Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel formwork bending technology, specifically to an auxiliary bending fixture for steel formwork. Background Technology
[0002] In current industrial production, traditional tooling designs for bending steel formwork often rely on operators manually pressing the handle and pushing the metal plate in to complete multiple bending processes.
[0003] Chinese patent CN222535976U discloses a metal plate bending fixture. One end of the metal plate is inserted between bending plates. Pressing the handle rotates a rotating disc, allowing the metal plate to be bent using two sets of bending plates. When the rotating plates reach a certain angle, a fixed rod engages with a limiting block, which limits the rotation angle of the rotating plates, keeping the bending degree within a set range. The handle is then released. This manual operation mode significantly increases the operator's workload. Furthermore, the frequent repetitive actions during actual operation easily introduce human error, negatively impacting bending consistency and overall quality. While existing fixtures use limiting blocks to precisely control the rotating disc's angle, effectively controlling the bending degree, wear on mechanical parts gradually increases over time, leading to decreased bending accuracy and ultimately affecting the bending quality of the steel template. Utility Model Content

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an auxiliary bending fixture for steel templates, comprising: a work plate 1, a support device located at the lower right corner of the work plate 1, a limiting device located above the work plate 1, a bending device located in the middle of the work plate 1, and a stepper motor 7 located behind the work plate 1 and connected to the bending device; the bending device includes: a turntable 307 located above the work plate 1, the output shaft of the stepper motor 7 passing through the work plate 1 and fixedly connected to the center of the turntable 307, symmetrically opened grooves 308 on the turntable 307, and a V-shaped bending device slidably connected within the upper groove 308. A bending plate 301 is located in the lower slide groove 308 and slidably connected to a U-shaped bending plate 303. A connecting rod 302 is spirally connected to the V-shaped bending plate 301 and the U-shaped bending plate 303. A fixing rod 306 is fixed to one side of the turntable 307. An encoder 305 is located at one end of the fixing rod 306 and fixed to the turntable 307. Through the above scheme, the bending device is driven by a stepper motor 7, which realizes precise control of the bending process, avoids problems such as uneven force and angle deviation that may occur in traditional manual operation, and enhances the stability and reliability of operation.
[0025] The aforementioned limiting device includes: an arc-shaped groove 501 formed above the turntable 307; multiple threaded holes 504 formed inside the arc-shaped groove 501; a limiting block 502 slidably connected within the arc-shaped groove 501; a bolt rod spirally connected between the limiting block 502 and the threaded holes 504; and a fixing nut 503 fixed behind the limiting block 502. Through the above scheme, effective limiting of steel templates of different specifications can be achieved. Adjustments can be made according to the actual size and shape of the steel template 1000 to ensure that the steel template maintains the correct position and posture during the bending process, thereby enhancing the stability of the bending process.
[0026] The aforementioned support device includes: a fixed frame 203 located at the lower right corner of the working plate 1; a support rod 202 slidably connected inside the fixed frame 203; and a first threaded rod 201 located inside the fixed frame 203. The first threaded rod 201 is spirally connected to the support rod 202. Through the above scheme, the lateral position of the support rod 202 can be precisely adjusted, ensuring the stability of the support rod 202 during the bending process. It also effectively prevents the steel template 1000 from deforming or being damaged due to insufficient support during bending.
[0027] The aforementioned support rod 202 includes an outer layer and an inner layer. A ball screw 205 is installed on the side of the outer layer. Through the above scheme, the precise transmission of the ball screw 205 ensures the accuracy of the support rod 202 when adjusting its height, thereby improving the precision and positioning capability of the entire tooling.
[0028] The aforementioned support platform is equipped with a pressure sensor 204. Through the above scheme, the supporting force of the support platform on the steel formwork is monitored in real time to ensure that the steel formwork 1000 receives sufficient support during the bending process and to avoid deformation or damage caused by insufficient support.
[0029] The encoder 305, pressure sensor 204, and stepper motor 7 are all electrically connected to the controller. Optionally, the controller can integrate a display, control buttons, touch screen, etc., and the controller can be a Siemens PLC or similar controller. For example, in one embodiment, the operator needs to operate the controller to set the bending angle, which is then fed to the stepper motor 7. The stepper motor 7 drives the turntable 307 to rotate. The encoder 305 and pressure sensor 204 monitor the bending angle and support force in real time, improving the automation level of the tooling.
[0030] The slide groove 308 is internally rotatably connected to a second threaded rod 304. The second threaded rod 304 is connected to the V-shaped bending plate 301 in a right-handed manner, and to the U-shaped bending plate 303 in a left-handed manner. By rotating the second threaded rod 304, the movement distance of the V-shaped bending plate 301 and the U-shaped bending plate 303 within the slide groove 308 can be precisely controlled, realizing symmetrical movement of the two sets of bending plates, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the bending angle and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the bending angle.
[0031] A cooling fan 6 is provided on one side of the turntable 307. The cooling fan 6 is connected to the working plate 1 by a damping shaft. Through the above solution, the working temperature of the turntable 307 and its nearby electronic components is significantly reduced, effectively preventing performance degradation or failure due to overheating, thereby extending the service life of the entire bending fixture.
[0032] The V-angle of the aforementioned V-shaped bending plate 301 is 60°. Through the above scheme, it is ensured that a suitable bending radius and angle are provided during the bending process, thereby optimizing the bending effect and making the bent steel formwork 1000 have better strength and stability to meet specific engineering requirements.
[0033] The maximum included angle between the aforementioned fixing rod 306 and the arc groove 501 is 92°~94°. By setting a springback angle of 2°~4° through the above scheme, a more precise fit is ensured during installation and positioning, which helps to reduce installation difficulties or inaccurate positioning caused by angular deviations and improves the overall stability and reliability of the tooling.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] Based on the actual size and shape of the steel template 1000, a sliding limit block 502 is slidably positioned within the arc-shaped groove 501 above the turntable 307. A bolt rod is then screwed into the threaded hole 504 within the arc-shaped groove 501 to fix the position of the limit block 502. A fixing nut 503 further reinforces this position. Rotating the first threaded rod 201 within the fixing frame 203 precisely adjusts the lateral position of the support rod 202. The ball screw 205 on the outer side of the support rod 202 provides precise transmission, accurately adjusting the height of the support rod 202. One end of the steel template is gradually placed on top of the pressure sensor 204, passing between the V-shaped bending plate 301 and the U-shaped bending plate 303. Rotating the second threaded rod 304 within the slide groove 308 adjusts the distance between the two sets of bending plates, clamping them tightly.
[0036] The operator selects the bending angle by setting the controller, and the signal is output to the stepper motor 7. The stepper motor 7 drives the turntable 307 of the bending device to rotate, which in turn moves the V-shaped bending plate 301 and the U-shaped bending plate 303 on it, so that the two sets of bending plates bend the steel template 1000. When the turntable 307 rotates to a certain angle, the fixed rod 306 will connect with the limit block 502. The limit block 502 further limits the rotation angle of the turntable 307, keeping the bending degree of the two sets of bending plates on the steel template 1000 within the set range. After the steel template 1000 is bent, the stepper motor 7 reverses and rotates the turntable 307 back to the original position, and continues to advance the steel template 1000, repeating the above operation to bend the steel template 1000 into a shape with a preset angle. The cooling fan 6 on one side of the turntable 307 is connected to the work plate 1 via a damping shaft, which can reduce the operating temperature of the turntable 307 and its nearby electronic components, prevent performance degradation or failure caused by overheating, and extend the service life of the tooling.
