Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Portal and its top bar technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machining door bodies, and specifically a gate and its top bar. Previous art
[0002] With rising living standards, increasing importance is being placed on home design, and wrought iron gates are increasingly used in design. Wrought iron gates not only possess a relatively high degree of aesthetic appeal but are also relatively strong. For these reasons, wrought iron gates are increasingly used in residential settings, serving as gateways to the house and offering a satisfactory degree of aesthetics, thus increasing the overall aesthetic appeal of the building. The crossbars of wrought iron gates currently on the market are generally square tube structures. During machining, the necessary length of square tube must be cut, and then specialized equipment must be used to obtain the desired curvature. Elastic deformations occur during the bending process.This results in a relatively large machining difference between the square tube after bending and the other square tube after bending, which affects the aesthetic appearance of the gate and leads to a high rate of product waste.
