Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an upper tool for a press brake, an upper tool holder assembly for a press brake, and a method of holding the upper tool by the upper tool holder assembly for a press brake.
  • An upper tool according to the pre-characterising part of claim 1 is known from EP-A-0 569 880.
  • a press brake is provided with an upper table (referred to as an upper apron, sometimes) and a lower table (referred to as a lower apron, sometimes) in mutually opposing positional relationship with respect to each other. Further, any one of the upper and lower tables is driven in the vertical direction as a ram.
  • an upper tool (referred to as a punch) is attached to the upper table and further a lower tool (referred to as a die) is attached to the lower table in order to bend plate-shaped work to various desired shapes.
  • the press brake in general, since the upper tools must be exchanged according to the bending shapes of work, a number of upper tool holders are arranged on the lower portion of the upper table. That is, a plurality of upper tools are supported by a plurality of upper tool holders so as to be exchanged with respect to each other.
  • an upper tool clamp member is attached to a holder body mounted on the lower portion of the upper table, and further fastened by use of fastening bolts, so that the upper portion of the upper tool can be strongly clamped between the holder body and the upper tool clamp member.
  • the upper tool clamp member must be half fastened to such an extent that the upper tool does not drop for alignment with the die, and after that the upper tool clamp member must be full fastened tightly after the upper tool and die have been aligned with each other.
  • the tool setting work is troublesome.
  • the upper tool can be clamped between the upper clamp member pivotally supported by the upper table and the holder body, since the upper tool must be attached to or removed from the upper table by pivoting the upper tool so as not to interfere with a pivotal axle of the upper tool clamp member; that is, since the upper tool must be pivoted by supporting the upper tool as heavy as 20 to 30 kg manually on the front side of the press brake, there exists a problem in that this work is dangerous for the worker (in particular for the worker's hand and waist.
  • the upper tool since the upper tool is clamped between the upper tool clamp member (pivotally supported by the upper table) and the holder body, the upper tool must be exchanged by pivoting the upper tool so as not to interfere with a pivotal axle of the upper tool clamp member, so that there exists another problem in that the shape of the upper tool is not simple, that is, complicated and thereby the upper tool cannot be processed easily.
  • the upper tool can be attached to or removed from the upper tool holder apparatus by pivoting an operation lever provided on the upper tool holder apparatus from a clamp position to an unclamp position or vice versa to facilitate the upper tool exchange.
  • the upper tool is exchanged by the upper tool holder apparatus by shifting the upper tool in the longitudinal (the right and left) direction, when some upper tool elements of a series of the split type upper tools of different lengths are required to be exchanged at the middle portion thereof, there exists a problem in that the upper tool exchange work is rather troublesome.
  • an upper tool clamp member 403 is attached to an upper holder body 401 fixed to a lower portion of an upper table (not shown). Therefore, an upper tool 407 can be fixed or clamped between the clamp member 403 and the upper tool holder body 401 when the clamp member 403 is fastened by use of a fastening bolt 405. Therefore, whenever the upper tools 407 are required to be exchanged with other upper tools, a great number of fastening bolts 405 must be rotated to unfasten and fasten the upper tool clamp members 403, with the result that the upper tool exchange work is troublesome.
  • an angle ulower end surface 409E of an upper support portion 409 of the upper holder body 401) and a sliding surface 407F slidable in contact with a vertical surface 409F of the upper tool support portion 409 is formed accurately at 90 degrees in correspondence to the angle between the lower surface 409E and the vertical surface 409F of the upper support body 409.
  • this angle is process as ⁇ ⁇ 90 degrees to prevent ⁇ > 90 degrees under consideration of the processing error. The reason is as follows: if ⁇ > 90 degrees, as shown in Fig. 25A exaggeratively, a gap is produced between the lower end surface 409E of the upper tool support portion 409 and the shoulder portion 407S.
  • the upper tool 407 when work is bent, the upper tool 407 is deformed in a direction that this gap is reduced. As a result, the lower end portion 407E of the upper tool 407 is deformed relatively large (due to the punching pressure) in accompany with this deformation due to the pressure of this gap, thus degrading the bending precision.
  • the fastening force applied to the fastening bolt 405 differs according to the worker
  • the deformation at the lower end portion 407E of the upper tool 407 differs according to the worker and/or worker's fatigued conditions.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an upper tool holder apparatus, which can clamp the upper tool under a constant clamping force and under excellent upper tool exchange reproducibility, without modifying the construction of the conventional structure largely.
  • the other object of the present invention is to provide a method of holding the upper tool by the upper tool holder apparatus under a constant upper tool clamping force whenever the upper tools are exchanged with other ones.

  • the upper tool can be supported by the upper tool clamp member, the upper tool exchange work can be facilitated in safety. Further, since the vertical surface of the upper tool is used as the clamping surface, the upper tool according to the present invention can be clamped to the upper table by use of the ordinary upper tool clamp member.
  • the upper tool holder apparatus since the clamping force control means (the pusher screw) is thread-engaged with the upper tool clamp member and further since the clamp operation means (the operation lever) fixed to the pusher screw is selectively pivoted to the clamp position A for firmly clamping the upper tool, an unclamp position B for shifting the upper tool horizontally for upper tool adjustment and alignment, and further to the exchange position C for upper tool exchange, it is possible to adjust and exchange the upper tool easily and safely.
  • the upper tool clamp member urging means (the coil springs) are provided, when the operation lever is pivoted to the unclamp position B, the upper tool clamp member can be urged slightly in the clamp direction, so that it is possible to prevent the upper tool from being dropped during the upper tool adjustment or alignment.
  • the clamp release holding means (the engage recess and the ball plunger) are provided, when the operation lever is pivoted to the exchange position C, the upper tool clamp member can be kept away from the upper tool, so that it is possible to exchange the upper tool with a new one in the vertical direction easily.

  • the upper tool holder apparatus can be exchanged easily by use of the upper tool holder apparatus. Further, whenever the upper tools of the same upper wedge dimension are exchanged, since the clamping force of the upper tool can be kept at a constant value, it is possible to obtain an excellent reproducibility of the alignment between the upper tool and the die, ever after the upper tools are exchanged for various bending process. As a result, the upper tool exchange work can be facilitated and further the bending precision can be improved.

Therefore, it is possible to consider that the upper tool clamp member 11, the clamping force adjusting device 13, etc. constitutes a kind of clamping force increasing mechanism such that when the upper tool 9 is moved upward relative to the support plate 7, the clamping force can be increased gradually.
  • the clamping force adjusting device 13 having the elastic member 47 is used as a part of the clamping force increasing mechanism, it is also possible to adopt a hydraulic (e.g., gas) cylinder including a compressive fluid (gas) instead of the clamping force adjusting device 13. Further, it is also possible to replace the upper tool clamp member 11 with a leaf spring to use the elastic deformation of the upper tool clamp member itself, without use of the clamping force adjusting device 13. In other words, various constructions can be adopted as the clamping force increasing mechanism of the upper tool holer apparatus 1.

  • a small diameter hole 73 is formed in the bottom wall portion of the hole 5H of the holder body 5. Further, a contact member 75 thread-engaged with the upper portion of the rear-side upper tool clamp member 65 is passed through the small diameter hole 73 and further brought into contact with the head 41H of the adjust screw 41.

  • A denotes the distance between a pivotal center of the upper tool clamp member 11 and the elastic means 47 of the clamping force adjusting device 13 for urging the upper tool clamp member 11
  • B denotes an average distance between a pivotal center of the upper tool clamp member 11 and a clamping force application point (at which the upper tool clamp member 11 pushes the upper tool 9 against the support plate 7 via the contact member 17)
  • P denotes the clamping force for pushing the upper tool 9 against the support plate 7
  • K denotes the elastic coefficient (modulus of elasticity) of the elastic member 47;
  • the distance H is smaller than that expressed by the above formula. This is because when the contact surface 9F of the upper tool 9 is brought into contact with the lower end surface 7E of the support plate 7 by a slight upward movement of the upper tool 9 relative to the support plate 7, a sufficient clamping force cannot be obtained. As a result, there exists a danger that the upper tool 9 drops.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ of the inclined surface 9S of the upper tool 9 lies between 5 and 20 degrees. That is, when the inclination angle is less than 5 degrees, the distance H must be increased to deform the elastic member 47 sufficiently. Further, when more than 20 degrees, although the distance H can be reduced, this is not desirable because the downward component force becomes large.
