[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of the present utility model, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.
[0023] It can be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more". That is, in one embodiment, the number of one element can be one, and in other embodiments, the number of this element can be multiple. The term "one" should not be construed as limiting the quantity.
[0024] As Figures 1 - 5 described, the present utility model provides a robot loading pipe bender, which includes a robot loader 1, a material bin 2 arranged on one side of the robot loader 1, and a pipe bending component 3 arranged on one side of the robot loader 1. A clamping component is rotatably arranged at the feeding end of the robot loader 1, so that the robot loader 1 feeds the pipe fittings 4 in the material bin 2 to the pipe bending component 3, the robot loader 1 performs axial feeding on the pipe fittings 4, and the clamping component adjusts the bending angle of the pipe fittings 4.
[0025] The robot loader directly feeds the pipe fittings from the material bin to the pipe bending component, and performs axial feeding on the pipe fittings through the robot loader. Cooperating with the clamping component to adjust the bending angle of the pipe fittings, it is not necessary to set up a structure for feeding the pipe fittings and axially rotating the pipe fittings in the pipe bending component of this solution. Instead, the robot loader directly replaces the axial feeding and axial rotation of the pipe fittings, so as to reduce the occupied space and cost of the overall equipment, and at the same time make the cooperation between the robot loader and the pipe bending component closer, thereby ensuring that the feeding and unloading process of the pipe fittings is more convenient and efficient.
[0026] In an embodiment of this solution, the robot loader adopts a six-axis robot. Through the combined use of six axes, the robot can stably perform operations such as loading and unloading and axial feeding of the pipe fittings.
[0027] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a rotating turntable 11 and a plurality of jaws 12 movably arranged on the turntable 11. When the plurality of jaws 12 are closed, the pipe fitting 4 is clamped. When the turntable 11 rotates, the pipe fitting 4 rotates along its axis.
[0028] Specifically, when loading the pipe fitting, the feeding end of the robotic loader moves to one of the pipe fittings in the bin, and the jaws clamp and pick up the end of the pipe fitting. Subsequently, the robotic loader drives the other end of the pipe fitting to move to the bending component for loading, enabling the robotic loader to perform axial feeding and conveying of the pipe fitting. Meanwhile, when the pipe fitting is being bent, the pipe fitting can be driven to rotate along its axis by rotating the turntable, so that the bending direction of the pipe fitting can be adjusted by the turntable.
[0029] In an embodiment of this solution, the plurality of jaws can be uniformly controlled for clamping and releasing actions through a hydraulic cylinder, and the rotation angle of the turntable can be controlled by a servo motor.
[0030] Preferably, the bending component 3 includes a main body 31, a bending shaft 32 rotatably arranged on one side of the main body 31, and a swing arm 33 connected to the bending shaft 32. A plurality of circular dies 34 are arranged at the end of the bending shaft 32, and a plurality of clamping dies 35 corresponding to the circular dies 34 are movably arranged on the side of the swing arm 33, so that when the pipe fitting 4 is bent, the bending position of the pipe fitting 4 is placed between one of the circular dies 34 and the corresponding clamping die 35.
[0031] Specifically, when the robotic loader loads the pipe fitting onto the bending component, the bending position of the pipe fitting is placed between the circular die and the clamping die. At this time, the clamping die moves closer to the circular die, so that the clamping die and the circular die cooperate to clamp and fix the bending position of the pipe fitting. Subsequently, the bending shaft rotates, driving the swing arm to rotate along the axis of the bending shaft, and further driving the circular die and the clamping die to bend the bending position of the pipe fitting. After the processing at this bending position is completed, the clamping die moves back in the reverse direction to reset, enabling the pipe fitting to be taken out or the bending position and direction of the pipe fitting to be adjusted by the robotic loader in cooperation with the turntable for subsequent bending operations.
[0032] In an embodiment of this solution, the bending shaft is controlled to rotate by a servo motor.
[0033] Preferably, a clamping die seat 36 is movably arranged on the side of the swing arm 33, and a plurality of clamping dies 35 are sequentially arranged on the side of the clamping die seat 36 close to the circular die 34.
[0034] Specifically, when the clamping die needs to move to clamp or move away from the pipe fitting, the clamping die seat moves relative to the swing arm, driving the plurality of clamping dies to move synchronously to ensure clamping or releasing of the pipe fitting.
[0035] Among them, a moving track is connected between the clamping die base and the swing arm, and the clamping die base is controlled by a servo motor to reciprocate relative to the moving track.
[0036] Preferably, a secondary pushing seat 37 is movably arranged on one side of the main machine 31, and a number of profiling dies 38 are sequentially arranged on the side of the secondary pushing seat 37, so that when the pipe fitting 4 is bent, the side of the pipe fitting 4 is placed in one of the profiling dies 38.
[0037] Specifically, after the position of the pipe fitting to be bent is clamped by the clamping die and the circular die, the secondary pushing seat drives a number of profiling dies to move to the side of the pipe fitting, so that one of the profiling dies fits against the side position of the pipe fitting. Furthermore, when the pipe fitting is bent, the profiling die can abut against the side of the pipe fitting to prevent the overall deviation of the pipe fitting, thereby enhancing the bending effect of the pipe fitting.
[0038] Among them, the profiling die is located at the outer edge of the bent pipe fitting, so that when the pipe fitting deviates outward during bending, it can be positioned by the profiling die.
[0039] In an embodiment of this solution, a moving track is arranged between the secondary pushing seat and the main machine, and the secondary pushing seat is controlled by a servo motor to reciprocate relative to the moving track.
[0040] Preferably, a moving plate 39 is arranged on one side of the main machine 31, and the main machine 31 and the moving plate 39 are movably matched through a horizontally arranged first guide rail 310. The side of the moving plate 39 away from the main machine 31 is movably matched with a vertically arranged second guide rail 311.
[0041] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust and use different circular dies, clamping dies, and profiling dies, the main machine moves horizontally along the first guide rail, and the moving plate moves vertically along the second guide rail, so that the main machine can move to any position in the plane direction under the combined action of the first guide rail and the second guide rail. Furthermore, it is ensured that the main machine can drive the circular die, the clamping die, and the profiling die to be switched for use to meet the bending requirements of pipe fittings of different specifications.
[0042] Among them, the main machine moves relative to the first guide rail and the moving plate moves relative to the second guide rail, both of which are controlled by a servo motor in cooperation with a lead screw drive.
[0043] Preferably, a number of jacks 21 are provided at the magazine 2, and the pipe fittings 4 to be processed are vertically inserted into the jacks 21, and there is a clamping space between adjacent jacks 21.
[0044] Specifically, through the arrangement of the jacks, the pipe fittings can be stably inserted into the jacks for temporary storage. Moreover, since there is a clamping space between adjacent jacks, when the robotic loader drives the gripper to move to the magazine, the gripper can stably pick up the pipe fittings through the clamping space.
[0045] Preferably, it further includes a main frame 5, on which there are a platform area 51 and a bin area 52. The robot loader 1 is placed at the platform area 51, and the bin 2 is placed at the bin area 52.
[0046] Specifically, the platform area is used to limit and support the robot loader to ensure the stable setting of the robot loader. At the same time, the bin area is used to limit the placement position of the bin to ensure the stable relative position between the robot loader and the bin, thereby improving the picking accuracy of the robot loader.
[0047] Preferably, a material supporting component 6 is arranged between the robot loader 1 and the pipe bending component 3. The material supporting component 6 includes a material supporting seat 61 arranged in a lifting manner and a material supporting wheel 62 rotatably arranged on one side of the material supporting seat 61, so that when the robot loader 1 feeds the pipe fitting 4 to the pipe bending component 3, the lower side of the pipe fitting 4 is supported on the material supporting wheel 62.
[0048] Specifically, when the robot loader picks up the pipe fitting, it clamps and picks up one end of the pipe fitting. When feeding the pipe fitting to the pipe bending component, the other end of the pipe fitting is placed between the clamping die and the circular die. Therefore, when bending a longer pipe fitting, the unclamped end of the pipe fitting will droop downward to a certain extent. To avoid the situation that the bending effect of the pipe fitting becomes worse due to the drooping of the pipe fitting, a material supporting component is set in this solution, so that when one end of the pipe fitting is clamped between the clamping die and the circular die, the other end can be supported on the material supporting wheel, so that the pipe fitting will not droop downward, thereby improving the bending effect of the pipe fitting.
[0049] At the same time, due to the lifting arrangement of the material supporting seat, the material supporting wheel can be lifted synchronously with the material supporting seat, and thus can be adjusted to a suitable material supporting height according to different specifications of the pipe fitting.
[0050] In an embodiment of this solution, the material supporting seat is controlled to lift by a cylinder, and a rotating shaft is arranged between the material supporting wheel and the material supporting seat to ensure the stable rotation of the material supporting wheel.
[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above best implementation mode. Anyone can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as it has a technical solution identical or similar to the present application, it falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
