Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-collision beam processing technology, and in particular to a tooling for forming irregular steel tubes for automotive anti-collision beams. Background Technology

[0002] A car crash beam is a device used to absorb collision energy when a vehicle is involved in a collision. It consists of a main beam, an energy-absorbing box, and a mounting plate that connects to the car. Both the main beam and the energy-absorbing box can effectively absorb collision energy when a vehicle is involved in a low-speed collision, minimizing the damage to the longitudinal beams of the vehicle body. The main beam of a steel crash beam is generally made by bending and shaping steel pipes before assembly.

[0003] Patent publication number CN222447819U discloses a bending forming fixture for a vehicle front anti-collision beam, including an upper product clamping mechanism, a bracket, a rotating shaft in the middle of the bracket, the rotating shaft being coaxially fixed with a swing block, a swing block sliding seat fixed on the bracket above the rotating shaft, and a return tension spring connecting the two sides of the swing block sliding seat to the corresponding lower swing block. A lower pressure plate is fixed on the bottom surface of the swing block. A product forming lower mold, matched with the upper product clamping mechanism, is an arc-shaped structure and is installed on a mold fixing seat. The product is fixedly mounted on the surface of the upper product clamping mechanism. This invention solves the problems in the prior art where, during processing, the lack of positioning or clamping mechanisms in the middle and sides of the product leads to deformation of the middle of the product being prone to concavity or convexity, and asymmetrical bending deformation of the processed parts on both sides of the product, resulting in product defects. It also addresses the problem of poor adjustability caused by the inability to adjust the processing details of the clamping block.

[0004] While the above devices improve stability and prevent dents during bending by pressing and fixing different parts of the product during the bending and forming process of the anti-collision beam, their overall functionality is relatively limited. During the bending and forming of the anti-collision beam, it is often necessary to bend and stretch it at multiple angles, positions, and directions according to assembly requirements. That is, after a single fixation, when it is necessary to perform multi-position irregular bending processing, the above devices can only repeatedly disassemble and replace a series of adaptable parts such as molds and upper pressure plates, resulting in low processing efficiency. Therefore, a special steel tube forming fixture for automotive anti-collision beams is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

A main frame 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 52. A platform plate 54 is provided on the top of the main frame 53. A connecting plate 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform plate 54. The connecting plate 55 extends into the inside of the main frame 53 and is slidably connected to the main frame 53.

One end of the fifth cylinder 596 is fixedly connected to the movable block 52. After the threaded control rod 594 rotates, it drives the movable seat 51 to move horizontally.

[0051] In actual operation, when this device is used, first connect the power supply to the device. After the anti-collision beam is bent and formed, the steel pipe is inserted through the middle cylinder 31 and the two side cylinders 32 and then fixed. Then, the steel pipe is inserted into the body 56 of the bending device and the bending device body 56 performs the bending operation. The bending device body 56 in this device is an existing bending structure device. This is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here. In the bending work, the inner diameter of the side cylinder 32, i.e. the middle cylinder 31, needs to be greater than the maximum space width required when the steel pipe is bent and pulled out, so as to ensure that the anti-collision beam steel pipe can still be pulled out smoothly after bending.

[0052] After the steel pipe is inserted through the side cylinder 32 and the middle cylinder 31, the first cylinder 393 works and pushes the control plate 392. After the control plate 392 moves, it drives the trapezoidal extrusion plate 39 to move. When the trapezoidal extrusion plate 39 moves, its inclined surface contacts the inclined surface on the trapezoidal auxiliary plate 391, and after continuing to move, it forms an extrusion and pushing effect, causing the trapezoidal auxiliary plate 391 to move. The trapezoidal auxiliary plate 391 drives the positioning plate 38 to move. After the positioning plate 38 moves, it clamps the outside of the steel pipe to ensure its stability during the bending process. The part of the steel pipe inside the side cylinder 32 is clamped in the vertical direction, while the part inside the middle cylinder 31 is clamped in the front and rear directions, thus realizing the four-way clamping of the steel pipe, which can effectively ensure its stability during the bending process.

[0053] Before clamping the steel pipe, the distance between each side cylinder 32 and the middle cylinder 31 can be adjusted according to the length of the steel pipe. During adjustment, the second cylinder 387 works and pushes and pulls the moving block 37, causing the moving block 37 to drive the second support plate 36 to move. The second support plate 36 drives the side cylinder 32 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the side cylinder 32 and the middle cylinder 31, achieving the overall adjustment of the clamping length, and flexibly matching the clamping requirements of steel pipes of different lengths.

[0054] During bending, the fourth motor 595 drives the threaded control rod 594 to rotate, and the threaded control rod 594 drives the moving seat 51 to move horizontally. Through the above connection relationship, it can be seen that the distance between the bending device body 56 and the steel pipe can be flexibly adjusted so that the steel pipe can be smoothly inserted into the bending device body 56. After the fourth cylinder 593 works, it pushes and pulls the connecting plate 55 up and down. The connecting plate 55 drives the platform plate 54 to rise and fall. The platform plate 54 drives the bending device body 56 to rise and fall for adjustment. After the fifth cylinder 596 works, it pushes and pulls the movable block 52. The movable block 52 drives the main frame 53 to move. Through the above connection relationship, it can be seen that the front and rear positions of the bending device body 56 can be adjusted. Based on the above steps, the position of the bending device body 56 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that it can be smoothly connected to the steel pipe and perform the bending operation.

[0055] After a single bending operation is completed, if bending operations are needed on other parts, repeat the above steps. After the steel pipe is inserted between the two clamping plates 59, the third motor 592 operates and drives the bidirectional threaded rod 591 to rotate. The bidirectional threaded rod 591 drives the two bottom blocks 58 to move towards or away from each other. The bottom blocks 58 drive the clamping plates 59 to move. At this time, the two clamping plates 59 move towards each other until they clamp the steel pipe. Then, release the clamping operation of the positioning plate 38 on the steel pipe. After the above steps of controlling the horizontal movement of the moving seat 51 are completed, the steel pipe can be pulled out. After being pulled out, bending operations can continue on other parts of the steel pipe. Furthermore, if further bending is needed... When the steel pipe is to bend in different directions, the first motor 386 drives the threaded adjusting rod 385 to rotate. The threaded adjusting rod 385 drives the moving plate 381 to move back and forth. The moving plate 381 drives the extension frame 382 to move. The extension frame 382 drives the insertion plate 383 to move. The insertion plate 383 then drives the movable plate 397 to move. The movable plate 397 drives the rack 398 to move. After the rack 398 moves, it drives the first gear ring 377 to rotate. The first gear ring 377 drives the side cylinder 32 to rotate. Through the above steps, it can be seen that the steel pipe can also rotate at this time. By flipping and adjusting the steel pipe, the purpose of bending in different directions can be achieved during subsequent bending.

[0056] After one end of the steel pipe is bent, the second motor 389 operates and drives the gear 371 to rotate. Since the gear 371 meshes with the second gear ring 388, it can be seen from the above connection relationship that after the gear 371 rotates, the base frame 33 can rotate 180 degrees on the top of the annular base 2. Based on the above steps, it can be seen that the positions of the two ends of the steel pipe can be interchanged. After the position is adjusted, in order to ensure the stability of the base frame 33 during the bending process, the third cylinder 376 operates and pushes the lifting plate 373. After the lifting plate 373 drives the rectangular insert rod 374 to insert into the rectangular slot 375, the base frame 33 can no longer rotate, thus effectively avoiding the possibility of the base frame 33 shaking during the bending operation.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
