[0019] 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.
[0020] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Combination Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a high-precision guide structure for an electro-hydraulic bending machine, comprising a guide column 1 fixed on the frame and a slide plate 2 sleeved with the guide column 1. A support plate 21 is provided on one side of the slide plate 2, and sleeve holes 211 are provided at both ends of the support plate 21. A composite guide sleeve 3 is installed on the sleeve holes 211. A hydraulic cylinder 22 is provided in the middle of the support plate 21. The hydraulic cylinder 22 is connected to the frame. The hydraulic cylinder 22 pushes the slide plate 2 to drive the upper mold to move up and down to achieve bending. The composite guide sleeve 3 moves along the guide column 1 to guide the slide plate 2.
[0022] Specifically, the composite guide sleeve 3 includes a self-lubricating bronze bushing 31, a polyurethane elastic layer 32, and a hydraulic compensation structure 33. The self-lubricating bronze bushing 31 includes a support bushing 311 and a guide plate 312. One side of the support bushing 311 is connected to the polyurethane elastic layer 32. The upper and lower ends of the support bushing 311 are respectively connected to the guide plate 312. The guide plate 312 is movably connected to the upper and lower sides of the support plate 21. A limit groove 212 is formed on the support plate 21 near the socket 211. One end of the guide plate 312... A fixed connection limit block 3121 is fixedly connected to a limit groove 212. Under the action of the limit block 3121 and the limit groove 212, the movement path of the guide plate 312 and the support bushing 311 is restricted. The side of the support bushing 311 away from the polyurethane elastic layer 32 contacts the guide post 1, and a lubrication groove 3111 is provided on the side of the support bushing 311 close to the guide post 1. The lubrication groove 3111 is embedded with solid lubricant 3112, and the self-lubrication target is achieved through the solid lubricant 3112.
[0023] More specifically, the interior of the polyurethane elastic layer 32 has a spiral groove 321 with a double spiral structure. The spiral groove 321 has an oil inlet and an oil outlet at both ends, which are connected to the hydraulic compensation structure 33. The hydraulic compensation structure 33 includes an oil chamber, a PLC controller, a micro plunger pump, a proportional pressure valve, and an accumulator. It should be noted that a pressure sensor is installed in the oil chamber to monitor the pressure and send the data to the PLC controller. The micro plunger pump is connected to the proportional pressure valve via a rigid pipe. The micro plunger pump continuously outputs maximum pressure, while the proportional pressure valve reduces the pressure to the working pressure as needed. This design avoids frequent pump starts and stops. When the bending machine requires a large flow rate instantaneously, the proportional pressure valve adjusts its opening based on the pressure sensor feedback to maintain stable pressure. The accumulator instantly replenishes oil, and the oil chamber supplies hydraulic oil to the spiral groove 321. The hydraulic oil pushes the polyurethane elastic layer 32 to deform towards the guide post 1, compensating for wear gaps.
[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, four composite guide sleeves 3 are provided, which respectively fit the four sides of the guide post 1. Each composite guide sleeve 3 has an individual hydraulic compensation structure 33 for hydraulic compensation to ensure guiding accuracy.
[0025] Working process: Hydraulic cylinder 22 pushes slide plate 2 to move up and down along guide post 1. Four composite guide sleeves 3 simultaneously make close contact with the four surfaces of guide post 1. Self-lubricating bronze bushing 31 achieves initial lubrication through solid lubricant 3112. Slide plate 2 reciprocates under the drive of hydraulic cylinder 22. Polyurethane elastic layer 32 provides initial preload to maintain guiding stability. Pressure sensor monitors the pressure changes of each oil chamber in real time. When a pressure drop is detected on one side, it indicates the presence of wear gap. PLC controller issues a command, proportional pressure valve adjusts the pressure of the corresponding oil circuit, and micro plunger pump injects hydraulic oil into polyurethane elastic layer 32 through spiral groove 321. Polyurethane elastic layer 32 expands under pressure, pushing self-lubricating bronze bushing 31 to move towards guide post 1. Accumulator maintains stable pressure to ensure smooth compensation process. Four independent hydraulic compensation structures 33 can be adjusted separately. When uneven load occurs, the system automatically adjusts the compensation amount on each side.
