Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel pipe bending technology, and in particular to a bending fixture for irregularly shaped steel pipes used in automobile anti-collision beams. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive crash beams are devices that effectively absorb collision energy and minimize damage to the longitudinal beams of the vehicle body during low-speed collisions. In the manufacturing and processing of automotive crash beams, shaped steel pipes are a common material used in the processing of crash beams.

[0003] Patent publication number CN209550325U discloses a bending die for irregularly shaped steel pipes, including a base. A lower template is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. A vertically oriented straight groove is formed on the side wall of the lower template. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the straight groove. A motor groove is formed on the side wall of the lower template. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the motor groove. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the inner wall of the motor groove and extends into the straight groove, where it is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. A slider that is slidably connected in the straight groove is threaded onto the threaded rod. When separating the upper and lower templates, the steel pipe placed on the placement plate can be moved to the upper end of the arc-shaped block, and then the steel pipe can be manually pushed into the steel pipe groove for bending. This eliminates the need to lift the steel pipe from the ground to the upper end of the lower template, saving manpower. By setting multiple steel pipe grooves and bending heads, multiple steel pipes can be processed simultaneously, improving work efficiency.

[0004] The above devices avoid the labor-intensive problem of manual handling by lifting and feeding steel pipes. However, in the actual bending of irregular steel pipes, when the steel pipes being processed are hollow, deformation is very likely to occur during bending. The above devices lack the function of preventing such deformation. The existing method is to insert a mandrel inside the steel pipe during bending to provide internal support and prevent deformation. However, since the mandrel needs to be inserted into the steel pipe to continue the operation, the traditional operation method is usually done manually, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, a bending fixture for irregular steel pipes for automotive anti-collision beams is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The irregular steel pipe fittings to be bent can be placed in the feeding trough 12 on the second conveying device 11. Then, the second conveying device 11 works to transport them. After the first conveying device 3 works, it transports the mounting plate 41. Since the movable plate 42 can be vertically lifted and lowered inside the mounting plate 41, when the mounting plate 41 is directly below the first conveying device 3, the movable plate 42 moves to the outside of the mounting plate 41 due to gravity. When the mounting plate 41 is directly above the first conveying device 3, the movable plate 42 moves to the inside of the mounting plate 41. Therefore, the second conveying device 11... When the irregular steel pipe on 1 needs to be fed, when it stops at a certain movable plate 42 below the first conveying device 3 that is aligned with the irregular steel pipe, the fourth motor 93 works and drives the second threaded control rod 92 to rotate. The second threaded control rod 92 drives the connecting block 94 to move. The connecting block 94 drives the pusher plate 95 to move and push out the irregular steel pipe. After the steel pipe is pushed out, it first contacts the inclined surfaces on the two clamping plates 43 on the movable plate 42. As the steel pipe continues to be pushed in, the two clamping plates 43 are spread apart. When the steel pipe is completely pushed out, under the elastic force of the spring 493, the two clamping plates 43 can tightly clamp the steel pipe, completing the first step of feeding.

[0057] After the steel pipe is pushed onto the first conveying device 3, the first conveying device 3 transports it to the movable plate 42 where the steel pipe is located. After the slot is on the side of the push plate 49, the second cylinder 491 works and pushes the push plate 49, causing the push plate 49 to insert into the slot. Then, after the first cylinder 48 works, it can push and pull the lifting block 47 up and down. At this time, the lifting block 47 is controlled to rise. Through the above operation, it can be seen that the movable plate 42 also drives the steel pipe to rise, so that the steel pipe is higher than the first positioning plate 87 and the second positioning plate 892. As the first conveying device 3 continues to transport, it controls the steel pipe to move to the top of the processing position. Then, it controls the steel pipe to move down to the bending position. Based on the above control of the lifting of the movable plate 42 and the cooperation of the first conveying device 3 to transport it laterally, it is also possible to accurately place steel pipes of different shapes, avoiding the problem of complicated subsequent positioning work due to different center positions caused by different cross sections.

[0058] After the irregular steel pipe is stopped in the processing position, the sixth cylinder 88 and the seventh cylinder 893 work to move the first slider 86 and the second slider 891 respectively. The first slider 86 and the second slider 891 move the first positioning plate 87 and the second positioning plate 892 respectively, causing the first positioning plate 87 to cooperate with the bending plate 85 to clamp the steel pipe, and the two second positioning plates 892 to clamp the steel pipe.

[0059] After the third cylinder 78 works, it pushes the main plate 6 horizontally. After the fourth cylinder 79 works, it pushes and pulls the lifting frame 71 vertically. Through the above connection relationship, it can be seen that the mandrel 5 can be adjusted in four directions to ensure that the mandrel 5 can be aligned with the steel pipe and accurately inserted. When the above irregular steel pipe is clamped, the first motor 76 works and drives the threaded adjustment rod 75 to rotate. The threaded adjustment rod 75 drives the fixing block 72 to move. The fixing block 72 drives the mandrel 5 to move, so that the mandrel 5 is inserted into the steel pipe and ensures that the bent end 51 on the mandrel 5 is at the corresponding part of the steel pipe that needs to be bent.

[0060] After the mandrel 5 is inserted, the second motor 895 operates and drives the second gear 896 to rotate. The second gear 896 drives the first gear 894 to rotate, the first gear 894 drives the round rod 84 to rotate, and the round rod 84 drives the rotating plate 83 to rotate. Through the above connection relationship, it can be seen that the steel pipe can be bent when the bending plate 85 rotates. During this period, the second positioning plate 892 is pulled along with the bending of the steel pipe to ensure that the steel pipe can remain stable during bending. After the bending is completed, the first positioning plate 87 is separated from the bending plate 85 and the two second positioning plates 892 are separated. The bent steel pipe is then removed. The third motor 884 operates and drives the threaded control rod. Rotation causes the threaded control rod to move the threaded block 885 towards the position of the extension block 881. When the L-shaped plate 886 moves to one side of the through groove, the eighth cylinder 887 works and pulls the L-shaped plate 886, causing it to insert into the through groove. Then, the threaded block 885 is controlled to move back, at which point the L-shaped plate 886 moves the extension block 881. The extension block 881 moves the auxiliary frame 89 towards the direction of the first conveying device 3, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the next positioning operation. At the same time, after the push plate 49 leaves the slot, the moving block 45 is also pulled back to the initial position under the elastic tension of the spring 492, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the next push plate 49 inserting into the movable plate 42.

[0061] Meanwhile, when dealing with the bending processing needs of irregularly shaped steel pipes with different cross-sectional shapes, after rotating the first and second fixing rings and removing them from the first threaded fixing rod 897 and the second threaded fixing rod 899, the bending plate 85, the first positioning plate 87 and the second positioning plate 892 can be removed and replaced. At the same time, after the fifth cylinder 77 works, it can push the U-shaped plate 74. After the U-shaped plate 74 drives the pressure plate 73 to move above the connecting end 52 of the mandrel 5, the mandrel 5 can also be quickly removed and replaced to match the cross-sectional shape of different steel pipes. This convenient replacement can flexibly adapt to the bending and positioning clamping needs of steel pipes with different cross-sectional shapes, and has a wider range of applications.

[0062] 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.
