Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet metal bending device according to the introductory part of claim 1.
  • a sheet metal bending device For example, from the US 3 044 526 A or W092 / 16319 A it is known in one Sheet metal bending device vertically up and down a punch to be arranged movably in a machine frame, and below of which in the machine frame two lower bending dies by one horizontal axis to be pivoted. Thereby bring with this Type of bending device the lower punch the Bending work on pivoting while the upper one Bending punch locked in the working position on the sheet or is determined and acts as a counter stamp.
  • the counter-bending punch can be locked for example via a self-locking spindle drive (W092 / 16319 A) or with a pressure cylinder drive Knee lever joint (US 3 044 526 A) are accomplished.
  • the known locking devices are in this respect of Disadvantage than for a self-locking spindle drive upper punch after a locking a release of the self-locking is often difficult again, which is why shaking or the like are required; and in the case of the impression cylinder drive with toggle joint locking in only one at a time certain working position is possible. If with others Another working position for the upper punch a complex adjustment mechanism is required be provided and activated, because that Toggle joint no locking or locking of the upper Bending punch in different vertical positions of the same enables.
  • DE 22 09 884 A also describes a cutting press, during which one of the drive movements during cutting counteracting braking force applied to the press ram becomes. It is a movement brake with which kinetic energy converted into thermal energy by sliding friction becomes.
  • the brake is actuated via a Hydraulics, at a specific point in time Work process, namely the so-called "breakthrough", as well the subsequent release of the brake, and such braking activity is typical of crank or eccentric presses like that known cutting press, but is not suitable for locking a counter-bending punch, in which a very small one Movement relative to the side stands for the bending process would be extremely disadvantageous, as this increases the distance change between the bending tools and thus the bending accuracy would worsen. It would therefore be for the present one Locking device very essential that a real "standstill brake" is present.
  • the DD 85 047 A finally shows a locking device, one with a toothed tab against one with a corresponding toothing surface of the stand of Bending machine is tightened.
  • a bolt is included Screw nut provided. It is essential that the toothing is arranged transversely to the action of force, with friction conditions does not matter.
  • the adjustment range is through the Limited tooth pitch. In the event of a change in the position of the Bending beams have to do numerous work steps become.
  • the sheet metal bending device With such a design of the sheet metal bending device it is possible to use the punch in a wide range Hold positions quickly and safely and nonetheless to release again quickly. It is in itself - for example in the case of smaller sheet metal bending devices - definitely conceivable, the brake rails on the bending punch - in particular on its longitudinal side edges parallel to the direction of movement - to be firmly attached, whereas the brake shoes together with the corresponding Drive in the area of the side guides, usually the side stand of the machine frame, movably housed can be. This can be done with regard to that in the machine frame mostly cheaper space can be quite useful. However, it is particularly preferred according to the invention if the movable Brake shoes are stored on the punch, whereas the Brake rails stationary on the side guides or side stands be attached.
  • joint rods can be used as rigid, massive levers (two-joint rods) be articulated in a bearing on the punch, the Positions of the articulation points according to the respective circumstances, but especially in the sense of being as efficient as possible Initiation of forces can be selected.
  • the Joint rods at an angle to the direction of movement of the bending die e.g. at an angle between 40 ° and 50 °, in particular 45 °, preferably 48 °, have longitudinal axis.
  • a relatively light running linkage is provided, the is coupled to the drive, and it has a particular advantage proved themselves here when to put on or move back the Brake shoes on or from the brake rails pivotable on Parallelogram linkages with double-armed levers mounted on a bending punch are provided on the one hand articulated with the Brake shoes, possibly the brake brackets, and on the other hand are connected to the drive.
  • the parts of the holding brakes on the side of the bending punch in particular the brake shoes, including the bearings, can in themselves, for example for smaller versions of sheet metal bending devices, simple be provided on one side of the punch, then due to a small lever arm (the distance from the Plane of symmetry of the counter-bending punch) acting torques can still be negligible.
  • a small lever arm the distance from the Plane of symmetry of the counter-bending punch acting torques can still be negligible.
  • a symmetrical structure i.e.
  • the counter-bending punch from a rigid box construction with two parallel, vertical plates, the tool holder as the lower one End, an upper end bar and one in between, in Inside the box, arranged locking device, which has two mirror-image brakes facing outwards Machine frame side stands work out. Every brake is there from a movable brake shoe and a fixed, on Side stand attached brake rail.
  • the brake shoe is on a brake console arranged at the end of a powerful, movable lever, the (two) hinge rod, is articulated.
  • the Brake shoes are shared by both sides acting drive via parallelogram linkage to the brake rails pressed and biased.
  • the side stands are with Help from before and after the punch, i.e.
  • the brakes are opened again ("release") by means of the brake drive, the two articulated rods Join the movement as a slight swivel movement; the upper cheek is now free and can be moved using its linear actuator become.
  • the drive of the brake contains a motor-driven, centrally arranged, vertical spindle and a plate-shaped, movable yoke that carries the spindle nut.
  • the spindle together with the drive motor is inside the top beam stored.
  • the yoke engages in the parallelogram linkage on both sides one, thus by the yoke during the up and down movement the spindle nut are taken with the lever pairs of Parallelogram linkage using rollers on the top and bottom of the yoke.
  • the parallelogram linkages are mounted on pivot pins within the upper beam and at the outer ends via spring washers with the brake brackets the brake shoes are connected in an adjustable, preloaded manner.
  • the Disc springs act in addition to the desired initial contact pressure compensation of manufacturing inaccuracies when the brake is closed between both sides.
  • the brake rails and Brake shoes engage with a congruent zigzag profile Longitudinally one into the other, the individual prongs mutually support each other against bending under load. Due to the inclination of the contact surfaces due to the zigzag profile the normal force is increased so much that the coefficient of friction the conventionally machined braking surfaces for a safe Lock is sufficient.
  • the brake rail is longer than that Brake shoe executed, which locks the punch is possible in a wide range.
  • a sheet metal bending device 1 is in shape a so-called vibration bending machine, which illustrates a general has designated with 2 machine frame to which front side stand 3, 4 belong, which with vertical Side guides 5 and 6 (see also Fig. 5) for an upper, vertically movable up and down, serve as a counterstamp Bending punch 7 are equipped.
  • This upper punch 7 is below for the sake of simplicity and for the sake of better Distinction also called counterstamp 7).

  • Fig. 4 in which half of the counter-stamp 7 together with the upper part of the drive and guide bar 14 is shown.
  • the drive of the pinion 15 in the area of the two side stands 3, 4 can in a conventional manner from a motor gear unit 18 (see Fig. 2) about waves not visible be derived.
  • a motor gear unit 18 see Fig. 2
  • the two side stands 3, 4 with a smaller width than below, and they are with the help of a front and a rear drawstring 19, 20 clamped together in the form of plate-shaped cross bars that overall a rigid frame construction is achieved.
  • This Drawstrings 19, 20 can be seen from the representations in FIGS. 2 and 3, and in the area of these drawstrings 19, 20 are on the Side stands 3, 4 mirrored brake rails 21 with the help rigidly fastened by bolts 22, as shown in particular in Figures 3 and 5 for the one shown in Figure 1 on the right Side stand 3 can be seen.
  • brake rails 21 are Part of a locking device for the counter-stamp 7, if this in the working position when bending the respective Blechs is located, and this locking device consists in essentially of two arranged in mirror image to each other Parking brakes 23 (see Fig. 3 and 4), each one with the associated brake rail 21 interacting brake shoe 24 contain.
  • Each brake shoe 24 is on bolts 25 on a brake console 26 attached, which in turn over a massive executed pivot pin 27 on a solid joint rod or Swivel lever 28 is pivotally attached.
  • This joint rod 28 is also massive at its other end over one executed swivel bearing 29 with the box structure of the Upper beam 8, i.e.
  • Pivot bearing 29 is located at a distance X from approximately 20% of the total machine width from the side edge of the counter stamp 7, cf. the representation in Fig.1.
  • Such Arrangement of the pivot bearing 29 at a distance from Counter margin stamp 7 margin of about 1/5 of Machine width or counter-punch length has changed with regard to a minimization of the bending due to that of the lower bending dies 12 applied bending forces and the Introduction of these forces via the pivot bearings 29 and Joint rods 28 in the brake brackets 26 and brake shoes 24 as proven particularly efficient.
