AI Technical Summary
Existing aluminum tube bending devices are prone to causing the aluminum tube to dent, deform, and dislocate at the bend during the bending process, which affects its service life.
The design employs a combination of protective and limiting components. The protective components are inserted into the aluminum tube via chain-connected protective blocks, while the limiting components restrict the position of the aluminum tube via elastic fixing discs to prevent deformation and dislocation during bending.
This effectively prevents the aluminum tube from collapsing, deforming, and dislodging at the bend during bending, thus improving the forming accuracy and service life of the aluminum tube.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum processing, and more specifically, it relates to a bending device for aluminum profile processing. Background Technology

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] A bending device for aluminum profile processing, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a lower mold 2 fixedly connected to the base 1, an aluminum tube 3 placed on the lower mold 2, several electric push rods 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1, and an upper mold 5 fixedly connected to the several electric push rods 4. The aluminum tube 3 is provided with a protective component to prevent excessive twisting inside the aluminum tube 3. The lower mold 2 is provided with a limiting component to restrict the aluminum tube 3. The protective component includes several protective blocks 6 detachably connected inside the aluminum tube 3 and a limiting ball 7 fixedly connected to one end of the protective block 6. The other end of the protective block 6 is provided with a spherical groove 8 into which the limiting ball 7 can be inserted. Adjacent protective blocks 6 can be rotatably fitted into the spherical groove 8 of the previous protective block 6 through the limiting ball 7 on the subsequent protective block 6 to form a chain connection. The upper mold 5 is provided with a driving component to drive the movement of the protective blocks 6. The driving component includes a motor 9 fixedly connected to the upper mold 5, a winding drum 10 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 9, and a connecting rope 11 wound on the winding drum 10. The other end of the connecting rope 11 is fixedly connected to the first protective block 6 located at the end of the chain connection.
[0023] like Figures 1-5As shown, when bending the aluminum tube 3, first connect the aluminum tube 3 to the limiting component, then start the motor 9 to release the connecting rope 11 according to the bending position, and place several protective blocks 6 into the aluminum tube 3. Next, start the electric push rod 4 to retract. During the retraction of the electric push rod 4, the connecting rope 11 will no longer pull the protective blocks 6, and the protective blocks 6 will slide downwards due to gravity. Then, as the electric push rod 4 continues to retract, the upper mold 5 will come into contact with the aluminum tube 3, bending the aluminum tube 3. When the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 2 come into contact with each other, the aluminum tube 3 is bent. During the bending process, the limiting balls 7 on the protective blocks 6 will rotate in the adjacent spherical grooves 8, that is... Several protective blocks 6, connected in a chain, are bent together with the aluminum tube 3. During the bending process, the inner wall of the aluminum tube 3 will always be in contact with the protective blocks 6, thus preventing the aluminum tube 3 from collapsing or deforming at the bend. After confirming that the bending is complete, the motor 9 is started to wind the connecting rope 11. At this time, several protective blocks 6 will be pulled out from the aluminum tube 3. During the pulling process, if there are any small dents in the aluminum tube 3, they will be smoothed out by the protective blocks 6. When several protective blocks 6 are no longer in contact with the aluminum tube 3, the electric push rod 4 can be started to extend the tube. At this time, the upper mold 5 will no longer be in contact with the aluminum tube 3. Then, the aluminum tube 3 and the limiting components are separated and the aluminum tube 3 is removed to complete the bending operation.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, a positioning disc 12 is slidably connected to the connecting rope 11. The positioning disc 12 has elastic deformation capability. After the limiting component is connected to the aluminum tube 3, the positioning disc 12 is inserted into the other end of the aluminum tube 3, which makes it easier to remove the connecting rope 11. A hemispherical block 13 is fixedly connected to the tail end protection block 6 at the end of the chain connection, which makes it easier for the several protection blocks 6 of the chain connection to enter the aluminum tube 3.
[0025] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the limiting components include a positioning frame 14 connected to the lower mold 2, a positioning rod 15 fixedly connected to the positioning frame 14, a positioning block 16 rotatably connected to the positioning rod 15, and a fixing plate 17 fixedly connected to the positioning block 16. The fixing plate 17 has elastic deformation capability. When it is necessary to limit the aluminum tube 3, the positioning plate 12 is rotated first and then inserted into one end of the aluminum tube 3. Subsequently, the fixing plate 17 will expand and reset and come into contact with the aluminum tube 3. At this time, when bending, the fixing plate 17 will rotate with the deformed aluminum tube 3 to limit the aluminum tube 3 in real time and prevent the aluminum tube 3 from dislodging during the bending process.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, torsion springs 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the positioning block 16. The other ends of the two torsion springs 18 are fixedly connected to the positioning frame 14. The torsion springs 18 are sleeved on the positioning rod 15. When the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 2 are in contact with each other, the fixing plate 17 will rotate. At this time, the torsion spring 18 is in a deformed state. When the bent aluminum tube 3 is removed, the fixing plate 17 is no longer restricted by the aluminum tube 3, and the torsion spring 18 will reset, making it convenient for the fixing plate 17 to connect with the new aluminum tube 3.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the positioning frame 14 is slidably connected to the lower mold 2. The lower mold 2 is threaded with a threaded rod 19, which is rotatably connected to the positioning frame 14. When it is necessary to bend the aluminum tube 3 at different positions, the threaded rod 19 can be rotated to make the positioning frame 14 slide on the lower mold 2, thereby driving the fixed plate 17 to move, thus improving the adaptability of the device.
[0028] Working principle: When the aluminum tube 3 needs to be bent, first connect the aluminum tube 3 to the fixed plate 17, then rotate the threaded rod 19 according to the required bending position of the aluminum tube 3, and then start the motor 9 to release the connecting rope 11 according to the bending position, and put several protective blocks 6 into the aluminum tube 3. Then start the electric push rod 4 to retract. During the retraction of the electric push rod 4, the connecting rope 11 will no longer pull the protective blocks 6, and the protective blocks 6 will slide downward due to gravity. Then, as the electric push rod 4 continues to retract, the upper mold 5 will come into contact with the aluminum tube 3 and bend the aluminum tube 3. When the upper mold 5 and the lower mold 2 come into contact with each other, the aluminum tube 3 is bent. During the bending process, the limiting balls 7 on several protective blocks 6 will rotate in the adjacent spherical grooves 8. That is, the several protective blocks 6, which are connected in a chain, will bend together with the aluminum tube 3. At this time, the inner wall of the aluminum tube 3 will always be in contact with the protective blocks 6 during the bending process, so as to avoid the aluminum tube 3 from being dented and deformed at the bending point. After confirming that the bending is complete, start the motor 9 to wind the connecting rope 11. At this time, several protective blocks 6 will be pulled out from the aluminum tube 3. During the pulling process, if there is a slight dent in the aluminum tube 3, it will be smoothed out by the protective blocks 6, and the positioning plate 12 will be pushed out by the protective blocks 6 and will no longer be in contact with the aluminum tube 3. When several protective blocks 6 are no longer in contact with the aluminum tube 3, the electric push rod 4 can be started to extend. At this time, the upper mold 5 will no longer be in contact with the aluminum tube 3. Then, separate the aluminum tube 3 and the fixing plate 17 and remove the aluminum tube 3 to complete the bending operation.
