Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending machine safety technology, and in particular to a special safety light curtain bracket for the upper and lower beams of a bending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Safety light curtains prevent danger to bending machine operators caused by the rapid movement of the machine tool beam. A pair of transmitters and receivers form laser beams in the area below the blade tip, thus creating a detection area along the length of the bending machine by a single laser beam.

[0003] Traditional safety light curtain devices are mostly installed on the upper beam, limiting installation options; they lack vertical adjustment guide rails, making it impossible to accommodate minor deviations in the installation surface and hindering light calibration; and the high resistance during vertical adjustment can easily cause wear and tear on some parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that traditional safety light curtain devices are basically installed on the upper beam, with limited installation options; they lack vertical adjustment guide rails, making it impossible to adapt to minor deviations caused by the installation surface, which is inconvenient for light calibration; and the resistance during vertical adjustment is high, which can easily cause wear and tear on some parts.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a special safety light curtain bracket for the upper and lower beams of a bending machine, including a laser safety protection installation sheet metal. A guide rail profile is fixedly assembled on the upper end of the laser safety protection installation sheet metal. A guide rail is bolted to the side wall of the guide rail profile. A slider mounting base plate is slidably assembled on the outer side of the guide rail. A mounting base plate connecting profile is fixed on the outer side of the slider mounting base plate. A bracket base is bolted to the outer side of the mounting base plate connecting profile. A locking mechanism is installed on the side wall of the slider mounting base plate below the mounting base plate connecting profile.

[0006] A light curtain scale is fixedly installed on the side wall of the guide rail profile.

[0007] The slider mounting base plate has a fixedly installed sheet metal indicator that bends towards the light curtain scale.

[0008] The top of the guide rail profile is bolted with a guide rail profile sealing plate.

[0009] The upper and lower ends of the guide rail are both fixedly equipped with slider limiting blocks.

[0010] The locking mechanism includes a sheet metal limiting block movably mounted on the slider mounting base plate and a locking handle for controlling the sheet metal limiting block.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) The installation options of the special safety light curtain bracket for the upper and lower beams of the bending machine of this utility model are increased. It can be installed on the upper or lower beam of the bending machine according to the needs, and its application is flexible.

[0013] (2) It has the ability to automatically adjust itself, which can adapt to the slight deviation of the mounting surface and ensure the continuity and accuracy of the movement;

[0014] (3) Through precise design and manufacturing, the guide rail can achieve low-friction linear motion, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and operational stability of mechanical equipment;

[0015] (4) The guide rail is used to support and guide the moving parts, ensuring that they reciprocate linearly in a predetermined direction. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" 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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shows a special safety light curtain bracket for the upper and lower beams of a bending machine, comprising a laser safety protection mounting sheet metal 1, a guide rail profile 2 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the laser safety protection mounting sheet metal 1, a guide rail 3 bolted to the side wall of the guide rail profile 2, a slider mounting base plate 4 slidably mounted on the outer side of the guide rail 3, a mounting base plate connecting profile 5 fixed to the outer side of the slider mounting base plate 4, a bracket base 6 bolted to the outer side of the mounting base plate connecting profile 5, and a locking mechanism installed on the side wall of the slider mounting base plate 4 below the mounting base plate connecting profile 5.

[0022] For convenient and intuitive display and adjustment, a light screen scale 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the guide rail profile 2.

[0023] To visually display the adjustment values, an indicator sheet metal 8 that bends towards the light curtain scale 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slider mounting base plate 4.

[0024] To accommodate the top sealing, the top of the guide rail profile 2 is bolted with a guide rail profile sealing plate 9.

[0025] To facilitate end-positioning, slider limit fixing blocks 10 are fixedly installed at both the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 3.
