Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe bending angle control, in particular to a variable bending angle bending device. Background Art

[0002] The bending process is completed in two steps. The first step is to press the hollow tube into a specific bending shape; the second step is to perform internal high pressure forming to bulge the curved corner area of ​​the part to reach the final profile state. Press bending is the most critical process in the production of bent tubes. Conventional press bending methods include Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the tube is placed in the lower mold of the mold, and the upper mold is moved down until the mold is closed. The tube is deformed under pressure until it completely fits the mold cavity, so that the part obtains the specified bending angle θ2; because the mold cavity size is unique, after the part is pressurized, the inner bend is contracted by the pressure material, and the outer bend is stretched by the tension material, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, due to the reversible elasticity of the material, springback θ1<θ2 is generated. Therefore, parts processed by conventional press bending methods cannot fully meet the design angle requirements. The springback can only be compensated by modifying the mold cavity size. However, the springback amount is different for different material strength properties, and the springback compensation value cannot be accurately determined. Press bending springback is a problem that is difficult to solve by conventional press bending methods.

The displacement controller Z170 controls the upward and downward displacement of the lower mold 140 along the Y-axis direction.

[0029] The L support block assembly 150 and the R support block assembly 160 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the lower mold 140 and are slidably connected to the lower mold plate 130 respectively. The L support block assembly 150 and the R support block assembly 160 slide relatively along the X-axis direction.

[0030] When the press-bending device is closed, the tube A is placed between the upper die 120 and the lower die 140 and is squeezed and bent by the upper die 120 and the lower die 140. The L support block assembly 150 and the R support block assembly 160 respectively adjust the curvature of the bending on both sides of the tube A, wherein the tube A can be a round tube, a square tube, an elliptical tube, etc.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the L support block assembly 150 includes: a support block L151, a displacement controller L152 and a support block base L153; wherein, the support block L151 is connected to the support block base L153, ​​the support block base L153 is connected to the lower template 130, and the displacement controller L152 controls the support block base L153 to slide along the X-axis direction.

[0032] The R support block assembly 160 includes: a support block R161, a displacement controller R162 and a support block base R163; wherein the support block R161 is connected to the support block base R163, the support block base R163 is connected to the lower template 130, and the displacement controller R162 controls the support block base R163 to slide along the X-axis direction.

[0033] The displacement controller L152 and the displacement controller R162 can be implemented by using devices such as oil cylinders, air cylinders, and wedging mechanisms. The support block base can be connected through the displacement controller L152 and the displacement controller R162, and the support block base can be slid along the X-axis direction by using devices such as oil cylinders, air cylinders, and wedging mechanisms to extend and retract.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the L support block assembly 150 further includes a rotation axis L154 , and the R support block assembly 160 further includes a rotation axis R164 .

[0035] The support block L151 is rotatably connected to the support block base L153, ​​and the rotation axis L154 controls the inclination angle of the support block L151 relative to the support block base L153; the support block R161 is rotatably connected to the support block base R163, and the rotation axis R164 controls the inclination angle of the support block R161 relative to the support block base R163, so that the inclined surfaces of the support block L151 and the support block R161 can better fit the pipe A.

[0036] Principle of the utility model:

[0037] The bending die of the utility model mainly comprises an upper die 120, a lower die 140, a support block L151, a support block R161, a displacement controller L152, a displacement controller R162 and a displacement controller Z170. The upper mold 120 is fixedly connected to the upper mold plate 110. As the upper mold plate 110 moves up and down, the lower mold 140 is controlled by the displacement controller Z170 to move up and down. The support block L151 and the support block R161 are slidably connected to the lower mold plate 130 through the support block base. The lower mold plate 130 is provided with a guide rail. The lower mold plate 130 and the support block base form a sliding combination. The support block base L153 and the support block base R163 can slide along the guide rail of the lower mold plate 130 along the X-axis direction. The displacement controller L152 and the displacement controller R162 control the sliding position of the support block L151 and the support block R161 respectively. The rotating shaft L154 adjusts the inclination angle of the support block L151 and the support block base L153 according to the bending requirements and locks them. The rotating shaft R164 adjusts the inclination angle of the support block R161 and the support block base R163 according to the bending requirements and locks them.

[0038] In the mold opening state, the lower mold 140 and the upper mold 120 are separated, and the displacement controller Z170 controls the lower mold 140 to move upward, the lower mold 140 is lifted up, and the pipe A is placed in the lower mold 140; after the pipe A is placed, the bending operation begins, and the displacement controller L152 and the displacement controller R162 push the support block L151 and the support block R161 forward to the set position respectively; the hydraulic press moves downward to drive the upper mold plate 110 and the upper mold 120 to press downward, and the displacement controller Z170 is The lower die 140 provides a force from bottom to top, so that the upper die 120 and the lower die 140 fit and clamp the middle area of ​​the pipe A to prevent wrinkles and deformation at the highest point of the middle bend; the support blocks L151 and R161 on both sides rotate with the force and always fit with the outer surface of the pipe A; the hydraulic press drives the upper die 120 downward, and the displacement controller Z170 controls the lower die 140 to move downward to the set end position, and the pipe A is bent in place; the hydraulic press returns, and the bending step of the pipe A is completed.

[0039] The support block L151 and the support block R161 are set by sliding, and the positions of the support blocks L151 and R161 determine the size of the bending angle. If the support blocks L151 and R161 are relatively far away from each other, the bending angle of the tube A becomes larger, and if the support blocks L151 and R161 are relatively close to each other, the bending angle of the tube A becomes smaller. The lower mold 140 is controlled to move up and down by the displacement controller Z170, and the downward end position of the lower mold 140 determines the size of the bending angle, and the lower the lower mold 140 moves, the larger the bending angle becomes.
