Definitions
- the invention relates to a bending head according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a bending head is for example disclosed in JP-A-57106430 .
- a number of automatic bending machines containing a bending head with a bending pin, a bending arm and a bending support have been disclosed, for example in the patent documents US 6 009 737 and US 5 495 740 .
- the bending arm is along with the bending pin coupled to a bending drive for joint rotation of the bending arm and the bending pin about the longitudinal axis of the bending pin.
- the bending arm contains a bending plate, which is adapted to move reversibly towards and away from the bending pin and which is coupled to a drive.
- the bending head further contains a bending support, which is provided with a support plate, which is with its drive adapted to move reversibly towards a position in front of the bending pin and the bending arm, in which the bent material is situated during the bending operation.
- the drives of the individual components of the automatic bending machine i.e. the drives of the bending arm and bending support, the drives of the positioning a gripping device of the bent material, as well as the bending drive, are coupled to the control mechanism of the automatic bending machine, which coordinates their operations, thus controlling the overall operation of the automatic bending machine.
- CZ PV 2006-289 describes a bending head for an automatic bending machine containing a longitudinal bed with a positioning and gripping device, whereby the bending head contains a bending support with an adjustable support plate, which is provided with a shape groove for the bent material and which is coupled to a drive coupleable to the control mechanism of the automatic bending machine.
- the support plate is mounted on a support mandrel, which is slidingly mounted in the body of the bending support, whereby it is coupled to an outlet member of a linear drive, which is coupled to a control mechanism of the automatic bending machine, the bending support being provided with a locking device of the bending plate.
- CZ UV 24556 discloses a bending device containing a longitudinal bed with a movable positioning and gripping device, which is aligned with a bending head containing a jointly rotatable bending pin and bending arm with an adjustable bending plate.
- the longitudinal bed is made up of longitudinal segments, whereby at one end of the longitudinal bed is selectably mounted a linear magnetic motor coupled to the positioning and gripping device or an electric servomotor with a motion belt coupled to the positioning and gripping device, while at the other end of the longitudinal bed is located a vertically and laterally adjustable bending head, whose bending arm is selectably situated on the right or left side of the bending head, whereby the bending plate on the bending arm is selectably composed of a bending stone or a bending roll or a bending roll with defined rolling away along the bent material during the bending operation.
- a common disadvantage of the bending heads known so far from the background art is the fact that without substantial rearrangements they only enable to perform bends in one direction, i.e. by rotating the bending roll either only to the right, or only to the left. If need arises to change the direction of bending, it is necessary either to use two separate bending heads with opposing rotation direction of the bending roll, which is demanding in economic terms and decreases the efficient utilization of the two bending heads, or it is necessary to rearrange the bending head for the opposite direction of rotation of the bending roll, which is economically challenging, since during the rearrangement the bending machine is blocked and out of operation, or it is necessary to turn the bent material, which places increased demands on the handling devices and the workspace around the bending machine, because a number of bent products have a relatively large length.
- JP A 57106430 is known a bending head, especially for an automatic bending machine, containing a pair of bending rolls and a bending support, whereby the bending rolls are mounted rotatably about their mutually parallel longitudinal axes on a bending stirrup, which is situated with its length perpendicularly to the longitudinal axes of the bending rolls, wherein each of the bending rolls is aligned with a means of a mutual forced rotary coupling of the two rolls and at least one of the rolls is coupled to a drive of its rotation.
- This solution allows bends in both directions but the design is complicated.
- the aim of the invention is to allow selectable and fast utilization of bends in both directions on a single device without the necessity of rearrangement, while maintaining productivity, accuracy, sufficient simplicity and long service life of the device.
- a bending head especially for an automatic bending machine, whose principle consists in that each of the bending rolls is aligned with a means of mutual forced rotary coupling of both rolls and at least one of the rolls is coupled to a drive of its rotation, whereby a bending stirrup is mounted linearly reversibly slidingly in the direction of its length in a rotary bending carrier, which is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, which is parallel to the longitudinal axes of both rolls and is situated in a plane interlaid by the longitudinal axes of both rolls and at the same time it is perpendicular to the direction of the length of the bending stirrup, in a bracket, which is rectilinearly reversibly slidingly mounted on the frame the bending head in the direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of both rolls and the rotary bending carrier and parallel to the direction of the length of the bending stirrup, all in a mutual initial position "zero" during insert

- The bending head according to claim 4, characterized in that the first drive of rotation of the toothed wheel (11, 21) contains the first linear drive (4), whose movable part is coupled to the first toothed comb (40), which is mounted reversibly slidingly in the frame (0) of the bending head and which is aligned with one of the toothed wheels (11, 21) by its toothing, whereby the second toothed wheel of the pair of toothed wheels (11, 21) is aligned with a securing toothed comb (41), which is mounted in the frame (0) of the bending head linearly reversibly slidingly towards and away from the second toothed wheel of the pair of toothed wheels (11, 21), whereby it is coupled to the second linear drive (42) and both linear drives (4, 42) are coupled to a source of energy and connected to a control mechanism.
- The bending head according to any of the claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the bending rolls 1, 2 are provided along their circumference with shape grooves (13, 23) for the bent material and with lightweight sections (12, 22) which are arranged mutually axially symmetrically within their outer circumference.
