[0041] Example 1:
[0042] In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming tool is provided to solve the technical problem of how to improve the product consistency and manufacturing efficiency of thermocouple heads when required to manufacture thermocouple heads with round heads.
[0043] For details, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 This embodiment of a thermocouple head bending forming fixture includes a base plate 1, a first bending mechanism 2, and a second bending mechanism 3.
[0044] The first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 are respectively mounted on the base plate 1, and the first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 do not interfere with each other;
[0045] The first bending mechanism 2 is provided with a first contouring structure, wherein the first contouring structure is provided with a first bending portion;
[0046] The second bending mechanism 3 is provided with a second contouring structure, wherein the second contouring structure is provided with a second bending portion.
[0047] The base plate 1 is generally flat and has a first surface and a second surface. In actual installation, when the base plate 1 is placed on a platform or mechanical equipment, the first surface is located above the second surface and can be viewed from above by a person's line of sight.
[0048] The first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 are respectively installed on the base plate 1 located on the first surface, which facilitates the operation of the first bending mechanism 2 and the second bending mechanism 3 by the staff.
[0049] The first contouring structure of the first bending mechanism 2 is used to restrict the position of a portion of the thermocouple, and the first bending portion of the first contouring structure is used to restrict the bending and forming position of the thermocouple head. Similarly, the second contouring structure of the second bending mechanism 3 is used to restrict the position of a portion of the thermocouple, and the second bending portion of the second contouring structure is used to restrict the bending and forming position of the thermocouple head.
[0050] In the actual use of a thermocouple head bending and forming tooling according to this embodiment, the positive and negative pole wires (i.e., the wires of the thermocouple, the same below) that have been welded are obtained. The intersection of the positive and negative pole wires is the welding part H, which is common knowledge.
[0051] For ease of understanding by those skilled in the art, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The positive and negative pole wires located at the welding part H are defined as target segment D1, and the positive and negative pole wires located on both sides of target segment D1 are defined as first long segment D2 and second long segment D3, respectively.
[0052] After obtaining the positive and negative pole wires, the positive and negative pole wires are now straight; the positive and negative pole wires are then placed on the first bending mechanism 2, wherein, see... Figure 2 or Figure 7The welding part H is positioned to align with the contour of the first contour structure, so that the target segment D1 is temporarily positioned relative to the first bending mechanism 2. Then, the workers apply force to the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 respectively, forcing the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 to rotate along the arc path and move closer to each other. That is, the angle between the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 changes from an obtuse angle to an acute angle, thereby causing the target segment D1 to bend.
[0053] During the process of the first long segment D2 and the second length approaching each other, the target segment D1 applies a force to the first contouring structure. Correspondingly, the target segment D1 is blocked by the first contouring structure, causing the target segment D1 to deform. This further causes a part of the target segment D1 to fit tightly into the first contouring structure and form a first curved structure. In addition to the target segment D1 forming the first curved structure, the first long segment D2 and the second length still maintain a roughly straight shape and extend away from the target segment D1, thereby forming the first intermediate product.
[0054] After obtaining the first intermediate product, the workers remove the first intermediate product from the first bending mechanism 2 and then place the first intermediate product on the second bending mechanism 3.
[0055] When the first intermediate product is placed on the second bending mechanism 3, the connection position of the target segment D1, or the target segment D1, with the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 respectively, is aligned with the outline of the second contour structure, thereby forming a temporary positioning of the first intermediate product relative to the second bending mechanism 3.
[0056] Then, the operator operates the second bending mechanism 3, causing the second conforming mechanism to clamp the first intermediate product; during this process, the connection points between the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3, or the target segment D1 and the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3, are deformed by the force of the second bending mechanism 3, thereby forming a preset shape (see...). Figure 7 When the second contouring mechanism has fully transformed into the preset shape, at least the target segment D1 has formed the circular head of the thermocouple (see...). Figure 7 The shape of the thermocouple head has been completed, while most of the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 remain straight.
[0057] Finally, the staff will remove the positive and negative dipole wires located in the second bending mechanism 3 and transfer them to the subsequent work station.
[0058] This embodiment provides a thermocouple head bending and forming fixture. A first bending mechanism bends the positive and negative electrode wires into a first intermediate product, the target segment of which forms a semi-circle. Then, the first intermediate product is bent into a thermocouple head with a round head by a second bending mechanism. In the mass production of thermocouple heads with round heads, the shape of each positive and negative electrode wire bent into the first intermediate product is constrained to be consistent by the first bending mechanism, and the shape of the first intermediate product bent into the thermocouple head with a round head is constrained to be consistent by the second bending mechanism, thereby improving the product consistency of the thermocouple heads with round heads. The positive and negative electrode wires are bent by the first and second bending mechanisms respectively, requiring only two steps to obtain a thermocouple head with a round head, thus improving the manufacturing efficiency of thermocouple heads with round heads.
[0059] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 6 In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming tooling is provided. The first bending mechanism 2 includes a pressure plate 21, a first positioning shaft 22, and a locking screw 23.
[0060] The first positioning shaft 22 is disposed on the base plate 1, and the center line of the first positioning shaft 22 is perpendicular to the base plate 1;
[0061] The pressure plate 21 is provided with an opening slot 24, the opening direction of the opening slot 24 faces the first positioning shaft 22, the first positioning shaft 22 is a first contour structure, and the first bent part is a part of the cylindrical surface of the first positioning shaft 22 facing the opening slot 24.
[0062] The pressure plate 21 is detachably connected to the base plate 1 by locking screws 23.
[0063] The main function of the pressure plate 21 is to align the opening groove 24 on the pressure plate 21 with the first positioning shaft 22; the opening groove 24 is used to position the welding part H of the positive and negative pole wires.
[0064] The main function of the locking screw 23 is to connect the pressure plate 21 to the base plate 1 in a detachable manner. Depending on the thickness or diameter of the positive and negative polarity wires, the position of the pressure plate 21 relative to the first positioning shaft 22 needs to be adjusted so that the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22 can only accommodate the positive and negative polarity wires of the corresponding thickness or diameter, thereby forming a temporary position of the positive and negative polarity wires relative to the first contour structure.
[0065] Preferred, see Figure 2 or Figure 6 The pressure plate 21 is provided with a positioning groove 25;
[0066] The locking screw 23 is restricted to a knurled head screw, wherein the circumferential surface of the head of the knurled head screw is provided with knurled patterns, and the screw portion of the knurled head screw passes through the positioning groove 25 and is connected to the base plate 1.
[0067] When actually connecting the pressure plate 21 and the base plate 1, the screw head of the knurled head screw is passed through the positioning groove 25 and connected to the threaded hole of the base plate 1. The head of the knurled head screw is provided with a rough surface formed by the knurling process. This rough surface is used to increase the coefficient of friction with the worker's hand, thereby increasing the friction between the knurled head screw and the worker's hand.
[0068] The first positioning shaft 22 is cylindrical and is detachably connected to the base plate 1. The connection methods between the two include, but are not limited to, interference fit and clearance fit.
[0069] For batch bending of the same type of positive and negative dipole wires, the following first bending method can be used:
[0070] First, the position of the opening slot 24 of the pressure plate 21 relative to the first positioning shaft 22 is adjusted so that the distance between the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22 matches the thickness or diameter of the positive and negative pole wires. Then, the operator places the positive and negative pole wires in the gap between the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22, and aligns the welded part H of the positive and negative pole wires with the opening slot 24 to form a temporary position. Next, the operator applies force to both ends of the positive and negative pole wires to make a closing action, so that the distance between the two ends of the positive and negative pole wires decreases and the positive and negative pole wires gradually surround the first positioning shaft 22. Among them, a part of the cylindrical surface of the first positioning shaft 22 facing the opening slot 24 becomes the first bending part. A part of the positive and negative pole wires are attached to the first bending part and bent into a semi-circle, thus forming a semi-circular target segment D1. The remaining positive and negative pole wires remain roughly straight and are kept as the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3, completing the bending work of the positive and negative pole wires in the first bending mechanism 2.
[0071] For bending operations involving two or more positive and negative dipole wires, the following second bending method can be used:
[0072] First, adjust the position of the opening slot 24 of the pressure plate 21 relative to the first positioning shaft 22 according to the thickness or diameter of the first type of positive and negative pole wire, so that the distance between the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22 matches the thickness or diameter of the first type of positive and negative pole wire; then, the operator places the first type of positive and negative pole wire in the gap between the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22, and aligns the welding part H of the first type of positive and negative pole wire with the opening slot 24 to form a temporary position; next, the operator applies force to both ends of the first type of positive and negative pole wire to make a closing action, so that the distance between the two ends of the first type of positive and negative pole wire decreases, and the first type of positive and negative pole wire gradually surrounds the first positioning shaft 22. Among them, a part of the cylindrical surface of the first positioning shaft 22 facing the opening slot 24 becomes the first bending part, a part of the first type of positive and negative pole wire is attached to the first bending part and the bending is semi-circular, while the remaining first type of positive and negative pole wires remain roughly straight, thus completing the bending work of the first type of positive and negative pole wires in the first bending mechanism;
[0073] Before bending the second type of positive and negative pole wire, the worker adjusts the position of the opening groove 24 of the pressure plate 21 relative to the first positioning shaft 22 so that the distance between the pressure plate 21 and the first positioning shaft 22 matches the thickness or diameter of the second type of positive and negative pole wire; the subsequent work is the same as the temporary positioning and bending process of the first type of positive and negative pole wire, and will not be described again here.
[0074] Further, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming tool is provided with two working grooves 26 on the base plate 1.
[0075] Each working groove 26 is recessed into the base plate 1 to form a blind groove structure, wherein a first positioning shaft 22 is provided between two working grooves 26.
[0076] After the aforementioned positive and negative dipole wires have completed the bending process through the first bending mechanism, the positive and negative dipole wires are now attached to the bottom edge. It is difficult for the operator to directly remove the positive and negative dipole wires from the first bending mechanism, or the removal process may cause unexpected deformation of the already bent positive and negative dipole wires. Therefore, in this embodiment, two working grooves 26 are provided on the base plate 1. The working grooves 26 are recessed into the base plate 1, which makes it easier for the operator to place their fingers in the working grooves 26 to grasp the positive and negative dipole wires attached to the base plate 1, thereby reducing the occurrence of unexpected deformation of the positive and negative dipole wires during the removal of the positive and negative dipole wires from the first bending mechanism.
[0077] Further, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming tooling is provided. The second bending mechanism 3 includes a mandrel mechanism, a left block 31, a right block 32, and a second positioning shaft 33.
[0078] The mandrel mechanism and the second positioning shaft 33 are respectively mounted on the base plate 1, and the center line of the mandrel mechanism and the center line of the second positioning shaft 33 form a gap and are perpendicular to the base plate 1 respectively;
[0079] Left block 31 and right block 32 form rotating pairs with the spindle mechanism respectively;
[0080] The left block 31, the right block 32, and the second positioning shaft 33 together form the second contouring structure, wherein the left block 31 and the right block 32 are respectively provided with a second bending part.
[0081] The mandrel mechanism is detachably mounted on the base plate 1, and the axis of the mandrel mechanism is perpendicular to the base plate 1; the connection structure between the mandrel mechanism and the base plate 1 can be bolted or interference fit, etc.
[0082] Correspondingly, the second positioning shaft 33 is detachably mounted on the base plate 1, and the axis of the second positioning shaft 33 is perpendicular to the base plate 1; the connection method between the second positioning shaft 33 and the base plate 1 is the same as the connection method between the first positioning shaft 22 and the base plate 1 mentioned above, and will not be described again here.
[0083] The left block 31 and the right block 32 form a rotating pair with the spindle mechanism, so that the left block 31 and the right block 32 can rotate around the axis of the spindle mechanism; the left block 31 and the right block 32 form a second contouring structure with the second positioning shaft 33, and the second contouring structure can be made into various shapes according to actual needs;
[0084] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, this embodiment is described in detail according to the second contour structure having an arc portion;
[0085] For details, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 or Figure 4 In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming fixture is provided with a first working part facing the right block 32 on the left block 31. The first working part is specifically processed into a first step part 311, a first arc part 312 and a first straight part 313. The first arc part 312 is located between the first step part 311 and the first straight part 313. The distance between the first step part 311 and the second positioning shaft 33 is smaller than the distance between the first straight part 313 and the second positioning shaft 33. The intersection of the first arc part 312 and the first straight part 313 is one of the second bending parts.
[0086] The right block 32 is provided with a second working part facing the left block 31. The second working part is specifically processed into a second step part 3 pressure plate 21, a second arc part 322 and a second straight part 323. The second arc part 322 is located between the second step part 3 pressure plate 21 and the second straight part 323. The distance between the second step part 3 pressure plate 21 and the second positioning shaft 33 is smaller than the distance between the second straight part 323 and the second positioning shaft 33. The intersection of the second arc part 322 and the second straight part 323 is another second bend.
[0087] The first working part and the second working part have a first state in which the included angle is adjusted to the maximum and a second state in which the included angle is adjusted to the minimum. When the first working part and the second working part are in the second state, the outline of the first arc portion 312 and the outline of the second arc portion 322 are spaced apart from each other and respectively overlap with the outline of a reference circle. The first straight portion 313 and the second straight portion 323 are parallel to each other and have a gap.
[0088] When using the second bending mechanism of this embodiment, the staff needs to transfer the first intermediate product to the second bending mechanism.
[0089] Before the first intermediate product (i.e., positive and negative pole dipole wires) is placed before the second bending mechanism, the first intermediate product has a semi-circular target segment D1 and a first long segment D2 and a second long segment D3 that are roughly straight. At this time, the operator needs to separate the left block 31 and the right block 32 from each other, so that the left block 31 and the right block 32 rotate around the axis of the spindle mechanism to increase the included angle between the left block 31 and the right block 32, and increase the gap between the left block 31, the right block 32 and the second positioning shaft 33.
[0090] When the first intermediate product is set in the second bending mechanism, the operator needs to set the target segment D1 between the left block 31, the right block 32 and the second positioning shaft 33, thereby forming a temporary positioning of the first intermediate product (i.e., the positive and negative pole wires) relative to the second bending mechanism. The left block 31 and the second positioning shaft 33, and the right block 32 and the second positioning shaft 33 respectively accommodate a portion of the first intermediate product. The groove structure between the left block 31 and the right block 32 is aligned with the welding part H of the positive and negative pole wires. The semi-circular target segment D1 is approximately coaxial with the second positioning shaft 33, or the semi-circular target segment D1 is in contact with the second positioning shaft 33.
[0091] During the process of closing the left block 31 and the right block 32, the first straight part 313 of the left block 31 is used to apply force to the first long segment D2, and the second straight part 323 of the right block 32 is used to apply force to the second long segment D3. Correspondingly, the second bent part on the right block 32 applies force to the second long segment D3, so that the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 move closer to each other.
[0092] During the process of the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 approaching each other, the first arc portion 312 of the left block 31 presses a portion of the target segment D1 against the second positioning shaft 33. Correspondingly, the second arc portion 322 of the right block 32 presses another portion of the target segment D1 against the second positioning shaft 33, causing the target segment D1 to be compressed into a circle. At the same time, the first straight portion 313 and the second straight portion 323 approach each other and become parallel, causing the first long segment D2 and the second long segment D3 to come into contact with each other and be compressed into a straight shape. Among them, the second bending portion of the left block 31 becomes the first corner structure between the first part of the arc structure and the straight structure, and the second bending portion of the right block 32 becomes the second corner structure between the second part of the arc structure and the straight structure.
[0093] During the process of closing the left block 31 and the right block 32, a portion of the positive and negative dipole wires located at the first bending part are subjected to three forces: a first force applied by the first bending part, a first reaction force applied by the second positioning shaft 33, and a second force applied by the right block 32. The direction of the first force is opposite to the direction of the first reaction force and the second force, and the position where the first force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires is between the position where the first reaction force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires and the position where the second force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires. Thus, under the combined action of the first force, the first reaction force, and the second force, the positive and negative dipole wires bend at an angle, and the shape of the bend fits the shape of the first arc portion 312 and the first straight portion 313.
[0094] Correspondingly, during the closing of the left block 31 and the right block 32, a portion of the positive and negative dipole wires located at the second bending section are subjected to three forces: a third force applied by the second bending section, a second reaction force applied by the second positioning shaft 33, and a fourth force applied by the left block 31. The direction of the third force is opposite to the directions of the second reaction force and the fourth force, and the position where the third force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires is between the positions where the second reaction force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires and the positions where the fourth force contacts the positive and negative dipole wires. Thus, under the combined action of the third force, the second reaction force, and the fourth force, the positive and negative dipole wires bend at an angle, and the shape of the bend conforms to the shape of the second arc section 322 and the second straight section 323.
[0095] Further, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a thermocouple head bending forming tool is provided with handles 34 on the left block 31 and the right block 32 respectively.
[0096] The operator can hold the handle 34 on the left block 31 with their left hand and the handle 34 on the right block 32 with their right hand, and apply force to the left block 31 and the right block 32 respectively through the two handles 34, so that the operator can operate the left block 31 and the right block 32 to close.
[0097] Further, see Figure 1 The thermocouple head bending forming tool of this embodiment includes a mandrel mechanism comprising a mandrel 35, a hexagonal nut 36, a washer 37, and a fixing nut 38.
