Description

  The present invention relates to a wire bending method and apparatus.

  Examples of wire bending work were as follows when the applicant filed earlier and obtained a patent. (Patent Document 1) That is, a rod-shaped mandrel that passes through the tip of the wire and extends in a direction orthogonal to the front surface of the head body, and passes through the mandrel in the center, and in the recess of the head body, A disc-shaped bending sleeve that is rotatably inserted around the bending sleeve, a bending projection protruding from the outer surface of the bending sleeve, and means for integrally moving the bending sleeve and the mandrel forward and backward. Further, on the end surface exposed on the front surface of the head body of the mandrel, a guide groove along the diameter and a guide surface along the circumferential direction are continuously provided at the other end in front of the wire feeding direction of the guide groove. The nose part which determines the minimum bending radius of a wire is formed in the boundary part of the guide surface with respect to these guide grooves formed. Then, the wire is fed out from the guide groove of the mandrel, the bending sleeve is rotated, and the bending projection is pushed and bent.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1, 2 and 4, the wire W is gripped by the chuck 1 and bent into a U shape by the wire bending portion 10 as shown in FIG. That is, in the wire bending portion 10, a disk pin base 12 attached to the upper end of a bending shaft 13 that is rotatable about a vertical axis perpendicular to the wire feed direction, and the rotation at the upper end of the pin base. And a bending pin 11 erected at a position away from the axis in the radial direction. In the figure, two are erected at positions separated from each other in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis. A bending drive unit 20 having a prime mover connected to the lower portion of the bending shaft 13 is provided, and is rotated by a passive gear 21 by a drive gear and a servo motor (not shown).

  In the fixed bending guide portion 30, two guide pieces 31 constituting a guide path are fixed to the mounting base 32 so as to guide the passage of the wire on the upper side with a space from the upper surface of the pin base 12. A wire bending guide surface 31a is formed in the vicinity of the twelve rotation centers. The movable bending guide part 40 is provided with two guide pieces 41 constituting a guide path so as to guide the passage of the wire on the distal end side in the wire length direction with the disk pin base 12 interposed therebetween. A wire bending guide surface 41a is formed on the side.

  The rectangular parallelepiped mounting base 42 with the guide piece 41 fixed on the upper side is slidable in the wire length direction, and a stopper 42a is suspended on the disk pin 12 side on the lower surface of the mounting base, and on the anti-disk pin 12 side. The spring receiver 42b is suspended.

  4 and 5, in the movement guide drive unit 50, a rectangular parallelepiped intermediate member 51 is slidably engaged with the lower surface of the mounting base 42 in the wire length direction and compressed between the intermediate member 51 and the spring receiver 42b. A spring 52 is interposed, and a rack 53 is fixed to the lower end of the mounting base 42. A pinion 54 that meshes with the rack is fixed to a moving shaft 55, and a worm 57 meshes with a wheel 56 attached to the shaft, and the worm 56 is rotated by a moving motor 58.

  The whole is accommodated in the case 2 and moved up and down. In the case elevating unit 60, a piston cylinder 61 is mounted on the lower surface of the horizontal base 4 fixed to the device frame 3. A horizontal connecting rod 62 is attached to the lower end of the piston rod, and a support rod 63 erected from both ends of the piston rod passes through the base 4 to support the lower surface of the case 2.

  1, 2, and 4, the wire W is grasped by the chuck 1 and lowered from above, and is fixed between the fixed guide pieces 31, 31, between the bending pins 11, 11, and between the movable guide pieces 41, 41. Hold in. Next, the bending drive unit 20 operates, and the pin base 12 rotates to the right.

At this time, at the initial stage of bending, the wire is pulled toward the pin base due to the tensile force caused by the bending of the wire, and the moving guide piece is pulled toward the pin base while contracting the spring 52 due to the frictional force with the wire. And a clearance gap arises between the intermediate member 51 and the stopper 42a. Thereafter, the compression spring 52 extends the moving guide piece 41 while extending, and there is no gap between the intermediate member and the stopper. Thereby, the movement of the movement guide piece 41 follows the movement of the rack 53 and the pinion 54. When the pin base 12 rotates to the left in FIG. 6, the other pin 11 bends in a U-shape opposite to the above.

  Next, in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the case 2 is lowered by operating the piston cylinder 61 of the case elevating unit 60, the wire W is held by the chuck 1, and the bending pin is interposed between the fixed guide pieces 31 and 31. 11, 11 and between the moving guide pieces 41, 41, the arm of the chuck 1 is rotated upward, and the chuck 1 is separated from the chuck 1 at a product receiver (not shown).
