Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bending machine with a bending tool length adjusting mechanism according to the preamble of claim 1, which carries out bending processing of a plate material, for example, bending processing of a bending piece provided around an inner window opening in a door panel.
  • a door panel 91 made of a sheet metal has a inner window opening 92 for natural illumination or the like and a bending piece 93 provided around the periphery of the opening 92 to allow a glass plate to be fitted into the opening. Bending processing of the bending piece 93 is carried out by wipe-bending processing in which the periphery of the opening 92 in the door panel 91 is wipe-bent.
  • the vertical and horizontal size of the opening 92 varies depending on the type of the door panel 91, and a dedicated bending machine is thus normally used which changes a bending tool depending on the size and type of the opening 92.
  • bending machines which make it possible to adjust the length of a wipe-bending tool in accordance with the size of the inner window (for example, the Examined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokko-Hei) No. 5-38659 and the Japanese Patent No. 3201308 & JP-A-10291032 ) on which the preamble of claim 1 is based.
  • These bending machines use a bending tool group including a plurality of bending tools arranged in a line so as to adjust the length of the bending tool by selecting the number of bending tools used.
  • the conventional bending machines with the bending tool length adjusting mechanisms all adjust the length of the bending tools inside the bending machine main body. This limits an adjustment form.
  • a bending piece 93 is separated into fragments corresponding to respective peripheral sides. Bending processing of the bending piece 93 can be achieved by any of the conventional bending machines with the bending tool length adjusting mechanisms.
  • the bending piece 93 may need to be continuous along the four sides of the opening.
  • the corner portion between the adjacent sides of the opening 92 needs to be processed into a corner rounded portion 93a that allows the bending piece 93 to be continuously curved.
  • the inventor envisaged a method for forming such a continuous bending piece 93 in which the corner portions of the opening 92 are subjected to bending processing and thus formed into the corner rounded portions 93a and in which the sides of the opening 92 are then subjected to bending processing to form a bending piece 93 that is continuous along the four sides of the opening as shown in Figure 15 .
  • the conventional bending machines with the bending tool length adjusting mechanisms increase or reduce the number of bending tools from an end of the bending tool group.
  • the bending piece 93 having the corner rounded potions 93a as shown in Figure 15 cannot be subjected bending processing using a bending tool group with square opposite ends as described above.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a bending machine with a bending tool length adjusting mechanism which provides a certain degree of freedom for the form of length adjustment of bending tools.
  • Another object of the present invention is to enable the opposite ends of a bending tool group to be rounded even with a variation in the length of the bending tool group, allowing a bending piece to be processed so that an opening has a corner rounded portion in each corner portion.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to allow any number of the bending tools to be smoothly placed on a traveling member that travels with the bending tool group placed thereon.
  • the present invention provides a bending machine with a bending tool length adjusting mechanism according to claim 1.
  • the bending tool length adjusting mechanism allows the traveling member with the bending tool group placed thereon to move into and out of the bending machine main body, and the bending tool length adjusting mechanism thus selects, outside the bending machine main body, a bending tool to be loaded onto the traveling member from the bending tool group.
  • the traveling member has the pair of abutting members provided thereon, and against which the opposite ends of the bending tool group are abutted for positioning and the abutting member moving mechanism provided thereon to move the abutting members. This enables the bending tool group placed on the traveling member and having one of various possible lengths to be fixed using the abutting members. This provides a certain degree of freedom for the form of length adjustment of the bending tools.
  • the number of bending tools located in the middle of the bending tool group can be changed with the bending tools at the opposite ends of the bending tool group remaining unchanged.
  • the number of bending tools located in the middle of the bending tool group can be changed by the following configuration.
  • the bending tool group on the traveling member may have end-only bending tools positioned at opposite ends of the bending tool group.
  • An end of an arrangement of the bending tool group at a tip surface of the end-only bending tool may constitute a curved surface portion exhibiting a curved line in a cross section in the bending tool arranging direction.
  • the abutting member moving mechanism may be able to move the end-only bending tool located farther from the bending machine main body, to a position where the end-only bending tool lies away from an end of a maximum arranging length of the bending tools on the bending tool storage mount.
  • the corners of the ends of the arrangement of the bending tool group can be rounded so as to have the curved surface portions. This enables the bending piece to be processed so that the opening has the corner rounded portion in each of the corner portions. Even with the end-only bending tools provided as described above, where the abutting member moving mechanism is able to move the end-only bending tool located farther from the bending machine main body, to the position where the end-only bending tool lies away from the end of the maximum arranging length of the bending tools on the bending tool storage mount, the number of the bending tools in the middle of the bending tool group can be selected.
  • the placing pusher mechanism may comprise a plurality of push rods arranged in juxtaposition along bending tool arranging positions on the bending tool storage mount, and at a position opposite to the traveling route, an endless pivoting member located opposite the traveling route so that a pivoting route for the endless pivoting member extends along an arrangement of the push rods, a pivoting member moving forward and backward mechanism that moves the endless pivoting member forward and backward with respect to the push rods, and a plurality of selective pushing members which are provided in a part of the endless pivoting member in a length direction thereof and in juxtaposition in the length direction, the selective pushing members pushing the push rods as a result of movement of the endless pivoting member carried out by the pivoting member moving forward and backward mechanism.
  • the endless pivoting member pivots to allow the adjustment of the length of the selective pushing member along the bending tool arranging position on the bending tool storage mount. This allows those of the bending tools on the bending tool storage mount the number of which corresponds to the adjusted length, to be placed on the traveling member. Thus, the length of the bending tool group on the traveling member can be smoothly adjusted.
  • the present invention provides the bending machine with the bending tool length adjusting mechanism, the bending machine having the bending tool group comprising the plurality of bending tools arranged in a line and the press driving mechanism that elevates and lowers the plate material relative to the bending tool group, the bending tool group carrying out bending processing on the plate material, the bending machine comprising the bending tool length adjusting mechanism that adjusts the length of the bending tool group in the bending tool arranging direction.

This provides a certain degree of freedom for the form of length adjustment of the bending tools.
  • the bending tool group on the traveling member has the end-only bending tools positioned at opposite ends of the bending tool group, and the end of the arrangement of the bending tool group at the tip surface of the end-only bending tool constitutes the curved surface portion exhibiting the curved line in a cross section in the bending tool arranging direction, and the abutting member moving mechanism is able to move the end-only bending tool located farther from the bending machine main body, to the position where the end-only bending tool lies away from the end of the maximum arranging length of the bending tools on the bending tool storage mount, the ends of the bending tool group can be rounded even with a variation in the length of the bending too group. This enables the bending piece to be processed so that the opening has the corner rounded portion in each of the corner portions.
  • the placing pusher mechanism comprises the plurality of push rods arranged in juxtaposition along the bending tool arranging positions on the bending tool storage mount and at a position opposite to the traveling route, the endless pivoting member located opposite the traveling route so that the pivoting route for the endless pivoting member extends along the arrangement of the push rods, the pivoting member moving forward and backward mechanism that moves the endless pivoting member forward and backward with respect to the push rods, and the plurality of selective pushing members which are provided in the part of the endless pivoting member in the length direction thereof and in juxtaposition in the length direction, the selective pushing members pushing the push rods as a result of movement of the endless pivoting member carried out by the pivoting member moving forward and backward mechanism, any number of the bending tools can be smoothly placed on the traveling member traveling with the bending tool group placed thereon.

Consequently, the pusher 26a and the end tool pusher mechanism 55 perform an operation of pushing the end-only bending tools 3 21 , 3 22 for engagement or disengagement.
  • the bending machine with the bending tool length adjusting mechanism configured as described above thus provides a certain degree of freedom for the form of length adjustment of the bending tools 3.
  • the bending tool group 3A has the end-only bending tools 3 1 . 3 2 , positioned at the opposite ends thereof.
  • the end of the arrangement of the bending tool group at the tip surface of each of the end-only bending tools 3 1 , 3 2 constitutes the curved surface portion 3a exhibiting a curved line in a cross section in the bending tool arranging direction. Consequently, the opposite ends of the bending tool group 3A can be rounded even with a variation in the length of the bending tool group 3A.
  • the abutting member moving mechanism 24 is able to move the end-only bending tool 32 located farther from the bending machine main body 1, to the position where the end-only bending tool lies away from the end of the maximum arranging length of the bending tools 3 on the bending tool storage mount 25. This allows the middle bending tools 3 to be smoothly changed without posing any problem such as interference, while using the end-only bending tool 3 2 .
