Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel tower processing equipment technology, specifically to an integrated processing equipment and method for cutting, bending, and drilling steel tower components. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the processing of steel structural components for iron towers mostly adopts a "separate equipment, step-by-step operation" model: the cutting process relies on independent plasma cutting machines, bending requires dedicated hydraulic bending machines, and drilling uses bench drills or radial drills. Workpieces need to be manually transferred between multiple machines and repeatedly clamped and positioned, which not only results in large secondary positioning errors and low processing efficiency, but also requires a large workshop space and has a high proportion of labor costs. Although some existing "integrated processing equipment" integrates multiple processes, they mostly adopt a "translational multi-station" structure, relying on complex guide rails, sliders, and multiple sets of drive cylinders to achieve station switching. This has the disadvantages of many transmission components and high maintenance costs. Moreover, its positioning fixtures are mostly special structures, and the fixtures need to be disassembled and reassembled when changing different specifications of workpieces, resulting in poor adaptability. At the same time, the alignment of the processing head and the workpiece of existing equipment mostly relies on manual calibration, lacking a precise mechanical + sensor dual positioning mechanism, which is prone to processing deviations. Furthermore, there is no integrated design solution for the mold matching of the bending process, the feed control of the drilling process, and the adaptation of multiple specifications of workpieces, making it difficult to meet the processing needs of small batches and multiple specifications of iron tower steel structural components.

[0011] This invention discloses an integrated processing method for cutting, bending, and drilling steel structural components of iron towers. Based on the aforementioned integrated processing equipment for cutting, bending, and drilling steel structural components of iron towers, the method includes the following steps: Step 1, loading and positioning: The steel structural component of the iron tower is placed in the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat. A suitable bending die is assembled according to the bending requirements of the workpiece. The clamping cylinder is activated, and the telescopic end of the clamping cylinder extends to push the movable clamping plate to rotate around the movable axis until the anti-slip rubber pads of the two movable clamping plates are tightly fitted to the outer wall of the steel structural component, thus completing the clamping and fixing of the steel structural component. Simultaneously, according to the processing height of the steel structural component, the telescopic amount of the electric telescopic rod is adjusted so that the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod abuts against the top of the steel structural component, achieving auxiliary positioning. Step 2: The workstation rotates. The rotary motor is started, and the rotary motor drives the rotary spindle to rotate in the rotary bearing housing. The rotary spindle drives the rotary connecting plate and the three cantilever arms to rotate synchronously. When the proximity sensor detects the positioning block of the corresponding cantilever arm, the rotary motor stops working, and the limit pin extends and inserts into the limit hole of the cantilever arm, completing the precise alignment of the first processing station. Step 3, process processing: If the alignment is the plasma cutting head station, adjust the adjustable bracket to match the distance between the plasma cutting head and the workpiece, and start the plasma cutting head to cut the steel structure to the preset size. After cutting, start the rotary motor again, release the limit pin, rotate to the bending cylinder and bending pressure head station and complete the precise positioning. Adjust the downward stroke and holding time of the bending cylinder according to the preset bending angle, start the bending cylinder, and the bending cylinder pushes the bending pressure head to move vertically downward, cooperating with the bending lower die to bend the steel structure at the preset angle. After bending, continue to rotate to the drilling spindle head and drill bit station and complete the precise positioning. Adjust the rotation speed of the drilling spindle head and the downward feed speed of the ball screw feed structure according to the preset hole diameter and hole position, start the drilling spindle head, and the drilling spindle head drives the drill bit to rotate at high speed and feed in the vertical direction to drill the steel structure. Step four: Material unloading and receiving. After the cutting, bending, and drilling processes are completed, shut down all processing components, start the clamping cylinder to retract its telescopic end, and rotate the movable clamp plate in the opposite direction around the movable shaft to release the clamp on the steel structure. At the same time, adjust the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod to retract and release the auxiliary positioning. Finally, remove the processed steel structure from the positioning seat to complete the entire processing process.
[0012] Furthermore, in step three, the cutting speed of the plasma cutting head, the downward stroke and holding time of the bending cylinder, and the rotational speed and downward feed speed of the drilling spindle head are all preset and adjusted according to the material and specifications of the steel structure components of the tower. In each processing step, the electric telescopic rod always maintains auxiliary positioning of the top of the steel structure component to prevent displacement. During the rotation of the cantilever driven by the rotating connecting plate, the three cantilever arms always remain horizontal, and the working ends of the plasma cutting head, bending pressure head, and drill bit are always aligned with the center position of the positioning seat.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By abandoning the complex guide rail and slider structure of traditional translational multi-station, and adopting an integrated architecture of rotary spindle and three cantilever, the cutting, bending and drilling processing heads are integrated into the same equipment. The rotary station switching replaces manual transfer, which shortens the processing time of a single workpiece, reduces the equipment footprint, and reduces transmission components, thereby reducing maintenance costs. The elimination of the complex guide rail and slider structure of traditional translational multi-station enables the integrated rotary station design, which reduces costs, improves efficiency and reduces the footprint. 2. By using movable clamping plates and electric telescopic rods for workpiece clamping and positioning, and with the help of proximity sensors and limit pins for station alignment, the workpiece can complete all processes in one clamping, eliminating the secondary positioning error of traditional separate equipment processing, greatly improving processing accuracy, meeting the assembly requirements of steel tower components, and eliminating positioning errors through dual positioning and one clamping. 3. By designing a U-shaped groove positioning seat and limit adjustment block, a replaceable modular bending lower die, a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable cutting bracket, and a detachable drill bit, it can adapt to commonly used light steel structural components of iron towers without the need to replace special fixtures. It can be adapted to the common light steel structural components of iron towers by simply adjusting and replacing modular components. The mold change time is greatly shortened, improving the practicality of small batch and multi-specification processing scenarios, realizing a modular and adjustable structure to adapt to multi-specification workpieces. 4. The plasma cutting speed, bending cylinder pressure stroke, holding time, drilling spindle speed, and feed speed can all be preset and adjusted according to the workpiece material and specifications. The bending head and lower die are precisely matched, and the drilling spindle has a built-in ball screw feed, ensuring the consistency of processing quality in each process. The standardized processing parameters are designed to adapt to different materials. 5. By incorporating internal reinforcing ribs in the main frame, arranging the supporting columns in a square pattern, and fully welding the cantilever and rotating connecting plate together, the overall rigidity of the equipment is significantly enhanced, the stress generated by processing vibration is dispersed, and the equipment deformation after long-term use is avoided, thereby optimizing structural rigidity and improving processing stability.

The bending cylinder 22 pushes the bending head 23 to move vertically downward, cooperating with the bending die 29 to perform a bending operation on the steel structure at a preset angle. After bending, it continues to rotate to the drilling spindle head 25 and the drill bit 26 position and completes precise positioning. According to the preset hole diameter and hole position, the rotation speed of the drilling spindle head 25 and the downward feed speed of the ball screw feed structure are adjusted. The drilling spindle head 25 is started, and the drilling spindle head 25 drives the drill bit 26 to rotate at high speed and feed in the vertical direction to perform drilling operation on the steel structure. Step four: Material unloading and receiving. After the three processes of cutting, bending, and drilling are completed, all processing components are shut down, the clamping cylinder 9 is activated to retract its telescopic end, the movable clamping plate 7 rotates in the opposite direction around the movable shaft 8 to release the clamping of the steel structure, and at the same time the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 10 is adjusted to retract, the auxiliary positioning is released, and finally the processed steel structure is removed from the positioning seat 6 to complete the entire processing process.
[0030] In step three, the cutting speed of the plasma cutting head 24, the downward stroke and holding time of the bending cylinder 22, and the rotation speed and downward feed speed of the drilling spindle head 25 are all preset and adjusted according to the material and specifications of the steel structure components of the iron tower. In each processing step, the electric telescopic rod 10 always maintains auxiliary positioning of the top of the steel structure component to prevent displacement. During the rotation of the rotating connecting plate 19 driving the cantilever 20 to rotate, the three cantilever 20s always remain horizontal, and the working ends of the plasma cutting head 24, bending pressure head 23, and drill bit 26 are always directly facing the center of the positioning seat 6. The U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6 is provided with a limit adjustment block 30, which is connected to the positioning seat 6 by bolts. By adjusting the position of the limit adjustment block 30, it can adapt to steel structure components of different widths of the iron tower, realizing the fixture-free processing of multi-specification workpieces. Specifically: Step 1: Material loading and positioning, preparation work: According to the material of the steel structure component to be processed, such as Q235 flat steel, specifications, width 50mm, thickness 8mm, and processing requirements, cutting length 300mm, 90° bend, drilling diameter 10mm, hole spacing 50mm, select a suitable 90° bending die 29, and prepare φ10mm drill bit 26.
[0031] Lower die assembly: The 90° bent lower die 29 is fixed to the inner wall of the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6 with bolts, ensuring that the center of the lower die is aligned with the center of the positioning seat 6, and the bolt tightening torque is 30 N·m.
[0032] Limit adjustment: Loosen the T-bolt of the limit adjustment block 30, move the adjustment block to a distance of 50mm between the two blocks to match the width of the workpiece, and then tighten the bolt to fix the position of the adjustment block.
[0033] Workpiece placement: Place the flat steel piece to be processed horizontally in the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6, so that the cutting mark line of the workpiece is aligned with the preset cutting path of the plasma cutting head 24, and the bending position is aligned with the center of the bending lower die 29.
[0034] Clamping and fixing: Start the clamping cylinder 9, adjust the cylinder pressure to 0.5MPa, extend the telescopic end to push the movable clamping plate 7 to rotate around the movable shaft 8 until the anti-slip rubber pads of the movable clamping plates 7 on both sides are tightly attached to the outer wall of the flat steel. At this time, the workpiece does not move laterally.
[0035] Auxiliary positioning: Adjust the extension amount of the electric telescopic rod 10 according to the height of the flat steel piece, so that the rubber top block at the telescopic end abuts horizontally against the top end face of the flat steel piece, and adjust the pressure of the telescopic rod to 0.15MPa to achieve axial auxiliary positioning and prevent longitudinal displacement of the workpiece during processing.
[0036] Step 2: The workstation rotates. The rotary motor 17 is started and the rotational angular velocity is set to 1 rad / s. The rotary motor 17 drives the rotary spindle 16 to rotate within the rotary bearing seat 14, which in turn drives the rotary connecting plate 19 and the three cantilever arms 20 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the three cantilever arms 20 always remain horizontal, and the working ends of the plasma cutting head 24, bending head 23, and drill bit 26 are always directly facing the center position of the positioning seat 6.
[0037] When the rotating cantilever 20 drives the positioning block 27 to move to the detection range of the proximity sensor 18 corresponding to the plasma cutting head 24, the proximity sensor 18 sends an electrical signal to the PLC control system. The control system immediately stops the rotating motor 17 and simultaneously controls the corresponding limit pin 15 to extend and insert into the limit hole 28 of the cantilever 20, thus completing the precise alignment of the cutting station with an alignment error ≤0.03mm.
[0038] Step 3: Processing and Cutting Operation: Based on the material characteristics of Q235 flat steel, the preset cutting speed of the plasma cutting head 24 is 800 mm / min. Adjust the horizontal adjustment slider and vertical adjustment screw of the adjustable bracket 21 to make the distance between the cutting head nozzle and the workpiece surface 5 mm. Start the plasma cutting head 24 and perform the cutting operation along the cutting mark line according to the preset program. During the cutting process, the electric telescopic rod 10 always maintains auxiliary positioning of the top of the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from shifting due to the cutting force. After the cutting is completed, turn off the plasma cutting head 24.
[0039] Bending station switching: The PLC control system controls the limit pin 15 to retract, releases the cutting station lock, and restarts the rotary motor 17, driving the cantilever 20 to rotate to the bending cylinder 22 and bending head 23 station; when the proximity sensor 18 detects the positioning block 27 of the station, the rotary motor 17 stops, the limit pin 15 extends and inserts into the limit hole 28, completing the bending station alignment.
[0040] Bending operation: Based on the thickness of Q235 flat steel of 8mm, the preset downward stroke of bending cylinder 22 is 30mm and the holding time is 5s; when bending cylinder 22 is started, the telescopic end pushes the bending head 23 to move vertically downward, and cooperates with the 90° bending die 29 to apply pressure to the workpiece, so that the workpiece undergoes 90° plastic deformation at the preset position; after the holding time is over, the telescopic end of bending cylinder 22 retracts, and the bending operation is completed.
[0041] Drilling station switching: Release the bending station lock, and the rotary motor 17 drives the cantilever 20 to rotate to the drilling spindle head 25 and drill bit 26 station. After detection by the proximity sensor 18 and locking by the limit pin 15, the drilling station alignment is completed.
[0042] Drilling operation: Based on the φ10mm drill bit and Q235 material, the preset rotational speed of the drilling spindle head 25 is 2500r / min, and the downward feed speed of the ball screw feed mechanism is 60mm / min. The drilling spindle head 25 is started, and the spindle drives the drill bit 26 to rotate at high speed. Simultaneously, the ball screw feed mechanism drives the drill bit to feed vertically downwards, drilling the preset hole positions on the workpiece. When the feed reaches the preset drilling depth of 10mm, the ball screw feed mechanism drives the drill bit 26 to return to its original position, completing the drilling of the first hole. According to the requirement of a hole spacing of 50mm, the above drilling process is repeated to complete the machining of all holes. During the drilling process, the electric telescopic rod 10 remains positioned to prevent workpiece displacement.
[0043] Step 4: Unloading and receiving parts, shutting down all processing components: The PLC control system shuts down the power and air supply to processing components such as the plasma cutting head 24, bending cylinder 22, and drilling spindle head 25.
[0044] Release positioning and clamping: Activate clamping cylinder 9 to retract its telescopic end, causing movable clamping plate 7 to rotate in the opposite direction around movable shaft 8, thereby releasing the lateral clamping of the flat steel piece; adjust the telescopic end of electric telescopic rod 10 to retract, thereby releasing the axial auxiliary positioning.
[0045] Workpiece removal: The finished flat steel piece is manually removed from the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6, and the processing dimensions are checked to see if they meet the requirements.
[0046] Equipment reset: The PLC control system controls the limit pin 15 to retract, and the rotary motor 17 drives the cantilever 20 to rotate to the initial position, ready for the processing of the next workpiece.
[0047] Achieving a high degree of automation throughout the entire process, the processing time for a single workpiece is shortened compared to traditional multi-equipment processing, making it suitable for batch processing needs. With one-time clamping and full-process positioning, the processing dimensional accuracy is controlled within ±0.1mm, bending angle error ≤0.5°, drilling diameter tolerance ≤H7, and hole position error ≤0.2mm, meeting the assembly requirements of steel tower components. Processing parameters can be flexibly preset according to the workpiece material and specifications, adapting to various processing needs such as no bending, bending at different angles, and drilling with different hole diameters, demonstrating strong versatility. The operation process is simplified, requiring only manual loading and unloading, reducing the skill requirements and labor intensity of workers, thus lowering labor costs. In small-batch, multi-specification processing scenarios, mold change and parameter adjustment time is ≤5 minutes, significantly improving production flexibility and solving the pain point of long mold change times in traditional equipment.
[0048] In this invention, the core working logic of this equipment is "one-time clamping + rotary station switching + dual positioning + multi-process integrated processing", and the specific process is as follows: Workpiece clamping stage: Adjust the limit adjustment block 30 of the positioning seat 6 according to the workpiece specifications so that the distance between the two adjustment blocks matches the width of the workpiece; select the bending lower die 29 with the corresponding angle and fix it in the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6 with bolts; place the workpiece in the U-shaped groove of the positioning seat 6 so that the workpiece processing position is aligned with the bending lower die 29; start the clamping cylinder 9, the telescopic end extends and pushes the movable clamping plate 7 to rotate until the anti-slip rubber pad is in close contact with the workpiece, completing the lateral clamping; adjust the extension amount of the electric telescopic rod 10 so that the telescopic end abuts against the top of the workpiece, and achieve axial positioning through the feedback of the pressure sensor, completing one clamping of the workpiece.
[0049] Rotation drive stage: Start the rotary motor 17, and the servo motor drives the rotary spindle 16 to rotate according to the preset program. The rotary spindle 16 drives the rotary connecting plate 19 and the three cantilever arms 20 to rotate synchronously. The square distribution of the support column 12 and the interference fit between the rotary bearing seat 14 and the rotary spindle 16 ensure that the cantilever arms 20 always remain horizontal during the rotation process, and the rotational angular velocity is adjustable.
[0050] Station positioning and locking stage: When the cantilever 20 drives the positioning block 27 to rotate to the detection range of the proximity sensor 18, the proximity sensor 18 sends an electrical signal to the PLC control system. The control system immediately stops the rotating motor 17 and simultaneously controls the corresponding limit pin 15 to extend and insert into the limit hole 28 of the cantilever 20, realizing the dual positioning of "sensor detection positioning + mechanical locking" of the station. The positioning accuracy is ≤0.03mm, ensuring that the processing head and the workpiece are accurately aligned.
[0051] Processing head working stages: Plasma cutting: Adjust the adjustable bracket 21 to make the distance between the nozzle of the plasma cutting head 24 and the workpiece surface 5-8mm. Adjust according to the cutting current, start the plasma cutting power supply, and the cutting head moves along the preset path to complete the cutting operation of the workpiece. The cutting speed is preset according to the workpiece material. The cutting speed of Q235 steel is 600-1000mm / min, and the cutting speed of Q355 steel is 500-800mm / min.
[0052] Bending operation: The bending cylinder 22 extends according to the preset stroke, pushing the bending pressure head 23 to move vertically downward. It works in conjunction with the lower bending die 29 to apply pressure to the workpiece, causing the workpiece to undergo plastic deformation. The pressure holding time is preset to 3-10 seconds according to the workpiece thickness to prevent bending springback. After the pressure holding is completed, the cylinder retracts, completing the bending.
[0053] Drilling operation: The servo motor of the drilling spindle head 25 is started, driving the drill bit 26 to rotate at high speed. The speed is preset according to the drill bit diameter. The speed of the drill bit is 2000-3000 r / min for φ4-φ10mm and 1000-2000 r / min for φ10-φ20mm. At the same time, the ball screw feed mechanism drives the drill bit to feed vertically downward. The feed speed is preset according to the workpiece material. For Q235 steel, it is 50-100 mm / min and for Q355 steel, it is 30-80 mm / min. The drilling operation of the preset hole diameter and hole position is completed. The drilling depth is precisely controlled by the feed rate.
[0054] Station switching stage: After one process is completed, the PLC control system controls the limit pin 15 to retract, releases the station lock, and restarts the rotary motor 17 to drive the cantilever 20 to rotate to the next processing station. The process of "sensor detection - motor stop - mechanical lock" is repeated until all processes are completed.
[0055] It integrates the three major processes of cutting, bending, and drilling, replacing the traditional three separate machines. The equipment occupies a small area, reducing workshop space usage. The entire process is completed in one clamping, eliminating the secondary positioning error of traditional separate equipment processing. The processing accuracy is controlled within ±0.1mm, meeting the assembly requirements of steel tower components. Through the coordinated design of limit adjustment blocks, adjustable brackets, modular bending lower dies, detachable drill bits, and electric telescopic rods, it eliminates the need to replace special fixtures and is suitable for various types of workpieces such as flat steel, angle steel, and channel steel with widths of 20-200mm and thicknesses of 3-15mm. The rotary station switching structure replaces the complex guide rails and sliders of traditional translational multi-station systems, reducing the number of transmission components and lowering maintenance costs. The structural design of reinforcing ribs, square support columns, and fully welded cantilever enhances the rigidity of the equipment, disperses processing vibration stress, and ensures high continuous operation with no significant deformation and high processing stability.
