Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns an expulsion device for segments of bars, also called off-cuts, left over from the shearing and bending of bars pre-sheared to size, or as terminal parts of a roll.
- The invention is applied in particular on machines for the bending and shaping of bars able to form stirrups, or other shaped elements for reinforcement purposes. The invention comprises expulsion means cooperating with a shears and/or the rollers of a drawing assembly which feeds the bars towards a bending assembly located downstream of the shears, (see for example
EP-A-0 374 465 ). - There are known bending machines for straight bars able to shape stirrups, or other shaped reinforcement elements; such machines substantially consist of a drawing assembly, for example with rollers, able to feed the bars towards a bending assembly, and a shears, located between the drawing assembly and the bending assembly, able to shear the shaped bars to take them to the size corresponding to the linear development of the segments to be formed.
- Since this linear development often does not correspond exactly to the length of the sheared bars, a terminal segment of the bars, or off-cut, remains between the drawing assembly and the shears, preventing the start of a new working cycle. The off-cuts must therefore be discharged from the axis of feed of the bars, either manually or by means of suitable expulsion devices.
- Conventional expulsion devices normally consist of at least a pair of ejector rollers which are able to intervene after shearing, so that the off-cut is discharged axially, thus freeing the shears and the drawing assembly.
- With this solution, however, there is a risk that the discharged off-cut might interfere with the bending assembly, arranged immediately downstream of the shears, or with other operating assemblies which can be present on the bending machine, compromising the correct functioning thereof and in any case obliging the operator to intervene. Moreover, the conventional solution does not guarantee sufficient safety for the operator, since the off-cuts are discharged in an uncontrolled manner and can hit the operator
- Moreover, when the off-cuts are very small, the ejector rollers may not be able to intervene.
- Another shortcoming is that when it is necessary to discharge the bar rapidly from the machine, due to any malfunctioning thereof, the ejector rollers are not able to perform this operation quickly and efficiently, thus causing long downtimes and slowing down the functioning of the machine.
- The present Applicant has devised and embodied this invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain further advantages.
- The invention is set forth and characterized essentially in the main claim, while the dependent claims describe other innovative characteristics of the invention.
- Purpose of the invention is to achieve an expulsion device for bars or segments of bars in bending machines, in order to make stirrups or other shaped elements, wherein the bars or segments of bars are discharged in such a fashion that, once discharged, the segments of bars do not interfere with the correct functioning of the machine and do not entail risks for the operator.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve an expulsion device able to act even on very small segments of bar.
- In accordance with these purposes, the expulsion device according to the invention comprises expulsion means movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis on which the bar advances, and cooperating at least with the shearing assembly arranged upstream of the bending assembly. The expulsion means are able to move between a first position of non-interference, wherein they are arranged laterally with respect to the bar being worked and allow it to advance freely, and a second expulsion position, wherein they act on the bar to displace it laterally and discharge it from the axis of feed.
- In a preferential embodiment, the expulsion means are arranged immediately upstream of the shearing assembly of the bending machine, and comprise a thruster element with at least a wall orthogonal to the working plane of the machine and able to be moved transversely, by means of a linear actuator to act laterally on the segments to be discharged.
- According to another preferential embodiment, the expulsion device has thruster means shaped like an upside-down U or C.
- Thus, by activating the actuator, the wall orthogonal to the working plane is displaced transversely and causes the bar or segment of bar to be discharged to fall.
- At the side of the machine, there may be suitable means to collect the segments.
- In the case of a thruster element shaped like an upside-down C, the expulsion device, in the position of non-interference, can define a cavity inside which the bars being worked are able to slide axially.
- According to a variant, the expulsion device comprises two or more thruster elements which can be activated simultaneously or in any case in coordination, and cooperating respectively with the shears assembly and with one or more pairs of rollers of the drawing assembly. If the length of the segment of bar is such that it remains gripped on the rollers, the activation of the expulsion device is preceded by a step of opening the rollers so as to release the grip on said segments.
- The device according to the present invention therefore allows to discharge bars or segments of bars of any length, laterally with respect to the machine, so as to prevent the discharged bars from interfering with the correct functioning of the machine.
- Moreover, the lateral action of the expulsion means allows to discharge the bars rapidly from the machine so that, if there are malfunctions or breakages, the downtimes are limited and the functioning of the machine is not slowed down.
- These and other characteristics of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferential form of embodiment, given as a non-restrictive example with reference to the attached drawings wherein:
-
fig. 1 is a view from above of a bending machine equipped with an expulsion device according to the invention, in a position of non-interference; -
fig. 2 shows the machine infig. 1 with the expulsion device in an expulsion position; -
fig. 3 is an axonometric view offig. 1 ; -
fig. 4 is an axonometric view offig. 2 ; -
fig. 5 shows a variant offig. 3 ; -
fig. 6 shows the device infig. 5 in the expulsion position; -
fig. 7 shows a first variant offig. 5 ; -
fig. 8 shows the device infig. 7 in the expulsion position; -
fig. 9 shows a second variant offig. 5 ; -
fig. 10 shows the device infig. 9 in the expulsion position. - With reference to
figs. 1 and 2 , anexpulsion device 10 forbars 11, or segments ofbars 11a, according to the invention is applied to abending machine 12. - In this case, the
bending machine 12 comprises abending disk 13 able to bend/shape thebar 11, ashears 14 arranged upstream of thebending disk 13, and able to finish thebent bars 11, eliminating the parts in excess with respect to the linear development of the formed shape, afirst drawing assembly 15 with pairs of rollers arranged upstream of theshears 14, and able to make thebar 11 advance towards thebending disk 13, and asecond drawing assembly 16 arranged downstream of the bending device and able to make thebar 11 advance to shape the trailing ends. - The
bending machine 12 also comprises a lead-inchannel 17 arranged upstream of thefirst drawing assembly 15 and able to facilitate the insertion of thebars 11 into the rollers of the latter. - The
expulsion device 10 in this case is arranged between thefirst drawing assembly 15 and theshears 14 and comprises thruster means 20 movable in a direction substantially orthogonal with respect to a nominal axis of feed X of the bar 11 (figs. 3-10 ), between a first position of non-interference wherein they allow thebar 11 to advance, and an expulsion position, wherein they act on the bar to displace it laterally with respect to the axis X. - The lateral movement of the thruster means 20 is achieved by respective
linear actuators 21, such as for example hydraulic cylinders. - In the form of embodiment shown in
figs. 3 to 6 , the thruster means 20 are shaped substantially like an upside-down C, and comprise afront wall 20a orthogonal to the plane on which thebars 11 advance, arear wall 20b parallel to thewall 20a and, connected with theactuator 21, anupper wall 20c which joins together the two upper ends of thewalls - The lower ends of the
walls base plate 22, 50 as to define a closedcavity 23 inside which thebars 11 slide. - The
front wall 20a also functions as a protection element for the operator. - In the embodiment shown in
figs. 3 and 4 , the segments ofbars 11a produced by the action of theshears 14 have a relatively limited length, so that a single thruster means 20 is able to displace them laterally, driven by theactuator 21, due to the thrust determined by the inner flank of therear wall 20b. - This thrust is produced until the
segments 11a are no longer supported by thebase plate 22 and fall downwards, possibly onto collection means provided for this purpose. During this step the rollers of thedrawing assembly 15 open to allow thesegments 11a to be discharged. - In the variant shown in
figs. 5 and 6 , used in the case ofsegments 11a of a greater size, several thruster means 20 are provided, in this case three, cooperating respectively with theshears 14 and the pairs of rollers of thedrawing assembly 15. In this particular case, the thruster means 20 located on the extreme left in the drawings can replace thechannel 17, creating a lead-in for thebars 11 to be inserted into the rollers of thedrawing assembly 15. - With the
device 10 according to the invention it is also possible to laterally discharge theentire bar 11 inserted, in order to accelerate possible maintenance operations in the event of breakdowns or malfunctions. - It is clear, however, that modifications and/or additions of parts can be made to the
expulsion device 10 as described heretofore, without departing from the field and scope of the present invention. - For example according to the variant shown in
figs. 7 and 8 , the thruster means 20 is without thefront wall 20a. - According to the variant shown in
figs. 9 and 10 , the thruster means 20 is also without theupper wall 20c and has only a wall orthogonal to the plane on which the bar advances, functioning as a thruster element. - It is also clear that, although the present invention has been described with reference to specific examples, a skilled person shall certainly be able to achieve many other equivalent forms of expulsion device for bars, or segments of bars, all of which shall come within the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
