Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bending tool mounted on a press bending machine (also called a press brake) for bending mechanical parts, such as a metal plate.
  • a press bending machine also called a press brake
  • Japanese Patent No. 1707773 discloses a bending tool proposed by the present applicant.
  • the disclosed bending tool includes two dies, each of which includes a die body, a blade and a bending block.
  • the blade is attached to an end of the die body.
  • An edge of the blade has an angle of substantially 90 degrees that is bisected by a vertical blade parting line (i.e., a center line).
  • the bending block is disposed adjacent to the blade with an adjustable space formed therebetween.
  • the bending block and the blade altogether define a space along a direction substantially perpendicular to an edge surface of the blade.
  • a work (typically a metal plate) is placed on the lower die for a pressing operation.
  • the blade edge of the upper die folds the work to the right angle at an area they are in contact with each other by pressing into the space formed adjacent to the blade of the lower die.
  • the blade of the upper die is stopped when supported by an outside edge (which is a longer edge) of the blade edge and an inner end edge of the bending block.
  • the blade edge of the lower die folds the work to the right angle at an area they are in contact into the space formed adjacent to the blade of the upper die.
  • the blade of the lower die is stopped when supported by an outside edge (which is a longer edge) of the blade edge and the inner end edge of the bending block. In this manner, a Z-shaped fitting is obtained.
  • any one of the blade and the bending block is integrally formed with the die body and the other is provided separately.

  • the blade and the bending block are removably attached to the die body.
  • Precise supporting surfaces of the blade and the bending block which are press bending members, may be provided during production of the die body and thus a more precise bending tool may be provided. Since either the front side or the back side of the blade or the bending block is open when the die body operates, the bending tool is hardly interfered by projected portions on the die body, which may improve operational efficiency. If an edge of the removable blade or the bending block chips, the blade or the bending block may be removed and repaired, or may be replaced by an alternative part, which may be advantageous in maintenance.

A further object is to provide a bending tool which may be safe to the operating personnel.

  • the angle formed by the blade parting line L2 and the outside edge 23 (e.g., 55 degrees) of the lower dies 2S and 2L (having an angle of the blade edge 22 of, e.g., 90 degrees) is made larger than the angle formed by the blade parting line L2 and the inside edge 24 (e.g., 35 degrees).
  • the inner end edge of the bending block 16 of the upper dies 1S and 1L is chamfered to form the chamfered face 16C which is parallel to the outside edge 23 of the blade 21 and the inner end edge of the bending block 26 of the lower dies 2S and 2L is chamfered to form the chamfered face 26C which is parallel to the outside edge 13 of the blade 11.
  • the inside edge 14 of the blade 11 is shorter than the length of the chamfered face 16C and the inside edge 24 of the blade 21 is shorter than the length of the chamfered face 26C.
  • the upper dies 1S and 1L are positioned such that the blade parting line L1 is located at a position further toward the blade parting line L2 of the lower dies 2S and 2L with respect to the center of the space between the blade parting line L2 and the inner end edge of the bending block 26.
  • the lower dies 2S and 2L are positioned such that the blade parting line L2 is located at a position further toward the blade parting line L1 with respect to the center of the space between the blade parting line L1 and the inner end edge of the bending block 16.
  • the metal mold may be elongated.
  • the upper die 1L and the lower die 2L may be elongated to provide the dies of substantially twice the length, i.e., the longer length.
  • an elongated metal mold may be employed for the bending operation of elongated works.
  • a plurality of the metal molds of the same or different length may be connected so as to elongate the upper and lower dies. Namely, the dies 1S and 2S may be connected to the dies 1S and 2S, the dies 1S and 2S may be connected to the dies 1L and 2L, and the dies 1L and 2L may be connected to the dies 1L and 2L. With this configuration, a plurality of the metal molds of the same or different length may be effectively connected so as to provide the bending operation for the works of varying lengths.
  • the illustrated spacer 17, 27 is commonly provided in the upper and lower dies 1 and 2 and consists of a plurality of spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175.
  • Each of the spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175 is an elongated plate having the height of less than that of the blocks 16 and 26 and the length corresponding to the length of the dies 1S and 2S of shorter length and the dies 1L and 2L of longer length.
  • These spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175 have different thicknesses, each having a different predetermined thickness. Cut-outs 19 are provided at predetermined positions between the screw holes 18, 28 and a longitudinal edge 17E of the spacer 17.
  • the spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175 may be engaged with the bolts B2 and B4 from outer peripheries thereof via the cut-outs 19.
  • the bolts B2 and B4 (see Fig. 1 ) are inserted in the screw holes 18 and 28 which are formed through the blades 11 and 21, the spacers 17 and 27 and the bending blocks 16 and 26. With these spacers 17 and 27 disposed between the blade 11 and the bending block 16 and between the blade 21 and the bending block 26, the work may be bent to form a step of a predetermined dimension.
  • one or more of the spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175 of varying thicknesses may be disposed between the blade 11 and the bending block 16 and between the blade 21 and the bending block 26 so that the work may be reliably bent to varying dimensions of the step.
  • the work may be bent to form a step of very small dimension that may not be provided in V-dies.
  • the bending operation may be conducted in a single step that may otherwise be conducted in two steps.
  • the spacers 171, 172, 173, 174 and 175 are engaged with the bolts B2 and B4, which fasten the blades 11 and 21, the spacers 17 and 27 and the bending blocks 16 and 26 to one another, from outer peripheries thereof via the cut-outs 19, the spacers may be engaged in a simple process. This is advantageous especially when a plurality of spacers is used in combination.
  • a modified embodiment of the blade is shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the illustrated blade is commonly provided in the upper and lower dies 1 and 2 and consists of a plurality of separated blades 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316 and 317 of varying lengths.
  • Each of the separated blades 311, 312, 313, 314 315, 316 and 317 are configured in the same manner as those blades described above except for their varying lengths and thus components thereof are denoted by the reference numerals mentioned in the foregoing description.
  • One or more of the separated blades may be connected together and mounted to the die body according to the length of the work to be processed. With this configuration, works of varying lengths may be bent in the bending tool. The bending tool may also be used for lancing.
