resistance and extrusion to open the expansion component to form an umbrella-shaped skeleton rigid support. Then, the near side of the round tube supported by the expansion component is punched through the punching tube. After the punching is completed, the punching tube is rigidly supported by the punching needle guide sleeve when punching the far side, so that the punching tube has rigid support when punching on both sides, avoiding the problem of inner concave or outer convex of the punching part, solving the problem of burrs at the punching part of the round tube, and improving the processing and assembly accuracy of the round tube.

[0014] As an improvement, the material sorting module includes a material bin and a material sorting component; A plurality of horizontal round tubes are stored in the silo; The material sorting assembly includes an L-shaped material channel, a positioning plate and a lifting block. The L-shaped material channel is connected to the material bin. The positioning plate is arranged at the outlet of the L-shaped material channel. The positioning plate is stepped with the loading and clamping station and the positioning station. The positioning station is located above the loading and clamping station. The lifting block is arranged at the positioning station.

[0024] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0025] Embodiment 1: like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, a single tube punching and bending machine includes: The punching mechanism I comprises a side punching module 1 for opening holes in the axial side wall of the clamped and fixed round tube 00 at any depth. When the side punching module 1 punches the side wall of the round tube 00, the side punching module 1 rigidly supports the side wall of the round tube 00 at the punching position.

[0026] Specifically, the side punching module 1 includes a side punching needle 11 and a punching tube 12 arranged on both sides of the round tube 00, and an expansion assembly 13 is arranged at the end of the side punching needle 11. The side punching needle 11 and the punching tube 12 are respectively driven by the cylinder and the slide rail module to move and complete the punching process; During the punching process, the side punch needle 11 passes through the circumferentially covered punch needle guide sleeve 14 to punch the proximal side of the round tube 00 (at this time, the diameter of the hole punched by the side punch needle 11 is smaller than the diameter of the processing hole required by the design), and the side punch needle 11 performs the punching work before the punch tube 12. After the side punch needle 11 penetrates the round tube 00, the side punch needle 11 abuts against the inner side wall of the far side of the round tube 00, and the expansion assembly 13 is opened to rigidly support the inner side wall of the round tube 00; Wherein, the expansion assembly 13 includes a needle 131 and a plurality of support heads 132; The needle head 131 is elastically and telescopically arranged at the punching end of the side punch needle 11; The support head 132 is rotatably mounted on the needle head 131. The support head 132 is hinged to the side punch needle 11 through a hinge arm 133. When the needle head 131 contracts, the support head 132 changes the angle with the hinge arm 133, and the support head 132 rotates and swings out to form an umbrella-like skeleton structure. The opening process of the expansion assembly 13 is as follows: when the side punch needle 11 punches the proximal side of the circular tube 00 for the first time (the proximal side is based on the side punch needle position), the expansion assembly 13 cannot be opened due to the annular covering limit of the punch needle guide sleeve 14, and the needle head 131 of the side punch needle 11 is in direct rigid contact with the proximal wall and penetrates into the circular tube 00. After the side punch needle 11 penetrates into the circular tube 00, the expansion assembly 13 loses the annular covering limit of the punch needle guide sleeve 14. When the side punch needle 11 reaches the distal inner wall of the circular tube 00, the needle head 131 has elastic expansion and contraction properties. Under the elastic contraction of the needle head 131, the support head 132 changes the angle with the hinged arm 133, and the support head 132 rotates and swings to form an umbrella-shaped skeleton structure supported on the inner wall of the circular tube 00, that is, the inside of the proximal tube wall based on the punch tube 12.

[0027] It should be specifically explained here that a hollow mounting groove 001 is provided at the end of the side punch needle 11, a step 002 is provided inside the mounting groove 001, a spring groove 003 is provided below the step 002, the open end of the mounting groove 001 is threaded, and a threaded end cap 004 is installed, and the needle head 131 is composed of a head 1311 and a limiting portion 1312, and the head 1311 and the limiting portion 1312 are threadedly connected through an axis 1313, and the limiting portion 1312 is arranged in the mounting groove 001 in a round cake shape, and the spring 005 is installed in the spring groove 003, just below the limiting portion 1312, and the threaded end cap 004 has a hole for the axis 1313 to pass through, when the needle head 131 contacts and contracts with the inner wall of the circular tube 00, the limiting portion 1312 abuts against the step 002, and the spring 005 is compressed in the spring groove 003, thereby realizing the rigid support of the expansion assembly 13.

[0028] The open end of the punch tube 12 is blade-shaped, and the punch tube 12 first punches the proximal wall of the circular tube 00 rigidly supported by the expansion assembly 13. Since the inner diameter of the punch tube 12 is larger than the diameter of the side punch needle 11, after completing the punching of the proximal wall, the needle 131 loses its limit and directly pops out to reset, which allows the side punch needle 11 to be directly inserted into the punch tube 12, and then the punch tube 12 continues to extend to simultaneously punch the distal side wall of the circular tube 00, and the distal wall of the circular tube 00 is just wrapped by the arc edge of the punch needle guide sleeve 14 to form a rigid support, which ensures that when the punch tube 12 punches the circular tube 00 twice, there is rigid support, and it will not be concave or convex, thereby avoiding the generation of burrs.

[0029] It is further explained that when the punching tube 12 punches the far side wall of the round tube 00, the side punching needle 11 also guides the punching tube 12 to ensure the accuracy of the punching on both sides, while also strengthening the strength of the punching tube 12.

[0030] It is worth emphasizing that, in addition to the inner diameter of the punching tube 12 being larger than the diameter of the side punching needle 11, the inner diameter of the punching tube 12 is smaller than the support range of the expansion assembly 13 after it is opened, and after the punching tube 12 punches out the hole on the proximal wall, the needle 131 of the expansion assembly 13 loses its limit and extends under the action of the spring 005, pushing the waste generated by the proximal punching to the leakage hole 121 opened on the punching tube 12 for output, and after the punching tube 12 completes the opening of the distal wall, the punching tube 12 and the side punching needle 11 are synchronously reversed and recovered, and the side punching needle 11 brings out the waste from the distal opening in the punching tube 12, so that no waste is retained in the punching tube 12.

[0031] It should also be emphasized that the punching mechanism I also includes an end punching module 2 for punching the end of the circular tube 00, and the end punching module 2 includes an upper punching needle 21 and a positioning core rod 22. The upper punching needle 21 punches the upper side wall of the circular tube 00 downward, and the positioning core rod 22 extends into the circular tube 00 for rigid support. The upper punching needle 21 is installed on a mounting seat, and one end of the upper punching needle 21 is connected to a driving cylinder 23. The driving cylinder 23 drives the upper punching needle 21 to move up and down. The upper punching needle 21 can pierce the upper side wall of the circular tube 00 downward at an extremely stable and efficient speed to complete the punching process of the circular tube 00. 1 is provided with a punch guide block 24, the upper punch 21 is penetrated on the punch guide block 24, the punch guide block 24 is provided with a limit hole 25 for accommodating the circular tube 00, the positioning core rod 22 is provided in a cylindrical shape, the positioning core rod 22 is installed on the mounting seat through the connecting block 221, the positioning core rod 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 221, when the cylindrical positioning core rod 22 contacts the inner wall of the circular tube 00, a relatively uniform force distribution can be achieved, in the process of providing rigid support for the circular tube 00, the local stress concentration is avoided to the greatest extent to cause damage to the inner wall of the circular tube 00, and one end of the circular tube 00 is set in abutment with the connecting block 221; In actual operation, the positioning core rod 22 is first extended into the interior of the round tube 00 to ensure the stability of the round tube. Then, the upper punch 21 moves downward to punch the upper side wall of the round tube. Due to the supporting effect of the positioning core rod 22, the round tube will not be deformed during the punching process, thereby ensuring the quality and accuracy of the punching.

[0032] Furthermore, the punching mechanism I also includes a clamping module 3 for clamping and fixing the round tube 00, and the clamping module 3 includes two groups of clamping blocks 31 that move in opposite directions. The clamping blocks 31 are closed to clamp and fix the round tube 00. The clamping blocks 31 are installed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 32. The telescopic cylinder 32 drives the clamping blocks 31 to move in the horizontal direction. The inner surface of the clamping block 31 that contacts the round tube 00 is provided with a groove 311, and the groove 311 is arranged in an arc shape. When the two groups of clamping blocks 31 conflict with each other, the clamping blocks 31 and the outer wall of the round tube 00 are tightly fitted, which greatly improves the stability of the clamping. When the round tube 00 is transported to the working area of ​​the clamping module 3, the telescopic cylinders 32 on both sides will synchronously drive the two groups of clamping blocks 31 to move in opposite directions toward the central axis of the round tube 00 according to the preset control instructions. As the clamping blocks 31 gradually approach the round tube 00, their arc-shaped grooves 311 contact the outer wall of the round tube 00 and gradually apply pressure. In this process, due to the opposing forces of the two groups of clamping blocks 31, the round tube 00 is evenly and firmly clamped in the middle. By reasonably adjusting the output pressure of the telescopic cylinder 32, the clamping force of the clamping blocks 31 on the round tube 00 can be accurately controlled. This force can not only ensure that the round tube 00 will not be displaced, shake or other unstable phenomena due to the impact of the punching force during the punching process, but also avoid damage such as indentation and deformation on the surface of the round tube 00 due to excessive clamping force.

[0033] It should be noted that a slope 312 is provided at the groove 311. When the clamping block 31 starts to approach the round tube 00, the slope 312 first contacts the outer wall of the round tube 00. The slope 312 plays a dual role of guidance and calibration in this process. It uses its own inclination angle to gradually correct the slight position deviation of the round tube 00 in the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the round tube 00 can slide smoothly and accurately into the predetermined position of the groove 311 along the guiding direction of the slope 312.

[0034] Embodiment 2: The difference between Example 2 of the present invention and Example 1 described with reference to Example 1 is that: like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, a single tube punching and bending integrated machine also includes an automatic feeding mechanism II, and the automatic feeding mechanism II includes a material sorting module 4 and a feeding module 5; The material sorting module 4 outputs the horizontally placed round tubes 00 one by one to the loading and clamping station 01; The feeding module 5 grabs the round tube 00 located at the feeding and clamping station 01 and transfers it to the punching mechanism I.

[0035] Furthermore, the material sorting module 4 includes a material bin 41 and a material sorting component 42; The silo 41 stores a number of horizontal round tubes 00. The silo 41 is tilted so that the round tubes 00 can naturally and slowly roll toward the material sorting assembly 42 connected to the silo 41 under the action of their own gravity. A filter rod 411 is provided at the output end of the silo 41. The material sorting component 42 includes an L-shaped material channel 421, a positioning plate 422 and a lifting block 423. The L-shaped material channel 421 is connected with the material bin 41. When the round tube 00 rolls from the material bin 41 to the L-shaped material channel 421, the L-shaped structural design can guide the round tube 00 to change the direction of movement so that it can be transported along a specific L-shaped path. The positioning plate 422 is arranged at the outlet of the L-shaped material channel 421. The positioning plate 422 is stepped with the loading and clamping station 01 and the positioning station 02. The positioning station 02 is located above the loading and clamping station 01. The loading and clamping station 01 and the positioning station 02 are both arranged in a hook shape, which can well adapt to the shape of the round tube and position the round tube. The lifting block 423 is arranged at the positioning station 02. The lifting block 423 realizes vertical movement through the lifting cylinder 426. The lifting block 423 pushes up the round tube 00 located at the positioning station 02, so that the round tube 00 rolls down to the loading and clamping station 01.

[0036] Wherein, sensors 424 are arranged above the L-shaped material channel 421 and at the loading and clamping station 01. When the round tube 00 rolls from the material bin 41 into the L-shaped material channel 421, the sensor 424 senses the presence of the round tube 00 and quickly transmits the signal to the control system, feeding back that the round tube 00 has successfully entered the L-shaped material channel 421, providing a basis for starting the subsequent process; When the round tube 00 processed by the material sorting component 42 is lifted by the lifting block 423 at the positioning station 02, so that the round tube 00 rolls along the slope of the positioning plate 422 to the loading and clamping station 01, the sensor 424 can capture the existence of the round tube 00, and then send a grabbing instruction to the subsequent loading module 5, prompting the loading module 5 to respond quickly, accurately grab the round tube 00 and transfer it to the punching mechanism I.

[0037] Furthermore, material cylinders 425 are provided on both sides of the L-shaped material channel 421 and the loading and clamping station 01, and the two groups of material cylinders 425 are symmetrically arranged. When the round tube 00 rolls along the inclined surface of the silo 41 into the L-shaped material channel 421, since positional deviation or unstable posture may occur during the rolling process, the material cylinders 425 are extended and retracted along the axial direction of the round tube 00, pushing the round tube 00 to the center of the L-shaped material channel 421, ensuring that the round tube 00 always maintains the correct position during the conveying process, paving the way for the subsequent precise entry into the positioning station 02; When the lifting block 423 pushes the round tube 00 down from the positioning station 02 and makes it roll to the loading and clamping station 01, due to certain uncertainties in the rolling process, the round tube 00 may not be accurately located in the ideal position of the loading and clamping station 01. At this time, the whole-material cylinders 425 on both sides of the loading and clamping station 01 operate synchronously to adjust the position of the round tube 00 from both sides of the station. They accurately push the round tube 00 to the preset position to ensure that the position accuracy of the round tube 00 meets the gripping requirements of the loading module 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the feeding module 5 includes a linear slide assembly 51, a lifting assembly 52 and a material grabbing clamp 53; The linear slide assembly 51 connects the positioning station 02 and the punching mechanism I. The linear slide assembly 51 includes a slide 511, a ball screw 512 and a drive motor 513. The slide 511 is used as a direct carrier for the pipe to be processed, ensuring that the pipe always maintains a stable posture during the transfer process without deviation or shaking. The ball screw 512 is a key transmission component for realizing the linear motion of the slide 511. The ball screw 512 efficiently and accurately converts the rotational motion output by the drive motor 513 into the linear motion of the slide 511. This transmission method not only greatly improves the transmission efficiency, but also significantly reduces the friction force, so that the movement of the slide 511 is more stable and accurate, which can meet the strict requirements on the position accuracy of the pipe transfer. The lifting component 52 is installed on the slide 511 of the linear slide component 51. The lifting component 52 drives the grabbing claw 53 to lift and grasp the round tube 00. The lifting component 52 is preferably a cylinder, and the grabbing claw 53 is preferably a two-finger pneumatic claw.

[0039] It should be noted here that there are two groups of lifting components 52 and grabbing claws 53, one group travels back and forth between the loading and clamping station 01 and the punching mechanism I, and the other group travels back and forth between the punching mechanism I and the bending mechanism III.

[0041] It should be noted that the first pipe bending module 61 includes a rolling wheel 611 driven to rotate by a servo motor, and a pipe bending guide module 612 driven by a cylinder, and the pipe bending guide module 612 is provided with a pipe bending groove adapted to the pipe bending angle, and the rolling wheel 611 rolls the round pipe so that the round pipe is bent to a corresponding angle, and the rolling wheel 611 is driven by the cylinder to move and adjust along the axial direction of the round pipe 00.

[0042] The second bending pipe module 62 includes a fixedly arranged fixing block 621, a semicircular positioning groove is arranged on the fixing block 621, and a semi-cylindrical bending pipe pressing module 622 is arranged directly below the fixing block 621. The bending pipe pressing module 622 cooperates with the fixing block 621 to limit the bending angle and bending extension of the first bending pipe module 61.

[0043] The clamping module 7 includes two groups of clamping seats 71 arranged opposite to each other up and down. The clamping seats 71 are respectively provided with opposite semicircular grooves that just fit the round tube. The clamping seats 71 are also moved and closed by correspondingly arranged cylinders and slide rail modules to clamp the round tube.

[0044] In addition, the pipe bending mechanism III also includes a feeding module 8 and an output module 9; The unloading module 8 is arranged beside the clamping module 7, and the unloading module 8 clamps the bent round tube 00 and flips it to the output module 9; The output module 9 carries the bent round tube 00 for horizontal output.

[0045] The unloading module 8 is composed of a pneumatic clamping claw 81, a servo reduction motor group 82 and a swing arm 83. After the pneumatic clamping claw 81 clamps the round tube, the servo reduction motor group 82 drives the swing arm 83 to rotate about 90°, and the round tube 00 bent on the bending mechanism III is transported to the output module 9.

[0046] The output module 9 is composed of a sprocket module 91, a sprocket servo motor 92, and a loading plate 93. The sprocket servo motor 92 drives the chain in the sprocket module 91 to rotate, and the loading plate 93 is installed on the chain to rotate the chain. The two groups of loading materials 93 are located at the two ends of the round tube 00, and the round tube 00 is output through the rotation of the loading plate 93.
