Definitions

  • the invention refers to a four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end .
  • the above-mentioned machinery consist of a set of separate mechanisms each one of which carries out the corresponding task and, as a whole, the final product is produced.
  • the already known machines have the ability, apart from cutting and bending the one side of the iron rod, to also cut and form the second side of the iron rod, something similar to the present invention.
  • the bending speed is lower in relation to the invention, for the reason that although for the first end of the rod is followed the same procedure, that is, propulsion, bending and propulsion, for the bending of the rear end, the bending plate -which has a formation pin- rotates by 180°, the iron rod is moved -via additional propulsive rolls that these machines are provided with-firstly forwards as far as the length of the side to be bended, the cutting is accomplished and then, the rod returns to the bending point or to the bending points for the realization of bending.
  • the bending and cutting system consists of two different mechanisms, which are of a higher manufacture cost and they demand more space coverage for the machine.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is characterized by the fact that the processes of cutting and bending are executed by an integrated mechanism that performs a series of movements according to the commands given by the program of the machine.
  • This integrated structure increases the formation speed and decreases considerably the manufacture and damage cost.
  • the cutting preceding the bending is realized via rotation of the cutting tool (immovable-movable point) while the whole mechanism can move and remain at any point of the rod that is about to be formed.
  • the rod can be held in the formation canal via the cutting tool and the immovable formation point, so that during its movement or the movement of the formed shape, no any additional holding mechanism will be needed.
  • the entire mechanism for bending and cutting moves so far as the length of the bended part without any demand for an additional roll propulsion system.
  • the bending plate has the ability to bend in four directions via the four formation pins (two at the front and two at the back), the procedure of rotating the formation plate by 180° is not needed.
  • Each formation pin can also be used as an extractor, for the unblocking of the already formed shape out of the mechanism.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end consists of a rotating plate (1), which has four openings for the entrance of the four bending pins (5).
  • the bending pins (5) are adjusted firmly by twos on the two half rings (3).
  • the rings are adjusted externally of the plate (1) and glide up and down, with the aid of pistons (7) and transfer-springs (8) depending on the phase that the mechanism performs.
  • the rotation of the plate (1) is accomplished via a pair of gears (11) and (12), and the motion is given by motor (10).
  • the rings (3) externally have circumferential grooves (paths) so that during their rotation (e.g. bending phase) they can function as guides of the transfer-springs (8), which, in this way, can move circumferentially of the rings.
  • the whole system of the rotating plate is based on ball bearings and corresponding housings.
  • the rotating plate (1) Internally of the rotating plate (1) is adjusted the pierced base (2) of knives (20) and in its internal is adjusted the axle (4) for the assembling of the formation pins (6) and for the use of its openings as a steady point so as to achieve cutting-holding.
  • the base for the knives (2) and the axle (4) move and slide up and down by use of a piston (9).
  • the upward motion (figures 3, 4, 5 & 6) is necessary in order to fulfill the front or rear cutting of the iron rod and the use of the knives (20) and of the axle housings (4) (figures 3, 9, 10, 11) as a clamp for the transference of the rod or of the formed shape, and the backward motion is necessary for the front or rear bending (figures 1 & 7).
  • the base (2) is seated on ball bearings and corresponding housings. Its rotation regarding the cutting of the rod is executed by use of a piston (13) and a corresponding ringed base (15) which allows the upward and downward movement of the base (2).
  • the base (2) is rotated via an assisting pneumatic piston (14) and stabilizes the rod between the knives (20) and the opening of the base (4) with such a pressure that it's sufficient for the transference of the rod without scratching its surface.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is placed on a metal casing (16). On its two sides are adjusted seating mountings (17) for the sliding of the entire mechanism on the axles-guides for transference (18).
  • the backward & forward motion of the mechanism is accomplished by use of pistons (19) or other mechanism.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is adjustable to machines for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rods or to corresponding machines which form iron rods.
  • the mechanism can optionally cooperate with a holding-driving canal for the formed shape (26) which has the length of our choice.
  • a pair of propulsive roll guides (22 & 23) is optionally placed near to the mechanism.
  • the pair of rolls consists of the immovable roll (23), the mobile roll (22) that is adjusted by piston (24) according to the diameter size or the cross section of the iron rod.
  • the rotation of the roll (23) is carried out by a motor.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is placed in machines for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rod, or in corresponding machines, which processes iron rods, also known as robotic machines.
  • This kind of machines can form straightened iron concrete rods or other iron rods and can also elaborate iron rod from coil.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is placed in a machine for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rod, (electronic robotic machine), figure 14, sheet 10.
  • the machine collaborates with canal-holding guide of the formed shape (26) and collector of the formed shapes (25), which is located in the lower part of the machine and of the canal, as well as with assisting propulsive roll-guides (22 & 23) in case the machine does not provide them near the mechanism.
  • the iron concrete rod is inserted into the propulsive and straightening rolls - usually the rod comes from an iron coil (steel works) - or is straight and passes through the assisting propulsive and straightening roll-guides (22 & 23).
  • the mechanism is located on the left side of the opening, the bending pins (5) and the cutting knives (20) are located on the lower part.
  • the formation pins (6) are at the phase of formation (lower point).
  • Propulsion and straightening of the iron rod will be as much as the length of the side of the first bended part.
  • the shape can insert into the canal-holding guide (26) if its length is correspondent.
  • the formation is completed.
  • the pins are at the lower point and the rotating plate (1) rotates till the point where one bending pin shall be under the cross section of the iron rod of the formed shape so as to function as an extractor.
  • the one pair of bending pins is ascending (figure 12 & 13, sheet 7) and at the same time with the opening of the canal - if the shape due to its size is inside the canal - the formed shape (25) is detached from the mechanism and collected by the collectors for formed schemes which are located at the lower part of the machine and the canal.
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is placed in a machine for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rod, (electronic robotic machine), figure 14, sheet 10.
  • the machine collaborates with a canal-holding guide of the formed shape (26) and with a collector of the formed shapes (25) which is located on the lower part of the machine and of the canal as well as with assisting propulsive roll guides (22 & 23) in case the machine does not provided them near the mechanism.
  • the iron concrete rod inserts into the propulsive rolls and passes through the assisting propulsive roll-guides.
  • the mechanism is located on the left side of the opening, the bending pins (5) and the cutting knives (20) are located on the lower part.
  • the formation pins (6) are at the formation phase (lower point).
  • Propulsion and straightening of the iron rod will be as much as the total length of the sides of the bended parts.
  • the straightened rod is inserted to the canal (26) and is held still.
  • the mechanism moves forward as much as the length of the first bended part and, according to those analyzed at the first application example, rear bending is realized (P1).
  • the four-direction mechanism for iron concrete rod bending with cutting ability of the front and rear end is placed in a machine for straightening, bending and cutting of iron concrete rod, (electronic robotic machine), figure 15, sheet 11.
  • the machine collaborates with a canal-holding guide of the formed shape (26) and with a collector of the formed shapes (25) which is located at the lower part of the machine and of the canal.
  • the iron concrete rod is inserted into the propulsive and straightening rolls - the rod is usually straightened or comes from an iron coil (steel works) - and passes through the assisting propulsive roll-guides (22 & 23) which these machines are provided with.
  • the mechanism is located on the left side of the opening, the bending pins (5) and the cutting knives (20) are located at the lower part.
