Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive instrument panel tube beam processing technology, specifically a tube bending device for automotive instrument panel tube beam processing. Background Technology

[0002] The car dashboard is an assembly in the driver's cab that houses various indicators, ignition switches, and other components. It is mounted on the instrument panel or as an accessory on the steering column, also known as the car dashboard beam. Depending on the requirements of different cars, the car dashboard beam may need to be bent.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221414573U discloses a bending device for processing automotive instrument panel tube beams, including a base plate, a bending seat at the upper end of the base plate, a mounting plate at one end of the bending seat, and the mounting plate and the bending seat are integrally formed, and a cylinder is provided at the front end of the mounting plate; it also includes: a limiting seat, which is provided on both sides of the upper end of the base plate, and there are two limiting seats, with an upper baffle on the front surface of the upper end of the limiting seat, and the upper baffle and the limiting seat are integrally formed, and a tube beam is provided at the front end of the limiting seat; and a mounting groove, which is provided on the upper surface of the base plate, and the mounting groove and the base plate are integrally formed, and an electric push rod is provided inside the mounting groove.

[0004] The aforementioned bending device for processing automotive instrument panel tube beams still has certain shortcomings. Compared to vertical movement, its forward and backward movement eliminates the need for external fixing devices to secure both ends of the tube beam, reducing costs and making the placement and retrieval of the tube beam quicker and more convenient, thus improving usability. The electric push rod is fixed to the cylinder via a fixed base, and the electric push rod drives the cylinder to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the push rod and the limit seat. It is suitable for tube beams with different bending degrees, improving flexibility. However, it is inconvenient to load materials and it is difficult to achieve automatic loading. Therefore, this application proposes a bending device for processing automotive instrument panel tube beams to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bending device for processing automotive instrument panel tube beams, which has advantages such as automatic feeding and solves the problem of difficulty in achieving automatic feeding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bending device for processing automotive dashboard tube beams, comprising a processing table, a bending seat disposed on the front side of the processing table, a clamping robotic arm, a cylinder, and a bending head fixed to the end of the cylinder output shaft, characterized in that: a triangular seat is fixed to the front side of the processing table by bolts, and a material feeding box is disposed on the front side of the triangular seat, the inside of which is used to store multiple stacked tube beam bodies, a feeding mechanism for horizontal movement of the tube beam bodies is disposed on the back side of the material feeding box, and an adjustment mechanism is disposed on the front side of the processing table.

[0007] Furthermore, the gripping robotic arm is positioned on the left side of the cylinder for unloading the processed pipe beam body, and the bending head is located vertically below the bending seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a motor fixed to the back of the processing table, a connecting plate fixed to the outside of the motor output shaft, a hollow plate sliding on the outside of the connecting plate, an electric clamping device hinged to the end of the hollow plate away from the connecting plate via a hinge shaft, and an extension plate horizontally extending and fixed to the right side of the electric clamping device and near its front end.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning groove is horizontally provided on the front side of the processing table, and the electric clamping device slides horizontally inside the positioning groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the electric clamping device is located on the back side of the conveying box, and the front side of the extension plate is movably attached to the back side of the conveying box.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed plate fixed to the front side of the processing table and near its top, an electric push rod fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate, and two guide columns horizontally fixed to the front side of the processing table.

[0012] Furthermore, the bending seat is fixed to the outside of the electric push rod output shaft, and the bending seat is located at the vertical centerline of the two guide columns.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The bending device for processing automotive dashboard tube beams starts by starting the motor, which causes the electric clamping device to move the tube beam body to the left until the tube beam body is below the two guide pillars. At this point, the bending head holds the tube beam body in place, and the extension plate blocks the outlet of the material box to prevent the tube beam body from continuously feeding, thus facilitating the loading of materials. By starting the electric push rod, the distance of the bending seat can be adjusted vertically to change the degree of bending of the tube beam body. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment of a bending device for processing automotive instrument panel tube beams includes a processing table 1, a bending seat 6 disposed on the front side of the processing table 1, a clamping robotic arm 9, a cylinder 3, and a bending head 5 fixed to the end of the output shaft of the cylinder 3. A triangular seat is fixed to the front side of the processing table 1 by bolts, and a material feeding box 7 is disposed on the front side of the triangular seat, which is used to store multiple stacked tube beam bodies 8. A feeding mechanism 2 for horizontal movement of the tube beam bodies 8 is disposed on the back side of the material feeding box 7, and an adjustment mechanism 4 is disposed on the front side of the processing table 1.

[0023] The gripping robotic arm 9 is located on the left side of the cylinder 3 to unload the processed pipe beam body 8. The bending head 5 is located vertically below the bending seat 6. Multiple pipe beam bodies 8 are vertically stacked inside the conveying box 7 along the front opening. The gripping robotic arm 9 in this application is a conventional material gripping robotic arm in the prior art. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on its principle.

[0024] Please see Figures 2 to 4In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a motor 201 fixed to the back side of the processing table 1. A connecting plate 202 is fixed to the outside of the output shaft of the motor 201. A hollow plate 203 slides on the outside of the connecting plate 202. An electric clamping device 205 is hinged to one end of the hollow plate 203 away from the connecting plate 202 through a hinge shaft. An extension plate 206 is horizontally extended and fixed to the right side of the electric clamping device 205 and near its front end.

[0025] A positioning groove 204 is horizontally opened on the front side of the processing table 1. The electric clamping device 205 slides horizontally inside the positioning groove 204. The electric clamping device 205 is located on the back side of the material box 7. The front side of the extension plate 206 is in contact with the back side of the material box 7, so that the electric clamping device 205 moves to the right. At this time, the bending head 5 continues to move the pipe beam body 8 towards the bending seat 6 to perform bending processing on the pipe beam body 8. After the processing is completed, the clamping robot arm 9 clamps the processed pipe beam body 8 for unloading.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a fixing plate 401 fixed to the front side of the processing table 1 and near its top. An electric push rod 402 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 401. Two guide columns 403 are horizontally fixed on the front side of the processing table 1. The right end of the tube beam body 8 closest to the surface of the processing table 1 is located inside the electric clamping device 205. At this time, the motor 201 can be started, so that the connecting plate 202 drives the hollow plate 203 to rotate counterclockwise to the left, so that the electric clamping device 205 drives the tube beam body 8 to move to the left until the tube beam body 8 moves to the bottom of the two guide columns 403. At this time, the bending head 5 presses against the tube beam body 8, and at the same time, the extension plate 206 blocks the outlet of the feeding box 7 to prevent the tube beam body 8 from continuously feeding.

[0027] The bending seat 6 is fixed to the outside of the output shaft of the electric push rod 402, and the bending seat 6 is located at the vertical centerline of the two guide columns 403. By starting the electric push rod 402, the distance of the bending seat 6 can be adjusted vertically to change the bending degree of the tube beam body 8.

[0028] Understandably, starting the motor 201 causes the electric clamping device 205 to move the tube beam body 8 to the left until the tube beam body 8 moves below the two guide columns 403. At this time, the bending head 5 holds the tube beam body 8 in place, and the extension plate 206 blocks the outlet of the material box 7 to prevent the tube beam body 8 from continuously feeding material, thus facilitating the feeding of material. By starting the electric push rod 402, the bending seat 6 can be vertically adjusted to change the bending degree of the tube beam body 8.

[0029] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply, and all electrical components mentioned are conventional and known devices. This application will not elaborate further. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer that performs control. The control circuit of the main controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. At the same time, any parts of this utility model that are not described in detail are all common technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0032] When using the bending device for processing automotive dashboard tube beams, multiple tube beam bodies 8 are vertically stacked inside the feed box 7 along the front opening of the feed box 7. At this time, the right end of the tube beam body 8 closest to the surface of the processing table 1 is located inside the electric clamping device 205. The motor 201 can then be started, causing the connecting plate 202 to drive the hollow plate 203 to rotate counterclockwise to the left. This causes the electric clamping device 205 to move the tube beam body 8 to the left until the tube beam body 8 is below the two guide posts 403, at which point bending begins. The head 5 holds the main body 8 of the pipe beam in place, while the extension plate 206 blocks the outlet of the feeding box 7 to prevent the main body 8 of the pipe beam from continuously feeding. At this time, the electric clamping device 205 moves to the right. The bending head 5 continues to move the main body 8 of the pipe beam towards the bending seat 6 to perform bending processing on the main body 8 of the pipe beam. After processing, the clamping robot arm 9 clamps the processed main body 8 of the pipe beam for feeding. By starting the electric push rod 402, the bending seat 6 can be vertically adjusted to change the degree of bending of the main body 8 of the pipe beam.
