Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tower structural components, and more specifically, to a bending device for the preparation of tower structural components. Background Technology

[0002] The towers of overhead transmission lines are supporting structures used to support conductors and lightning protection wires. They ensure that the conductors meet the distance requirements to the ground and ground objects, and can withstand the loads of the conductors, lightning protection wires, and themselves, as well as external loads.

[0003] Tower structural components need to be bent during production, but in this patent, workers need to manually move the bending points, which is dangerous and reduces work efficiency.

[0004] A bending device for preparing tower structural components is now provided. Utility Model Content

[0005] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0006] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, some embodiments of this application provide a bending device for preparing tower structural components, comprising: a base; four support rods fixedly connected to mounting seats at the four bottom corners of the base; a mounting frame movably mounted on the base; an adjustment assembly mounted on the base for adjusting the position of the mounting frame; two clamping plates symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame; a moving assembly mounted on the mounting frame for adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates; a fixing assembly mounted on the base for fixing the structural component; a conveying plate fixedly connected to the mounting seats; a feeding assembly mounted on the mounting frame for feeding the structural component; a first cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame; and a bending rod fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first cylinder.

[0007] When bending structural components is required, the component is first placed on the mounting base. Then, the crank handle is turned, causing the disc to rotate, which in turn rotates the bidirectional lead screw. The two opposing threaded grooves on the bidirectional lead screw bring the two clamping plates closer together, clamping and fixing the component. Simultaneously, the second cylinder is activated, causing its output shaft to lower the fixing rod, clamping and fixing the component for subsequent bending. Next, the first cylinder is activated, causing its output shaft to lower the bending plate, bending the component. The first servo motor is also activated, causing its output shaft and first lead screw to rotate, moving the mounting frame and thus the two clamping plates, which in turn move the component. This allows for adjustment of the bending point without manual adjustment, improving efficiency. After bending, the fixing rod rises, releasing the clamping plates. The second servo motor is then activated, causing its output shaft to rotate the second lead screw, moving the unloading rod and ensuring the component is stably unloaded onto the conveyor plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a slide groove, which is formed on the base, and the mounting bracket is slidably mounted on the slide groove. A first lead screw is rotatably mounted between the two inner walls of the slide groove, and the first lead screw is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket. A first servo motor is fixedly connected to the base, and the output shaft of the first servo motor is fixedly connected to the first lead screw.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a sliding cavity, which is opened on the top plate of the mounting frame, and two clamping plates are symmetrically slidably mounted on the sliding cavity. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably mounted between the two inner walls of the sliding cavity, and two threaded grooves with opposite directions on the bidirectional lead screw are respectively threadedly connected to the two clamping plates.

[0010] Furthermore, a disc is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw, and a crank handle is fixedly connected to the centrifugal end of the disc.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing rod, which is disposed above the base, and a second cylinder is fixedly connected to the base, with the output shaft of the second cylinder being fixedly connected to the fixing rod.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two second cylinders, and the two second cylinders are arranged symmetrically.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a feeding rod, which is slidably mounted on a mounting base. A second servo motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a second lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, with the second lead screw threadedly connected to the feeding rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the crank handle is cylindrical.

[0015] Furthermore, two baffles are symmetrically fixed to the conveyor plate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of this application is that it provides a bending device for the preparation of tower structure components. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 A bending device for preparing tower structural components includes: a base 1, support rods 2, mounting base 3, mounting frame 11, adjusting assembly, clamping plates 9, moving assembly, fixing assembly, conveying plate 5, unloading assembly, first cylinder 21, and bending rod 16. Four support rods 2 are fixedly attached to the four bottom corners of the base 1. The mounting base 3 is fixedly attached to the base 1. The mounting frame 11 is movably mounted on the base 1. The adjusting assembly is mounted on the base 1 for adjusting the position of the mounting frame 11. Two clamping plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 11. The moving assembly is mounted on the mounting frame 11 for adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 9. The fixing assembly is mounted on the base 1 for fixing the structural components. The conveying plate 5 is fixedly attached to the mounting base 3. The unloading assembly is mounted on the mounting frame 11 for unloading the structural components. The first cylinder 21 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the mounting frame 11. The bending rod 16 is fixedly attached to the output shaft of the first cylinder 21.

[0032] The adjustment assembly includes a slide 19, which is formed on the base 1. The mounting bracket 11 is slidably mounted on the slide 19. A first lead screw 18 is rotatably mounted between the two inner walls of the slide 19 and is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 11. A first servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the first lead screw 18.

[0033] The adjusting assembly includes a sliding cavity 10, which is located on the top plate of the mounting frame 11. Two clamping plates 9 are symmetrically slidably mounted on the sliding cavity 10. A bidirectional lead screw 8 is rotatably mounted between the two inner walls of the sliding cavity 10, and two threaded grooves with opposite directions on the bidirectional lead screw 8 are threadedly connected to the two clamping plates 9 respectively. A disc 12 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 8, and a crank handle 17 is fixedly connected to the centrifugal end of the disc 12.

[0034] The fixing assembly includes a fixing rod 7, which is positioned above the base 1. A second cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the output shaft of the second cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 7. There are two second cylinders 4, which are symmetrically arranged.

[0035] The feeding assembly includes a feeding rod 14, which is slidably mounted on the mounting base 3. A second servo motor 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 11, and a second lead screw 13 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 11, and the second lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the feeding rod 14.

[0036] The crank handle 17 is cylindrical. Two baffles 6 are symmetrically fixed to the conveyor plate 5.

[0037] Working process: When bending a structural component, first place the component on the mounting base 3. Then, turn the crank handle 17 to rotate the disc 12, causing the double-acting lead screw 8 to rotate. The two oppositely oriented threaded grooves on the double-acting lead screw 8 cause the two clamping plates 9 to move closer together, thus clamping and fixing the component. Simultaneously, the second cylinder 4 can be activated, causing its output shaft to lower the fixing rod 7, further clamping and fixing the component for subsequent bending. Then, the first cylinder 21 can be activated, causing its output shaft to lower the bending plate, further bending the component. The bending process can be initiated by activating the first servo motor 15, which in turn rotates the first lead screw 18 on the output shaft of the first servo motor 15, thereby moving the mounting bracket 11. This causes the two clamping plates 9 to move the structural component, thus adjusting the bending point without requiring manual adjustment by the operator, improving efficiency. After bending, the fixing rod 7 can be raised, and the clamping plates 9 can no longer clamp the structural component. The second servo motor 20 can then be activated, causing the output shaft of the second servo motor 20 to rotate the second lead screw 13, thereby moving the unloading rod 14 and ensuring that the structural component is stably unloaded onto the conveyor plate 5.
