Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bending machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Bending machines which, for example, bring steel wire into a "zig-zag" shape with the aid of a bending ram, wherein the ram can be moved by two linear drives.
  • a free end of the bending ram are bending surfaces which exert pressure against the wire, the wire itself being held by two clamping mechanisms.
  • There is also a feeding device provided so that the work rhythm of the steps advancing the wire, fixation of the wire by two clamping mechanisms, bending the wire through the bending ram, releasing the clamping mechanisms, feed the wire and again following clamping of the wire. It is of course necessary that one of the clamping mechanisms is arranged movable on the machine frame, otherwise the wire would be stretched during bending.
  • a disadvantage of bending machines of the prior art is that the use of two linear drives of the Beigest maneuverel itself is heavily stressed to bending, which is why this must be relatively large dimensions.
  • Another disadvantage that arises from two linear drives, is that with a structure only certain bending angle are possible. To produce, for example, lattice girders with different geometries, such bending machines of the prior art had to be extensively converted.
  • the DE 44 42 929 A1 discloses a bending machine for bending diagonal bars for lattice girders.
  • the bending punch is designed as a hydraulic cylinder. Due to the construction of this is relatively stressed to bending.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a bending machine that is designed to save material.
  • the plunger is mounted translationally and rotationally movable by a first bearing means and by a second bearing means, wherein the plunger during the bending operation by the first bearing means and by the second bearing means in the direction of a force to be exerted on the wire can be aligned.
  • the translational and rotational bearing of the bending ram is always aligned in the direction of the force that he is to exercise on the wire. As a result, it is less subject to bending and can therefore be made smaller.
  • Another advantage is the extended applicability. Because the additional rotational movement significantly more bending angle can be realized without having to rebuild the Beigemaschine itself before. As a result, it is then possible that a device for the production of lattice girders, the road machine is designed according to the invention, lattice girders of any geometry, as described for example in the Austrian patent application A 174/2013 have been disclosed.
  • the described improvement which eliminates conversions for various lattice girder geometries, makes it possible to manufacture lattice girders in a just-in-time process. In other words, these lattice girders can be quickly produced to order and in small economic quantities. Also lot sizes with the quantity 1 are possible.
  • the machine can thus be integrated, for example, in a precast concrete factory and provide the respective required lattice girders immediately before the concreting process. In devices for the production of lattice girders, as they are known in the art, this is not possible due to the required conversion work and it always had for a profitable operations always larger quantities the same lattice girder are produced, since the conversion costs so time and thus productivity.
  • the plunger has a fixed, invariable in operation length.
  • the design can be simplified as a result, since, for example, complex hydraulic cylinders are avoided in the ram itself.
  • the first bearing device articulates the ram at an end region of the ram and / or that the second bearing device articulates the ram at an end region of the ram.
  • the end regions should not be more than 20% of a total length of the plunger and of course be counted from one end of the plunger so as not to lose the technical effect.
  • the simultaneous translational and rotational bearing of the plunger can be achieved in a particularly simple manner by the first bearing device comprising a crank drive and / or in which the second bearing device comprises a push rod.
  • a first preferably rotary drive for moving the crank mechanism and / or a second, preferably linear, drive for moving the push rod can then be provided.
  • Protection is further desired for a device for lattice girder manufacture with a bending machine according to one of claims 1 to 7 and a welding device for welding diagonal belts with bottom straps and a top flange produced by means of the bending machine.
  • steel Due to its material properties, steel is the preferred material for lattice girder production.
  • the bending ram 2 is mounted on the machine frame 10 via a first bearing device 11 and a second bearing device 12.
  • the first storage device 11 has a crank mechanism 3.
  • the second storage device 12 has a push rod 7.
  • FIG. 3 Finally, it is shown how the bending is completed by the plunger 2.
  • the plunger 2 can be moved down again by the first drive 13 and the second drive 14, the clamping on the clamping mechanisms 4, 5 can be released and the feed of the wire 1 can be done by the feed device 9.
  • the bending machine 20 is then ready for a new bending operation.
  • FIG. 4 a perspective view of the bending machine 20 is shown.
  • two wires 1 are bent at the same time. This is particularly advantageous in the manufacture of lattice girders, since the bent wires 1 can then be used as diagonal straps 22, being required in pairs in a lattice girder.
  • both the crank 3 and the push rod 7 is executed in a forked construction.
  • the bending surfaces lie on a bolt which is guided both by the ends of the fork-shaped push rod 7 and by a fork-shaped end of the plunger 2.
  • FIG. 5 shows schematically a device for lattice girder production. Supplied are coils 15, on which suitable wire is wound. By unwinding 16 this is unwound and supplied in the case of the upper straps 23 and lower straps 21 of a leveler 17. The wire intended for the diagonal belts 22 is fed to the bending machine 20.
  • the lower chords, the upper chord and the diagonal straps produced in the bending machine 20 are fed together to the welding device 25, in which they are welded to a lattice girder 24.
  • the lattice girders are then stored in a reservoir 18.
  • FIG. 6 shows a side view of a lattice girder.
  • the most important dimensions of a lattice girder can be seen here. These are, on the one hand, the pitch T and the height H of the lattice girder. Also important are the angles ⁇ and ⁇ between the diagonal 22 and the bottom flange 21.
  • the bending machine according to the invention allows - unlike in the prior art - a completely free choice of parameters T, H, ⁇ and ⁇ . In fact, even obtuse angles for one of the angles ⁇ or ⁇ technically pose no problem.
  • Typical values for the height H are 60 mm to 450 mm.
  • Typical values for the pitches T are 150 mm to 250 mm.
  • the plunger does not have to be rod-shaped. Any other geometries, especially one bent into a sickle shape, are conceivable.
